Yup, that's the part, I'd say take a pic of Mich tuning the fun, but I'm not sure if you can get a clean angle, lol.
Black Rock Shooter-7
Why Mato, that's a good question that I was asking myself as well. It takes a special type of person to admire a bird stupid enough to kill itself. It's as if a kid admired Icarus for getting so close to the sun. What makes this whole scene funny was the calm and relaxing flute piece playing in the background. So this episode addressed why Mato is screwed up, or at least I think it tried to. Apparently in Okada's eyes, not being a fucked up human being is being a fucked up human being. Mato hates anguish for reasons left unexplained and so her alter-ego Black Rock Shooter goes around killing these alter-egos of other girls, thus relieving them of their anguish. This whole sequence doesn't make sense.
It's other people giving their impression of Mato and it's taken from this weird 3rd person perspective, like something out of NGE, and people's impressions of Mato are pretty normal. They think she's a bit too happy or whatever but nothing that abnormal. Apparently according to Okada, Mato can't handle anguish and mentally blocks suffering out. But wait...
What the fuck? The first three episodes were all about Mato confronting Kagari's hatred and overcoming it. She didn't run away at all, she helped Yomi stand up to Kagari. Even still, not wanting to be hurt is a pretty basic human element. So what? Strength's dialogue mirrored my own thoughts on the matter. Right, then why is Mato having this meltdown?
Then we find out the actual Yuu is batshit crazy, probably due to years of eating eraser shavings and garbage. Apparently to her, a world where all people do is fight to the death, is a better world than ours. Hmm, I wonder what Okada's childhood was like. I have to admit I didn't really expect Yuu to talk but it makes sense. They really dialed up the crazy factor though compared to the previous episode. She's just completely gone.
Most of this episode is made up of Black Rock Shooter fighting Yuu. I'm kinda surprised how Yuu has hijacked the story. The OVA and previous works are oriented around BRS and Dead Master's relationship yet here the climax is oriented around Yuu/Strength. The fighting itself is really well done. I would say this is the first episode that I was pretty happy about not only the choreography of the fights but also the originality of some of the sequences. It felt like Imaishi had fun storyboarding this episode.
Unlike the previous episodes, I think this carried over Imaishi's spirit the most. There's a lot of off-kilter shots, meant to represent the insanity of particular characters. There's stuff such as a quick Inazuma kick and a Kanada dragon flying around in the background during one bit. It wasn't dry like so many of the previous sequences, partly due to Yuu being so completely off the rails, so she's fun to watch.
A was so into the action stuff that I was actually disappointed that it veered back into Yomi's storyline which just felt like a waste of time as this point. So she forgot Mato to an extent (despite deleting Mato's information after supposed brain-wipe). The police come aknockin' as Mato has been missing for a day, as she's in a coma at Saya's house. This is kinda of a weird reversal of the OVA. Saya takes a convenient leave of absence and none of the police go to check why a teacher doesn't show up for work the day a kid goes missing. The episode then ends with a 2D sequence by Megumi Kouno, who did most of the great Idolm@ster cuts. This cut was kinda weird as that's the only time so far in the show that the 'other-world' has been in 2D. I guess that was to show how Strength's viewpoint was closer to the 'normal world' at that timeframe (although that doesn't really jive as she only opens her eyes near the end of the sequence). All it did was make me wish more of the action stuff was in 2D.
A Gurren Lagann reference? Imaishi confirmed for bros.
Weirdly enough, this episode reminded me a lot of episode 21 of Kill La Kill. Black Rock Shooter and later Yuu's crazy faces gave the show some energy to it, so it didn't feel completely feel like I'm expecting one of the girls to take out a razorblade and go down the road while in a bathtub. Instead it was more as if one of the girls would take a match and burn the town down. Big difference.
There is deep meaning found in those boobs.

This looks kinda cute and slightly disturbing. Is this the same character designer as Shirobako?
That game is legit fun and I really really suck at it.
Not anime, but fuck I finally finished the Splatoon single player...God damn I had tears in my eyes at how amazing it all was...and the ending actually reminded me of a particular anime series10/10 Thanks Nintendo.
Single player is pretty addictive in Splatoon. I was impressed by it.
I can play a shooter as long as its not first person perspective.
Wait is this a Rocky reference Im seeing?
If thats true then it is ridiculous. This is why I buy all my anime
Streaming just cannot be fully trusted.

