I don't have a problem with the ending though. It's everything in the middle that gets stupid.
As I said, if HanaIro and Tari Tari were switched in terms of episode lengths, both shows would be improved.
You admit HanaIro is the superior show, yes?

[Valvrave] - 11
Well this is definitely still Valvrave. I can understand where duckroll is coming from when he said that the major beats were wholly predictable but I still found the execution of said beats to be as entertaining as always. They're still managing to throw some material into the story which really does come out of left field so even when I am expecting a twist of some sort the nature of the twist is usually in the form of something I hadn't predicted.
It is becoming increasingly clear that this whole thing is going to end on a cliffhanger, meaning that the wait for the next season is going to be quite arduous. I wonder how much story progression they've planned out for this show because even this far into the season we've barely touched on any of the wider plot elements.

I think I finally realized what exactly is so bad about the new Akito mech: centaurs are typically depicted with the human portion's ratio to the horse portion remaining relatively equal to that between the size of an actual human and horse. However, the mech's "human" half is disproportionately large relative to the "horse" half. It just looks incorrect, and potentially top-heavy. Imagine what a horse's gait would look like if its head was as large and heavy as the rest of its body. That's the only way that I can realistically imagine this mech in motion.

Agreed. The ending to Hanasaku Iroha is a much more emotionally fulfilling experience. It's legitimately sadder, but it also runs the spectrum of drama. You can feel some happiness, some melancholy, a feeling of how much everything has changed, and have both hope and regret.
I don't have a problem with the ending though. It's everything in the middle that gets stupid.

The middle to Hanasaku Iroha is pretty good as long as you ignore the two film episodes, which are such a minor thing.

Animal Crossing the Movie Part 1
Tom Nook doesn't sound like what I thought he would due to the tone of his Animalese in the AC games, but he does have that shadyness going on. Dude's a slave driver. I feel sorry for Ai, the moment she said she was moving in, Tom Nook just went "Oh...".
Blathers is back with personality, which he was robbed of in New Leaf (for the sake of faster donations), and looking at this just makes me want everything to be boss in my village.
Also Wild World music, meeeh.
Side note, an update into insanity
implications. My shrine gets closer.

Incest Art Online 18
Hey so uh, come to think of it, were all the PK Murderers from SAO punished? Or were they granted clemency? Did the books ever bother to address this issue? How do you prosecute someone for committing murder in a computer world?
You know, I don't know the context of firehawk's comment about child porn, but this lingering shot of a minor's breasts certainly conjurs up the term.
A naked shower scene with a gratuitous shot of hot water running down the cleavage between breasts. Of a barely teenage girl. Fucking are you shitting me right now. Not like this. Never. Fucking. Like. This. Holy Hell.

Things wrong with the opening narration: Incest girl shouldn't have known Kirito loved the digital world when she joined it, because she joined it what, a year ago? So Kirito would still be in his for 10 more months, and for all she knew it was a living hell there. Kirito also couldn't fly in his game, so her entire reason for loving ALO is based on something he couldn't experience in SAO at all. Also, incest.
Oh great, so she's a bitch who picks on nerds, too. Fuck Kirito's little sister. Except you, Kirito. Don't fuck her. That's just wrong. Thank you, SAO, for showing me a 14 year old girl in her puberty panties. I wanted to see this.

OH HOLY FUCK ARE WE SERIOUSLY DOING THE HEATHCLIFF WON'T LET ASUNA LEAVE PLOT AGAIN? FUCKING WHY AM I WATCHING A FUCKING RERUN. And the constant romantic subtext from a girl I know is this guy's sister doesn't make this situation better than last time at all. Renegades are also basically the recycled concept of a beater. Can I get an original idea sometime this episode?
Reeeeeaaaaallly not helping all this incest subtext. While I do think the villain is probably the best part of the show, unlike a certain (LOL IUNNO Y I KILL 4000 PEPPS), I must ask: why would you design a door to a cage with a code key that Asuna can learn and open when, as the system administrator, you can just as easily program the cage to not have a door and only allow yourself to open it? And if you're so intent on keeping her there, why not also make it so she wasn't allowed to move beyond a certain distance? Seems to me this guy isn't making full use of his power.
Wait. Does Suguha not know that Kirito is her brother? I don't. I can't. Fuck this.

Watching your reactions to this show remind me ToonamiGAF is going to be put through this show in a few weeks....

Do your ward members even know what jews are like
not that jewish people even are different than anyone else
I felt self conscious for like a week, just obsessing over what could've made them think I looked Jewish and what "Jewish Fun" meant. I really don't know.

