Capn' Earf 05
Good episode.
In this episode we find out Tepei's dad is Big Boss and Tepei himself is Solid Snake.
Capn' Earf V: The Brown Strikes Back
Good episode.
Hey, Kero-chan was the best.
I think Joseph is more fun in Stardust Crusaders than he was in Battle Tendency. Such an awesome old man.
My only experience with Cardcaptor Sakura was Cardcaptors so it's not like I'd know.

Terrible. Just terrible. You need to fix that! Let Kero-chan's kansaiben into your life.
I'm disappointed in you.
tbh I never did find out the difference. I know there ARE differences... I just don't know what they are.
Like, they tried to edit it so Li was more of a main character? But I was, like, 6 or something when I saw Cardcaptors, and then at some later date I saw Cardcaptor Sakura, and I was too young to know the difference really.

Duckroll, what'd ya think of Studio Bone's Darker than Black?
Especially season 1 versus the 2nd.

Unsolicited opinion here, but DTB s1 was some good stuff. Only complaint was that each 2ep sub-plot were a bit too self contained, but overall it worked well.

Season 2 of Darker than Black took everything I liked of the first season and shat on it.

No problem, the more the merrier.
I actually liked that 2-episode sequence. The individual arcs linked essentially by the protagonist was a nice narrative style I thought.
Some were pretty self-contained I agree, but not all. Some parts built off past mini-arcs.
cnet please.
Well, it's truuuuuuue. The only things Moonlight is good for are a) being crazy OP in battle, b) bringing a "novel" element to the series due to the whole veteran angle, and c) having occasional emotional scenes due to the various tragedies that happen to her (
Cologne's death, father's identity reveal/asplosion
I'd argue that she isn't particularly necessary for point a) since Sunshine was doing a perfectly good job at the badass fighter role before she showed up, while b) and c) aren't really positives about her actual character, they're just well-conceived plot elements that happen to centre around her. Moonlight herself is a dull character whose screentime would have been much better devoted to moar Marine or Sunshine.
Well am I ever wrong?
Well thank goodness for subtitles otherwise I'd have failed to understand most of that.
:lol Making sense of Gods in the SS universe is an impossibility.
Hey, you're not supposed to know she's Athena yet !
Enjoy those gallons of blood.Seeing you're seemingly on the Saint Seiya binge, don't forget about Lost Canvas. Best part of the franchise even if unfinished.
Hunter x Hunter 128
Ugh lame revival is lame.
Seeing as no one should be able to touch Meruem now, I can only guess that enlightened by his previous experiences, he will have a major paradigm shift. Well that or the number 1 dick of a father of hunterverse will finally crawl from whatever hole he has lived up till now.

God, I wish this show had a bigger budget or better animators or something. All these tricks with depiction are fantastic, but imagine how they'd look if the rest of the show actually looked great as well.

Ah, well that explains where DAL Encore 2 went. Turns out it's finally releasing on 20 May, about a year after the first one. Then Encore 3's being released in December accompanied by the Kurumi Star Festival OVA and my death.

I warn you , if you continue you'll have to bear to see something very annoying for the next 25 eps.
Continue at your own risk.
Hell yeah
You're aware of what she bring to the table, so you're not entirely delusional. No way moonlight is worst.. NO way. i actually agree that part of sunshine develloppement stopped once moonlight arrive but that'snot moonlight fault. Dark precure was there from day one.

I thought the OVA was very good, easily it can be put amongst the best episodes of the first season.
I knowwwww
You are certainly ambitious!
You poor thing
Except it gave us Suou and made everything better.
Thats just till you become a member (possibly). Can still get banned so just be careful!

Kino's Journey 4
This show gets dark sometimes.
I'm kind of reluctant to talk too specifically about what happens, but I'm growing to appreciate just how well this show sets a mood. The shading is very flat and the world is sketched very simply, but that means that simple changes in lighting and framing have a big impact.
The climax of the episode was really striking, and I think what was most impressive about it was how the framing shifts between Kino's perspective and the perspective of the villagers. One side is struck by a violent tragedy, and the other is incapable of registering it. That makes it all the more disturbing.

Another 1-3 - Nope. Nope. Nope. I had no idea what this was going in, but after the third episode I'm gonna have to shelve it. Since I do the majority of my anime watching on my tablet before going to sleep I can't be spending that time watching people get impaled through the neck by umbrellas. Maybe I'll come back to it later.

The crime of the century.
I got the Sailor Moon reference, not sure if there were more? Anyway, interesting enough episode. Even some twists at the end.

Entertaining cast with so funny antics.

Your opinion seems to be right in line with the majority here, though.
"Visually and musically impressive, pity about the story" is basically what I took away from the show.
No Game No Life 05
Steph is just the kind of character I like to watch. Yoko Hikasa gets to act all exasperated, and it's adorable. She's got a good head on her shoulders, too, even if she is prone to going off the hinge at times. Just as determined as Blank, but without the skill to back it up. Shiro herself is making some major strides towards cute, too. Not on the level of anybody in GochiUsa, but she can almost match Chino. A nice transitory episode between the end of the first arc and the start of the next, but the real highlight was Yukarin as the Englishy angel. Next week is going to be fun.

It's a start, but it isn't as good as Miyukichi with a mofu-ass tail.

Hunter x Hunter 85:
Hard to believe this is Shonen series. So brutal. Not that I am complaining. After slowish start this is actually pretty decent show. Doesn't surpass king of shonen (One Piece) for me but still very enjoyable.

You chose wisely.
One Week Weirdos - Episode 5
You know, this might be just what the show needs to keep it going. I wonder if SDBurton is watching this, because it seems to be a case study of how :sdburton is the real solution to all troubles, no matter how convoluted. Power of the garden, etc. I really like this new girl for some reason. Her voice, her personality, the way she moves, everything about it is so weird, but it seems to bring the best out of Fujimiya. If only dresden could have her same outlook on life, he would be able to enjoy this show too regardless of how stupid Fujimiya's ailment is!
