I still rather it to movie 1 because Shiki and Kokutou ending part and the detective part that make us doubting Shiki actually interesting, its fell apart after its over. fuck that POS Lio, some SAO moment there..
The trailer has secret base. This guarantees firehawk will watch this movie now.
I think you misspelled 3.
Aikatsu! 24:
It makes sense that the best episode of the series would be completely removed from the IDOL CULTURE stuff and would just be a simple story about Ichigo, Aoi, and Ran bonding over a trip in the country. Good animation, pretty backgrounds, extra attention to character interaction and the smart exclusion of Otome and Yurika, who are great in small doses but would have ruined the natural and laid-back atmosphere of the episode with their overactive, artificial personalities.
I also liked how this episode trolled people who were hoping for fanservice in every way imaginable.
on an unrelated note, does anyone else have a problem when using Chrome of the urls in IMG tags disappearing whenever you preview a post? I had to switch temporarily because I managed to fuck up Firefox somehow and this is really annoying.

The girls decide to go to a hot spring and get on a train. When Ichigo sees the ocean from the train, she decides that she wants to go to the beach too, but Aoi shoots her down, telling her that it's forbidden for idols to get a tan. Later, when the girls are on a bus en route to the hot spring, Ichigo insists that they get off of the bus because she wants to explore a field of nanohana that she saw from the window. They all get lulled to sleep in the field, and by the time that they wake up and realize that it would be several hours on foot to the hot spring, they cancel the trip and just go home after someone offers to drive them :lol 10/10 trolling; keep it classy, Aikatsu.

I think I like 2 way more than most people. I was actually really surprised by all of the lukewarm-to-negative reactions to the movie when it came out. It just hits all of the right buttons with me. The only reason it isn't my favorite is because of how well 5 pulled off the spiral motif.

Subete no aware
They paid some Russians for the music, so probably not much money.
Also, I brought up Citizen Kane because everyone else brought up Miyazaki. lol
Kids on the Slope showed us the way!
Same here, its 5 > 2 > 4 > 3 and the rest for me.
First one hour and last 6 minute was good.
Meat between the buns.

The Gargantia Blu-ray Box sets which were announced at ACE are confirmed to contain English Subtitles, like most "big" Bandai Visual releases these days. The first set will be released on July 26 for 16,800yen, and will contain the first 4 episodes and a bonus OVA episode (full length episode).
Other goodies:
- Episode 1 will have two audio commentary tracks, one from the staff and one from the cast.
- There will be a special CD Book called Gargantia Logbook 1. It will be about 100 pages with a cover illustration by Hanaharu Naruko. It will contain an Audio Drama CD, a short comic drawn by Naruko (about 10 pages), and a short novel supervised by Urobuchi (about 40 pages), as well as Character design materials from the show and staff interviews.
- Also included is a 224 page storyboard book containing the complete storyboards for the first episode of the show by the director Kazuya Murata.
- Finally there's an Illustration Card Collection which includes 8 cards. They are illustrations which will be used as end title card for the broadcast as well as promotional stuff on the website. This is the first collection, and there will one in each of the box sets.
Box Set 2 will be out on September 25, and the final box will be released on October 25. Interestingly enough, the bonus OVA episode with the first box is labelled as "episode 14", so maybe one of the other boxes will have 5 episodes instead of 4? 13 episodes in total? We'll see.

I really dont get the point of sumarising shows into 90 minutes or whatever. Seems even less useful than shot for shot remakes.
Kara no Kyoukai: Murder Speculation 2
I know a lot of people hated this and part of me hates it too, however, just like the other OVAs there are redeeming elements. Nonsense murderer, stupid sentimental murder philosophy, and some idiotic banter aside I really enjoyed it. I always enjoyed Shiki and Mikiya's dynamic combo together and I thought it came together rather well. I think the show prides itself on atmosphere and it felt extremely worthwhile watching it. I find many of the CG stuff and background crap questionable but w/e. Oh yeah, that SAO scene was stupid as fuck and had it was pretty fucking distasteful. I actually find it more offensive than the SAO scene.
In short, I enjoyed this series for being interesting and more about mood rather than an actual narrative. I'll just view this as an overly-glorified love story with a twist of identification.
I heard the Epilogue OVA is utter and complete garbage so I'll get around to that after Future Gospel.

Girls und Panzer: Final
After marathoning the entire series, I have to say this is by far my favorite show this season. I definitely hope that a Season 2 or a spinoff comes out of this.

That part isn't new, but the part about the last three episodes being released at the same time later is. Probably to coincide w/ the final book's release.
Also, re: little witch academia:
Oh, diana
Hnnng!
I love that song too! So energetic.
Anybody wants a majestic burger?

[Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon] 022
FFS girl, will you ever stop being so dumb?the next episode preview says no
All the signs point towards them finally closing in on Nephrite. Good, that pedo deserves it.
That's total bullshit and you know it.
Naru falls for everything. the poor girl just gets played like a fiddle.
So this is just one short 30 minute episode? Bummer.
I should find a way to watch it on my 55 inch TV. That would be grand.

Let's talk about waifus aka isn't Sucy adorable?
edit: Posting this so as to not make this post entirely useless:
I'm sure its just the beginning of a shitty April Fools jokeathon. I hate April Fools Day.
Yeah, I just remembered that could be it :/
Oh god yes.
Based on those sketches I'm going with yes.
Who is Sucy then? And who is that?
