Actually , she' wasted a seal to prevent archer from interfering , so she can't call him since she will be out of command seals.
I failed to make it through even episode one. Made my eyes bleed. Plus its a sports anime.

A perfect reflection of my feelings after watching the latest Psycho-Pass episode:
I still make everybody I know watch this video
RUNNING FROM YOUR LIFE, FROM SHIA LABOEUF
Stopped caring about #1 after Ping Pong because I realized nothing else was going to touch it.
I'm still surprised you not impressed with Dandy.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Shirou obviously can and does.
All according to Hiashi, Master Eugenist's keikaku
This is the year we also got Free! Eternal Summer.
Best Kyoani show in years.
Well, I agree.
It's really a pity that some people just can't get into new and interesting art styles. They often miss out on the medium's best content.
Yes, Ping-Pong is a sports anime. I never thought I'd like a sports anime either until I watched this. There's a lot more to it than people playing Ping-Pong, believe it or not!
Still, as with a lot of Yuasa's work, it's not for everyone. I'll at least hope that with the North American BD release it won't be as criminally overlooked as the rest of Yuasa's catalog.

THE RETURN OF EVERYONE'S FAVORITE GENIUS KLIM NICK
It would seem Bell's mom was implying Bell and Aida are siblings? I think that theory might turn out to be true.
Mask looks so goofy wearing the mask inside the space helmet and screaming BARARA all the time for no reason.
The end of episode messages keep getting better and better.
"ENEMIES YOU CAN'T SEE ARE TERRIFYING"
Thanks Bellri.
Direction in this scene was amazing. Bellri is very observant

Rin already waste two, she can't anymore.
Its much better than S1, satisfied enough with it.
That happened to me this year to, but with Baby Steps. And it was for the relationship stuff mostly. Plus I don't mind the sport in reality.
Now you know the reason I'm covering up my eyes. Still recovering from trying to watch Ping Pong. Even Aku no Hana was more pleasant to my eyes.

I am,I think it's a good show that I just don't like for the most part.

I wish they would give us an OVA.
Apparently Type Moon released some cool Fate Apocrypha art.

Why is the guy dressed as a mechanic underwater? Who cuffed him down there? Did somebody chain him up and then the room flooded? Did somebody somehow knock him out and cuff him inside of a pool? and why is the cop already wearing cuffs?
Kampfer's great fun! The only thing wrong with it is that it stops in the middle. S2 will never happen, will it...Need to finish the story!
And use the manga ending, not the anime one.
Hahaha! Starting episode 2 now!
Started watching Mushishi for the first time recently. I like it's somber mood, and Ginko is a pretty nice protagonist. I'm only on episode 7 though but it's interesting that the Mushi aren't portrayed as some ungodly terror but they still kind of do some messed up things to the villagers though after ep 6 it's obvious that, that isn't always the case. I have to say though, while the rhythm of the OP is ok it sounds waaaaay too much like a love song. It ends up just feeling really weird in relation to the rest of it.
Anyway, I'm enjoying it. I'm guessing season 2 is pretty much the same thematically?

Season 2 is pretty much more of the same, which in the case of Mushishi is more than enough. If you like season 1, you'll also like season 2.
Also, the opening theme for season 2 is better. To me, at least.

Goddam that drop in visual quality .
Even more obvious are part of the scene where stuff is happenning , but all we have is some background we don't care.
Worse is the way the episode was cut ..
And it worked.
A shame about the rough edges , because other wise this might have been a stellar episode.

and it's a shame since the episode itself was really good , with the characters giving their all in order to bring out the most stupid moments possible given the situation.
you don't say...

Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru Episode 9
Denki-gai 10
I hate love but love this episode. I am conflicted.
WELP! Shit has hit the fan now. Togo sure was very matter of fact how she explained that she basically spent the last few days attempting to commit suicide numerous times only to fail because the faeries will not allowed their prisoners...errr...heroes..die. I know saving the world is important but damn talk about losing every you value in return for it. Jeeze. I had a feeling this show would go grimdark and depressing and it sure went there. Now excuse me while I cry because that recording Itsaki left behind before she lost her voice was heartbreaking.

I watched the first ep of Yuki Yuuna. Liked it. Worth continuing?
Really enjoying Akatsuki no Yona and Your Lie in April, though the latter is really starting to drag. Wanted to watch Arimas performance without interruption damnit.

Fate/Zero 9
Really good episode. Aside from Arthur's shitty daughter moping because Emily didn't want to play with her, it was all really good. Mitsuru Kirijo snapped John Maynard Keynes' fingers until he gave her what she wanted and then she went and hit on Zack Fair. He, in turn, had some good back story thrown in to give him some much needed development. His development is basically the same as any Lancelot/Tristan type, but it was still okay.
The real best part of the episode, though, was my boys Harry Potter and Bronald Kingsley. From the drunken palling around in the kitchen to the boasting about finally getting some FINE PANTS!, it was off to a really light hearted start, but the two got some serious development in their scenes. We got to see HP getting praised for doing something good, helping him build confidence. BK Burger King's sort of fatherly support for him really shone in the following scene, as they looked at the full horror of BlueBalls the Pirate's modern art. Really cool how he managed to turn HP's crying and barfing at the sight into a sort of badge of honor for him.
Really like the way those two interact.

Ps: sorry about the double post but if i hadn't put my feeling down i know i wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight , that's how pissed i am

THE silence ! Goddam the silence between the sister when they were eating was painfull already , but it was even more violent by the fake hope . Can't believe it " i'm going to work extra hard on backstage " ...GODDAMMIT
All your potential ,your hopes , your future ? All of this stopped net.
Worse the scene in the restaurant where she tries to act happy , yet tsumble on the fact that the group is now broken and that nobody is getting better.
As if , this wasn't obvious , togo now goes full suicide on us .."the fairies have other plans"
ABOUT TIME! how the heck am i supposed to process this ? heck this would have made quite a painfull episode already BUT NOOOOO.

That phone call , OMG that phone call .
Shit just got real !!!
And when you think they haven't made it painfull enough , you see the notes, the books , All this hope that now amount to nothing , all of this , all this hapiness that is washed away.
Not if we needed already another confirmation that taisha is playing them all for stupid by sending different orders to karin , but then
THE VOICE
4 episodes without hearing her voice , and now , ALL THOSE FEELING INSIDE ME..
The introduction , the presentation , the song ...if you're not GOING SUPER SAIYAN with rage , something is wrong with you.
i can't believe it..
I can't believe they made 4 freaking episodes of build -up , just to maximize the painfull effect ...

Cross Ange 9
There is no explanation for any of the shit that happened in this episode. Why the fuck was it necessary to lure Ange out when she was languishing in fucking prison? How are you able to orchestrate this when your Empire supposedly no longer exists? If your Empire does exist why was the sign on the roadside crossed out. How the fuck did this woman not recognize her own daughter despite her looking exactly the same as she did years ago?
The fuck is wrong with this show's writers?

I expect either Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or Space Dandy to win NeoGAF's AOTY, with Ping Pong winning AnimeGAF.
