Shining Hearts: Bread of Happiness 5
Melty! The only character I remember from the game's screenshots appeared. That was so nice. Anyway, what is Madara's purpose, if Rick is in charge of the menu and making stuff, then I dont understand. Minor, but doesnt a Meat Baguette go beyond the scope of a bakery (and he wants to add more meat to it, it looked huge).

You have fulfilled your role well, Rick's Bread reviewer!
Sailor Moon R 56
I couldn't stop laughing during that entire segment
Their faces during the argument about who should be Snow White were amazing.
Anyway, this episode rocked from start to finish. Though you have to wonder about the constantly fluctuating state of Usagi's relationship with Mamoru, surely the rest of the Sailors
Not that it matters too much, especially when I'm still relatively early in the season.
Being Usagi is suffering
I really like the villains so far, they aren't stupid or dumb or really "evil", but they're distinctly inhuman as well.
NO
Poor An missed all her chances, it's her own fault for shutting Seijuro out though. At least she got her love pillow in the end~

You just don't see this kind of expression anymore #animeisdead

would respect that Usagi and Mamoru 1. have already hooked up in a past life and 2. hooked up again until their memories got wiped, and therefore they might back off a bit and give Usagi first choice?

Like with An completely missing the point of the ending of Snow White.

Wow this episode was awesome. I thought they needed to try to get Kouga out of the plot but if things like this will happen tag team and that friendship bonding, then we need more of Kouga/Alphas and Jin/Zet, of course with Jin doing 90% of the fighting since Alphas has some pretty dull skills anyway.

One of them stars in Fate/Zero Episode 10, while is called "Pizza Butt" and eats Pizza Hut while having great assets.
It was an easy decision!
It was an easy decision!
(Though to be fair, I haven't seen FSN...)
It was tough, but I chose C.C. Gluttony moe > zettai ryouiki.
The
completely random reunion between okama guy and his mom
You Shiranui fans will never touch zettai ryouiki.
... Wait a second...
She is the best.
Tsuritama 06
Yep another solid episode.
But man.
was looking pretty unsettling towards the end there
Really looking forward to seeing what happens next.

I knew it! It's time for him to
go crazy with the water pistol and possess the masses for world domination!
Swap the name out for something else and you have a scene from every romance/harem show that ever had a bland pussified viewer insert protagonist.

His return is nigh.
I don't think that's quite fair, most harem shows at least have somewhat decent character designs.
we need wonzo in here with that pic of the guy in the scene where he looks like human jello.
Y'know, I never really thought of it that way.

I understand why Nobunaga wants to go back to her time now. With such an useless guy as her first encounter, no wonder she rather go back.

Hidamari Sketch 6
So more nightmares/dreams for little Yuno today. It seems
A rolling parallel with her own growth over the months perhaps?
Last day of testing for Yuno and she's hyped for the shackles to be unleashed! But disaster strikes when
Nichijou! Don't be boppin', dawg! Also that very real anxiety of taking a multiple choice test and getting "too many" of the same letter answer in a row.
It's a very real problem, I tell ya's!
So, in a strangely straight-forward fashion, we follow Yuno through her testing. Her questions and thoughts being illustrated in the background.
Exams are over and summer begins!
Miyako goes to sunbathe
. Tan Miya is delicious, etc, etc. And I also get to see the debut of her symbol used in Season 3: the cat paw.
In other news, Sae gets caught
Haha, what a goof! Even though I know many people have done that at least one point in their lives. Anyways, she gets embarrassed, but not as embarrassed as when
More craaaazy dreams!

she kept the catepillar from the box of vegetables her parent gave her (which is now a cocoon) .

Everyone's weekly dose of adorable widefaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace.

