Oh hey, this show isn't half bad.

Wow, just when I was about to complain that the plot resolved itself way too fast, a whole slew of new problems came in.

Yuichirou episodes are the best. He's seriously my favourite character in the show. He has a youthful bravado that is just wonderful to look at, and his play-off with Rei also brings her character under a different light. So, yeah this is probably the best episode since Haruka and Michiru's introduction! Not that this didn't have its fair share of cousins being cousins.

The shitty ballad was hilarious. Speaking of music, I've noticed most of the compositions this season are arrangements of the Sailor Moon R movie score. Not that I'm whining since that had a bitching soundtrack!
What's up with Ikuhara and girls transforming into vehicles?
Cure Sunny is better.

I'm not even trolling.
whatever you say, firehawk!

Full Metal Panic! Sigma 6

So this time we're introduced to underwater Arm Slaves! These units are called Leviathans, and are not to be confused with the Laevatein. This episode we see Sousuke almost confess to himself that he loves Kaname, and we learn that Mr. Mardukas was once a Cold Warrior known as The Duke. He activates this transformation by turning his hat around backwards! Yes that's dumb but its also the most light hearted move Mr. Mardukas is ever going to pull. We also find out that Tessa's dad's name is Carl. Carl Testarossa. We find out that
Tessa's dad was once Sailor's captain, and that both Testarossa and Sailor had been saved by Mardukas during a Soviet attack.

Does someone at least know if Dusk Maiden is free of quality issues? I really want to support it because of the commentaries.

I'll burn Sentai to the ground if there are any issues with their Jinrui release because in all likelihood I'm buying it at full price at release, which I almost never do with anime.

Dub only confirmed!

The Count of Monte Cristo 1

If this show did not receive rave reviews at the time of its release, I have no words to express my surprise. This show is already a goddamn visual masterpiece, and the Count comes off as so incredibly sinister, yet charismatically magnetic at the same time.

Oh yes, I will enjoy this.

And is it just me, or does it seem like Franz is gay for Albert? He took that "What are you, my girlfriend?" barb just a wee bit too personally.
 
Okay. I'll probably back burner them cause I did like the first bits of No.6. I promised lavalamp I'd watch Blast of Tempest though; I'm gonna at least start that so I can give my thoughts on it for them.

About the first MS movie, idk. The setting of the show, the struggles of the heroine, the action sequences. Its been a while since I saw it but I don't remember myself hating it. It seemed like a really sick film and I was a little disappointed that it ended on a cliff hanger cause I was real into it for a conclusive end. I thought is was rather engaging.

Why would you stop no.6? Pretty good and suspenseful the whole way through with a huge scene near then end. Return to it please. Blast of Tempest is good too.

I hope aniplex america gives it the same sao treatment.

Be prepared for god awful quality cgi that you will still love. It waaaas weird. Somehow it fit the series despite the quality of it... Fantastic series.
 
Kiddy Grade 11

HAHAHAHAHA. Guy's name is Mr. Mister. This show never gets old with its punny names. Who is even carrying around an egg and a tomato to throw? Rocks I get, because rocks are everywhere, but does someone wake up in the morning and say "screw this lifetime contract I signed because I was an idiot. I'm taking exactly one egg with me, and with that ONE EGG I will, uh, hatch my freedom from the establishment?"

I get that this guy wanted to see her cause some carnage, but what exactly was inelegant about the way Eclair resolved this problem? She stopped AN ENTIRE MOB with minimal effort and minimal damage to property and workers. Even if they're valued as nothing but workers/property, that she resolved this without damaging them/hindering their capacity to work should be seen as elegant. A brutal beatdown would not be, under any circumstances, and it boggles my mind that a businessman would think otherwise.

Oh, hamfisted anime make-believe prejudice. Kid, you got no right to be pissed at the girl for doing her job. Maybe your parents shouldn't have signed a LIFETIME CONTRACT. I mean, how is that EVER a good idea?

Wait, these workers were born into the contract? This has gone on for 300 YEARS?

Holy fuck, where even are civil rights in the world of Kiddy Grade? How is something like this even fucking legal? How does the government authorize this?

