I'm kidding. I've seen your explanations before. Sorry if that came off more serious than I intended.
Anime has 99 episodes and is over.
Manga still ongoing.
The anime is a direct adaptation of the manga. No fillers, no changes, it's literally identical to the manga but in color and with sound. It has a great OST, solid cast...
So basically you can do what you want, like watching the 99 episodes then switch to the manga...

Saki: Episode of Side A END - On the fence about this one. Overall I enjoyed it, but the pacing was weird and I don't think they really fleshed out the Achiga players nearly enough.
So, naturally with that out of the way I jumped into:
Saki: The Nationals 1-2 - So, I watched OG Saki a couple months ago, just finished Episode of Side A, and jumping straight in to Nationals. And frankly, my timeline is all messed up. OG Saki ended after the Prefecturals and finished off with the start of a training camp with some of the teams they had beaten. Then Nationals starts off the first episode with everyone arriving in Tokyo, but the second episode they're back at the training camp. It feels like they should have swapped episodes 1 and 2. But in the meantime they've introduced like a hundred new teams, so I'm concerned how much time they're going to devote to the quarter/semi finals, since I assume the real focus should be on the finals match and 13 episodes doesn't seem like enough time to squeeze that all in.
Also, I still no fuckall about how mahjong is played.
They blow through the prefectural tournament like it was nothing and then moving immediately on to the Nationals. They then blow through the first round of the Nationals. And then there's like three episodes focusing on the first match of the semifinals. But the weird thing is how little they focus on the Achiga players. Kuro just quietly sits through the match being useless while all the focus is on the other players and their Super Mahjong Powers. Particularly on Toki as she tries to MAHJONG HERSELF TO DEATH. Then all the other matches are given like an episode or less to play out. Its tough to grasp a flow to the matches because of the radically different amount of time given to each one. Some matches end right away, some drag on. And all the while trying to keep track of everyone's Super Mahjong Powers.
Also, first commentator team=Awesome, second team, not so much.

A group of high schoolers talking about mundane things. So unrealistic.
Yeah I know. The series isnt bad either. DTL would like it probably with all the reverse harem guys.
Kill La Kill was supremely entertaining. It was inconsistent and honestly sometimes bad but always entertaining.
congratulations on blindly stumbling into a goldmine. I love when that happens.

How can I play this?!

Yeah, this is my new serving of cute, to replace Hanamaru Kindergarten. Not much to say so far, it's cute girls doing cute things. At the very least, it hasn't veered off into yuri territory yet, which is kind of amazing in comparison to this season.
Love and Piece!

55 inch HDTV + Hidamari sketch bluray on widescreen mode = Bliss. Try it!

Like I tell everyone, stick with this at least until the end of season 2. It goes from serviceable slice of life with some sometimes overbearing Shaftness (including a not so great budget) to the most perfect show with better production values and direction.

I love mood whiplash ED's.
Another great one is after serious events in Sora No Woto you get greeted with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGjH5mRo1WA

Getting into some Final Fantasy stuff now.
It seems like Toru has literally no plan for anything he does. Attacking a random person without thinking? Sure that's great. Jumping into a pack of electric shooting dogs? Excellent idea. But he makes silly faces so I'll forgive him for now.

I really hope this doesnt happen.

Maybe the third TV-series was dropped in favor of the movie because of how Forte ended, despite the fact that enough source material was available.
Chaos was one of the final battles in the manga, so with her already reformed at the end of Forte there would have to be an anime-original ending to keep consistent with the anime adaptation.

Nanana's Buried Treasure 03
What are the limitations of the Wizard's Cane? Because mind control and teleportation are broken powers if not unrestrained by something. The teapot's quaint and kinda charming, though. Great showing for Detective Asumin in the spider web maze - she's definitely my favorite character in the show. Yuiga was suspicious from the moment he appeared, and that is no less the case now. It's obvious why someone would want the Collection (at least on the surface), but does any of this have to do with her killers? Because the sub-mystery within the treasure hunting is equally important.

Google further fucked up their region lock recently too. Worry not however.
You can follow the instructions in this post.
Also if you don't add billing info to that account I *think* you will be able to use it on any region with VPN.

This won't work! Everyone knows you are an undercover cop.
They're coming...
Haven't been able to keep up with this thread for a while, and now that Dark Souls II PC is coming out, it'll be even harder, but THANK GOD for this (Nanana spoilers, I guess):
Can't wait to watch it. Cute brown maid best girl of the season, easily.

At last the OP is here, and it is glorious.
This show has so much style. I beg to anyone who has not picked up this show because of the art style or the concept or whatever to give it a try. It's way ahead for AOTS for me.
That's how I felt about the second Gundam Build Fighters ED. It ended up being pretty funny.
DBZ Burst Limit is style vomit
