Just a quick word to say that unlike mad pierrot analysis on the precure franchise ( that isn't entirely wrong ) i think that splash star as well as heartcatch are season that are good in their entirety !
The other seasons are quite flawed ( and have serious lowdowntimes )

WTF
WHAT THE HECK DID I JUST WATCH ?
What in the flying f*ck is this ?
The setting of this anime is really hard to take seriously , but after this episode it's just impossible !
You're telling me that EVERY YEAR , every summer , there is something like that attacking ? How the heck does that works ? what about reconstruction ? what about the populace ? Are you telling me that every freaking year , there are no injuries and no deaths ?
What about the building ? what about reconstruction ?
How the heck is the insect magistrate not facing any critiscim ?
How the hell does everything works ?
How the heck were they managing without nagai during all the previous year where he wasn't there .?
Also , about the hikkikomori, i know he spend a lot of time in his room , but how the hell something like that is not common knowledge (even to him ? )
How the heck is half the freaking country isolated and none of the populace knows about it ? Is nobody even travelling ?
I mean there are ^plenty of things wrong in this show ...so far it's alright because it's entertaining , but i'm glad i can try as much as possible to turn my brain and enjoy the show because , no matter how you spin - it, and despite teh fact that it's fantasy ... all of the above is quite hard to accept , as it is.

I've made my disappointment of StrikerS established, but I completely agree that the last few episodes were great even if I can't look at the majority of the other episodes the same way.

This thing looks like a purple Iron Man. Real Talk.
No no no. That isn't sweat. She's covered in the literal tears of all those who opposed her inclusion in Smash.
Haha, that otter's face is my exact reaction to this show. I am partial to the following clip from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
If I had Sunhi's GIF skills, I would make this happen.
I've been hearing about this and thinking about watching it, because while not giant, I've been a fan of the Robot megagenre since I first read Asimov's work as a kid.
I'm also pretty interested in this one, if only because its unique concept.
Mwahahaha! There will always, always be next Conference.
This show sounds straight up crazy.

Sounds like it would be right up your alley.
Why Suzaku in there?
I used to eat Asimov up. The entire Foundation series, and his Robots series. When I saw The Big O and the show used motifs from the Robots series (humanity being centered in cities with the outside dome areas being largely abandoned) and called Dorothy R. Dorothy, I swooned.
Also the Faded Sun. I loved the Faded Sun series as a kid.
I've never quite found a space opera series I really like since, though. Not as a book, anyway.

Clearly he spun his way onto the StrikerS set.
Haha, its in my backlog. I'm trying to cut down to three or four shows, not counting the ones currently airing. Utena is currently the one I'm, I dunno, "Groupwatching"? Then there's Classic Gundam Hour (which is actually currently new stuff because of Unicorn). Slayers Try will be wrapping up, at which point I'll have a free slot for not mech stuff, and G Gundam is occupying the "Not Classic Mecha" slot. When it ends I'll be moving on to Turn A Gundam since the NCM is also the Not UC Gundam slot.

After all the nonsense that was going on it's nice to have an episode that isn't afraid to go full nonsense for the comedy.
So Mitsuki want info and decides to sneak as a spy and extract the info from the main characters and choose our MC because , he's the easiest target .
She couldn't have predicted the sheer amount of work and challenge required when you have THIS
and the sheer amount of goodwill and trust that comes from our main character.
This is something else, without a doubt
And of course the end result is this :
The end result is trully spectacular..
But now i guess the happy days are over because we're back for more action in the next episode ...Can't wait.

I did this a while back actually. I paid attention to the dates though.
That's a good idea. I'm an idiot for not thinking of that.
But its adorable at the same time.
Its all about dat Misaki!
That is so hilariously accurate.
Of these Haibane Renmei and Millennium Actress are the very best.

An undulation is fine too.

Oh, so Origami does remember him asking her out. Sorry girl, but shooting a guy in the head is solid grounds for a breakup. Now why he doesn't realize this...I don't know. It's not like he has to keep her happy or anything.
This "training" of his is dumb. How to handle a girl being in the bathroom. Answer: KNOCK IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED! Everyone knows that. If you have to be trained to do that,, you're probably four years old. Or you're an idiot. Anyway, I don't know what he was supposed to learn in that whole thing with the bathtub. I guess "If you see a girl undressing to get in the tub, give them a heads up that you're there"?
How come his teacher just let him leave and not go into the shelter? I'm pretty sure she'd be responsible if anything happened to him. And how come Tohka was just able to leave the shelter? Don't they have somebody who's there to say "Hey you can't leave, this is an emergency"?
Important part is she did leave and saw Shido with that other Spirit. So this show, unlike other harems I've seen, actually will have the main character get into situations like this, where they become upset. Huh. For a second there I didn't think they'd do that. But it'll probably end in blue-haired girl and her stuffed bunny (guy meant business) moving in with them. so they'll have to juggle that...yeah I'm not sure this show will even bother at that point.
Fuck this, I'm hooked. Who needs sense and quality?

Reading the Madoka OT, I am not alone in my opinion of catbbit. Good, good. That thing'll eat your soul. Also, think I've decided not to read the OT. Kind of want to make my own theories on this one and not be influenced by outside sources who are smarter/more attentive than me.

I don't think there's any need, really. There's a number of signs in the last episode to suggest that it's going to come to a close.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Everyone, buy three copies of the Senyuu BDs!
This does feel Lucky Star-lite in pretty much everything. How it opens (though I keep expecting them to bring me into an awesome OP), the jokes and delivery of them, the background character voices. I am amused by the ED jokes they are doing reflecting on how poor the characters are.

Oh yeah. This show has a love triangle. Not this soon!!! ...but thank gosh our protag is actually not the worst person EVER

Oh my heart. <3 ... I'm dreading the end of this series, though.
Remon is so awesome. LOL HIGH SCHOOL OF THE DEAD
Personally I don't care too much if Ichika's acting possessive at this point. Katsura was not the worst character in School Days.

I was wondering when they were going to have him go super saiyan/hollow Ichigo. Kind of a shame they couldn't keep him as a relative weakling or give him a less accelerated progression.
Are they any animated titles where the main lead stays second stringer? Off the top of my head I can only think of the first season of Nanoha and Kaleidostar.

Only one episode left. They're clearly rushing the story now, maybe they shouldn't have wasted so much time earlier on with only a 1-cour run planned.

Ok I finished watched the second half of Yuyushiki 11. I think they nailed down the "rainy school day" atmosphere really well. There was some sense of nostalgia of just sitting in class talking about nonsense in a gloomy mood. Didn't think a trashy anime like this could evoke such feelings.

So uhm, hmmmmmm. I mean, Valgaav is dead, and Dabadabadingo is back in his cell in astral prison for like however long. Lina and the gang probably made it out okay, and Gourry's sword is floating out there somewhere. What's left to do for the next 11 episodes?
I'm sure all of this amounts to a Disc One Final Boss, but still, kinda wondering where they go from here. Also I wish this season would end with Xellos x Filia being a thing.

My only rainy school day memory was my third grade teacher slamming his 1m ruler on my desk for being a little shit. ._.

I got to play my GBA when there was a rainy day, which was preferable to the average recess.
I remember a teacher getting kicked in the balls in the fourth grade and don't know how this is relevant to your story.
Anyway, rainy day school days made up like, 99% of the school days in the Rainy State where I grew up, so I remember those all too well. Boy did they suck.
