I know, I'm a huge fan of Guilty Gear, that's why I never could get into BlazBlue, it never felt as good.

Log Horizon Episode 2 The Battle of Loka
Would probably be more exciting if it were just plain more intense and as actiony as the name Debauchery Tea Party would imply. I think it goes into details way too much and stays there too often that it becomes kind of a drag at times.

Implying that post-witch Mio x Hijikate isn't that most adorable pairing in SW.

AND SUDDENLY EVERYTHING MADE SENSE.
Whew, that was a really good episode. The series is still showing events in a fairly twisty-turny sort of fashion, jumping back and forth so as to not explicitly spell out how everything is connected, but thanks to the "origin story" this episode provided, almost all the dots seem to finally have linked together into something coherent and satisfying. (And what a sweet origin story it was!)
This show is great stuff you guys.

Motto! Ojamajo Doremi 14
So it's Momoko's birthday, but she made only 4 invitations... but Doremi's ends up falling on Tamaki's chair. Not sure why Momoko didn't make one for her considering what she did to make Tamaki less of an asshole, but then again, you hardly ever see her, so I'm not surprised if that was her reason for forgetting. But man, you can tell this would go down rather badly... nevermind the formula of an episode, but it's with "improved" Tamaki. Where can it go wrong?
Ooooh maan... Oooooooh maaaan. You fucked up badly. And clearly she regrets it, even moreso after seeing that video letter from Beth. So the preview basically gave us an idea on what the solution would be, and it was the strangest thing I've ever seen here. But on the other hand, she was willing to fix what she messed up, but still depressed since she wasn't sure if it was enough.
But it was.

Ah, okay, so it was its horrible attitude toward women, then. I figured that was it. That part where the android is begging the dude to shoot hot bullets in her was no doubt the worst, but the lady dry humping the cyborg was probably the all time low.
It's sort of a cumulative process now. I finish a show, I stick it on there. Unless it's a long runner, then I decide at 25 episodes, and adjust when I finish the show. I have it saved in a word file on my computer, so I just crack that open and jot down the new shows I finish. I also have my backlog in another word file.
Somebody gonna take advantage of you.
Also Jex, I really do need to see Getter. Once I finish Victory, Zegapain and Dual, I'm gonna sit down and watch Getter, Mazinger, and Macross. I might rewatch Zeta, too, but in Japanese, to see if I cannot improve my opinion of it.

galilei donna - 01
It's okay. Good, clean designs - always liked Adachi's work - appealing work across the board on the production side. Kinda dull otherwise, though. The focus on the youngest girl as the heroine surprised me. A downer in that I was hoping the older two girls would get more attention, but they have clearly defined gimmicks with very little chance of taking the show over.
Some unnecessarily pervy stuff in both the OP and ED. You're supposed to wear something under your overalls.

Seriously everyone needs to watch this anime. AT ALL COST!
Now I'm sad they never did a second OVA to continue this...
I'm not crying it's just raining is all. Yeah just a lot of rain.

Ginrei-saaaaaaaan. Not to mention the rain of arrows and the battle in the field of arrows. That was just badass.

Nadeko's ability to deflect blame from herself and play the victim for sympathy is so strong she's been doing it in her story to the readers and herself from the start.
Crab shows up at the 11th hour and masterfully reasserts herself as best girl just as Shinobu was encroaching. I knew she wouldn't let me down.

It might just be because I'd only previously read Ducky's comments on the movie, lowering my expectations, but I though Fuse was pretty OK. Director was a good laugh, though I can't remember anything from the QA specifically worth reiterating.
Patema Inverted next. I'm sure you're all jealous, though I have to admit I've still yet to find time to watch Time of Eve (at this point, I'm just going to wait for the movie kickstarter BD to turn up, methinks)

There was Takamura's past, then Champion Road, then that Mashiba fight. Then New Challenger.
I see. I'm skimming those and got confused because Kimura fight first at the manga.

Log Horizon 02
This show continues to be very enjoyable. All three main characters so far are great, and the protagonist is a strategist mage which makes it awesome as usually the strategist is a side character.
This'll be another of the anime I'll end up really enjoying this season. Animation and character design may be uninspired but the rest is golden so far.

I think the biggest problem with Galilei Donna is that the characters aren't good. I have no problem with cute girls, but when they feel artificially constructed for appeal - characters defined by gimmicks instead of personalities - then it becomes difficult to have any serious investment in them and their activities. It's the same problem I had with Idolmaster. Even the youngest sister is rather one-note - I like the idea of a genius inventor girl, but she simply doesn't have a strong enough presence to be able to carry an adventure show. As good as the production values are, they aren't enough to obscure how flat the core of the show is. Perhaps that's the best Umetsu can do when he can't rely on sexual violence for characterization.
I need to remember to check out this series sometime. I've always had a bit of fondness for this setting, probably cause .hack was one of the first game series I really got into.

Picked up more anime on this cloudy day and UtaPri/Valvrave goods was delivered. Good day. Ittoki Otoya was set up immediately.

