Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 43
WHAT AN EPISODE WHERE BOTH FA AND KATZ ACT LIKE IDIOTS AND STEAL MOBILE SUITS, RUINING AN OPERATION? WHY I AM SURPRISED THAT SUCH AN ORIGINAL PLOT LINE IS BEING USED FOR THE FIFTEENTH TIME IN THIS SHOW.
Oh God, 6 more episodes of this. I bet there isn't even an ending to this show, just a random episode where a girl falls in love with Kamile and dies, Char mopes about Amuro and Lalah, Fa and Katz steal mobile suits, Jared gets beat up and who even cares.
The penultimate episode is probably a clip show.
So disappointed in this show.

The World God Only Knows' 3rd Season to Cover Goddesses Arc
Yay for them not wasting time. It's probably going to be quite condensed though or something.

If they skip Sumire then I'm gonna be fuckin livid.

I don't even care, should be 12 episodes of Yui.

Why am I not surprised that there's
As lewd (and true) as it sounds, seems like its going to be the most OP obstacle for Annelotte and the gang to deal with in future episodes.
More importantly I really want to know what the hell is up with
is really biting me. :lol
Why am I not surprised that there's
vibrator battle armor.
More importantly I really want to know what the hell is up with
Claudette and the rest of the QB verterans. They're so cold and heartless, manipulating and bullying people into doing their bidding. The fact that I'm starting to hate Elina, Claudette and Ymir (not such much her)

Went back over my old impressions and it seems I liked it overall better than I remember. Well, aside from episode 3:
I do hope more check it out though.
Oh please :lol

Ojamajo Doremi 3
MEET KANSAI GIRL
Who is initially depicted as an asshole/genki girl (I think)! She's good at many things except smarts. She gets some details of her life though since this is her episode.
Her dad's a taxi driver, and makes some bomb ass takoyaki (really would like to try freshly made takoyaki instead of frozen takoyaki) and she lacks a mom because of fighting.
DIVORCE ISSUES! Because fuck your demograph!
Probably one of Doremi's more thoughtful (and yet not thought out well) ideas, but we get some development between the family as well. I thought these girls would become witches in these episodes, but it looks like it'll happen on episode 4! Maybe Doremi will become more compe-pffthahaahahaaaa

Wow, I was gone long enough to miss two of Syrinx's Madoka impression posts? Man, where does the time go?
You're defending his rationale for
Where was all that sympathy before?! Bah!
You're defending his rationale for
using soul gems but that doesn't address him withholding this information which is the real shocking part. It's worse than not being upfront about it, Kyubey intentionally pulled a bait and switch. Would you become a magical girl if you knew it would turn you into a lich? Because that's what you become when you're immortal in exchange for your soul being tied to an object. And if you were given the information they were would you really see that coming? After all the lives being changed forever bit was always tied to the duty and danger of fighting witches and nothing else. I'm a pretty heartless bastard and play devil's advocate in a lot of things but you really can't sympathize with unwittingly being turned undead? At least feel sorry for Sayaka when Kyubey was torturing her to prove a point. Mascot on girl domestic violence ain't exactly pretty!

Listen to that glorious undiluted kansai accent.

Episodes 170-182
Well shit, never thought I would warm up to Eneru so easily. Thought he was just some fake God asshole that was using dials and shit to show off his power. But when he fucked up that Shandorian warrior w/the glasses using his lightning powers, I was like "Goddamn." And of course he basically bodied some of the fodder that was elsewhere, and I was like "Yeah, this guy is pretty fucking awesome. Smug, but still awesome." Then he took care of that lame ass Laki *thumbs up*. And then he made Zoro, Wyper, Gan Fall and Robin (who is still a waste of space IMO) his bitches like it was nothing (Wyper came close with sea stone reject dial but it was pretty obvious that shit wasn't gonna work).
Too bad he now has to deal with a certain clueless, pissed off rubber man. I think Eneru's reaction says it best:
(from the manga but you get the idea)
Of course it's fair to say the fight between Luffy and Eneru won't be a quick one. I think it will last up to 3 episodes minimum.
And there's still the matter of stopping Eneru's overall plan of making Skypiea fall from the sky itself. To be completely honest, I'm more interested in the well being of the people on Angel Island than the people of Shandora. Never really cared about the Shandorians and their struggles. Guess I'm just that cruel. If they get their land back, I'll just be "meh". But Skypiea must not fall!

