Tabuki was the last one I expected to actually want to do bad things to Himari, Kanba, and Shouma. Hope she can actually get out of the trouble or Kanba comes and saves her

AAHHHH that's the reason! Was on the tip of my tongue :X
too many boy toy shows this season as well. sigh.
Staplers, clearly.
Jormungand Perfect Order 01 (aka ep 13)
Was pretty much a recap episode on some of the important stuff that happened at the end of the first season. Aside from the recap they gave a clue as to what's going to happen next (show is going to focus on the CIA and Hex it seems). Started off kinda "meh" but the episode picked up towards the end after they got passed most of the recap stuff. I'm not going to bother critiquing the animation unless something pops up that's godawful, everything that was shown was fine in my book (looks the same as season one).
New opening isn't great but the new ending theme is hella good. Really looking forward to next weeks episode.
It's back!

Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
Well-directed, well-animated, good layouts, good art - everything you'd expect from a modern KyoAni production. (Still doesn't look as good as Hyouka, of course.) I really liked how it depicted Kyon's growing realization of how his world changed. There were a lot of nice character moments as well, such as Kyon encountering normal Haruhi, and everything with normal Nagato, who has to be the best character in the franchise. She didn't speak much, but all the attention paid to her expressions and movements really made her come alive. I really sympathized for her.
The pacing is kind of wack, though. The film as a whole is slow paced, but I was perfectly fine with that up until
. That felt like the climax, yet there was still an hour to go! From then on the story leaned heavily on the science-fiction side of the franchise, and ironically that's just not too interesting, with its jargon and whatnot. The method of resolution was convoluted - I suppose that comes with the territory of time travel, but still. Even more needlessly convoluted was the rich with visual metaphor inner decision monologue from Kyon. I like hearing Tomokazu Sugita's voice, but to hear him beat to death what was obvious from the start was a bit much. Was the script taken word-for-word from the novel? Because it sure felt like it. No concessions were made to structure it into something that worked as a film.
I did like it overall, but in the end it settles for pretty good film when it could have been great had its makers exercised a little restraint.

Can't help but think Kyon made the wrong choice.

The new OP Under/Shaft is not as good as Borderland for the first half of this franchise. THe new ED though is awesome (and its even animated) and the song is good. I also like how the anime has some new music tracks (one vocal track played during the episode, need to learn the lyrics).
Plotwise I like it already, the R, Hex, Undershaft plots are all interesting and hopefully all three serve as the focus point this season, S1 felt really unfocused and just various random exploits but if everything ties together for something big then that will be entertaining.
I was so glad they didnt ride that experience to its conclusion

was shocked that SHE was Hex
I was so glad they didnt ride that experience to its conclusion
Hex didnt need to throw off her shirt and let the man all into her like that just for information, and the awkward smile he formed. Not what I want in my anime
The scene between Hex and the merchant was pretty stupid. He goes from being terrified of her, to motorboating her, and then back to being terrified all within like, 30 seconds. It didn't feel like it played out right, the guy was practically shitting his pants when she walked in but then he's suddenly alright samplin somma dem sandbags.
It's that time again.
This scene always makes me so happy~
the one moment of catharsis in the horrible mess that is Haruhi.
at least one character got what she deserved.

KyoAni just felt guilty after the whole Endless Eight debacle and clearly thought it would be best to make the movie as long as possible to make up for all the time they had wasted!

What does this image even suggest?
Uh, cool that they finally decided to change up the episode title motions. First story wasn't bad as it was more about poor Hinata and her never ending quest of liking the wrong boy. Second story was meh.

Something happen next episode please, please let something happen in the next episode!! THE DAM PLOT ISN"T PROGRESSING!
Jojo's Gentleman Adventure
I already read the manga, but the show still managed to be pretty refreshing.
It is now okay for every other show to suck this season, screw wincest, doll joint, and panties;
I now too strive to be a true gentleman!
Are they really 12 years old? That's not how a 12 years old suppose to looks like, I know how Japan like to Loli-fy everything, but this is first time an anime de-loli-fy their character.

The irony.

Now that I actually have this movie and this scene makes sense, it still doesnt make it better
Kyon, you fucker.

Oh god why.
So I guess they've released an international trailer for the new Berserk films, which means we get some terrible English voiceover to go along with the terrible CGI.

I feel that's setting the bar extremely low and then applauding the show for clearing it. The reason that their relationship progresses so smoothly is because of the wish fulfilment element. While it's certainly true that many other shows do relationships badly there failures do not somehow excuse Sword Art Online.

After thinking long and hard, I finally realized who Haru in My Litter Monster reminds me so much of. It is none other than Morita from Honey and Clover. Haru is much more crass and violent, but I think there are many similarities in the characters - they're both weird, have strange (and somewhat unpleasant) ways of showing their affection, don't attend classes, born geniuses, extremely capable at anything they actually put their mind to, etc.
I'm glad I finally have this load off my chest. It was really bothering me but I couldn't put my finger on it! Whew.

I felt that overall the CG in the second film wasn't nearly as bad as the first. Part II as a whole was just a lot better period.

It's time!
This fucking show. I've never seen a cheaper piece of tv anime what with all the stills, terrible art, terrible animation, and conversations held without mouths moving. Everything in this episode makes the previous 14 seem like high art too. Shit happens but why? Who knows?? Who cares?! Gonzo sure as fuck didn't.

I figure the animation director died or something and they just went forward without in memory of him. Second screen is directly after the first and it's just so inconsistent.
Seriously.
High quality action scenes are the name of the game.
I'm not worthy of a second abridged nod to theater.
