Turn A Gundam 1-

Well this is different. Art can be really ugly at times and really beautiful at others. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Also that Coming of Age ceremony....

The Vision of Escaflowne 16

It's kinda ironic that Alan hates his father for abandoning him when Alan did EXACTLY THAT to the mother of his child and also his child. I don't see a lot of honor in that. Dreiden is a colossal jerkface, too, and Alan's dad was apparently infatuated with Hitomi's gramma. Most interesting was that this episode, for the first time in some time, took us back to Earth for a minute.

Okay seriously it took the team like, forever to get here and Fulken and Zaibach just magically appear here? WTH? This is some Golbez level travel skills.

Episodes 104-116

I didn't watch the 3rd OP like I was told too since it contains a major spoiler, but I think I have a pretty clear idea of what that spoiler probably is. I'll hold off on watching it for now. Now as for the slate of episodes I just watched....

Crocodile....that dude doesn't fuck around AT ALL. Had Mr. Three be eaten by one of the giant banana gators (oh great, Three survived *rolls eyes*); used his sand sand Devil Fruit powers to send a big ass sandstorm straight to Yuba to destroy the town & Toto as well; stabbed Luffy right in the fucking chest/gut with his big hook; and he used powers to prevent the palace from being blown up. And with Luffy still out of the picture, Crocodile is really gonna go to town on the royal soldiers as well as Cobra & Vivi. At least he has a weakness. Just hope Luffy can remember to bring a shitload of water with him when he fights Crocodile again.

As for the two completed fights between the top Baroque Works agents and the Straw Hat Crew, they weren't half-bad. Definitely liked the Sanji/Bon Clay fight more than Usopp & Chopper vs Four/Merry Xmas. Sanji is a real sucker :p He'll never get laid. Just hope the Nami/Doublefinger and Zoro/One fights are just as good.

I take it this arc will end at Episode 130 since that's where Collection Five stops at, but it really doesn't matter to me. I've been enjoying the hell out of this arc. Can't wait to see how it all ends.

Code Geass 13

OH GOD NEW OP IS SHIT WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME ANIME THE HELLLLLLL!!!!!

This week on a Very Special Episode of Code Geass brought to you by Pizza Hut, Lelouch learns all about the value of life and how to deal with girls! C2 gives him some damn real talk. EWWWWWWWWW Naked Lelouch looks like a goddamn ReDead. Snap, and if it wasn't C2 dressing him down for his crap about being sympathetic, Suzaku is dressing him down for being sneaky and slimy, which is hard to deny, considering he just
BLEW UP THE JLF FOR HIS OWN GAIN

Suite DreamCure 33

The Premonition of Hopes and Dreams


Handsome Hibiki and Gaudy Hibiki Forms

And thus we bring their dreams to a close as we start up for the next plot line. Ellen, you'll find your dream soon, I can assure you since Suite has no sequel.

Trio the Minor failed and this was the last chance given. Time for shit to get real.... and probably for the worse.

Points for Ellen protecting their dreams. That's what Shiny Luminous tried to do for Nagisa's game in order to prevent maximum rehash. Too bad she's terrible and you're not.

Episodes 104-116

Ah that was a pretty good arc actually. A favorite even.

I'm thinking about possibly watching Another.

Is this a good idea?

Its ok.
mostly I watched it for Misaki Mei. Shes absolute l y precious.
otherwise its mediocre.

Spice and Wolf 07

New clothes make the lady and this was an amusing episode of buying and selling.

Spice and Wolf 08

Lawrence is weak to women and drunk-ish Holo is adorable.

Holo is cute in pretty much any circumstance. Even as a giant wolf goddess. ESPECIALLY when she's drunk.

Kuroko's Basketball season 2 is confirmed for the Fall season.

There's actually a clear version of this image:



The art style is totally different from Suite, which made this kind of a bad troll if it was actually done by a Toei employee.

I like this particular character design quite a bit.

Story details for KILL-LA-KILL:

-The theme is "ruthless sword-fighting action in an all-girls high school" but focused on CHARACTER DRAMA
-A transfer student wielding a weird sword that looks like half-scissors arrives at a school ruled by power and starts causing trouble.
-The main characters are heroine Ryuuko and rival Satsuki. Ryuuko's theme is "UNIFORM X REVENGE", Satsuki's theme is "UNIFORM X DOMINATION". The heart of the show is their relationship and rivalry.
-They were very specific in saying that both Ryuuko and Satsuki are the "protagonists" and that "their rivalry is what drives the entire series".
-Satsuki rules the school with the power of her uniform and Ryuuko opposes her. The main drama is created betwen these two characters.
-The show has two sides to it: BATTLE MANGA and CHARACTER DRAMA. It is set to run for 2-cours (24-26 episodes).
-Release date unannounced.

RIVALS = LOVERS IN BATTLE MANGA; YURI CONFIRMED. SHOW OF THE YEAR, ALL YEARS.

Okay here's what we know about Kill La Kill so far.

It's a 2-cours battle action show set in an all girls high school. The main characters are Ryuuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuuin. Satsuki is a transfer student who carries a one handed longsword and believes that might makes right. She attempts to subjugate the school body using her strength. Ryuuko is the one who stands in her way, and seems to be driven by revenge.

Originally the plan was to make a pure battle manga sort of series set in a highschool, with the main character beating rival after rival in combat. After Nakashima compled about 4 episodes worth of scripts, Imaishi probably got bored of it because he decided to trash everything. The series has apparently since been changed to focus on character drama instead. The rivalry between the two main characters will be a major driving force.

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu!! 12

The last episode of the series is about Sousuke accidentally bringing a biological weapon to school. Ono-D opens it and basically everyone thinks they're gonna die and hilarity ensues. I'd never stuck around for after the credits before, but I did it this time, to see that Sousuke attempts to escape the school (furious at him after finding out the threat of chemical warfare was somewhat overblown), radios for backup and in the final still is cornered by the school.

Of interest is a scene where Sousuke escorts Kaname to the Nurse's office and instructs her to undress. Kaname assumes they're gonna have death-sex, but the viewer is lead to believe this isn't the case as, well, the virus ain't so bad. However, Sousuke himself seems to have only learned this during his conversation with the weapons manufacturer, which begs the question: If Sousuke didn't know that the virus would
eat Kaname's clothes
, what was his actual goal in getting Chidori to undress?

The mind boggles.

I was thinking more about the lyrics more than anything else. I wonder if they've adopted any other more "ethnic" American genres into their music. I mean, I've seen Japanese rap and hip hop, but I wonder if the blues or jazz is something that they have incorporated.
There are Japanese jazz (or ska) bands, like Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Soil & Pimp Sessions, PE'Z...
