I really need to watch this, most memorable post made today. (i liked pre genre shift medaka box).
You are the hero we deserve.
Did you ever pick up the NISA set of Denpa Onna? It is absolutely beautiful.
I pick "team" by best girl, not by who gets with MC. You cant control who the creators match up with the MC, but you can pick which girl is the superior one.
Zelda SS has some of the bst dungeon design, the cutest Zelda princess, the motion controls, and a really neat world design and art style. The only gripes I had were the collectathon parts for padding. Otherwise its definitely one of my favorite. Not my all time favorite though that is probably windwaker or OOT.
As for Azazel san, how long is it?

Cuticle Detective Inaba Episode 3
Ogi's vengeful daddy mode was the best part of this episode. Completely forgot Kei had a thing for cats, so him being lovey dovey with Inaba was shocking at first. 2nd half introduced Stella who is cute, though I do wonder how long she's going to tolerate Ogito. Suprsingly, it was very infromative about the wolves in the SP and how Inaba gained his hair fetish.
I have the exact same opinion.
Still feel disappointed that Link didn't get any kind of reward in the ending.
I will be happy to integrate you, Moejita! Just tell me how~

Hyakka Ryokan: Samurai Bride 1 - This is the second season of Hyakka Ryokan: Samurai Girls. I still wish that it'd been a better harem action show like Daimao or IS that had gotten a second season, instead of this mediocre one, but unfortunately that didn't happen. And yeah, this was mediocre as expected. This series starts six months after the first one. Muneakira has been on a trip, so he hasn't been at the dojo until this episode. Then we learn that the major new addition this season is maid cafes, because of course that's just what this franchise needed. Will that make this popular enough to get a S3 or something, now? Sigh... That the next "Western" thing they add is maid cafes, as if anywhere other than real modern-day Japan (remember, this is an alternate universe where the Tokugawa never fell) actually has anything like that, is what they add is pretty stupid. Yes I know why they do it, but that doesn't make it any less massively dumb.
Anyway though, yes, the dojo has been made into a maid cafe, because the girls think that that'll be the best way to make money; the dojo is deeply in debt, and Princess Sen's brother (the not-nice-at-all prince) stole all of the credit for when Jubei and Muneakira saved Tokyo, so they got nothing for it. So yeah, maid cafe. They don't seem to have much in the way of customers, though, except for this one group of girls who apparently were dead, but revived themselves after hearing of Jubei's success at the end of S1. They want to fight Jubei now.
Of course, though, the Jubei they want isn't here anymore. See ep. 12 of the first season. It's just silly Jubei now. That's... not good, and the four villain girls, who are all named for famous samurais, attack the main characters, and win handily. Jubei can't even fight, and the others all lose in seconds. The ending sets up for what has to be either the next episode, or the series, we'll see which:
. Hmm. Are they going to negate S1 ep. 12's ending? That would be kind of too bad, that was the closest thing the series ever had to a legitimately good episode... we'll see. After this episode, though, my expectations are low. Not that I really expected anything else, given that most episodes of the first season weren't all that good either... but seriously, if this maid-cafe thing is going to have a lot of focus in the series, it probably will end up being worse than the first season. Sure there were some amusing bits, I will admit, but overall... yeah, this was well below average. Of course, so was most of S1, so I guess it's just continuing in the series' tradition. Eh, could be worse though.
I'll keep watching the series for now anyway. It was kind of nice to see the characters again. Apart from serious Jubei they're all as they were before, just now with maid costumes sometimes. Hopefully they can improve their skills quickly, though, none of them did well in that fight... Oh, and yes, Muneakira is still a generic "I am scared of girls" harem lead most of the time, and a serious samurai-style fighter or swordfighter in training other times. As if he could be anything else, in THIS genre.

They have one month to "find" the "real" Jubei, the super-powerful-warrior one, or Muneakira will lose his general powers forever and be unable to pick up a sword.

Best one. Accuse me of nostalgia all you want but you'll never change my mind.
EDIT: Oh Zelda as in the Princess. I thought we were talking about the game here. My bad.

Better luck next season.
Has MJP got an OT yet? I know it will likely rot on the vine, but if there isn't one I'll totally throw one together. I want to at least say I tried to give this show my full backing.

Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san. 13
And so it starts (almost) and ends on the same note.
Amazing, this was extremely fun to marathon through. Lots of energy, very nice VA cast and I really liked the changes in art they used throughout the series. Even though it was mostly one arc after another, the stories were all pretty good and connected well with each other and watching them all. Now I'm only three OVA episodes to season 2.

Gargantia 1-
This was alright as well. I did like the opening space battle much more than the ones in Majestic Prince purely because there was a sense of strategy to the whole affair. It actually reminded me of Gunbuster to a small degree. I also liked some of the visual distortion done in the battle. The alien design was also kinda unique in that they seem to be based off of mollusks. Sakura where art thou? The second half was obviously setup but I was impressed with the small detail in regards to the main lead waiting till the hangar was empty before making his move. Actually showed some intelligence on his part. The colors are really the thing that strike me about the production in that they seem very vibrant and alive. I'm really looking forward to underwater segments and seeing what they do with coral. The soundtrack was acceptable in that it's rather somber.

It is done.
I'm afraid to make an OT for it before a few episodes air because I don't want people to laugh at me. I'm very sensitive. ;_;

Detective Conan is pretty much the best there is at this, both in terms of the actual mysteries themselves, as well as the characters. There are certainly other good mystery anime, but DC stands a head above the rest.

gargantia mech kinda reminds me of accel world.
ew.

There's a couple of OVAs and a 13 episode first season. The episodes are also half length so one could probably blow through them in no time.
With the second season just starting now is the perfect time to jump in!
I'll take one for the team, Duckroll!
Now, if everyone wants to go ahead and quote up/link their impressions (Good and bad welcome of course) for me to throw into the Majestic Prince OT, I'd super appreciate it.

But the HD remake looks awful and it robs the original game of its trademark style.

If Duckroll or someone else doesn't get to it, I'll certainly do it. The mecha spring trio all deserve some OT action.
So? I post on Gaming to but I have respect for fellow posters. Quote them or resize them. Don't be lazy.
Oh and I made a mistake earlier with my Link to the Past post thinking it was about the game. Zelda in that is just a plot device. Best Zelda is Spirit Tracks Zelda.
Shouldn't it read "Moejita asks"?
It's annoying when you're scrolling though.
A fair point!

As someone who doesn't watch sportsball, I just treated it as fanservice for football nerd kiddies. Like when Gretzky randomly showed up in The Mighty Ducks. lol

You should have used "I Can't Believe My Sister Is This Cute" as the title for maximum effect.
I tend to cross-post to keep the OTs alive.

Old anime, obviously. I'm doing my part!
