I've been holding out on finishing this for awhile now because I was afraid of what I would face in the coming episodes. I was paranoid that I was going to get Yami'd and once again be thrown into a downward spiral of anger, confusion, and sadness. Witnessing
Fuuuuck, my heart!
Beautiful ending to a beautiful story. Definitely recommend checking this out if you have not already. Gao Gao~

Lulu getting killed broke both my heart and soul, the pain compounding as we observed Ginko finally realizing how valuable and special of a friend she was.

I think I didn't word it properly but yeah that made me laugh. Seeing Isla actually trying to force a smile.
I should have explained my comment a bit more. In general, over other forums and what not people tend to hate on a show just cause of Hestia ;_;
Envelope how did you find out the trade secret?!
Muchas gracias, that show was awesome. Kinda bummed (all the time apparently lol) that this show didn't get a third season.

Nothing amazing, but the first 4 episodes have been pretty damn good so far.
I think Ono is still the best, lol. I'm not sure what series that one is.
Well, to keep it short and simple, I work in a professional office by day and retail store at night, plus I coach a rec soccer team and help coach my daughter's travel teams. So yeah, life is busy, lol.
How about the JB stuff? Now that was some backstory right there; as ordered and was her first, now damn... I can't wait to hear the girls responses to this and especially his "girlfriends" response..

Sheesh Marika is the way to go.😏
Essentially a run of the mill sports show with the unlikely underdogs using teamwork to overcome. Only with cute girls and tanks. Many, many awesome WW2 era tanks. The general story structure is something that has been seen a billion times, the rest is something else. 'tis good. Another good and short synopsis is that it is the World of Tanks - The Anime.
Oh yeah, one episode has a cover of Katyusha. That bit was a killer.
Marika is better than Shitoge, that's it.

Lol, yeah a little busy. I mentioned it a couple weeks ago, but in a normal market situation I'd be too busy dealing with clients during the day to have my Kindle running on my desk; hopefully it gets back to that moving into 3Q. At night, when retail is slow, it's slow. I can browse GAF on my phone and pick up a quick episode during break. The scale-back will start soon, lol
So no blood, lust, violance, adventure, etc, right?
Right, your next assignment is to start watching Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku.

I dunno, man. I think seeing a Tiger blast away the armor plating of a Mark IV is a rather violent and visceral experience.

Maybe if it was that chick from Gurren Lagann or Ange, but not cutesy gils, lol
Yeah I watched first 4, episodes....and...well...it does not seem to be anything amazing or jaw droping....yet its very enjoyable and good in its own way.
Like i said before, the show name is its major detractor....it cant be taken seriously because of it, furthermore when you couple with fan service it does....yeah.
Ill contnue watvhing it, me thinks
Psycho Pass 2 End
Holy cow the show went out guns blazing with its stupid. While none of the individual elements hold a candle to the episode 7 Kamui plot twist, the stupidity was so dense, collectively I can judge it to be the stupidest episode of Psycho Pass. (ha ha, see what I did there?)
In summary, Psycho Pass 2 is a show that is coherently asymptomatic and can die with a shot of destroy decomposer to its face. I hope the movie forgets this season ever existed.

So after Tsunemori goes all badass and handcuffs Togane, his motivation is revealed. So the whole time this subplot was about one of the most colossal mamma's boy conceived in fiction. I have no words (I know, I have said it a lot of times, but this show is too stupid >_<). And how the hell does his Psycho Pass darken when he was criminally asymptomatic? Show! C'mon, do you even remember what criminally asymptomatic is? No matter what, they are unable to be judged by Sybil due to something inherent in their personality. Holy crap the show quickly forgot about it because Misako's personality got offed by having her psycho pass darken. Oh and I loved how she managed to get a quick word in before blowing up. SHOW, YOU CAN'T EVEN GET THE WORKING OF AN EXPLODING GUN RIGHT. If an exploding gun explodes you, you just explode, there isn't an extended period where person is not blowing up. Seriously, can't even get an exploding gun right. Getting back on track, there is no way in hell she could have acted independently from the rest of the brain and gotten away with it in season 1. And they certainly wouldn't have done something as stupid as putting Togane with the inspectors, which jeopardizes the careful balance Sybil has set up.
Now let's talk about the stupidest par of this episode's proceedings. The most asinine reason is used to justify Sybil obtaining a crime coefficient reading. They used the analogy of the omnipotent paradox. Basically, there is no such thing as an omnipotent being because if it were to create a stone so heavy it couldn't lift it, it would seize to be omnipotent. But then if it couldn't create such a stone, it wouldn't be omnipotent. The show proceeds to apply a similar logic to Sybil. If it can't judge Kamui, then it wouldn't be perfect. So in order to achieve perfection, they must judge Kamui. Except in order to do so, it would have to judge a collective, rendering itself vulnerable to collective judging because they are breaking their own rules. Except why? The logic would have a point if it's the Sybil brains making the judgment based only on subjective standards of what the brains thought consisted of criminality. But whoever said the crime coefficients depended solely on the opinions of the brains in the vats? Ignoring the fact that Sybil cares more about the outwards perception of perfection according to season 1, they're all criminally asymptomatic! Forget whatever logic they are using, it's a fact of their biology that whatever scientific metric they are using is unable to model criminal behavior out of them. The brains are only there to calculate, interpret, and judge based on those numbers, with adding more perspectives decreasing inaccuracies to the calculations. That they cannot judge themselves is more a point to their favor than a weakness.
This episode represents the culmination of the logic above and many other seen in all previous episodes. Sybil gets a 300+ reading, and apparently, getting rid of a few brains here and there keeps it back to 0 even though they are criminally asymptomatic and I doubt a few brains here and there would have brought it back down to 0. Kamui is represented to have all these personalities contained within him in admittedly visually cool scenes showing him phasing in and out of them. As cool as it is, too bad he belongs to a totally different show. Then of course, his collective psycho pass is judged even though it makes no freaking sense that he has all these personalities when only the brain matters. Heck, a simple fix of him having multiple personality disorder would have made it a lot more compatible to the psycho pass universe. Finally, the collective thanks Tsunemori for giving them this opportunity to be more perfect. No, they would not have said that in season 1, and they are not trying to achieve 100% perfection because they recognize the futility of it. Related to it, let me talk about the contrast of the message between this season and last season. Season 1 uniformly condemned the Sybil system, and Tsunemori hopes that one day the country can be without it even if in the current situation getting rid of it would be bad. In contrast, this season says Sybil is bad because it isn't perfect enough. aarrrgghhldjfodjjsoehjfoehfoejfowejfow. In the last hurrah, the show just couldn't help itself and had to add another layer of stupidity. Ehtical stupidity.
The other part of the show was spent with security cleaning up Kamui's men. Not only was the battle of little consequence, my god is Shisui, Kamui's second in command, a lot less interesting than Choi Gu Sung from first season. And speaking of battles with little consequence, this whole show was of little consequence. The whole thing was so anticlimatic too, with it ending with Togane and Kamui blowing each other up. It didn't even have the crazy so bad it's good thing from episode 9. The villain was so uninteresting throughout the whole proceeding too. Nothing has changed except Shimotsuki has anti developed and became 1 dimensional as a character. Oh and now society can be judged collectively solely by the troll logic of Kamui, which for some reason Tsunemori is not concerned at all. There is optimism, and there is wall banging naivety, and the writers crossed that line with Tsunemori, who also goes along with the show's theme of Sybil is just not perfect enough. Great, as a final FU, they ruined my favorite character and the only consistently good part of season 2.