5D's is pretty much my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh series. I may end up rewatching it in Summer.
Also Akiza is the best.
This. always and forever this.
Do it for Cyan
Bingo
People like to joke, but it's actually pretty good! I was super hyped for Splatoon but always weary about how the single player would turn out, but it was actually really good!
The stages are very similar to those of Super Mario Galaxy, both in structure, as in a load of floating islands with puzzles that you have to traverse and figure out, and each island has a platform at the end that shoots you off onto the next island, kind of like the launch stars in Galaxy, but also in the platforming, as the paint (much like the gravity in Galaxy) changes how you traverse the levels and changes how you think about tackling certain things. Many leap of faiths to be had.
The puzzles themselves vary from invisible platforms that you have to spray with your ink to reveal (similar to 3D World levels) to rotating walls that you have to climb up etc. It's actually not that short too. In no way shape or form should you buy Splatoon for the single player, but if you own Splatoon, do yourselves a favor and play the Single Player mode. The combat actually trained me a bit to act more offensive and defensive too which I hope translates to the online multiplayer. In practice, I'll probably just flail as always
Splatoon is surprisingly competent. I was afraid they would screw it up but nope. they nailed it. If you have a WiiU you should really get this game.
The Fruit of Grisaia S2 ep.7
Damn, that is an awesome rifle she got there. It's a super power full pink rifle as well. I guess it all starts to go down next week. The final four episodes are going to be crazy for sure. I have to say that this series is crazy in the way th focus and tone has changed so many times over the two seasons. With only a few episodes left it really leaves you no idea on whetherI really have no idea how it is going to play out, which is an awesome feeling and 1 reason I can't wait to watch it each week.Yuuji dies or gets saved by the girls, whether the girls save him or all die trying, or JB finally wakes up now that she knows something is up and comes to save the day.
How prophetic is this sequence in retrospect
Something about the angle and composition of that shot reminds me a lot of Angel Beats. Probably a bad thing.
So finishing up Anohana and yeah, pretty damn sad. Thanks Crunchyroll for pushing me into watching this by not renewing your license.
Last ep was pretty good and I'm glad that it was a short series because I don't think I could have handled too much more melancholy from everyone much longer before the payoff in the end.
Guess I have to watch the movie to see if the romantic relationships end up happening or not.

So you may not have heard it yet, but Splatoon is great guys. Go play it. Fun single and multiplayer. Awesome shooter all around, and they did it with squids.
Ika Musume 5
And now she's an alien. Bloody Americans. Always warping the world around how they see fit. Ika doesn't have a very strong conviction. To school. I don't think she understands what education really is. Though she has a surprisingly strong knowledge of what the military bases are like. Principal just kind of rolled with it. And now no speaking as Eiko adopts chibi pet Ika. Cute, and they get along better when they can't speak to each other. Then it suddenly gets sad. Eiko needs to stop dreaming.

Comparing anime to things that aren't anime is always a good first step to keeping the fandom's horizons broadened, and since this episode doesn't involve much in the way of Meganee's behind the scenes machinations of idol politics, I must look elsewhere. And that is to Golan the Insatiable, which just premiered on Fox tonight. Mikan is an ingenue and a liability with anything involving food, but Aroma... she's really got a bit in common with Dylan, but the way they act out is indicative of the kinds of cultures they live in and the types of shows I'm talking about.
Why do people turn to darkness and demons? Hatoko asked this question in a long rant, but the answer is often one that Jurai could answer himself. "Because it's cool." Because it's rebellious. Aroma's Christian mythological take on a demon wouldn't been as as evil and troublesome as it is in America - this is a place where the West siblings can assume the form of oni and still be seen as just trying to be friends with her instead of being "corrupted" or something. She has a lot of fans, but as Mirei discovered, someone who could write that many books of their own personal diary, enough to make Encyclopedia Britannica say "turn it down a notch:, she's someone who's scared. Insecure. Her bravado is real, but so is the pain that it's masking. That she was the one who
shows what happens when that lack of attention and pain becomes too much to bear.
I don't embellish things (much) with this show. It's all there, one just has to be willing to look for it. Which is why I'm also glad that Makoto Moriwaki knows how to bend the rules of reality in what a kids' show allows for comedic effect. Things like Sophie's jellyfish outfit or her roasting a potato over Mirei's rage-fire are great little moments that let the show always have some levity, though the bright color palette helps too. Sophie's quickly becoming the best character for background gags, I've noticed.
Aromageddon's story may be typical for anime and this genre in general, but the way it's being played out amuses me. They're in focus more than Yurika and given a deeper understanding of their psyche (mostly Aroma's psyche) than Ranko - season 2 pending. Though Solami Dressing's ranking got reset at the start of the season, how amusing it is to think that in order to become a god, they would have had to make a deal with the devil. The show looks to be leaning in the direction of Solami Smile hooking up with Aromageddon. Their little blinky things say so. What wish would Aroma want granted?
I think it's to have friends. But by that point, she'll already have them.

