It has it all yet in the end it has nothing , but i won't tell much , you should embrace yourself with what you're seeing because there is a BEFORE and an AFTER.
I'm intrigued ... i'm considering watching it now .
*puts into the backlog list ..
Now the hard part will be to clean up my backlog list before i can watch this.
You're right it's been 3 episodes already , time to get back to daily life now.. I hope we'll have an arc with the class rep soon.
Ah Ah
No way kyoani will waste ressources on idol or music stuff , This just doesn't sell !
Wait why am i crying ?
It's pretty .... it's also entertaining not worrying about the silly things
Also best mother of 2013/2014.

Because, really, you want a third K-ON series than some more Hyouka nonsense.

Lovely Complex might be what your after.
Of course. Though you should probably want to hurry up and watch the movie.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I think they're mostly interested in the comedy bits, so if there's any shows with similar comedy without romance that would probably work too.

Doki Doki Precure - 39 - Ace attorney edition
Not bad for a 3/4 season episode .
So the precure have improved, not only in fighting power but in skills too.
It feels good that FOR ONCE , the heroines do not fall to a stupid scheme, bell attempt was ridiculous easy but the way they saw throught it was good .
but anyway , when precure heroines are getting too smart that just means that there is something else ... And there was !
The long awaited regina is BACK ! Mana again talks to her about LOVE , about spending a long night together "talking" ..Gezz Mana , i know you still want that harem but you're so blunt !
The episode (being a mid season episode ) was not bad, it was decently animated so it was much enjoyable , the fact that regina is back is yet again another reason to rejoice ... and everything flowed together properly .. i like that
Too bad that after raising the stakes , we're back to a regular episode next week ..
So now this episode gave us enough hint toward the ending so here are my predictions:
Any dokidoki precure followers want to see my theory ?

Yeaaaarh.Dark regina is cool , i still enjoy mischef regina but i'd take any regina i can.
So now this episode gave us enough hint toward the ending so here are my predictions:
Princess Anne , when she was struck while escaping the trump kingdom Was separated into .... 4
1 - Her body
2 - Ai
3 - Regina
4 - Aguri
The way i see it , Ai got her "potential" , Aguri got her knowledge , Regina got the darkness part of her heart ( that is present in everyone as experienced in the dokidoki serie ) and her body was left. All the part have an uneven amount of power , but all of them have a bit
This would explain all the forshadowing so far , including the clashes between Ace & regina, aguri , feelign when she went into trump kingdom , why bell and the others didn't know about regina at first , why regina can use the spear ( cure ace can probably use it too ), also explain the freaking time limit on cure ace.
Now if this is true that means that the finale will be a gigantic mess ( because as of ep 39 ai is still a baby ) , because unless princess anne stay is her ice prison forever , either regina, aguri , ai or all of them has to disapear... and honnestly i can't wait to see how they will deal with it.

I-its n-not like I'm watching it because of your posts, B-Baka!
Damn, the animation in episode 6 of the new Yozakura Quartet is nuts. The animation has always been better than average, but this episode just took it to another level. I don't understand why Touka was sitting in the car the entire time, but otherwise this episode was hype.
Also it might've just been me, but I thought the pacing was great. The slight breaks and following buildups kept everything exciting and, for me, the comedy was on point. I love the soundtrack too. Lol, I can't stop editing this post to add more praise to the episode.

Well... The same kind of comedy as those other shows. But I guess that would be hard to find without the romance bits?
I second Acchi Kocchi but it can be kind of slow too.
Hmmm. Maybe parts of My Little Monster

Ok. I'll try showing Toradora next. Thanks again people!
Cant go wrong with it. Maybe even make more Taiga converts.

I guess this is where the deaths start stacking up. I wonder how many people will die this time.
At least with Daisuke he died doing what he wanted. I'm still annoyed at how "destiny" forced Fuma to play his role against his will.

Yozakura Quartet- Hana no Uta 6
Pretty good action-packed episode. Hime was pretty awesome

When's Non Non Biyori?
EDIT: Oh that's right, I watched Wolf Children yesterday. I'm still not over those feels
I cant wait to finally see it.
Not long now.
It'll be worth the wait, definitely. I'm glad it's a 2012 movie so I can still vote for Non Non Biyori for anime of the year.

