Not any of the ones which matter, no.

Yesterday we got Infinite Stratos and some J Drama in the UK. So basically, the choice is Galilei Donna or Galilei Donna. Luckily I did want to check that out.

Eh.
Pretty much every attempt at being self-referential or clever in the writing falls flat. In the opening scene in particular the narration creates an awful first impression, despite Kyoani's signature attention to detail and strong directing. Without Mirai's clumsy-moe, there's not a lot to like in any of the characters. It feels like bad Bakemonogatari, and I don't even like that show.
When Yonafunu was talking about the lack of context, I was initially drawing parallels in my head with Uchouten Kazoku, but they're very different kinds of things. Uchouten may have been very deliberate in laying out the backstory of its characters, but it was extremely upfront about its world. For this show, you're kind of tossed right into everything. It's not really unclear, but I don't know why I should care about any of this Spirit Warrior junk. The source seems to want to be like Bake, but that show also took its time setting up its supernatural elements, and the stakes were always tied to the characters. The youmu are pretty meaningless here.
I like the idea of Cleaners that mop up after messy supernatural fights and keep things normal, though. Maybe the show should be about them instead.
I feel kind of bad writing this, because I'm steamrolling through all the strong technical skill on display here. The action is damn good, and there's some subtle character animation that goes a long way to help the limp writing. But I can't imagine any way for this show to get past its source, which seems to have nothing interesting to say. I can't see myself sticking around.

I haven't seen a Mexican restaurant in my entire time in Japan, but this is a pretty inspired parody. The place they visit is called Aizeriya, which is a take on a middle-of-the-road Italian chain called Saizeriya. It's a cute move.

Naruto Shippuden Episode 333 The Risks of the Reanimation Jutsu
Song for the new OP (no.14) Size of Moon from Nogizaka46, sounds nice and has good coloring direction (the red and black and how they do it at the end), while the ED has a nice feel to it but has that amazing Sasuke focus and image. (Black Night Town - Akihisa Kondō
.
Good episode for some action
while the Kabuto, Sasuke, Itachi stuff served as a nice intro for next week.

Tsunade being impaled by the stone looked way more shocking here than in the manga
Makes me thing of a Power Rangers rip-off from the 1990s personally.

Unfortunately I had no idea what this episode was even, idols turning into fathers, rocket mecha girls, hands in chests, etc. Its too high level.
Problem Children are Coming from Another World, aren't they? 7 - 8
This Black Geass Roll arc of Hamlin is not that good, it lacks the energy of the past and isnt that compelling as focusing on a small guild of no names trying to make a name for themselves in the world. Oh well maybe the end result will deliver, but with two episodes left, I dont think it will.

Hopefully Mao has eyes for Chika, would be so wonderful.

Huh. Thanks for this rant, you've reminded me of something I noticed a while ago but didn't bother to bring up here. But how come in Gurren Lagann
there's not a single wheel in sight? For a show that has the evolution of mankind as a core theme, why is the wheel, an amazing invention for humankind, nowhere to be found in that anime? I'm not complaining, it just strikes to me as weird, looking back on it now. There's no wheels. Just legs. Is that supposed to be some kind of subtle exercise message? Or maybe Gainax watched Victory Gundam and said: "Look at this filth! None of those blasphemous things belong in our anime! NO WHEELS ALLOWED."

What an episode.
Spirals are the wheels.
What an episode.
Both Merkatz and Schenkopf are now gone. Exactly one year after Yang Wenli's unfortunate demise.
The sick Reinhard dons his military uniform for what I presume is the last time he ever can to await and greet Julian in the way he deserves. Having the Kaiser be in pajamas for this is something neither man could stand.
As Julian finally meets Reinhard after fighting his way through the Royal Guard he collapses and Reinhard orders his own doctors to aid him.
Hopefully Julian will be functional again before Reinhard inevitably falls to his illness.

