You make me want to rewatch all of Yu-gi-oh again.
Futari wa Precure 13-18
It seems the show is no longer content with just sending one villain at a time, because while Poisony continues to torment the Cures wherever they go, another member of the Dark Five, Kiriya, has now infiltrated their school as a transfer student and started involving himself in everyone's personal lives.
Except...he doesn't actually seem all that villainous. Sure, he's backed up Poisony in her schemes once or twice, but over the six episodes he's been around so far, he hasn't really done anything to actively harm the Cures or anyone around them. The few times he has made an ass of himself (eg.
and
) seem to be more due to his inexperience with human decency than an actual desire to cause harm, and thanks to a constant stream of lecturing from Honoka, he seems to be honestly trying to improve in that regard.
At this rate, it seems only a matter of time before a full-on heel-face-turn sets in, and indeed in the latest episode, Honoka and Nagisa were saved at the last moment from one of Poisony's more deadly traps by an unexplained force that could well have been Kiriya's doing.
But no worries! It doesn't look like the show has given up on throwing multiple villains into the fray yet, because judging from the next-episode preview, it looks like the final member of the Dark Five is also going to get in on the fun. Villains, villains everywhere!
As a side note, I don't think I've mentioned yet that the show's ending theme is really catchy. It was stuck in my head all yesterday. (Papayapaya~!) The opening theme is amazing too, of course, but that's such a classic that I've known it for years, so it doesn't leave quite as big an impression.
Oh, and it was so sweet in episode 13 when the Science Club girls

all secretly agreed to name their project after Yuriko instead of Honoka

Heh.
I do like seeing all those KyoAni merchandise just being sprinkled around the show.

I think I recall an episode that happens later on where they decide to sing the ED for the reason you like it.

I think that there may be an unannounced spinoff manga coming, by the artist who did Achiga-hen (now that it's done)...
It definitely makes SYD a whole lot better than stuff it's sometimes compared to that is actually harem.
Thanks guys I guess I'll check out everything except Majestic Prince.
As for Aku no Hana / Flowers of Evil I forgot to mention how I watched the first episode a while ago and couldn't get over how jarring the rotoscoping was to me (detail inconsistency, poor lip syncing etc).
Does it get any better? I've read the manga so I know how amazing the story goes but I don't think I can handle the rotoscoping just to get there.
I think it does or perhaps I just got used to it. It bugged the hell out of me in the beginning of the series but it's become a non-issue at this point.

That was actually a topic , when haruhi suzumiya was airing on some japanese boards.

I got used to the rotoscoping as well, and I feel it really works in the show's favor. It's been consistently great episode after episode. The most recent two episodes have especially knocked it out of the park.
Yes.

Haganai dub, boys and girls.
Wierd hearing Jerry Jewell in a role like this. He'll always be Lau from Black Butler to me.

Welp
Weird, I was kinda hoping for something akin to Fire Emblem or Advance Wars (although naturally with only tanks).
Watching Tokyo Godfathers tonight. I hope it's as good as I hear it is.
Date a Live 07
I saw this episode already since Kurumi showed up in it, but it was worth seeing again.
Kurumi is one dangerous girl. Her outfit is hnnngh and the way her hair covers up the clock in her eye. Damn she's amazing. Also imouto #2 showed up. How many imoutos does MC have? This show continues to be ridiculously fun. Also ARA ARA <3
rankings:
Kurumi >>> Tohka > Yoshino > Origami > Reine > Yamae > Imouto Mana > Origami's AST squad > Imouto Kotori

I'm almost getting convinced to watch Date a Live for the Clock Eyes Yandere action.
Wise words
Always works. Always.

That seems like a large rankings list for 7 episodes
Clockface is above all the others, but actually this show is fun from the beginning. The girls are all pretty great. Some nice action fighting scenes too.
Not really. Certain characters definitely stand out. Kurumi just steals the show though.

As Lupin III would say, you lolicon!
Only if they are the K-ON.
Image the reactions...
Man, that show was so boring.

I must admit that I stole most of my contributions to the list (Mad Bull, Crystal Triangle, Angel Cop etc) from Daryl Surat. But don't hell him that.

Does he look like girl to you, sir?
Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East 4
Kind of an underwhelming end for the corrupted Monk, even after the twist was revealed. Really warming up to Gen and Ko, hope they appear more.
And lol at Satomi not realizing the reason he was chosen was because he was prettier than any girl.

He'd be the one to talk given his appearance in the Castle of Cagliostro.
I don't know, all impressions I read seem to point towards the contrary.

Well, one can use a variety of methods to capture the images and turn them into gifs, or one can just google image such the film and search by type 'animated'.

I mean impression posts here.
Most of them seem to suggest it being pretty shit, even by harem standards.

アレステッド・ディベロプメント S4 1-4
I can't say I'm really feeling this so far as most of the jokes feel like they're just piggybacking off of stuff that was far funnier in the first three seasons. It's like, "Hey, remember this scene/joke/guy/cameo and how funny that was????"
Maybe it gets better but this is pretty disappointing so far.
Don't worry it gets much better. Rewatching has made the beginning episodes much more enjoyable too.

Clockface attitude and voice are legendary ..but if you can lower your expectations for the first 12 minutes you should be ok. The anime really goes in the right places afterwards.
But for wallpapers jexhius, WALLPAPERS.
I didn't know this was an option...
Surat himself is on an entirely different one of my lists.

....What the hell does K-On! even mean?
I was sort of expecting them to make it the band name in episode 11, but that didn't happen.
So is it just random?

Well, Light Music Club is keionbu.
EDIT: I guess the question was more of why it's spelled that way, in which case wakarimasen lol.
Well it definitely isnt shit. Its glorious. I mean, its a harem. what do people expect it to be like? Its designed to throw cute girls at the Mc at every turn and it does a great job of it, while also having the battle aspect. Its very very good at what it does.
K-on is light music club or something.

OOOOOOOOOOHH
....well it doesn't help that I only watched it dubbed.

It wasn't until relatively recently so it makes sense.
K-ON! is a pun on Keionbu which is light music club.
The band itself will be named later I think if it hasn't already.

So do they sing in English too? Stuff like that would bother the hell out of me, plus I don't even like a vast majority of dubs.
Oreimo s2 ep 9
Well, that was a pretty mellow episode
also, next week
probably a bit misleading.
Well, that was a pretty mellow episode
I guess Ruri just wanted Kirino and Kyousuke to get along. Kirino still says that she hates him, but it's obviously the opposite, and the fact that Kyousuke still can't just say that he loves Ruri without thinking about Kirino's feelings is a bit worrisome

No, it's pretty disappointing honestly, considering even Futari wa Precure sung its ending theme in english for one of the episodes, then again, it also did change the names :/.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
OreImo S2 09:
This episode featured a role-reversal in that Kirino is the one helping Kyousuke with his problem. The pacing of this episode felt deliberately slow, yet there seemed to be more cuts to different angles for the expressions of the characters. I get the feeling this episode was trying to feel really climactic, like this was the end of some amazing arc or something, but I just didn't feel the impact. I think if Kyousuke and Kuroneko had
it might have worked.
I will add however that for once Kirino wasn't a complete bitch. I know, I'm just as shocked as you are. It only took, what? 24 episodes? Even though her feelings are still all over the park, for one episode she finally showed some sincerity. Would have been nice if this had happened much sooner.
Frankly I don't know where they're going to take it from here, but considering how few episodes are left, I have a feeling this won't end well for Team Kuroneko. :/
Do you even need to fucking ask? HNNNNNG!

I don't need to watch episode 9 to know that it might not end well for us Kuroneko fans.
