I stopped at episode six. So I would lose nothing if I just jumped straight into the finale?shintoki said:

Bleach - Current filler arc end.
Yeah, I'm posting about Bleach here.
When you consider the bad track record for shounen filler arcs, I found this one actually turned out quite well. Had some cool battles, especially the final showdown. There was some very nice visual candy in the final episode.
Honestly I liked the villain in this arc more than Aizen. At least this guy actually did stuff and had some depth to him. Plus having a villain

who was constantly getting shit on was definitely a change of pace. Seriously, this guy just couldn't catch a break.
Don't you remember, Catherine was introduced into GinTama as a moe catgirl.cosmicblizzard said:

Those aren't real games. I mean, Naruto has like five "next gen" games... all published by Ubisoft here, of all people. Heck, they are still making DBZ games!
Some dumb shounen show 341 - It's rare to see this show have good-looking art for once, the whole flow of the episode was pretty enjoyable to, with some very impressive "explosion" animation, i don't think I'm going watch a another episode of this, unless they get a another impressive team of animators and staff. I'd also probably say it was more entertaining than the 40 minutes i was forced to watch of the first movie of this lulz.
Tales of the Street Corner
Well that was a neat concept for a movie and it was pretty well done, but it just dragged for too long. All the Mushi Pro movies I've seen were way longer than they needed to be. I mean this wasn't one of those 2 hour things that they made, but 40 min is a lot for what is essentially just an animated short minus the short part.

Icarus is joining the club of cool people! I found it cheaper somewhere but I'm not sure if they are a dependable place looking around online.

Mayo Chiki 12 - This episode was a sort of okay generic harem episode, fine for near the end of a bland and forgettable generic harem show.
That is, it wasn't very interesting, was pretty stupid, and disappointed. Everyone acted like generic harem characters, pretty much. The unique elements that at some points made the show funny, or entertaining, were often absent. For instance, instead of being an awesome troll, Suzutsuki acts like a generic harem girl, pretty much (who knows if it's truth or play-acting, but either way the effect is the same on the MC). The other girls are no better either. There's some pretty lame almost-but-not-really efforts at moving forward the main pair's relationship that ultimately, of course, falter (but not before some theoretically wacky hyjinx and "misunderstandings'!). Zzzz... disappointing indeed. I wonder how the next (and maybe final, we'll see?) episode will go.
Oh well. As you say, it's not like it was a good show anyway.

I agree, those are all quite valid complaints. That really was not a very good episode, if you need any more reasons why R-15 is the better show, look no further than the substantial difference in quality between their twelfth episodes... but as for the rest of those things, yeah, I agree with all of them, plus the things I mentioned above as well, except for your last point;mAcOdIn said:
I think that getting that petition together was a decent effort for him, not too bad as an action... it's the rest of the episode that made the episode disappointing.
Oh, and while it's certainly unrealistic to believe that a petition would get her father to take Subaru back as a butler, it was inevitably going to happen anyway because this is the way things go in stories like these, anime or no. They could have come up with a bit better reason for it (like saying that the whole thing was indeed orchestrated by Suzutsuki or something), but no, they just leave it as it is, standard movie unbelievable.

She didn't, though, unless you missed how she kicked him once he made the slightest move towards her. Sure, she might have suggested that maybe in the future she might want to go farther (depending on how you interpret her line), but she wasn't saying anything about the moment. As I said above, it was, of course, a standard harem tv anime "misunderstanding". I called the ending of that scene pretty much from the beginning, and it happened just as expected. Kind of stupid, perhaps, but eh, not too bad really... it's not like they're boyfriend and girlfriend yet, and they are still young.RuroniZel said:

That's right, it's really a particular type of ending. A number of manga > anime adaptations have false endings because they haven't adapted all the material, but with Sunrise they are the ones actually creating the material so it's quite different.hosannainexcelsis said:
