Nozomi/Lucky Penny clue to what their Anime Expo announcement is
Their first clue was this
Right Stuf did tweet the clues were for multiple new licenses, so there is a chance each clue is for a separate title or group of titles. https://twitter.com/animetoday/status/483687589665591296

does it matter? Does anything truly matter? Obviously they don't give a fuck, why should we?
Why should fucking anybody. I need a drink. Make it double.
Ranma 1/2 4
Man, Nabiki sure loves to cause trouble and stir the pot. Kumo was funny this episode, particularly when he gave the cute dolly (it was kinda creepy looking, frankly) to Ranma, asking why he should give it to him, and then doing that puppet show with it. He's obviously thick-headed, but at this rate he has to discover what's up. Hell, Ranma and others really aren't even trying that hard to keep it a secret. Now, how Kumo will react when he learns the truth...that's the question.

I was agreeing, and pointing out how the show fails to play up to its strengths.

Took some time to realize that I had to fiddle around with a few things before I could get Daisuki's new site design working. That scene with Sasame was cute, at least, and I liked Mahm continuing to narrate things. Her storyteller thing has to factor into something later. It's still grays upon grays with a hint of black, but now that I have some idea of the plot's direction, I'm slightly more invested in it.

they also somehow managed
to kill off the best promoter/initiator team aside from Kagetane
what a disappointment, if this doesn't get a S2 who gives a shit

Black Bullet 13
So I assume if this does well enough we'll get a season 2 as there is still plenty of material to adapt from the LN from what I can tell plus that very longer stinger with
just makes this feel like a stop and not a real ending.
All in all a very solid first season that felt a bit condensed at times. sometimes I wish this had been 26 episodes with the same amount of story spread out better. Elements like Kisara's revenge and family plot line didn't feel as well developed as they should have and the first arc alone could have easily been 13 episodes and was condensed into 4 which is crazy.
Still I very much enjoyed Black Bullet despite it's problems. The action was good, the characters were fairly well developed even in their anime/moe tropes, and it kept me coming back for more each week.

The first arc could have been half a season or more
no youre going to love it, SAO2 is going to save anime like KLK did.
I'll be there. Really looking forward to it.

Log Horizon 4
Enchanter is broken Thorn Bind Hostage plz nerf. How is the duration of a bind spell equal to its cooldown? What moron designed this game?
There was a lot of recapping of already-known information at the start of this episode. Is that going to be a regular thing? That'd be kind of disappointing if so. I feel like the show doesn't trust me as a viewer sometimes.
I like Shiroe as a strategist so far. His plans to this point have been good MMO tactics, and one particularly strong feat of timing. He's very good at what he does, but he hasn't done anything impossible yet.
The world is really interesting right now, so I'm looking forward to getting to know all the characters better.

That would be Shooter, staring Mark Wahlberg.
I wish I could join you. If you get extra SAO swag, mind sending it to me? I'll pay.
Nozomi/Lucky Penny clue to what their Anime Expo announcement is
Their first clue was this
My Detective Pirate Can't be This Smart.
Is this joke old yet?
Send me a PM with your real name attached(or whatever you might want an autograph addressed to), I might be able to get something autographed on Sunday. Definitely no promises though as I'm dead busy throughout the con. There's also something where if you buy a SAO blu-ray or whatever Aniplex is hustling, you can possibly get an autograph but that's to your discretion whether you want me to try (which again, no guarantees). My schedule is dead busy as it is, but I might get lucky and have some sort of window but don't get your hopes up.
I'm going to be literally sick as fuck next week.
I enjoyed it much more than I should have.

I'll send you a PM. I don't really want anything huge lol. Just some nice trinkets! Maybe like an awesome poster hahaha.
EDIT: I'm wondering how many episodes they need to cover GGO.... Mother's Rosario isn't really that long so...

Guys, I'm just a bit excited for Free! Eternal Summer. Anyone else watching?
I just don't know how they'll do it. Mother's Rosario would be a really weird end for season 2.
Way back I was expecting 1 cour for GGO and an OVA for Mother's Rosario.

Gracias.
I think they might actually have filler content. Or they already planned season 3. Meaning we might see the beginning of Alicization.
Also @jarmel, maybe you can get me this beauty?! lol.

Black Bullet 13 END
Well the plan to sabotage Rentaro was completely pointless. I'm not even sure why they ended the last episode like that. Of course the bomb fails to go off so someone has to go sacrifice them self to set it off.
Kisara's thing came out of no where and the whole scene seemed off. That guy's death or how he died was ridiculous.
It then ends with Rentaro sobbing into Enju's lap. Their relationship is still a puzzle to me. Does he actually love her or see her more as family?
Overall I give the series 6/10. The action is decent enough but the story is not very engaging and some of the writing is a bit weird.

You don't wanna enjoy waiting in line for about 2-3 hours to watch a 25 minute video?! Priorities.
Gonna make my Premiere Pass get that work.
I figured we'd just get books 5-8 this time, with Alicization kept for S3.
After waiting 4 hours to play Smash 4 during the Best Buy event, I dunno if I can do something like that again lol

How in the world do you get a premier pass? Ive been going for three straight years and have yet to get one. Always sold out.
Ranma 1/2 5
Ranma was really being a jerk to Akane there. He was clearly trying to provoke her. Can't blame her for making a mess out of him like that.
So Akane loves the doctor, and he's in love with Kasumi. Kuno is in love with both Akane and female Ranma. And Ranma and Akane are engaged even though they don't wanna. We've got quite the web going here already.

SAO2 will show the world the truth. KLK was merely a stepping stone to all things right with anime.
I feel your pain yo. But I love the abuse.
I don't think I have ever not been hungry while at AX. We eat like a meal a day and never leave the expo till it closes. Exhausting stuff.
I was kinda under the assumption that I was pretty much the only person here who has never seen the show. lol
I haven't!

the last time I watched ranma was over 9 years ago, its hard to remember what happened in specific episodes.
Watching for Gou and Ama-chan.

I don't know if you know Tenumi, but I added you on the Wii U
I haven't been on in a couple of days, so... yeah.
As dumb as this anime's been, I never really got the impression that it was anything other than a familial bond on his part.

Glad I'm not alone.
Sousuke looks like trouble, and I guess he'll be the one brewing drama this season. Hosoya's voicing him though, so there's that. Hoping for more Rin/Haru, Makoto/Haru, Mikoshiba/Gou moments. Yeah, yeah, Tumblr's that way...
