This final fight was a bit of a mess. Regeneration is a stupid mechanic first of all. Why not have the boss go in a second phase?
The final moments were also wierd. Why did Bell suddenly have a sword? It wasn't the one that Welf lost in the last episode because Welf used it to shoot fire. All the other characters were also just flailing around I guess. That blue haired girl could suddenly fly and for some reason all the Takemikuzuchi guys had a lot of screentime.

Anyway. What was that thing Lili noticed in the middle of the episode? It was some piece of cloth with a sign, I don't even know anymore.

Bell's final strike was weak. He didn't even cleave him. That FIREBOLTO was brutal though.

Hermes also baited out a second season, we will probably hear something about that sooner rather than later.

In conclusion. I still don't know if it's wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon. Throwing people around seems fine.

Disgusting lack of resolution to the main and titular thematic narrative.

Lili is so cute. goddamn.
 

That last half with the music blaring and the bells tolling was really fun.

Think I'm going to have a look at that OST now that the season is done.

Soma 13

Seems like Soma is going to be in trouble. Everyone is doing okay but him by the end of the episode. Is cockiness getting the better of him? I'd say his inexperience with luxurious meals is what is setting him back.
 
My guess would be that some of the adventurers from the town found it.

There's also a sword here. Maybe it was just the random sword she gave to Bell.

Edit: I don't see the jack-in-the box marking on it though. it also looked pretty thick when Lili noticed it.

I also just realized that Welf broke his super magical item for just one attack which had no effect on the boss.

Best girl was obviously Hephaestus. Bell
's grandfather who is also Zeus for some reason. Why did nobody mention this?

Mashiroiro Symphony ep 1-6
So far, it's a pretty standard harem anime with the ladies all falling for the same MC. However, this one is a little different in that the MC is a tolerable guy for some reason. Also, for the first time, I think I like the tsundere chick the best. The story has been gradually building, but hasn't been amazing and/or filled with drama. There is an interesting background tone to this one as well, so let's see what happens next. ...

We should start a twitter campaign!! Although I'm sure there's one running somewhere in Japan...

How popular has this series been over there, anyway? I know there was the doujin craze but I don't know how well that can actually be used as a metric.

oops you put that backwards! But I fixed it no worries!
 
Soma - 13

There isn't terribly much plot progression, however they spend a lot of time on the dishes and everyone reactions thereof, which I enjoy quite a lot. It's not like the overarching plot is what I'm all that interested in anyways.

I can understand them taking this slow since the next arc is very long, they probably have a specific place they want to stop for a s2 hook
 
Shokugeki no Soma - 13

I like the attention to small visual details, little things like adding a skull to Megumi's hairpin during the "intimidating return" for example. That whole scene, especially Soma, got a good laugh out of me. Silly stuff like this is one of my favorite things about the show.
It was fun to see the big shot students meddle and their interactions. That new girl looks like a she'll be a good addition, I like her already.

I don't like it when characters do fucked up shit and get no comeuppance. Lili was a huge prick. But then she gets rescued because hur dur pure protag.

You dont like character growth?
Lots of characters do fucked up shit and then become better.
Lili grew up with very difficult circumstances and just did what she could to survive.
If you dont like her character, thats fine, but she is definitely the best :)

Lili is best

See even Theonik knows!

I dunno, while I'm a big fan of Hestia...Lili is really charming too? I feel like her inclusion added a lot to Bell's growing party.

Bell was helping her survive plenty but she still kept stealing from him and then left him to die.

She didn't grow at all, she just ended up trying to ride his dick.


She's trash.

I'm aware that that was Hestia's whole character, but at least she knew what she wanted from the beginning, and wasn't a huge asshole.

Yeah. Bell's party dynamic was one of the better things in the later episodes. Lili fits in nicely. Unlike Hestia who feels out of place. She had no real reason to be in the dungeon, Hestia was only there for harem related things. Her competing for Bell was pretty enjoyable though.

From the last page, but this is for Cajun..that cute smile bud..

The party dynamic by the end was great IMO. Lili earned her place and Hestia kept on being the best big boob "loli" goddess she could.

I agree that Hestia doesn't really feel like she's part of his party. Which she isn't. There was a clearer separation of her as mother/Goddess figure in the later episodes, and Bell's group became more tightly knit.

I can understand being upset about Lili's earlier betrayal, but I think she more than makes up for it in the story after that point. And Bell is just a forgiving person, which is what makes him endearing and encourages you to root for him.

I do hope we get more character development for Bell, as he's still sort of a blank slate shonen archetype, but his current personality's softness does allow for a lot of fun interactions between the greater network of characters.

As we thought, I think this was just the start of the story. If they do it right, this was all just a prelude to the rest of the story since no goal has been accomplished yet. They can go a long way with the world, lore and characters involved.
 
Food Wars! Shokugeki No Soma ep 13

The Anime of the Season delivers yet again.

Honestly, this was pretty much a flawless episode,
(especially that intro, it was great)
and I love how they always manage to get you so excited for the next one.

In other news, does anyone also not feel prepared for the end of Plastic Memories tomorrow?
I´m prepared to get my feelings shattered.
 
Free! Eternal Summer EngDub Episode 1

Nagisa Hazuki sounds the best in the dub, while everyone else I grew to like. Favorite dub moment was their lines at the club showcase when they run on stage and say those silly lines, as well as also Rin saying he will light a fire in Haru, sounded so lovely in english.

Best girl is here people.

I'm going to have to watch this now...

Both Soma and Euphonium have been a showcase of fantastic visuals (technically or otherwise) this spring and I have yet to see either.

The only problem I have with Soma is that I'm on a diet~