You're welcome to your opinion, I'm talking critics-wise. The show throughout its first two seasons was highly loved, it began to slow down in its 3rd and the fourth just ended really bad. Nobody is denying that. But 2 great seasons, one solid 3rd season and a bad 4th one? Not every one of the greats have been good throughout. Someone out there stopped watching Breaking Bad because season 2 was so "boring". Same with the earlier seasons of the Wire.
Going back to animu, I've been loving the Attack On Titan OST. I listen to it everywhere I go and friday during one of my many long trips with friends in the car we pumped up the first song at full volume. DAT CHOIR.

UK news: the All the Anime delayathon continues. Turns out they hired a bunch of monkeys to handle their case printing for their Perfect Blue BR + DVD combipack and the DVD version of Cowboy Bebop and they cocked it up, so they're having to do it over again. Both have a new date of 2nd December.
Wire S2 arguments here we go. Zigggyyy!

Yozakura Quartet - Hana no Uta 6
Just as good as the last episode, maybe even better. The animation continues to be mind-blowing, and this episode was a showcase of absolutely wild effects animation all over the place, especially in the last scene. The hand-to-hand action is no slouch either. The direction is again sharp, with cool transitions, and the pacing keeps everything moving fast but not too fast while balancing action, drama, and humor deftly. The cast chemistry is really shining with everyone's individual skills being put to use somewhere. With this arc, Yozakura has become my most anticipated airing show.

I got a real chuckle out of Hime at the end essentially saying, "Akira, go back to the kitchen!"

Since the Japanese BD and US BD releases were/are in 2013, it counts for 2013 voting.
Dokidoki 39
I've finally caught up. It's kind of soul-crushing to think about how busy one has to get before they can no longer spare 30 minutes a week to watch sunday morning cartoons.
Anyway, Dokidoki is as great as ever. The episodes about eating your carrots and brushing your teeth were pretty painful, and the episode about Rachel was mighty impure, but overall the show continues to impress.
Mana's swag makes me happy.
I've seen this theory around. It's as sound as any other, I suppose.
But hey, Dokidoki has hardly gone by-the-numbers so far, so I really have no idea what's next. I've been hoping for an ending like this since the beginning. But maybe it'll be something no one predicted at all.

I have a hard time imagining good-side characters disappearing forever in a modern Precure. If nothing else, Mana definitely won't stand for the loss of 2 (potentially 3) of her harem members.
Personally, I'm betting on the last treasure coming into play, and by their powers combined,Captain Planet Ange will be miraculously revived without losing anyone. Maybe not the most interesting development, but it seems to me the most likely.

I'll be surprised if i get my copy of Perfect Blue at all at this rate. I hope there won't be this amount of fuck ups for Gurren Lagann.

Strike the Blood 06
This show literally can be described as low budget Majutsu No Index. But that's not a bad thing as I like that show, and this one doesn't have loli girls (Even the younger one/main love interest at least looks a bit older physically).
As to this specific episode, it was mostly set-up for more harem and a future serious episode. I don't mind, my issues with harem is that best girl 90% of the time doesn't win.

She is struggling , resisting but the outcome is inevitable..
One could argue that the power of love and friendship will turn the tables , but you're right and that's why i wrote that it might become a mess because they will have to solve the "problem" in the finale without killing characters .. That will be quite difficult.

Makes sense. I mean nevermind the OP where
Ace and Regina are standing together.
Although... The time limit for Cure Ace hasn't been relevant at all since they killed off the Selfish rejects, it's safe to assume she dooesn't have it anymore.

Wire Season 2 was great. Season 5 was the clunker.
I'd say you are greatly overestimating BSG's critical reception if you think it's regarded as one of the best TV dramas ever.

Samurai Flamenco Episode 5
Seeing the jealously in the back with whoever is on the end of the text screen about Goto only being interested in Masayoshi was hilarious. Even more since she was like him not seeing Masayoshi was making him unhappy. I hope Goto and Masayoshi can meet back up and meet common ground again, was always the best part
Kind of want more songs and more Masayoshi being happy.

which I guess is certainly going to happen now that he finally parted ways with Flamenco girl. Flashy skills and great singing voice but pretty aggravating and making Samumenco take a backseat sulking wasnt good.

No lolis ?
Not sure about that
Mage teacher is a loli , so is the new "maid"
But you're right on that aspect strike the blood is much better than index so far ( but index has much more intresting "ladies" later.
The time limit for cure ace is still there, it probably has been extended once she got the lovely pads .. if it was not a problem anymore they would have talked about it
KirbYuuYuu

Problem being is that the "extension" hasn't been talked about either. Who knows, the movie might have some details considering what part of the show it takes place in, but for right now, the time limit isn't really relevant.
...Someone else actually noticed this before me, but I gave it a few episodes to verify his statement.
