Sketama: Yeah, after the Gin Dance episode, this was mostly more of the same and fairly boring. They even did the same seiyuu joke. It doesn't help that I kept thinking how weird the Gintama characters looked because they redid them to fit Sket Dance's character designs.
Strangely, neither crossover really made a compelling case to check Sket Dance out...

Blood-C (Finale) - That was genuinely amazing in every way, great action, well-directed, well-paced, good animation, the writing was totally CLAMP but it worked well with the absolute chaos that was on display in this episode.
So the movie is going be basically
can't WAIT.
Also on a another note this was way more satisfying than a certain show back in spring starting with C...

saya going out for REVENGE on the people who wronged her?

So, the Horizon show has Sunrise behind, with a lead guy (who I want to punch) voiced by Jun Fukuyama, a shitload of girls with big tits, possible lesbians, and it's coming from the director of Dragonaut? This'll be A FUCKING TRAIN WRECK. I'm going to watch this hard.
Damn, I want to punch the lead guy, just from watching the PVs.

I wonder how the 2 Index girls vs Sayaka matchup plays out. Hopefully Sayaka squashes.
I don't even think a Kana Hanazawa girl can stop Tomoe. So moe it's in her name.

Blood-C 11-12
This was an amazing experience. The action in the last episode especially was very impressively animated and directed. This ended up quite enjoyable and I greatly look forward to the movie. Sometimes it's nice to sit back and watch some solid popcorn entertainment.

Not that I would eat popcorn while watching this. Or anything. Even with the lazy censorship, it's so brutal!

I was eating popcorn and drinking some Modelos. It really wasn't that gruesome. The censor bars, blots and screens took away from the moment a bit.
Although the part where one of the twins gets ripped apart by her legs was so damn awesome even butchered by censors and lack of specific detail.
I'm definitely buying the BR of the series. At least the last volume because the last 2 episodes are totally worth watching again, especially in uncensored form.

Angel Beats is probably Key's best anime, and that's saying something because I really like Kanon. It's either better than or almost as good as Kanon overall, anyway, certainly.hosannainexcelsis said:
This is true about a lot of things though, so I don't know how good a point that is. I mean, it's true, but in terms of anime, videogames, etc, it quite often is...jman2050 said:
You are a bunch of haters, though. You just seem to think that because you say you're right it doesn't apply or something.
As for Nichijou, sure, I do think that should be more acclaimed... I didn't mean that I think more popular things are better, or something. I dislike many popular shows after all. Just that I don't think the degree of hate Key gets is representative of anything beyond a vocal part of animegaf. And people are free to dislike it, sure, it's just that this "Key is actually horrible" narrative that's been created is completely ridiculous.
I mean, would Key haters be so vocal in their hate if Key wasn't popular? Seems unlikely... the strength of the Key bashing is a reaction to something. And there are good reasons that Key is popular, mostly in their strong storywriting skills.
On that note, Angel Beats is an interesting departure for Key, in that it's their first series that isn't a harem show... that definitely gives it a different feel
particularly once you figure out what the central relationship is
I guess Key storytelling and characters are a love-or-hate thing, though. They sure seem to be anyway.
The show starts changing focus somewhat after episode two. It's got a lot to get through and not many episodes to do it in, the story needs to keep moving and it does...Jexhius said:
I can't think of much Blood-C and Ergo Proxy have in common, no... um, unless you're referring to the fact that lots of people die in both shows, but that happens in plenty more shows than just those two. (Ergo Proxy is a quite good show, and does make sense eventually...)Dynedom said:

As long as we're talking about normal Kanade, and not the more dere-ish version seen in ep. 12, that'd be fine with me... my only qualm would be wondering if he actually deserves her, I mean she's so much more awesome than he is.RurouniZel said:
They're either joking or have a strong taste for horribly conceived, completely nonsensical and impossible to believe violence. I imagine there's some of each, but yes, I certainly wouldn't exactly say much of anything positive about the show, considering how moronic and nonsensically impossible to believe the show is almost all of the time.Uchip said:

At least the rest of her anatomy matches the boobs. Definitely does not look like the novel cover where the girl has the world's largest boobs along with the world's smallest hips.

Get your popcorn ready and strap in. All aboard the glorious trainwreck.
I'm going to be legitimately annoyed if this show is actually not what I'm expecting at all and is actually a coherent story with interesting characters that stays grounded and thus is incredibly boring.
I think the novel cover I posted was this girl's mom. Dat, uh, hair?darkside31337 said:

Well that was... odd. It's like they just decided to forego the purpose of both shows and make random jokes. A few were funny, but most were eh. Massive disappointment after the incredible 24 and 25.

Penguin Drum Ep12
I'm not going to say much about this episode at all, other than it was very well directed. This is a major episode that changes the entire context of the series up to now, and I feel that most of the opinions I had on the series as a whole previously, no longer apply. Both the good and the bad. Regarding the contents of the episode itself, I hope everyone watches it and decides for themselves whether they like where it is going, don't rely on impressions for ep12, they are all pointless, make up your own mind.

I just finished watching this series from 2009 I think called Needless.
Apart from the first few epsiodes the entire series was set over one long drawn out battle!

Mad Bull 34 1-4
This show is what happens when you sit in a room and write adolescent fantasies without any regard for how any of society's institutions work. Why research police work, legal proceedings, journalism, or even believable physics when you can make tits bounce and shit blow up.

Idolmaster Ep13
Decent climax to the first half of the series. Some of the writing and stuff in the middle of the episode was really lazy, and lowered my opinion on the overall episode. Cheap cliched attempts at drama never goes over well. The animation in the "A" scenes towards the end were really nice, but the entire episode was literally filled with "C" scenes to make up for it. Really inconsistent. I'm not disappointed by how this big event episode turned out, but it's far from the best episode of the series, and it could definitely have been much better.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes 1-13
I decided that I'd been putting it off long enough and dived head long into this long series. I realized I was exactly at 1 cour so I thought I'd write something about it.
I have to say, I'm a sucker for space opera and this show pushes all the right buttons for me. Political maneuverings and military strategy are the order of the day and the cast is massive. The exposition can get unwieldy at times (you can tell its adapted from a novel since the narrator gives really long backstory for setup episodes) but the characters are all developed marvelously (so far).
The only complaint I have is that the Galactic Empire is more interesting by magnitudes over the Free Planets Alliance for me so much so that the alternating nature of the episodes is kinda jarring. You're watching awesome political backstabbing and scheming in Odin one episode and then the next, Yang laments his position yet again and we get to watch how democracy fails us all in fictionalized form.
Reinhard is the most magnificent bastard ever. Lelouch has nothing on this dude, siscon and all.
I'm only up to episode 13 but I can already feel that this will be one of the best shows I've ever seen. I'm kinda excited.

It is as amazing and hilarious as it sounds.
Bring on that goddamned movie. I don't care anymore.

Except replace
the zombies with extras in a wacky experiment and Lionel with oversized monster bunnies. Also add what has got to be an unhealthy amount of CLAMP for good measure.

For the record, in the manga versions the Sket Dance side of the crossover was released first. When I read the two chapters I personally enjoyed the Sket Dance chapter more. In the anime however, GinTama stole the thunder airing first. Especially when they ripped off the voice actor gag.firehawk12 said:

Mukrowl! Vongola Primo looked cool, Vongola Quarto with the fork, of all the weapons in the mix his is the worst. Everything feels slow paced but I still think its a nice attempt at bringing the manga to life.
