I enjoyed this episode mainly because we got Saichi fighting instead of Domon. It really does strike me how much they toned Domon down though.

Haha, when Shino tells Hata she doesn't have a boyfriend her eyes flash towards Tsuda for like 2 frames of animation

That was dark and grim and awesome, it's hard to comment when most of the discussion is speculation based upon what I already know thanks to reading the manga. Episode 7 or 8 is going to be great when it happens

So we're finally getting to the parts I remember. I remember Allenby being best girl but I'll have to rewatch the show to confirm this. I can already taste Rain's jealousy. Well, it also looks like they actually got money this episode.

Hopefully we get more regular Allenby before they do the whole amnesia berserker arc. Great episode overall.

This is so bittersweet. the bitter being me because this isnt released here and never will be.

That does seem kind of odd. "This is the spot where it happened in the story! See if you can find the ghost..."

A nice dramatic episode giving Klaus some of the spotlight before things wrap up. I am a bit concerned about how the ending will be paced with 3 aired episodes left and the BD special but I guess I'll see soon enough. Also they've been nailing the orchestral music for a while but I realized I never mentioned it in these impressions so kudos to them for that.

The OST for Sora no Woto is absolutely gorgeous. I was floored when I first heard it.

Yeah you guys weren't kidding, I really could've done without the ED on this one.
So the Romans are analogous to Germans but they're olive skinned? The Helvetians speak french but are near a lot of Japanese ruins so I guess everything is a blend of everything else.
Also I've decided to
leave the german unsubbed the first time through so even after I finish please don't spoil for me on what the Romans say.

The ED is so jarring after what happened there XD
Seemed so inappropriate and yet so perfect to put you in a happy mood again.
Mood whiplash total.

Cast announcements for Genshiken Nidaime. Besides the newcomers (of which Sumire Uesaka is voicing one, the hyperactive fujoshi Rika Yoshitake), Ogiue has been recast from Kaori Mizuhashi to Nozomi Yamamoto (Yukimura in Haganai).

edit: actually, they may have announced they'll be replacing all the original cast? Can't quite tell from the source article. What does 上級生・ＯＢもキャスト変わるよ mean? No more Hiyama as Madarame would be sad, though to be fair he isn't as energetic in Nidaime as he was in the original.

edit2: finally tracked down the key visual.

This looks not so good. Too many changes :/

Sound of the sky 13

You know I just keep putting my foot in my mouth with this show because I did end up altering my opinion a little with this episode, I pretty much got exactly what I asked for with this ending along with some good world building to boot. That doesn't change the fact that the previous ending diminishes the coherence and pacing of the series as a whole to me, they shouldn't have escalated it so far if they couldn't resolve it in a satisfying way. But all in all I'm far more happy with this show because of this episode.



Regulus Tera pretty much nailed the only real draw of the movies but if you want something more with the show then the parallel works are worth a watch. All of them are rather short and show a lot of fun experiments with the style and premise of the show.

The ending of SNW was its weak part. It ended far too abruptly and felt rushed. Plus it was bittersweet in a way.

Kuttsukiboshi 1

Okay, so we've got Kawakami, a girl with light psychic powers, and her friend Saitou who knows her secret. And they're in love. Yaaaaaay, yuri! :D Seems like they're not going to have any real explicit sex scenes, so this is just going to be a nice, light love sto- WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE AKLFHAKLHGLKH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
WHY IS SAITOU FUCKING HER OWN BROTHER
?! THIS IS SOME GODDAMN SHIT RIGHT HERE. FUCK.

Kuttsukiboshi 2 -END-

This is the stupidest goddamn thing I've ever seen.

