I'm not catching your drift.
Trust me, you'll feel the same way.
Awww there, there. Cheer up!
That thing can go burn in hell.

My interest level in this show has dropped dramatically since Haruhi has started making a regular appearance. Hopefully she won't stick around much because I generally find her appearance annoying.

Yams I already know her secret, which is why I like her a lot.😏
Plus her seductive qualities.

Go! Aikatsu Precure 12
In which Kirara competes against the Japanese version of Darla Dimple, who I recognized as being played by Sayuri Yahagi even without aid of the credits. Ranko sounded like a malicious version of Suzu from SYD, and like Suzu, she's older than she looks. The MotW battle did debut the new attacks, establishing that Kirara is the next in a line of yellow shieldcraters with her moon powers. Usagi could never do that, but Alice is still the best when it comes to doing awesome things with defensive powers.
Next week, Seed Jeanne makes her appearance.

Funny enough, the only place I could find it was from a GAF anime OT from 2012. lol
Also, there was something so old fashioned about the OVA. It's like the best parts of 80s science fiction spirituality jankiness. Very Dune-like. lol
Recommendation about Ninja Slayer; I've been seeing too much "Yeeart!" and too little "HIIYAHH!" around, so next time maybe you should give an opportunity to Viewster and watch it subtitled there... bonus points achieved on unnecesary translator notes for that truly authentic 'low-fi' amateur approach. :-D

Absolutely adoring this show right now. Seriously I knew from the outset that, given the premise, that there was a ton of storytelling potential in just exploring all the crazy ways a setting like a "supernatural New York" could be exploited. Even with that in mind from I've come away surprised again with the diversity of stories they're able to tell here. I know it wont last, I can see that they're already laying the groundwork for a more focused multi-episode arc, but I'm fully content in staying in this crazy day to day adventure for as long as possible.
Plastic Memories - 03
The first half's gag definitely dragged on for longer than it needed to but I can't say that, given the way the ending played itself out, that the episode as a whole was "bad". The scale seems to be tipping further along the "slice of life/comedy/romance" spectrum but it seems to be handling itself competently enough while in that framework. If this episode existed in a vacuum where you replaced "robot" with "random chick with
" then I think a lot of this would end up making more internal sense. Again I find myself thinking that with the way the first episode played itself out that the show could be doing a LOT more to explore the "bigger picture" of robot and human relationships. They create this stellar plot device that gives them an excuse to mediate the
and have, so far, pushed it aside to focus on the rather dry relationship between Isla and our self insert MC and "humor" which grew old after the first ep.
The potential for a turn around is the only thing keeping me invested here.
Ninja Slayer - 1
Not sure about this one. I enjoyed the hell out of Inferno Cop but that was a show that kept you on the edge of your seat at every moment with insanity happening constantly. It was a perfect storm of just hilariously absurd things going on one after another in short succession. It -used- each 3 minute episode extremely well. Ninja Slayer seems decidedly more tame in comparison, less insanity for insanities sake and more trying to shoehorn a style that doesn't fit the narrative. It's silly sure but I feel it's coming in with a story and setting that could actually be justifiably animated.
Hmm, I think I'll take your advice on this one.

Nagato Yuki 3
Haruhi continues to be a force of nature not even Ryoko or Tsuruya can measure up against. Koizumi continues to be that guy that licks Haruhi's boot. More like the original now aside from Yuki herself.
Re-Kan 3
Continues to just be amusing/interesting enough to be watchable. Eggs truly are serious business. Might as well stick around for the remainder. It's a decent watch on a Saturday.

Go! Princess Precure 12
I'm hoping someone brings me home donuts because I NEED THEM NOW. Fuck my pancreas.
Also rival girl is a shit, but she's a shit with SPIRIT. She can't be a complete shit with how much she put forward for donuts, and HaruHaru's ribbon gag was neat. And YUI was here! She's gonna be relevant!
Humorous episode, and one I can get behind.
NEXT TIME
We begin the Twilight Princess Arc

The funny thing is, licking eyeballs is probably the thing that makes the most sense about the OVA. lol
You know, I've been meaning to ask about the whole donut thing on twitter, but I take it that everyone on this show just really likes donuts? lol
Screencapping a post of the latest Cirno 'trolling trip' in there isn't helping your case here!
Seriously, Viewster unfiltered 'nihongo' feels better, you 'kisama yatsu'.

Donuts are the food that is referred to most often in this show so yes. Just like it was in Fresh Precure

Nah.
But both seasons really do love donuts though. I'm kind of hoping they pull
that donuts are the miracle to the universe like they did in Fresh's final arc

Really hoping spot the Nao becomes a thing
And it was at this very moment in history, that the worlds first Shokugeki no Soma shipper established his allegiance in spite of the troubles to come.
One who was purely content at happily watching his ship sail smoothly.
Without ever once having to desecrate himself in lieu of the constant insults and arguments frequently making their way into a discussion that usually starts off with the simple phrase "____ is best girl" or "____ a shit."
Truly the most admirable of souls.

Thanks Jarmel for comparing Parasyte with Arjuna, because of that I decided to watch it and I'm enjoying it so much, I'm not into anything with blood but this anime gets me hyped every episode.

You'll be pleased coming up. Next week is Yamamura, a director who's growing in his range, but nothing like Ishihara at the moment. Then you have Yukimura, the one behind the incredible Ren ep 2 (one of the few highlights of Ren) in episode 4 (and she's also serving as AD too!). Finally, you'll definitely want to see episode 5 as it has the return of Kigami as an episode director for the first time since Kyoukai ep 11. Knowing the content of the episode, it's one everyone here will want to see as well.
While I am annoyed at some of Ishihara's changes (one in particular has him written all over knowing his tendencies and interviews), there's some good content coming up from the novel. I'm very excited to see it starting to ramp up next week.

At least we got smug Shinoa, even if it was predictable. Anyways background art is amazing as always.

RIP in peace Kana, as Migi said it was just a matter of time, really unfortunate how everything ended for her but at least she died in the hands of the one she liked. When Shinichi asked Migi to take care of the defense and then took the heart of that guy with his bear hands was amazing, not even Migi knew what was going to happen haha.

Bubblegum Crisis 2033: Double Vision
It is unreal how good this still looks.
It just makes me sad we hardly get anything of that caliber nowadays.
Enjoyed it a lot more than I remembered, though.
In a word, I think it's the shading.

All Zachy needed to hear.
Based on what I've seen and been hearing about Seraph of the End, i'm pretty happy I chose not to start watching it.
Watched the new UBW and BBB episodes. Still have Arslan and Plastic Memories to get through. My final (!) exam in university is Monday so I'm not sure if I'll have time to squeeze them in until then, considering I haven't really started studying for it yet...
Unlimited Blade Works - 15
Good episode overall but I had some issues. Illya's backstory was well done, I thought (though some aspects were somewhat unclear). I just think it would have been more impactful had she had a bigger role before this.
I came away with a feeling of "Wait... thats it?" Berserker in the F/Z was a major threat and kept showing up. Here we got what? 2 fights out of him? And in the second fight he basically
Blood Blockade Battlefront - 3
Sort of a slow episode, but I enjoyed what I saw. Guess its building to something for next time. Not in love with the show, but its solid. As others have mentioned, it has a great sense of style - really love the setting and the characters are full of personality.

got his ass handed to him. Illya seemed like a cool character - I wish we got to see more of her.
