Girls getting hit by Tennis balls!
Starting I should say right off the bat that I really love the OP for this. The ED is pretty good too of course but the OP is very very nice!
This is very similar to Gunbuster 01 in many ways in how it played out which I suppose is expected since Gunbuster was sort of paying homage to it. Style it is often just Dezaki being Dezaki. Which of course is not really ever a bad thing. This show basically has everything you'd expect from a Dezaki 70s shoujo show, the senpai, the main character with hidden talent, the coachi/love interest and roses. Lots of roses. You say it gurl. Coachi's a dickhead. I kinda like this shot.

#TeamNeighbor? You mean #TeamBoring.
Sorry
she's already used the heartshaped bento box RIP Chiho :(

Each week I just have less and less to say. Three of the Four kings were alright, with Hyperion and Titan being the best designed. I just hope they dont push them off to being relevant to the plot 25+ episodes from now instead of the here and now.

Subaru and Koga is good team, was disappointed they split the others up again :/

Oh fuck yeah! Can't wait to read your future impressions.

So perfect. Think I'll be hopping on the Sailor Moon train shortly after I finish Moretsu Pirates and Gunbuster.

I thought you had seen Sailor Moon before. Have you really not seen it before or have you and this would be a re-watch? Maybe I'm thinking of the live action show and that's why I thought you had seen it before if you haven't.

I hope ... well i dont but i hope they do something good with that but i'm not getting my hopes up.

I guess it's time to see the episodes i've cast aside.

Maybe she didn't die and just dropped on some tomatoes.
Yes that's what it was. I refuse to believe otherwise.

OH right ...


Wait ..she didn't have tomatoes when she fell. How do you explain this ?

Actually now that I think about, Alsiel should just pair up with Maou, then Neighbor-chan and Chi can comfort each other over their lost love, and realize that women are better anyway. And Emi can pair up with Co-worker-san or just go back to Enta Isla or whatever, who cares about her?

Sounds like a plan!

So is flight attendant cosplay actually a thing? It seems kind of out of place next to the standard nurse, bunnygirl, maid, and gym uniform stuff.

Okay, let's get to finishing this series. Bittersweet City, here we come!

Romeo x Juilet 21

I was kinda wondered how they were gonna work towards "Love that can never be ending" as I was watching the earlier parts of the city. I mean, you couldn't have it match the source material's end with the dual suicide of our two young lovers, because there aren't two houses to unite in this adaptation.
The whole "Juliet is a sacrifice for the floating continent" twist to cause it rather generic honestly, but I guess it can work. We'll see.
But Juilet's confusion about the
burning of Neo Verona
works good as the analogue for the confusion at the end of the original play.

Montegue is, again, such a dick for really no more reason anymore than "Hey, look at me, I'm the bad guys! A-boo-ga-boo-ga!" Mercucio is a moron for not seeing that.

And William is still one of the best written characters in this show, bar none.

"That dawn will never break..." ;~;

Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S - 01


Exactly what I was hoping to see in this season opener! Skirt flipping and Mikoto x Kuroko fluff! :D

From what they showed in the credits/OP, it looks like we have a number of female villains that will be showing up, which is great! Though it looks like Touma will have a somewhat larger presence in this season than he had in the last. :( Let's hope he bites the dust quickly so the scientific garden can remain pure. Now, off to find some Mikoto x Kuroko doujins before starting the next ep.

The Rose of Versailles 2

Marie Antoinette's laugh is stupid and annoying. Its obvious that sue doesn't give two shits about her finance and has total yuri eyes for Oscar. I would too. Her fiancee is a loser who hides behind people, while Oscar is brave, strong, valiant, and beautiful.

Why is everybody's teeth so prominent? It makes them look rather derp at times.
 
Gargantia 01


So it starts with Mechas, but it crash lands on our planet basically. Although the limited view of the design gives me a ship feeling instead of being completely natural land of sorts.

This could have some interesting world development (it should have some, it doesn't have much room to wiggle around in.) But it seems interesting so far.

I used to watch Sailor Moon way back when it was on Toonami but I'm sure I haven't seen all of the episodes. It'd be nice to watch it in its entirety.

Red Data Girl 08

It's weird how 'confident' our lead is when she isn't with the lead boy.

Well, we're getting little bits of story here and there, it's somewhat interesting but not completely either.
 
Uta no Prince Sama Maji Love 2000% Episode 8

tumblr_mn88zeF9D61qbxqfpo2_500.png

Plotwise the episode was odd, eight episodes to arrive at that which was revealed in the OP of episode 1 and that which is in the ED each week...Though I guess, I and others arent actually watching this for plot so it was pretty insignificant.

Resort had many great moments, and Ittoki, Syo always had the best shots.
Cecil song was great mainly because everyone chimed in and the heart and bubbles visuals there, pretty sweet
 
He seems close to that level anyway. He just needs to start writing gratuitous speeches that baffles and amazes us and he'll be set.

Once that happens, #animegaf would have 2 leaders at both ends of the spectrum and a army of specialists for everything else.
It'll be the birth of #animeGAF 2.0

In a few years , the tales of this revolution will be told in a book called "the garden wars".

Later animated by Gonzo.