And like "gamers stuck in a game" anime from back in the days, this one also doesn't really bother explaining why they're stuck. SAO tried their best and I applaud them for it, heck the first story arc was fantastic, but then they recycled the idea over and over again (FOR YOUR COUNTRY KIRITO-KUN!)
Like I said the change in protagonist class does wonders for this to feel refreshed. It's by no means amazing but like others have mentioned, it's like an enjoyable cartoon you watch saturday morning and then go on with the rest of your day.
I think this is right, describing Log Horizon.

Hey say what you will but the first SAO arc was enjoyable enough to bring in a huge fanbase. Which admittedly a big percentage of got lowered once the second one started.
I'm hoping it'll get better on that regard, because it reminds me of ROD TV and my affection for it, although the comparison doesn't do much else in the way of favors for Donna.
The Big O 3
Big O! Big O! Savior of the universe!
wait
So now we we have our femme fatale character who always makes things worse for everyone. Archetypes complete. This was a good episode, although I would've liked if Roger spent a little more time with the old man so he and the monster got a bit more development.
Really like the style and character of this show. I especially like the interaction between Roger and Dorothy, so I hope she comes out with him on more missions so we get more of that.

Still enjoyable. Even the info dump was pretty nice since it was pretty nice to know more about this world and hell, I wouldn't mind playing this since they made it sound pretty interesting.

Valvrave the Liberator 3-13
Yep I marathoned this, and all I have to say is yeah, this show can do whatever it wants. I'll just go with it. It manages to be pretty well directed, scored, and paced in spite of its wackiness, I think that what I appreciate the most from this show. I mean I like how the solid production helps the viewer ignore all the stupid, but I wish that anime would dial it down a notch.

Samurai Flamenco 1
That was really, really fun.
I wasn't expecting all that much from this show (in fact, I went into it thinking it might be a good candidate for dropping), but I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a first episode this season outside of Kill la Kill which has made me grin so much from start to finish.
The buddy duo of a down-to-earth realist and a fanciful dreamer isn't exactly a new idea, but it's just pulled off here really well with lots of personality. Masayoshi's heroic ambitions are both highly amusing and also legitimately cool and inspiring, because the earnest passion with which he espouses and pursues his ideals is just so infectious. It was really satisfying near the end of the episode when
.
And of course Sugita does a great job as the straight man of the duo; Sugita characters are always difficult not to like, and Gotou seems no exception. (Even if he is a smoker. Blech.) He functions effectively as the viewer stand-in, laughing and sighing at Masayoshi's mad ideas and calling him out on them, while at the same time finding it hard not to admire the sheer heart and passion behind them. He feels very...I dunno, human and believable.
Also the OP and ED are both pretty nice. Definitely among the better ones this season (not that that's saying much).

Fun arc. cool they involve modern stuff like tablets in the crime even though getting to that resolution was iffy.
Also best ending.

One of the greatest debates of all time is which female love interest Roger prefers.
Is this what I should write an analysis on when I finish the show?
No. By the end of the second season your topic of analysis will be more than abundantly clear.
Well, it is written by Chiaki Konaka. Now what was that about produce?

Kuroko's Basketball 2 Episode 27 At the Winter Cup
Kuroko is amazing and I like how they did the eyes
. Anyway, each episode just really makes me want to see Akashi get screentime and play, he sounds like epic incarnate and easily like my favorite character embodying every trait a rival ought to have, I hope he delivers (does he?).
They could tone down the bewbies stuff though, it feels out of place in this anime
.

for whatever this new drive will be, vanishing invisible like the ball for Himuro did in the game

kind of decreased a bit of the seriousness of Aomine's situation and elbow
The most nutritious show in anime. This and Geass almost got me a tag. Sadly, it was not to be.
Well, people tell me I need to eat more vegetables...
This is exactly what I expected: An MMO-Anime focused on the theme of being in an MMO., andI had a feeling there were no really big consequences regarding deathwill lead to a lot of good battles. This second episode feels more like a compliment to the intro where they introduce the viewer to the mechanics, compared to SAO where they constantly blazed through a lot of mechs for the sake of "story."the idea of the Player Killers being the real threat (for now)
I'm really loving this. The battles are immensely satisfying even though it's basic introductory stuff. The trio cast has the right amount of chemistry when communicating so it doesnt feel like forced on slapstick/fanservice.
I think Shiroe is a very cool protagonist. He's an extremely stoic, and kind of 'blunt/to the point' person a good 80% of the show.
Shame the music doesn't develop anymore other than the OP of the show. (Which is pretty much summing up what you get from the show.)
I can't call it a guilty pleasure because...well, I genuinely enjoy it!
Akatsukiiiii <3

Well the anime is covering Calamity Trigger, right? Calamity Trigger's plot is so fucking stupid.
Akatsuki as with all mopheads is pretty adorable.There arent enough mopheads in anime. Shameful.
Im pretty sure I see Lina Inverse, Chidori, and Tohka. Not sure of who else.

Well I have Pokemon Y, so my post rate will be lower than it already is most likely.
Not a pleasant experience though. Got the poster and timeline (despite not preordering both), and yet my cousin got the shaft here. Even asked for her number and not a card, despite asking me for my card. No preorder goodies either. He wasn't doing his job well.

Like the dialog between all the competitors. Murasakibara stands out obviously. Also get out first taste of basketball and you can tell Himuro is going to be a problem for Kagami.

Also we finally get the debut of Kuroko's new technique.
