A fair answer. You should have watched the censored version like I (unintentionally) did!
Taisuke's behavior the next day made it seem that he really is that fucking dumb and naive that he didn't know what he was doing.

Apparently. I look forward to sharing in this communal experience with generations of AnimeGAFers to come.
Internally. You don't have to actually physically rewatch it as you never forget your first time.
Well we'll be lucky to get to Mars by the timeframe the show takes place. I do wish they spent more time on Earth and the problems there since it was so damn crucial to the final. They definitely spent a lot of time with minor details such as the footholds. It didn't feel particularly futuristic which is impressive in its own way I guess.

Because it's a shoujo.

While he's clearly wrong, Magi episode 1 was animated superbly and is far better than most in the genre, I mean ffs look @ how mediocre shit like Fairy Tail was when it launched, Magi is elite compared to that. And yes the big ones have amazing animation for certain fights but in general the quality is poor.
This is Nurarihyon no Mago.

The trailer for season 2 was better then the entire first season which was filled with bad animation, filler and heavily pushed a female character who was all but ignored (and was unpopular) in the actual manga after the first 30 chapters. Just DEEN being DEEN...
But yeah that shit is nothing compared to what we just witnessed in the Kouga arc! Wait.. lol. What exactly are your complaints with how episode 4 and 5 were handled? I mean everyone agrees the Amon Dungeon arc was done badly, not just too many chapters (16) crammed into 3 episodes but just poorly done in general. But the Kouga arc was well done, what's wrong with it?
Oh and Samurai Deeper Kyo was a travesty of an adaptation, Amon's arc is scene for scene compared to that one. Oh Studio DEEN again btw, lol @ Magi would've been better in DEENs hands, don't you know all the shonen blood on DEEN's hands? Rurouni Kenshin fillers after Kyoto is another one!
Nowhere near complete from the looks of it, doesn't matter as far as the current season is concerned. Balbadd is the end game for this season and what and endgame it is...
You can probably do 2x26 episode series of Magi right now.
Season 1 = Chapters 1-76
Season 2 = Chapters 77-148
Season 3 = Chapter 149-????
The way things are going might need a 4 cour season for the third one... shit bound to get epic.
Real talk, Soul Eater's the only one better in recent times, dat Nakamura animation. Though Balbadd shits over Soul Eater, anime and manga.
I just want to see Kana's character, especially in a second season! Dat Volume 13 cover among other things.
Yeah, I had that image of Taisuke in my head from the show itself.
Seeing it actually happen in the game only reaffirmed by judgement of him.
Oh no haha, it just went into a longer discussion than usual.
Edit: Misread your comment. Like Narag said, once you've seen it.. you never forget it.

Oh my god, this is like the first episode of Kingdom without any CG sans like one incredibly blurred crowd, two flashbacks, and the odd CG flag. Hell, not even the preview had any!!! GAMECHANGER
Now as for the plot, having 38 highly skilled young assassins
is pretty much the stupidest thing yet. It makes no sense given how small the various clan's are as it's far more efficient to just have that kinda role decided with actual results on the field. Clearly the one's in Assassin's Creed had the right idea. Fortunately, everyone realised that it was pretty dumb so at least it's somewhat self-aware.
The scene with Xin and Qiang Lei was pretty cool and helped show him to be someone who isn't as much of a hot-blooded moron as he usually comes across as. All in all, a surprisingly good episode even without the "amazing CG".

The wait's more painful than the one for A Girl by the Sea ;_;My Hype for Aku no Hana is at ridiculous levels. The manga needs to come out faster.

Personally, those two are as far as I went down that particular hole. I have Garzey's Wing sitting around here somewhere, but I feel like physically owning it is good enough.
That said, Earth Maiden Arjuna rounded out the hazing trio when I came to animeGAF. I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up yet.

Outside of the obvious expectations for Nagahama handling the animu, I'm also looking forward to the possibility that Oshimi's other manga get some attention, like Sweet Poolside.

