Maken-ki is a series about fanservice, sexism (the MC is one of the worst white knights in anime!), fanservice, action, sexism, and pretty much nothing else.
I presume because of its crazy fanservice-to-anything else level that exceeded even Samurai Girls'?
The sexism was quite unpleasant, yes. Sure, most anime is like that to some degree, but Maken-Ki is so much WORSE than your average show in that regard!
I am now singing the OP. PI PIRUPIRUPIRU PI PIRUPIIIIIIIIIIIII (up a major 3rd) PI PIRUPIRUPIRU PI PIRUPIIIIIIIIIIIII
Loran & Laura? Story convenience so he can interact with both sides.
Oh god not again
I'm gonna go finish up Dragon Ball GT after stopping halfway through for a few months, I hope it's not too bad. I left off where

Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 2000% 06
Our new otome lead blushing at the pretty boy of the week and doing a jumping start to insert a CD causes everything to sparkle.
I am amazed at how our former otome lead barely did anything this week. At best she was the intermediate NPC of a fetch quest that leads the one item into the hands of someone more important.

That's what I figure but it becomes such a big part of the show that it's really hard to just hand wave away.

Fuck. I love the way that city looks on the Imaishi/Nakashima interview page.
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 36
I can't decide which is funnier about Jared Messa: that he is the subject of constant pain and humiliation at the hands of an untrained boy who for all intents and purposes took up piloting a mobile suit on a whim/because of his girly name; or the absurd amount of ground he covers in spite of those injuries. In spite of being on crutches and getting shoved down a cliff, he makes it from the sick bay to Four's room to the science center to the cliff to the mobile suit hanger always moments BEFORE Kamile does.
Oh and Char is telling Kamile he needs to stop having feelings for women and instead do some fighting.
WHICH REMINDS ME. Back on the Zeon ship, Char got called a traitor and he was all "I'VE NEVER BETRAYED ANYONE IN MY LIFE!!!" Except . . . if he's never betrayed anyone, how do we justify his murdering Caecelia and Garma Zabi? Hell, Caecelia he can justify I guess because she was no one to him and just another part of the Zabis that took away his father, but what about Garma? THEY WERELOVERS FRIENDS, WEREN'T THEY?
You have to be kidding me. YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME. I mean, I know this was bound to happen here, but I still can't believe
Oh, well, still better than Shinn and Stella.

Yes! Pretty Cure 5! GoGo 36
Today's episode is brought to you by trolling
So they win a shot on Five de Chance for a year supply of Chocolate and their names engraved on a trophy. But Karen don't wanna, so Milk saves the day (btw this isn't an audition for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure)
But hay, it's hosted by NIGHTMARE! So cheating is involved. Today's victims in this two parter episode is Rin, Komachi and Nozomi.
It's like a wet dream of trolling, along with Nozomi being treated like an idiot.
WHAT WILL OUR HEROES DO!? CAN THEY RETURN HOME?! Why so much trolling? I needed this after dealing with the shit that was the Suite movie... and 35/36. It's like the only bright spot in today's Precure (because if I do watch more, it will just be awful).

Rin had to get 100 points in her game, unfortunately the Goal post moved, it blocked soccer balls with its hands, and to top it off, it hits her final shot back at her... with a Bat. Komachi was trolled by a moving buzzer. Nozomi was a Guess the Shadow game since it was simple enough for her. Too bad the shadows were actually Hoshinas dressed up as the objects. The final one however, was not a Hoshina dressed up as a Penguin

Episodes 107-130
No long write-up for this one. Only need two images for what I watched:
AND
Didn't seem much different to any other haremy ecchi type show to me.
I had less of a problem with Shirou's whiteknighting in FSN than the lead in Maken.
...god damn.
I want this to happen.
So long, Space Cowboy.
I will miss your unique perspective.
Thats pretty cheap!!
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
I can't believe it's taken me this long to realize that Emi in Maou-sama is also Mio from K-On!
It's made even worse by the fact that I started K-On! right around the same time that Maou-sama started airing. I've been hearing her as both characters on a regular basis for the past six weeks!

