It's an undeniable fact that FNC-chan has the best forehead.
She doesn't even have the best forehead this season.
I concede FNC-chan's defeat to Naru, but in her own show, she still wins.

- forehead
- childhood friend
- not omigawa
I'm sure she will not see the end of the show.

I'd love to watch a dance battle commence on that dome.

if that's a crime then the recent wave of school days must have been a serial killing.

Space Bros 02:
So, so very good. Mutta is wonderfully human and his outlook, aspirations, and quirks permeate his behavior believably and consistently. He's an actual character, which has been so important to making the show feel convincingly grounded in real life and populated by (relatively) normal people. It's only been two episodes, and already Mutta's journey has been incredibly touching. Mutta's brushes with his own lost childhood (such as
) surprise me in how much I'm able to empathize with his nostalgia. They seem to tap into every adult's wish to relive the optimism of their youth.
My one very small criticism with this episode was the revelation that
. I thought that Mutta's fear and insecurity over
was really relatable, and I didn't like that it suddenly became something positive that
. I would have preferred that it remained an offhand thought that Mutta dwells on due to his fear of rejection.

My one very small criticism with this episode was the revelation that
the loose screw in the interview chair was intentionally placed there as a test by one of the JAXA officials
realizing that he had fidgeted with the screw fro the entire interview
actually increased Mutta's chances of acceptance

The facial expressions the characters make in this show are so damn hilarious. I love how Nobuko can hate on Kotobuki for being cute but instantly becomes buddies with her the moment she's complimented on her bracelet. Ha!

Hey, I never said that other crimes haven't been committed in the past. Where do you think Yami watching got started?

Darkside, are you okay? Please post if you are!
To be honest, the early drawings had me concerned about this character looking stupid. But she totally doesn't!
where else but the darkest depths of humanity.
I actually added it to my backlog when icarus was watching it. I just waited for the right time to strike.

Oooh some nice details in animations.
So I guess this won't just be your typical slideshow sports anime.
And the soundtrack is addicting.

Truth. Until elf girl makes her entrance, at least.

Heck, icarus was late to the party. We all suffered through it months ago!

I dunno, there are really two massive arcs that they can do - the White Yaksha and the final battle. I'm sure this will be big, but I can't imagine it'll involve every single cast member...
Naw. Then again, once you have the main couple together, I'm sure interest has dried up. Certainly you'd have to be more hardcore to want to see what happens to the other characters.
Actually, it's 3 seasons and one OVA season!

Lupin the 3rd: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine 1:
Hot.
This show has style like nothing else, and the characters are both familiar, but new. I love seeing these characters when they're meeting for the first time, and it's a very different take on the Lupin franchise than anything in the past 30 years. The cat and mouse games were excellent, and I look forward to seeing much more of these antics over the next few months.

I should've known something was up with Kotobuki! Otoni seemed so distraught when the shirt was off lol. At least this gave Koizumi the courage to be more open with herself, hopefully this will lead to some solid development over the next few eps.
Elves are known for their petite, rather underwhelming bread. Why do you think Alvin's sister wanted Rick's bread inside of her the second she saw him? Her body was literally crying out for it.

NAKAMA!
So I'm not alone in my like of Moeretsu Pirates? Yay!It's the only show I've carried over from last season.
Same here.
I was also a bit annoyed by
the good old "oh, Mutta is interacting with two new characters! I don't know those two, but somehow I don't expect them to be rejected at this stage! call it a gut feeling!"
... Especially considering the JAXA guy explains the screw was a test, and wouldn't you know: as it happens, three applicants noticed it! Gee, I wonder who those were!

Not a big deal (yet?), of course. I guess it bothered me all the more because I like what I'm seeing so far, and I kinda wish the show were above that kind of stuff...

