The Vision of Escaflowne 14

Oh dude, so there was some crazy repairs and stuff going on, as well as a Mermaid Problem, and some more complicated romance because girls like that or stuff but what matters most about this episode was that the Escaflowne completely RUINED Dulandau's unit. Just SLAUGHTERED them. Ten to one and it was an unfair fight in the one's favor. Oh man it was so damn cool. Then a little blood got spilled in the cockpit and, well, whatever.

Dulandau ran like a baby, which makes sense because Escaflowne just tore the HELL out of his subords.

Scary the namco bandai PR ..years before they make a puchimas anime they already started their invasion in the regular show !! Scary !!

-----
So the main plot of the game follows... in a way i wasn't expecting to.

ARGH JUPITER ..no matter how many appeal i make in the game you're riggued to finish first during "that" event !
That's already one reason to dislike you , but then again you're all Guys !
That's a second reason to dislike you !

I mean ... seriously ??Anyway i'm actually intrested how they will adapt the game plot in anime and how they will do it. because so far that's a pretty nice adaptation.
They rewrote 90% of the events into new things while keeping the "true" stuff ( the story )
SO i guess we're in for 20 week of game time for this part.

BUt woah i wonder how many new singles they outputted during the first run of the idolmaster anime....knowing them it must have been a lot ....
That new opening is cool but i like the first more

I nearly picked up King Of Thorn the other day, but at £25 in store there was no way I was doing that. And of course, the US BD is only £10! Stupid anime pricing...

So Maka and Soul are in the remedial class because even though they've obtained 100 souls they lost them all due to eating a cat's soul instead of a witch's soul? Death is such a troll. Black Star continues to be the most inconsistent character in the series most moments he's an awful idiot then randomly he's a complete bad ass.

I think I might set aside some time today to watch some Hidamari Sketch as I've only watched the first episode.

Thirding this, but by now you're probably already watching it right? RIGHT?!

Sound of the Sky 6

Holy shit this episode is freaking amazing. It's no Pulp Fiction but it handled multiple plot threads brilliantly.
The whole bootleg alcohol operation was a stroke of genius, and Naomi was in on it as well?! And everyone in gangster costumes!
SO GOOD!

It's good, but I can't marathon anything.

Code Geass 11

All in all not bad. Definitely like Suzaku more than Lelouch, even with the implication that he murdered Lelouch's mom. Mostly because I prefer Suzaku's "I'll go and do this" touch as opposed to Lelouch's sitting back and letting others do it for him. Granted, Suzaku is more of a soldier and Lelouch more of a tactician, but still. I hope they don't plan on dragging out this Cornelia thing for much longer, though.

Excellent episode

It was funny, light hearted ..but full of nice moments , with some great jokes.

Ami & mami clearly won some points in my heart and their parody was magnificent.

But did they use the anime to put the dlc outflit packs at 1200¥
( several different ones ) in a good light ?

Again ,never underestimate namco bandai PR lol ( no wonder those sold so well )

This really has gone into full pandering mode. Gone are the days of a brother and sister awkwardly trying to mend their broken relationship.

So here's a few numbers on how the Infinite Stratos novel relaunch is working out saleswise so far, from last week's LN sales charts.
*2, 53,581 *,*53,581 IS: Infinite Stratos Vol.8
*3, 29,803 *,*29,803 IS: Infinite Stratos Vol.8 Special Edition
*7, 18,804 *,*18,804 IS: Infinite Stratos Vol.1 New Edition
*8, 17,686 *,*17,686 IS: Infinite Stratos Vol.2 New Edition
Click to expand...
For comparison, the week that IS vol.7 came out back in 2011:
*1, 101,356 *,101,356 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.7
Click to expand...
Thought to be fair, that was just after the anime had finished airing -- and if the novels hadn't abruptly gone on hiatus right afterward, I'd bet it would have kept higher numbers for a bit longer.

A better comparison would be to volume 6, a couple weeks before the anime started:
*3, 37,310 *,*37,310 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.6

3) Suisei no Gargantia

This was a nice filler.

The star however of this episode was without a doubt hamzo , that realised something that nobody before him could do .... a hamster slap.

Impressive achievement!

This must be the week of
fake crazy lesbians
. At least when you use
finger sex
to describe this episode, it's literal.

I swear, it's like the pandering has gotten to a boiling point this season.

It shows you just how important Hibiki was(n't) when her focus episode can safely be classified as "filler". :lol

Click to expand...

Well it's the case for everyone actually.
If they follow the game plot i expect nothing but filler untill
Jupiter learn of kuroi schemes and decide to quit

Episode 15 was also a nice filler But those episodes are actually showing everyone in a nice light and that's all i want really.

Filler but good filler .. that's the real point of the anime really ( since they use those filler to use AGAIN dlc outflits they sell so high on the marketplace/psn )

Still the best show this season. The part where she is
literally an angel
got a nice chuckle out of me.

I wasn't going to pick this up since something about the purple haired girls eyes weirded me out but after seeing a small but significant amount of praise I figured why note. Wasn't entirely sure in the first half of the episode but the section with the S&M quiz was great.

Yellow >>>>>Pink=Purple

I really like Yuyushiki. It was my surprise this season because I didn't think it would be good.

Pink is the best though.

Season 2 of the anime will be so exciting. AnimeGAF will unite as one.
