Basically, I liked it.

You bought me. I've watched the ending cut, but I never knew it was from a forty minute short, and it seems to be good enough as well.


This part itself is fucking fantastic, context aside. It was revealed (?) not so long ago that it was animated by Takashi Nakamura.

Great stuff.

See this is the response I was looking for.
You'll probably be disappointed at the start next episode though

Your reaction at the end of this season will be fucking glorious, do not disappoint me.

I live to disappoint, though.

They do look very chinese. I actually took them as such when I watched it.
kind of ambiguous though.
and 'dledum is a crazy cool name.

Tweedle Dee and especially Tweedle Dum are not cool names, but I will concede that they are crazy.

Why is Corvosol ignoring me? :(

I'm legitimately curious.

I didn't know I was? Point me to what I need to address, good sir.

Full Metal Panic! - 6

15 minutes in.

Full Metal Panic! - 6

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.

Refresh my memory, cuz I don't have it memorized on an episode by episode basis. What happened here? And interestingly, at least where I am in the manga,
Chidori's backstory is never really expounded on.

Slayers 15

Lina Inverse is so hardcore that when a guy proposes to her, she grabs the back of his head and shoves his face into the campfire. That's some Gregor Clegane stuff right there.

HOLD ON. Lina's only 15?

ANIME.

Yo, Goury with a beard is straight up manly.

Oh geez, Vrumugun took a direct hit from the Dragon Slave and is just fine now? What level is this guy that Lina and Gourry, our massively over leveled heroes, cannot beat him? I mean come on, Amelia's low level, but she's also a white mage. Lina and Gourry killed a goddamn DEMON LORD, and now they can't stop this guy?

This is why the showdown with Shabranigdo in the first ten episodes was sort of a bad idea.

For a white mage, Amelia knows a LOT of attack magic.

I'm just curious as to how you came to the conclusion that
Lelouche accidentally geassing Euphie into becoming the Euphinator was a calculated act of villainy in his evil master plan when it clearly wasn't

What the holy hell fuck no.

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
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?
Oh and for best friend/side characters, Mami was awesome.

8 SDBurtons out of 10.

==================================





I can get behind that. (nsfw)

Say what you want about the rest, but Kanbaru is awesome.

Wasnt that show incredible? Pure unadulterated entertainment. It knew the buttons to push and it mashed the shit out of them.

Let's just say I'd rather marathon Sword Art Online than watch what I saw tonight again.

Dont say lies like that.
the devil will rip out your tongue.

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.

Interestingly, the only other person I've seen share that opinion is AWO's Gerald. I watched the OVA a few years ago and didn't really care for it, bar the ending sequence.

Danganronpa

I don't know about everyone else, but I personally found the premise for the game interesting. That's really it. I don't know anything about the cast, the staff, or how the story of the game turns out.

Poet Centuriate
Romeo x Juliet 19

Aww yeah, fucking dudes up sneak attack and revolution style. Kinda cliche, but it works.
The actor in me wanted to throttle Juliet for breaking script at the play, lol

Kinda wish Romeo wasn't just sitting idly by, playing Farming Simulator 2013.
 

Excite:

Symphogear G
Senyu s2
Highschool DxD New
Teekyu s2

I can't wait for the Hollywood movie adaptation of Sword Art Online written by
Damon Lindelof
.

"Why was there a scene in this movie where a preteen girl walks around a hotel room in her underwear?"

"Well, you see, there's a really good story reason for that, because, uh, MYSTERIES?"

Eh, could be better.
This is a show about things, and stuff. I like it, will watch more.

Gargantia 2

RIP Pirate-san
Is this the one that people were hyping up before the show started to air, or was it just because it wasn't the first episode? Not much happened really. Just a bunch of boobs talking. I need more Ridget. She's the best.

The staff is eh (Seiji Kishi doing another game adaptation...), but I followed an LP over at Something Awful which translated the game and it's got a really cool story and ambiance, with entertaining, over-the-top characters. Voice cast is ace too. I'm hoping the anime will be able to capture at least a little of that.

Ah well, that sounds promising. I've kinda lost any excitement I might have had over a Seiji Kishi announcement over the last few years, but the rest sounds neat. This is the kind of premise where I need the characters to be good for me to stay interested, so I'm glad that the characters are entertaining.

2012 had some pretty good anime seasons. This year is definitely a step down so far.

I think this year will be the inverse compared to last year. Relatively weak spring and a strong fall compared to last year which was a strong spring and a weak fall.

Not before Space Dandy airs.

I really need to see the premise and tone of Dandy before deciding either way. The dedicated comedy episodes in Champloo and Bebop weren't my favorite. I think Watanabe is good at adding in comedy elements but I'm not sure how he's going to handle a primarily comedic show.
