Cardcaptor Sakura 1
I enjoyed pretty much every second of this. Sakura is adorable, this tiny ojou-sama is a voyeur, Kerberos is hilarious, and I really love these clow card encounters. This should be a fun watch.
I'm inclined to agree!

I should note it isn't particularly hard to look past it, its just that I took a history class this semester so these things are fresh in my mind and I'm trying to make sense of them, that's all. I'd like to think nobody thinks I'm ragging on the show because of its nonsensical history, because I can accept alternate histories just fine for fiction (00's ridiculously hamfisted world unification notwithstanding), I'm just curious.
I can see the Monarchy fleeing to America since the Portuguese did that, but how was the French Revolution more successful? I mean, we discussed at length in this class (and my professor was Austrian, so I hope he was less biased than most) why the American Revolution succeeded where the French did not.
I suppose the answer is that without the American Revolution to bring monarchies down a peg, conditions only grew worse until the French Revolution, and so there was no Napoleon because the French Revolution succeeded, except that, if the American Revolution had failed, and Britain had remained powerful or, as the show suggests, grown in power, it seems odd to me that the French Revolution would then be successful, since at the time European Monarchies flocked to France to put the, what was it the Bourbons? back in power so that Monarchy would reign over Democracy.

You have no idea of how much Cute you are about to ingest here. I would advise to take some breaks every few episodes for the sake of your heart.
CCS is a miracle of the universe.

Well shit, I saw this post 4 minutes after it was posted
There are bits and pieces of "new" information due to the ongoing release of the Akito OVA, which is a Code Geass side story set in Europe, but none of them have really gone into the detailed specifics of how and why the points of divergence came about, at least not at the time of this writing. Maybe they will later on, maybe they won't.
This is the only "official" explanation right now:
That being the case, your explanation is as good as any other. Well, except that Napoleon did exist, but apparently he didn't get to become Emperor and a purely republican form of government remained in place. Like others have already said, it's probably not worth scratching your head too much over this. Let's assume a few revolutionaries (maybe even with magic eyes!) were responsible for the difference and toppled the monarchies in the other European countries much easier than in real life, so Britain had fewer continental allies.

Clearly I've been training all my anime life for this moment. Sakura is definitely maximum so I'm not sure how I'll handle her in all of those outfits I've seen.

I guess I've become bitter because of all the sports shows I've seen in the past year or so. If Saki is the most recent sports show with the most characterization (and Side-A is, as much as I like it, a bit of a mess in terms of the sports stuff), I just don't have much hope.
I'd be happy if they just pulled a Hyouka and spent an episode looking for an earring in the pool. lol
This is really how you would do a 4koma in anime form, assuming you wanted to keep the 4koma pacing and not create a real show out of it like Kotoura or K-Ob. Of course, you also have some of the K-On cast being perverted, which I'm sure is a bonus for some.

So, Evangelion 3.33333333 really was stupid to the point of being comedy. I can only imagine the reaction someone must have had if they were actually watching this in the theatre. Would they be suffering as much as Shinji? Would they lose the will to live? Would someone need to drag their mindbroken, soulless husk of a body out of their seat?
At least Kaworu was great, as expected.
I saw a couple episodes of Sakura when I was a kid. I remember thinking it was another lame show trying to capitalize on the Digimon/Pokemon craze, like Monster Rancher.
I was a close minded child.

This episode introduces us to Sousuke's new high school rival: Issei Tsubaki, who has no significance in Sousuke's life outside of this series and is more or less overshadowed by Sousuke's later rival
Issei kinda reminds me of Kagura from Azumanga Daioh for some reason, but I don't know exactly why or how. Just does.
Anyway Sousuke and Tsubaki make a sordid deal that the winner of their contest keeps Kaname, which Senior Hayashimizu quickly overturns, pointing out that Sagara doesn't have that kind of power. He does. Kaname's not keen on the sexism.
They wind up injuring the janitor and having to help him out as punishment. They set him off and he turns into a psycho janitor. When Kaname finds Sousuke the next morning, he's just muttering "Live ammo has no effect on this guy" again and again.
I also noticed this episode that where in FMP! the opening credits say the show was developed in conjunction with Mithril, FMP?F!!'s opening credits say the show was developed with the help of the Jindai High School Committee. Which is adorable.
Savor the carefree highschool feel while you can, because pretty much after this it gets hella serious

Sort of. The Dancing Very Merry Christmas arc is kind of the last fun Sousuke and Kaname have before Leonard more or less declares war on them.
You are going to die.
This is cute in the highest, purest form.
RIP in peace, we hardly knew ye.
Hell yeah.
Ya crazy bro, it was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid.

