All this Ano Hana talk is almost making me consider buying the BRDs, since it'll be just released as two volumes. I'd do it just for Anal though.

Chihayafuru - End

One of my favourite animes of all time, at first I watched it because of the art style but after a few episodes I got hooked on the love triangle - and even Karuta, got myself a deck of cards which I'm learning.

Such a shame it's not going to get a second season, we need more shows that are good enough to go 25 episodes without having to resort to panty shots and harems. I guess I'll be tracking down the Manga, does anybody know which volume the anime ends at?

First scene starts with FOOD!

These girls are talking pigs!

No girls, don't play with the Ouija! And now they're framed for murder!
Just bad luck, girls.

And yet another small laugh out of me from abrupt scene transition after Twenty quip! It's a pretty subtle detail, but I know they're doing it deliberately now!


Heeey, why does Nero get the fat ancestor possession?! (Well, I know why, but still...
"It was a monkey in the academy!"
"There are no monkeys here."
"Oh yeah..."
Made me laugh more than it should have.
And of course,
Sherlock's ancestor, Sherlock is a bawss....also, Sonia, of course! But her hair's still so cute! :D

And
Dat huge Shelock smile at the end deserves mention!

An okay episode, more for
lineage detailing to fill for the girls
than for humor. Hoping the next one brings some chuckles.


Also, thanks for the explanation on Henrietta and the girls, Falcon. That makes some sense.

Did you watch the good Someday's Dreamers or the bad Someday's Dreamers?

I'm referring to the original series. What is that considered the good or bad one? I know there was a sequel a few years ago. I'm referring to the one with ahoge goddess Yume Kikuchi.
 
Gah, I'm gone for a few days and we get the Spring thread up!

Ano natsu END
I KNEW IT.
to say the ending was predictable would be an understatement, all romantic comedies have endings like this it seems. At least the ending scene made up for it.
I'm going to miss this show, it is one of my favorites from the season.

There are screens released for Fate/Zero episodes 14&15. Looks like the big battle will last for 3 episodes, with lots of CGs. Duckroll will be pleased.

Natsu no Sora was directed by Osamu Kobayashi so I'm guessing thats the good one in 7th eyes.

When you say Natsuyuki, do you mean an adaptation of "Natsuyuki Rendez-Vous?" It seems that I missed an announcement.

Yeah:

Someone on 2ch posted that the http://www.natsuyuki.tv domain is registered to Toho Ad Co. Ltd. He seems to believe it is for a Summer noitaminA show, an anime adaptation of Natsuyuki Rendez-Vous.

"Hazuki falls in love at first sight with a flower shop owner named Rokka and decides to get closer to her by applying as a part-time employee. A going-away party soon brings him to her doorstep, and Hazuki is elated. But what happens when he discovers that residing in her apartment is the spirit of the man she can never forget?"

my body is ready

That sounds pretty :firehawk to me.

I thought Summer Skies was much much better than the original Someday's Dreamers, suspect that other people will have it the other way round though

The ending of Ano Hana was disappointing because it wasn't what the fanfic I always post to someone who finishes is.

That and the gif of the true words on the notes.

This was a little bit tamer than I thought it would be, but it was still awesome.

Chihayafuru 15

Chihaya
lost by 20 cards. But she got 5 whole cards from Queen and QUEEN IS ANGRY.
. Chihaya has
tasted second place defeat.
The group goes to cheer on
Taichi who is in the finals of his division. Taichi barely loses. After tasting defeat the group vows to practice even harder.
The music in this anime is incredible.
 
I don't remember Tezuka ever going all Sepheroth on anybody o_O .

Also blazed through like 10 eps of Aquarion EVOL until 13.

Why did I pass on this after the premiere??? Shit is great. Best intro theme of winter 2012.
Mecha designs are terribad.

I like the ending theme too, they really made music fit well with the series, and the occasional change up of the artistic designs in the ending too.

Even though I haven't exactly been happy with a lot of shows this season I'm surprised by how unusually well some of them are wrapping up. This episode laid the stakes out pretty clearly, had characters expressing themselves well in a way that the viewer can easily interpret, and wraps things up
in a pleasing way without being so overt about it that it seems like pandering.
The stacked epilogues with time skips work really well here, and leave the series feeling like a well planned conclusive work. The show takes time to see the characters out in a way that respects the series and the viewer, which is something I find to be really admirable.

The train sequence felt a little weird and out of place in the action of everything, but this is a strong finisher to the series that quite notably improves my feelings about the whole of the show.
 

Envelope

sealed with a kiss
One Piece 3

I had 3 main problems with this episode:

1. Luffy is incredibly annoying, Zoro should just kill him and take over the main character position. Starting a fight just to show that Coby wasn't his friend was stupid, especially when it didn't even work. Also, I want to punch his face every time I see it, but that's just an unfortunate side effect of Oda's art, so I won't hold it against him. Also, how can fucking rubber stop bullets?

2. If the Grand Line is in the center of the one continent in the world, why is it such a big deal to get to it? Why do you need a special map? This seems like such an obvious error or mistake I feel sure I'm missing something, I'm not really holding this against the series.

3. I forgot what this was going to be, oh well.


The good stuff:

Zoro is still a bro

That random marine was also a bro