And again the government is threatening to kill its workers? That's just a poor use of materials.

OH HOLY SHIT SHIT JUST GOT REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!!!!!

Ah Ah He wanted to see some blood on the floor that's all. He is an *sshole just like 99.999999% of the nobles in that universe.

And yeah , things got fucked quite fast if you paid attention. You should enjoy the other episodes a lot.
 
The puzzle pieces are there, you just have to find them.



Day one on the next yugioh series if it's card games in rowboats.

If only the gohands blindness filter was the beginning and end of Mardock's problems.

The people that have dusk maiden say its issue free, only thing is dub vas and their pronunciation of character names

Gintama fans, does this set off your troll sense yet?

Also, if this is actually movie stuff, the official site will probably update on Monday.

Should i be watching Tamako Market?

Fake Edit: RIP I just started getting back into anime months ago forgive me

Yes, you should!

Yes, do it for Kanna.

This right here.

I actually really like that feature, because OPs tend to spoil a LOT when they showcase casts. This one helped maintain the air of mystery by showing you an outline of The Claw but not his face.

Speaking of, can I just take a moment to say how amazingly well done that reveal was, for an anime? I mean the guy's name is THE CLAW, so we're looking for hands here, and nobody even thinks to think about his face, and where characters tend to have distinctive hair-styles/clothing/headgear, The Claw is just about the most understated character of the show in terms of appearance, and this in spite of having a GIANT CLAW. He's just a normal looking guy with normal looking hair and normal looking clothes.

And also a giant and evil claw.

I feel like I'm being baited into something, and I'm totally fine with it.

Long hair grown up Kagura *Nicholson nod.gif*

It's either a troll or maybe it takes place in a parallel world. Kagura wears similarly to Gintoki so something must have happen to him.

Foreshadowing right off the bat.

We get a demonstration of the Black Nose, which is certainly a reminder of the Dark Gauntlet from Heartcatch, which then proceeds to wreck the shit out of the Cures. Amazing that their Princess forms became useless immediately.

No "power ups" for the Cure this episode, but we demonstrate Pheonix Candy which converted the black nose into a red nose. I can see where too many upgrades was an issue. Considering Princess Form became useless pretty fast could suggest they we'll have another one in about 10 episodes or so... or maybe more since there's 16 decors to color again. 15 more episodes of Decors would leave us on.... 46 unless they resort to Super Akanbes for some reason

Everyone but Miyuki gets kidnapped

Like I've said before, I really hope they're going for an alternate ending idea here with this movie. This just raises my hopes.

This is the worst mental image.
Or best. I'll go with best.

You still need males for that. Are you suggesting male farms?
Not sure if I prefer this approach or...

You lack imagination. Stem cell sourced sperm! Daughters with two biological mothers.
This one. So conflicted.

I wonder why the anime fan community has a substantial proportion of people who obsess over a single gender and relationships between them to the exclusion of the opposite gender. Someone's got to have made an academic study of this phenomenon.
A lot of people streamline their anime and their porn in the form of doujins. A lot of people also prefer porn that excludes their own gender. Anime men also suck nuts.

Now thinking of Gambler Club Precure doujins.

Is that a bad thing?

It's not the former, but I'm sure as hell not discussing this in a public forum!
Boring.

Hmm... looks like a page with the anime character designs for Watamote was posted at some point recently.

http://watamote.jp/character.html
These look so boring. All of the Manga's charm seems drained out :(

By continuing to talk about it you're only blowing the significance of the whole thing further out of proportion! I'm just shy!
That's so moe. MP-chan.

Cat ears AND fluffy tails.
Oh yeah!

Look who's talking!

What the fuck.
They look straight out of Bleach filler material.

That's the point, they parodying (or at least look like) Orihime and Ishida from Bleach.

Black Noses don't amount to much anymore.

I don't know why, but I never considered the possibility of the noses coming from Joker's hair. Suddenly things makes sense now.

Reika the Robot was nowhere near as useful this time so Happy gets the shine for once in her miserable leading life.

