That said, there's nothing really approaching the depth of characterization in Hyouka from the episodes that I saw of Euphonium. Also, at least the first season of Chuu2 had an arc... bad, sure, but it had an easily recognizable one.

So ANN put out a 2.5 hour podcast about Type Moon with a Type Moon fan... and I'm just curious if anyone tortured themselves listening to it?
PriPara 45
When I said that Mikan and Aroma were here to overthrow the gods, that was one of my half-lucid ramblings that one of these episodes produce. It's the best way to watch something like PriPara. When your mind is in a relaxed state, it's open to accepting the oddities and linking things together in unusual ways that the fully alert mindset would reject out of hand. Or maybe that's just me.
And that's exactly what Aroma said. She plans to exceed a God Idol (who, it must be mentioned,
) and become a Devil/Angel idol. As if she was some sort of Chao. But PriPara is about dual identities - odd that an idol show would take up the mantle in a way that magical girl anime are becoming more lax about, and superheroes are becoming more open about - and outside of the independent city-state of idols, Aroma's attempts at playing mind games with dry ice and boomboxes and Goroawase and the number of the beast... just shrivel up before the authority of teachers and Mirei. They're not masterminds, they're problem children who are too caught up in their roleplay.
Next week looks to explain why, but what kind of person would want to overthrow gods? Someone with no sense of scale and nothing to lose. Even if it is being done to promote a fashionable arcade game, those desires have been expressed in all kinds of media. It makes me wonder if Mikan is smarter than she lets on, and she's merely been playing along with Aroma's delusions to keep her happy for some reason that's coming next week.
Still love "Reversible-Ring" as a song. The light pop way it combines musical styles makes for some interesting interplay, and the revelation that they'll be
is a shocker. I thought, being Lala's classmates and main characters, they'd eventually be subsumed into Solami Smile, but there's still two shadowed idols waiting to debut.
One a princess (as in royalty?), the other a hell if I know. Waiting for more reports from Animate. Kids' shows, merchandising shows, archetypes done cartoonishly... all can still have things to say. It's all in how the viewer interprets it. And I am a viewer. Now, as for my thoughts on the state of Crystal Tokyo...

Why are you watching anime and not watching this?
Why are you watching anime and not watching this?
I did watch this and not watch anime.
That's what you think, just wait for a Bit, the upcoming Episodes are good.
To be honest, it's even earlier than I thought, since I thought the Season would end with what's coming next.
Blood Blockade Battlefront 6
This episode was a rollercoaster of emotion between happiness and rage. I'm glad it ended on the note it did, I don't think I could have taken a sad end.
Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works s2 18
Shinji is such a creep. Shiro was reckless as usual, but I like him for his recklessness so no complaints.Saber's still the honored knight she is, /bow Saber, you're the best!
Seraph of the End 6
This episode was better than the last one but it didn't do much to bring back the show from the underwhelming status it fell into for me. I'm at the point where the start of the OP, with the loli vampire spinning in her dance with the initial part of the lyrics, is the best part of the show for me, because everything else is just not delivering the revenge, battles and confrontations I want to see, with a side of explanations.
Ixion Saga DT 1-11
This show is awesomely dumb and fun. I love the dumb sexual jokes, the overreaction, the stupid stunts our virgin protagonist pulls and I love the cast of characters. Animation and art isn't the best, but it's such a riot to follow.

Strike Witches isn't the same without Miyafuji and Mio but I suppose I'll enjoy this either way.

Haibane Renmei 2-13 (End)
I really like these kind of surreal shows that leave a lot to speculation and individual interpretation. Vagueness of the setting alongside decent characters goes a long way. It was good.

Haibane Renmei is so, SO amazing... but one question: While canonically there is no definite explanation for how the world shown in the series exists and why it is as it is, there is a leading theory, considered more credible than the others (even if it's not definite, because it was left somewhat up in the air intentionally).
So, after watching, what did you think was going on?

You can't fly those shoe thingies with pants! That would just be madness.
triggered what?
Love Lab is the best of those. Chobits is the closest to what you actually want.
Hosodapocalypse continues. It cannot be avoided.
NGE looks pretty good. Its visually very interesting. It just happens to have certain scenes that play out like a slideshow.
This sorta stuff is admittedly disturbing seeing what the grandpa is insinuating. This kinda stuff always bothered me a little.
Tsugumi should toss aside that gorilla so we can see her beauty.

Felt like some sort of whole after-death kind of situation. Haibane are those who passed away but have some regrets, with their Days of Flight being that they've overcome it and are ready to actually pass on. Sin-bound ones are probably those that committed suicide, like how Rakka is implied to have jumped and Reki ran into a train.
The whole situation with the town have actual humans in it throws a bit of a wrench in that thought, but since the whole town was walled off from the world, and only allowing Toga in/out, could either be a literal location in the world, or some other plane of existence. I actually thought the Communicator and Toga might have been Haibane, either Sin-bound or regular, that never passed on, but they never elaborated on that, so just personal thoughts.

Pretty fun to think about.
Character introduction goes up to episode 10 or something. Then, when you'll begin to think that you understand them, will begin drama. I really like H&C for the fact that it does a lot of things which you will not see in other anime like at all. Can't talk about them now, but second part of first season and season 2 (it has 13 episodes, so it's much shorter) will be really heavy on drama.
By the way, I'm looking forward to your posts of "wow, they implement ost really good" soon) I hope "Sakana" and "Yoru wo Kakeru" will hit you good)

The truth cannot be silenced !
Watching for that Eastern Front.
They should really decide whether they want to use the maps from 1914 or from 1939 to depict borders in this show.
Now it will have an actual chance of not being an atrocity.

Seriously, Love Lab is brilliant. Of all the anime I watched last year, it's one of the best. You won't regret watching it!
I need to up my game... I'm only on episode 31!
Yeah it is. Its also a gif goldmine! There is no reason why the show should be animated as well as it is but Im glad that it was.
I kind of wondered that too. How oblivious are these people that they dont recognize all the new friends they have?

Where's my flash-sakuga? Actually, seeing the animation become a bit better with each passing episode, i wonder if it slowly turn into OVA quality by the end of it. ED song is also nice this week
