Did you guys even see Scrapped Princess?

Scrapped Princess was much better plotted and paced than Chaika S2. And I even liked Chaika during season one.
Yeah, I won't deny that Scrapped Princess was way better than this second half of Chaika has been going (although I read all those English SP novels which Tokyopop put out, and man, the staff did a lot of good work in making the material adapting those volumes not-terrible, even if it did mean skipping the entire first book! Shame that effort doesn't seem to have been replicated as successfully here)
This is amazing.

Show is about to really get moving now. INformation and revelations will come pretty quickly. Man this show is so good!
Also, if you want the full version of that gorgeously haunting song:

Absolutely incredible.
The real question is whats your opinion of Touka?
That last part was so hnnng. Rikka top tier waifu.
I rewatch a looooot of what I buy which is probably why I dont watch new stuff very quickly. A lot of rewatching happens with my friend as Im showing him new stuff.
Sometimes though its just watching the same favorites over and over.
Clamp did art for Fate/Stay
Beautiful!
I know that feel *pat pat
Man, ROD is SO GOOD. I dont know why its not more popular. It takes elements of James Bond and super hero movies and mixes it all together into one fun infectious cocktail. So stylish, so fresh, so action packed...how can people NOT like this?
Also, I will only say that the TV series DOES tie into the OVA.
Yomiko Readman is a top tier goddess.
Yama no Susume S2 - Episode 21
Hinata is a really good friend. Lots of sweet scenes in this episode. Otherwise it's mostly just the introduction of the big climatic climb. The huge flight of stairs was pretty funny. And I felt the concerns Hinata had about where their friendship would go after this also mirrors the thoughts of the audience - what will happen to the show when this arc is over? Will it continue? Is this the end? Dokidoki~

That Jackie Chan thread in OT introduced me to this great series on Youtube and I figured some of you guys might like these. They take a look at a variety of films from an editor's perspective with one about a particular shot from Wolf Children and another about Satoshi Kon's general editing style.
Aikatsu! Akari Generation 111
It's Raichi and Noel! So the Dream Academy episodes haven't been forgotten after all. Maybe Kii and Mikuru and Sora and everyone else from S2 can come back at some point. So Akari has her first fan, and Raichi helps him learn the ins and outs of being an idol fan so he can keep supporting her, while Akari learns how to do a handshake event. In some ways, it feels like a repeat of an early S1 episode, but tempered by the characterization and history the series has built up over its time on the air. Some movie promotion going on in the ending credits, but it'll be much longer before I'm able to see that.

Chocotto Sister Advent Calendar Day 04
"Advent Calendar" doesn't really work for a Valentine's Day episode, but it's the thought that counts. They're both holidays about giving gifts. That's not cool, Haruma, trapping your sister in a box in the closet on Valentine's Day. No chocolates were really given, but Chitose was super cute in doing so, and Makoto's becoming one of my favorite characters. The "drunken landlady/big sister" type isn't as visible in anime these days, but I remember a lot of them around the time that Chocotto was on the air.

Had it on repeat for 3 hours yesterday. Instant addition to my all time favourites.
I was mostly speaking of the ED
but that track is magnificent too. Though they seem to overuse it.Parasyte 10
Despite my many minor gripes with it, most of which have already been covered here, this was probably the best episode since the initial three. Good they went again for a swift execution and not a prolonged fight. They don't seem to possess either the budget or any idea what to do with those.
Still, I hope this is the last we have seen of "Parasyte comes to school, threatens Shinichi's friends, goes on rampage, is dealt with."

Yes, two movies. First is on cinemas right now in Japan. edit: gif is pretty decent, the cg in the trailer I watched a few months ago were more jarring.