I do not get Yellow Noses, as they feel like the most pointless one of all the Noses used so far, but that's because we were never given a clear explanation of what it does. It has only been used twice, and against one Cure, so maybe it's for Solo Fights only? Implying it might be very weak or something?

Nagisa plucking dat love.

That was a very enjoyable episode. I liked the bait and switch with the premise hinting at further Nagisa x Fuji-P developments but instead
turning it around and making it about Kiriya's budding love with Honoka.
Too bad NTR is not a popular genre with Precure circles.
Wait, did Toei seriously sell LOVE GAUGING toys to little girls back in the day? Oh, Toei...

If it can remain this enjoy then I dont mind this filler miniarc lasting three parts or even more. No more kon kon kon kono though, as its really annoying especially with Yota's voice or even just crying Yota. Kid part 1 characters are still rather entertaining and fun and even if theres no jutsu action going on, just seeing them interacting is good enough. Naruto did have fun days after all, if only they could have got flowery Sasuke too.

No more challenges until I can best Kannazuki no Miko. 3.33 took a lot out of me, you see.

Whyyyy are you doing this? :lol

SDBurton watched it and died for your sins so you wouldn't have to. I mean he does that a lot but still the thought counts.

There's only one other yuri that I can think of that killed SDBurton. If I'm being manipulated into watching something right now it's working perfectly.

My sacrifice means nothing!

IIRC, red noses are created from one Decor, blue noses are just bad energy, black noses are created from multiple Decors, and Yellow noses are created from the Decor box. But, yes, they really don't seem special compared to the other types regarding fighting ability.

I'd guess they're above red and blue noses (considering how Happy faced a yellow nose rather than one of the commanders), but don't have blue noses' immunity to the Cures' standard beam attacks and are weaker than black noses.

- Gifûdô!! Naoe Kanetsugu - Maeda Keiji Sake Gatari, the adaptation of a manga about the life of the Sengoku-era samurai Naoe Kanetsugu from the Fist of the North Star artist, has been announced to begin airing in July on TV Tokyo. Daisuke Namikawa will play Kanetsugu and Takuya Sato will play Keiji.

- The anime label Flying Dog has registered the domain aokihagane.jp, thus hinting that an anime adaptation of Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio is in the works. Here's a summary of the manga's premise:

Tvtropes said:
Arpeggio of Blue Steel (Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio) is a fairly recent manga by Ark Performance, centering on humanity, having been pushed back from global warming raising the sea level, and their conflict with the Fleet of Fog, archaic-looking WWII-era ships who have been using Game Breaker weapons and armor to ensure that humans can't set keel or pontoon into the world's oceans without risking getting blown to smithereens. The world's navies banded together 17 years before the opening chapters of the manga and were utterly annihilated.

Since then, Japan's fortunes have gone downhill in a huge way: Japan relied on importing and exporting for both raw materials and income for its economy; without either, the nation's industry has fallen quite far. In this rather bleak future is one shining ray of hope: Blue Steel, a bunch of ragtag misfits led by their captain, one Gunzou Chihaya. Having somehow acquired a Fog ship of their own, the Fog submarine I-401, only Chihaya and his crew can actually claim Fleet of Fog kills in battle.

However, the I-401 and her crew have more enemies than just the Fleet of Fog: The Japanese government are very keen on getting their hands on what initially was their ship. Bureaucrats look at I-401 and drool. However, what nobody realized is that I-401, like many ships now in the Fleet of Fog, has a mind of her own, and a body to fit.

Dammit Miyuki control yourself! You nearly blew your cover running out in the middle of a filming session! But your playful/
flurty nature with Yayoi
got everyone involved in a Period Film, so I guess you amounted to something.

This element was definitely something that I recall happening on a few occasions, like in Futari wa (or was it Max Heart?), and I think in Yes! Pretty Cure 5 (GoGo!).


Red Demon also brings back a familiar monster with the abilities of controlling movement since the monster was a camera, but I think because of that, it allowed for Candy to be useful in the moment of battle. I should commend her for being able to do so without being a power up of sorts, but she's still pretty useful anyway, which is more than what I could say for Coco and Nuts in Yes!

Pop is a spotlight hog, but he's been neglected for some time now, so it's nice that they threw him a bone.
