Excellent resolution to a Servant battle that's balanced out with...
a harem addition! King Arthur jeally of an albino loli.
smh

Also Saber goes from totally unashamed of being seen nude by Shirou to "You might not like what you see as I'm not young like Rin. *blush*"
This is the dumbest shit.

Fate/Stay Night 15

Not sure which was worse this ep.

This

or this.

Visual Novel spoiler:
In the visual novel, that's actually a sex scene. Shiro doesn't establish a "connection" with her to give her magic energy, he transfers engery in a more... direct manner. Rin helps as well.
 
I've been following the show via reference-info blog posts. Nyaruko has to be the most ref-porny reference porn in years.

I finished the 'Fate' route earlier today and remember this scene. And while I consider myself a champion of yuri
RinxSaber
it felt so weird and unecessary.

I figured as much. I think that would have been preferable actually.

I'm not the man
I used to be

Nostalgia explosion. Gankutsuou was the first or second anime that I ever watched that had never aired on American television, and I'm really overdue for a rewatch.

Speaking of Wolf's Rain, have you guys ever heard the djpretzel version of "Gravity" (titled "This Time Tomorrow")? I first heard it years ago and have been a big fan of the mix. I actually prefer it over the original.

It's okay, but Gravity is my favorite anime ED of all time because the combination of Maaya Sakamoto's voice and the piano + strings are just absolutely heavenly. Rock version by an angsty-sounding guy is a downgrade for me.

VN spoiler:
The replacement of the
sex scene
in the VN with the horrible CG dragon is literally one of the highlights of that anime. A similar replacement occurs in the UBW movie as well with similarly hilarious results.

Wait... What?

Uh... Well, at least that was fun to watch. Gotta love how Jin is the only character that makes any sense in this series.
"Are you truly an Amagi? Come inside to see your father's brains on the floor!", or *Shoots father and mother* "You are not evil, Jin!", or even the guys getting surprised at that pink-haired girl after she stated what they saw ten minutes earlier.

IIRC those were also the replacements used in the Realta Nua all ages PS2 version.

And [UBW spoilers]
Rin's wasn't so bad. I felt it was handled pretty okay, but what I really liked out of it was the music used for that scene, Futari no Koudou.

Eh, I've had enough experience watching television by now that I'm well aware anything could go wrong at any time. Thus I avoid getting so personally invested that a failure along the line seriously affects me. So even when something like Fujiko happens, well, of course I lament the unfortunate mistakes that were made but it's not hard for me to just shake my head and move on.

I have no interest in going through what I went through with the finale to Lost again.

The episodes leading up the Lost finale were weak enough to dampen my expectations for it.
Killing off John Locke was really the biggest mistake they made, the show never recovered after that.

Not a lot of surprises to be found here. Everything wrapped up entirely as expected with a little bow on top. I'd be lying if i said the lack of another
Happy Birthday
-like moment wasn't a tad disappointing but to be fair, that is quite a tough act to top.

As far as the show itself goes I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Obviously, it was entertaining enough for me to bother with it all the way to the end but then again, I'm pretty sure I dropped it at least a couple of times before eventually picking it back up for some reason or another. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that overall it was not a complete waste of time, maybe?

At least Zessica was always consistently hot.

Nice, hot bath, hot spring, and beach episode, so much Akuto Sai. They were all alright though clearly based on how the anime has been going pretty baffling in the regard for still just getting all the female characters naked at various points in time and not even for comedy, I mean, I can't recall a moment where Akuto actually enjoyed it.. If they had toned this down then the story and action would actually have made this one of the better short actiony anime, I have little hope that they can changed in the remaining episodes, though at least the action keeps getting bigger and better than ever and all the action scenes meet expectations and their potential (near dragonslaying for one), especially with the introduction of
brave, or I guess Hiroshi, that was pretty awesome to happen that he is now in power to rival even Akuto Sai.

That sea cucumber scene caught me off guard... :/ seemed to remind of stuff scene in fanarts.
 
I've never payed attention to the sex scenes in Fate/stay night, since there's no Yakety Sax playing in the background.

Besides, after encountering delicious Kotomine Kirei in the Heaven's Feel route nearly everything else feels inadequate in comparison. Through same strange turn of events Emiya Shirou somehow becomes second best character, though.

I initially thought that somehow during it course it had losts its way and became kind of uninteresting but they managed to save it someway. It was rather enjoyable and great.

Oh but even Zessica when
she was violated with Mykage?

Same here, my friend. I was just like, "Do sea cucumbers really look like that? It kind of reminds me of....... Oh."

Question: Do they use "Akuto Sai" in the subs rather than "Sai Akuto"?

Just imagine if the sea cucumber had ejected its own intestines as the species is known to do as a defense mechanism.

I will never look at the sky the same way again.
What do you want to bet those two will fall literally head-over-heels in love?

I love how off-the-wall the premise of this story is. It's ridiculously high-concept, but, at least through the prologue, the characters have kept it grounded and personal. I hope the movie gets released soon because I'm ready for another anime to sweep me off my feet.

Huh, that's a nice selection for Caster. Offing her Master immediately upon summoning was a nice touch. if this is ever remade by ufotable, I hope they give Saber's melancholy about her days of rule more play.

Holy shit at the male teacher fucking up Saber too. Oh my god, that was so awesome.

Awkward.

No wonder the teacher is so outgoing. She's making up for her disfigured feet.

Smile Precure 01

So I tried to watch Heartcatch the other day and made it through a few episodes. An utterly terrible show, every single thing about that show is terrible.

Being the kind soul I decided to not just logically write off all of Precure as a whole and to try out a different one.

And it's a good thing I did. The first episode of Smile Precure was thoroughly enjoyable. The premise and execution were well done in this first episode and the characters, the big bad wolf (hooray furry), the main character, and the mascot were much more interesting. The other girls introduced in the first episode are intriguing, the cute sporty girl with the Osaka accent (a shame her name is not Erika) and the heart attack inducing Yayoi (Ika-channnn) were the two that stuck out the most.

Will definitely be watching this one for the long haul.
