Yuri on Ice 12
This ending did feel a little rushed, but it was still enjoyable. Yurio got the best performance and imo was a better character then the MC duo. While YOI wasn't anything special, it was still an overall enjoyable experience.
If there is a Yuri on Ice season 2, it better be about duo skating. I wanna see a Yuri/Yurio combo just like in the OP.
---------------------------
8 hours in FFXV and so far this is freaking amazing!

Kuromukuro 9 (Rewatch)
A powerful example of how the Internet and social media warps minds.

The Great Passage aka Kai-chan - Episode 10
Finally the eyecatch gag and the actual show's narrative have fused into one and the same. Hope the final episode is told from the perspective of Kai-chan as he finds success as a stupid ass merchandising mascot.
I can't believe it has been 13 years and Majime doesn't have a kid. Is he firing blanks?
I really hated the flashbacks used in this episode to show Majime's comparison of "then" and "now" because again it reminds me how shallow and lazy the time skip was. By presenting it the way they did, it suggests that the only worthwhile memories Majime had of the past were of the few months or so depicted in the earlier part of the series. It's really insulting to the concept of a decade long work. Why not show a more gradual and meaningful series of memories over the years? Were the 13 years they skipped literally worthless and devoid of any importance in their work or lives? What a disgrace in narrative direction. *vomit*

It's true. It's why Miss Bernard said. is so popular here.
I forgot that now that Jexhius has a mal we may compare his achievements against our own.

I'll just get there naturally by seasons
if that was my goal i would cheat by watching short series or ova or movies
Rather once you're there, you're liberated to do whatever.

Nope, 4.44 here. Will probably go through my list to see if there are any series overall I was to harsh on (or to nice with) and adjust some scores after this season ends. But the biggest shift I can see this adjustment causing is up to 4.5...

Worst Okada show in the Year of Okada.

Cool. Now everyone can join me in recognising that it's not actually a very good series and was only hyped up by the unreliable denizens of /m/.

Look at how poorly I have spent my time!
Oh shit, if we consider what Yamada said about
him working 8 part-time jobs, then I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.
And damn, that chinese version was indeed better. It's way better without the phoned-in multiverse joke the japanese version has. And yeah, dat OST :O
Now I feel kind of let down.
Man, I'm so close to rewatching the whole thing because this ending changed the context of probably nearly every scene.

Majime is too pure for sex!
But yeh it's disappointing that there seemingly hasn't happened that much in 14 years, dictionary progress aside. Majime even got a similar cat again! It feels like there could be done more, at least with scenes involving Kaguya. For instance they could hint at why they don't have any kids (both too busy I assume?).
Also, I wonder if Nishioka married Miyoshi or someone else. And does he have kids? Argh, gimme all that Nishioka info!
They completely botch the second half, basically any time it's a group is great but the actual mystery of the town is garbage.

Brave Witches 11
It was nice to see the regular army actually play an effective role in battle rather than just kinda being there as cannon fodder. I see where Hikari gets her badass from, their whole family has pure badass running in their veins. Takami: "The cannon is broken? LET'S JUST PICK UP THE GIANT BULLET AND THROW IT AT IT."

The reactions of people realizing the content of Made In Abyss are quite funny.

I don't get it, is there something unusual about the video gamey premise?

I wish it had more of a fandom. I need more speedstar.
How can you make the magnificent car chase scene on Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro (by Kazuhide Tomonaga & Co.) even better? With a '4D' cinema:

As expected, it seems like the highlight of the presentation! If those seats can simulate even a fraction of the crazy movement on display in those film's cuts it must be so cool.

Although they were ashamed at first to have created such golden standard... ;-D
Number one on my "why did I finish this show" list.
When I was looking back at what I watched this year I realised I watched a lot of garbage like that and Big Order.
No wonder I've dwindled down to just four shows this season.
I think I'm going to go back to how I used to watch shows. Being lttp on everything.

The world wasn't ready for Araragi's perfect body.
Does Coca Cola give Araragi abs?
Child experimentation/torture, it seems.
The 4chan thread seems to be making it out to be absolutely horrific and grim dark. I suppose I am jaded, but none of what is shown in the scans people are posting seems that bad; Indiana Jones, for instance, is a hugely popular family friendly adventure franchise that also features flesh melting and hearts being ripped out of people's chests, so I'm not that concerned.
One comment made me smile about how few "light adventure" anime get made these days, saying that it wasn't since Last Exile they'd seen such a thing. Leaving aside that Last Exile got a sequel that was almost universally ignored, that's not exactly how I remember Last Exile playing out...

Naruto Shippuden: Season 17 Episode 487 Naruto Shippuden, Sasukes Story: Sunrise, Part 4: The Ketsuryugan
Could have had more Sasuke, but once again the ninja world treats those who can help others badly once they leave
Sad backstory.
Could have had more Sasuke, but once again the ninja world treats those who can help others badly once they leave
Sad backstory.From what I could glean, the 'dark' and gross part of the plot is
There's an underground cult that captures little kids, rips all their limbs off and stuffs them inside a backpack-sized cartridge that they use while travelling the abyss in order to circumvent some sort of 'curse' that is basically mutated decompression sickness
I also feel like cheesy 80s effects somehow have a lesser impact for this kind of stuff than drawings which retain the same 'tier' of reality as the rest of the content, but that might just be me
Cause it's retreading old ground. It's super well animated, yeah, but also the entire episode was just them doing the same scenarios that were already done better in previous episodes. Doesn't help that the plot it suddenly started having a couple of episodes ago is terrible.

quiet squall is such a good song, Annabel should write more songs. Bloodivores had one of the best ED songs of the season.
