Well, after the Sun finally bowed to the Moon in this episode due to Florsheim's terrifying monster Hellwolf, I'm intrigued where the plot will go next.

It has it is issues yes, but is a lot better put together then some people would have you believe. Shit, it is better in some regards then the old 1990s anime in fact.
Looking back, Doug was a really weird show.
It became almost forgettable for me because of the release schedule and Toei. It definitely does something right, im not sure what exactly.

Woo, new Log Horizon soon, had lost track on that series. Who else is hype?
Well, that isn't the fault of the content. Anyway, it has better characterization of the Sailor Scouts, especially Sailor Moon and doesn't have to be trapped in MoTW territory every god damned week.
Not being serialized is exactly what it does right. When I watched the 90s cartoon as a kid, I had no idea what was going on in the main story because of the MoTW format.
Did you finish S1?
Did you give up on Destiny too?
I just realized this is the first week in half a year we don't have Onii-sama gracing us with his presence. S2 can't come soon enough, need that aunt Maya.

Yep, one of the few series I actually finished. By lost track I meant, when the new season would air.
More looking forward to watching this than starting S2 of Sword Art.
Its way better than the second arc of S1, but that doesn't really say much.

I played today with two of the people I regularly play with but yeah, pretty much. I might play occasionally and when new stuff comes out, but I've lost the desire/excitement to play.
Nobody's picked up Magic Kaito 1412, have they? Looked interesting.

Write sonnets and watch panties drop, imo.
Only if it's a crown of sonnets.
I want to say Crunchyroll, but I am unsure. There seems to be some gaps in the pick up schedule this season.

The characters are so happy in the ED.
I think my favorite moment is the complete lack of transition in between
and
Second favorite is the one everyone noted -
. The episode is a mess, editing wise. Which in animation is storyboarding for the most part. And Tomino is really bad at this.
Episode 3 is going to be great.

Bellri killing the Captain
Aida weeping about it after the act.
the interrupted explanation cut in by a nonsensical combat scene
Episode 3 is going to be great.

It bothers me that people are writing G-reco and not G-recon. If you are going to split words, at least split in between syllables!
Reconquista made me appreciate just what a masterpiece Aldnoah was. Thank you Tomino.

Mindfuck the episode.
I think its probably the first show where I really notice lack of detail in long and medium distance shots. Shit is annoying especially in the latter case.

I can't wait for
Chuu 3: Nobody stops this fucking train Chuu Chuu
In this season the protagonist doesn't deal with his extremely mentally ill girlfriend who can't even hold her boyfriend's hand because uguuu indirect kiss only with hands or some shit. Also he mercilessly physically abuses her when he is displeased with her actions, because sitting down to talk wouldn't be #hilarious
There's also an annoying girl who can't stop saying Death because engrish, and a girl who falls asleep and apparently nobody has called medical experts as to why she can't spend 5 seconds without sleeping.
edit: I just realized alongside KnK, this is the second KyoAni show with the protagonist hitting women. Maybe they should've done Fate Stay Night.

Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 2wei!
Honestly, I don't feel that having ufotable on this project instead of Silver Link would be that dramatic an improvement, or even an improvement at all. In every imaginable way, Silver Link has consistently delivered on every possible promise they could have made while being in charge of Illya's spinoff series. The fights are so incredibly beautifully animated that even ufotable should be impressed. Silver Link has literally put everything they have into this anime. The rest of the show is perfectly paced and scripted and faithfully captures the source material without any hesitation.
There is pretty much nothing else I could have asked for from this adaptation of 2wei! except that it take plenty of time and adapt the considerably longer second manga series properly. So this being only the first of split cours, as was done for Fate/zero, is pretty much everything I could have hoped for. I guess I have to count the days until the second half of the show premieres in 2015. In the meantime, onwards to ufotable's Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works series!

Bolded pretty much describes the entire series, although I still loved it.
Regardless of the music's origin, considering his skills I doubt Shiro Sagisu orchestrated that by himself.
Anything that has to do with a big orchestra, he always has someone to help or even carry him, someone like Masamichi Amano for instance in recent times.

Wait for blurays if they ever release? (Too bad for early digital shows)
Or are you talking about aspect ratio cause that's a different thing lol.

A little bit of recap and a little bit of how things are now in this episode. Not at all suprised to see Ru has been 'secretly' depressed the entire time since the end of the first season. On the same hand I'm not surprised at all she's carrying around Iona. No way in hell Ru was ever gonna throw her away or not use her, that's just not her character I think. I expect great things out of Iona trolling her constantly throughout the series.

So, as someone who has consumed 0 content from the fate series, is it ok to jump into the new one fresh?
I'd watch f/z first myself.

Yes. FSN is the start of the series anyway.

Huh, so fate/zero is the prequel right?
But if F/SN is where it all started first I guess I should be fine.

Watch Fate/Zero. If Fate/Stay Night has the same kinds of improvements for it's home video release you'll be better off waiting.

Alright, guess I'll give zero a whirl first.

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 7:
A pox on the people who thought this secluding process was a good idea as I had forgotten exactly what had happened in the previous episode. Anyway, as the title denotes we get the gist on Mamoru's backstory and motivations and from what I can tell they are pretty consistent with other versions of the story. Indeed the search for the McGuffin Crystal is heating up as The Big Bad awakens and I see this version is actually giving Queen Beryl her own motivations and backstory.
Anyway, one of the worst things the original series did in its first season was the mishandling of Sailor Venus, introducing her at a time when some major events were happening. Aside from telling the scouts where to go she quickly faded into the background and stayed in the background until the remembered to give her some semblance of her backstory many episodes later, and they even bungled that by having Usagi act way out of character. I truly do hope Crystal gives Minako a chance to shine and show people why she one of the more interesting sailor scouts.

I find that amusing since as I recall the manga actually disposed of Beryl fairly quickly in favor of making Matalia the focus of things at late stages. Then again, Crystal is not exactly playing with full rules of the manga.

I realise that I meant to watch this way back in 2012. Hey, at least I'm getting around to these things eventually!
Anyway, this was a very well maid, if somewhat predictable, little story. It neatly encapsulates a great deal of the tropes of these 'youkai' stories into a single narrative, even if it doesn't really do anything out of the ordinary with them.

FUNimation picked it... sadly that will prevent us from enjoying Over-Time's take on it given their experience with 'toku' shows:
Over-Time on Twitter: "Garo Anime dropped, also yes we're doing KR Drive http://t.co/ZfaS2SVjQq"
https://twitter.com/overtimesubs/status/518143994883084288
I didn't actually mention anything about orchestration but, yeah that's true... although he as always has kept a close supervision of that process since the beginning of the Rebuild of Evangelion project.Regardless of the music's origin, considering his skills I doubt Shiro Sagisu orchestrated that by himself.

From the New World Ep. 6
While they are prodigies,
While they are prodigies,
I don't think Satoru's abilities were built up enough. His feats in this episode stretched my suspension of disbelief because nothing he or any of the other kids had done prior had been on this level. While he did tire himself out it was still a bit much.
