Fuck no. Besides the combat, everything else about that game is terrible. Story, characters, party chemistry, music, visuals.
*huff huff*
I was going to make a comment about their rods but now I really think I shouldn't.
edit: Ah, didn't notice cosmic beat me to it.

Phantasia has a decent plot at least for its time. Not to mention, it was heavily condensed into an OVA so even less time wasting in the plot. And people don't usually hate the characters in Phantasia, they just think they are bland. Which they are.

Episode 8 has ruined this show for me. Now I'm just hunting for QUALITY stills and there weren't any shots comparable to last week's feast for the eyes.
In any case, at least this show's best girl has now surfaced. She's nice and isn't some idol-industry fueling drone like the main cast. She's knowledgeable about the island and has a big intelligence.

Gaogaigar Final 2
This is already a shitton more intense than the TV series. I'm just think the whole episode "what the hell, Mamoru!". Didn't think the reason would be revealed so soon.
I'm definitely gonna blow through this.

Tales of the Abyss 3
Blood is apparently luminescent in this universe. And how the hell is Largo supposed to survive a stab like that? The scene with Guy saving the day was dealt much better here than it was in the game. Not really sure what they were thinking in the game... Also Legretta~! So far I'm liking this anime adaptation. The next episode seems to combine both the river and the manor so I guess the anime will start picking up speed, though really nothing really happens much story-wise at the river in the game anyways.

Sankarea 9
A good chunk of this episode was filler, which is pretty weird so late in the show. I did like the foreshadowing with the Furuya mother and the implication
That was a well-adapted scene.

she was probably a zombie.
Sankarea Episode 09
For a filler episode this wasn't bad. It was a nice sidetrack from the overlying story but I'm still frustrated at the positioning of it since things were getting pretty intense story-wise last episode. Regardless, it was nice to see things from Mero's point of view and I liked seeing the friendship grow between her and Rea. It was cute and surprisingly heartwarming considering that she doesn't get much screen time and hardly shows any emotions. This scene in particular was also pretty adorable.
The preview for the next episode seems interesting.

So looks like things are going a little out of sequence from the manga. Seems like we'll see the back story regarding Rea's mother next week.
Oh, I believe I can handle it.
My Cute tolerance is exceedingly high.
Whats that other cute show? Manabi Straight was it?

All in all a pretty enjoyable show. The last arc was pretty damn stupid but for the most part was good enjoyable stuff.

[Aim for the Ace 22 - 26]
"If only you were a man, you'd have beaten me" - 70's anime had interesting positions when it came to men and women.
Of course not every show from this era was like that, see Rose of Versailles, but that's definitely the exception to the rule.
Anyway, overall the series was a thoroughly enjoyable shoujo sports melodrama.

I must witness more works that are blessed with the "Dezaki touch."

Rose of Versailles was from another manga author, the same woman who did Oniisama e.
Of course, Dezaki adapted those too.
Look into Maburaho for superior eel fanservice.

So Konami unveiled the new animated opening for the Zone of the Enders HD Collection. Animation is by Sunrise, complete with CG mecha action. :\ Should have asked Bones to do it.

It looks not bad, much better than the opening of the PS2 version.

I don't know, I kinda prefer the Anubis: ZoE opening to it. It just had a more pumping feel to it despite being spoiler heavy (though this is as well) CG might be an improvement over PS2 gameplay footage I guess.
You wouldn't hit a guy with yuri goggles, would ya??

Yeah, the trailer for ZoE2 had much better editing when it came to showing the action. I hope they still include it.
No, but I will give you one nasty stare.

I guess in the 70s, getting into an exclusive club and getting bullied was a shoujo trope. That's not all that different from the way things are now, actually. lol
Infinite Stratos 3 "The Transfer Student is the Second Childhood Friend"
the name of the ep says it all. well... it doesn't mention that the IS can somehow transform into things as small as earrings or wrist bands or the complete lack of an accent for the chinese girl. even if she does sound like a 40 year old smoker at times it's still a wasted opportunity
the dreaded kanon chin has claimed yet another victim

why is this show so terrible?
i don't think i can last that long

I think they wanted to avoid the "Ching Chong" accent. Campy or not, racist is racist. lolInfinite Stratos 3 "The Transfer Student is the Second Childhood Friend"

surely they could've pulled of a campy accent that wasn't racist as hell

Given that the other foreign accents were deliberately horrible, I don't think so.surely they could've pulled of a campy accent that wasn't racist as hell

The best way to re-experience this timeless classic.

Shin Ace wo Nerae
Okay, I finally figured this all out now. Shin Ace wo Nerae is both a remake and a continuation. So, to use a modern analogy, Ace wo Nerae is Fullmetal Alchemist and Shin Ace wo Nerae is Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood.
For example, Goemon gets a friend:
And given how Shin ends, it looks like the movie is a compilation of Shin Ace wo Nerae - which suddenly makes more sense. So, the movie is probably the best way to experience the "Shin" story since it is a combination of Dezaki + budget.

How does one dislike Asbel and Richard? The best interactions in the Tales games. Asbel definitely my favorite main.
Yeah but music and visuals were lacking, no memorable music tracks.

See Chet, she is smart! And now I know where the infamous gif came from.
Previous jokes about their intelligence aside, the dynamic of the group is working for me now. it will be iteresting to see the progression that the band takes throughout, Yui particuarly. I'm not sure entirely what I'm looking for from this series, but it's so unassuming it pulls you in. Oh my, I'm becoming invested aren't I?
The proverbial carrot (cake) at the end of the stick.
An entertaining episode, very reminiscent of the troubles I had completing my dissertation (sans the rolling around part), slackers gonna slack and all that. And 100% in the resit?! The teacher has a hand in that...
