Smile PreCure 18

This episode seemed pretty bland initially - The protagonists end up running together for a competition and Yayoi thinks that she can't do it. The humor seemed worse than average even and the animation had no highlights. Yet, in the end, the episode itself was still at least average due to some unexpected moments -

Spoiler

mostly Yayoi hearing her classmates talking behind her back and also Nao's failure in the ending.

Those events aren't really that special, but they were just so out of place for this series they hit harder than usual, like when Yayoi just froze right before opening the door to the classroom and stood there, before leaving silently. I've seen several variations of that scene, but didn't expect it in this show.

Next episode seems to be fairly serious too considering some of the shots in the preview. It'd be interesting to see the show having a slow tone change, although I guess these two episodes coming right after each other are just coincidences and we'll be back to the standard humorous hijincks in two weeks.

Fly to a new stage gundam! Fun episode on the battlefield, its almost like Kira is an X-rounder at least the way they presented one scene

Spoiler

when he went all series to destroy the missiles targeting archangel

But romance in Gundam!?!

Spoiler

Flay was like naked in his room. I didnt think he liked her in that way to go that far with her, and then those random cut in scenes. Just why Flay

:/

Oh, the humanity.

Lesson of the story: It always sounds and looks better in your head.

Toradora!

This was really good. I'm actually surprised how much I liked it seeing that I enjoy action shows the most. The characters were extremely lovable, and I kind of miss their antics already. I marathoned the show in like 5 days, so that also says something about how much I liked it. But yeah, visually this was great, the direction was on point most of the time and the use of music was really good too.

Taiga for life yo.

Lesson: We have the Internet, stay out of local stores to minimize backfire.

We are 5~ episodes away from the Pierrot revival, though.

Ace o Nerae! Movie (1979):

This film singlehandedly convinced me never to watch anything else in the franchise ever again. Even if

Spoiler

you-know-what

didn't happen, I ask myself if I would have understood what was going on in the film if I hadn't seen the series beforehand. I'm honestly not sure, because the content was largely a series of training montages strung together like a slapdash highlight reel from the series without boiling the narrative down to a cohesive film-length size. All of the elements that made me enjoy the first series were largely obliterated.

Abashiri Ikka 1-4:

I can safely say that this is the worst anime that I've ever watched to completion. I want to fly to Japan just to punch Go Nagai in the face.

Tales of the Abyss 12

Tear <3

Pretty good episode. Largo spliting trees in half, Natalia shooting shit, Guy vs. Luke, the first half was pretty intense. The second half has to deal with more political drama, with how we learn Guy is a Malkuth Count and that Luke and co. are the only ones that can save St. Bina due to government bureaucracy. Oh yeah, and cute pigs. At the very end St. Bina starts to collapse and in the sky appears the Albiore. So I guess they decided to skip the whole part of getting that thing from the game, sine I always thought it was really weird.

Cute girls doing cute things.

Well this was an interesting episode. Really can't wait for the next one.

Also, did anyone else think that girl on the bus looks like someone from Apollon?

Well that was great stuff. Looks like I got nowhere to go but downhill from here according to you folks.

PS - Where did everybody's avatar go?

And now our avatars are gone. I guess it's time for me to go do something else for a while...

Good thinking, but I don't have my avatar saved on this computer, so I guess I'll just have to post the source.

Oh wait, that's probably not the best thing to do...

 

[Regulus Tera]

Toradora! is one of the best animus ever, fuckers.

Also video games are so dead I might go back to animu after all.

Nooooo! Unfinished is a good song why isn't anybody buying it.

Just got that in along with my other anime shopping for the month:



But my biggest present to myself this month is this!
Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Blu-ray Box
Been wanting this to exist for years. Sooo happy.

Lots of stuff inside. Pics here:

I love the Ano Natsu covers, they look great

I dunno but I blame KyoAni

 

[Regulus Tera]

At least KyoAni doesn't regurgitate the same tripe again and again despite using similar aesthetics.

Wait, Endless Eight. Never mind!

Don't spam your goddamn avatars in every posts! I know it's a joke, but just in case!

It hurts me that you would think so lowly of us.

 

[madp]

I dunno but I blame KyoAni

Success of Haruhi and K-On! create explosion of moeshit anime -> Japanese gamers increasingly buy moe games -> moe games increasingly sell badly in the west -> western gamers turn to shooters because of the lack of alternative -> shooters take over gaming.

Makes sense.

Yurumates 3D is confirmed to be getting a second season. I may be the only one who cares about this, but yay!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Ben Ettinger finally got back to his Fujikoike coverage.

Once again: he's finding a whole bunch of bullshit complaints to fill in for some more interesting insight. Confusing script? It was perfectly fine to read and follow along with. OOC behavior? Watch the Osumi episodes that the last two episodes have been paying homage to&#8212;Lupin shot people in those episodes too, and there was still time for the usual character relationships to take play. Erratic directing for Fujiko? I thought the moment with her, Shintoto, and the lingering thought of L.Y.A. in her mind was a real shocker, literally at that!

This is truly the most divisive Lupin production ever made. Everyone's going bonkers about it, though, and it's certainly amongst the most memorable Lupin productions yet made.

Yurumates 3D is confirmed to be getting a second season. I may be the only one who cares about this, but yay!

I'll watch pretty much anything with Momoi voicing the lead.
