Cardfight!! Vanguard: Link Joker Episode 106 (engDub)
Naoki's Break Time is awesome and the whole play stunning for an episode 2
. Friendship levels soared even higher this time too with the backstory moment and now this future, and with Kourin here, I think they might really form a good and memorable team.
I wonder where Kamui and Kai will fit in this season since both are at different schools making Team Quadrifoglio a bit broken.

pulling out a cross ride, break ride, limit break and even getting a critical trigger to a 40000 power unit in just the second episode, thats close to the highest in the series thus far

Super Seisyun Brothers Episode 8
I cant wait for Chika to get there and his friend, I wonder what Comiket will be like for them.

Oh yea, I have heard of this, a shame that has transpired with the vandalization.

There's three multi-episode plot arcs: Hyouka, film, and festival. The other episodes have one-off mysteries/plots. The character development serves as a kind of overarching plot throughout the series though.

So I assume Hyouka ends at round episode 6 or so? And yeah I'm not bothered by a lack of overarching plot. If anything I more than welcome it.
yeah after that it plods along until Festival arc.

The warnings of cars in this show were not idle apparently! I'm looking forward to getting this far.
Stopped reporting on Saimoe after the rules change wiped out all legitimacy of the tournament (well, what was left of it, anyway), but might as well mention that they've got the final 16 lined up now:
Sawa Okita (Tari Tari) vs. Kyouko (PMMM)
Tsukiko (Henneko) vs. Kobato (Haganai)
Madoka (PMMM) vs. Ayase (Oreimo) (rematch, this time without Homura draining votes from Madoka)
Akari (Yuruyuri) vs. Kuroneko (Oreimo) (also a rematch)
Kyouko (Yuruyuri) vs. Tomoka (RKB) (also a rematch)
Azusa Azuki (Henneko) vs. Watashi (Jinrui)
Miho (GuP) vs. Mami (PMMM)
Yoshino (DAL) vs. Sayaka (PMMM)
The whole thing still won't be over until the 23rd, though.

Aw, I missed the Tsukihime discussion.
Art needing to be remade you say?
Wow, his face look pretty compared to other character.
Thanks, its good having a bit more in-depth explanation behind them, and a category into which they can all be sorted. Helps me to know what to expect in each one.
It's not bad, really. I think I'm just wanting for something more intense right now.
Yo, Nanami is probably the single most sympathetic character in the show. This show delights in making her really, really easy to hate and then forcing you to feel for her. Nanami is best girl.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, because taking a hammer and driving it into the sun is one of my favorite mecha moments. The Goldion Crusher is just so over the top it really works. And that Mamoru and Guy fight is still one of the best parts of the entire show.
Ahahahahahaha. It's all down the slide from here, folks.
OOoooh You just started a goooood one
So they tell me.
I really enjoyed Dai-Guard, but I don't know that I'd go straight from GGG to it, as in many ways Dai-Guard relies on MotW. It's one of those shows that uses mecha as a backdrop for its real story. It's less about them fighting monsters every week than it is about them growing together as a sort of family, which I'm told is ideal for workplaces in Japan? But the point is, it's a good show, just not a super great mecha show.
Akagi is meant to rub you the wrong way at first. He improves as the show goes on.
Akagi actually is a licensed mecha operator. He came first in his class in robotics or something like that in college. He's not military trained, though his professor was a military man. Akagi's unprofessional treatment of the Dai-Guard, as well as his tendency to rush into situations and often make more problems, is a part of his character arc.
AW HELL YISS THE CARS
Honestly thats a REALLY nice finalist list.
Yeah, I'm legitimately impressed how sympathetic that one episode made me feel considering how much I despised her before then.
Do you enjoy SaiMoe, Arti, or is it "just" a piece of news you post? You've never really seemed to join in the waifu rankings discussions so I could never work out if you were that invested in it.
As usual it's a bunch of characters who don't appeal to me all that much (although I enjoyed Madoka, I didn't find the characters particularly likeable or engaging; I mostly enjoyed seeing them suffer...). The female character I've liked the most this year - Saki in From The New World - is never going to rank in any kind of competition!
Really the most impressive bit about that scene isn't even smashing the sun, it's the voice acting. It's Hiyama yelling his lungs out, like his life depended on it. I think I watched the scene ten times last night, just to savor in his screaming.
Attack on Cliffganger 20-25
I finally got in the mood and had the time to finish this. Got tired of the pace and every episode finishing into a cliffhanger bigger than the last one. And aside of that I was sure it all would end in another gigantic cliffhanger at the end of the season
Anyway, enoyable, I enjoyed it much more at the beginning. I think their focus on misteries, cliffhangers and making everything confusing is affecting the pace, the character development and the tone of the series. If they keep inflating the mysteries it´s going to be a huge disappointment when the reveal is not as amazing as they are making it to be.
The best of the show: Mikasa (duh)
Badass.
Scary.
OMG, YES I SWEAR YOU WILL BE THE ONLY WOMAN IN MY LIFE IF YOU STOP LOOKING ME THAT WAY.

