Kill-la-kill 01
This show met the hype.
It reminded me of nothing so much as Re: Cutie Honey, what with the hordes of identical grunts, the fanservice, and the slapstick comedy. The real action scenes were more reminiscent of Gurren Lagann; if anything, they were even more grittily shaded and crosshatched.

But why waste time getting a GIF when people can just watch it (and not waste time doing something other than watch Kill la fucking Kill)
But then what're we supposed to do after we watch it? I'm not used to watching shows in realtime. :x

Avatar status: doesn't need changing. That's a nice bonus.
I keep going back and forth on whether to change. One one hand, Ryuuko is awesome, but on the other hand I don't wanna abandon poor Eikichi.

Pokemon Origins 1
This was even better than I was hoping it would be.
Everything from Red starting out and catching Pokemon, battling Green and Brock, and learning about what it means to battle alongside his Pokemon, was simply perfect. The nostalgic music definitely helped to elevate those moments even further to "OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!" status.
Also, Brock being made into a mentor for Red is awesome. Truly glad they had him voiced by Sugita.
Never going to unhear that Charmander scream
Seriously, though, show is amazing. Freaking loved every minute of it. It was hyper as hell, but it really does feel like a crazy, hyper version of what the product of Gurren Lagann and Utena would be like. That one girl is definitely a somehow more hyper Wakaba.
At the same time, wmg, this is all happening in the future after the end of TTGL, and Matoi is a descendant of Simon. I mean THE ENTIRE ACADEMY CITY IS A SPIRAL.
Or maybe this is a prequel to TTGL, and Simon is descended from Matoi?

tl;note: worst means best in jarmelenese
It all takes place in Shinji's head.
All anime takes place during 3rd Impact. Except for maybe The Big O's 2nd season. That stuff is crazy.
At the end, Earth lights up with the words "Welcome Home" as Shinji wakes up.

Yeah, my only other avatar was Ryuusuke from BECK, and it still is on a couple of other sites. Took some thought before I removed him.

IS 2 - 01:
The most clueless protagonist is back!
The most clueless protagonist is back!
Wasn't sure if I was imagining it, but some parts looked a bit off. Not enough to annoy me though because the whole thing goes so fast.
That's funny, I watched the OP to Golden Time and had to check that I hadn't momentarily time-slipped to an alternate 2001, where Gonzo were producing an exciting new romantic comedy. Man, those digital and CG effects look so old-school...
(It's also pretty bad when your main heroine seems to drift in and out of model during an OP which looks like it's got only maybe one cut which had any effort put into it...)

You're suppose to lament how miserable the rest of the week is.
Also Kill La Kill still unanimously praised.

What if Lordgenome is a descendent of the student council president? Her face just kept screaming that to me.

Well from what i've seen, Kill La Kill can be seen from this page and the last page.
Coppelion wasn't recieved as well.
I dunno man. Its pretty awesome. It brought me back to earlier days.
Yeah it was slow compared to this, but two very different styles.
What? I think the pacing quite slow, I'm expecting all goes batshit from first minute and what I got is pretty standard.
Victory Gundam 32
Da fuq is dat?
I can't breath
It's a fucking dragon curled up into a wheel.
Holy shit this is the worst UC Gundam show ever. Thank you for letting me see 00 and AGE first, or I might've called this the worst Gundam ever.
It's a dragon in a wheel or something I don't know oh my God who invented this and why?

Coppelion has gorgeous backgrounds, but it's kind of slow-moving. If you're particular with character design you might not like it.
Kill la Kill YES!

I have a movie night coming up with friends and I feel like the Casshern movie could be fun but I'm afraid it might spoil the plot of Casshern Sins for me? Has anyone seen them both and can comment on my fears?
I'll write up a longer impression but I absolutely despised this episode of KLK. Despised it. There is no setup for pretty much anything, the pacing is breakneck at the disregard for everything, the opening scene referring to Germany in the 1930s was way too on the nose, the red text just slapping you in the face, and also the awful CGI.
It felt like a case of a director trying way too hard.
There was fast as hell.

Kill La Kill 01
FLCL + Gurren Lagann + Utena
Anime is saved, etc.
I like how in a way it's kind of a parody (and like all the good parodies it's also a good example from the genre seen straight-up) of that weird anime motif of schools being places where bullies are bosses who are apart from everyone else, fight between them to decide who is the king of the school and teachers can't touch them, the student council is some kind of super powerful group who can make the school laws and have tremendous seat of power, and can establish a dictatorship, then you have the transfer student challenging the status quo, etc etc.
KLK is classic, following all the established rules, but with just turning it all up to eleven it makes it different than the norm, and it's all perfectly executed to make it a wild ride.
KNK 1
I watched it with a friend and around the middle, we both said: "it's weird, there is a good amount of stuff happening but it feels slow". I mean, we learn a good deal about how different are the three named characters shown, but the dialogue is clunky, you can't connect with any of them, and the episode doesn't seem to know where to go with its own plot. Still, well drawn and animated, and the fantasy story is maybe interesting, so I will watch a pair more of episodes.
Not good, but it isn't horrible.
Kyousougiga - 00
I watched this a year ago. It doesn't matter, I watched it again: I like the craziness, the action, the colorful visuals, the characters seems interesting, and I find the uber-fantastic mysterious setting appealing. And while you enjoy the spectacle, it's also fun to start collecting the "clues" dispersed, little thing that happen, implied meanings in that phrase, etc, puzzling back together what the hell is all about.

