Rick's Bread's ED single is out today, guys.
Oh yeah.
Amazing, the same dead eyes that we know and love.

Nami is an anomaly as the rest of the crew evidently thinks that piracy is some kind of cheerful anarchism instead of, y'know, the usual plundering and killing. They're only so combat-oriented because they all support Luffy's goal to be the Pirate King.
Gonna listen to his theme song right now.
Because they are.
Yeah, alright. But One Piece's a different kind of masterpiece.

I'm with you the second this season ends. I have a year's worth of episodes to catch up on. The pacing is so bad that I just wasn't able to watch week to week any more and the anime is currently in the middle of my least-favorite arc (outside of Davy Back Fight) anyway, so I'm also glad to have the advantage of being able to blow through half or more of it in quick succession.
For those up to date with the manga, in a few weeks the show should just about be at the point where
Hody Jones gets his shit wrecked
The Scared Blacksmith 4
I guess Luke being a more frustrating male lead than Mahiro from Nyaruko is good for something but I think that's more a testament to how awful of a character Cecily is rather than Luke.
The Sacred Blacksmith 5
Gaahh, I really liked this episode. An episode dedicated to Lisa being adorable was what it was. It was totally slice of life and I enjoyed every minute of it.
I especially liked the scenery and backgrounds. I'm a real sucker for dawn and dusk shots, so the use of purple during the initial minutes of the episode resonated with me. It evoked this feeling of being familiar and other-worldly at the same time.
I don't think I should have typed that.
I reaaaaallly do not like how easily Cecily is willing to give up her possessions as well as her body just to make things right in the world. It's a good thing she was offering herself to Luke instead of just any other man.

I did not however enjoy that severely minor display of dere from Luke. For how much of an ass he is, I require much more gratitude for a girl who is basically his servant.

I... don't think I've hit that episode yet but I will keep an eye out for it.

You should take a peek. At least up until episode 2.
I've heard the same. It's a shame there's plot in this show. Episode 5 demonstrated to me that it would probably work better as a slice of life with some hints of plot, a la Rick's Bread.

Is "Tony" a common Japanese name?

That's not his real name, apparently.
But where is sniper island?

Brave 10 9
So now they finally decide to explain what's going on. It only took them 9 episodes. For being an anime where everyone bleeds profusely every episode, Ana seems to be immune to it. It's like her fights are on the SNES version or something.
The laughs start with the thread title.

Space Brothers 9
A very sobering episode yet one of the funniest ones.
was a strong theme here. The way the show has utilized it's visuals has been nothing short of clever as well as reflective of the internal hopes, happiness and anxiety we humans experience.
I've seen the trailer for the live action film and (spoilers)
On a separate tangent, how does a show like this get aired in Japan at 7AM?

if that truly spoils the fact that Mutta will become an astronaut then I'm fine with that. The journey is what matters and the journey Space Brothers has presented is a grand one.

Best Student Council 07
This episode was surprisingly decent. I actually found myself laughing at some points (Sayuri trying to show off some sex appeal was awkward and hilarious). It was also nice to see the student council handle a matter seriously for once, as I was pretty convinced they were just going to pull some more shennanigans and whip out the youth cannon or some other absurd plot ending device.
Best of all, this episode was focused on Mayura who in my opinion is the best girl in the student council with Rein following at a close 2nd.

The last time I watched an animu so enamoured with its own verbiage was Bakemonogatari. At least this doesn't have any borderline illegal antics yet. Oh wait,

In more uplifting news, I convinced my imouto to check Kids on the Slope and she loved it! She watched every episode released so far in one evening.
have I told you about Kiritsugu yet Kiritsugu is so nice I wish I were Kiritsugu because Kiritsugu is like the best and sometimes I dream about Kiritsugu and I dream Kiritsugu and I wish I were Kiritsugu and Kiritsugu will get into my pants I will feel like a Kiritsugu
It's funny because it's outdated.

As well as the reading experience of Bleach!
That fight was around the time that I really started to completely turn against the series.
It's a kids show? Whhaaaaattt? I didn't know that. That seems on par with the ridiculousness of classifying Up as a kids movie.
