This episode looked rougher than usual, with the lines not as sleek and the animation not as smooth. I didn't personally appreciate the slight change in style, though I recognize it is a valid stylistic choice. I wasn't as drawn into this story as the last one, primarily because I found the twins annoying. The best scene was in the grandmother's memories,

when she came to terms with the loss of her husband.

Pretty compelling episode and a great match. So glad it went against my prediction for their first official match, truth be told, it was great. Announcer dude returned, hes so excited always one of my favorite side characters in this. Next episode looks fun

that mythical feint
I don't really think it'll look or feel like a Gainax show, anyway. Dantalian sure didn't. It wasn't completely terrible (not good, either, but that might have been the source material), but it was so incredibly generic that I wouldn't have had any doubts if someone told me it was by Xebec or Satelight.

If it means Kumagawa showing up, "interesting" would be an understatement.

Just started watching daily lives of high school boys. I haven't laughed this hard in a while.
If you enjoyed it, why not?
I'd imagine most of it is because of Kirino
I think he insulted Zidane's sister. Some people say that Italy's coach knew some of Zidane's personal life because they were both in Juve for a couple years, and told Materazzi to make Zidane uneasy with that info.
There's some questionable stuff later on that GAF will certainly dislike, though.. :/
But then our hearts will be empty.

The people who watched while it aired waited for months. You and I have to wait a week. Be thankful.

Lucky that Code Geass has already a second season, so I can continue watching. But I fear I shouldn't. So I am asking you Anime, should I watch the second season of Code Geass?

Without happy, this show would last like 13 eps.
We need more Yayoi eps.
Some new gifs.
Japan really have no clue what Thunder actually is.
And here's something to kill Cajunator.

It doesn't exactly say that.
For background to the others, that link is for a SpaceBros library card that you can collect points on. At the end it says "can accumulate points until the end of broadcast June 24" which could mean the show will end but could also mean you only get points until that day.
It's got great mech action, i'd say go for it.

Yes. Its a fabulous trainwreck.
Sure, if you liked season one.
It's worth a watch if you liked the first season.

Code Geass R2 might have one of the best endings for a 50 eps show around.

Requiem from the Darkness 13 [END]
A dark series that happened to take an even darker turn at the final stretch. The relationship between
is a little subtle and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I found it a well done sub-sub-sub-sub element of the plot.
Overall, I liked this series, only disappointed by its lack of a solid storyline from the very start. The final three episodes worked well and it's a shame that the majority was taken up by episodic "mysteries." The mysteries were neat, dealing with carious demons and their origins/source vices, but it should have never been the pivot of the season early on. Nonetheless, I loved the gang and Mr.Author.
For a textbook "scardey cat", Mr. Author solidly represented the idea of morality and naivety in the face of sin are selfishness. This made his instantly more interesting to watch than a "normal" goody-two-shoes. The contrast of his beliefs with the gang is what made his character all the better made and it visually showed a change of heart within the group as well. Their interactions are an example of a great way to display the battle of "light vs. darkness".
A solid ending for a solid show.
"AYE!"

She's the magical girlfriend! And he's so inept that he's not interested in her except in his fantasies!
And of course, she also voiced Haruka. No wonder her voice sounded so familiar!
Closer inspection on the image at the site and what they are promoting the campaign as to TV viewers on their set-top indicates that this is a promotional campaign to commemorate the launch of the series broadcast. If this is the case, it would actually make sense for the campaign to only last for the first cour, instead of for the entire run of the series. So yeah, you could be right and the campaign runs until the conclusion of the 13th episode, after which the launch period of the broadcast is over.

I love how pretty much all non-action space stuff in fiction is always about dreams. Not that I'm complaining. It always has that "epic" music and generally good atmosphere, and this continues that trend.
Mutta seems like a relatable everyman with big dreams, but a slightly cynical viewpoint to hold him back from accomplishing that (for now). In other words, the perfect protagonist for a series like this. Very interested in how he grows.
This also makes me want a ST&Rs anime.

Fuck, that was the other astronaut thing I was thinking of.

Thanks. Even if the "fabulous trainwreck" comment makes me nervous, it can not be worse than stuff like Guilty Crown.(How did I even survive that anime?) Going to comment after I finish Season 2.

What so hard about a five day wait?
Oh.. that's all?
Awesome
edit - I burned through Fate/Zero 1 in less than 24 hours.. I just couldn't stop watching..
Do you think it would be worth playing fate/stay night before season 2 of /Zero or should I just skip it?
I've been trying to piece together the timeline so I can make sure I get all of the necessary bits.. but there seem to be a lot of related series and such across a wide variety of mediums.. its hard to know what is related to what chronologically..

Actually, she's "Lovely"!
Hinagiku is the worst Hayate no Gotoku girl. Speaking of which, I need to watch the movie.
If there's one thing that can kill my Medaka Box hype, it's being reminded just how un-Gainax Dantalian ended up. I know that Gainax is a dead shell of its former self and all, but now I can visualize how that translates to an anime.
Come now, Happy isn't nearly that terrible a mascot!

So... just finished RedLine.
And since my english sucks big time, I'll use someone's else words to describe my opinion:
Someone else said that it was "Speed Racer on crack", and I couldn't agree more.
And I thought that Japan made some stupid laws to stop the production of awesome anime.

Pray tell why? She can't be worse than Nagi.
My favorite is Maria anyway, but Hinagiku's a very close second.
?! Why?

Your English seems fine, bro. Don't be shy.
Only another $400 or so and this series is completely mine!
;_;
Oh god you arent kidding.
Code gess is the special kind of bad that is really good. You should watch it.
Im doing the same.

This company chooses the weirdest things to adapt.
A girl who looks like a dog, but no one notices?!
I always kind of felt like the show favored her even though she didn't really have any defining personality traits like any of the other girls. She just........blushed a lot, or something. I think that I mostly resent her for being part of why S2 was so different from S1.
For some reason, I never had any problems with Nagi. She's probably one of the most likeable tsunderes in anime.

They're all just tropey characters though. At least they made her afraid of heights, for some reason.
(And of course, Taiyate combined Hinagiku and Hamster girl into one character for ultimate trope-ishness.)
