I dropped the show because of her. She was that annoying just by herself.
Under the news section on the official Valvrave website there's an entry made on May 10th about some special event that will be held on September 29th with some of the voice cast attending as well as the shows musical talent such as T.M.Revolution x Nana Mizuki and angela.
The funny part is the ticket prices are listed as 6,666円. Haha.

ED 2 singer (ELISA) wont be there?
It suffers from being handled badly overall. I seem to recall the male lead behaved slightly different in the manga and it has yet another horrific childhood friend as per the standard. It had some nice-ish ideas but felt like a rush job.
Still, I liked the OP and ED tracks but that's down to my own terrible taste in music.
Are you sure you aren't talking about 2001 : A Space Odyssey?
Because Honneamise isn't that good.

Technically this was the finale, since the next episode is a recap. I'm not sure what to think of this series yet, so I will leave the analysis for after that. Regardless, it was always gonna be difficult to follow up on
, so I'm not surprised I'm left with a bit of an empty feeling. Also, Queen Beryl was a much more menacing villain than
. Anyway, that's for later.
Real talk: these moments wouldn't be as touching without the silly comedy episodes beforehand. If there's one thing Sailor Moon does well is flesh out its characters (save Ami cause Ami sucks) throughout all the filler episodes. I also loved this shot at the end. Great way to bookend this arc with the OP.
And thus the world was saved by the power of the second Dragon Ball Z Broly movie.

all the Sailor Soldiers dying and Sato giving everyone amnesia

Oh yeah and didn't the Merry director end up apologizing publicly for doing such a shitty adaptation? I seem to recall something like that.
Not to mention that whole deal with the mangaka of the Fractale manga tweeting or something that she wanted to kill herself if she had to keep working on it which prompted Yamakan to step in.

Of course the manga setting & characters were much better.
BUt on his own the anime is "alright" ( except the ending ) i thought it was ok "fillers" moments.
I also think that the overall product would have been better if they followed the manga from the start and i have no idea why they didn't.

Why the hell does she love frogs so much ?
Anyway.
They spend most of their time introducing concepts that will be used later and the other half was used to prepare for the inevitable encounter.
Episode was alright. The anime does add/removes scenes a lot to "even" the pacing ..it works so far but they should be carefull to not add too much.
And do they prepare for the next filler arc already ?
You know, I'm weeks behind on anime watching, and probably won't catch up on anything, but just hearing Kanno play Voices on the piano for about five seconds in that clip makes me glad I continue to be an anime fan.
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 44
So stuff finally starts happening. Haman Khan triple crosses everyone, Jared gets humiliated by Kamile AGAIN because Jared will NEVER be allowed to win. The Zeta is freaking awesome. Katz makes good points by pointing out that Char Aznable and Bright Noa working with the Zabi family is just plain wrong. Kamile beats the crap out of Sarah, and Katz gives her a talking to, too.
And everyone keeps loving Sriracha, in spite of the fact that he's still Sriracha, and easily the slimiest, creepiest slimy creepy slimeball in the history of Gundam.

Entirely accurate.
I forgot to mention that "Pink Amigo" is the most suggestive hero name of all time, even if grammatically incorrect.
Fight the power.
They act pretty close, so I suspect it's just because they're super casual with one another

I DON'T UNDERSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!
Okay, so, uh, the stuff in the Ajanta caves happened and everyone in Hinoki's family died, meanwhile Mode Warp was conducting an experiment in the Andes and the Betterman called Lamia who LOOKED JUST LIKE HINOKI'S BROTHER BUT WAS NOT HIM got killed during it in an attempt to put down the Best Man Konkol. Flash forward x number of years after the events of GaoGaiGar and all the stuff here in Betterman and now that sage guy, Podaiju or whatever, is back and needs to be killed, oh and I guess Akamatsu is MIA, Asami is talking with the head of N.E.O. who was part of the experiment in the Andes with her, and Mamon and Umezaki (of Superhuman Inc and BPL respectively) and now Mamon has gone from being a paper Brahman to a flower, and Konkol is back and I guess Linker Gel is a life form different from a Prokaryote or Eukaryote and who knows where Sakura is and I think Kaede contracted Algernon and blew up Unagi with her and then Keita did a Synapse attack but oh I don't know.