I was interested then I saw the trailer and the head chomping scene. That was fucking hilarious. Especially the guy playing Shinichi screaming when he notices the eye. The equivalent of "naniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii?!"
And as much as I love anime, I have little need to check anime news sites. AnimeGAF will let me know whatever I need to know. Such as the Ore Monogatari anime

For those who don't know, Doug Walker is doing his Disneycember videos again, only this time going over and reviewing the Studio Gibli anime movies (Although focusing on the ones distributed in America by Disney though).
If you're not a fan of the Nostalgia Critic (which, I've heard that many people here don't care for), you don't have to worry. He's reviewing them strictly as himself and not his character and isn't focusing on making jokes or anything.
So far, he's reviewed Nausicaa and Castle in the Sky.
I guess I'll just put a pre-emptive spoiler warning, since I haven't seen that many Gibli movies and I don't know what he covers that'll be considered a spoiler to some of you. So yeah, just throwing that out there.

Hello Asanagi
Denki-Gai 10
Some people will say it's Nozaki, but for me, Denki-Gai has been a hidden gem of this season for combining some mature thoughts on love (mostly everything surrounding Tsumorin, especially this episode) with some sometimes lowbrow otaku humor. That contrasting tone makes the moments of each more effective. The moment with Director and Hiotan was a little suspect, but handled better than, say, the similar moment in Blue Spring Ride a season or two ago. Kameko, Sensei, Fugirl, everyone's adorable. The chocolate making lesson was my favorite part of the episode, a nice mixture of a cooking show spiced up with character-based humor.

Shirobako 9:
So, we've started to also highlight how CG is soul crushing work for everyone involved in it. Misa chose poorly. Shizuka keeps making mistakes on her path to being a voice actress, but at least she's made a tiny bit of progress here. But what was she thinking with that over the top bit?
The heart of this episode, and especially the ending, was really great. I loved seeing the director and writer get together and sort out the ending for the show, and seeing Kinoshita really get fired up and work through all of the little bits that had been nagging at his mind and come up with a new ending that fit the themes of the show perfectly was a great scene. There was so much passion there. They're not out of the woods just yet, but the biggest obstacle has been removed.

My sympathies to the CG staff of Kamen Rider Drive. At least those tires aren't restrained by things like "reality" or "accuracy" to anything but the toys. Which is difficult in its own way, but at least there's variety.
TIRE CHANGE. DREAM VEGAS.
The ending scene was more of what I want from this show. Business management is fine and all, but I came here looking for the creative side of what makes anime tick. And I'm still not seeing what makes Exodus! a "generic moe anime". Based on what little we've seen of it throughout the show, it's something even AnimeGAF would like and potentially declare Anime of the Season (unironically?). I think.
I'm really glad that their universe's version of GochiUsa is doing so well in the Amazon rankings. Now if only our universe's version would have a second season greenlit.

Maybe in the 15 episodes we have left she'll do the CG on Shirobako's version of Aikatsu.

As far as events that transpired here go - damn did that "sex" scene came out of the blue even with the explanation that the library gave for it. Earlier I thought queerats will turn out to be genetically altered humans or just normal people hidden under some illusion but given the size of the Queen that has shown up here, at least the latter option is out of the table.
Leave it to a Saint Seiya director to fuck things up. I thought it was an outsourced episode because it was sometimes reaching Reconguista levels of incoherence. In the pursuit at the beginning, we go from the group being together and the pursuers right on their heels, to Saki completely alone and not even running a second later. I'm not sure if it was a deliberate choice or a lack of budget because pretty much every more dynamic scene here felt unfinished. Satoru getting slashed with the spear felt like it was missing a few frames. And I think they tried to depict an assault on the tunnels with a shaking still frame. @_o Other than that: a jarring change in art style (that changes again during the episode though for more understandable reasons), poor integration of music and over abundance of close up shots, facial expressions that make no sense in the context of things that are happening on the screen. They didn't manage to ruin the pretty as usual backgrounds and ED is godly as always so all was not lost I suppose. Still, really poorly executed episode.

Cute and comforting show. I especially liked the episodes about getting Kokona off Mt. Takao because they showed a different side of Aoi where she can provide reassurance for someone else, which is character development in the context of what we know so far, in such a short time frame too.
