Huh, so it's the sister almost getting into trouble this time. Well what do you know. Still not 1 pedo joke this season.
And I think this is the first time we've seen the parents.

I'll just leave this here:
I feel as though I have finally broken free from the shackles of ignorance, emerging after a lifetime of darkness, for the first time gazing upon the light of truth. This is enlightenment.

What. You think they'd the makers of fans would sue the government.

So, here we go, on another anime. This time, it is a short anime in length and episode time, 5 minutes each about an anime related card game. It's amusing, short enough where it doesn't become a chore to watch and I could always go for more card based anime.
The characters are amusing, a little one dimensional but being 5 minutes, there isn't much you can do. I like the old guy just for his zaniness in dressing up and being pretty random in general. I don't know how deep this will go and if it'll just aim to show off the cards but the first four episodes were pretty fun to watch at the very least.
So sad, I'm too strong in this card game.

I don't think watching something in a manner not intended by the creators is actually covered by 'irony'. Irony means something else. What you're describing is a resistant reading e.g. reading something from a text other than what was intended.
I like you. When I take over the world, your death will be swift ^_^
Not when it allows them to sell high-priced "premium" fans with built-in timers.

Midori was originally combined with a particular environment, e.g. a a freakshows to add to the experience of watching the film, although I wouldn't call that interactive art.

Fairy Tail 70
This is seriously a fuckin weird filler arc. Why is an evil Nico Robin selling edible dildo sticks? Why is Gray being a douche? Why is there a seemingly canon flashback? Why is anything happening!?
On the plus side, there was this amazing scene:

Jormungand 04
The pacing was really weird structurally for this episode. It probably doesn't help that pretty much every scene has some kind of failed kinetic energy, be it action or otherwise. The sound in particular just feels very...off. Both from the perspective of the music and the sound effects themselves. The scene where Koko and the kid are walking around the city would just has these huge backgrounds, but when the shots focus in on anything the two were walking near it's always something small and stupid. In one instance it was a plain metal box sitting in the middle of some elaborate fountain.
This show has this decent source material but it doesn't really have any idea how to utilize it.

Kore wa Zombie Of The Dead 04
I cannot help but be reminded of Working'!! while watching this show. It has essentially cast plot progression off to the side and chosen to work as a comedy within the bounds of what it had already established in the previous season. Unlike Working'!! this show is avoiding just recycling the old jokes, and everything is working out for the better because this series was pretty much garbage when it was serious.

Pop Chaser is a fairly amazing and significant anime!
lu-pan the third - 04
I had mixed feelings about the episode. Thought it was competent, and somewhat fun to watch, and more along the lines of what I had expected from the show going on. But it also feels rather lethargic at parts, and moreover, I'm not quite so fond of what they've chosen to do with the characters. They all feel like such cynical, spiteful people--with Fujiko herself being this nihilistic, amoral person whose capers amount to nothing more than a manifestation of her self-destructiveness. The OP hints at such and I guess this is where they'll go.
e: the more I think about the episode the less satisfied I get. I think I'll stop and move on to catching up on Tsuritama or Fate/Zero.

Best Student Council 01
Not sure what to think after the first episode. The back and forth dialogue between Rino and her puppet Pu-chan annoyed the hell outta me. And the fact that said puppet
Most of the character's introductions were irrelevant as they didn't do a damn thing as they watched
Might as well have saved their introductions for the next episode when Rino gets a formal welcome into the student council.
I'll continue onward with this in hopes I'll be rewarded with some sort of yuri goodness.

Well, at the very least I'm glad I'm not the only person that feels that way about Koike Lupin.

The brolust metre is off the charts.
Kaiser you are too fabulous to die with a whimper. Too bad you are a pedo (how old was Annerose when she was bought?)

There's two things you've just done right now that made you my Nakama for life.
1.) You're on Team Lilly.
2.) You provided me with a Team Lilly song by motherfucking Ken Ashcorp.
My man.
Yeah, about that...
I spent the entire day with that song looping the first time I heard it, hahaha. So good.

Naruto shippuuden movie 5: Blood Prison
Huh.... pretty dark movie for naruto imo. Got implied prison rape, a lot of gruesome deaths by flames and stabbing.
The whole setup was pretty halfassed as well...
A lot of sakuga stuff though, and might be one of the better animated prison brawls I've seen.
Fun stuff overall and the story was one of the better filler ones imo.

Accel World 1
That was...kind of good? The fuck?
-Cartman-kun actually behaves like an insecure piece of shit instead of just being generically timid and clueless
-Snow Black is coocoo for cocoa puffs and super creepy
-The pacing was ridiculously fast
-Dat CartmanxTaco bromance
I mean, I can easily see this getting flushed straight down the future-toilet, but there's a slim possibility that it won't.

Magical.
This show is one of the biggest surprises this season. It gets better, as episode 4 was the best one yet.
Episode 3 is has Fate/Zero 1-levels of exposition, though.

Marco 3
This episode basically consisted of Marco running from one place to another with insignificant happenings along the way. That could have been boring, but it was saved by the embarrassing riches of background art that make Genoa come alive and feel like a real three-dimensional place. There were very few repeated backgrounds, and each one connected to the next in a logical manner. I especially liked how it transitioned from the city to the beach. Bookending the episode with nice moments of characterization for Marco's family also helped keep my interest.
I see that Tomino did the storyboard for this episode. Apparently he also worked on Anne of Green Gables. Fancy that.

Saint Seiya Omega 5
Wait a minute. So the Saints are given a test where they go through a forest, being selected for a tournament upon completion, in which case the winner will advance to the middle class? ...This is the friggin Chuunin exam!
Also, Umakoshi must really hate Ichi. It's bad enough he's years behind Jabu's already weak posse; now he's losing out to noob Saints half his age.

Sweet. I'm in the camp that thinks Fate/Zero 1 was awesome, so info dumping isn't necessarily a bad thing.
space brothers - 03
It was kind of odd to watch this after lupan. Here are characters whose passions and dreams are laid out and detailed almost extravagantly, with flashbacks aplenty. It's a good show, a competent show, and while it may not be brilliant there's something reassuring about the consistency it displays.
Miyuki Sawashiro continues to sound hot in just about any role. It was kind of odd later on in the episode when we switched from Serika's monologue to Mutta's childhood flashback, as she voices his younger self as well. The two sound too similar. (Also I can't decide if being dad-zoned is a good thing or not)
Looking at who worked on this episode, all I can think of ishow no one watched House of Five Leaves the brilliant ED from the final episode of TWGOK.

Medaka Box 5
Good, they skipped right over the terrible painting chapter and moved onto the swim meet, continuing at the basic two-chapters-per-episode pace. Not much to say, really, though Shiranui fans will probably enjoy this one.
It's still a really underwhelming adaptation so far, even for the weakest part of the series.

In sales news, Hyouka has become the highest ranking show of the season in preorders, alongside or above Nyarko. Things are looking good for KyoAni.
I guess this goes hand-in-hand with those increased LN sales.