Just 4 more DVDs and 1 subbed episode to go through and then I'll be all done.

NOOOOOO!! Don't love him, Hitomi! Alan is a controlling, manipulative, jerkass!! He may be Beautiful, but he's still Sephiroth!! He has a son he never supported!
AAHAHAHAHAHA DULANDAU'S NEW UNDERLING IS DOG ALUCARD. BAHAHAHAHAHA.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Except he didn't knock up your older sister before you met him, Princess! That doesn't make any sense! He's just a creep!

It's as good a time as any to catch up with the manga.
The world could use more people as kind as Sleepy is.
Yeah, Daizaburo's a massive knob. At least Sleepy took the high road and
chased away the reporter he was crushing on knowing she'd only get hurt in the long run thanks to his dangerous line of work.

I was on the fence so far but this episode pretty much seals it, pink is the best one. Sorry purple but your lack of punchlines lately ain't cutting it.
Aiura 6
Teacher continues to be the best character.

Nah, I think they'll show the rest of the goddess captures then finish off with 3-4 episodes on the Namek section.
Namek was like... 114-189...

Also, we were finally introduced to the character shown above, Branwen. Kinda irks me that an awesome looking character like her is resorted to

1. HAHAHA, of course Lelouch's incredibly sloppy job with Shirley would fall apart because she'd written herself a note beforehand. I mean, REALLY.
2. HAHAHA, the cops beat the crap out of little racist girl. Police brutality of which I approve.
3. Suzaku is still better than Zero will ever be, and he doesn't even have super powers.
4. That's right, little racist girl, there's nothing good about you. At all. And you're ugly. That's right. You're right to hate yourself, you little racist.
5. "I hereby command you to love me!" DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW

In Gunbuster it was an initially small but increasingly significant part of the setting and the story as the show progressed, while in Evangelion 3.33 it's probably meant to be understood as some sort of meta-commentary in order to mock the audience's interests rather than serve the actual narrative in any interesting or useful way (pending the final movie). Which does appear to come across as too forced and unnatural in practice from what I'm hearing about it.
I'd easily agree on a personal level. Otherwise...I guess it's true for the Rebuild films, at least.

Ojamajo Doremi 4
CUZ WE'RE ALL OJAMAJOS
I'm not sure why Doremi thought it was smart to just up and expose herself to her friends like that, but now she has witch friends and the opening makes more sense now! This was isn't as dark or screw the demograph like the previous episodes, I'm almost curious to see how 4kids butchered it.
Seems Kansai-chan managed to be able to fly her broom out of everyone despite never being taught about it.
Oh god damn, Kansai is scaaaaary, don't mess with this Ojamajo!
Other notes: Haven't said this before, but the idea of having limited magic spheres for your magic seems like a neat concept, and I wonder if it'll play for strategy in later episodes (although this is a "kids" show).
Witch world appears for the first time, nothing too indepth but it's kinda cool. Everyone does what they want to do, fuck the magic frog!

Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid 7
This episode begins with a confrontation between Sousuke and Wraith. When last we saw Sagara, he was FREAKING OUT and he's not much better in this scene. The confrontation quickly becomes an indictment of Sousuke's character, though, as Wraith lays it out for him (and the audience) exactly why characters like Sousuke are the pits (his antics put Kaname in more danger than they keep her out of, he's a failure at adapting to society, he wants to have the best of both carefree high school life and mercenary action hero when he's bored, he always obeys orders but now that it doesn't suit him he doesn't want to, etc, etc, etc.) Wraith REALLY rips him apart, and the worst is that, since Mao's said most of this to Sousuke recently, most of it is true, and fair.
The rest of the episode is Kaname's day. It begins cheerily enough, since she's still a buzz about the haircut from yesterday, but not seeing Sousuke at all makes her less perky. She decides to have a Girl's Night to forget about Sousuke, though, and is intent on her plan until she bumps into one of the assassin sisters on the street, which causes her to have a panic attack, and, deprived of Sousuke, this only gets worse and worse as the episode continues. This is a set-up for one of the best lines to come in the show, but why spoil it now. Seeing Kaname react to danger without Sousuke is some good character development.

