Dance was lewd as hell and full of QUALITY, buttthe rumps were nice. Good episode overall, just more Ledo adapting into Gargantia.
HEY I'M RUMP
I'M NOT SO RUMP

Helga Pataki is the best tsundere anyway.
First mechs with capes now this? Why am I not watching this?
I hate how tsundere girls have a much higher chance of winning in romance anime. Many a best girl has been slain by this tiresome character type.
Why are her shoulders blushing?
You can't see that the sword that should be stabbing the material behind them is layered in front of them? It's going into the man in green's shoulder and through the shirt collar of the other man. Now just don't go getting all embarrassed for missing this and full-stopping your posts as a result.
Didn't Discotek recently announce that they're doing Unico BDs for the US as well in the near future?
Looks like my fears were wrong; Fantasista Doll isn't Busou Shiki but rather Angelic Layer. The robots are controlled by a cute 14-year-old girl so there won't be any straightshit harem action!
Picked up.
In other news. I got some pickups.

Nanoha - 12
NANOHA! WHILE SHE'S CHARGING HER THUNDER...SMASH, USE YOUR BUSTER! OF DIVINITY!
Finally Fate realizes who she's been all along and is ready to join the fight against Lady Sephiroth! Finally, a moment in this show where I actually felt EXCITEMENT. Everything else was more...I don't know soft and nothing really got my blood pumping. But that song when she joined the fray...sogood.jpg.
Lol at the Admin's proclamation against Lady Sephiroth. That pose she was in and the words she spoke reminded me of a proclamation a certain other anime character made...but I won't say who.
And we have everyone ready for the final battle...and Lady Sephiroth practically commits suicide. Well shit. There goes my hopes for an epic rage moment, but I guess I can be hopeful for the last episode and As.
Nanoha -13 END
And so the journey of Nanoha comes to and end. Madoka Magica Spoilers inside as well.
Still a bit disappointed that there wasn't an epic final battle scene with Lady Sephiroth, but perhaps I'll see something even more epic in the As.
Damn it, this episode still knows how to poke at your feels even with all the "It's okay, they'll see each other again!" information.
Aww, Nanoha and Fate gave each other their hair ribbons as a token of their friendship! Wouldn't it be bad if another anime did the exact same thing with their characters? Now I really see where Madoka and Nanoha comparisons came from.
All in all, I thought is good. Nice, touching, heartwarming, and overall, just a good pleasure to watch. Next up, time for the awesomeness that AnimeGAF says breaks all barriers of epicness!

Amy should switch profession.
Well Ultimate Madoka is the only Madoka figure I have and I mostly got her because I thought the figurine looked good (and Cajun semi twisted my arm). Also the Haruka Cu-poche is the first figurine I've seen of her that looks half decent.
That and I was expecting to get a third figurine this month so I was keeping my budget in check, but it was delayed.![]()
Only in Full Metal Panic does the tsundere Kaname beat out the more overt Cpt. Tessa.
Arnold is original wideface.

Gargantia 6
Such a sweet episode. Succulent too. If you get my drift.
Also it further pushes the point that both Akane and Nao are very similar, except Akane has a gorilla fetish I guess.
I don't find male-gaze camera work to be particularly shocking or distracting, but I was surprised by unabashed fanservice of both the dance costumes and the dancing scenes. Without much explanation at all Amy and her friends dress up in extremely risqué Arabian inspired outfits and do a sexy dance for everyone without really much explanation. I suppose it's part of the festival, or something, but they don't really try and portray it as a festive dance in praise of anything, with the camera either following the dancers breasts of their ass. I was just bothered by sleazy and unnecessary the whole sequence felt, especially as it add nothing to the story,
Now, later on there's the dance scene between Ledo and Amy. I understand that, in principle, that was supposed to be a rather sweet and beautiful movement but I couldn't help feel that there was a disconnect between Amy's sweet and wholesome manner and the obvious eroticism of her uniform and dance.

