I guess it's a good sign when I can't decide which of the girls I like more. I was surprised how much this episode was pushing Tomou though.

Oh good. I'll start it up now I can watch without fear of disenchantment.
That scene stuck in my mind because a friend I used to play MMOs with always used "Fumoffu" as his character name and people would regularly shout "pony pony" at him when passing by. It never really got old either.

Great episode. Combat was enjoyable and the explanations were quick and easy to understand.

Shirou miscalling Demikas's name on purpose was hilarious yet I was a bit disappointed on Serara's lack of presence on the fight. What I mean was that I had this feeling Shirou's enchanter class had an ability to 'stack' an ally's spellcasts then with enough stacks would deal tons of damage. Goes to show I play video games too much, oh well still a great episode nonetheless.
They dumped* Toki wo Koete for the English version? BIG MISTAKE.
chihayafuru 2 ova
Chihayafuru's one dimensional characters sit in an empty room, flexing off their single trait a few times as they spend twenty minutes of this OVA's run time deciding whether or not they want to do a play. The last twenty seconds are the play itself, a flat and crudely drawn punchline.

I think Tomou is best girl so I don't mind. There are plenty of shows where the character is interested on the sweet girl. Also plenty where he ends up with a tsundere.
Shows where he ends up with the serious yet playful and confident 'big sister type' are very few. Plus she has a cute side, like with the restroom scene. Plus she only gets this playful with the protagonist and is very bold.

Lupin III VS Detective Conan (Movie)
I saw this movie while randomly scrolling Youtube for Lupin, so I watched it. Not that bad of a movie, I haven't seen Detective Conan or Lupin in a long time. So it was quite the refresher to remember what they're both like. I thought the movie focused a little too much on Conan, but overall it was enough Lupin screen time to satisfy me.
It was like a normal episode of Conan but with Lupin in the mix, so I don't have much to say about the movie. I enjoyed it!
I swear I'll never be able to tell when it's Lupin in disguise or the real person. He's good.

Visual novels mixed with tactical space stuff.
Games were divided into 2 types of gameplay ..
-the classic visual novel stuff ( you have free time on the vessel and you can choose many place to go , sometimes there is a girl there and you can talk to her ( or them ) , by doing so you can raise affection and trust .There are also mandatory events that are dictated by the story. At the 2/3 of each game there is a big event were you have to choose 1 girl across all 5 or 6 and then the last 3rd of the game is kinda different( various changes ) ending with a final battle unique within each route.
- The space battle stuff.
Each girl has a ship , specially in something , ( mint is long range barrage attack , forte is precise attacks ( mid- range ) ranpha is close attacks , milfeuille is critical attacks and the list goes on .. during space gameplay , you have a 3D map were your ship move on all dimensions , you're playing as the commander of the fleet and giving them orders . Your goal depeds on teh story , but it can range from a classical "take out all ennemies" from a "defend a civilian ship" , get past a certain point , the game objectives are somewhat varied . It plays like HOMEWORLD the game but simplied.
Each ship behind focused on something has a hp jauge, and fuel jauge and a special jauge
*Hp being reduced to zero will force the ship to fall back ( and the girl will lost trust in you the commander , sometimes it's game over )
*Fuel is important because without it , the ship cannot attack , so you make them fall back to either your ship ( that is also on the field ) or a ressuplying ship . you have to think about ressuplying because otherwise you could halt the flow of your attack and your ennemy could exploit that to do more damage. The girls ressuply when it's low , so it's in your best interest to tell them to ressuply when you have the chance to .
*Special is an unique attack for one ship available when your ship as done well during a battle or if your trust relationship is good with the girl
At any point during space gameplay , you can pause the game and give orders or you can play without pausing the timer, everything in real time.
All missions have a timer , meaning game over if you can't do the objective in time.
You can see a bit of gameplay here ( quick youtube link ) Guy play correctly but does make some mistakes IMO.
As you can see the girl talk a LOT during the missions ( the talk is different regarding if they trust you or not or regarding if a story even has occurred )
All 4 galaxy angel games are sequels , and aside from the last , you have the option of continuing your relationship with each girl across all games
Yeah, I liked Setsuna more from the get-go, but Tomou's growing on me, which is definitely by design. It would be a nice shake-up too, since they're both relatively bold people. Not too much dancing around things I hope?

Yeah I was hoping that when he
kept telling her to cast healing spells that there was a plan behind all of this but it ended up being just to give her confidence. Which is fine too but I was hoping for some cool rpg mechanics

Talk about similarities. Kinda makes you want Aoki to win though. And then there's the fact that the audience kinda makes it feel like he's a Comedy Boxer (which is true).