This show reminds me of super perverse bizzaro take on already bizzare FLCL (love that show) style territory.....its random as fuck...goes out of charecter for monologue...tries to do different stuff...and at the same time throw panty and other sexual BS in the mix....
Thats judging by first episode seen.
true theres never too much cute. At least not for me.
Its not a bad show. The mc is tolerable.
Syr is the freakin best.

Yeah tomorrow Im off work finally after another 108 hour 9 day stretch. Im getting really burnt out but I have to work more 9 day stretches for at least another month. I might die.

Honestly Syr and Freya are the best girls, just can't resist those smiles.😎
Though Hestia is alright even if she's a bit clingy.
Girls and Tanks :3
Or if you haven't seen Gurren Lagann yet then check that out too.
Also Madoka
Syr has definitely been my favorite so far

I love Baka & Test. It's just a fun show. I love it's slapstick humor. Sometimes it's can be pretty subtle in it's humor.
Lets put it this way. Hestia is better than a useless freeloader sidekick named Index.
Its fanservice is a lot more tame than some of the stuff I've seen in my day lol. Of course Hestia's boobs are a clear sign of that but its basically just that. Other than the rare shots we get of undergarments.

The character designs are from Yasuda (aka anti gravity boobs guy) so she has it to keep them from floating in random directions
Maybe that's why

There certainly are some characters with long, skinny limbs in this anime, aren't there.
Wasn't expecting that conclusion to the episode. Things could get interesting
Code Geass 2
I like it, the outsmarting the enemy seems feasible, given that
Britainians aren't very nice are they?

After all that he goes back to school?
How very anime.
Clever way to throw suspicion off himself.

they aren't aware that he knows all their movements. The scientist people just grabbing some random dude to test their mech was dumb though.

And the rebel girl is in school with him?
So there are limits on his power. That's good for the plot I suppose, as otherwise he could just concur the world by being OP in political dealings

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion 8
This episode was super engaging and fun to watch. First, you have Suzaku being badass, because he can. You have Lelouch outsmarting everyone in the room, because he can. And you have the likable
, because she can. The speech at the end of the episode was especially enjoyable to watch and makes you root for Lelouch, though I feel it's doing that now to slowly turn into something completely different then what they started out fighting for.

Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere 11-13
So that's season 1 of this show. And...it was weird.
Like, I wouldn't call it bad, exactly, but it sure was confusing! Even by the end I was still having a hard time understanding just how exactly this world worked and how these characters worked in it.
Thankfully, the characters were entertaining. Tori could have very easily been made as a generic LN sort of main character. Instead he actually turned out to be pretty funny. It's not often that I see an anime having a dimwitted protagonist that almost always has a grin on his face.
I liked how the love confession scene went down. I mean, they kinda lost me halfway through that "parallel" nonsense, but I have to give the writer credit for doing it differently than most anime does these things.
Well, season 2 is next. Hopefully that one is much more easier to understand. Despite what I liked about this show, I think this is the most confusing anime I've ever watched.

Looks like Lelouch screwed up last ep.
Though he managed to do something about it this ep.

Can't believe they let him approach like that though, and I bet using his power against the commander there will hurt him later on. Wasn't expecting that from Kururugi at the end.