Just watch an AMV.
Eh... I guess I used to, but the rapid decline in interest/votes means there's less meaning (not that there was much before) in it now. I mostly was posting the stuff about it because as you said other people like to do the waifu arguing and I find that amusing to watch. But as results get more and more predictable, especially in ISML, and tactical voting becomes more and more blatant, it feels less fun. I mean, yeah, it's all internet polls no matter how you slice it, but at least it used to have the illusion of a wider range of people participating instead of just becoming fanbase vs. fanbase.
Lagann-Hen has the super awesome final battle and also shortens the entire Rossiu arc, which I suppose eliminates the problem people had and also has the super awesome final battle.
Its just a dumb distraction at best.
But I kinda enjoy it. Just as a "what the hell why not" kind of thing.

Rossiu arc had that punch though...
I dunno if I would call it "super awesome" when it's just a super bloated action sequence which goes on and on and on without much restrain or even decent choreography. It's excess and indulgence at its worst. Fun for the animator and great for gifs, but as a piece of film making, the battle was definitely far worse than it was in the TV series.

Yeah, episode 6 bored me to tears.
Though, It's the only episode I actually dislike.
Really?
That's incredibly disappointing.

It's never too early to wish for a 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and an 8th season.

Which does get cut from the movie as I recall, which does bite.
Uh they grow to like a size larger than the universe, make a drill bigger than themselves, and then have a drill-off with the main bad guy. It was the very definition of super awesome.

What? There was a movie.
Sounds like you already forgot all the other crap that they added which bloated up the entire sequence.
Well, I really have no idea how they summon their robots here, the author can pick any word or tech out of his ass for that so whatever I think I can be proven wrong, but,
all I'm saying is that in this show their robots can materialize out of thin air, they can use, for instance, a single arm of the robot without the rest of the frame and without breaking their own arm even though you'd think the human frame couldn't support a robot arm with a weapon so after all that nonsense Russia's ability is kinda more of the same. At this point there is no real tech grounded in reality here so I'm not surprised at whatever they do and it all fits since there is no grounded reality here.
Maybe, but, in classic anime fashion these kids aren't soldiers. Look at it this way, you have standard high school students going up against a terrorist organization, the terrorist organization probably has a goal, maybe they feel it's worth dying for, while the students goal's are to survive, get good grades, graduate, marry Ichika and live a long and unfulfilled life, and dying directly hinders that.
Take away all the stupid from the story and strip it down to the bare human reality and what you have is essentially the same thing as two gunmen assaulting a normal high school, if it happened that the gunmen were to escape I don't think you'd find many rational adults questioning why some of the students did not continue to chase the gunmen. The school had already won, thwarted the thieves and did so with no deaths, there's little reason to press their luck at that point.

Also, episode 5 totally sucked. This show is just getting randomer and randomer.
Nah. Maids are very nice but dat poodle Char.

The comedy is pretty enjoyable.
The SHOUNEN EMOTIONS makes it fun to watch.
Though it doesn't give me all the feel good feelings of Ookiku though.

The truth right here. I actually thought the original TV series was missing something in that final fight, as enjoyable as it was.
Then I see the movie, and thought to myself: "okay, that fixed any problems I had with it." Everybody gets their moment of awesome, and it's pushed to the extreme. It's like Super Mario Galaxy 2. There was a crap-ton of stuff that Nintendo wanted to put in the first one but ran out of time, so they just dumped all the rest of their good ideas into the sequel.
Yeah Lagann-hen cut some stuff out (like Rossiu's punch, instead he gets an underwhelming slap by Kinon) but it added some really good stuff in return, like that hilarious hacking sequence.

It's technology ...
person behind it is a genius after all that managed to bend every freaking nation around the world to her will ...that should give us a idea on how advanced the thing is.
It's so advanced that she doesn't care that each nation is studying the tech on their own to make their own things as long as they respect the quota each nation has , in the end it's no use.

Plot with Misae now! I wonder what Tomoya's relation is with it, perhaps the cat that is attached to him belonged to Shima? Misae so far reminds me of Ryou but 5 times aggressive
, not that I mind though.