OMG, this show is so precious. ^_^
The "bads" in this series are bunch of Greenpeace hippie ecoterrorists that are trying to get rid of pollution and trash and turn the Earth back into a more primal state. This is because they're animal aliens (or Anamalians if you wish) who are awesome alien/human hybrids that just wanna live in the jungle and stuff. They're basically like vampires too in that if they bite you, it causes your DNA to get re-written and you turn into anamalian as well. Which really doesn't seem all that bad, you just become a human who can also transform into an animal. Pretty badass, in fact.
So to accomplish their villainous(?) scheme, the evil boss lady sends out her super-bishie henchmen on a "Seduce and Destroy" mission to woo and then bite as many women as they can. However, they don't do a very good job, mainly because of them being dumber than fuck.
Basically this is the greatest show ever.

Hah, that was an amazing OVA. Combines the nice romance of the series and its characters and also has some pretty funny wacky moments as well.
I'll miss this show (and the manga!)

Those are pretty good games , especially mint route were your protagonist realise that she love stuffed animals & sweets and all the trouble with her familly that doesn't accept her being in the angel team ... it's a SWEET route that i think you would enjoy.

Strike the blood - 04
This was a nice episode .. the common point with index are quite obvious ( artificial city , lots of magic stuff , main heroine being a product of a magical association , 2nd main heroine being good at computer ( also tsundere ) and i could go on and on.
The episode in itself was good, predictable for a first arc and it wasn't badly done so it's alright.

If you like that you'd probably like the whole Zeta soundtrack. The whole thing is really good, see:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ5JXl8QKzw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3yY8EncET0
And my favorite in particular, theme of Axis (Neo Zeon):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHYQTFLTKxg
I'm a sucker for orchestra music from the 70s-80s.
Thanks. Sounds like a possibly fun and squee time. Probably hard as hell to find those games though.
Good stuff. I dontl ike Gundam much but I LOVE the music sometimes.
I confess that the reason I'm a fan of the haunted house episode has nothing to do with the episode and everything to do with Sousuke and Chidori's ride home.
Something about being out late on a bike is already kinda romantic, then there's the whole part where tough guy Sousuke admits that the one thing that frightens him is the thought of her getting hurt. It's a good set up for everything that happens from TSR on.
Yeah I will probably rewatch MSG-Unicorn while I watch the other members of the classical mecha pantheon. I'll definitely go with Japanese this time around, even though the English dub of MSG is fine.
Others have already posted it, but I kinda prefer the English opening.
FMP is my favorite anime series ever, so I am not exactly unbiased here.
What does Bowser Communism even MEAN?
The English one? Cuz yeah that one is nice I think.

If you want a legal copy of the game , you'll have to cough +150$ for the pc version and a little less for the ps2 version.( it's a lot given how OLD those games are ) i'm fortunate since i have a copy ( bought when it was released at the time for way less )
Given how hard it is to find them , everyone playing was forced to "cheat" if you understand what i mean.

It was a reference to a NSMBWii LP. Forgot which group, it was either Freelance Astronauts or the Runaway Guys. Probably the former.
Fun fact, Nintendo was more okay with Bowser Communism than Kill la Kill.

pretty lame episode, largely due to the fact that it was tied to a single floundering action scene. direction and art were noticeably worse than usual for the series, and frankly it is rather boring to have the main cast be what are essentially super elite unbeatable super heroes. in a world already struggling to find an identity, it loses a lot of its bite when nothing is particularly threatening.
also, your game would have to be super poorly designed to allow a root spell with a 15 second cooldown to last a full fifteen seconds. logically you could just root lock anything at that point and just walk away. even though there are more in depth game elements to the show the story resorts to misconstruing how things work in order to sensationalize key moments in the action.
also also, the cat is dumb.

This kind of phrasing is the stuff that intimidates me with MMOs. I have no idea wtf any of it means.
replace root with immobilize and then you understand.
Its still pretty complicated sounding.
Maybe the tiny bit of SAO I could have enjoyed if I knew what all this terminology meant.

A seemingly short episode, mostly because it's whole focus came down to a pvp battle. Maybe it's because I like PvE better in general, but I preferred more of the adventure/boss hunting stuff in episode 3. The pacing of this episode felt really weird. By the end of it, I could hardly believe that Akatsuki had such little screen time.

Down the 80's Gundam OST rabbit hole you go. God speed.
Absence of Akatsuki seems fine as long as Serara is involved.

Yotsugi is kind of turning out like Mayoi where she gets better every time she shows up. Seems like she might play a bit more prominently in the future, which I wasn't expecting after Nise.
Also everything about the after-credits scene was amazing.

Show continues to have really good music, including a great ending theme.
Fan service felt out of place, but it wasn't over the top or anything.
I was starting to get a bit worried about Kitahara becoming the usual bumbling idiot on the train, but he stays solid.
Sort of saw the ending coming, but still a good set up.
I'm also leaning towards Touma now. Maybe I'm just a sucker for tsundere...
:/
More pls
so it's like doto?
