Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
There were a couple of edits in the episode where it wasn't clear if time has passed/how much time had passed. I hope that's not a warning sign for future episodes because an inability to properly convey the passage of time could be quite an issue.

Yeah, while I was watching I had to pause and go back a couple times just to make sure I hadn't missed something by looking away or blinking or something.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Knight in the Area 14

Yes I'm still watching this show, but I don't post as much about it because there isn't much going on beyond the obvious "they're playing soccer and getting better and Seven is still adorable as fuck" etc. But this episode we finally have something interesting happen. While Kakeru and Seven are watching the other teams in the qualifiers play, Kakeru recognizes Hibino Koichi, the kid who Kakeru had injured in the past giving him that complex about using his left foot earlier on in the show.

Hibino pays Kakeru a visit and after a bit of a misunderstanding, Hibino's resentment comes out in full force, revealing that while he can still play and play quite excellently, his ligament is still torn. For some reason after having surgery after surgery it stll worn't heal (I'm not sure how ligament surgery actually works, but I think normally there are no issues in getting healed, I'll have to research that later). Anyway Hibino is still fucking pissed off at Kakeru, which will definitely haunt Kakeru when they inevitably meet up on the field.

Nice to see a little story happening in the show again. ^^;
 
So... Little Buster staff is confirmed by Newtype...

Director: Yoshiki Yamakawa
Series Composition: Michiru Shimada
Character Design: Haurko Iizuka
Animation Production: JC Staff

Interesting...

Ha ha, the director of Kill Me Baby no less. I see the shitstorm has started (elsewhere, at places that actually care).

LOL WTF. KyoAni refused Little Busters? What the hell.

The president of Key Visual Arts had mentioned a while back that KyoAni had passed on it due to having a one-project-at-a-time policy and being already booked by Kadokawa and Pony Canyon.

It's kind of a GAF meme that all of the insects in Australia are gigantic and out to kill you.

who says memes can't also be true?

*gulp*

welp, if you don't hear from me tomorrow, goodbye sweet world.

Who'd create such a meme? :(

spiders are pretty moe

you gotta be kidding me

i'm arachnophobic but still, moe? not everything anthromorphised is moe.

God, because it's not a meme. Australia is like a landbased version of the ocean. Probably why we sent all those convicts there in the past.

The truth hurts :(

not all insects are gigantic. sure you see the occasional critter that's larger than normal but still...

Tomodachi wa Mahou
Well, she was being a bitch and wasn't interested in not being one.

I guess this makes sense but I was expecting Pinkie Pie to rise above the hate not to embrace the hate and throw a hate party throwing some poor girl out of town like that. It's like saying the best way to deal with bullies is to outbully the bullies. It's the wrong message, that's all I was saying.

Well, this was stylish, fun, cool, etc.. etc.., a good Lupin episode all in all with the competition between Lupin and Fujiko, even if Zenigata had no role basically, but that full body shadow is fugly, it ruins everything when it's used and it makes the characters look way too flat, which is the greater sin here.

I just did!

They are. Such cute things. Why are people afraid of them? I can understand venemous ones, because a bite can be ridiculously painful and damaging, but like, jumping spiders? HNNG.

"Why won't you be our friend, frostbyte? :("

D'AWWWWWW <3

Jumping spiders like to follow your finger around. Such cute things. I wish I could pet them instead of them running :(

Actually, the party was supposed to be her way of making up. Things just went further south.

Fate/Zero 14

The new OP really isn't as good as Oath Sign but it'll grow on me, hopefully. Dug the ED though.

I don't even care why or how Berserker and Archer are having an aerial dogfight, it's fucking awesome!

This show is too godly, we are unworthy of it. Can't wait for next week.

Fate/Zero 14

Dat Archer/Beserker dog fight. Beserker, I don't care if you're misplaced CG (well, not so misplaced in this episode), you are one of my favorites!

The music was well to do, though the talk on the bridge felt off to me, I dunno, it was an addition I saw coming, but I didn't desire it. We all knew how the convo would end.
Not enough Rider, but that will be fixed shortly, I am sure! All in all, solid opener, more Fate/Zero, here I coome!

DTL, I am sorry for your loss ;_;

Solid opener.

Fate Zero 14

I still need to watch episode 12 and 13 but not a lot happened in 14, but it was AWESOME.

Seems like The couple episodes I have left in S1 will lead nicely into this.

TAKE MY MONEY AGAIN ANIPLEX. JUST GIVE ME BOXSET 2
 
... since so many the last posts were for the new season of Fate/Zero, I assume I should watch the series since it's good?

...do you fuckers even sleep
Seriously! I go to sleep and come back on, only to be slapped by 11+ pages.

Its fabulous as fuck and very memorable.

Ringo says it best.

Should have guessed it was destiny, dammit.

Kanba ftw. #1 and #2 are pretty awesome as well. Dont really like ringo.
So far, Ringo seems touch and go. Granted, she was just introduced but still...
 
Fate/Zero 14

Loved the whole
Tokiumi vs. Kariya
build up and I can't wait for next week to see their fight and
Kiritsugu's sniping made me wonder why he didn't just go for the head immediately.
Oh well what a great way to start up S2~! :D

Accel World 1

The virtual world stuff interests me, but fat dude isn't a compelling main character for me, not because he's fat or his design is so disconnected from the others, but because his personality seems rotten. Still, I'm interested in seeing more of this.

Saint Seiya Omega 1

I don't think I like the mahou shonen direction of this and the first episode was kind of boring. Seeing Koga complain for a good portion of the episode doesn't make for a compelling watching experience and the action at the start and end consisted
in a special move (the same special move) launched against the same enemy.
On the positive side, there wasn't stairs climbing.

One million times yes you should watch Fate Zero ASAP.