It is worse. Oh yes, is it far, far worse. As I said, the MC is an AMAZINGLY stupid, unbelievably dedicatedly sexist white knight. Most harem anime characters don't get near his level.
Hah... yeah, they're definitely the top two on my list of most annoyingly sexist white knights in tv anime. Which one's worse, though? That is hard to say... maybe Shirou, but it's close. FSN has some other characters which are actually decent, but Shirou defintiely is not one of them. And yeah, I know he's not quite as bad in the other stories that aren't in the anime, but still, the moronic white-knighting is a key part of his character.
Really, I had a big problem with the white-knighting in both cases. It'd be hard to choose which I hated more because of it... maybe FSN because it actually had some potential to be good, apart from that stuff, while Maken-Ki never really did, but just looking at the main characters alone... you might even be right, but I don't know if I can choose. They're both so horribly bad.
Oh lol I thought I was smart for figuring out she was Shino in SYD too! AHH MIO YOU'RE EVERWHERE
See the only thing I really recall is his whole notion of not wanting girls to fight. Which is a pretty silly attitude to take in-universe. He pretty much relies on them to protect him right through the whole first season.
Azumanga Daioh 26
I cried. It was hilarious, but I cried. Frickin' memories of my own graduation, and reflection on what I've done between then and now, and knowing that while I'm still really good friends with some of my high school friends, I've lost touch with others, and worse in one case. DAMN YOU AZUMANGA DAIOH AND YOUR HITTING ME IN THE FEELS.
During the series I always see myself as Tomo, 'cuz that's how I was in High School: the jerkass-idiot-hyperactive-loud-mouth-friend. In this one episode I make an exception, though. At Graduation I was definitely Chiyo. BAWLED. I was talking about this the other day with my best friends, how I got all emotional when I wrote in their yearbooks back then, and they were all like "Dude, what?" and yeah I'm rambling but FEELS.
I think my tastes have shifted a bit since I first watched this show. When I was a kid, Sakaki was the best girl (and she still basically is, with Yomi in a strong second), HOWEVER, Ms. Yukari has definitely since become my jam. MMMMMMM Ms. Yukari!
I wish there had been a follow up, like an episode set a year or two after to see how the girls are getting on, but well, I guess that's that. Next non-mecha show I'm watching will be SLAYERS, so we'll see how that goes. I've never made it past like, NEXT or TRY, I don't remember.

Yep, this is a shoujo about a talking kugidog.

Well, he kind of is for the purpose of the series unless the students plan on shagging the janitor. I guess I could get back to watching the series.
I'd move Chifune to the top. Otherwise, I'd agree. Cecilia is the reason I didn't finish the series.
On second thought, rewatching Maou does seem like a better choice than completing IS.

This was something straight out of The Walking Dead. Keita and Hinoki go to investigate some building and the rest of the crew is infected with a chemical that makes you want to eat flesh. Kaede and Sho escape because Sho is 100% grade A badass, and then some cryptic dialogue occurs. Oh and I guess Keita tried to rape Hinoki in the woods. COMEDY.

Looking at the clean scans for Kill La Kill, I clearly messed up the synopsis really badly yesterday. Ryuuko is the 17 year old transfer student, not Satsuki. Satsuki is one year older (18) and the student council president at the school where power overcomes all. She controls everyone with her might because her uniform gives her the power of conquest. Ryuuko transfers to the school because she's on a journey looking for the owner of the other half of her giant scissors-sword thing, so she can take revenge for something in her past.
Its interesting. I always found her fine, whereas I didn't like miss China and found Charlotte totally meh. I'm obviously in the minority, especially on that last point.
The Vision of Escaflowne 17
Dude, Beautiful Sephiroth's father's explanation was pretty terrible. "I left your mother to die of loneliness and abandoned you to a lifetime of bitterness because I married your mother and had you and your sister out of duty. But I swear I loved your mother! I just abandoned her because I only married her out of duty and all!"
Which was it, dude? Did you or did you not love your family?
At least Balgus' ghost was straightforward: "fight war to be free of war!" DAMMIT ANIME THIS NEVER WORKS.
Okay, so at least Hitomi's gramma wasn't crazy.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. WOW WHAT A LOAD OF BULL. AHAHAHAHAHA. That's so completely, totally, and hilariously unnecessarily melodramatic.
has to be the sloppiest move he has EVER made.
I mean instead of cleaning this mess up, he's just made a HUGE red flag. People ARE GOING TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS. I cannot think of a good reason for it beyond bullshit melodrama, because that's what the end of this episode amounts to. There was no good reason for it beyond that. What a damned either way situation the writers got themselves into there. It would've been shit to hit the reset button and just go back to the way things were, although it would've been a hell of a lot better than this ridiculous
He could've killed her, but that's basically what he did here anyway.
It's a huge and stupid mess and if it doesn't come back to bite Lelouch in the ass I'll be pretty disappointed. Shame, too, because things were going pretty well in this show until now.

Why erase ALL of them? Why not JUST erase the ones pertaining to you know, the past few days?
"you don't remember YOUR ENTIRE LIFE."

Well, it aired on a prime time slot in Japan.
I may not be remembering correctly, but I'm pretty sure that
he only erased all her memories relating to him, instead of turning her into a complete amnesiac.
I mean, I guess you'll see for yourself next episode.
Either way, though, it was a sloppy and careless move. All he needed to do was go
You will never remember or know that I am Zero.