Kurumi!
So Gargantia is just fanservice now?
I have yet to see Episode 6 but Episode 5 was blatant.
Back on track, please.
Personally I think episode 6 was the best episode in the series. So much happens in this episode, duckroll is right in comparing it to something akin to a movie. A lot of sweet, enjoyable moments wrapped around the story progressing in a big time fashion on many levels.you even have a cantina scene!
This episode was the most "on track" episode of the series.
I am reading chapter 1 of the flowers of evil manga. How did they turn this nice art into the ugly anime designs? I'm just gonna check out the manga on this one.![]()

I don't think anyone was expecting any other outcome after it was revealed they got an ero-mangaka to do the character design.So Gargantia is just fanservice now?

But Sayaka has a change of heart after her brother yells at her for tormenting him with music since he has a disease that won't let him play anymore (probably MS or something), and she wishes for him to get better.

I don't have a problem with that kind of stuff in general - people can watch whatever they want - but it is annoying in a sci-fi that has a reasonably serious premise.

[Gargantia] - 6
By the standards of this series you'd probably call this an average episode, by which I mean it was enjoyable and entertaining; it was an episode filled with energy and colour. I can't really think of any obvious complaints from a visual point of view, except that the CG was fairly distracting as usual:
but they made up for it with a few really beautiful cuts of animation:
Structurally the episode is a little bit odd. It begins with Ledo asking an important question: "what do you do with money?" But then it veers straight back into "Ledo looks for work" and we never actually successfully answer the original question that was posed at the top of the story. It makes the writing seem a little bit wonky because the question of work was really posed at the start of the previous episode.
The one thing I would like to dive a little deeper into is a subject that's already been brought up by others: the fanservice elements of the episode.
I think the easiest way to describe the feelings I have about the fanservice is that suddenly I realise why most shows place their fanservice beach/hot springs/swimsuit episode slightly outside and away from the main continuity of the series. It's because they then don't have to account for the way they treat the characters in those episodes and because they're usually unconnected to everything else around them. For example, consider the Girls und Panzer OVA's, one of which is the requisite swimsuit shit. You can take all your characters and present them as objects for men to oodles in an OVA because no-one would ever take you to task on it. The only people who buy those OVA's are people who want to see the fanservice stuff. They don't need excuses or logical context for the fanservice, they just want to lap it up.
However, when you insert a fanservice episode like episode 5 into the natural flow of a series it just highlights how out of place the fanservice might be. You can switch from a fairly accessible series for everyone to something that exists purely to please the desires of those who want to see characters in various states of undress. Still, I had assumed that they were basically going to contain that approach to a single episode. However, they make it pretty clear from the start of this episode that it's all about the male gaze:
I don't find male-gaze camera work to be particularly shocking or distracting, but I was surprised by unabashed fanservice of both the dance costumes and the dancing scenes. Without much explanation at all Amy and her friends dress up in extremely risqué Arabian inspired outfits and do a sexy dance for everyone without really much explanation.

Fantastic episode. Totally makes up for that dud from last week
Kurumi was perfect, really wished she be the focus for the rest of the episodes but I know that's sadly not going to happen. Happy to see Mana as well, her niisama was really good, and I'm glad they kept Kotori's siblings can't marry line.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica 4
Oh boy this show is about to go places.
Madoka and Sayaka decide to back out on being magical girls since, you know, they just watch Mami get her head eaten. Homura is glad they did. It seems that she really regrets becoming a magical girl. She talks to Madoka about all of the people she has seen die and the tragedies that have happened. It feels like she blames herself for some of these, which I think is why she tells Madoka that her kindness could end up bringing greater tragedy.
Madoka gets herself caught up in a mass suicide ceremony involving Hitomi and gets trapped in a creepy labyrinth with merry-go-rounds and TVs laughing at her and trying to pull her apart limb from limb, to which I was all "Dude. What the fuck is going on here?" But Sayaka has a change of heart after her brother yells at her for tormenting him with music since he has a disease that won't let him play anymore (probably MS or something), and she wishes for him to get better. She's a magical girl now who saves Madoka. I guess Madoka will change her mind soon enough now, much to Homura's chagrin.
But now there's another magical girl who plans to kill Sayaka so she can take over the witch hunting in the town. Yikes, this magical girl business is serious in this show.
It's kinda funny that I'm a third of the way through this show and yet Madoka still hasn't become a magical girl yet. The focus with this show seems to be about the struggle with taking on this responsibility and the likely fate that comes with it. Being magical girls ain't fun and games in this hood.
I just want to make it clear that they're not siblings. Not too sure how that will affect how you view their relationship.
