Aria the Natural 02
Much better than the first episode. I don't know what they were thinking making Venice's most notorious womanizer into a giant cat...
Anyways this episode explores the city looking for treasure. What they found isn't unexpected and a great way to conclude the episode. Aria seems to know where to look whenever Akari is looking for something. I'm beginning to think these mutated beasts they call cats actually built Neovenice.

Oh look Rita saving asses and connecting the dots together about Amira, she suffers so much hanging out with these idiots but I guess somebody in this group actually has to take care of business.
Jeanne d'Arc a best.
Great episode. Farvaro actually surprised me
in that he didn't freak out and go into a blind rage against the demon who killed his father like you see so many other characters do in anime. Props to Kaiser as well Loved the demon's cockiness through the entire fight, really made the entire thing a joy to watch since it was clear from the start that our heroes actually posed little to no threat at all to him.

Log Horizon s2 08
Crosspost from OT
Finally got around to watching the latest ep. Really beginning to notice how terrible the animation looks, if I'm being honest. I mean, at least it's mostly more solid than a lot of other anime, but this could look so much damn better... oh well. Luckily the action and script are still tight. It's not so bad as to be completely distracting, but it verges on the edge at times. Particularly with an action-heavy episode like this.
Still, it was pretty cool.
Really looking forward to next episode. Anything to get into the head of the villain with glasses.
Did anyone pick this up to dub? Somehow I doubt it :T
/edit I was a tad annoyed that crazy murderer guy was

They don't seem to have taken into consideration the fact that they just removed the barrier though... like... the ramnifications thereof... but still, the way they twisted the flavour text (I think the most interesting part was that the flavour text actually became about Akatsuki herself) and then kind of made it all about her, that was actually kind of heartwarming.

basically just a crazy murderer guy and had little to no interesting backstory. If I'm not mistaken he was polishing the armour back in Ep 2 or 3 or something, right? And he walked past Akatsuki that one time I guess.
If you like Bebop and Outlaw Star, you should definitely check out Trigun.
Indeed
On a semi related note, there's apparently an anime set in hundred years war coming this winter.
Oh, you are in for a TREAT
This show is so wonderfully fucked up and has an incredible soundtrack.
I like KyoAnis recent way of showing a girls emotion through her hair, similar to some Miyazaki films.
That bag of potato chips must be like Terra chips. Sealed by the force of the sun.
Oh this is so good. Please continue.
Great article. Easy to read and well written points. I dont have much to say other than I agree with basically all of it.

oh happy days when somebody starts watching Gintama. Remember what we tell everybody here: show is only ok during the first 20-25 episodes, then it turns amazing afterwards. So 9/10ths of the show is great.

Way to cause an hm... interplanetary? incident.
Money trouble, working for government officials with big schlongs and a pinhead prince. Luckily everything works out and lives gets ruined.
Yeah, I remember that.

Really interesting article. That was a good read.
Well, the show's all right balancing what it's got so far. I'm really interested to see how KyoAni takes it after the first series. With one show being funny and filled with hijinks and the other focusing more on the serious stuff.
I really should pick this show back up too. Perhaps I'll get around to it after I finish all of FMP.

Seriously though this scene made me laugh more than I should of. I basically spilled out my juice while watching this part.
Its pretty hilarious but Tomoko is adorable. I want to hug her.
Poor miserable thing.
Of recent shows I think you might like Non Non Biyori, Barakamon, Tsuritama, Jinrui, From The New World, Gargantia
Its all contained here and more specific show OT's but in here anything anime related goes.
Its not really that type of show, but also the first episode was shot in a unique perspective that the show doesnt carry forward to the next episode. It becomes standard viewpoints.
Take this advice and further add Makoto. Third place is up to you!

Dramatic faces for all.
And a joke that's impossible to translate. At least Gintoki managed to do a hard day's work against his will.

