Leona is breaking down the borders of masculinity, and this episode reminds me that he's a lot like Otoha from Rainbow Live. They're the demure, passive members of the rival teams that nonetheless have nerves of goddamn steel. When Bell was doubting herself and Wakana was lost in her mind? Otoha took some time off, joined Prism Stone for a while, and came back to prove herself worthy, being the first member of Bell Rose to earn her sax, which was beautiful. And by the end of the season, she made sure you would be marchen-like, and put your heart and soul into it.

So tells a similar story in this episode. The latest mind game by the devil and angel isn't nearly as complicated as their previous ones. Say that Dorothy and Shion have joined their team to the other party, sowing seeds of distrust. Leona, who always says "I agree with Dorothy", was worried sick. Empathetic, sympathetic, compassionate - and was going to do a solo performance to send the word that he wanted his friends back, even if his leg was hurting. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, he knows that, and someone so emotional, so invested in their friendships, so breaking of society's gender expectations - "badass" isn't the word you'd use to describe Leona, but it isn't the one you need to. His strength comes from elsewhere. From here. Er, *gestures to heart*. This doesn't work as well as I thought online. Meganee was rather supportive, too.

I did like seeing Iroha again, and the outfits that Shion and Dorothy reverted to when they thought they were going solo - a go-themed samurai and a colorful ninja that makes Starninger look positively restrained - provided some nice humor. Some more barriers are being broken down the plot front, too. Rabbit and Bear know they were duped, but are still captives of love.

Imagine my surprise when it turns out that Mikan and Aroma do exist in the real world - something that Falulu never did. But they're
elementary school students... in a class that's not Lala's, but they who threaten to break apart the PriPara world's most popular groups aren't even old enough to have proper chuunibyou yet.
I suspect, since five members are needed for a team, that either Dressing Pafe or Solami Smile will recruit one or both of them - there's also the other two shadowed idols in the OP - but they'll need to tone down the mind games first.

Be like Leona. You don't need trickery. You just need skill and passion.

What a great, poetic conclusion. Arjuna, this is how you do a pro-nature show without being heavy handed.

Not much to say about this season other than it was a pitch perfect sister to the first season, which was already this slow, gorgeous, poetic work of art. And this fits that bill flawlessly.

Gotta watch the special next.

It looks like gibberish and wingdings.

remember, English makes the title of your series cool, but German makes it *~*MAGICAL*~*.

There's that dumb-looking otaku mahou shoujo called BRATWURST or w/e coming in a season or two, basically the same deal.

Is it actually called Bratwurst? Because if so I'll declare it anime of the forever right now.

So does that make German lyrics orgasmic?
 
We can ban Monster Musume since its shit but Prison School is art so it should be good to go :)

BBB 6

The soundtrack for this show is so amazing <3

This was a weird episode but the bonding time between Leonard and Nej was kind of sweet. I REALLY wish Japan would stop drawing Black people like that though. Like its 2015, you can do better.

Does Zapp and Hummer count?
 
Clannad After Story 13

Gonna stop here, since like everyone has said, the last episodes need to be watched in succession for the full impact, and it's getting late. So
Nagisa finally graduates, and they both get married.
I'm seriously hoping I don't get fucked over right now, because if anything radical happens, I don't know what I will do. Too many happy events at once, with too many episodes left to go. I don't like this one bit. GAF you make me overcautious, and nervous watching this lmfao.
 
With FigureGAF getting the axe, I'm actually kinda concerned about Anime-GAF getting closed as well. Should we put some rules in place to prevent what happened in FigureGAF to occur here? Or am I just being paranoid?

I think it's best to just act smart and don't post shit that would get anyone in trouble
 
New Character Design for Kekkai Sensen

Madao is voicing him, welp at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Sugita were to show up.

Based Kawamoto Toshihiro, no wonder this design looks glorious. It gives me those Cowboy Bebop vibes considering he was in charge of the designs for that series.

Getting closer and closer. I can already see the tinges of darkness seeping in. The whole mood of this show so far is changing. Oh boy.

That's what I was saying before, you literally feel the shift in the tone of the show, even through moments of what should be complete and utter happiness. You're almost to marathon time. Fuck, I'm excited for you, just stay strong my friend, stay strong. It's all coming together nicely, but We have done all we can to prepare you...


Cross Ange 1-6
At first this felt like Cinemax/Skinamax anime edition with the tons and tons of softcore porn. Now I just dislike Ange to the point that I feel like dropping this shit like its hot.
Does our main heroine become less insufferable at any point in the next couple of episodes?

