Calling him one of "gaming's premier auteur directors" is absolutely an overstatement, but I love Killer7 far too much to ever hate Suda. I'd love to see him actually direct a game again.
Even with the staff involved, I don't see what expectations people could have had for Idolm@ster that weren't exceeded by the actual show.
Yeah, was gonna say...
I was always curious when you guys mentioned the best directors working on hentai OVAs but damn, this really is staggering.
Is this Cream Lemon OVA god-tier or is it still just another hentai OVA?
Envelope's inner avatar will always be Erio to me. First impressions stick.
I enjoyed it all the way through.
Even the melodrama at the end!
Hibiki got fucking cheated on her episode, though.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good Idolm@ster was. I thought it'd be equivalent to what AKB0048 is for this season. I wouldn't say Idolm@ster is terribly consistent; Some of the episodes are kind of meh, while some are pretty entertaining.
I actually thought the melodrama was done was pretty well. Still not my cup of tea, but the melodrama was executed pretty well imo.
and Hibiki deserved better
and Hibiki deserved better
With Happy? Sickening.

So, the conflict gets swept away pretty easily. Like everyone's problem is pretty much solved without any big deal and even the main confrontation is like
There is somehow yet another episode after this of I guess fun hijinks for all, so way to ruin any sort of conclusion we might have had.
Coolest character in the show not that there is any real competition here.

Naruto SD: Rock Lee and friends 5
The ED is actually pretty catchy, Rocku Lee Go! Rocku Lee Go! The episode was pretty cool, Rasengan, Kabuto, so much Konohamaru and his jutsu
. Probably my second favorite thus far.

I have no idea what the hell is going on here over the last 500 posts or so, but since I'm incapable of being able to participate in a critical discussion, I'll just post this (which I don't think was posted here before), the contents of NISA's Usagi Drop release.
And for only one tenth of the price of Fate/Zero s1. The American localization industry is saved.

You mean passe.Portal jokes are so blase now, Hito.
I can never win.
Should have been thinking Juvia thoughts.
frostbyte, will you be joining us for R2 shenanigans?
Nah, I've already experienced the sheer madness of R2 and I'm in no rush to rewatch it. I'll just watch you and Brazil try to piece through the absurdity that is R2.
have you tried having both eyes? or is one enough

Ha, okay then!Nah, I've already experienced the sheer madness of R2 and I'm in no rush to rewatch it. I'll just watch you and Brazil try to piece through the absurdity that is R2.
Also, did you read my response to your question about the impressions?
All the weight jokes with Hiro are usually pretty funny especially when instigated by Miyako. Also she's so good at taking care of people. <3 Yuno is still the best though.
Yeah it's really not a show that invokes a lot of words but it's just an enjoyable thing to watch. Just waiting on the next release of the manga over here.

Ha, yeah I'm growing on Yuno myself.
I kind of submitted my review too early and missed
her getting strength to move past her artistic shortcomings in the eyes of critics... thanks to one-on-one with Hiro.
*sniffle*
Beautiful.
I judged Hiro as just a cook too soon.

Fairy Tail 15:
So, aren't flashbacks supposed to help make a character sympathetic? Why is it, then, that Gray's flashback just helps to give validity to Lyon's claim on revenge? Child Gray is kind of an unlikeable fuckup.
The idea of a monster like Deliora existing in the Fairy Tail world is pretty absurd, too. Where did it come from? How long has it been terrorizing the world? If it's existed from time immemorial and is immortal, how is the world not just a pile of smouldering ruins by now? Are the mages of the world so collectively inept that they had to
? Fiore is so damned poorly-realized, everything just exists in its own bubble.
Fairy Tail 16:
Gray's chest is surprisingly intact for having just been impaled by an ice tiger. An ice tiger that somehow roars, even. At least he managed to counter with his strongest attack, ICE MAKE I'M A PROTAGONIST.
Mystery solved: Deliora evolves from Gyarados

When is a better time than the last episode than introducing a new rival in love?!?
Yeah, a boring episode after we already had a conclusion means a throwaway episode.
So, this series kinda screams aimless. I mean, it has a decent concept of fairy tales and stuff. But, doesn't really do anything with it. There's action but that disappears on and off. We have character drama and backstory but that gets glossed over like nobody's business. I don't really mind seeing as I literally marathon it over a span of two days so it didn't really drag out for me, but I would probably dislike this show more if I was watching it week by week.