I dropped it after episode 11 or 12. It's still more of the same?
I dunno, going from the 'Thorn & Rose' arc, the shinsengumi will be involved, heavily, and Takasugi being in pretty much means that they're going to play past-parallels and bring Zura in--as they did in the Benizakura, maybe even Sakamoto. I'd put money on the cast being huge.
Oh shit. Wow. Yeah, this is going to be huge. I'm so hyped.
You can all be moe pirates together!

It certainly seemed pretty clumsy. Way to telegraph future developments in the most obvious of manners!

I'm not sure what you wanted instead, unless it was for Mutta to remain completely alone at JAXA. I thought it was a pretty good way to introduce new recurring characters.
I liked the connection the screw bit drew between Mutta and his childhood hero Mouri - it's a nice continuation of the theme of "destiny" that was introduced at their one meeting.

Trust me: no-one watching Yami is having fun. The only fun to be had is the schadenfreude of seeing others experience the same fate.
Of course you aren't alone. the show is excellent. It has Chiaki Okigawa AND Kana Hanazawa in it. My God.
Yes. Acchi Kocchi and Tsuritama will save anime this season.
The other thing I love about Lovely Complex are the constant wardrobe changes. It's almost like they are actually characters!
Casual anime watchers killing anime.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
Mai Ritoru Poni: Yuujou wa Mahou 20
This episode focuses on the two ponies I like the least, Fluttershy and Rarity which would normally be a recipe for disaster but the episode is salvaged by the hilarious antics of both Twilight and Pinkie Pie, combining to give some pretty enjoyable moments FOREVER.
Rarity gets so salty when she's under stress. She is going to develop some nasty wrinkles. Poor Spike doesn't know what's in store for him and the cat is finally out of the bag that he has a crush on Rarity (lol). Twilight is such an adorable gossip girl. She really can't keep a secret but she was trying her hardest mainly because Pinkie Pie was going to eat her head off if she didn't.
The rest of the episode outside I didn't really enjoy. I really don't find the fashion model stuff interesting at all, and they've been going with that theme for way too many episodes with Hoity Toity and now Photo Finish.

Upotte! 2
The amount of research that went into this is impressive. I'm learning a lot more about guns than I expected to. This makes me want to play Valkyria Chronicles.
Eru needs to stop sucking.

Waiting for doomed's review before deciding if I'll look at Upotte!! Episode 2 or not.
Hopefully, there'll be more to read through it than bias towards Eru's antics!

Yuri = good.
Shaky cam = bad.
Random timeskips, dorama,

= lol.
I feel kind of cheated that the yuri
, but this bizarre new world of
will hopefully be a fertile ground from which many incomprehensible things will spring.
I expect great things from the guy with the twitchy eye after
.
All I really want to know at this point is how the fuck I'm supposed to endure looking at that hat for the next 12 episodes. I woke up with a sore neck today and looking at that monstrosity is making it worse.
Wha? Maybe if you fried him...
Yuri = good.
Shaky cam = bad.
Random timeskips, dorama,
rejected confessions
surprise freakouts at seeing your yuri lover in the bath
really meaningful sign language
I feel kind of cheated that the yuri
only lasted a few minutes
trains and bombs and poorly-disguised spies
I expect great things from the guy with the twitchy eye after
tearing a girl's clothes off just because. A FEMALE DIPLOMAT DRESSING IN A NOT-ENTIRELY-FEMININE WAY? IMMA STRIP YOU BITCH

Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito 1
This is the story of sisterly love, a motherfucking hat, and a train.
THE MOTHERFUCKING HAT
The screenshaking in the first half of the episode was really annoying, I hope it won't appear again.
Deen art was on maximum, but I must say, the setting so far... isn't really that bad. And that one girl has some delicious sarashi, which is always a plus.
Stop stealing my favorite cheesy lines, dammit.
A few too many characters were introduced in this episode, so there really wasn't much time to figure out anything about them other than that some of them want to blow up the train, some want to protect it, and Yami is on a mission to find her beloved onee-chan~
