Sengoku school festival? Ok, you have all my attention.

Wasn't too bad of an episode. Our wallflower seems to be gaining the confidence that'll make her watchable yet at the same time, the male lead seems to be losing his confidence in protecting her.

Wanna know something? That's not even the worst part. Hell I didn't think that was as contrived as what happens later on.

Oh and your hatred for Nina? How high is it exactly? Because her reaction to her
nuke
in the next episode...I can't even.

On the other hand, look on the bright side! You got what you wanted! Thanks to Lelouch's sloppy Geass efforts, SOMEONE
he tried to "save"
was caught in the
blast!

Seriously though. You think this is bad? You're not even at THAT point yet.

My hatred for Nina is already at critical mass. If this isn't contrived compared to what happens later, I'm at a loss for words, because it made no sense already. Nothing about it made sense. Why would you
load a nuclear weapon into a gun that has apparently got no aiming system? Why would you arm a soldier with that when the fighting is over YOUR TERRITORY where YOUR CIVILIANS are in the way? Why would Suzaku's LIVE Geass trigger when the blast from that weapon at the range he was firing it would have killed him? And he KNEW it would have killed him, since he knew how destructive the thing was.
Nothing about that scene made a lick of sense.

And I'm only kind of half pleased at Nunally's death. It's Lelouch's fault, but given how he shoved his head up his ass last episode and basically just reflected all the negative qualities he claimed to have onto Suzaku, I'm inclined to expect I'll have to listen to him whine about how it was Suzaku's fault, even though it's only as much Suzaku's fault as the massacre Euphemia caused was her fault. So I'm happy, but not as happy as I would have been if #ROLO had done her in.

This part was actually the part that made the most sense in the last episodes of geass

This is not an encouraging thought.

Gladly!

Kobayashi Yu has done plenty of awesome roles and she can tackle pretty much anything you throw at her, from a big-breasted australian motorcyclist who travels the world to a snot-nosed little boy who is obsessed with soccer. Nyan Koi might be a forgettable dime-a-dozen harem but there's this one scene in episode 4 that has always stuck in mind mind precisely thanks to Kobayashi. In the show, Kobayashi plays a girl who gets often mistaken for a guy or otherwise gets mistaken for a lesbian, who loves beauty and beautiful people, who acts tough and overconfident but in reality has an inferiority complex over her own perceived lack of beauty, who is secretly afraid of lightning and who is also actually the daughter of a yakuza boss. And in that one single scene I linked to she goes through like four or five different voices like it's nothing. The woman's range is freakin' insane.

She is also legitimately kind of a weirdo, which just makes her all the more awesome.

And Maaya? Well, Maaya is love. Plain and simple.

Red Data Girl Episode 9 My First Debut

Funi should really work on their site, its always offline, though at least I do get Hulu so I could still watch RDG on time (I should use hulu for more than anime, but I dont know any live action stuff to try).

Eye candy was great and he needs more screentime, voice sounded extremely familiar but I didnt catch the character name so I cant check. Miyuki blushing multiple times was really nice as often we just see him scowling or that rare time with Manatsu, laughing and stuff when they were on each other.

Suzuhara stepping up to gaining confidence was easily her best moment of the series so far and really felt like she has grown and matured over these past few weeks. Curious how far she can go. And hime is hilarious

Series 1 yes. It really is a market thing as opposed to a rarity thing, because Cells are literally studio trash more often than not or the stuff just take them anyway.

Yeah, I can only imagine how many cels they'd have to use for a single episode. I can definitely see why they would get rid of them, they're probably run out of space fast.

I won't argue about the rest of the details, one way or another, but...I believe the point was that he ultimately used it as a distraction. The enemies who were previously focused on Suzaku suddenly had something else on their minds. Just using it wouldn't kill him either, as the blast radius still took some time to expand all that distance and people (including him) moved away.

And I'm only kind of half pleased at Nunally's death. It's Lelouch's fault, but given how he shoved his head up his ass last episode and basically just reflected all the negative qualities he claimed to have onto Suzaku, I'm inclined to expect I'll have to listen to him whine about how it was Suzaku's fault, even though it's only as much Suzaku's fault as the massacre Euphemia caused was her fault.

I'd want to comment on this, for a couple of reasons, but I'll have to hold my tongue.

Things definitely get way more unrealistic and contrived. But I honestly think there are a few parts which do make sense in spite of that.

Yeah, but really it's more of a "we don't care" sort of thing.
A lot of western studios are better at keeping their materials.

I'm never going to get tired of screencapping this expression.

They're REALLY grasping for clow card ideas assuming this was a filler episode. It was about as entertaining as most other episodes but it was still lame. Also CLAMP sexual deviance reassures us that girls in anime/manga want to have relations with their dad/someone who's like their dad.

On ep. 12 of Star Driver, Kanako is the best character and the based Goddessu. Every one of her scenes are hilarious, she deserves her own series where she is the central shining star.
