I don't know man, I find Gaki no Tsukai extremely entertaining.
Because we'll never let firehawk live down his criticism of the show for being predictable(and then having all of his predictions turn out wrong).

They were great spies. How else could they have managed to get those gravity defying scarves?
The tracking shots certainly look odd.

Okay, that was pretty damn cool. So this is the power of ZA POWA.

Sounds like Japanese publishers are as overbearing as American ones.
Movie 5 is still the conclusion of the story and worth seeing.

I don't know how good an idea it is to make your 2nd to last episode 80% clipshow and 20% wat. Ah well, on to the last one.

Gaogaigar end
Very strong ending. So tense. I seriously believed
What a pleasant surprise. Gaogaigar fighting while
was badass and emotional as hell. Might be a tad cliche, but the execution was perfect. Very nice touch.
Don't really have the motivation to write up a big thing about the series as a whole. I thought it was just okay for the most part, but that could just be I have trouble getting into older mecha shows. I have no doubt in my mind that if this part of the digital era, it would be only a step down from Gurren Lagann tier. You can kind of tell this had a hand in inspiring TTGL (and probably Heartcatch too). Pretty happy I watched it.
Hell yeah I'm a hero!

they were gonna go for a downer ending with this one.
pieces of it inhabited by the A.I. of the other robots crumble while they all say encouraging things

Now watch Final, the best thing about GaoGaiGar.
And while you're at it, you might want to give Getter Robo Armageddon a shot (I will never stop pimping this show).
Anyway, finished Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt the other day and I liked it much more than I thought I would. It was fun and quirky, the first few episodes were not really good but it stepped up after a while. By the end I ended up liking the cast and wanting more of their adventures. The jokes weren't very funny, but I honestly don't believe the goal was to make the jokes laugh out loud funny anyway. The animation was great throughout.
Also X-Men, which was much better than it should be. I think the story could have been resolved in like two episodes, but I didn't mind really. The visuals were superb, so you'll definitely want to watch this for the eye candy.
this sounds like the perfect mystery for Hyouka's classics club
See this is exactly what I got out of Angel's Egg. Not any of that religious stuff that was supposedly in there.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have genre shift! Courtesy of Unzen.
Gainax definitely knows how to do action with a sense of tension. I just know it's going to hurt when this ends if this episode is any indication on how they would handle later post-genre shift scenes.

Moo.
There was some creative use of sound effects and stuff here, but I hate these episodes and everyone in them. Tsuwamooki is still awful. And Nanami is so insufferable that I can't even enjoy watching her unwittingly embarrass herself. Or... whatever it is that happened here.
Such a lazy episode that they couldn't even justify a logical in-scene reason for the shadow people to show up, soo they literally throw the backdrop in the middle of a field.
There's only one moore Nanami episode, right?

No, that wouldn't satisfy Chitanda.

That's a big swing. I was expecting some thing like Ranma when they aren't doing the serious arcs.

Even Ranma's serious arcs aren't much of a far cry from the normal stuff. Medaka Box is pretty much a full reboot when the shift happens.

edit: My single biggest issue with this show is the fact that it has completely and utterly failed at fleshing out Fujiko as a character to the point where I'm far more emotionally attached to every other major character that isn't her. This becomes a huge problem when the show requires me to sympathise with her plight as whenever it does, it completely and utterly falls flat. It reminds me of just how empty and soulless Ponyo felt when I watched it.

It's important to remember who you're logged in as when you're posting.
The best part of Jormungand isn't even in the show itself:
Neko-mimi Mahou-shoujo Angeru!
This is of interest to me.
I hope you liked the first episode because you're not done seeing it.
Thanks, I'll try to remember that, dad.

I guess it would have felt more impactful if we didn't know it was coming. Unzen was great though, he needed even more screentime. Definitely in my top three (Zenkichi, Akune, Unzen). Unzen sounds like a mixture of Toshiro Hitsugaya (Bleach) and Komatsu (Toriko).
I wish it played out differently, surely the other council members are competent

So I watched ep 1 and 2 of AKB0048 because I remember initial impressions here being interesting. Then up to 5. It's gone off the grimdark path quite easily (boo), veering closely into moeshit, but I do enjoy the absurdity of it so far and hope there is more of that. At least there's some mystery going on.
It's the only thing I've started and want to see more of at least.

Glad you enjoyed watching it. Now go watch FINAL.
I went back to read your post if it makes you feel better. I do appreciate these, but the thread moves too damn fast.
I really can't see how the show can only be 12 episodes. It will have to be so rushed or else seemingly cut off right in the middle.

People picking Escaflowne over the all-mighty Scopedog? This makes me feel wrong. A bit nasueous, too.
you should watch Earth Maiden Arjuna before it's too late.

Nice manga. Alright episode. Enjoyed the studying skit more than the commercial one.

So many pandas! RinRin aka Aizen is pretty much Cajunator for pandas. Panda imouto!
Second half was cute.
But...
This is disturbingly topical. Pandas in florida.

A wise post.
It'll definitely end with
the three holding Medaka after the fight and a tease for the Flask Plan arc we'll never get.
They'll manage it somehow.
