Gundam Build Fighters 10
First half had excellent humor - the sequence between Aila and Reiji in particular - and the second half had excellent mecha animation. So it was everything you'd want from an episode of Gundam Build Fighters.
Most of the mecha designs I could take or leave, but I actually like Aila's. It's probably because of the color scheme.
I wasn't looking to see you again.

Kirara is back? Fuck yeah. Can't wait to watch ep 10 tonight.
Also Aila's gundam is butt ugly. I just like the elegance of the simplicity of most of the models and yeah Bearguy-san is the greatest design of all time.

Samurai Flamenco Episode 10
Excellent episode,
Also it looked like they really prettied him up for the reveal scene there.
Excellent episode,
Moe rising up to the call of duty and putting on a brave face was highly commendable. At least she is still willing to be friends with Flamenco girl anyway, but I wonder if they'll just leave everything to Samumenco. Would be good as we need it to get back to Goto and Masayoshi antics.
Also it looked like they really prettied him up for the reveal scene there.
Ohhh hell yeah!
That and the pacing, which is why some people called it "Slowzinger ZZZ" and other such names. Baron Ashura's portrayal is definitely one of the unique highlights of this version of the story. There's still a lot more stuff down the rabbit hole though. Just wait and see!
On an unrelated note, it's great that you're watching Gunbuster. One of my first anime purchases and even after all these years I can still go back to it.
Not gonna lie, when I'm washing dishes at home, I like to rock out to Silent Voice.
The pacing was sort of slow for a bit, but honestly there have been enough awesome action packed parts to make this worth my while. Gunbuster is definitely nice, but I wonder how far they can really go in 6 episodes.

ARE YOU SHITTING ME?
AN ENTIRE EPISODE WITH A PLOT THAT ISN'T HAPPENING. MADE ENTIRELY OUT OF OLD CLIPS WITH DIFFERENT DIALOGUE.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?
Are we seriously showing the opening credits IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING EPISODE?!

Hahahahahaha.
That reminds me of that one Gintama episode that did the same thing. Only there it was used as a joke.
I can't wait for it too, the tension, the hype, it'll be too good. Can't wait for more Kuroko bombshells either, surprising everyone.
Dang, next week's a manservice episode huh. I was hoping that they start up the winter cup quick, but it's whatever. As long as they at least get to a certain match. I think I heard Momoi's voice, so Aomine could be there. Kuroko, Kagami, AND Aomine in a spa? Fujoshi will flip.
This entire episode was a massive waste of time. It was just a really lame clip episode.
I'll say, I was already into buying models, but the show was definitely a factor in my purchase of kits during Black Friday.

That entire scene with Manager and Elza was simply amazing.
Rice cooker at the end completely slayed me.
I used to be way into buying Gunpla, from Wing up until partway through Destiny. Strangely enough, that show kinda killed my enthusiasm for the stuff - I think the last thing I built prior to Build Fighters was a Strike Rouge of all things.
All the BF robots are way too cool to resist, though.
This series' so weird. Usually the animation's pretty standard, but at times it suddenly turns fluid as FAWK

A combination of money shot scenes and Tetsuya Takeuchi's magic.
Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 1
I didn't watch this when I watched the series like I was supposed to, and I kinda regret it since it would have given me a little bit of base for some of the rest of the show, most notably in regards to Shaoran's mother. Shaoran's mother was great and I love what happened between her and Sakura in this movie. Though of course there were also Shaoran's sisters, who were hilarious. One thing I loved how this show did since Meilin made her first appearance is contrast the serious and intimidating nature of Shaoran in the beginning with the sheer absurdity he has to deal with elsewhere, and how he reacts to all of that showed that he really is just a normal kid for thee most part. Aside from the magic powers and everything. They did sort of do this early on with his crush on Yukito (still adorable how he would get jealous when Yukito would give shit to Sakura), but Meilin really opened him up more.
Well anyway, I liked this, but I didn't care for the ending, that the lady loved Clow and was beckoning him. And also she was violent. And then Sakura let her know that she knew how she felt and she disappeared.
Apparently the second movie is really good. Might make it a double feature tonight.

Steins;Gate: Deja Vu
Yeah cool I liked it.
Plot was a bit of a reach but then again I'm not an expert on time travel.
Asami Imai is goddamned divine though. I don't even have the words for her performance in this.

I really don't think this movie was necessary. Unless I misinterpreted that ending then we're left with exactly the same world we got at the end of the series. More of a fanservice thing rather than the next proud and brave leap in storytelling.
Also I don't think you can disappear into another timeline for remembering something or thinking that you don't belong in the current timeline. All I'm saying is that it sounds kinda dumb. Again, I'm not an expert on time travel but that really does sound dumb, I'm sorry.

