Shit. You might be unto something. I'm glad it's a 24 episode anime vs a 12. Cause if not we'd almost be halfway done.
Valvrave 15
Hmm, there was something with the character art in this episode. The close-ups were all clean and well-defined, with spare tasteful linework for facial features and solid expressions. But the mid and long shots all featured the same typical SD faces, to an almost bothersome degree considering how many there were and how ubiquitous this was. The animation was scarce but correct, with the nice smeary gunfight between L-elf and the dorssians being the highlight. But the layouts were a bit inconsistent in quality, some being up to the level of the show and others feeling a bit weak and misplaced.
In the end, the episode looked mostly good though. Better than some of the late S1 episodes for sure, and I'd say better than the previous one (bar the CG action which I always find hard to remember after the fact).
.... but why would anyone care about all this? that ending man, ERUERUFUUUUUUUUUUUU

It really got me because
I was already expecting L-Elf to exterminate Marie, so it came as a given. And then she starts standing up and it was like OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Hats off, really.
Kill La Kill Episode 04
Awful animation. No Satsuki. Filler. Terrible episode.
Kyousougiga Episode 03
Man this and KLK are just consistently neck and neck with each other when it comes to my favorite show of the season.
Pretty nice to see some of the spotlight on Kurama who before I never really cared for but this episode kinda made me appreciate him a bit more. The scenes with him and Myoue were pretty touching.
Also, Shoko owns. Having some actual context made the scenes with her searching for the controller even more enjoyable.
Valvrave Episodes 14-15
Ohhhhh godddddddddd Valvrave's crazy ride never stops!!!
Golden Time Episodes 4-5
Yeah this show (and even Koko herself) is growing on me. Things seem to be moving surprisingly fast here which I can't say is a bad thing. As far as currently airing romantic slife-of-life shows go, I think White Album 2 has the edge but we'll see how long both of these shows can sustain their quality.
Kyoukai no Kanata Episode 04
This show is so much more entertaining when you try not to hold it against any kind of high "standards" and just accept how dumb the writing is. As a result I've been finding this show (and this episode included) pretty entertaining.

I'm still thinking...
she dumped him and he then tried to kill himself on the bridge
Calling it now:
Banri has some sort of knowledge that could save the world from the evil shadow government Linda is a member of. Halfway through the series becomes a thriller. Also Koko is a robot from the future.

Same, I was actually starting to wonder if
Marie was perhaps the original pilot of the first Valvrave, obviously her being confirmed to be a kamutski doesn't confirm or deny that

The first two episodes left me a little cold but this one something clicked for me. This show is dumb but its the kind of dumb I can get behind. The earnestness behind the characters is endearing and the chemistry between everyone makes it consistently entertaining.

Valvrave the Liberator ep 15
My god, 2 twists out of nowhere is so dialled in. It's like a mecha soap opera.
You say it like its a bad thing. I eagerly await L-Elf's identical twin brother. Also is it just me or does it almost feel like this is School Days in space? Haruto is Makoto, Ruki is Sekai, Shoko is Katsura, and Marianne is SAURON, LORD OF EVIL.

My only other explanation is
Linda already understands Tada's desire to establish his new self and doesn't want to try to influence this new start with his old life.
This could be very possible.
That brother better have a goatee. If not, it's gonna get fucking dropped, ya hear me? Oh and that future kid/prince/whatever is totally
L-Elf's kid
some on is gonna die in a body jack and Akira's brother takes over for them
Akira's brother is immortal in the flashforward too.

And so Fuko's arc ends, starfish forever!
Best girl Fuko is gone and everyone forgets her? Bleh. The wedding scene could've been executed better if the song played was different; the english lyrics were sudden and felt out of place in that moment. It was sad/bittersweet but the song kind of ruined it slightly imo.

After Story has the issue where the ED is really upbeat. So after a heartbreaking scene all of a sudden you get this happy ass song that kills the mood.
Kira isn't in this show, though.
The brother has a goatee that is only visible when creeping on Shoko.
That's not the only aspect of it that will be illegal in some states! Also, Kouki-kun's mom is so good.

I like this show. I gotta give it to the kid: his personal hero starts pretending to be Samurai Flamenco and he had the guts to confront him and tell him to stop. And the dude seemed to appreciate what he did as well.
I'm wondering when Mari and those other idol girls are going to get more involved, and it does seem a matter of "when" not "if" at this point.. She seemed curious to see if he was Samurai Flamenco. And she's a Red Axe nerd like he is.

Good lord, even a filler episode was good in this show. This shit was hilarious.
Man this show has been on a roll lately. Despite it tripping ever so slightly with the CG last episode, it's been a ride so far. Can't wait to see where it goes.

though that one episode where it transitions smoothly is really neat and well placed.

The reversal of the "It's sweat!" line was great.

The meeting with Rin's mother was interesting. She was very cold, but she did seem to actually care for Rin. It sucks, but it probably was the best choice to leave (aside from giving her up for adoption or somesuch), she doesn't seem capable of raising a kid at all.

