one week friends 7

you know dude has a hell of a friend to tolerate his annoying ass.

You could almost see the eventual screw up that the male MC will pull to give the female MC the emotional scar to rule them all. I'm not going to say I want this to happen but I feel like the show is telegraphing it.

Just read the manga, which is supposedly excellent, although MangaGAF could probably tell you more about it.

I may consider this because the show's visual makes my eyes bleed but I still want to find out why this thing is so popular. I used to feel the same way about K-On but was hooked at the first episode. Good shows many take have the show to get good but great shows (and by great shows I mean 8+ rated shows) should grab you by the first or second episode. This thing is rigged.

The show is a complete botch job. The manga is awesome as fuck and I've only seen the panels other people post.

Kaiba 1

watching this episode, really makes me wish Kevin Aymeric was around to work on the background art for it, oh well, this is still good

Yuasa, so good. The chase scene at the beginning and the music near the end of the episode were great.

 

[Clov]

Glad to see someone else watching Kaiba! Love that series. I didn't like the second half as much as the first, but the first half is some truly fantastic stuff.

Nah, if he was really upset, he would make fun of your fucking hair.

Or maybe he wants him to be mercilessly griefed by a Shigekiyo player.

... Why the fuck is he in the fighting game again?

Sailor Moon Unalcoholic Episode 3:

Alright, this episode was not just a cut above the first two, but actually kind of good. I mean there is always going to be a baseline amount of suck with Solo Usagi here, but she does become much more manageable when she isn't acting like a literal crybaby. Anyway, the framing device here is showcase a relic of cheese from the 1980s and 1990s and these shows actually existed. Anyway, aside from getting Haruna Sakurada a chance to show off her Christmas Cake Hat this episode actually featured bits of chracter development as we see Usagi actually listening to Luna's advice. Also, the plot actually advances as Sailor Moon squared off against Jadeite directly after quickly dispatching the latest MOTW. As an aside I do like at this point Sailor Moon is using her most powerful attack and dispatching foes quickly and it convalesces here as Jadeite predictably shrugs things off and thus showing that Usagi still has more work to do if she is going to be able to defeat the Dark Kingdom. Yes, this episode is a recommended watch.

I dunno. But I play a mean Ikuro!

It's still surreal given how

Spoiler

short he actually WAS around in the manga. Seemed there were other more prominent characters to throw in first.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

DON'T MAKE ME FUCKING SAY IT

I meant it in the most loving way possible.

He would make fun of your hair if he was really pissed. That's how you can tell people are serious with their insults.

Gundam Unicorn 7

Spoiler

It was an okay ride once I realized that it wasn't going to make sense and that the contents of Laplace's Box were going to be disappointing. They all got trolled pretty hard by the old man though....

Not that I wasn't trolled as well. Gundam Unicorn is like the part of an SJ manga where everyone has incredible superpowers and what you loved about the original is almost completely gone; More MS porn than meaningful addition to the universe. Oh well.

 

[BGBW]

Epic Battle of History: Goku vs Superman

Rap aside, I'd say Goku. Simply because he is not above killing people, while Superman try very hard to not kill. Means: Goku is gonna get all out, while Superman would hold back at first. That would be enough to be vaporized by Goku. Then again: Superman is immortal, while Goku is not (Dragonballs don't count, that isn't an inept ability of him).
What do you think?

Since I've never really been a big fan of either Dragon Ball or Superman I am able to view this battle with a clear mind and I go for the out of the box third option: Akari. She could kill both of them and they'd never see it coming.

Sailor Moon Unanorexic Episode 4:

Right, so this episode went beyond the confines of being 9insip and terrible and cratered into the downright offensive. It was annoying enough for the episode to head into PSA mode about exercise and eating right. If your lecture me about that, do it right, this was downright foul with everybody just being dicks about the weight jokes and Luna, oh dear god, she was so awful with these jabs and just some other behavior that quite frankly she was OOC. Anyway, this was more about feeding into that body image perfection bullshit that turns people into necrotic anorexics in real life and it is a philosophy I absolutely abhor. To the credit of this episode the mixing up of things with the MOTW showdown was appreciated, though would have been appreciated more if Usagi didn't currently have the moveset of John Cena. Also, I suppose the shadowy plan of doom was advanced a little bit but the amount of things needed is so vague it is impossible to truly gauge that. Anyway, I recommend this episode to go die in a fire.

