I'm going to be sad when they revert to het antics instead of going the yaoi route.
Actually, the protag comments on the yaoi/yuri pairings and name drops the title in reference to things not being expected.

So, it's one of those self-aware meta porn shows. :p

It's on the list, but I promised my buddy that Fresh Precure was next after Heartcatch (or as he mistakenly spelled it at first, Flesh Precure... XD)
Don't watch Suite. lol

You are starting to sound like DTL.
Where's the gay?!

Hype is happening.

Well at least two arcs are great for Fresh, I'll give it that much.

Nekomonogatari 3

Even Oshino couldn't do anything, the Cat with sex appeal keeps attacking, but hasn't killed basically. Part of me wonders if these attacks or something are suppose to strengthen or ruin a character. I don't know. I assume the ending sequence will play exactly the same as it was shown in Bakemonogatari.

EDIT: Might continue with Suite Precure sooner than later.
 
Are they toward the beginning or the end?

First great arc is actually close to the middle, second best is the last arc.

Before the first one though, it isn't too bad actually. Can be considered good basically outside of a few episodes. It's the between portion of the first great arc and the second one that is a huge lull period that feels like that could've been shortened in all honesty. Certainly more watchable than I expected though.

Anyone that actually finished Max Heart has nothing to worry about; Precure can't get that bad again and we will never another character as worthless as Shiny Luminous.

I hope.
 
From the New World 17

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

That is one helluva time skip! Holy shit. Also, that ending. The Giant Hornets are gone? What the fuck happened?!

This show has me running in circles like a chicken without a head.

From the New World is pretty uneven I feel. I am a few episodes from the end.

I'm still planning, hopefully, to make my way through most of the Precure series eventually, no matter how badly received some of them might be. So far, my schedules looking like, in order:

Heartcatch (Done)
Smile (currently watching)
Splash Star
Suite
Futari wa Pretty Cure
Fresh
Yes! Pretty Cure 5

Don't know if I'll do the sequels, though. Plus, since I'm still watching DokiDoki as well, I don't want to overload myself with too much Precure. After all, too much Precure might be dangerous.

To LoveRu 7

I suck. :(

I was wondering where the girl in the boys' uniform was throughout the episode. I was all "Screw this guy, where's the cutie in the boys' uniform?!" (Side note: girls in the boys' uniform is never not awesome). Then it turned out they were the same guy. Damn.

They also managed to mix in some :dtl too. Impressive.
 
Nekomonogatari End

Hanekawa is too righteous.... that it bothered me. She feels rather unreasonable, and I know this happened in Bakemonogatari, but somehow it feels even worse here. Guess I'm done with the Monogatari series for now. Time to move onto a different anime.

Fuck it, almost everyone could be a tsundere.

Anyone that actually finished Max Heart has nothing to worry about; Precure can't get that bad again and we will never another character as worthless as Shiny Luminous.

I hope.

This much is true as far as I'm aware. Nothing has been as bad as Max Heart, which was painful when I devoured chunks after chunks of it at a time. Felt like burning... dying... calling Shiny Luminous a Deer in the Headlight. It was just so bad. Even the animation was terrible. Hope Suite won't kill me, and hoping that the intro for Smile was the worst it will get.

From the New World is pretty uneven I feel. I am a few episodes from the end.

The beginning parts (like around episode 5-7,
after the library revelation, during the whole sequence the children are aiming to get back to the village
) were very inconsistent. But I feel the later parts of the season are top-notch and consistent in quality. I loved this show, and it easily got into my top ten list for this year.
 
I can't remember but I don't think that would qualify though under backstory as that still doesn't provide a reason or motivation for the character to act the way he does.

It's something like:
woman he loves sacrifices herself to become part of the grail, Zouken decides to live long enough to see their dream come true. long life and the stuff he does to stay alive drives him insane and he forgets why he's trying to be immortal (until he remembers).
Pretty much everyone in TM world has some sort of tragic backstory. Except Waver.

Arjuna 13-

I'm really disappointed. This was neither as funny or as stupid as I had hoped. It's definitely bad writing but I think the peak was episode 9. I'm just left with this really meh feeling. Doesn't hold a candle to Blood-C which was a masterpiece in this regards. I was really hyped going in to this and had a great gif in mind but it's not worth the time.

The final arc wasn't bad good like episode 9 but just bad.

Also Kanno coming out on top like the Queen she is.

He's smirking? I didn't think Id still need to use my imagination when watching anime. Part of the anime comes off as a comedy while the other portion comes across as a terrible take on how awful people can be. The class is just consistently atrocious, Nakamura is awful, and I even get annoyed at Kasuga.
Though his brief moments of happiness was really fun and good until class had to spoil his fun and Nakamura ruining it of course

Heartcatch Precure!

Episode 22

It doesn't matter if you love plants and seem to be doing everything correctly such as giving them the proper amount of water and fertilizer and nothing seems to be working. Just keep loving them and everything will magically sort itself out! Great sage advice there. What happened to you Tsubomi no Obaachan? You used to be cool.

Also
if the school was closed down due to a Typhoon then how did the girls get inside?

This episode was graced with the awesomeness that is Kumojacky though.

This episode also confirms that
You know who is you know who.

Episode 23

--Major Spoilers in the following comments!--

Umakoshi episode!

It's interesting when shows like this targeted for a younger crowd have an episode around darker or more mature themes. Although
it might only serve to further scare them about surgery if they weren't already. Depending on how much exposure they've had towards it in regards to themselves or their family.

Going back and reading and everyone also seems to be having only a partial reaction to what they should be this episode. Most seem to be a
"OMG! Cure Sunshine is Isuki!" Which indeed is pretty nice in itself but no comments on her amazing transformation sequence? She even has flash when using the spray bottle with how she flips it around from hand to hand. How about the fight and its really nice animation this episode as well?

Lasted for about 4 minutes before the combination of being a slideshow with horrible 3D graphics got the best of me. 1 and half of those minutes were spent on listening to the surprisingly good Op, which is a goddamn shame its wasted on something like this.

Obviously its a show meant to be viewed by children, but even then I think its incredibly insulting to them if someone was expecting them to turn on the TV and watch this whenever it comes on.

Sports threads are gonna be the biggest sufferers. Everyone is gonna post the same gifs at the same time.

On the plus side, at least we don't need SunhiLegend anymore.
 
What is this "new" GIF technology ?

Sorry i'm missing something but it was raining so hard a part of the road near my home just "disapeared" so i've been busy trying to reach the rest of the civilisation today.
Why was there so many gifs last page ?
