No, it's your normal everyday household cougar before it was killed and rebuilt into a creature of destruction.
Shit, I didn't even get the animal right.
What's mine like? Do I get one? I'm scared.
I can agree with this. Kind of rocketed off at the start but at least the end wraps things up pretty well. Loads of creative energy from the series, so I'd really love to see more. Not sure what the source material looks like in terms of volume, but it sounds like there is quite a bit if they were so inclined.Jinrui 11&12
Yes, I finally got around to finishing this....
I thought the ending was really touching in a number of ways, and even though I consider the first 2-episode arc to be the highlight of the series, this was still an excellent way to end the seriesuntil the second season
the sky's the limit when it comes to dreams, right?

Brave 10 - 5
This show is pretty terrible.
Isanami goes into Orihime mode
It didn't work well there and it doesn't work well here.
Anyhow, all of the "tension" brought about by the previous event is extinguished with three lines of dialogue from Anastasia. The dramatic build-up never earned just as the development . I am convinced that Isanami is as useless and dry as ever in terms of characterization as I did in the first episode.
To make matters even worse, Kamanosuke's wild nature is tamed easily by Yukimura. In other words, no slaughter-fest will be hosted at the Brave 10 home base.
Instead, the action in this episode is played through a scene of self-awareness for Saizo (by getting stepped on the head numerous times by Sasuke)...It's as if whoever wrote this was trying too hard to create a parallel for both Isanami and Saizo to grow, failing on both ends.
Final Note: So, you know how Rukuro sucked
into his eye? This time he warped rectangular image files from Saizo's brain into his eye. For something as abstract as memory, why display this type of transfer in such a laughable fashion?
Mad Pierrot,...it feels bad to watch, man.
This show is pretty terrible.
I present to you the most "intriguing" villain in history...
Isanami goes into Orihime mode
not wanting to be saved because it would only lead to more trouble on others' behalf.

This whole episode.
Still not feeling this arc one bit. It's also going too long without action or good comedy to back it up.

It's because it's Brave 10.
Freckles are one of the most unappreciated things in anime (and real life)
Hmm...I'm some chick. Doesn't really say a lot about her on wiki...
Oh damn. I can still remember the song in my head. I actually liked it.
Only saw about 50 episodes of Bleach.
It's a fun show.

I wouldn't force it on my 3rd worst enemy.
Yes. Its hilarious and cute and silly. You should watch it.
The OP/ED will be stuck in your head for days.

It's pretty funny. Has its own set of quirks and everything that help individualize it pretty well and seemed to pick it up a fairly sizable following. At times it can be very self aware, so if you like that sort of humor it's worth pursuing.
Fun in what way?
Like, is it "amusement park fun", "video games fun", "imagining what the writers for School Days were on" fun? Something else?
Fixed for accuracy!

Amusement park fun. It's just... Fun.

You know, fun.
It's just an easy watch. An ultimately frivolous show, basically, which is to its strength.
Cute girls doing cute things fun!
Robin chwan in Strong World is so sexy!!
I won't I swear
You better not!
Although I think you will like the depth of the show. There's a lot packed into those few episodes. Its well paced and feels like a much longer series than it is.
Robin-chwan is always sexy.

Like watching a little kid run around with a cereal bowl on his head.

I remember when dynasty warriors was just about shitty framerate, floor textures, weight in attacks, and mash square.
Has stuff changed?

That's the best kind of fun.
Like as in non-torturous fun. Actual fun. Non trolling fun.

That doesn't sound very fun.
It's only fun when watching the gifs. Otherwise it does get very repetitive.
I don't think I can think of anything to describe Nichijou
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
hmmmm... who knows
I see this scene as more interesting than you guys make it out to be, seeing the society they are in. All in that world is an artificial facade, and I suppose arguing over something even sporting a fake smile isn't going the clear the suspicions they can have of you, so better sweat it over... in that sense, him building slowly a passive-aggressive behavior towards his supervisor Akane (the back and forth seen in the opening comes to mind) would be something quite intriguing to see.
While it does produce some great .gif material it is a legit good show that has some surprising range on where its jokes go.

Never dealt with crappy framerate, the floors seem good, it doesn't seem like your attacks aren't doing anything or whatever and mashing square can only get you so far in hard and higher modes.
Best movie-original wardrobe in the history of movie-original wardrobes.
It took a bit longer than I expected for your spirit to be broken, but now you can finally appreciate it for what it is!

Yes! Leave it to Gainax!
And then there was some brocon going on afterwards. It was cute, hopefully this isn't the only time she shows up.

Children's silliness is awfully cute.
Yeah that was a good OP but the ED was even better and that's what I miss the most.

Man, this show. This time it's about avenging a space DJ who broadcasted on a pirate radio station to space truckers. It sort of fits with the rest of the show's older era scifi charm, I suppose, what with the round fishbowl helmets, cities in domes, and other such things that don't make a whole lot of sense. Then again, the reduced role of both the kid sidekicks & the requisite mascot coupled with the main cast basically being a bunch of bastards lets me forgive a lot. Interrupting their contact midfuck with an emergency call was pretty :lol too.
You're doing something right when you have your logo on your playing cards.

Generally you got to continually combo-ing the enemies otherwise they'll probably leap spear you into pieces. That or jump around continuing attacking them.
Mashing square will usually lead you to your death or it'll be doing nothing since they are blocking.
Knowing the appropriate strong attack to chain from your normal attack is vital depending on your combat situation, so you have to start mixing things up with crowd control, close combat, aerial, ranged, etc. maneuvers and learn how elemental buffs affect what your attacks do. Mashing just gets you killed on Hard and above because enemies do way more damage and you have to have faster judgment on how to clear your immediate vicinity of threats efficiently.

I'll PM you once I find something notable to appreciate!
Hopefully, Kamanosuke will find space in the future to put on another good show.
Indeed. That OP grew on me and I am not partial to the current one in the least.