So the episode starts with Saitoh getting the news that her brother died. Then we move on to Saitoh chloroforming and raping Kawakami in the school's sports equipment shed as a way to make up for letting Kawakami catch her doing her own brother or something. That's right. Rape. Then it flashes forward and they've been in there just doing it for a few days. Kawakami tries to ask Saitoh why the hell she was FUCKING HER BROTHER, but gets no answer and leaves. Saitoh doesn't come to school the next day, but Kawakami sees her as she's leaving. They get on a train and fuck...wait, what? They fuck on the train? Whatever. Anyway, they go back to Saitoh's house and, you guessed it, fuck some more. And Saitoh mentions that she's leaving Japan tomorrow because of reasons. Then Kawakami suddenly gains the ability to read minds, and sees that Saitoh fucked her brother because he was dying of an inoperable brain tumor and just REALLY WANTED TO FUCK HIS SISTER BEFORE HE DIED. Fuck this show. Anyway, Kawakami wakes up from her mind reading dream to see that Saitoh is already gone. In fact, she's already on the plane flying to somewhere that isn't Japan or whatever. Suddenly, Kawakami goes Super Sayian or evolves like a fucking Pokemon or something and gains the ability to FUCKING TELEPORT. So she teleports onto the goddamn plane and tells Saitoh that she forgives her for the whole "fucking her brother" thing and that she loves her and what the fuck ever. Then they try to teleport back to Saitoh's house, but end up falling through the sky towards the ocean or something. So they grasp hands in midair and teleport again, and this time they end up ON ANOTHER FUCKING GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING PLANET. ANOTHER GODDAMN PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANET. FUCK ANIME. Then Kawakami says she's lost her teleportation powers and they're all like "Hey, I don't know where we are, but the sky is pink and there's like six visible moons or planets or whatever in the sky and we'll probably never get home and WE'RE ON ANOTHER GODDAMN PLANET, but that's okay because we're together!". THE END.

Fuck anime. Fuck everything. This was worse than BRS TV. This might be the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm going to go drink bleach. Fuck.

Seems like only I've been watching in order.



I'm debating on stating if you should move onto Max Heart after Futari wa or save that for later.

Max Heart is way too similar to FWP and really not worth the trouble. Shiny Luminous isnt very memorable or likeable. She is literally "just there" for a majority of the time.

They allowed her to go to an old mans house, which makes perfect sense in this world of se--- woah wait what.

Old man wasn't a random old man, but actually a relative of Tomoyo and Sakura's mother. Who isn't related by this point.

Very enjoyable episode.

But seriously, all her Shaft roles are great and then, bleh. Oh well, doesn't tarnish her work I just want more for her. I care about her and want better for her.

I liked the ending too, actually. I wasn't a huge fan of the entirety of the 3rd arc, but the last few episodes were fine and good.

Were the movies an attempt at a different ending or something?
Click to expand...

Not a different outcome, but definitely different events leading to that outcome, by which I mean added escalation. Let's just say if you thought the ending of the series was ridiculous in scale, the 2nd movie will blow your mind since it goes a couple quadrillion light years beyond that.

Rally liked that. He's still the same guy but a bit more trusting and less volatile. If I have any complaint about it, it would be the lack of subtlety in his character growing but that's the m.o. of the show after all.

The show's mix'n'match of cultures is why I love posting this:
Cute Japanese and European teenage girls, wearing Wehrmacht uniforms, exploring a Japanese school in a Spanish town full of French people who make Venetian glassware on Switzerland's French border, in a country that has a soldier princess playing Amazing Grace on a trumpet, following a Shinto-Christian religion with a miko-nun, treating tropical diseases only children get, accepting yen as currency while not being able to read kanji, celebrating Spanish traditions mixed with Chinese New Years legends, shooting at African owls (that try to keep them away from schoolgirl ghosts) with German rifles, being led by a traumatized commander who is afraid of lightning, tricking Italian mobsters to keep them from moving in on the girls' bootlegging operation which finance their paycheck and supplies, playing war games with a nun and getting pissed drunk, pissing themselves and becoming baby factories for the Pope, creating biological weapons while still little kids and killing thousands, all while at war with German-speaking brown-skinned Americans with bindis on females' foreheads from a Roman Empire lead by the Pope that follows a monotheistic religion that believes in the Judgment Day, while piloting a finally fixed multi-legged, demon-slaying, weather-reporting, stealth-sniper and simulation training mode capable, AMAZING GRACE SINGING, Engrish-speaking, talking like a SPESS MEHREEN,wall-climbing, 200mm coil gun-firing "son of the god of fire" supertank from the past (aka Tank-kun).

And yeah, that "CLARE" is a typo exactly as shown in the booklet itself, it should say CLAIRE.

For every other doubt regarding the series and previous feature films soundtracks... Reichu covers it all using the all-encompassing NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: S² WORKS CD-BOX, even with demonstrative images on the usage of each musical piece:

I think it could not be too bad; the character designs and art are at least better than Medaka's.

Why is the pirate lady's breast so big?

According to Wikipedia:
Each breast contains 15–20 lobes. The subcutaneous adipose tissue covering the lobes gives the breast its size and shape. Each lobe is composed of many lobules, at the end of which are sacs where milk is produced in response to hormonal signals.