Shingeki no Kyjin 2-7
This is gonna be one of those Anime that I am only watching just to see the end of it and I suppose it is not that bad at being bearable to the point me wanting reach the end of the episode. However, I think there are things that hinders any enjoyment above decent; I do think that the writing is really bad, me thinks. The whole show is trying to have this emotional resonance where its trying to showcase what is fear and despair, but its doing a poor job at that. The only emotional thing about it seeing how people die and who is gonna be next in line. The whole widening the eye is quite irritating, the monologues they say is slowing the series die. ''Why can't I move?'' ''Why am I scared?'' ''Why am I useless?'' and then you get ''why am I refusing to die'' ''Why am I not scared?''.
Those inner thoughts is not helping anyone and its coming off as quite Emo where the whole ordeal is quite obvious and I can see people dying. ''Why am I scared?'' No shit Sherlock, because you are about to die...
The art is terrible as well. The whole grain filter just adds a nonsensical illusion to an already confusing artists style. Black thick lining on a such monotone artstyle is not suitable. and the proportions and the way the body is jerked is badly conveyed.
Sorry if I am sounding confusing or just downright harsh on the series, bu there are elements that annoys me which affects my feeling about the show. I do like the fact that everyone can die and how the world is explored.

Seeing a naked bearded man grinding a pocketwatch to dust with his bare hand in the middle of a crater as forked lightning ripples through the sky is strangely manly.
THIS GUY'S EAR IS PIERCED WITH A PINK CLOTHESPIN.
This is quality post-apocalyptic violence. I fucking love the Mad Max aesthetic so I might actually get some unironic enjoyment out of this.

I was about episode 12 when I was advised to stop watching it. It may have been my best decision this year so far.
Nudity might be going a bit far, but you do have an audience that love OreImo, so the level of abhorrence isn't as bad comparably.

The very best.
I shouldn't. Everything about this section is terrible. And the ripping off of Digimon to include the hero's kid sister isn't helped by the fact that said kid sister is become the provider of fanservice to the show. Maybe if I was a kid I wouldn't care as much, but as a grown up, it's just. plain. awful.
Knowing that doesn't make it less horrible.

Datpaid off so well. Of course, since I highly doubt the anime or the novels are successful enough to justify a sequel season two years from now when there are more books to churn through, it really is an odd place to end it.martyr complex
But then again,, so maybe ending it like this ("extra episode" aside) is for the best. There isn't a chance for the show to backtrack and squander its... well, SNAFU'edness.it's not like The Dark Knight Rises was any better than The Dark Knight
At the very least, this is what Haganai wishes what it could be. And probably what Kawahara thought he was doing when he had that first arc of SAO. But the thing is, this stuff really only works if there is no self-satisfaction for the audience or the character. When connected to a direct power fantasy, being an anti-hero is just a way of being too lazy to come up with an interesting way to be a hero.

What the fuck with this episode?
What was that with Suruga? >___<
HeartCatch Precure! - END
Even though there are somethings I liked more in Smile...
HeartCatch>Smile.
Precure HeartCatch Orchestra! is the best finish movie I saw in a good while.
Joker was more of a villan than Dune could hope for, but the fights in HeartCatch were way better than in Smile.
someone ought teach these girls what truly is a punch.
What was up with that Ban X Nami-Nami shipping at the end of the world?
Kaoruko was pretty nice, she did what I expected her to do, and had importance in the story till the end.
The Snackeys were awesome,
Won't someone think of the Snackeys?
Going to make some popcorn at 3:30AM and watch the movie.

they shined with Erika on episode 39, but why didn't they show what happened to them in the last episode?
Where is HeartCatch 2, they can't finish with that shot of Futaba, and don't give us a second season, riiiiight?

Woman sounds really fucking pissed regardless of what she's saying? Yup, this is an older English dub.
what's-her-face's bare tits have an aura so strong that they extinguish the candles in the room. "He's got something that other men don't. He's strong enough to protect me." STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER

Well, it's basically the crux of the entire story, and one of the main focuses of the show.

At the time, I despised the Tokyo Arc. I just remember it being manipulative melodramatic schlock, the equivalent of the second act of a romcom where the heroine needs to get shat on in order to pay off the third arc, but much more heightened and artificial.
I hope you watch the sequel. So few seem to have!

I don't think we want to go down this path.
Iroha had some questionable content, all other flaws aside. Being better than AnoHana isn't much of a triumph.
You can probably reduce the series down to five or so episodes and be better off for it.
I guess what I'm saying is that if there had to be weird bondage stuff so early in the show, it should at least have been with Nako.