When Kurisu cried it felt like fifty knives were driven straight into my heart.
Yeah. Now I'm happy watching the OP, whereas I loathed it to begin with.
I found 11 interesting for the ruined schoolhouse and other buildings. Its like the land of Yamato is actually built on top of ancient ruins of Japan, and not some fantasy world. Which leads to wondering about finding old tech in ruins.

Which is strange because I REALLY liked portions of it.
Fantastic style too. And sakuga. It also felt a bit incoherent and I felt genuinely lost at times.
Which is a shame. So many wasted opportunities. I feel kinda bummed now. Need something else to watch...
I was so excited too.
This was so and so. I liked vast portions of it but it just felt like it should have been somewhat shorter.

Though ostensibly about Mana, it did turn out to be more of a Rikka episode after all. Rather, dealing with the weird love triangle that is Mana/Regina/Rikka. More progress on the Regina front, but she returns home because even if her dad is evil, she still loves him. It was a bit of a somber note to end a Christmas episode on. Mana's notes to Rikka were cute, and it looks like Johnny Klondike may be back for real. Christmas, always a time for plot stuff to start happening. Also a time for Mana to continue to outdo everybody. She's wanted to be Santa, and given how overpowered she is, I believe she could do it.

last of the sacred treasures being found. Heavy is the head that wears the plastic-looking crown.

Log Horizon 11
Took eleven episodes but Log Horizon finally got actually really good. Tohya continues to be hilarious, Minori continues to bring great magical, attacks, and sparkles, sparkles, sparkles with comedy and teasing with Tohya. Really funny and entertaining. Looking forward to their dungeon pursuit.

Worn down/ruined yes. Just for some reason the schoolhouse and that stood out as ruined japan to me. Whereas ruins in the city for some reason didn't evoke that reaction for me.

Oh boy,
Somehow I don't think this is going to end particularly well.
Also Kouko your mini-Banri fantasies are scary. Please stop that. >.<
Oh boy,
Kouko has the incriminating BanrixLinda photo and meanwhile Banri is off enjoying secret part-time job party with Sexy Demon Linda and co.

Little Busters! Refrain Episode 11 - The End of the World
Well it was alright I guess.

Well it was alright I guess.
cried most hard for Kengo their struggling to keep smiling and then Kyousuke wishing to remain. Just thinking of it and their final scenes and back to him in the previous episode near the bus and the whole story of trying to make them stronger even though their hanging on for dear life was just really intense. How could one even think of doing a story such a way (and its also not the first time I encountered the "bus fell over cliff - one or two survivors" idea in JPN media (I guess its a subgenre?"

Airi's hero outfit is ridiculously revealing even in fully-armoured state, but once the armour falls away she might as well just be standing there stark naked...

Mobile Suit Gundam 17
So Amuro thinks he can out strategize Bright, and tries to throw his weight around in battle. The battle is barely won, and that for reasons that had very little to do with Amuro's own strategy and more because Kai is a boss. Meanwhile, Ramba Ral proves he's a super upstanding guy by pointing out that the only reason he wants to blow up the White Base is because doing so would not just avenge Garma, but ensure profitable careers for his men and a life of luxury for his mistress/wife/whatever it is that Hamon is to him.
Bright, sick of Amuro's attitude, decides to pull him off of Gundam while trying and failing to put the moves on Mirai. Amuro overhears and flips out, and then takes the Gundam with him while he deserts.
Something I missed the first time through is that Bright is only 3 years older than Amuro. He's barely out of his own teenage years and in a war of the scale and kind nobody has ever seen before and has to endure all manner of nonsense without Federation support. Of course he's going to screw up once or twice. The problem is that Amuro can't really see it that way because Amuro is even younger. The entire White Base is so unusual a thing that Cozun doesn't actually believe that Bright and Mirai are officers.
On that note, Mirai is probably about the same age as Bright, and this watch through really demonstrates to me just how reliant Bright is on her for advice. In all honesty, Mirai runs the White Base about as much as Bright does.
Speaking of Mirai, this is the episode where Amuro sees her topless. You see Mirai and Frau Bow topless over the course of the show, but if you want to see Sayla, you have to pony up and watch the movie, son. Even though Frau Bow is underage and Mirai probably isn't that much older than Sayla.

Kuroko's Basketball 2 Episode 36 - Don't Be Ridiculous
Could next week hurry, this looks like it will be amazing, hopefully, Aomine drops in too even, Kise too.

Hanamiya nearly smashing Kuroko there and then the scenes where it seemed like he was going to explode but then went just kidding was extremely hilarious. His VA's and his bakas is too funny, then the ending of the match when he was just kidding yet again. I want to see him stick around. Best minor moment was Izuki getting a score from the inside, and the teardrop from Hanamiya