Beyond the Boundary Episode 1 Carmine
The past and their designations as being of spiritual origin makes the plot compelling in a few ways as well as the various spirits. Her power of using blood isnt all that special though (quite sure weve seen it in other animated works) and I think it would have been better if instead of a blade it was something else. I think what would ultimately make it good is if we get to see Akihito get some type of ability to fight as well if this anime is going in that route.
Was much impressed with Akihito design as that made me check it out and I was thoroughly pleased with him the whole way through. Excellent voice, excellent personality, excellent design. Verily, good in every way.

Never noticed that. Maybe there was just no need with people adopting the tech they took over.
The terminology in the LN is worse. They keep using stuff like xenomorphs which just make me think of Alien.

Because in the end, the show is "cute girls doing stuff in radioctive future Japan". They try to explain they send the girls and not soldiers or scientists because they are immune to radiation and whatnot, but at the end of the day, it's just a bad excuse, and one originated after the fact the author decided to want to draw school girls in desolated landscapes.
"Spirit World Warriors" is pretty much the blandest possible straight-dictionary transcription of the original Japanese, "異界士". "異界 refers to the supernatural, everything outside of the realm that people can experience, and "士 is for warrior or fighter. It's not hard to think of a better term in English. You could call them "Ghost Hunters", for example.

HOLY SHIT THIS SHOW'S AMAZING AND THE CHARACTERS ARE COOL AND THE DEMONS ARE VARIED AND THE POWERS ARE RAD AND THE REFERENCES TO HUMAN EMOTIONS AND ACTIONS THROUGH FIGHTING STYLES AND KUWABARA AND THIS SHOW IS AMAZING.
YOU SEE THIS MAN?
HE MAKES MY DICK ROCK HARD.
He gives me a lean feel looking at that, I don't know how I feel looking at this picture but... it feels different than what I remember.
Do you really want him to suffer what's at the end of the road?
.....
*cringe*
I don't think it's airing on CR today. Probably next week Thursday. They usually put up a episode 1 countdown clock...but there's nothing today. Golden Time has a countdown clock to the first episode.

Dat eye searing GoHands filter. Dat insufferable KanaHana character. Aside from very pretty backgrounds and the premise there wasn't much in this episode to grab me.

I just don't think that scene needed to last almost half the entire episode. I feel the point was made much sooner than that and that there was nothing to be gained from dragging it out that long.
Probably because, as MGS3 point out, if your mech can have legs, it doesn't really need wheels.
Yeah, the second ONA series of Kyousougiga is made up of five shorts. They're each about ten minutes, give or take.
That's a lot of sakuga.
That scene was wonderful. Felt like the perfect followup to the crazy cathartic release at the end of the previous episode. Just bathing in the atmosphere (afterglow?) and giving us time to reflect on what had just happened and how it changed everything.
...Plus of course it set up for ending the episode on that cliffhanger, so yeah.
(how are there two different anime girls with this name?)
Damn while I was sleeping normal Melty went out of stock but luckily amiAmi has it still. Jesus if you dont jump on these preorders...
Kill it by all means necessary
Even better!
What do you mean by that, exactly? I suppose the slightly melodramatic schoolkid drama is a staple of Mari Okada's original work, but then she also wrote Fujiko, which is completely different. And how is it what you'd expect from PA Works? The show looks nothing like Uchouten Kazoku, their most recent show.
I think I know what you mean - but it's hard to tell from what you've said.

Yes, Melty is from Shining Hearts and was in the ricks Bread anime a bit. I just ordered the normal version because holy shit it went out of stock the last couple hours in a few places already. But I got one
That Melty was cute too. Not best girl though.

Char day.
My problem isn't with the purpose of the scene, just its length. It went on too long. The point was made while they were still on the bridge, did I need four minutes of them going down the next street as well?

OH MY GOD THAT BITE ATTACK WHAT THE HELL. The .gifs don't let you HEAR that. And Charmander's cry of agony is definitely what makes that memorable.