You should really pick up the NISA Anohana boxset. Comes with a nice little artbook and art box.
This ep of Ika Musume sure got me with its surprise turn into sad land.

Do you wonder why i haven't written my thoughts about this episode ?
because we don't have the dragon theme song.
That's like the BEST PART ... the part they shouldn't have changed under any circustances, a pivotal moment for later ... and they rewrote it.
Words cannot describe my disapointment.
And yeah Ophis need to finish that moment/arc and get some clothes ..she is much better with some clothes. Too bad it's not going to happen this season.
That stuff was planned:The Fruit of Grisaia S2 ep.7

You get the full sniper training in the game AND her personal route has her become the 3rd generation. Asako is 1st gen , yuuji is 2nd gen.
While I have the chance, I hope there's some interest in Sore ga Seiyuu! when it starts this summer. It's like an entire show about Zuka, though less sad. Still, I think it'll be nearly as accurate since the original doujin series was written by Masumi Asano (Cure Mermaid, Risa Asakaze) - someone who's been in the VA industry for years and probably knows what she's talking about. And if it looks like a spinoff of Hayate, it's because Kenjiro Hata did draw it.
I think it has potential.
I think it has potential.
At least she is taking proper stance and postion unlike Angel Beat's wtf how is she holding that anti-tank rifle which could break her wrist like that.
Hmmm I guess that is true.

I really loved the action scenes in this episode, it was really enjoyable. But man screw that shitty Priest, like who the fuck would burn precious information filled with culture just because you dislike a nation. I mean there could be significant information about medicine or etc that could be helpful to the your nation. Seriously I hope that terrible priest gets what's coming for him.
Anyways I really don't blame the king for wanting to marry Arslan's mom. I mean she's really jaw dropping beautiful.

I played a few rounds with you and Kirby. Just need more practice.
a true realization of jigoku
That is because the main theme of Tetsujin 28 is in fact all about portraying an anti-war message (as commentary on Japan's previous war). It's very good at this.
But such an objective doesn't really have any priority in the other shows mentioned. Which isn't a bad thing .They have different goals and methods.
Or at least I'm sure hoping you did not want to imply that Macross shouldn't have singing or something to that effect.
Votoms is great and that brief sequence does effectively show how the battlefield can be horrible, but I do not think that provides anywhere near the same amount of depth or commentary. Nor did it particularly need to do so. I still think Sunrise's one true anti-war work was War in the Pocket, which is the only Gundam where that message is intended to have the highest priority (as opposed to a distant secondary or tertiary concern at best).

Someone finally listening to my recommendations.
And it took bulying zach into watching it and him recommending it before any of you actually watched it. Hidoiiiii
My problem wasn't so much that the focus shouldn't be on the characters. The ending feels like it's setup to a season 2 that never is coming. You mention Ping Pong, that is a good comparison. In a character piece like this having proper closure for the characters is very important to reaching a satisfying conclusion, that is why Ping pong doesn't end with the final match but gives us an insight of what happens next while it's not important to the story itself. If I were to flaw the show for something it would be that, it just wasn't satisfying.

Too many trailers, not enough shorts. Ibuseki might have actually been an interesting show despite the right wing politics shit. I don't know if the preview for the next episode of Rapid Rouge was trolling or a stealth announcement for a TV series.
They might be pitches who knows, lol. And I agree, not enough things trying to tell a story in a short timeline like the earlier ones.

Gunbuster 06
Okay, this was great. Amano has taken up Coach's mantle and deliver mankind's final hope. When she greeted Noriko for the first time it appeared that Noriko did not recognize her. The use of time dilation and it's impact on interpersonal relationships was magnificent and the best use I've seen of it.
The scale of buster machine #3 was massive, I don't know how it would even be possible for humans to engineer such a monstrosity. I love some good sci-fi designs and what was on display here was great.
One thing I think many would take issue with was the fact that the episode was almost entirely animated in black and white. Not only that but the final battle consisted of still frames that look like they may have come out of a manga. The dialogue was written taking this animation decision into account such as characters describing an object by its colour. I believe this adds to the charm and helps set the bleak tone of the final episode.
Overall, a great episode and a fitting conclusion for Gunbuster.

That's always an awkward email to send.
IIRC, they ran out of time/budget to complete finishing on all the animation frames, so they decided to go for the "artistic" route for the entire episode to be consistent.

