No Game No Life 6
Even with the gross loli almost-nudity, that was amazing. So hilarious and exciting. Someone said it earlier, but if the show didn't have the loli nudity I'd probably recommend it to a lot of people. The Angel girl is pretty great. I love when she gets hard for information, her creepy smile is the best. It'll be interesting to see where it will go from here.

Fuckin Lotus juice I love you, so amazing. Damn do these Movies look so much better than the sub par Persona 4 animation. Looks like the SEES group is getting the character development they deserve, with Ken and my man Makoto. I have a few Anime's that are a contender for AOTY, but this is definitely in it.

If you liked Build Fighters there is a high chance that it will be your cup of tea.
I care! I really loved that show when it was on. It's especially great for a film buff.

This, out of all the series G Gundam is probably most similar to Build Fighters.

Thought they announced that over a year ago at anime expo, took forever for them to finally put it up in this rather dull release edition (bland extras).
Should also ask about how well he tolerated build knuckle conflict resolution. :lol
Heartcatch Precure The Movie: Hana no Miyako de Fashion Show...Desu Ka?!
Goddammit Heartcatch you just have to win at everything, don't you.
That was a really nice movie. Probably the best Precure movie I've seen yet, perhaps barring the sheer fanservice spectacle of DX1.
Most Precure movies throw in a whole lot of overblown bullshit, centring around a visit to some shiny new fantasy world that we've never heard of, which brings with it a whole host of new characters, friend and foe alike. Which is all very well and usually quite fun, but does tend to make the whole thing feel a bit all over the place, particularly considering the short runtime.
Not Heartcatch, though. This felt like a much more focused affair. It only introduced two new characters - count 'em, two - and thus it played out as a really nicely paced character piece exploring these two quasi-villains' issues, relationship and personal tragedy. It didn't even bother throwing in any random lackey villains or monsters for the battle scenes - unless you count the bat Snackeys who were chasing the kid around at the very beginning, every single battle was against one or both of the movie's two focus characters in some form. No new fantasy world here, either - the whole thing was set in Paris. How classy can you get? Hell, the movie even made a classy expansion on the main show's lore by giving us a glimpse in a flashback of the first Precure ever to face the Desert Disciples.
Oh, and it helped that both Olivier and Salamander had some really slick designs that both made them instantly appealing as characters and looked damn cool in their many action scenes.
And there was a goddamn dragon.
Good job, Heartcatch, you win again.
(Though like everything Heartcatch...and everything not Heartcatch for that matter...the movie could have done with moar Erika. Not that her scenes weren't the best, of course they were, but you know, there were also scenes that didn't feature Erika. All of which could have been improved by featuring Erika. Just saying.)

No Game No Life 6
This show is fucking awesome. Minus the very cringeworthy naked loli stuff (seriously guys? ugh) the jokes and the build up in the game were excellent and very creative. Poor Steph, I love/hate how her getting shit on is a running gag now but it was hilarious watching her get chased by monsters and stuff naked.
I really like the character designs too. Jibril is great.

Sorry to say but Ash has had many times where romance was hinted and nothing happened for the kid. Chances are nothing will happen.

Its different this time.
He's going to get the girl right after finally winning a league with a team led by his badass Greninja.

Kino's Journey - 2
Really enjoyed the contemplative talk of why Kino chooses to take one life over another out of good will towards others while still having cognizance to not take life in vain. It all builds up to a very satisfying conclusion that remains thematically in tune with those thoughts throughout the episode. I liked that touch of having a blinding light overwhelm the background during the finale.

Chaika season 2 in October?!?! YES!!! Chaika Season 2 + Psycho Pass Season 2 + Log Horizon Season 2 = a lot of good season 2s this Fall! Maybe even a Selector Infected Wixross Season 2.
Chaika - The Coffin Princess 6
LOL at the Dragoon just chillin' at the cart when they came back. Red Chaika needs to die.

Wait wait. MA bro has a greninja already? Keep me up to date on whether he actually gets the girl. If so I'll watch the new season. I mean romance and greninjas are a winning combination

Not yet.
But considering Froakie is his only starter this season, chances are real good he evolves him all the way.

You never know. He never evolved his Totodile. And his Cyndaquil and Chikorita only reached their second stage. The former having done so like, at the end of the Sinnoh league or something, IIRC.