Miyako and Yuno read her love stories! lol
Oh man, Haha. A pretty funny part here. The girls decide to go swimming and since Miyako doesn't have a bikini she takes a shirt and bikini shorts from Sae. When Yuno asks why no top, Sae says
Yuno and Sae have an awkward stare-off at this comment, it also leaves
I'm not sure if that's part of the joke, but Saw is an unapologetic perv! lol I like her better here than in Season 3.
So girls splashing each other with water until their sick of it is the summary of the "play time." This along with some chit-chat from the girls and some
snapshots of them posing in the pool.
Also "caterpillar-kun" turned
Well, all for now, yet another slice-of-life pic post from me. Relaxing show, this one.
She doesn't want to hear Miyako getting her boobs cramped in the bikini top.
Miyako with a wet T-shirt.
Zooms in closer between them about five times or so. I had a laugh.

Oh, and for anyone hoping that Sengoku Collection is going to stop being a series of fuckawful self-contained stories featuring the world's shittiest character designs, you need to pay more attention to the OP/ED.
I eagerly await the story that they manage to create for underboob soldier
This is a bit contradictory with the "New Original Anime Programming" promised in the press release considering it's nearly identical to what's already playing.http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/
TV Guide has a listing of the debut line-up for Toonami's return on May 26th:

This is something that has come up a few times on GAF and been confusing me. I can see the bland and pussified aspects, but if a character is really meant to be a viewer insert, why would they recoil in shame from having the girls make advances?
I'd think a viewer insert would be smanging all them waifus while shouting praise to the gods of swag.

Mysterious Girlfriend X 6
Like Tsuritama 6, this episode was livelier than usual (though not to the same extent). The animation was particularly fluid, with special attention paid to background characters. There was some lovely cinematography, such as when Urabe was focused on in the foreground while Tsubaki was talking to Ueno in the background, which emphasized the impact his words were having on her. Or when the camera moved back and forth between Tsubaki and Urabe's faces without cutting; that's a shot I haven't seen too often in anime, and creates a strong feeling of intimacy. Very enjoyable.

I understand that the two halves were drawn from different chapters of the manga. Linking them in this way was a very effective decision, as it contrasts Tsubaki's willingness to go to a cafe with Oka with his unwillingness to go to a cafe with his old crush. It makes it feel that he's progressing as a character.

Unless the underboob one's breasts have a falling out or something, then you can turn this into a smile/laugh.

Oddly enough, the actual game or whatever they based this off of, had guys in it.
No idea what their role was, maybe genderbent females of the Sengoku period?
I dunno, underboob soldier might be decent as she comes with a maid.

Those last 5 seconds:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW SHIT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW SHIT
I've always taken these viewer insert characters to be a reflection of who the viewers are, not who they want to be. I suppose that Japanese otaku appreciate stories about timid, boring, shy, and all around not-alpha guys having women fall all over them more than they care to have themselves inserted into the role of master sex machine/pervert/etc.
there's hentai for that, anyway.
You might be right. Dudes are probably Oichi, Nouhime, Inahime, and whatever few other notable sengoku-era women there are.
I wouldn't be surprised if they just run what they're already running on Saturday nights for a while just to raise awareness of the new block. It's going to be really disappointing if Toonami ends up just being the [as] anime block reskinned.

tsuritama saves the day. Thank you, tsuritama.
This show gets better with each episode.
After this week, I think it overtook Apollon as the best noitaminA show this season.
I don't think anyone expects the show to change at this point.

DUCKKU! I cant pick a favorite episode for this anymore. Each are just continually good. Really Yuki has developed well and interacted stunningly with everyone and I feel so happy whenever he accomplishes something. Now Akira needs some development to fit in with them better, though, based on last episode, seems like he never had friends or something.
Also so many emotions with the episode

Hilarious when dude pushed Natsuki Yuki into the water then fished right after, stylish shorts. I thought Akira was gonna attack Haru there and Haru actually seemed to get scared or something, what was up with being unable to squirt the water. Though, I hope he is able to build a friendship with him, seemed at the end he was nervous to approach Akira about it at the cookout

First half was actually kinda funny. Them Yuris.
And "loli is art" is the best part.
easily the best eps of the show imo.

Hm? I dont think every episode would be self contained. Nobunaga's goal seems to have been put on the backburner. Im not expecting a genre change but rather for the show to go deeper.

She unfortunately doesn't show up as much as she should, but the semi-frequently times she does is almost always fuckawesome. She seems to be playing a somewhat significant role in the current arc.
