Ace o Nerae 13-17
Coachie knows the ultimate power of yuri teamwork...but has Hiromi practice for hours (and take multiple balls to the face and body) anyways even though it does nothing towards her progress as a competitive player.
The man's a boss!

Rinne no Lagrange ripped off Aim for the Ace:
Look at that 70s fingersex!
Also, scarves for Solune.

Probably has a higher budget than the TV show too.

The Tower of Druaga ~Aegis of Uruk~ 01 B
So, the "real" first episode or the non super funny one. I assume this is kinda what the show will be instead of forever parodies and it wasn't that bad. I am liking all the fantasy RPG stuff that's happening, there doesn't seem to be too much drama and it is nice to see Jil living out his dream while shit is happening all around him.
Dance with Aliens.

The show already having trouble fitting 1 book into 10 one hour episodes. A 2 cour would be a terrible butchered show.
I wonder how the OP/ED for the show would be.....THE WIND IS PUSHING MEEEE!!
24 one-hour episodes per book!
Imagine the filler! Or in this case the last book...

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san 3
I've been meaning to say that I find the OST for this to be great. Reminds me of Paper Mario.
This episode took itself far less seriously than the last one. Not that the other one did much either, but that's what I like about this show. Pervert girl is great.

Yep, indeed!It's only the bestcomedyanime ever, so yes you do.
I'm gonna have to rewatch for... reasons...
Also, scarves for Solune.
Becky should wear a scarf.

It's funny how some can marathon through several series in a row like butter but once it comes to gintama they back off easily, tis a sad thing.
You can marathon a show like...butter?

Dude, She took care of that problem by the end of episode 2. Their are more pressing matters, like making babies with each other and stuff.
Well I'll send them a box of lego if they want to make babies.

Eureka Seven Ep. 50
"Not all beings can remain in this land. Half of them will depart with us. ... If this world evolves for the better and two are able to become one, we will show ourselves before you once more." - Nirvash
"From here on, with you in one universe and us in a separate one, we shall seek a way for scub coral and humans to coexist. There's no reason that there cannot be more than one path of evolution." - Gonzy
So the Earth was split, both in terms of land and population, with half going to the other universe. AO must take place in the other universe, especially since Ao has the Nirvash. Crazy stuff.

[Legend of the Galactic Heroes] 028-030
Lots of words, can't hate. Phezzan is finally getting into the forefront of the story and lots of build-up towards a new Reinhard vs Yang confrontation. I particularly liked the little story bits with Lohengramm's lackeys, from them broing it up while murdering people to their different approaches to women. You can already tell which one of them will die first. :X
And now my current season backlog is starting to pile up like crazy. Why are you so good, LotGH?

Queen's Blade S2 2
And the Queen's Blade finally begins. Tomoe's first match is with Melpha, who has a very interesting fighting style, but it's ultimately Tomoe who wins. This episode also establishes Nyx, a character that wasn't even in the last season who was a former servant of Elina, but now serves some tentacle demon who rapes her every time she steps out of line. It's rather cruel. The next episode starts off with a battle between Nyx and Elina, so it should be fun.
TENTACLES!
Fujiko Mine 8
Okay, this was much better and its nice to see that some narrative hooks are starting to take hold, even if they are tentative. I'm fairly interested to see how it plays out now, even if it isn't the most cryptic of mysteries.
You said it. This episode was much better than the previous one just for the fact it featured most of the cast, and therefore didn't rest entirely on Fujiko, who is still not all that interesting when given the focus.

Even if the OP still makes me want to stab my eardrums, I actually kinda enjoyed this episode. I think the lack of action sequences actually helped in that regard as this show has proven again and again that it completely and utterly fails at adding any sense of weight or tension to them.
hmm, i sure would like to visit Middle Eastern Country A and European Country B one of these days.

I'm not sure if that is lazy or brilliant.

They should digitally insert Becky into the anime.
ockham's razor says lazy so i'll go with that
It's the latter, it's Anime's "Somewhere in the middle East..."
she's a genuine old-school genki catgirl. Those were always annoying.
The weirdest thing about it is that they're more than happy to name drop America, Germany, Spain, Italy and Russia and yet they can't even pull the name of a minor European and/or Middle Eastern country out of their arse. Can anyone who's read the manga please comment on whether or not this was also the case in the original work?

We don't like to talk about those round here. It's been an issue before iirc.
Why can't it be both?
I can understand that its a relatively touchy subject to broach, although I can abide this hilarious alternative!
Noted. I should have seen that coming. Silly me.
For the most part it is exactly the same, pretty specific with some locations but only leaves vague references to others. I don't know the reasons, though.

I wonder if the Japanese even care for world geography these days. Knowing how crooked their schooling system is, they'd probably still think, to some extent, that existence revolves around them

Yes, the manga tries not to make references to real warzones.
Its just typical genki behavior. you either like it or you don't. Like tomo-chan for example, or Excel. Some people get super annoyed, I think its adorable.
Yea. The whole main series was pretty loose with the game because it was Takahashi's game to do what he pleased with and make it work however he wanted a fight to end.
It's not until after that, with GX, that the series tries to stick close to the card game. Since at that point its nothing more than an advertisement for it.
Its like having a friend that just wont stop talking or moving
Well, that's basically like me, so I can't say shit about such people. I'm exactly that way.
