The comedy is magnificent , the various antics with everyone are doing exactly as expected... it's funny , original and it works

I'm so glad they don't forget to mix magic + Real world setting but we're missing characters ...i hope we get more demons and good guys stuck in the other world.

Lulz. I can't take the dorama in this anime seriously. Besides that it was alright. The action scenes are not fun to watch at all though. Meh. The ending song sucks.

Chiho's adorable. :3 Emi can be cute when she isn't tsun-ing all over. The pacing continues to be very well done. Things keep moving forward without feeling too rushed. ^^

Nintendo vs Sega 1

Opening: Bad.
Ending: Poor.

Can someone take me back in time and stop myself from watching this? Because the episode was horrible. I literally stopped watching halfway and really considered just ending my misery with this before just deciding to go through with it until the end.

No amount of fanservice can deter me away from calling out a episode with bad action scenes, pacing, characters, and a story I could not care for in the slightest.

Speaking about the characters, some of them honestly don't remind of anyone of whom they're based on. Sonic, Tails, Mario, and Yoshi were obvious though the others not so much (My Sega knowledge is admittingly not the best after not playing their games for so long). Link was truly the wildcard because that seriously did not look at all and I had to check up on who he was.

There's only like 3 episodes so far, but even then I'm not exactly excited about watching the rest. The only thing that will probably end up making me continue would be just to see the other characters.

I would have warned you except that I already warned you against The Unlimited earlier and I didn't want you to feel like I was shitting on everything you wanted to watch!

It's kind of shocking that Japan was able to produce a console wars parody even worse than Neptunia but here we are.

Neptunia has now become the pinnacle of console wars parody.

Without any context, I would have guessed that the answer to the question was "667", but.......no, I'm resisting temptation. I already haven't been in a watching mood for a couple of weeks so I'm not about to throw things that I'm not unironically interested in on the pile.

All I got was it would overheat at 100, and then it jumped to 666. Didn't understand anything else in that scene.

In that screencap he's saying something will happen once it hits 666. That's all. Possibilites exist. Hence, "What is beyond the 666?" and the answer is "Possiblity"

There might also be a bit of a Gundam Unicorn reference if you're watching that (and assuming the translation is accurate). Both are Sunrise works after all.

But why would he want to go past 666 anyway? They're talking about it overheating, so common sense would dictate if it got there, it would do just that and there's nothing past it.

Its okay! I wouldn't have minded if you had warned me about this as well.

And the only problem I had with Unlimited (so far) was the lack of explanation which like you said should be fixed somewhat in the upcoming episode. This anime on the otherhand, just made mad entirely.

I didn't think it was that hard to follow what was going on. I mean... his deduction of why it jumped from 100 to 666 makes sense. If didn't get it then you either weren't paying attention or you just didn't care enough to comprehend what was going on. I guess the always possible, you're not thinking/you're brain turned off brah? exists.

This isn't a show with a lot of common sense and Valvrave itself is basically a Super Robot. Also, what I said above.

This seems oddly condescending for someone who rarely knows what's going on.

I'm not trying to be condescending. If that's the way it rubs off then I apologize.

However, I do mean what I say that the logical thought process of L-Elf is pretty clear when he says whatever he does in that segment. There's an unnatural jump from 100 to 666. Not only does the Valvrave overheat when hitting 100, shouldn't the numbers go down if it's trying to prevent heating so it would be usable again. So why is it, a.) having a new max and drastically higher number and b.) the number is still counting up. The scientists created the robot to have something happen once the number is reached. Hence L-Elf responds, possibility. It seriously isn't that hard to follow through.

Also, not knowing about worldly things and the occasional brain derp != can't follow subs and think logically. The two are completely separate issues altogether.

Sorry Nodoka, but Ritsu belongs to Mio!

Man Yui and Ui are so cute together (in a sisterly way of course!). Their relationship is just so heartwarming that it kinda makes me feel bad for not being close with my own sibling.

Have you seen the garbage in some a lot of those threads? I'm sure Kagari can agree with me that there is a lot of crap that goes on in that thread. While my attitude isn't wholly justified, I think it's a reasonable response considering some of the idiotic posts those threads spawn.

Why does it matter what Kagari thinks? Regardless, doesn't take away the fact that you sounded like a major snob in some of your posts. :lol

And before people go pulling up post history with me and Tamako Market, that shit was different as people were ignoring the obvious. :p

I only remember parts of the first season previously, so I decided to play it safe and start from the beginning before moving forward.

Tsubomi, you're a cool girl. And that dress you made for yourself is awesome. But come on. Stop making excuses for this loser. "I took a bus back halfway on the way and didn't tell anybody because I'm too much of a pathetic coward." I mean, he did ride quite an impressive distance, and there's no shame not being able to reach his lofty goal. But fucking own up to it. You're worse than Lance Armstrong. Well, maybe not. Least you didn't lie for years and sue anybody who told the truth.

But still, no medals for having the courage to admit that he lied. What a shitty thing to win a medal for. You don't win medals for apologizing for the things you shouldn't have lied about in the first place. It's the first step in redemption, and unlike Lance Armstrong, it's possible for this kid. Still, no medals. At least not yet.

And for a show supposedly for little girls, there's been a bit of Kumojacky in only a loincloth lately.

Not that I"m complaining.
