Valvrave 22
Man, everybody had me all concerned that this episode was going to suck going into it, but honestly I thought this freaking rocked. People who didn't like it just don't appreciate the madness.
I mean this episode had those garish CG space suits, guys. That was something that was completely unnecessary and entirely awkward. We're not saving money on animating mechs, we're doing it by not even bothering to animate things that aren't dudes faces. Those CG space suits are the goddamn future. That is the horrible CG of progress, guys.
Moving beyond that, we had
Except, unlike Loldouche, I kinda actually want Haruto and L-Elf to win.
Also if this show isn't a stealth sequel to Code Geass, I would be legitimately surprised. This show riffs that one so much they just have to be related.
Best mecha show of the year. Sorry, Gargantia.

bitchmode Shoko taken down like seven pegs. We had L-Elf flat out lay into Haruto and finally tear that idealistic dreck out of his head. Oh sure nobody was parting the red sea today, but we did have something unspoken but awesome begin. We had the birth of an empire.

Yuusibu is a second-rate Hataraku anyway. The demon girls are nice, though. NouCome has the better set of characters overall.
I'd give it at least best OP this season.
my number one anime returns. super excited!
Can't happen with these 2 running around imo:

I think you mean 22? (Episode 21 was awesome for different reasons =p)
My bad. I am not good at remembering the episode numbering of Valvrave because of reasons.
I really wouldn't consider Free to even be a shounen sports series. I can't really put my finger on the genre. The closest thing I can think of is that it's like K-On... but with guys.

Is it bad that I got bored of this anime in the first two episodes or something? I feel bad now.

Honestly this show is a LOT better when it is focusing on people in at least somewhat realistic ways. The Ozu Sisters and Super Saiyan
and the
were all completely unnecessary concepts I was glad the episode abandoned quickly to focus instead on
When this show focuses on character driven drama it is fine. When it devolves into lightning bolts and force fields it sucks.
I really hope

Metal Gear
the much more credible drama of the train situation, Haruto's belief in humanity, and the Ghost Commander's own inner struggles of the same kind.

Haruto didn't die for real, because I like his character. However, given two gunshot wounds, blood loss and having to survive in the wasteland on his own in spite of that I doubt he made it.

Thanks, I'm now somewhat terrified.
So both Yuushibu and Outbreak Company finally break out the serious parts of their concepts for the final two episodes. Well...Outbreak at least touched on it before.
With the latter...I did wonder if Shinichi would just spill the beans, request asylum and defend his new homeland.

Definitions of words like best are hard.
But Shin'ichi is better than that. Like a true otaku, he picked up on the episode's foreshadowing! =p

True. And my suggestion would turn it into something very different that they don't have time to deal with. Still...I would enjoy watching Shinichi help push earth forces out with fantasy characters.
Saint Seiya CG movie...
Looks like something from Dynasty Warriors

Dynasty Warriors looks better.

Infinite Stratos S2 11
So we go from the worst episode of the season, to the most boring episode in the season.
Remember when they tried (and succeeded) making quality filler back in EP 5?
Good times.
Here it's just a mixture of fighting to stay awake from all the dullness and sighing in exasperation for the umpteenth time over how stupid everyone became since the season started.
I don't even want to mention how bad the setup is for the next episode. Especially since I actually rammed through the LN's last week and realized how completely butchered the whole thing is.
*Sigh
On the bright side of things, I found out Yuuki Homura is doing gods work and giving us more art of Fox Priestess Houki.
Bless him for this and for making sure the manga focuses on what truly matters.
Samurai Flamenco 10
This show is the fucking best. It could end right here and it would be pretty much perfect. The fact that it's going to carry on and provide us with a whole 'nother season of awesome is just the icing on the cake.
Also Moe is so best girl it hurts. Such beautiful devotion to her flawed heroine. Love <3

Decided to check TBA , and God, I can't believe this exists
Of course it exists!
Really cute looking too.
Damn right. Theyre the best at it.
To be fair, its hard to fault Steins;Gate for anything.

Only thing missing is a figure.
You know if he actually had one.

Strike the blood - 11
Again with the fake cliffangers ?
The author of strike the blood should REALLY try something else.

New favorite pairing. Shame they're only secondary protagonists and not the focus.

Mine would be more Nagisa and Rin oriented, though right now all my stuff except one thing has all five on it.

He already blew his load of shock value when kujou got

One of us! One of us! Uka should have been the primary protagonist of the story.
there can never be a more
Well there could be an anime with actual gay character...but that will never happen
I honestly dont like noucome too much. I do like Yukihira of course!
Indeed it is, but Yuushibu is really fun!
Yes Fino makes that show. She is cuuuuuuuute!
Hmmm. I like these quite a bit.

Heavy on the story, short and art? If that's your only criteria, what about Ano Natsu De Matteru
If you specifically want a friendship anime with good art, Nichijou, though that one's 20+ episodes. I guess another option, though I haven't seen it but it's similar in its trippy art, would be Mawaru Penguindrum (also relatively short). There's also Kids on the Slope.
I really like this character design a lot. She looks so elegant and beautiful.
Have you watched Uchouten Kazoku?
Yeah. I'm pretty bummed about that. Needs her own spinoff.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. While it's true that MC's story and school life are fairly boring compared to Uka's, they put a decent amount of focus on her and Touka where it shouldn't be an issue.
Kids on the Slope seems really neat.
Oooh I forgot about this. It's not ongoing is it?
