Way late on this one, but I have totally had that problem in the past. Darn words have to be so similar...

On a Precure note, I expect to finish Smile within a month or so, and I've got no clue what one to watch next. I've already watched Heartcatch.

Well.... if you haven't watch Splash Star, I'd give that one a shot. It's criminally underrated in so many ways.

Hataraku Maou-sama 1

Ending: Nope.

Great episode. Loved everything about it from how the action scenes were handled in the beginning to Maou's and Alsiel's first experience at being in our world. Those two pratically made the entire episode with their various interactions to everything around them. Maou himself, I enjoyed his personality with how he's so dedicated about working at MgRonalds that he was willing to use his remaining magic and I like his positive attitude he showed when encouraging Chi. Alsiel was my favorite throughout because of his outbursts, especially when he Maou were trying to find a home.

The "rage" about Free! is completely manufactured; mostly rusemans trying to stir up shit. The only annoying thing is the American fandom trying to take credit for its existence.

Its really rather great. Hilarious.
Surprise show of the season.

For the record L-Elf is still my second least liked character in Valvrave. The most awful character in the show is Q-Vier. Can't stand that guy.
 
Because of the .gif

Makes sense.

Should probably get around to watching a bit of Jewel Pet Happiness or whatever the latest one is. Kinda lazy though.

Splash star is a great season ..i'm tired to say to people to watch it ..As it got plenty of things right.

My man!

Anyway, I have a buddy that got into Precure because I was marathoning the shit out of it (in order no less), and I gave him the option to go to Max Heart or Pick one of his choosing, and he asked me for the pros and cons of these decisions.

I had a very hard time trying to make cons for Splash Star. I think that made me realize how much I liked that series.

I was watching a bit of Inu X boku SS on bluray, in particular the ending Sweets Parade. HNNNNNNGH. I love that ED so much!
Lifes greatest pleasures are often the simplest things.

I do have to warn people that it being a Sentai release, the quality of the picture is TERRIBLE. Not that it bothers me particularly, but its extremely obvious.

I used to think you were cool Cajun

So sorry.

Inu x Boku is a wonderful show, I think it needs a rewatch soon.

Also Cajun,
since Soushi can turn into a woman voiced by Miyukichi, does that make him the best girl?

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I saw you first at your place of work.
Your earnestness, twin tails and heaving bosom
Captured my heart, thus I gave you my love.
I rooted for you, though I knew that chance
Would favor the other girl, that vile temptress,
Base pandering tsundere. Yet I had hope.

When your eyes fell on the king, your hope
Was as mine. Even though romance at work
Is a dangerous game, like a temptress,
luring you with glimpses of flesh and bosom,
You forged ahead, wagering on chance.
There is nothing more pure than a girl in love.

And when you gave freely of your love
I thought to myself: "This is hope"
Something so rare that there was chance
For true love to prevail, that things will work.
That feeling was held tight against my bosom,
Even though it was a temptress.

I dreaded the day when the temptress,
Would ruin your quest for love
And rip your heart from your bosom
And mine as well, cast them down along with hope.
I wish I knew then that this couldn't work.
Only a fool trusts in chance.

Then came your first-and last-chance
To gain his heart before the temptress
Could unleash her wiles, her dark work
To overthrow justice and steal his love.
Is it a pointless endeavor to hope?
I'm done with love; a dagger in my bosom.

The green patchwork covering your bosom,
your ribbons and boots all spoke of chance,
For a moment I was filled with hope
That you would triump over fate, the temptress,
That the king would return your love
That, at the end, everything would work.

But there was no hope, not against that temptress
A shattered bosom is all you can expect from chance.
I'm sorry my love, I thought it would work.

Karuta is my favorite. Kana is very hard to top. Even by Miyukichi.

I'm not cultured enough to know where that passage is from, but its very good.
 
Valvrave the Liberator #3 ERU-ERUERUF of the Rebelion.




Can this show get any better? ERU-ERUERUF is like the perfectly generally engineered child of Lelouch and Spinzaku.

L-elf has to definitely be starting to be at top of the genre tier in terms of epic characters of anime, the whole episode three even.

Will of course render a longer post on the episode later.

Splash Star isn't quite as good if you've seen Futari wa beforehand because Saki and Mai are ostensibly replacements for the too-old-for-little-girls-to-identify-with-according-to-toei Nagisa and Honoka and they compare somewhat unfavorably in terms of chemistry, but in a vacuum it's a very solid series and does some things better than its predecessor.

Makes me wish that Toei would take a chance on another "duo"-format season someday, but sadly, more Cures = more toys = more yenz. (unless you're Dokidoki, lol)

Wow... somehow, when I was looking through the seasons I managed to pass Splash Star completely by. I think when looking through I confused it with Max Heart.

And this is why Splash Star was treated like shit by the fanbase to the point that it doesn't even exist to them.

I'm still a Cajun bro. Oddly enough when I feel like slacking off work, I think of how hard working Cajun is.

Cajun is my el presidente.

<3

I cant really slack off at work because of the nature of the job. Drivers call in when they have an issue, and I have to respond. I do have some quiet moments when things are going smoothly so maybe that counts...

In the recent Precure popularity poll, Cure Rouge/Rin from Yes 5 was the only girl less popular than Mai and Saki.

How can something so sad be so beautiful?

That's just amazing, Haly. #TeamChiho for life.

This is beautifully tragic. But we still have nine more episodes, never give up hope #TeamChiho!

Saving best girl for last as you will be too invested to drop by then.

Nippon knows me far too well. And they'll just keep doing it more and more as time goes on, like having a Miyukichi girl appear last.
