Ito's direction for Silver Spoon was solid. Season 1 Episode 10, which he storyboarded and directed, is really good. Although Kotomi Deai's second season was stronger.
The most fascinating thing about this is that Shinbo is credited for the storyboard, which means this'll be his first storyboard since 2008, and the first under his own name since 2001.

That's literally the worst arc, by quite a margin. After that it goes to heights unimaginable. Keep it going. You will not regret it.
I'll probably never watch Hunter x Hunter. Too long, don't have enough time for it.
I'll just keep watching Fairy Tail.
I'm sure it's just as good, if not better.
You are a terrible person and you should feel bad.
Now if you were 'reading' Fairy Tail I could understand it. But the anime, great gods man.

Finally things happened. Lancelot is still the best part of the fights. Guren Mk-2 was shit compared to it. Also, I can't wait for Lelouch to find out Suzaku is the pilot of it.
Also, I hope Orange will get eye powers now that he apparently lost his eye. I love his character a lot.

That's encouraging to hear. I'll blame SAO on the source material then. Despite my deep love for Kajiura, I couldn't stomach SAO. The wait for a new Kajiura composed show has been a long one. Please be good.
I'll get back to it at some point I think I'm just all Shonen'd out right now. I still need to watch Yu Yu Hakusho as well, I've always heard good things about that and at least it's actually finished.
I missed this part while reading. This definitely will be interesting to watch!

That's....that's weird.
Stop being weird.
I read and watch it.
I can't wait for the new movie!
Now don't be sour.
I'm sure the Hunter X Hunter anime will come back.
As sure as Berserk won't go on a long break again.
Seeing these random nipples in Code Geass always reminds me that something like this somehow doesn't happen anymore. Shows either are full ecchi and borderline hentai, "light" ecchi, where you just don't see any nipples but still get like all those other ecchi tropes or they contain none at all. I mean, stuff like that was rare to begin with, but I think just a few years ago showing bare and uncensored breasts in a serious show where it made sense (well, mostly at least) wasn't as "evil" as it seems to be nowadays, with all this BluRay uncensoring. I am talking about shows like Shuffle!, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien or Samuai Champloo (well, 1 episode, but still).
Then again, I don't know if they actually aired like this in Japan. Maybe I am totally wrong and they were censored even back then.

Homura did nothing right. I gladly await her comeuppance in whatever sequel show/movie/whatever that is being planned.
This looks pretty interesting. What is this and should I get hype?

Found a good recap of the serious Gintama arcs in order to get ready for next week. Spoilers abound obviously. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2015-11-25/a-quick-easy-guide-to-the-gintama-drama/.95789

What did that stupid, racist girl with the glasses do to the table with Euphie's pictures....!? I thought CC was bad, but this one is by far the worst character. Shit tier. No, something worse than shit tier.
Anyway........ Rest of the episode was good. Shirley has really grown on me, I just hope that she won't turn against Lulu.

Shomin ep8's still okay, even though I don't like the girl with the sword and her interaction with the MC all that much.
It's a really good thing Hakua got the worst match with him out of all the girls according to that random fortune-telling mobile app, because her character as a whole is all kinds of wrong. I guess I'd accept substituting her for a haughty ojou-sama with the trademark laugh, if only because I'd rather have that than loli fanservice (even though it luckily isn't nearly as bad as in NGNL).

Hype for the next episode is through the roof.
Up to EP 15 there were already 2 scenes, even if one only consisted of a few frames (Kallen's shower in EP 3 or 4 o what it was).
I'll probably catch up this weekend and join you guys in the waiting hell, lol.
Was way too busy with college the last two weeks and I also need to finish Zestiria before Lightning Returns hits Steam on the 10th.

The last part of the Chimera Arc is something everyone needs to watch.

He still cant go even five minutes without smoking, and isnt this still 36 or so hours? It cant be that stressful of a situation.
Good discussion, Finish, Future, what is F.

It's a TV show airing in the noitamina timeslot during the winter season. It's an adaptation of an ongoing manga by Kei Sanbe which has 6 volumes so far. (The manga is also getting a live-action film adaptation.) The premise is described as follows:
The anime is directed by Tomohiko Ito (Silver Spoon, Sword Art Online) at A-1 Pictures. Taku Kishimoto (Silver Spoon, Bunny Drop) is writing and Keigo Sasaki (Blue Exorcist, Seven Deadly Sins) is doing the animation character designs.
Seems promising to me.
I actually like the reusing. They change the opening a bit when the story progresses. They did that at around EP 8 or 9 for the first time I think, then with the second OP and at EP 17 or 18 they do it again. I actually do like this, a changing opening to show the story progression.
Oh, yeah, just finished EP 18. This fucking show.

