Watch Kanbaru's arc in Bakemonogatari!
Kokoro Connect isn't very good but Inaban is ultimate best girl #1 in it so maybe an episode of that too.

So what are people's opinions on riddle story of devil?
Tries too hard to be serious and dark, not worth it.
That's a good lookin package. Armin is hot.

Had the same feeling after reading the manga, but thought the AssClass style setup could prove interesting. Ah well.
This is basically the only thing I know and care about with Attack on Titan.

Follow her vastly superior work, Loveless, instead of this mess.

What's funny is that you're talking about the episodes they created before they ran out of time/money.

Huh, didn't know it's by the same author. Had it somewhere on my reading list. Might move it up a bit.

Sawano wouldn't be so hated if he wasn't so disgustingly prolific. Not only does he create pretty bad music (for the most part) but he does it for all your favourite shows!

Skipping an episode of Sailor Moon?
There are episodes that deserve to be skipped, as you'd expect in any series with literally hundreds of episodes. I don't personally know which ones, having only seen it all once, but they certainly exist.

That's an underwhelming comment for EoE. Usually the comnents are very positive, very negative and usually very wtf. I'm sad.

Well, it doesn't really matter where people were located geographically, but essentially, yes.
Yeah I let it sit for a bit, Asuka lived. All is well in the world, thank god they made this movie. I can honestly say I can leave the series behind with a positive look.
Its a shame that 01 didn't really do any battling, it was good to see Asuka kick ass.

Can't wait for you to get to Greed Island and then Chimera Ant, lol.
It's all that mattered to me. The last line is the best in the movie too.
When I saw her laying on the beach, my reaction was "Fuck yeah, holy fuck series redeemed"
So what happened to every other human on the planet...?
What if he like it?

Greed Island was awesome though. A step down from Yorknew sure, but how can you dislike the arc where
the gang plays deathmatch dodgeball with Hisoka?
I love it!!!

Togashi was really interested with the nitty-gritty mechanics of the system around the time of the NewYork arc, but appear to become less interested in them over time.

Oh like you wouldn't want an video game or MMO with Hunter X Hunter's kind of class system.
I mean,
Enhancer, Transmuter, Conjurer, Emitter, and Manipulator? (Though I don't know how Specialist could be implemented) Think of the possibilities!

If he's having trouble with the pacing of the series during the section where the anime is trying to rush through the manga he's going to really be suffer when he reaches the part where the anime is trying to stretch the manga material out.
This show is really one of the best. Every episode is high quality.

Kino isn't the best.
Toad is the best.

I loved it. Absolutely loved it. If EoE didn't exist my opinion would have been the polar opposite.

I prefer to call her slutty Chaika.
She's not THAT slutty looking. Her hair is amazing though.
I like it, but the anime doesn't take enough time for their characters. Most of them die before you really know them, even with flashbacks and little scenes. It would be better the anime had 30 minutes per episodes or double the episodes.

Kill la Kill - 10
With more backstory, more action, and more intrigue in this episode, things are getting really interesting, really fast. Take that and add in some classic Mako comic relief, and this was a fun episode. If there's anything else I should note that some people may have a bit of a problem with, it's

Ryuko's new transformations/abilities. Having so many new ones come out of nowhere did kinda feel like an ass pull, but nearing the end of the episode Aikuro notes how much Senketsu is changing too quickly. That leaves me to believe that I'll learn something about that soon enough, so I'll let it slide for now

My short summary of what happened, btw
Third Impact happened, everyone's mind got fused into one. Every secret, weakness and thought is revealed, but there is also infinite understanding (though limited individuality!). Shinji feels that he finally understands the hearts of others and is understood, which finally make him want to "try again" and interact with other humans in the old fashioned way, where he may be hurt. As the medium of the Third Impact, he can cancel it and so he does it. People with enough individuality, strength of heart and who wishes to be human again will recover their shapes (we see Asuka and Shinji, but we have to imagine the phenomenon happens to a decent % of the human population). Rei, as being part of an angel can't return.
In the shore, Shinji gets his wish and return to human life. Alas, ironically, the decision to return was easy when he was in heaven in communion with everyone else, once he is an individual again, intermediately he feel doubt, fear, loneliness and other "nice" human emotions, that makes him feel frustrated and enraged which is why he strangles Asuka in the mid of his mindfuck. Asuka remind him a bit of part of what they felt inside the Third Impact when they could feel each other, though this time with the simple human touch, which stops him.
The End.

It's in joke, that isn't her behavior but you know..
She is like Chaika. But with more tits. And kinkier frilly undergarment. And a hot red/black outfit. So in my mind, a thought was formed. Slutty Chaika.

Why am I enjoying this so much? Watching LN adaptions with interesting protags is still an odd feeling for me. Sora is up there with Hachiman and Maou for recent interesting LN adaption leads. The girls are cute too for whatever that is worth (not much nowadays) and the plot is interesting enough. Will keep watching. It's better than that trash Irregular High School at least.

Love Live S2 EP9
Decent episode with a somewhat cliched dilemma. The end song is probably one Muse's best songs which made the episode that much better.
Do anime school girls not understand the concept of pants and boots when there is several inches of snow outside? I don't think I could run around like that in a blizzard.

Love Live! S2 09
An anime's climax and its finale won't necessarily be the same thing. For iM@S, that was "Promise", and I think "Snow halation" holds that role for Love Live. No matter what happens in the finale, this was the emotional and narrative peak of what everyone wanted to accomplish for this season. The way the episodes have been edited, especially this one, the way the music flows in and out between the scene transitions, make it feel like one interconnected piece, in a way many other shows don't. The simple story allowed for maximum character moments, and letting the show wrap itself up with the song was the most effective way to get that done. A great performance with great visuals, a climax that will stand among climaxes for idol anime.

:') Yeah thats exactly what I thought
Not gonna lie, her hair is amazing and shes very very cute.
It's not the idea that episodes can be skipped, but the criteria for determining which.
