I don't think I would mind it if I could actually get myself excited for E3. But last year burned me so much I really can't get hyped for this one, even though I know it will be better on a number of fronts.

If the Sonic reveal and the console announcements are anything to go by, you might not even be able to get a post in edge wise due to the heavy traffic.

Going from the Princess Tutu MC to a Pickles avatar is a bit jarring.
It might've been an Ami avatar if you hadn't taken it first.
Just read this doujin, pretty good stuff.
Well, if Nafe has exclusivity over Minako, Mad Pierrot over Tomoe, and me over Ami, then we're going to quickly run out of spots when the SM bandwagon finally hits the road.
Aiko from Doremi has blue hair.

The song is kind of adorable in its clumsy shittiness. I dig it. but I also enjoy Nano.ripe and Denpa Onna OP so whatever.
no excuses!

Compromise: Everybody get a Tuxedo Mask avatar.
I doubt somebody will take Haruka before I do when that happens.
Then go with Haruka.

A's was brilliant because they decided to take everything that made the first one good and polish it up a bit to make it great.
The writers knew that there weren't a lot of interesting things to do with Nanoha and Fate's characters after the first season. Their story arcs were complete.
So they decided to
put the focus on the villains like they did with the first season, but instead add more of an air of mystery and tragedy to it.
The first season was good and all with it's evil villain. But by the end of the second season, the show basically has no real villain mastermind and it's all one big misunderstanding all the way through.
I remember back in the last thread I was trying to pinpoint who exactly was to blame for all that tragedy and came up empty handed. Basically everybody was the hero and villain in their own way. That was something I haven't seen an anime do before, and everything wrapped up nicely.

Ahaaa thanks!
Futari wa Precure Max Heart 4-5
Shiny Luminous get!
The animators must have loved episode 5. They got to use Shiny Luminous' henshin footage twice. It's not even a particularly good transformation sequence. I guess maybe it beats out the Cures', but that's only because their new transformation sequence sucks ass.
Also, confirmation that Hikari seems to be the Queen's "life". Because nobody had figured that out yet. At least Wisdom and the elder went back home to the Garden of Light so maybe we won't have to see so much of them standing around blurting exposition in future. That schtick was getting pretty old already.

But the older dude has a DARK PAST filled with ANGST; that's the strongest pussy-magnet in shoujo animu.

Believe me, a lot of things will get old already.
Cure Black's new transformation is basically a wish for her to become a Yoshi. It's just so ridiculous.
Shiny Luminous is really the most dull Precure. Shes literally characterless.
Some other time.
No time like the present!

technically, but you know what I mean.
She transforms and stuff and works with the Precures.
close enough.
Sonic 2 MS/GG was amazing fun times. Nothing in life prepares you for the severity of the first boss on a Game Gear screen; that is a life lesson in pain right there.
Oh and the utterly frustrating hang glider as well. Granted this is all mainly nostalgia since I grew up with those Sonic games rather than the Mega Drive ones but still, so good.
On the Nanoha/Fate lesbian debate, as much as I'd prefer it otherwise, I never really saw the whole yuri angle between them all that much either. Sure there are certain things that could contribute to it but nothing that really to me says that they're more than obsessively good friends.
Made for some great doujins though.

yeah if by that you mean she was boring as fuck then she's quite like citizen Kane.

Futari wa Precure Max Heart 6
In this episode, Hikari caught a balloon.
Also, at the end of the episode, a second Heartiel randomly appeared for no apparent reason.
These were the only two things of any consequence that happened in this episode.
(Oh, okay, I guess there was a new villain too. Big red guy. Nobody cares.)

I can't comment on the quality of said movie, but she was ahead of time in regards to the Character that drags things down by existing, as well as revolutionizing how to be thrown under the bus by the fanbase. She's also responsible of NTRing the cash flow from Splash Star into Max Heart and nearly sabotaged Pretty Cure as we know it. She's quite the big impact.
Get use to this.

3rd pilot was expected, 4th I thought was a red herring pilot. I would venture to guess the 5th pilot will be

Akira based upon the order the characters are shown in the opening intro, all the other pilots are in order 2-4 so it's safe to assume she's probably the 5th. The team also needs a second female and none of the other female characters seem up to the task unless they make Shoko the 5th lol
Second one ups the beam spam and is generally better.

Wait Photo Kano only has 2 episodes left?
I thought there were like 3 or 4 more girls?

The show is actually taking over Chihayafuru's time slot.

This episode contained food. Nagisa made dinner for family (
) and Hikari made crepes for random customers (
). Hmph.
This episode also included Passion, the second Heartiel, who is a pretty cool guy. He rides pigeons and doesn't afraid of anything.
There also seems to be a side-plot progressing about some old colleague of Akane's trying to get her to quit selling food and come back to do some real work. Don't listen to him, Akane. Delicious food is the most important thing in the world. Just ask Nagisa.

What episode doesn't contain food? It's like the main fetish.
Man that music, so good. I guess it's just a difference of opinion. Some of the GG/MS games were more akin to Mario's style of platforming than the more traditional "Gotta Go Fast" of the Mega Drive games. But then I'm biased.
There's always the monsters of the week. Who is brave enough to wear a

Wasn't even a rewatch for me. Went in fresh last year!
The problem is the leap-of-faith tubes where you have to press the right direction by trial-and-error or you die.

All right, Imma get back to Jojo later. Imma try out another one of Urobuchi's masterpieces. Which one? Here's a hint:
whoa why is the first episode 47 minutes.
Well there is that. That entire game is based around that kind of gameplay though; the hang gliders where you can't tell where you're meant to land, the annoying crab boss at the start where you have to dodge point blank range bouncing cannonballs on a slope, the section in Green Hill where you have to hit a series of springs at a precise speed or die or the stupid spinning magnet platforms in the final level where you have to time the button pressing just right for one jump to the next or fall back to the start again.
Technically, it's a very bad way of designing a game and probably makes it awful but since it was either learn my way through that or play nothing at all, it somehow stuck with me. I'd much rather have that than any of the newer incarnations. But then personal opinion and all that.
If you don't hate it from the bottom of your soul by now, something is wrong.

Well played, sir.
I didnt hate is so much as become apathetic over time. Its just so dull. Futari Wa Precure played itself out and Max Heart is just an unwelcomed addition.