Very high energy and fun first segment. Very informative but dull second segment. Lost all energy by the third.
Being the last episode of course they add in some jokes about it being the last episode and while the OP version 2 was fun, they didn't go all out on it.
All in all, like SZS, this show started strong, had good segments every once in a while, but did run out of energy here and there. It was enjoyable but I just wish it was more even.

I just assumed that was like an officer hat or something, part of some standard uniform kit. Certainly a rather odd choice considering no one else dresses up in a historical uniform.
If there's a dearth of battle scenes it will be pretty much exactly like Five Star Stories.

This was a very good, impressively paced episode, as several characters are given further insight and development. The
conclusion was a noticeable shift in tone that worked surprisingly well. As such, there was a much improved balance between the dramatic elements and the moments of humor compared to the last episode, in which it was noticeably lacking in the latter.
Chizuru is comparatively dull, so the partial focus on
throughout the early portion of the episode was occasionally stale, though, for the most part, her scenes were better than expected, since the majority of them were of an amusingly comedic nature. The vague, but emotionally resonant complication at the end was a bit disconcerting, but

Haru and Shizukus relationship has been excellently illustrated and realistically developed throughout the show; so much so that the temporarily

is occasionally tiresome, especially now that it, along with the flawed adherence to

. The entirety of the final sequence, combined with the
, wonderfully illuminates the fragility of
, as she struggles with a plethora of subtly implied problems that she has with
and her seemingly insurmountable desire to alter that fractured
by somehow proving herself through an unerring diligence towards success through schoolwork.
The character interactions remain the strongest element of the show, due considerably to the fantastically diverse reactions. As such, though diminished, Haru and Shizukus interactions remain satisfyingly compelling. Natsume continues to be one of the best aspects of the show, as she's an incredibly enjoyable character. I'm hoping that she'll eventually enter into a relationship with Sasayan, since their interactions exude an immensely natural romantic chemistry and their personalities complement each other extremely well. Though she appears to be a relatively unimportant character, Chizuru, so far, seems like a mediocre addition to the cast. She's definitely likable, but not nearly as interesting or engaging as the others. Despite this, I loved her
. Thankfully, this episode makes it abundantly clear that she won't be a perpetually interfering sort of rival, so shell likely develop into a better character as the story progresses.
The production values were quite inconsistent throughout, particularly the animation. On the other hand, the direction was a definite improvement over the occasional mediocrity found in the previous episode. Musically, I thought the episode was great, since the majority of selections were used quite effectively, as they consistently established an atmosphere that perfectly accentuated the accompanying moments.
All in all, Tonari continues to thoroughly impress with a highly enjoyable story, intriguing character development, and it's exceptionally likable cast of characters. Since, due to the title of the next episode and the ending to this one, a temporary
has likely been set in motion, I think it's quite likely that another rival will appear as
. Of course, I hope I'm wrong, and I definitely hope the rival won't be Yamaken, but it appears to be slightly foreshadowed throughout the episode, particularly in the latter half.

I don't really care about anything that isn't action in this anymore. The minute or so of it in this episode was good, but everything else was zzzzzzz. Though that could just be the fact I'm watching it when I'm very tired.

The final showdown of the season is coming up, which I can only assume is what they saved their budget for. Though there was a pretty nifty little action bit that was really well done in this episode. Otherwise, just more harem hijinx. Of course, if you're me, that doesn't mean it was bad.

Good episode, no real complaints other than that I think they should have played some more powerful music during the whole

Fuckin' Kumeta, this episode was so meta my brain hurts. I guess once really is enough sometimes! Anyways this was a great ending to a pretty damn funny series. The Part B bits kinda sucked but they even called that shit out in the last episode so I can't hate on 'em all that much. Definitely worth watching, especially if you need to scratch that SZS itch.
Now bring on the OVA!

Well I mean it does contain all 25 episodes of the FINAL seventh season.
