Mari Okada is special. She gives anime stories a certain flair that must be experienced.

I personally love her work. Everything she does have appealed to me thus far. Although she hasn't topped Toradora!

Selector Spread WIXOSS 8

There's a fine line between good taste and madness that Mari Okada likes to blaze past at some point in her original works. We finally get there in this episode with BRS TV-tier world building, rape imagery, and

debilitating mechanical pencil stabbings LOL.

 

[Sakura]

I'm probably in the minority but I think I prefer the original Kanon anime series.

Because her eyes occupies 80% of her face, so the mouth and nose have to be very close to them.

The Legend of Korra: Season 4, Episodes 12 and 13

Spoiler

The maniacs, they did it, they actually did it, they had the balls to hook up Korra and Asami and Verrick and Zhu Li get their moment of happiness as well. I suppose Opal and Bolin are still a couple but they are just going to have to be happy with the background. Also, what a fucking waste Kai ended up being, all that time spent building him up and he ends up being a background extra. Oh yes, other things happened, all and all it was actually a pretty decent finale, nowhere near as good as season 3 but not shit your pants embarrassing like the first two seasons were. I can walk away from the series happy enough, I have my problems with this season no doubt, as I still think Kuvira was still mostly in the right and the experiment in democracy they are proposing is very risky. I suppose that is an issue for a future comic. Goodbye Korra, you will be missed sort of.

Yes... but it isn't like eastern anime fans are better!


Imo, Mushishi and Ping Pong should be on top, and Nozaki-kun, Haikyu!! and Barakamon should be higher, FSN lower, and well, I would make many more changes but those feel the most important ones.

Ping-Pong is actually rather divisive for a couple of reasons but the big one is the artstyle, some people just hate how it looks.

Psycho Pass 2 Overall Thoughts
It was alright I guess. I did not finish season 1 for some reason, so no comparison here.
What should I even say about it really? I think it tries to tell a meaning, but after watching the last episode, well I don't quite remember it anymore, and just don't care.

But still, its an enjoyable anime that maybe you could get something from. I do recommend it

The story is basically society is fucked and everyone sucks except for Akane because her colour will never change and she can make decisions without some higher entity telling her what to think. She can also see brains in cubes without screaming!

 

[Turin Turambar]

until You come to me

Goddamnit Anno, the expo is supposed to be about animators (this is barely animated) and creativity (this is again Eva)

Stop doing Eva, try making something new.

Hell, this feels less a short, and more a marketing move for the next Eva film.
