Oh you crazy folks getting PS4 at launch. It isn't out yet where I am (and in fact, since I'll probably be importing a Japanese version, I wouldn't be able to get it for a few months either way), but even when it does come out I'm not planning on getting one right off the bat. Imma wait until it actually has software I care about and stuff.
Though I do admit I have a bit of healthy gamer-lust for the hardware. But still.
Valvrave 18
Ahahahahaha great episode. This is the kind of crazy drama I like to see from Valvrave.
is a wonderful character and just what this series needed, and it's great to see

Haruto's mad scientist father
L-Elf finally reunited with his beloved Lieselotte. I hope he does succeed in "abducting" her, since everything is better with moar princesses.

Not really interested in a PS4 right now. I'm just feeling rather meh in wanting to watch anything.
Same, not going to get one until next year. The launch games were unappealing to me.
last guardian for the last generation of consoles

The day a release date for Last Guardian is announced is the day GAF goes down for two days. Possibly more.

MEGANEBU! Episode 6 MR
Lorenzo for the best one. I like this HIma Council and hope they stick around in the remaining episodes, could have a larger role. Otherwise just the same typical things we love about Meganebu! continuing to chug along.

Its only been 5 years. Halfway there ;__;
I say Versus can retain that title until it actually releases.

Wow. Miusel was really adorable in this episode.

True, but I'm betting Last Guardian doesn't get announced until after Versus.

Great to see more people picking up this show especially to see some impressions of where the series goes. Looks like we just need Jexhius to occasionally do an explanation of an elaborate scene in Macross every once in awhile to drum up enthusiasm.
For what it's worth, Macross has a firm place on my list of Shows I Totally Need To Watch At Some Point.
...There are quite a few shows on this list. Someday, when I find enough time to actually watch things that aren't currently airing (and get through the rest of Precure...), I'm going to have a lot of awesome stuff to work my way through.
And speaking of awesome stuff,
Kill la Kill 7
HOLY YES MAKO YOU ARE AMAZING. BEST EPISODE.
It was obvious it was never going to happen, but I kind of wish
the family could have just gone back down to their first, reasonably-well-off lifestyle upgrade instead of being dropped all the way back down into the gutter. That house looked like a nice place to live.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I know you're probably right.
Jexhius had to do an elaborate explanation after I'd started watching because I'm dumb.
Shin Mazinger Z 6
I tell you it is not legal for a show to be so good when it is technically doing a breather episode. Man I'm enjoying this thing, though. Super Robot Anime at its best here, folks.
I think it's more there's a degree of developing an eye for certain things.
I know. It will be glorious.
Yeah I thought you might have meant that.

No release dates? Anyway, looks like my February anime shall be Naruto Shippuden Movie 5 Blood Prison BD and Evangelion 3.33 BD.
Was hoping Valvrave would be an early next year release.

Not worth re-watching then.

Provided Funimation doesn't still have those obnoxious S.A.V.E borders or whatever on those releases I might just pick up those Strike Witches BDs.

Somehow I can't finish an episode with dry eyes. It's impressive how this series can nail both comedic antics - Yasabuto's hot pot battle with Hosoi - and a bittersweet atmosphere of je ne sais quoi - Benten gazing up at the moon. The familiar yet strange nature of the magical realism - even something so simple as the drinks lowered to Benten and Yasaburo via a conveyance - ties the whole thing together into one odd gem.
The animation was below the norm, due to being outsourced to Sakura Create, but the episode still looked good. The backgrounds never fail to impress:
Yasaburo daruma is adorable.

Diabolik Lovers Episode 8
It felt like one of the most well done cutscene moments in a game, the music was excellent and greatly complemented the action on screen with Cordelia as she was fleeing from Yours Truly. He had such a wonderful moment there savoring the blood, love it. The rest though was quite good until the end.

Though Subaru could hold back but even he gave in to Yui. Wonder what is his mothers story behind the locked tower and how he is implicated in with Laito, Kanato, and Ayato
Getter Robo 7
So it seems like Musashi and Ryo are starting to work together, but then again, it could just be that their shared desire to bone Michiru is what is leading them to do these things. Hayato also wants to bone Michiru, but he's a COLOSSAL DOUCHEBAG so he can't be a team player yet. They have to rely on him anyway to help fight Sonic the Hedgehog, but in the end Musashi gets to be the hero when he clobbers two Mechasaurs in one go and saves all of New York, er, Hong Kong, no um, Tokyo from the giant monsters.
ALSO IN THIS EPISODE: Ryo admits that he thinks that Hayato has a sexy body!

They will.
By the way..I was weak...
the S.A.V.E green borders are trully the second worst thing that happened to anime localisation in the last decade.
worst thing ever ?
the one piece 4kids dub.

That's what I tried to get an Onpu action figure many years ago ._.
Kill la Kill 7
Finally, the Mako episode where there is a lot of Mako to make us all Mako.
The only downside is that Mako wasn't as Mako as I'd like, but still, she had enough screen-time.
Valvrave 18
I see this show still has some more to give in the absurdity department. It's actually amazing.

Kill la Kill
Marathoned through 7 episodes today. The costume are silly and the and the action is absurd and I'm loving it. I was worried that it was going to turn into Ryuko just destroying everyone left and right after she got the second form of the suit but it's nice to see her lose every now and again.

"If I'm going to die anyway, I might as well let my death nourish someone else's life." I can see the merit in this philosophy.
That interesting conversation about the relationship between the eater and the eaten was bookended by two incredibly beautiful scenes featuring Benten. She seems to be at the heart of the show's most evocative scenes.

Aw, sweet. Assuming I have money, of course, Evangelion 3.33, Jormungand, and S.A.V.E. Strike Witches releases are definite purchases from me.