You know, recap episodes would be a lot more palatable if they had the main cast bickering over the footage. I knew I could trust Ikuhara in delivering yet another revolutionary recap episode.

I liked season one a lot more. The"filler" episodes didn't feel as constricted by the formula, something which R suffered a lot of during the build-up of the Crystal Tokio arc. Season one just seemed a lot looser with how it approached the monster of the week, resulting in hilarious episodes such as the Luna one. There were a few flashes of brilliance in R, but they were also accompanied by some really bad art all around. I wonder if the movie's production is to blame for this.
I've already voiced my opinions on the villains of this season a lot, but I think it's fair to say
.
So, that's that. It's still Sailor Moon, and that's a good thing in itself. My grievances with this season are minor, and I really enjoyed this for dat Sailor Chemistry. It's definitely a flawed series, however. Three out of five Luna-Ps.
p.s. OH HEY IT'S MAD PIERROT'S AVATAR
Showing all four OPs at the same time only highlights how you stopped trying after OP2, Toei. Also the fact that you've used the same song for nearly ninety episodes. >_<

Chibi-Usa turning evil was a great choice even if they managed to spoil it anyway. :/ I really liked her short stint as the antagonist, and it managed to make the finale a bit more personal over just saving the world again. Something which, as I said before, was going to pale in comparison with the massacre of the first season

Tomorrow. I need to mentally prepare myself for Ikuhara.
Don't hate the messenger.
I bet you were one of the nerds in school.
I'm sorry, but you are just not as pure for me.
Ami is the choice for DWEEBS.
By the way, if you're tired of all the faux-incest shows and need something more... substantial, Media Blasters finally solicited the Aki Sora OVAs up on Right Stuf for a stealth release next week.

That delicious cuckold.
Sorry for the late reply, was taking a nap. :lol
Yeah, kept my impressions short as I was tired as hell but I should've made mention of the bath scene. Too bad there wasn't any groping action.
I love dem jiggles.

This was decent enough of a softcore hentai,
especially that one pseudo-futanari scene in episode 2
I totally forgot that. Escaflowne is so good.

Well that was pretty damn generic shonen anime and yet I watched all those episodes in a week. Damn me. I am an animeholic. Current Railgun S is showing most promise though.

Still am. :/
I can't wrap my brain around it. It's just so completely crazy, so utterly bizarre, so wholly anime that I'm just beyond my capacity to understand it. I mean Alan is sitting there all "Maybe wanting to sleep with Hitomi was just because she reminded me of my little sister," and then we saw in that other episode the lady in the garden and I thought nothing of it, then she shows up in Asteria, and LO AND BEHOLD,
ALAN'S LITTLE SISTER IS LORD DULANDAU.
Escaflowne is an amazing show.

The OP is awesome at least.
They're listed as being there as well actually.
Hurray! Releases I actually would buy if I had money! Especially Haganai and Future Diary.

Its been a terrible day for me mentally. Nearly had quite a big breakdown. Hopefully a good rest tonight helps, and I can relax and watch some anime tomorrow.
Code Geass 21
Lelouch's plan is basically coming entirely undone by the power of love. And also because he has been careless and sloppy as hell ever since that business with Mao awhile back. Now Euphemia has basically managed to secure from Schneizel (not the Pokemon), the 2nd Prince (which, as I understand, means there is someone between him and the King who is 1st in line for the Throne) to open up an area where Japanese are restored their rights.
In other words, Lelouch's Rebellion has been beautifully coopted and undermined by simple social reform. Whether you wish to chalk this up to Euphemia or Schneizel, it should be apparent now that Lelouch, for as cunning as he initially seemed has been outplayed in the game of thrones this turn.
Also, Suzaku and Euphemia are an adorable couple and my preferred characters over Lelouch and, I dunno, Pizza Hut?
Oh, and did they just imply that the Earl was gay to his fiance? Isn't that unwise to do before the wedding? Or does "He simply feels no attraction at all to women" really mean "He only likes giant robots." and isn't having a gay mechanic who is allegedly sexually attracted to the machines he builds kind of a cliche at this point in mecha history?

Ami's not even a nerd; she's just a boring academic who strives for perfection in school because she's terrible at everything else in life and wouldn't have an identity otherwise. Bottom of the loser food chain.