Best day ever.
Come home to a package adorned with glorious Chitoge-sama, and a nice full-body poster.
Gonna be nice when I have one for all four girls because their bluray art was all really fucking cute (however Chitoge's was the best by far).
Seeing her huge grin when I opened the bluray case brought a smile to my face.
Fuck yeah.
Im supposed to receive this and a bunch of other stuff today!
Shes the worst girl but I loved Nisekoi so I look forward to all 4 girls getting a cover.
Of those comedies, you cant go wrong with any! Also add Sabagebu to the list if you take a liking to Binbougami Ga's protagonist.
Also check out Vandread and Nadesico!

Sadaharu makes his debut. Three times! And he's a dog god as well.

Cardfight!! Vanguard: Link Joker Episode 155 & 156 (engDub)
Pretty epic duel with Takuto and Leon facing themselves in these selfcest inspired duels. The cards were pretty epic used. Enjoyed Takuto's a bit more than Leon's just for the sake of the cards used and the Limit Breaks employed. Best cards were easily Knight of Passion, Bagdemagus, the always pleasing Link Joker clans Star-vader dragons, Star-vader, "Omega" Glendios, and of course from our favorite Gold Paladins, the amazing Salvation Lion, Grand Ezel Scissors. Takuto is much better with Gold Paladins than Aichi Sendou ever was. Hopefully things will stay true to this with the next episode.

So now that Arata has two people to fight for, things are progressing nicely. A day off like this is a good chance for more character interaction. The revelation that everyone embodies the opposite of their respective sin is a nice take on this motif. As Levi said, she's not envious of anybody, and Lilith is the kind to think dirty thoughts are bad. She's not like, say, Twoearle. Not sure what was up with the Hijiri-alike at the end, but the mystery continues to grow.

its the most clever harem anime youll ever see.
Its sort of a bunch of stories about various girls Araragi meets and their backgrounds and such. A lot of scenery chewing and lots and lots and lots of words.
Start with Bakemonagatari, then Nisemonagatari, then it gets complicated from there.

So, this time they're helping a sick old pervert.
Gintoki has an inspirational speech about wetting oneself and... the ending is actually a bit touching.

I believe the order is Bakemonogatari > Nisemonogatari > Monogatari (Second season) > Hanamonogatari > Tsukimonogatari (unreleased).
From what I can remember it's basically the main character Ararararagi-san meeting these different female characters and interacting with them/solving their supernatural problems.
I marathon-ed through Bake, Nise and Mono like 6 months ago after hearing good stuff about it. It's ALOT of dialouge. I can't say what "season" I like the best, but more what situations and characters across all of these I prefer.
Overall it didn't live up to what I imagined it would be, and quite frankly some arcs with uninteresting (to me) characters was hard to get through. But I enjoyed the series as a whole nonetheless.
Give Bakemonogatari a few episodes, or atleast so you've been introduced to a few of the cast. Just remember that Monkey and Snail is best. Speaking of which I still have to watch Hana..

Sometimes the characters do or say things that I don't expect humans to do or say in those situations and I'm wondering what the hell is going on.

bad gameplay lol
Watching the iM@S movie, and what the hell @ the weird random part at 36:14 that looks like some strange rotoscoping or something? Really, really jarring.
wait. what?

The only cat hear character where you can't sqee no matter you try in anime.
That doesn't make her awesome but she's decent as far as gintama characters go.

I guess this is a One Piece reference then?
Gintoki got a hangover and uses the toilet without washing his hands. And winners don't sell drugs.

Even after the beginning I would say it's pretty much on/off series. Some awesome episodes, some good episodes and some rather dull episodes.

only some very light drop in quality around the 50th episodesbut that's all i recall.
The only issue I had was the generalisations, treating it like a genre rather than a medium, but you address that and I understand why you chose to do that so no problems with me! A fun read, I may have to link it to a friend of mine who's hesitant to try anime.

Good. Hope that's with a generous printing too.
Yeah. It's also odd because it's not like it was a scene with a lot of action that may have benefitted from rotoscoping so the slightly mundane nature of it made it stick out even more.