Perfect Insider Episode 8
It's still disappointing.
75% of the episode didn't advance really the plot, like the previous two. You can notice they are stretching the story out a bit to reach the 12? episodes.
The main character went around during all the episode with a Lum costume.
And there was a hilarious dream sequence which I suppose it was inspired by Twin Peaks. It featured ostriches. Ostriches!
I also started Gundam IBO and as I supposed, it's overrated.

it's super neat. it's also by ufotable
I'l be honest outside of Fate and Kara no Kyoukai I had no idea they even did other series. I'm baffled that they worked on Coyote Ragtime Show.
Still surprised that Yoyo and Nene hasn't seen an English release. I saw it during Scotland Loves Anime with my girlfriend and we both really enjoyed it. Seems like the kind of thing Anime Limited would happily do an expensive "ultimate edition" blu ray for.

One thing I've noticed is that I can't stop comparing Lelouch and Light Yagami. The thing is, that Light is actually cold, calculating and ready for everything. Even at the start of Death Note, he was like that. Lelouch just tries to be that but so far I feel he fails. He seemed the super calculating type of person, but many people have outsmarten him and he has made several mistakes. Also, while he seems to be cold and to not care about consequences, the whole Shirley thing hit him hard, and in any case his objective is personal and entirely emotional. I think it's actually wrong to compare them, but I feel the writers intended to make a similar character, yet they failed. I guess I shouldn't say such things so early though, as there are still quite a lot of episodes left, but this is my initial impression of him.
I really like they warped up the whole thing with Shirley so quickly. I feel other shows would drag the drama for so many episodes. BUT NOT LIKE THIS. I'm sad. So I guess Shirley's practically gone. Just when she has become an interesting character. Also, Mao kinda sucks. He's certainly the annoying type of villain.

I've definitely noticed that comparison too.
I honestly like Lelouch better though. Because while Light was certainly good at coming off as menacing and calculating, how much of his performance do you remember outside of his Kira laughs?
With Lelouch, I remember so much of his performance. The poses, the speeches, the way he has such a flair for the dramatic, etc.
The comparison between Light and Lelouch I'd say is like the comparison between Super Robots and Real Robots.
Real robots put an emphasis on realism and a heavy focus on the mecha aspect to keep the robots grounded in reality (to an extent, anyway).
Super robots are all about the spectacle and are constantly doing over-the-top things. And I'm a huge super robot fan.
But that's just the way I see it.
Maybe now that the manga is finished they could go back to it? it's doubtful but stranger things have happened.

Yuri Seijin Naoko-san is Tetsuya Takeuchi's pet project, and he's busy elsewhere. Plus ufotable did not have much success with the Anime Bunko project that the 2012 OVA was part of, so they'll probably stick to the current franchises they're attached to (Fate, God Eater, Tales) unless somebody willing to bankroll someone else comes along.

Light cared for his sister, dad, Mikami, and L.
I always chuckle when people suggest Lelouch is a genius or even remotely close to the level of Light.
How many of his plans actually work? He never takes Suzuka and the Lancelot into consideration despite being stopped by it numerous times. His best plan is usually "fuck I hope Kallen can beat this guy."

That's cool his name led me to this video which was interesting

I haven't really delved into the background of the industry so these videos are illuminating to say the least.

Straight into season 2 if I recall. Don't think the OVA is even finished yet but afaik it's sets between season 1 and 2 in n a different part of the world. I only watched the first episode before abandoning ship though so I'm probably off base.

Lelouch's keikakus beat the shit out of Lights in R2
Most of his plans worked.
That just not true.
For instance the time when the 4 holy swords almost killed Suzaku, because lelouch figured out a way to defeat him in battle..
Lights plan=rid the world of evil by being mega evil himself. Yes it kinda dumb/misguided but at least its clear.
Lelouch=By R2 I had no idea what his overall goal was anymore.
Live a peaceful life with Nunally? Kill the empereor? Rule britannia?
And really think about it, I know he turns himself into a figure of everyone's hate but why would that solve any of the social or racist issues in the show? Lelouch's sacrifice, at least to me, is pointless since once hes gone peoples previous hatred of each other isn't gonna dissapear. Wouldn't both sides just find new reasons to keep fighting.