Yes, and your going to find out soon why when the best character arrives, rejoice! The show is a trainwreck, but it is so damn entertaining! Definitely worth the watch.
 
savenquit already learned to link and label as NSFW his perverted images from shows. I think we're clear as long as people follow this. But with duckroll and Dresden not frequenting the thread as much who knows.

Except even that is far too risky to actually do given what transpired tonight, and what happened before last year.

It's easier to just leave the lewds on twitter instead.

Agh damnit. Gonna sleep on this, have the whole day off tomorrow... It's going down. Got my shield all polished and ready to roll.
I am so not ready.
 
Its pretty silly to shut down a whole community IMO. Figure's are pretty niche but imagine if something like AnimeGaf would get hit....then what, you can't talk about anime anywhere or would everything now require a new thread?

weird.

Penny Arcade did it, so it wouldn't be unprecedented. Would suck though.

But yeah, just don't be a dumbass and we're probably fine.
 
Show by Rock!! 5-6

You know, this show is actually pretty entertaining beyond cute girls doing cute things. Shingancrimsonz dudes are hilarious and I'd like to see more of them.

Glad the girls sorted things out and now they can focus on making music together.

Cyan also looks much better without the curls in her hair.
 
B^3 EP05

I'm really liking this adaptation mostly cause it is giving the overall series a loose plot line to follow which differs from the manga that jumps from new story to new story.

While we do lose some parts of each story, such as introduction to Hummer and why we are introduced to him in the first place or the whole thing about the train monster itself, the overall feel of having something that ties these together does make this enjoyable.

I will admit I'm kinda disappointed they are skipping some stories I did enjoy from the manga such as Steven's dinner party and Gilbert's rescuing story, I am looking forward to seeing how they adapt the further stories.

I don't think Zapp or Hummer are "Black" (I'm basing this more on facial features and hair rather than skin color since the former are much less ambiguous) but I admit they are kind of ambiguous and very "anime"-esque (in the way many clearly Japanese anime characters don't look Japanese to a Western perspective) in their designs. I was talking about the delivery co-driver who was wailing on Nej in the episode. I kind of understand why they do that super weird lip thing but in the worst case its down right racist and in the best case (which this probably falls under), it looks stupid as all hell. Like no Western artist could pull that off without getting blasted and they already have "normal" looking Black people on the show (like that cashier at the burger place - though we never saw the entirety of her face.......:p) so I just don't think its needed or has a place today.

I'm told that they skip to an earlier chapter of the manga in ep6 so it's not impossible that certain chapters haven't been totally ignored.

For the most part I appreciate BBB being more episodic.

The Flamengers learn important lessons on teamwork. Diamond is depressed and hiding from everyone in Goto's apartment.

Looking at the summary, they actually skip ahead.

Blood Hammer was Vol.03
Don't Forget to Forget Me is the start of Vol.05

I don't even know who this Chain character is and I watch the show

I feel like I missed something or accidentally skipped an episode or something...

Looking good. Hope it deliver.

We won't know whether or not this works in the show's interest until we know if they adapt the
Chain being a drunken slob christmas cake in her apartment
chapter.

If they skip it. RIOT!

Well, her title is Invisible werewolf (lol)

This place survived a previous unseemly era, I think it can survive the upcoming storm.
 
Sorry, must have misinterpreted when I read that they were doing chapters "out of order" after ep6 aired.

It wouldn't surprise me if they go back to earlier chapters, but there's a great deal of material for them to adapt. There's 10 volumes of manga that's out right now and they shown that they aren't necessarily adapting it one to one.

Chain better wolf out on some fools at some point. You can't have a werewolf character that never turns into a werewolf. That's like a vampire character that never drinks blood or some shit. If you don't do the classic stuff, you're a ______ in name only and that sucks.

Well for episode 7 it seems they are going back and adapting a chapter in Vol 4 considering the title is E-den of Master Fighters where Klaus goes to a underground fight club.
 
I seriously do not remember anything about Chain. Like, it's not there.

I feel dumb

She's that girl in a suit that stands on lampposts sometimes.

She doesn't have a stand-out presence in any episode so far. The most she's actively done on-screen is run really fast from point A to B on the cityscape, possibly carrying things/people, while maybe talking on the phone.

Huh interesting then. I was surprised they skipped over that chapter since they seem to be adapting the more action packed ones instead of the slice of life ones.