This is the greatest anime ever made.
Okay, so that was a lot more than a couple of hours. Super late to everything. Quick impressions, then time to go catch up on five pages worth of posts.

Samurai Flamenco ep.3
Now the show's starting to get fun,
. Looking forward to more antics next week.
Galilei Donna ep.3
There's just something about this show that makes it constantly feel depressing, though maybe it was just the plot being discussed in the current episodes.
Golden Time ep.4
I'm surprised
Kill la Kill ep.4
I'm sorry. This just isn't my kind of humor at all. Next episode looks interesting though.

Kozuki having a near-mental breakdown over their current situation might be more realistic, I suppose, but it's not terribly fun to watch. Maybe now that they're going to start the hunt it might get interesting.
Golden Time ep.4
I'm surprised
they actually dealt with Koko's obsession that quickly. Of course now we have a not-entirely-unexpected twist that Banri previously knew one of the girls he just recently "met".

Good to hear. My favorite scene in that whole show has to be this. It's from the OVA but my god I laughed too hard the first time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX9JcudDuJc&feature=player_detailpage#t=65
I also see you're named after Gintama. I can tell we'll get along
I haven't seen the OVA yet (I'll give it a look though), but I remember a scene just like that but it involved Eu and Ayumu in a cube and bamboo sticks shooting from the floor.
The comedy in this show was so good because it's like they didn't care for limits within the comedy.

I don't know if they've dealt with her obsession entirely. Next episode preview, unless was a flashback,
seems to show her still obsessed with whats his face.

First half: I swear to god. Every time Grizzly is on the scene, the Bro-ness and Love shoots up to intense levels, and this time between a penguin and a grizzly! It's like... BEAMING in my face, so much DTL with it was with animals instead. You'd think Sasako would be on these trips more though.;
Second Half: That poor high school girl. I can understand why Rintarou doesn't have a girlfriend though. Even I felt annoyed by him that I was pausing here and there to soak it in without going nuts. I wonder if she'll ever appear again. Despite being plain, she didn't look too bad. But eh, where are you going to slot her in again?
Feels nice to watch something relaxing. Having no breaks on Pokemon is a bit taxing on the soul.

I'm not sure how I feel about Koko. I can see why Mitsuo hates her. She was a true bitch in that scene with Chinami, but she realized it as soon as it was over, so at least she's trying to get better. Also
called the whole Linda bit. Wonder where they're going to go with that.

Ehhhhhh. The plot is kinda interesting though kinda obvious thanks to that whole segment at the start of this episode.

Clearly the standards for scary stuff is varying and not a standard. I guess humans are better though.
Llama for cockblocker 2012-2016. Actually standards in general were misplaced, but THATS how it is with these crazy animals.

Yeah I think that was the first time that I really started to hear some of the complaints about the writing in the show but I'm rationalizing it in my head as a nickname that shows the bond of friendship between the two! If that's the case then it was absolutely appropriate to say that line at that time! Ha!
As for where they'll take the show from here, my guess is we'll finally see her

Gosick had some good parts and some bad parts, but I thought it was alright overall... but then about 2/3rds of the way through there was an episode that was so unpleasant and bad that I just could not continue anymore. I will hate that episode forever, I think...
Never, not until it's officially cancelled, don't give up hope... even if there isn't much of any left, a miracle could happen and it could actually get made, you never know...
Looks very nice... I remember thinking that Lodoss was okay but nothing great (average fantasy story, nothing more), but it does look like a nicely improved version of it visually at least.
While that is probably true, at least Tokyo Ravens has a setup which partially explains away Harutora's continuing denseness... though I don't think that'll get introduced in the anime until next episode? But yeah, he did show even in ep. 1 how dense he is, that is true. But still, at least in that series they have a bit of an excuse for some of it, while IS has not just nothing, but pretty much the opposite end of things, scenario-wise. And that's why Ichika would win that competition -- despite facing so much more harem antics, he still doesn't get it at all. But sure, Harutora's in the running.
I thought Kill Me Baby sold badly... but just well enough to get an OVA, I guess! I'll probably watch this, the show was moderately amusing.

Hope we get more Chinami episodes soon! Her expressions were great when confronted with Koko.

so far concerning Koko despite her childlike personality (resulting in unstoppable sassy/bitch mode) and unable to date her. The Linda bit was surprising even with the predictions I saw, didn't actually think she was someone from Banri's past.

I don't know who Kintaro's English VA is, but he's my hero.
I liked this one the most so far. The whole scene at the horse track completely cracked me up. Also much more toned down in ecchi stuff compared to the last two, although I assume that won't stay the case.
Golden Boy 4
"So. How do you like my swimming?"
This one was also a lot of fun. The first swimming scene and the bit where the instructor is yelling at him and he repeats it and then, when she asks if he agrees with what she said, he responds with a passionate "Not a word of it!" were the best bits for me.
