Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
It's probably the Hojo Clan family crest.

Look, feelings are important. That's why they need to be expressed.
At least playing the Odawara Castle stage in Sengoku Basara 3 several dozen times wasn't completely for nothing!

What I'm readying here seems to imply that I shouldn't bother extended my knowledge of Aim for the Ace beyond the original season. Even with Dezaki back for the final season I have no interest in watching a show with 'grounded' characters - that's not what Dezaki excels at.

Well, the final season is a denouement after all! Not everything can be about bitches being bitchy.

Dezaki works best with the mentally-unstable, it seems. Just look at Danpei, or Joe even!
Best expressed through hairstyles.

And through postcards, signed name-with-ink. Dezaki must be the brashest man to ever hold a pen, because his name is written all over those postcards.

The Tower of Druaga ~the Aegis of Uruk~ 03
The whole assassination plot was literally covered up which was silly. I'm not really like male protag's whole sense of justice especially with him mostly butting in the whole time trying to be truthful and stuff. I was amused with monsters literally falling from the sky and causing mayhem just as everyone's leaving the town to climb the tower. It's like they are just avoiding one problem by running off into this mystical tower.
Not a bad episode. Mostly done to fill out the remaining party members relatively quickly and get back to climbing.

Knowing him, he's probably already seen it.
Nope, we just introduced him to this show a few days ago, he has yet to watch it!
Sengoku Collection 09:
The Historical Ise Shinkurou is credited as being the earliest daimyo of the Sengoku era and lead conquests well into his 80s.
Sengoku Collection Ise Shinkurou is a violent hikkikomori meido with psychokinetic powers.
Possibly the most unremarkable episode of the show yet. It was completely devoid of any kind of creativity whatsoever and didn't even provide the consolation of being profoundly bad to make up for the lack of substance. I kind of have nothing to say. It looks like

Interesting...
That's the face of someone who believes everything that they hear as long as it's on television. Granted, SAMURAI FOR MURDER 2 is pretty manipulative.
Has anyone ever considered the possibility that all of the games in the Legend of Zelda franchise take place in an alternate future Japan where the Houjou clan eventually overtook the Ashikaga shogunate and reigned unchallenged for thousands of years?

well... it had a half decent non pedo-gag run.

These are pretty damn good. I eneded up watching these on their YouTube channel as the flashplayer on that site's even worse than Crunchyrolls.

Dance scene Toriko/Coco Matsu/Sunny was funny and getting closer to Zebra. I bet he has an entire arsenal of epic skills.

I thought maybe every cop in the area had learned about Atsushi (like they should have after all this time). Guess not.

When I saw that, I thought "Firehawk's going to complain about that, isn't he?" Glad to be proven right.
I reserve my dropped list for tripe like Gundam.
I guess I will try to look at karuta matches differently and lower my expectations and keep going.
Tsuritama 8 - I really LIKED the emotional tone of this episode. It had a kind of happy-sad thing going on throughout, like "let's enjoy the good times.. but something big is going happen tomorrow" I'm not so sure how to accurately describe it, but that's what it mainly felt like to me! really excited for next week.
Kids on the Slope 8 - 7th was right all along. The characters are glorified plot devices. It wasn't a BAD episode though, but I'm definitely not feeling where they are going with the end-game climax compared to say Tsuritama

I am a big fan of that Madoka Swimsuit and Lan with that new hair and glasses.

That development at the end. Oh shit!
That was certainly a lively episode with lots of resolution and emotional release. I suppose that means we're reaching endgame territory, as
the "final boss" will undoubtedly serve as the ultimate test of the four's friendship. Now that most conflicts within the group are resolved, we're now transitioning to a larger external threat that involves all of them equally
More than anything, I'm just glad that

I liked that tone as well; it reminded me of an episode of Haibane Renmei.

It didn't really feel like a penultimate episode. Though at least there was Anderson. Ayumu was funny again and that was all nice and touching with what he did.

Kids on the Slope: Episode 07
This show has a beautiful heart.
So many wonderful music performance moments.
Sure, some of this is extremely cheesy, but ask me if I care.
It still astounds me how lackadaisical they are with the passage of time.

Having just watched the newest episode, the characters in Tsuritama feel like genuine human beings while the characters on Slope feel like soap opera characters. The fact that Tsuritama weaves its character development into the overarching meta-narrative makes it feel like a character-first show. Even the "weakest" character, Akira, has a full arc that feels genuine - moving from sceptic to friend over the course of 9 episodes.
I'm okay with bad writing, if you're trying to make something that's supposed to be "bad" in some way.
Thumbtacks in Oka's shoes? It's so unbelievably bitchy that it wraps around into something awesome.
The two go to female tragedies -

having sex
The last

Oh, and duh - since I'm the only one directly comparing the two shows - the

Eureka Seven AO - Episode 8: One Nation Under A Groove
This is one of those obviously outsourced episodes where the majority of the character animation and art feels off and looks kinda bad. Still, I enjoyed what they did with this episode. They expand the world a little more with another stock mission, Fleur and Ao grow closer together, more character development, all mecha pilots have daddy issues, and some interesting suggestions on Generation Bleu's relations with the rest of the world. Probably the cheapest episode of E7AO so far in terms of production values, but it's still better than this week's Apollon. What does that say? Lol.

I actually starting to kinda dig the references and in-jokes in this show. I think it's the Omigawa effect. Gotta go wash my brain again.
You mean 4-weeks? it has 4-episodes left!
