Oh hai Nia. When did you become an anime artist?

Eruru too? Damn, how many anime characters are making anime these days? They're probably all chained up somewhere being forced to draw.

Infinite Stratos dub: When Chifuyu shows up in her swimsuit, you can hear someone say:

Man, the dub is like an in-universe rifftrax or something.

This was one of my favorite episodes of the first HnG season. XD Such great parodies throughout the entirety of it. ^^;

Another great episode full of wonderful entertainment. I admit I was getting pissed off toward the end with that horny "thing", but it did provide for a magnificent ultimate.
Also, I'm glad I was able to spot what looks like Reina/Leina in the OP.

I remember this episode rather vaguely, it's hard to remember over 50 episodes of this show. Only thing I remember is the Love Hina episode <3

I like that the Nirvashi still feels alive when you look at its face. I wonder who the split eye woman is.

One detail about the OP I'm a little worried about is how the OP ends. That single TV noise fade transition could have.... interesting implications for the series.

VR simulation world theory justified?!

Surely I'm not the only one that finds those water guns to be really creepy and unnerving?

I'm finding myself rather fond of the laid back atmosphere of this show so hopefully they'll stick with it. It looks like they'll start to explain just what the hell's going on outside of
fishing something to save the world
in the next episode.

I stopped after the first episode when I realized this wasn't gonna save anime.
You made a very wise decision.

Is it just me, or does the girl on Sakamichi no Apollon really look like a guy with a wig? It's kind of bothering me, but other than that the show is alright so far.

Could always have a thing later in the series where
Ao ENTERS the real world and then MEETS eureka and renton

Now in bowl form.
So, there were a lot of chest flashing this episode, both genders. I guess appeal to both genders and then some.

Hansode remains god-tier. Looks like she will carry the show if necessary.

Sengoku Collection 3



Please tell me this fucking awful show being 26 episodes long is some kind of sick joke.

The more you guys bash something, the more I want to watch it :(

OOH NYAA OOH NYAA. I MUST FIND A WAY TO GET THIS.

Kanna fans get what they deserve!

Not even Watanabe's safe from bad CG vehicles. ;_;

It'll be interesting to see how religion's handled in this show.

That isn't a bad CG vehicle. Rather it is a very GOOD CG vehicle detailwise. In fact, its better than some hand drawn stuff.

In the past seven or eight years that I've been following shows as they come out of Japan, this seems far and away the strongest season I've ever seen.

Its a pretty strong season I always find plenty to enjoy, but this season is very very easy to find entertainment consistently.

Once you're in the
friendzone, it's up to you to get out of it!

One of these things is not like the other.

(I'm STILL amazed at how fucking big the NISA boxes are).

The NISA boxes are very nice. KNT is in my shopping cart saved. HAvent pulled the trigger on it yet. also I see that the price drop has spurred several people to buy IS. Maybe it was the dub. You guys really are masochists!
I'm buying it soon


IM LADY!

Fuck, I forgot Infinite Stratos came out! Decisions... I like Charlotte.. but don't care for the rest of the show...

... decisions...

Just buy now and regret later. It is the otaku way.

Fractale's supposed to be crap, right? I get an overwhelming urge to watch it every time I listen to the amazing OP song.

Same here. that OP is amazing and I want to at least give the show a chance.

I was kind of ready to just dump this show completely during the first half. The alien's mannerisms are obnoxious and there's really this kind of disturbing vibe to it under the cheery visual styling. The main character is essentially being held hostage and forced into servitude while this mind controlling alien invades his life. There's this scene that's supposed to be cute or something where the protagonist's life is being threatened on top of a building if he doesn't do something, and it's supposed to be funny or something but it just kind of winds up being really messed up to me. I would have felt worse for the main character but he isn't very likeable, and he's already fallen into fairly predictable patterns.

But the last third of the episode kind of changed course all of the sudden, and everyone stopped being brats for a little while and the show as a whole stopped being sort of vile and unenjoyable. Guy in the turban with the duck is probably going to make or break me giving up on this series with the next episode.

Mysterious Girlfriend X 2

You can have her drool, but you can't have her hand. Urabe: best girlfriend or best girlfriend?

Watching both this and Space Brothers, I'm impressed at how much thought Ayumu Watanabe puts into his transitions. There was a particularly stellar one in this episode I'd like to highlight.


So our protagonist is in class, daydreaming about scissors in underwear as teenage boys are wont to do.


As he bemoans his situation with Urabe, we cut to the outside of his school.


The school and sunlight fade away, and we are left with the pure cloud background.


This background starts to shimmer, like ripples in water.


Urabe's hand comes into view, as she offers Tsubaki a piece of candy.


Finally, we pull back to reveal that the clouds have become their own reflection underneath a bridge on which our couple are currently hanging out at after school.

This whole transition is subtle, seamless, and strongly connects Tsubaki's solitary thoughts with the present state of his relationship with Urabe. Bravo.

MGX is pretty masterful with how it handles stuff like this. I'm really glad that it isn't just a one time thing from the first episode and I hope they can keep it up.

Don't do it Cajun! It will only result in an infinite, Groundhog's Day style time-loop where you end up desperately trying to save drago from making the Contract in the first place!

I, too, was impressed by this transition. Normally I don't pay attention to such things but this was a really good one.

The Zombie anime still hasn't taken itself seriously right? I kinda liked that about it in the first season then they decided to think they know what drama is and it went downhill from there.

They should base the show on Shiranui because I think this is show is terrible. Medaka is a troll and the best part of this episode was somebody trying to cop a feel.

Well now that's interesting.
Haven't seen anyone selling android APKs on the general-purpose doujin download stores before.
Makes sense to do, though, since those sites are more well known than the dedicated doujin Android app markets.
