Amazing battle. Mika showing everyone how it's done. But not without a big cost. I'm not sure what's more depressing, how crippled Mika is becoming or how he doesn't care that much. Atra is growing bolder. Julietta wants to get much better now that she's seen true power, and Macky has some new ambitions. Thankfully Iok is still around to provide some comic relief.

wow, nice to see I've covered most of 2016's good stuff (way better than the years before heh and if this list is anything to go by)

2015: I've only seen Death Parade which I did not like at least narrative-wise

2014: seen 3 out of 10 of them, Kaguya is one of the best things I've watched.

Atra with the master plan! Even if Mika dies before the end of the series she'll have something to remember him by.
Mika predictably doesn't care about being crippled.Getting all Zone of enders 2 on us.

Naze's seed of doubt is strong in Olga but that's a good thing, it did feel like a hasty decision.

I don't wanna be a pirate!

Anywho, save for one very silly line, this was a good episode. That final scene was dark...

Yeah, I've been calling this whole threesome subplot super vomit inducing for months now, it feels good to have my opinion validated now.

Yukina you poor and silly little girl. It's interesting that they don't shy away when it comes to Yukina's incompetence physically or mentally. This reminds me of Gunbuster's protagonist in many ways, Gunbuster had no obligation to retain her aside from her legacy(which isn't much of an obligation) but Yukina does have an obligation given the fact that the artifact does not activate without her and yet we have people insisting on ignoring the lack of her will to simply use her as a tool hah. Wouldn't Noriko from Gunbuster envy her at one point.

There's something about her father her mother is not talking about, there's something about this Alien race that we don't know about, I'm not keen on finding out but I just want to savor whatever I am shown in every episode. There's so much happening and it almost always does a compelling job at relaying that.

The one thing I don't understand is if her uncle knew Yukina came back and went to the valley with Kennousuke (even if it wasn't with him) why didn't he frigging inform her mother. That scene had me puzzled, I actually checked if I was watching the right episode (8th).

I honestly think Atra is more infatuated with Mika than anything. Deep inside however, she knows she doesn't stand a chance. Kudelia however seems to really have a thing for him.

Yukina's uncle has a very lackadaisical personality and was earlier shown to not treat Yukina's disappearance as a big deal. So it seems in character for him to not inform his sister about Yukina showing up.

Yea, that's what I assumed but I still feel he should've informed her knowing she was worried sick.

I forgot to watch 3gatsu and it's already too late in the night!!!

There's still Eupho to go, totally forgot about that finale. Not sure if they can make me change my opinion and disappointment with the last piece, but I'll give the show the benefit of the doubt. My AOTS standings will only come on Wednesday.

This show ended up being surprisingly good. Do not sleep on it. If you haven't watched it yet, you totally should.

Maybe y'all can help me out here. I'm perusing through Netflix/Prime trying to find something that's story-based (as opposed to action) and slice-of-lifey, but not like...high school dramas or whatever. I really dug Non Non Byori and while I'm not looking for a 1:1 of that, something similar in tone to that or some of the less fantastical Ghibli flicks (Only Yesterday, Whisper of the Heart, etc). Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Pokemon Sun and Moon Episode 1

Other than Ash being a bit more childish than I'd like, it was a great revamp. Characters look fluid in motion, writing was honestly better than X&Y's first episode and battles were a lot more dynamic and less shiny, if that makes sense. One thing kind of gave me pause while watching-- did anyone notice how touchy Mr.Mime was with his mom? Like...something going on or nah?

At the end of the OP the REC. light turns off instead of on like usual. Nice touch.

Heh, think the having the finale episode be a recap and how only a big series could get away with that with the chance of becoming legendary was a nod to Shirobako.

Enjoyable show

Anyone want to explain why the Transformers Movie and the Animatrix are on MAL but Thunderbolt Fantasy isn't

Yeah same , that scene was completely random and came out of nowhere in the last episode.

Ah she had this plan since season one. But since we are reaching a breaking point everyone in the show is accelerating their plans. Mika is gonna die sooner than later.

Both were made for the JP market as well, I think. It's why the Punisher/Black Widow anime isn't on there since it never had a JP release.

ok they added that finally

Bleagh. Well that was a lovely final episode. Enjoyed everyone saying their lines to wake Aigasaki up.

Enjoyable singing, Teika's VA is best when singing in english.

Please Kiss My Heart For Me is such a good song.

EASILY the best episode this series has ever delivered. Goddamn. It had me on the edge of my seat. Also after this week's ending, I think it's pretty clear what kind of fate awaits Mika.