It's true, man. The human body isn't designed to repel cute of this magnitude. I watched it a couple of months ago, and I still haven't fully recovered.

Bullshit.
I didn't have great taste in anime until I was a teenager, okay?
I have always and always will secretly love Monster Rancher in my heart.
I remember playing the PS1 game and using my mom's Celine Dion CD to get monsters from other people's discs.

I can only imagine the potent beast that was spawned from that CD.
I'll proclaim my love of Monster Rancher here. Sure the dub had it's moments but it was a very good second to Digimon.

Meriken burgers are fucking evil. I'm not even kidding. Don't fuck with them.
Also this went all crazy again. Mystical powers inside the human gut and such.
Juna will make the happy bacteria grow.
Its not too late if you hurry!
All your training was worth it. This is what you are alive for. You were put on this Earth to see Cardcaptor Sakura. It is your destiny.
Oh man the uweh's. CCS is the meaning of life. we are born. We watch CCS. and we die. Its the natural order of things.

Yeah! It is a shame he kind of disregards what is totally a pretty valid early style. Just take a look at what can still be salvaged from his old website:

Some of those illustrations would have otherwise been totally forgotten and probably erased from the 'face of the Internet'.

Cardcaptor Sakura 1
Well she loves you, that's why she's weird to you. After dealing with the Bishonen trio, we see the daily life of a Grade school girl, filled with imagination of children's yonder. As such it might be problematic for her. For example...
For starters, I'm pretty sure burglars don't sound like horses. We also see the power of a grade schooler having trouble reading (how adorable), although I'm not sure if it's because it's in english or not. She screwed things up and triggered the collectathon sequence that would make Rareware proud.
She's just a kawaii grade schooler, WHAT do you want from her D:.
We're off to a promising start, but oh boy, a long runner. Not Precure franchise long, but it's still a long one.

Its 70 episodes long, but you wont be able to marathon the whole thing at once anyway. Its too cute.
One thing it really has going for it is that Sakura never wears the same outfit. Tomoyo makes her new ones every episode and her "transformation" isnt really one as such.
As a result the show has a bit of a different vibe to it than a typical mahou shoujo, but still keeps the monster of the week and solving grade school issues format typical of the genre.
Oh and the inserts songs, OP's and ED's are CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE.

I don't plan on straight marathoning considering I'll have other things running parallel with this, namely Suite (and possible Smile) Precure, and whatever else is on the side.
Just watch 5 or 6 episodes at a time. Pace it out.

Not gonna lie. Kinda agree.
Her actress (on the right of this pic) is pretty cute.
Hmm..So the in-show character designs are actually pretty close then.

They trace over the actors so I'd hope so!
It's not like they rotoscoped any naught bits. He could've worn something underneath so it wouldn't get too awkward and no one would notice. All they would have to do is make it skin colored.
Although, for the sake of art, I would've had him stripped.
Yeah... "art".
I can't really contribute much to this discussion but I always found it really interesting the way the eyes always appeared to be the most significant focus of the faces in Noein. I really that sounds like a rather redundant statement to make but stil....

Boring! I knew it was coming but didn't enjoy much of this episode at all aside from how it looks. It just felt slightly overly heavily handed with the idea of
"Hey? It's kinda funny how you don't act more human? Are you sure the space army aren't a bunch of DICKS?!". I'm interested to see how Ledo changed from the brief flashback to how he is currently though; whether through drugs or just through repressed memories.
Pre-post Edit: Actually looking back, it wasn't entirely boring and I can see the purpose of the episode but I'd rather it didn't continue on down the route of "slice-of-life-teaching-Ledo-how-to-be-a-team-player".

In show designs? They trace them!
Wait, am I reading this right, in Code Geass Britain takes over the whole of the Americas. Sure Pizza Hunt may be sick with a crust (someone said something about this "food" substance being an important part of the show), but I can forgive that if the concept is Britain being a super power.
Not always, a lot of seiyuus are homely compared to idols.
Being attractive certainly helps, just like in every industry ever!
