lol, it was much more Saber than anything I guess.
Saber vs Lancer next week though :0
Watch Soredemo and then you'll understand the greatness of Omigawa!
The voice of a goddess, given to us unworthy mortals. Go watch Soul Eater and Soredemo and experience the blessing.
I never liked her in any of the Fate routes.

This is still babby's first shounen, but the Umakoshi designs will carry me through until the plot picks up. I just wish that there was stronger direction.

go to the ends of the earth to rescue Athena
Watching Soma and Koga traverse jungles, deserts, and mountains on foot to get to the Palaestra
I actually liked the traveling part a lot, especially because the background art was so nice.
[Gintama 214]
A great arc with a great ending. These short-arcs are so efficient, it's impressive how much they can do in five episodes.
Unlike nearly every other arc in Gintama the protagonists, antagonists and supporting players were all characters from the show, including people from minor episodes It wasn't just fanservice either - it tied into the story. This made made the action far weightier than normal, because we weren't just dealing with characters created solely for this arc, for the most part at least.
I assume these two are going to go out and form a 80's hair club preservation society -
Good man. It was with that Arc that I was certain that we were in for a series-wide tone switch--
'Sorachi gonna Sorachi as he do', so that didn't come to pass, completely so; Still,
Yeah, that was quite silly, in retrospect, cause, tbch, I didn't at all notice them missing when watching through it the first time, lol. I was caught up in the moment, completely. But, kind of like I touched on in the the reply to Jex though, I do think the next major arc is going to be the MASSIVE one we're all hoping for. Just by it being Takasugi and Kamui in the helm, and what was done in T4D arc, I'm thinking some of that ever elusive history will probably be probed, at the least, and not just for Gin, but Kagura--who hasn't seen any exploring since Yoshiwara.

Some cool action bits, and Gilgamesh was pretty awesome. I don't think it was one of the better episodes of the series, but it was still good.
were the best parts of the episode, in my mind.

what the FUCK
what the FUCK
10 or so episodes left? Probably at least one person getting killed every episode. Maybe something like that.
nekomimi are mankind's magnum opus.
Saber is a hot character with lots of potential. the problem is nobody was able to utilize her powers properly. Oh well she makes a great figurine.
This is true. My favorite episode. The credits music at the end ties the two-part episode together in a very memorable way.
Wow, I've been away for a few hours.
I'll catch up in a minute, but before I do, I have a new member to welcome to my Anime BluRay family! Say hello for squidly sake!
NICE. I will double dip for this. The DVDs are super cheap.
Oh my god so cute. Favorited.
Totally gonna watch this asap. Tsumiki is love.
Yeah it is a good starting episode. the arty and animation is pretty good and more importantly, Ao >>>> Renton. Downside is too little of Elena Peoples.
Wait a second... I just realized... people have custom titles on gaf.
Which mods must i fellate for this?
My first one was because I only watch dubbed Utena. My second one is because I spend ludicrous amount of cash in the pursuit of [redacted]
Kannazuki no Miko is special. I had to make it part of the collection. The artbox is pretty.
and lesbiany.
Thats a good way to numb the pain.
Oh yes. I CANT WAIT.
If I die, it was worth it.
Now you just have the finale to tackle! The Best is yet to come!
Shining Hearts -Rick's Happy Bread- 1
This really works a lot better when you just assume bread is an euphemism for penis. It's still totally terrible, for sure, but at least it's more amusing this way. Fuck that snobby elf douche for not wanting to get himself some of thatrock hard throbbing delicious bread.
I appreciate that the main dude already has his harem of cosplaying dudettes assembled from the get-go. Saves a lot of time on silly things like set-up or characterization. Do you get to pick a waifu in the game? Cause I'd totally go with the green one.
Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth 2
Yeah, I still think these are way too damn long. As "hilarious" as it may be to watch Lee get the shit beat out of him for whatever reason for the umpteenth time I think it's safe to say that I'm done here.

You know the writers are doing a damn fine job when they have the main character actually say out loud that maybe he's finally started learning his lessons after one little training arc
and numerous examples to the contrary in the past that would suggest otherwise. I also found it hilarious how quickly most of the cast came to accept Raion-O's
without giving it a second thought. The one character who didn't felt more like a pity vote than anything else.
And not only has the writing been consistently subpar for a while, everything from the art to animation to direction felt really mediocre for what this particular episode is supposed to represent. It's supposed to be this strong character growth episode where we see how far Raion-O has come and how Taigura finally learns to accept his
but nothing has any real gravitas to it and all proceedings end up feeling flat and by the numbers. I get the feeling the status quo probably isn't even gonna change going forward anyway.

Raion-O outta nowhere remains the highlight of this show.

The episode was pretty awesome. A nice combination of moe, action and education. Moeducation, the next big thing in the anime industry!

Maybe there is some joy to be gained from this show aside from the catgirl after all.
Some thoughts on Fate/Zero Episode 15:
The direction in general wasn't as sharp as last week's episode, but it was still pretty entertaining. There were some things I didn't particularly like about it though. The way certain events are handled felt a bit rushed and weak.

The confrontation between Kariya and Tokiomi in particular was handled very poorly imo. I get the intention that they want to show there's a huge gulf in ability between the two of them, and that Kariya is just a suicidal guy with no real chance at all, but the way it was presented wasn't exciting and just felt stupid after all the build up from last week. It was just lame.
The Berserker stuff was pretty interesting, and it's quite a feat when you consider that it actually took three Servants to basically takes him out of action in the end. Saber as a decoy, Lancer as a melee striker, and Archer striking him from the back while he was focused on Saber. It definitely made him feel like a worthy and dangerous foe, and that should play out well in the future as well.
Loved the dialogue between Archer and Rider at the end. They should definitely do more talking on the show, since that's the main reason I watch this to begin with. The action is just extra eye candy gravy.

If they showed the girls eating Rick's bread it wouldn't be allowed on television.

You don't know that this next arc is going to take 1 episode. I imagine two.
When not-Kyubey was eating Rick's bread I felt funny in my pants and thought of you.
Wait that came out wrong.
Sorry envelope. I must do this. For the good of mankind.
And for cat ears.
Upotte! knows what's truly important.
This episode was filled with great music. Some new ones.

Unf this show is so good. I lol'd at how Kariya
Saber, Rider, and Archer were all cool, the last two like usual.
I'm going to guess that Kirei is
Can't wait for next week already!

-The princesses are still on this show
This felt like a real Marika-centric episode. The first half of it was good and then
and made it blah. Judging by this episode's ED, it seems we're not getting rid of those characters any time soon. I find it funny that this episode revolved around Marika trying to figure out
They were put out of commission so easily that perhaps it was the intent of the writers that we as the audience aren't supposed to care about

what a good crew was made up of as she really didn't know. I, as the viewer, didn't know either because this show doesn't really care about the ship's crew.
the crew.
Dammit.
Don't worry, you wouldn't be human if you didn't feel at least something at the sight of Rick's bread between a woman's fingers.
Rick doesn't deny anyone his bread based on race, gender, or even species. He merely has the benevolent goal of stuffing the face of every creature on the planet full of his bread.

Perviness was turned down for something more comedic and I think the show was better off for it.
I think it will be. The fun of this show is that its a bunch of guns and gun jokes encapsulated into a moe slice of life. It doesnt really have to be that perverted to work.

I think Kannazuki Miko will be a step down from Yami, to be honest, but it should still satisfy your cravings.
