It's fun, and neat to see some of the real-life locations that were used as models for locations in the show.

More reasons we should get a Food Smut adaptation.
I really like seeing this plan take action. It's very interesting and I am already wanting to see the next episode.

I love that episode so much I wrote a crazy long post about it. Episode 10 is superb.
I got the opportunity to see in this in a theater. Liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Really want to get that BD.

Aw.
The first half of this episode was basically a combination music video/recap.
Aw.
Love triangle is going to be in full swing now, obviously. Poor Touma. Haruki doesn't seem to think of her romantically at all, just admires her as a friend. I liked Setsuna making the first move on Haruki. Now... the moment of truth is upon us: Will this show handle its love triangle drama as well as it's handled everything else so far?

Yep, Sayaka is definitely the Tsun in Kojou's ever growing harem.

Did you notice how the episode used no music until the ED song at the very end? That made the whole experience even more painful and raw.

Huh... I might actually pick the show back now.
I was initially hoping that it'd go full crazy super hero from the early promo pictures, but I also liked the initial premise of the actual series. However, the introduction of the girls, who seemed very over the top compared to everything else in the show, kind of annoyed me and seemed to hurt what the initial episodes were doing. So, I had stopped watching the show in the last couple of weeks... but now that they're going full super hero I guess they aren't a problem anymore.
One of the most memorable aspects of the show as a whole for me is the way they brought in the ED each time. The episodes inevitably end in various bad places and then you hear that disjointed singing slowly fading in and it really enhances the effect.
I recently finished Persona 4: The Animation I thought it was pretty good, never played any of the games always wanted to play 4 especially. Awesome music in that series.
Currently working through Sword Art Online, on episode 12 it's good so far, heard many things about it taking a turn for the worst about half way through but not reached that far yet..
After looking at starting both Attack on Titan (hype, hype, hype) and Bakuman (got all 20 volumes and very much enjoyed it all)
Also can people recommend me some freaky, thriller, horror, gory anime please?

Beyond the Boundary Episode 7 - Color of Clouds
Well I thought the screen capture on ps4 was limited to just the menu and selection but even in episode on crunchyroll app is nice...now if they could work on the quality. For episode it had many moments of comedy and joy, particularly Akkey and Hiromi and even one of Mirai
.
The action still feels dull, something needs to spice it up.

when she stumbles in the house when Sakura is there and says that line about Akkey's wasite being more than hot for Hiromi, best thing all episode since the Nekkid Salarymen

Shiki, it is slow-paced though. I think it is good in spite of its pace though.

Nice on Bakuman, anime is amazing and really had great music (OST and songs chosen) as well as actually good pacing and perfections choices for voices (Nanamine for one, and Yuki Kaji there too). Only had one criticism and that was one arc not being animated. But them actually giving voices to characters in the in manga manga and some anime ops for stuff in the manga was one of the highest points of the anime.

Whoops. I only saw the first 7 images in the Amazon preview bar. Sorry.
Wolf Children case looks nice as expected. I better see a lot of these show up for people who can buy them...New anime came in. Looking forward to Wolf Children and One Piece:Strong World
I would have chosen "Give a Dog a Bone."
I shouldn't be allowed to choose these things.
Doesn't work, as the dog was doing the giving.
It works if you use it as a verb.
Dual!! Parallel Trouble Adventures 11
This was actually a really sweet episode. If I was ten years younger I'd've eaten this stuff up, and it is no wonder that people in the Mecha OT called this one of their favorites. Mitsuki and Kazuki finally got some time together, which was some great development for her, and the break from our usual adventures did not last longer than an episode, which is good. It was also nice to see Sanada and Rara work together.

Sawamura arrives, and he means business!
The music is still dumb, I mean holy shit, lyrics for the final scene... that make it sound like I'm watching a fucking Halloween special. Jesus christ, they're making light of Sawamura's character.
Takamura is such a dork though, but that's what we love him for!

How he hasn't had his license revoked is beyond me.

Whoa, there's a Garmillas general nicknamed the "Space Wolf"? Earth is fucked now if Leman Russ is going after it.

Desler doesn't actually seem so bad in this episode, relatively speaking. He respects his opponents, he shut up some blabbermouths, he helped out Schultz's family...I honestly expected him to have them all executed.

Coppelion Episode 7 - Haruto -
Stunning episode for Haruto, having Ibara out of commission for a bit allowed us to take in Haruto fully in all his glorious ways. Great skills and truly the personality needed in a cleanup crew

Disappointed we needed Sisters in this and that plan going all weird because of the pregnant lady. Id rather time was spent on the Sarcophagus issue. Which in speaking of, how did they even construct it in the first place if it is so dangerous that even people in hazmat suits cant even get close. I guess robots is a simple solution maybe, but then that is a huge construction issue that is probably beyond the scope of a robot capability.
I would never have expected it but I have seen alot of anime fans at my college, University of Arkansas. I'm a sophomore and as I've looked in just around a year it's popularity has boomed here. I've seen random people watching it in halls, in lunchrooms, talking about it in and out off class. Hell I've gotten some people you would never expect to like anime into it like musicians and jocks. Makes me happy.

Nice pick ups!
Anime is popular down south in general it seems like. Popular here too.
Possibly because of ADV and Funimation being located around Houston.
Wonder where its going.
Buying the whole guildhouse building?
White Album 2 #7 - Nice. This is all going to end in tears for poor Setsuna. I think less of Haruki too I think.
(Log Horizon)
I hope he buys the entirety of Akihabara.
(White Album 2)
Yeah, Haruki is sending out some MIGHTY mixed messages all over the place. I do hope it doesn't do too much "This girl or that girl" drama. I mean, it's a love triangle so it's obviously going to, I'm just saying.

Toriko Episode 126 Playing Dirty! Roaring Ahead! Brunch Overtakes Everybody in a Single Spurt!
Hilarious episode but now finally at the good part (physical stuff is boring since Komatsu cant do anything, but Brunch's tricks were hilarious).
Whoever voices the narrator needs to keep voicing, the Really!? scenes going with his start of episode comment is melodious.

Though with no Melk Knife its not looking good for him. Hope the ingredients treat him well.

WELP.

Aaaand one of the innocent nice girl characters is the one that ends up tasting first blood. All because of one of L-Elf's old buddies whom I'll refer to that young evil one as Little Sadist.
I love how casually L-Elf hijacked the entire school. He sounded like he didn't give damn about anything going on. This guy's awesome.
Wonder what the connection this new girl has to L-Elf. Wonder if it's his sister or something.

It was all worth it for that fight scene in the middle of the episode. I love it when there are really cool insta-transforms, and also when there are fight scenes set to music. One of the better uses of Makopi's idol career, even if it was a bit merch-heavy. With Davi putting on her headphones (which are buyable) and Ai giving the team the harp add-on for their iPods, which is also buyable and necessitates creating a giant magic circle to ring holy judgement upon thine enemies.
Of course the Regina that Mana befriended is still somewhere in there. And it's not just Mana who's going to get her out. (Even if it is mostly Mana.) It's clear Makopi's song had some sort of effect. I'm glad the show's not forgetting its minor characters in all this. Next week has the return of Reina, Alice's rival from very early on in the series. I know we're in the endgame, and it's really feeling like it now.
