Accel World - 11
I somewhat regret just looking up the summaries for the last ten episodes on wikipedia.
That was fun. It's the silly 2d mecha action show that takes itself way too seriously that I've been lacking in my life. All the somber dramatics over a random betrayal in this MMO was amusing in itself, but then things started blowing up and it was like, cool.
I don't think I'll ever go back and watch those earlier episodes or anything (just reading the summaries was kind of painful), but I'm pretty excited to see how it ends.
And man, Snowblack-Hime-Senpai is my waifu. She's like the ultimate magical girlfriend.

How nice to have a show about a girl who heal people's grieve with her companion who is once part of a realm with Satan, God, Spir....Wait what?

I would suggest to read the manga but watching the show without any knowledge is a better idea on showing how epic this anime/manga would be.

Ha!
You know, when I try this anime I'm going to unjustifiably and with unapologetic pose use Disney's Aladdin pictures and references.
It will be glorious.

Has good action and character design, already have a favorite.
Hiiro No Kakera 13
That was so worth twelve previous episodes. Tamayori hime got all epic and such! Wow, she is definitely the best princess that Ive seen so far. When she got into that serious mode and went all " I command you", it was nice. She and Takuma are also so great and then Mahiro getting all emotional too.
Actually loved the embrace scene when she pulled Takuma out of the Oni state and the gold was floating around as she first awakened, and then when she commanded him to calm down as he nearly lost control yet again with the Onikirimaru, which is a sword, who would have thought that? That was actually nice, hopefully he uses it next half too
Mahiro has been my favorite fighter and then second would be Takuma, wind looked so great especially against the guy Mahiro always fights, and then Takuma against Eins.
This anime has been good and well worth it so far. Second half in the fall cant come fast enough.
Good trailer. I'll have to look in on the manga, the premise and setting sound interesting though. I wonder how many people watched AGE for this lol.
Hey that Lupin trailer was pretty good!

Hunter x Hunter 36
Well that was a terrible fight.
Anyway the visuals were really good especially with the water droplets and all that Hisoka emphasis, hes pretty crazy and intense about Gon.
Next episode looks great and fun with Killua and Gon, cant wait.
Well that was a terrible fight.
The protagonist is supposed to go all out and destroy the opponent. Gon wasnt supposed to be that beat up and lose, and even worst attempt to blame it on the referee. Hisoka actually rose to the occasion and was pretty epic with just Bungee Gum. Surely gon could have used some nen special attacks or whatever, not just simple punches. Im really disappointed in him. Hopefully if Gon faces him again he will actually be more impressive.

Magi's looking pretty good, so far. It's easy to pick material that looks like decent sakuga, however, and the real test for the animators is animating the rest of the scenes, without the need for flashy action and all that.

Summer Anime 2012 | Yes: We Believe in the Truth
Hermes - Wings of Love
This film, in the Happy Science series, is brought to you by the letter i.
As a film this isn't so offensive to the brain as Laws of Eternity since it's basically an anime adaption of Greek Mythology mixed into a blender, with the biggest helping being the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.
The film clearly hopes you don't bother to read up about Hermes since you'll realise they made the story completely up. For starters Hermes was the son of Zeus and a god. He also was not a prototype for the Trinity. But at the same time, ignoring the typical "these are true event" disclaimer at the beginning, the film doesn't seem to be beating you over the head with some weird beliefs. Putting it simply, if I wasn't told this was a propaganda film I wouldn't have known.
and this is where we really lost the plot
Also note this is meant to be Pan, the one with goat legs and horns.
Talking of propaganda, I am left confused on what I am meant to take away from this film. Is Happy Science telling me that Greek Mythology is true? Or just one little bit since entities like Zeus are never mentioned. Also Laws of Eternity told me Christianity and Buddhism were the key. And where are my Atlantan airships? Basically this is the pick 'n' mix of cults, hoping that everyone can agree with them since there's going to be at least one sweet in the Haribo Starmix that you like. Save yourself two hours and listen to All You Need Is Love since that's basically the conclusion of the film. As a bonus you'll also avoid three terrible musical numbers.
Worldwide orgy courtesy of Happy Science!
In conclusion a very liberal take on Greek Mythology that is meant to teach me about a cult but does a terrible job at it. No wonder they needed to make a bunch more films.

Bleach whatever was on last night
More filler, but it was enjoyable wacky filler. I'll be much more down if they had wacky episodes of silly things happening instead of whatever serious business Bleach tries to do.

Yay!
AKB0048 #9 - It turns out that AKB-hearts are some kind of terrible infectious disease. I'm starting to think that AKB0048 is actually the codename for some kind of sentient virus designed to spread and self-propagate, and that the whole music/concert thing is simply a means to attract as many potential carriers into the infection zone as possible.
Currently watching Dead Space Aftermath. Who greenlights this crap? It's like some 90's cgs, Appleseed remake style on the cheap, abomination.
edit: And now a change in animation style. I guess it's better. At least more conventional.
edit2: And back to crappy cgs.
edit3: Paging Femmeworth.

Gon doesn't have special attacks (yet ) ..His training was basic nen knowledge and stat raising .. Doing spectacular things with your aura is "hatsu" and gon is not even there yet .
His training instructor only made him increase his aura son that his hatsu becomes stronger .. nothing more .. Stats raising .. Special skills will be for later
That's also one of the reasons hisoka only "toyed with him" during this fight he is just checking that gon has indeed the potential to be even better so he can destroy him later ..
You'll understand in the Arc after the one that will start next week...
It's also why hisoa want a Gon fight all out when he'll be even stronger without rules ...
If Gon was "just" punches, hisoka would have killed him easily just like he killed castro.

Im guessing it was one of those materialized zanpaktou filler, the ones that was after they actually resolved the plot for them, Im remember quite a few were hilarious, ah the days of watching it weekly.

Well of course. It's shounen manga, it's going to have that.
Well, that was a bit abrupt. I was hoping for at least a couple more minutes to the ending, but it's just like

It's probably not something I'd go back and rewatch, but I definitely don't regret watching it. The music at least is very good and I'll be adding some tracks to my playlist from this anime.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu 25
Finally, the movie! This was quite enjoyable due to Kyon's silly attempt at covering up for the crappyness of the movie itself, the bad edits and stuff that I only now get having suffered through the earlier episodes of watching this damn thing get made.

Gunslinger Girls season 1 is an extremely well made, classy production. Not convinced? Just check out this trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB1MeTAsTks
I hear nothing but bad things about the sequel though.

That dream sequence was pretty great, I wish there was more of them. And Oka as usual demonstrates why she is better than Urabe in this episode.

So now Tsubaki can finally hug Urabe without the fear of getting cut to pieces. So I guess 2 more years until they can start kissing.
Things are looking good for us and Pierrot.
Yeah, I typo'd. My bad! Went back and fixed it.