On a completely unrelated to Kayos and bad meme note (maybe not the later)
Are any of you lot going to the London MCM this weekend?

Should be, though given I've literally just landed back from Chicago, I may be a little worse for wear...

 

[striferser]

So here's something I was wondering: has a show ever surprised you by having consistently higher-than-expected production values? I mean beyond what you might have assumed from knowing the staff/studio.

Mikakunin and Love lab.

Holy shit Honoka pre-credits trolled. But then it turns out to be (mostly) accurate anyway lol. gg

Solid snake tiem. Oops! Camo at 0%! Uh oh time for groping. Lol that escape tho

Haha, the card shutdowns.

Awww. Nico ;__; So cute!

This is a lot of effort for a solo concert, haha. Great transition into credits though. (NIco's singing voice is terrible lol)

Well, that was fun.

Rin better be voiced by Kugyuu in the new anime or already declaring it as shit.

If Rin is ever voiced by anyone who isn't Ueda Kana, I'm boycotting that product.

Her voice is perfect. <3

But the stock footage is one of the things Suite does best! Best of Precure really.

I'm going to have to politely disagree. It seems thoroughly average.

...Upcoming stock footage that might prove superior notwithstanding.

Gurren Lagann 4

The only redeeming factor of the episode might have been the Black Syblings.

OBJECTION! Boota's noble sacrifice was amazing.

You know something I realized, well it's that red heads are the best in anime. Kallen in Code Geass, Erza in Fairy Tail, Chick in Madoka Magica, Erika in Mahouka, and Mitsuru in Persona 3.

Aside from Kyoko, your examples are not doing your hypothesis any favours. Kallen is meh, Erza is awesome in battle but not even on the scale of FT waifus, Mitsuru is the worst girl in P3, and Erika is...possibly the second-best girl in Mahouka after Miyuki, but that's mainly because the competition is so bad, it's not like she's particularly amazing or anything.

If anything, I associate redheads more with worst girls, since there are quite a few prominent examples that fit. Aside from Mitsuru who you already mentioned, there's Emi from Hataraku Maou-sama, Ichika from NatsuMachi, Kotori from Date A Live, Arashi from OniAi...

But I can think of a few redheads who are actually best girl (or at least strong candidates) if I try. There's Nico from Accel World, Nero from Milky Holmes, Vita from Nanoha, Kanako from OreImo (who isn't best girl but only because the competition is insanely strong), Akane from Vividred, and of course Rin from—

But Rin isn't the best girl in Yes! 5. It's the one thing little girls did right by not liking her.

...You're an awful person and you should feel awful.

Mikakunin and Love lab.

Nawwww, if you didn't expect wonderful things of Dogakobo, you have only your own foolishness to blame. They are, after all, the creators of original happiness.

I'm a nico fan. but I know her voice is terrible

 

[Canis lupus]

Chihayafuru

Good show about a Japanese card game called karuta about ancient love poems(no yugioh and monsters), they made it really interesting with good progress and pacing throughout the series. I would never have heard about it or tried to play otherwise but I became interested after watching Chihayafuru.

1 thing I didn't like as much is the love triangle which seems to be plaguing every anime I decide to watch.

 

[TheRancor]

Scarlet/Red scarf?

One Week Friends Episode 7

This show :')

 

[Defuser]

More Akame Ga Kill voice cast.

Souma Saitou = Tatsumi
Yuu Asakawa = Leone
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka = Rabac
Katsuyuki Konishi = Braht
Yukari Tamura = Mein
Risa Mizuno = Najenda
Mamiko Noto = Schere
Satomi Akesaka = Esdese

Taku Iwasaki is the music composer for the series. Man Taku Iwasaki has been damn busy with jobs which I'm glad he is.

Katsuyuki Konishi is a perfect for Braht because of reasons. I don't like Yukari Tamura as Mein.
