Geez, what happened to his head?
In Glass fleet's world, bulldog jowls are a fashion statement.
I'm always more worried about the cases themselves. I've ordered shows/movies where the things holding the dvds/blurays were totally broken, but the discs themselves were perfectly fine. It's only happened a few times, but never with stuff I got from Japan.

No hina is a travesty.
OP is good, but it feels so different from your typical hayate OP.

Don't make me take out the KircheisXReinhard fanart, wonzo.
It seems like it would at least be popular among adolescent fujoshi with no standards (read: half of deviantart).

Didn't you watch the post-credits scene? That character "everyone is waiting for" is most definitely her.
I looked around and actually didn't see very much at a glance. I think the commercials lied and it wasn't that popular after all.

Hina + masamune = best hayate comedy.
Could be athena

Episode had nice action and I have really no complaints for anything, excellent episode. A for effort.
Aria proved that she is the most awesome female character in the anime and went out fairly well. I loved how she took control of the situation from essentially start to finish this episode, doing things of her own volition and even with everyone else down stood her ground to retailiate against Mars. Perhaps it was because of this that when that bar was thrown and sent straight through her and all that blood came out that I realized it was a fatal hit and couldnt resist not tearing up. She had lots of moments throughout the anime and to be offed at just 27 episodes is tragic. 
I cant Aria has secrued her spot on the most memorable female characters of the year chart for me

So close to defeating Mars, I cant wait for him to be defeated, and Eden, Eden must defect immediately
This is the end you wanted.

God... how much budget does these episodes had? 1 dollar? Goddamit, totally underwhelming, when stills (them manga) can have more sense of impact than a real animation, there's something very wrong here... the best attack there was from Brook, and from Franky... everything else was underwhelming compared to the manga, specially Usopp and Sanji.
What a piece of shit. Derp faces everywhere too. Pacing, animation... everything is a fucking mess. Considering how popular this series is, you would think that they would put more money on the show... we get this instead.
I think I'm done with this. I can't watch it like I've watched before. At least I've got the best arc in animated form before this mess started to sink.
Ps.: Shirahoshi voice is worse than the voice of Satan.

4 minutes into Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and am groaning every couple seconds at the lame forced humor, this is Little Busters all over again. Anime-GAF, why have you forsaken me!?

Have you liked any shoujo before?
If Little busters is as fun as Tonari is then I really would like to watch Little busters.

I guess. Still, Hina is by far the most popular character, so she's definitely going to show up.

So I haven't mentioned this (since I've been too busy watching it) but I'm doing a re-watch of Revolutionary Girl Utena since it's been quite some time since I last saw it. I started yesterday and watched episodes 1-9. This morning starting around 8am I have been marathoning the hell of it, going from 10 to currently 31. I plan on finishing it up tonight and writing the longest impression I will ever do.
Note: And knowing me and what I do remember of it, there will be salt.

I have although once I got exposed to a larger number of them and became used to their tropes I probably am harsher on the newer ones I view. Lovely Complex was the first one I can remember seeing and I enjoyed it.
Edot: Haha, I was totally thinking of Deen when I saw that picture too.
Damn. Someone with worse attention than me! O:
On marathons: my longest was TTGL where I watched the entire series in one sitting. Never doing that again :s
Can take my eyes off you.
My Little Monster is nothing like any KEY anime ever, though.

Finally sat down and watched the whole thing. It looks good. I like the general aesthetic and the main character designs. Having just rewatched Sword of the Stranger today, there's some similarity between that film's art and the wintertime art here, and certainly the action choreography shows that Ando hasn't lost his touch since then. It sounds great. The voice actors are putting in a great effort, and Michiru Oshima's sweeping score is worthy of an epic. The whole atmosphere is right up my alley. I loved how the end of the episode transitioned into the OP, which is itself smartly planned and executed.
Still, I find it difficult to be drawn in. Even besides the preconceptions I have due to duckroll and dresden's criticisms of the manga, the writing already feels like it's toeing the line of becoming irredeemably pretentious nonsense. It's not that I had difficulty figuring out what was going on - at least until the end upped the craziness factor. Actually I can't understand why people found the timeskips/flashbacks confusing; everything seemed logically structured and connected to me. But the place where the story is at seems more suited to the middle of a narrative than the beginning. I mean, it's the first episode and already
. If you're going to have such seemingly big stakes, you need more time to prepare the characters and setting so I can understand and be invested in them. I just don't see how this story can develop in an acceptable way, and apparently it doesn't! I'll keep watching for now in hopes that Ando can salvage something from the manga's story, but I'm not going to expect that to happen.
