A catgirl voiced by Rie Tanaka too? Holy shit this seems ridiculous, which is usually synonymous with entertaining. Will put on the immediate backlog if I'm not too nekomimi'd out.

Tybalt is so fucking cliche as a character archetype (broody, dark, badass). His backstory
is interesting, but coupled with his character is so just so bad.
And fucking Prince "I'm a dick. Don't ask questions. I just am." Montegue is
I don't think I totally understand why
And Juliet can bring herself to kill him now apparently.

part Capulet? SMFH. and he's got poor me issues so that's why he killed and schemed his way up makes sense though.
he got all pissed off and killed Mercusio's dad though.
Monogatari Series Second Season site update, with new key visual and song info:
Ending theme is "Ai wo Utae" by Luna Haruna.

The art is kind of meh 90's but it has an army of catgirls singing on a bus.
I think I died during that scene.
Whaaaaaaaaat?! My Kanbaru got rid of her sexy short hair for a twintailed look? I don't know how I feel about this.

All right, that was definitely...something else. I mean, we get a touching moment between Sousuke and Chidori and then we get....that.
Chidori's backstory is probably going to be something either really cool or really scary.

I have decided to watch Utena first before watching any of my other anime. If only because a girl I dated loved Utena, so if I ever date another girl who also loved Utena, I shall be able to discuss it with her (and because Anime-Gaf overwhelming praise of it)! I shall attempt to write my impressions on every episode.

Maybe because it's so small but I'm seeing more long flowing hair than twin tails, long or short though she's rocking the look pretty well to me. Which is weird because in real life I'm usually such a sucker for the short haired girls.
Oh man, so good to hear that animeGAF is all about the Kanbaru. I don't own any anime figures but if I did she would be one of my first. How can you not love seeing her on that throne of BL?
I wonder if there are any doujin featuring her and Y from Humanity Has Declined, just think of all the antics and hilarity! Man I should get around to learning to draw.
Mysterious Girlfriend X 12
Urabe is off with her aim for the first time, because she had a filthy dirty dream involving her and Tsubaki. So she cuts his forehead and feels real bad and brings him to her place and stuff gets awkward and such.
Oh and Tsubaki has a naughty dream of his own.

Bobby's In Deep / Bobby's Girl -
So I picked this up on a whim after seeing it be mentioned on a listing for a Dash Shaw show. Goes to show that good anime can be found anywhere, I suppose. Were it not for Aku no Hana this would be the best thing I've seen in the last week or so, although it's not perfect, by all means. It's a weird little mix of motorcycle porn/insert songs/teenage aimlessness.
The story follows Bobby, a listless highschool dropout who gives no indication of ambition or desire throughout its runtime--we see him drop out of school, leave his parents, and find a job; and that's about the extent of the story. There's constant narration from a girl who writes him letters after seeing his photos in a motorcycle magazine, but it (like many other things) doesn't go anywhere, outside of framing Bobby's initial flight and his last ride. Peppered with weird, cheesy music-videos/montages of 80's japanese pop (I guess it was made in part as a vehicle for some burgeoning jpop star), the movie has a surreal edge to it, a potpourri of disparate visual styles all mixing about as Bobby himself slowly moves forward through the narrative.
For forty-plus minutes of runtime, it's not a story that states anything, nor does anything truly conclude--even Bobby's last death-ride is only hinted at, though it seems obvious enough given the visual cues. Underneath the hazy inconsistency of Bobby's rides are insinuations of criminal wealth and a sense that he's lurching forward into some grimmer fate--and yet even this is acknowledged, barely so, with a distant stare and silence. It's actually quite attractive in that way; what seems insubstantial could then be allusive, or perhaps nothing was really there. Either way, it seems to mirror Bobby's own confusion and uncertainty about how he wants to handle his life.
---
What makes it shine is the ending sequence, though. Even if you never watch the whole thing, at least watch the five minutes or so of how the movie wraps up. Light research seems to indicate that Koji Morimoto was among those responsible.
Basically, I liked it.

I'm going to have to agree with this, Kanbaru does that hair style well and I'm a huge supporter of short hair. The same can only be sometimes said when long haired girls go short hair.
They're both even voiced by Miyukichi.
Kanbaru is pretty great but she aint Senjou.
if senjou didnt exist I would let her and Tsubasa duke it out for my heart.

Team short hair! It's the best hair!
EDIT:
THE FUCK IS THIS!? THE FUCK IS THAT!? I don't give a fuck about keeping the long:short hair ratio among the cast balanced. That shit needs to be cut ASAP!
It's not my fault the faces look alike.

Moretsu Pirates - 26 [END]
That was quite a ride. Started off a bit slow at first but sure enough it got into that piratey goodness that I was hoping for. And yuri! A show that not only had lesbians, but ones that were relevant to the story itself! I wished Chiaki would've loosened up a bit more around Marika near the end, but what can I say: she likes to tsun. It was fairly obvious that
Oh and for best friend/side characters, Mami was awesome.
8 SDBurtons out of 10.

I can get behind that. (nsfw)

Ironbeard is Marika's father, I was just bummed that he didn't reveal his identity to her. Possible it may occur in a new season perhaps?

How did I go so long without noticing this? It sounds so obvious in retrospect.
Nah, there really aren't any bad choices in the entire show outside of the side characters. Who would ever pick Yotsugi over any of the main girls? Why would anyone choose Kaiki over Meme or Ararararagi? Come to think of it Nise introduced all the weakest characters so far. :/

Hm, that was amusing. A little funny at times but at 3 minutes per episode, I could stick with it.