Slayers 6
There's a part where Lina and Zelgadis are on the run and she crashes into a tree and turns to the camera and just says, "Koala." It's funnier to see than read about.
And Zelgadis says Rezzo is his grandfather and his great grandfather. This means that Rezzo either gave birth to himself, married his mother, or married his daughter. No matter what it is weird.
And poor Noonsa got gobbled up. We'll miss you, Noonsa.

crazy attacks (look at all dat symbolism)
P.S. This is why I've stopped trying with Toei shows. Not even avoiding next episode previews helps.
in Evangelion 3.33 is not bad by itself. Taking the story of Shinji and having to adjust himself to
could have been a compelling story had Anno actually bothered to fucking revise the script.
This episode has got me covered in both the :sdburton and :dtl fronts, although it takes a previously :sdburton character and sullies her garden.
Sexy-Usa is amazing. I wish she didn't go back to her normal form after this, or that if she does she at least retains her penchant for
when she inevitably becomes a Sailor Scout Senshi.

I wanna remain not-cynical and believe Anno genuinely wanted to tell something new with this material instead of just LOL I TROLLED YOU AGAIN. The

Omamori Himari 4
ITS A HAREM SURPRISE!
Oh boy, I left this one on hold for a while, and figured I watch this because I'm tired and probably wouldn't watch it at any other time. This is a supernatural harem with action basically, which i picked up because it was an adaptation of something I read years ago, but it wasn't finished back then.
Anyway, typical harem lead, dudes a pacifistic demon slayer, and everyone wants the D/D, Dead or Dick. Have a feeling that watching harem based shows might be harder for me, even though I binged this stuff like a few months ago when I was getting back in the groove of things.
Anyway, hurting Yuto pisses off his guardian into becoming a Super Saiyan, Childhood Friend gets screwed over, Water Loli wants to observe his nature (and was under his covers). YEP this is a harem.

The best episode in the entire series is when Amuro's Gundam fights the Gouf. From that moment on I knew that Goufs were the greatest mook mecha in the forever.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG. The Eldora 5 reminded me of Power Rangers AND Gao Gai Gar, and the feels collided as the awesome exploded and old man heroic courage battles and returnings from the dead and SO AWESOME SYNTAX FAILURE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Maybe I was <3
No it came later, after the show drove us even more nuts. It delayed at the worst possible moment which built anticipation up to a head, and then the show actually delivered.
If you want another example of how awful that situation is, perhaps THE textbook example of how fucked up it gets, watch Saikano.
This show went all sorts of directions and dragged Satou into very uncomfortable and embarrassing but realistic situations. NHK is so good.
She is ADORABLE.
Nanoha As - 13 END
So that was Nanoha As. My final thoughts:
Pretty much that. What a wonderful, heartwarming show. It had a brilliant final act.
First off, at:Reinforce
I don't know how they did it, but they were able to give a BOOK character. The conflict that was going on throughout the entire show was very well done and had me on the edge of my seat. I really liked the fact that there was no real villain in the show. Almost every other anime I watched had some other asshole who was responsible for the shit the characters went through. Here however, the characters have very good reasonable motivations that actually makes them HUMAN. The whole scenario where these Guardians desperately try to save Hayate's life is very saddening and actually sort of puts our heroes in a negative light of some sorts, but that's because they didn't actually talk it out instead of fight.
The climax is wonderful seeing all these characters go for one massive rush against the program that was the source of it all.
I really don't know what else to say, I just loved it. Time to give this franchise a break though before I go on to StrikerS. Cause I have some other anime to watch.
First one is more or less an apology to those who were offended when I said I didn't like the show because of the 4kids DUB:
All right folks. I'll give the subbed version a shot and see how it goes. But alternatively:
When I saw the plot description for this, I thought to myself; "Wow this looks hilarious." It was apparently good enough to warrant a crossover with DBZ and One Piece, but I just want to hear AnimeGAF's consensus on it.
All in all, thanks to those who told me to keep going with Nanoha, cause I didn't leave disappointed. See ya next time.
Nanoha A's was a miracle. Strikers just overstays its welcome.
I approve of YOUR avatar.
Also, was it you that posted the Aiura title gif, cause I want that again. Its sooooo cute!
I was certain I had it saved on my phone but I cant find it ;_;
This....isn't a bad idea actually. But we don't know what yall look like!

That's actually quite disappointing. The goddess arc was pretty much where the manga lost me due to its slow pacing compared to everything from before and the lack of new captures. I wanted an animated version of the other capture arcs...