Is Katawa Shoujo a good VN? I hear people mention it every now and then.
My interest/apprehension towards AnimeGAF IRC just doubled.
I should really go in a for a peek some day.

I don't know how it compares to other VNs since I've only played Katawa and Saya no Uta, but I found it to be a really enjoyable read. Some of the paths are meh and some of them are excellent. The music is godly, though, and really helps carry some of the weaker parts in the writing.
If you've got any interest in it, I'd check it out. It's free, after all.

Speaking of fairy tail fillers.
Fairy Tail 128
some of the humor in the fillers is better than non filler stuff.
Also better boobs.

But... But the Ultima ending...!I played a ton of them as a kid. They're definitely not art.

Meh this was stupid. I'm glad that entire arc was over, totally over the top on completely pointless melodrama and pretty much everybody outside of Haruna was terrible. The resolution to the whole thing was a huh that was it type of thing.
Zombie 12
Idol episode! I guess they just needed some crap to finish up the season but this was a decent way to wrap it up especially that awful last half of the season (and suddenly itsy bitsy bikinis)
Haruna is loev.
Show started off pretty strong, the first two episodes were the best but the whole first half was fine. Then Tomonori showed up, the show devolves into the same old generic boring harem crap, the main villain was zzz and it just turned into crap thanks to both of them.
Guess I'll check out S2. They thankfully phased Tomonori out towards the very end of S1.

Definitely worth checking out. If the premise irks you, don't let that hinder your interest in it. Everything is handled in a surprisingly sincere and classy way.

Definitely buying. I love NISA boxsets.
Yeah I've got several NISA sets now. Great company. Hopefully they fixed the early snafus.
Ill be off Sunday through wednesday. If yall watch stuff in that timeframe I can join you.
I left off on R2 episode 7.
Fate Zero box price isnt too big of a deal.
its not as bad as you think. Cuilan posts the nsfw links mostly but its normally just like in this thread, only a bit more unencumbered.

Sailor Moon S 90:
At last, I've finally made it to the vaunted third season of Sailor Moon as I delve ever-deeper into the primordial ooze from which Utena and Penguindrum would eventually emerge. I expect great things from the next fifty or so episodes, though I can't guarantee a quick marathon unless the material really grabs me.
First, let's get this out of the way:
WAT
I feel bad posting this because this kind of Easter Egg should be the type of thing that people experience the amazement of finding on their own, but this is too hilarious not to share. Magical. Hype for this season x100000.
This episode was generally in line with previous Sailor Moon season openers, combining a little casual interaction between the girls with an introductory enemy. The fight itself was nothing particularly special, but the fact that this season's MotWs can apparently use human speech intrigues me. I'll try not to complain too much about
, I understand that this is how it has to be considering that Sailor Moon basically gets a yearly refresh. I'm weird and prefer standalone episodes to the dramatic end-of-arc stuff anyway, though this may change depending on the quality of writing in S!
Sailor Moon S 91:
Usagi

Can't comment much on the plot yet; it was the same as the previous episode save for the usual interchangeable plot dressing used to differentiate characters introduced in standalone episodes. At least the enemies are slightly more interesting.
Sailor Moon S 92:
I noticed that
were edited into the credits this episode. As gobsmacked as I am to see Toei actually attempt to avoid spoilers in any fashion, it was still an episode too soon!
This episode had some amazing Usagi-Minako interaction. Poor Minako is by far the most underutilized of the main cast, so any episode that gives her more than one or two lines is a precious commodity. I still have a difficult time understanding what defines her character, and this episode basically turned her into a second Usagi. It worked, though; no complaints here.
While
plots are nothing new, this one was at least entertaining due to the nonstop comedy.
is actually really really cool, and I'm interested to see how the
plotline develops. The first two seasons were simple good vs. evil stories, however with a third neutral party in the mix this time there should hopefully be a little more complexity to the plot.
MotW was laughably bizarre.
must be 0.00001% to be able to just
, heheh.