Greninja is the only one that matters. He shoots water shuriken ffs. Fuck the firefox. And fuck the otter with a green beanie.
I specifically called mine Gene Simmons for that reason alone.

So the red Chaika now a full on enemy. I wonder what the next Chaika is going to be like

Red Chaika is not an enemy. She's a passionate and lively love interest and I hope she wins. Because let's face it, once you go red the white might as well be dead.

Code: Breaker Episode 1 God's Great Judgment (engdub)
Not a bad english dub, I think they arent saying Ogami correctly unless Ive always been saying it incorrectly, but I just dont remember them saying it the way its pronounced in the dub, like they did in the sub.
English voices and such for the classmates combined with their pretty wacky and comedic over the top reactions to Sakura and Ogami was the best part of this dubbed episode one, lol, may definitely keep watching when funievs adds the rest.

But the Johto example doesn't work since Froakie is Ash only starter (Clemont has Chespin and Serena has Fennekin) and can have a much bigger solo role without having to share the spotlight.
And considering how well aware Gamefreak and the Pokemon Company are of Greninja's popularity, it would be illogical for him to never evolve.
Ninja Frog is breaking that water curse no matter what.

Ive seen this posted before but I really wish I could see that exhibit or one similar.
Sometimes art galleries are really enjoyable.
He's also really bad at board games.
They didnt even try!
Most discs have the option for clean opening/closing, even if its the only feature. However some particularly cheap releases use hardsubs and yeah I hate it. Let people have a choice!
I still feel like I got the gist of Gren's character overall but that is a particularly noticeable difference. I think theres enough other inferences that helped people to come to this conclusion about Gren though.
Fairies are kinda scary. Think of the Jinrui ones too lol.
Dunno if Id trust one!
I dont think thats the right way to go with things Arti. Always hope for a good outcome and prepare for a bad one. Life is about perspective. Its not always rosy and its not always terrible but a person can make it so.
Thats impressive if true. Im not a skyrim fan (at all) but I like that sorta thing. It severely dates a work though if it relies too much on pop culture references.
Why would anyone do that?!
(I just laid down for a quick rest and slept 5 hours. Now I have half of GBF 6 to finish still)

This episode had a very nice look into the enemy planet. I really enjoy things like that.
I find it weird how the Garmillans refer to space objects as things like "Large Magellanic Cloud" and "Milky Way" when those are the INFERIOR RACE names. Did they have a Magellan too? Minor gripe.
Also:
THANK YOU XEBEC
I know fanservice is a thing, but I do like when characters display the attraction you would expect of someone who has to work with girls like that. Even if its subtle. Makes them more believable.
White Chaika has adorable Engrish spells, though, so she wins by default.

White Chaika is moeblob. Red Chaika is passionate and a badass.
Red Chaika is love. Red Chaika is life. It's not ogre till I say it is.

Red Chaika is gonna be won over by White Chaikas cuteness and gratefulness.
There are also other Chaikas out there. Maybe well get Chaika Power Rangers and together they have a giant Dragoonzord or something.
If MTG is anything to go by, Blue Chaika is gonna be super smart and quiet, Green Chaika is going to be 7ft tall and muscular and black Chaika is gonna be some cunning vampire zombie.

Fairy Musketeers 10-12
The show's found its groove and more or less changed its genre by this point. Spending seven episodes in the real world was a bit of a slow start, but it helped to establish why Souta got pulled into this journey. The thousand year flower was simple but effective - Miyukichi Power once again reigns supreme - and the story with the wine cellar looked like it was setting up plot points for future episodes with the Lycans. Val doesn't like 'em, and Souta said as much that they'll meet again.
Episode 11 was my favorite of the Phandavale episodes so far. Gretel got to play a part, we learned something of the characters' backstories - they all went to separate magic schools. Is there a Phandavalian Tri-Wizard Tournament? - and Red's was hosting what looked suspiciously like a Japanese school festival. Odd how that works. That was what I'd expect, what I really liked was the brief return of Hamelin and Ringo attempting to learn some magic in order to feel like she's not just tagging along. She's got a ways to go, but A for effort.
Kinda Town of the Week at the moment, but the show's been doing a good job with keeping the serialization moving at a good clip.
