One Piece 131 - 143

Just a night of fillers. Most were actually decent, Zoro's backstory was my favorite mainly because of how proficient he is at swords and that quote was cool "Using three swords is not the same as using three sword style, genius"! Then the actual filler arc, Rainbow Mist was compelling even though

was hard to wrap my head around. But finally Skypiea soon. Im hoping it can actually enjoy and like it animated, I disliked it in the manga.

The anime beats the going merry up so much :/

Don't worry, magical girl Illya won't be sexualized at all.

Eru's eyes really are a thing of beauty. It's such a shame they're attached to such a boring character in such a boring show.

yozakura quartet - hoshi no umi - 03

So uh, I just completely forgot about this until now. Anyone who's seen the first two will have a good idea as to just what it'll be like, though: a well-directed set of episodes with great animation about shit you don't care about.

The first few minutes are a bit of a mess because it's not like we had any clue as to what is going on in the previous OADs, but the overall premise is simple enough (MAMORU) that it's easy to sort out before long, and it's just there to bridge into the fantastic action and animation anyhoo.

The cute, expressive character designs really work well whether they're emoting or just doing backflips through the air. Animation itself can get giffy at times (no wonder considering the folks who worked on this), but it's still pretty spectacular stuff, though nothing in this installment is up there with a particular sequence in OAD2.

Also, it has hand drawn cars. I guess it's an ambulance so it doesn't count, though.

(I should probably get around to searching for ryotimo's doojins.)

 

[sleepykyo]

...yeah.

To be fair Magical Girl Nanoha was a spinoff of a rather risque anime and the first 2 seasons were pretty good. And had some great combat scenes.

Was gonna say, if that Ilya thing turns out to be half as badass as Nanoha A's it could be alright.

Naturally, the final antagonist is Girugamesh, but this Girugamesh is a little different from the one you're used to. Huhuhu~

They graduate . . . they're sent to Hawaii. They sometimes send back videos, to the lolis that took their place. It gives them hope. One day, they say, you can reach us here too; just follow Papa Song's words.

Too much loli gives me heartburn and constipation; it's really just a disgusting filler meat that gunks up your insides.

No rage? Something must have broken after episode 8 after all.

This was a really sweet movie with some good characters in it. The scene in the image was absolutely fantastic too and was heart warming. This movie could have done with an extra 15 minutes or a sequel, though. They built up all these wonderful characters and then end it very prematurely.

Overall, I give this a 7/10. Great characters, animation and story, but suffers from a rushed ending.

This was a cute movie. I liked the trio at the Cat Bureau too. The way they brought

Spoiler

The Baron to life

was exactly as I expected him to be.

While shorter than Whisper of the Heart, the story was better paced and the ending was satisfying. I give this one a 8/10.

Now I feel even sicker. Like a deadly virus has infiltrated into my nervous system, and tearing me apart bit by bit inside. I feel there is no hope for the world, and the future seems like a bleak place filled with emptiness.

[duckroll]

...yeah.

It's actually much better than anybody could have expected. I'm guessing they greenlit an anime of it because it was the easiest Fate-related thing they could adapt right now while the glory of Fate/Zero was fresh in everyone's minds, but they wouldn't have bothered if it was complete shit and sold badly.

Well, Studio Deen might have. I really want ufotable to do this too, they could do the fight scenes justice.

Why does this sound interesting? Why do I have any urge at all to want to check this out? Why why why? I feel I'm losing bits of my soul as I continue on today...

[duckroll]

Some of this looks sketchy... I thought kyousogiga was Winter, for one.

Are we really doing this already?

Anyway, Kyousogiga is rather dubious - I see listings for it as part of the fall TV season on a couple sites but I can't find any official confirmation of it. We don't even know if there will be Kyousogiga on TV - just that there's supposed to be more of it somehow, sometime.

Gyrozetter, Code:Breaker, and Busou Shinki have been confirmed for fall in addition to what's on that chart.

So... Kyousogiga was supposedly mentioned by Banpresto and Teoi as having a Fall release for whatever project it'd be, back in an event with Kazuki Yao.

I don't really see Kyousogiga's sequel, whatever it is, coming out in Fall. I would think Yuuki Hayashi (animation director/character designer) is too busy with that Summer-bound Mobage adaptation.

I don't think Kyousogiga is Fall. It might not even be Winter. They last mentioned it months ago, and haven't said anything since. If they don't have a sudden surprise announcement by next month, it isn't going to be Fall.

You guys just can't handle the truth as revealed by malgraphs.

Judging by all the comments here, it looks like the 'favourite genres' section is the least useful part of malgraphs. They should really rename is "you disliked/liked this amount of shows from a given genre'.

Perhaps you should learn as Kirei did that the search for pleasure triumphs over all things in life. Such are the lessons that Girugamesh can impart on you, if you are willing to listen to his wisdom!

Fate/Zero 17:

I actually had this episode spoiled for me by someone awhile back. If you're out there and you're reading this and you know who I am, fuck you.

Anyways, of all the Heroic Spirits, I always found Girugamesh the most awesome. I think it's because he alone of the Heroic Spirits was in charge of things and manipulated and controlled his Master to give him what he wished, not the other way around. Seibah has a cool sword laser, Rider travels around in a huge chariot pulled by angry bulls, Caster can summon a huge tentacle-rape monster to armor himself with, and BAHSAHKAH is BAHSAHKAH, but only Girugamesh took charge of his fate and nearly beat it, except for you know