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon S: Episode 109:
Said it before but I will say it again, it is episodes like this that really elevated the season of Super to the highest heights it is known for far and wide. Oh sure, previous seasons certainly have done well with melancholy inevitability but it never been as layered or as complex up to this point. Hakura and Michiru are a really good case study in actually how to do characters with a edge to them but without going into the territory of the absurd. Something that modern anime tends to struggle with immensely. Kill la Kill, Akame Ga Kill and especially Sword Art Online all come to mind in this regard where they have blood and goofy dialog but they lack the emotional content and depth of character to actually pull off the goals they set to accomplish. The first half of this episode is reiterating the themes surrounding the dynamic duo the passion of not only their love but their desire to give up everything and everybody for the sake of the word, the purity of the mission of the heart is apparent and why they desire for another path they believe to be bound by fate to do terrible things for the cause. They are flawed individuals though in spite of how perfect they are casted a good 90 percent of the time since their single mindedness and difference in philosophy cause them to be antagonistic towards the Inners and push them away at the best of times. Such is the case in this episode where strip Sailor Moon of her powers so she will not interfere and I swear one day there is going to be a continuity where the Inners and Outers engage in a full on civil war. At any rate the trap is sprung and the truth is learned and also in spite of trying to repress any and all feelings for the sake of the mission it turns out that Hakura and Michiru are actually human and their innate protective feelings get the better of Michiru and the first talisman is revealed and that leaves Hakura to apologizes a bit to Sailor Moon before showing she was true to her word and sacrifices herself for her mission. Leaving us on a cliffhanger with a transposed Sailor Pluto in civilian guise showing up at god damned last. Right, one of the best episodes of the series and highest recommendation to watch.

Man this is such a roller coaster.
Koshiro actually managed to get his act together but that ended up furthering Nanokas infatuation and she actually confessed loving him...while also lying in his bad. Thankfully Koshiro was a better person this time around and denied her approaches but man if terrible mistakes weren't close to to be made. It would've been best if Koshiro actually didn't call her as a weirdo and instead talked her through this calmly. That said, for who he's been so far, he hold himself well together this time around.

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon S: Episode 110:
Right, so leaving where the last episode left off, Hakura and Michiru made the ultimate sacrifice for ultimate destiny on as it turns out they pulled a Princess Bride and are only mostly dead for the moment. The Outers quickly go into mourning mode and lose the eye on the prize which leaves Eudial to grab the talisman weapons and make a run for it. After some chasing and some hijinks we have Sailor Moon and Eudial fight in battle that is actually kind of dynamic and interesting since it isn't bound by the usual rules of combat. Also, you know a power up is on the way when the finishing move de jour is actually blocked such is the case here. All seems hopeless until Setsuna appears in full Sailor Pluto regalia and does more in this one episode then she did in the entire R season. I need to rant more about how this show wasted Sailor Pluto all points one day. Anyway, though her deus ex machina talisman powers she revives the fallen and they get their power up for the season the Talisman Weapons and the Holy Grail appears and we get the first instance of of Super Sailor Moon who defeat Eudial but does not kill her outright. In fact, she gets killed by the next point girl Memete in quite frankly a rather cold blooded fashion for something like Sailor Moon actually. Anyway, you would think that all well that ends well but through contrivance Sailor Moon gets tried and everyone decides to instantly declare her not to be the Messiah because the season must continue to the next phase. Overall, not as good as part one but still a damn fine effort and highest recommendation to watch.

This has made my day!
I loved both Trigun and Gungrave, two of my favourite animes ever (Along with Monster) so I'm really glad this ones getting a big fanbase. I always wanted more of Trigun's mood and with the crazy characters so I'm loving that this is getting a strong following, i'd love it to be made it another season or two.
Need to see more of Zapp's assassination attempts on Klaus.
I liked this. Given the subject matter and anime, I found it surprisingly well handled. or maybe I just expected a much worse car wreck.
I remember someone was arguing that it was all intentional, in that it wasn't so much due to budget but more 'artistry'.
I don't buy it.

Another great episode with another incredible powerful sequence.
Anyways, nice dynamics at play here and this kind of drama really does require well written characters.

Damn if she ain't right, though Koshiro knows that perfectly well himself. Of course this co-worker of his was perceptive enough to see how strange the siblings' relationship was and so she kept prodding him after this especially weird encounter. It's also very apparent she's a quite good person that cares for him and there's plenty obvious hints that she is interested, or was anyways, in starting a relationship with him. So it hurts especially much when she verbally destroys Koshiro. If she knew all the details she'd probably empathize more with him but since he was so secretive about the issue, which you cannot really blame him for either, and is flustered enough anyways, how could he possibly convey all that considering the topic.