I am a sucker for gorgeous backgrounds so that is a go on Coppelion then.
And yeah, GAF seems enthusiastic about Kill la Kill (a title so Japanese it hurts).
Different types of shows. Also KLK's pacing issue is much more glaring. They didn't bother to take time establishing anything other than the school being hell on earth, in the most obvious way possible.

Subete no aware
I was just going to post this cap!
Infinite Stratos returns! Both so stupid, yet so wonderfully efficient that my appreciation for this franchise has went from irony to near genuine. Yes, the show is still sadlifey, but there's a simple charm in how willfully sadlife it is. It's not insipid or evil like Sword Art Online, nor is it the half-pornography that To Love Ru tries to be. It's just a plain old shitty harem, but it's just good at it. Who else would think of having TWO tsundere childhood friends as part of the harem? How does that even work?!
Now, as for season 2. Well, I'm worried that it will go up its own ass with this new arc, because what I've heard about it makes it sound like dumb SyFy shit, but when they have shots like this:
I almost feel like they know better and are just going to do the shitty harem stuff and make the boring meta plot hero stuff ancillary, like they did in the first season.
Also, I hope that the thing at the end was just a preview and not them cheapening out. It may be one of the only times I've seen previews before the credits though, if that's the case.

Phi Brain 3 picked up by Crunchyroll...Sundays at 3pm Eastern time. Thankfully no multiday wait for Puzzle Time this year!
Thats how I feel about it. Its so over the top in the best way that makes me very nostalgic. Its a tried and true formula executed to perfection.
I thought the pacing was good. It's fast, but they sped through the initial introductions, the background, the setting, etc and wrapped it all up with a battle and a question at the end. It didn't feel disjointed or scattered, which is always possible when you rush through things so fast. There's confidence in the way everything is presented.

It has like 2 cours to establish itself. I'm okay with this

bad gameplay lol
Golden Time 1
Kouko = Taiga
Banri = Ryuuji
Mitsuo = Kitamura
Chinami = Minori
Linda = Ami
Yep, this is certainly by Yuyuko Takemiya. It seems like she just took the Toradora template, changed around some personality types, aged the characters up a bit, and called it a day. I don't have a huge problem with this of course, since I'm a huge fan of Toradora, but it seems pretty clear now that this isn't going to be a huge deviation from Takemiya's previous work. It was so obvious by the middle of the episode that the show was going to follow the Toradora template that I was actually expecting the introduction of the Ami expy, and then boom, Linda.
As for the episode itself, it was really good, if not a bit predictable. The setting is a nice change of pace (even if it's essentially a high school, complete with club recruiters and everything) and the characters all seem fairly likable from the get-go. The OP isn't terribly great (though it's good by default due to being sung by my goddess Yui Horie), but the ED is really quite good and I can't wait for the single.

Seriously the orange sky and the spiral, tiered nature of the city reminded me a lot of the toy that young Lordgenome was sitting on in the beginning of Gurren Hen. Kill la Kill confirmed for prequel to TTGL.
There's a Casshern movie? If it is related to Sins, I have to watch it with Kirby Guy so we can both just sit there and go "Whoa" when we watch it.
Coppelion was very pretty, and is an interesting, semi-postapocalyptic story from what I've seen so far. I'm gonna watch it because it is pretty. Kill la Kill is like if Gurren Lagann and Revolutionary Girl Utena had a baby.
Unfortunately, Crunchyroll's Phi Brain S3 simulcast is limited to North America only. Every Wednesday at 12:00pm PDT.

By the way, this means that Outbreak Company is still the only simulcast show to have a delay so far. Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best.
So many youngins who dont remember anime like this. there used to be quite a lot trying to copy off of Gainax and stuff.
The dialogue not felt as janky, and actually have flow.. and we already got explained what power that they have and already grasp the main conflict.. pretty much everything that viewer need to know, as intro not totally spotty and we don't know context that happened in episode.
They did this in 20 minutes. They didn't take time to let anything breathe or any atmosphere really develop. It's plot point after plot point.
The dialogue wasn't janky, although the intro was ridiculously on the nose. Hey did you know a theme of the show is 1930's Germany? Well now you do.
