Re:Zero #8
Very nice follow-up to last week.
I really liked how Subaru acted this episode. Things didn't just work out just because he started to take things into his hands for real now.
Like Puck noticed, he was a complete mess inside and just tried to put on an energetic, smiling, though guy act.
He does have a plan now, and things do seem to go in a better direction, so I wonder what will happen.
Also learned some things about the magic system in the world and the Jealous witch.
Someone is going to like this episode.

The scene where he just let loose and cried out everything to Emilia was beautiful.

Re:Zero 8
It was a good episode, but please let this arc end soon, like in the next episode. His plan seems a bit stupid though, assuming it's to go
. That's begging for another god damn rewind, and at this point I'm dreading those because then that'll add another god damn episode.

to the village and see which people he comes in contact with
Certainly Nick Creamer from ANN thinks its a highly entertaining deliberate comedy piece. I kind of agree with him most of the time, though theres some elements that seem like they are failed attempts at seriousness that have me doubt its all deliberate.
Part of it might be I'm unfamiliar with anime its mocking. To me it seems like its just mocking Lost, or what I saw of List.

Pretty good, but it's not beating Ikenai Borderline.

So u's stand is Tattoo You! from Part 7 right
Next week's JoJo better use this.
Attack on Trains has some big flaws but I'm of the opinion that it is a generally enjoyable show that is succeeding at what it aims to do. So far, the first batch of Attack on Trains episodes have been better and more consistent that Attack on Titans. Even for all their dumbassery, Ikoma & Mumei >>>> Eren and Mikasa.
Fan artsists really liked the most recent episode

)I only saw a couple of Another episodes, but I'll just say this is highly entertaining whilst Another I was bored with hence the couple of episodes.

I don't think it's a parody of anything in particular. It's just the latest in Tsutomu Mizushima's line of "Let's laugh at a bunch of idiots suffering" comedies.
Worse. At least we had a decent body count by now in Another. No confirmed deaths so far despite having 30 freaking "I only have one annoying personality trait" characters.
It's entertaining though just to see what happens next.

a couple of episodes probably means you never reached the part Another becomes good.

I laughed so much at this scene. It was like the most stupid thing that could have happened. And it happened.
I don't know, I guess as far OC go, Mayoiga is superior, since Another was mostly cake gifs/shops. Mayoiga provided a lot of variety(Giant silicone monster, two Koharuns), as well the memegirl of the season (Love-pon). I did love them cakes, though.
Also Mayoiga is generally more interesting so watch since 1) Anime original 2) Twist wasn't spoiled early by Mal/4chan/etc.
If they make Speedstar go completely Yandere in the next episodes, it may surpass Another in my eyes, I love some dem Yandere.

Re:Zero 8
The tidbit about Satella was interesting and I wonder how it will play out.
Barusu was kind of insufferable in this episode, more than usual, but I liked the scene with Emilia. Still, I agree with Woofington, I hoped that the arc would be over a bit sooner, it kind of drags at this point. I mean, the Groundhog effect is basically the show's premise, but it's kind of wearing me down. I hope the one on the previous episode will remain the last one.

Yep, and When the Rune Sparkles beats Savage Garden any day.
That was kinda the point.

Not as intense as the previous episode. But it's enjoyable that the character and group charisma manage to carry these repeats, even if there's the repeats, multiple aspects of these characters are explored which definitely helps things from getting stale because the setting is definitely the one suffering in this arc. The Next episode is very likely to be the end of the Arc. Unless Subaru gets himself killed, which I'm 90% sure isn't going to happen because he's got both of the OP maids with him.
Edit: Also I like that Subaru's encroaching insanity doesn't just go away and manages to manifest itself in according with his mannerisms.

ReZero was great again. I think we might have 1.5-2 episodes before resolution. It'd feel weird if after a bunch of build up it just ended next episode. I don't mind the angle the show is taking, but would probably have to agree that he can only respawn one more time (if that) before it starts to feel stagnant.
However, still amazing. Can't wait til next week.

Considering the shit he has to go through I can't blame him.
I'm suprised he hasn't turned completely insane yet. Also from what I hear the suffering only gets worse.

Re:Zero 08
Another great episode. Not much to say another than I'm glad to see he seems to be making some actual progress.

Experiencing Another entirely through Gifs with no context is amazing. I have a feeling if i ever watched the show id hate it though.
Clannad 9
Sorry Cornbread, i still don't like how this arc concludes. I can see what their going for and it works to a degree...but if you stop and think about whats happening nothing adds up,
?. I liked Fuko a lot more this time round though. And Sunohara finally got do something cool.
Oh man why did they back-pedal Nagisa and Tomoya using each others first names though? That was nice development then it gets taken away

You weren't kidding about episode 5 being bad.
Ace Attorney 5
Easily the worst episode so far. The Investigation was largely skipped over and the trial itself was rushed even moreso than previous episodes. I've little to say about this episode that's actually positive outside of Oldbag being Oldbag.
...Fuck, now I want a jpop idol with a stand. Part 8's set in modern day Japan right?

I just cant put Re:Zero as amazing episode, it just did the same thing we've seen four times now except with addition weariness.
I hope the the solution will be really basic like the other series that have done time loops traps before. I love it when its like that.

Re:ZERO episode 8: I Cried, Cried My Lungs Out, and Stopped Crying
Still really good. From how Subaru acts, to *that* scene, and even the title of the episode (Seriously love the title for this episode. Such a good parallel to Subaru's mentality here) serve as a reminder that despite this episode being much more chill than the previous 2, its still quite a grim situation for Subaru. His plan is a bit blunt, but it works with his mentality and personality.
That said, I do hope this arc ends soon, I don't want them to drag it on and they are dangerously close to having that happen.
Good Episode.

Ace Attorney 6
Well it was an improvement over episode 5 but I don't think I'd call it good.
Also get the feeling they're going to significantly change what had transpired when the murder occurred and I feel like they're going to fuck it up.

They didn't exactly give Gumshoe his proper badass moment to save Phoenix and Maya for starters.

Well now that my graduation and party have pass.
Flying Witch #7
Some pretty shots while they were gathering herbs. The ghost later on was pretty cute and it was funny when she realized that she was visible.XD Through that could probably get Makoto cursed or such from ghosts who would do that if you upset or piss them off lol.
Kiznaiver #7
Lol some almost yuri action. That was pretty sad of what happen with Maki and Ruru, and it really nice to see Maki finally coming around. Some great shots in the rain too heh.

I wrote it up.
But then I looked at what I wrote. I read it. I realized the time spent reading it would, even for people who haven't watched Crimson Moon, be giving too much time to Crimson Moon.
Also, don't do this Narag. You deserve to be happy.

Well I was right about them changing the circumstances regarding the murder.
Not to mention they left out so much info here.
It just kinda leaves me disappointed.
At this point I don't have much hope for Turnabout Goodbyes. If they screw that up, I'm done with this.
Well I was right about them changing the circumstances regarding the murder.
Apparently instead of pushing Hammer, Vasquez straight up threw him over her head to his death. And she had no help whatsoever, as opposed to having as least several accomplices. The former makes her claims that she can't lift the spear laughable.
Not even going to bring up that the guy who died five years ago was her lover are you show?

ReZero ep.8
Subaru was a little too whiney this episode, but it was all for good reason with everything that has happened. It's good to see that he is piecing things together and that Emilia x Subaru chat/breakdown was pretty good stuff. That ending with Rem and Ram (his beautiful flowers) was really good and showe that his hard work gain their trust has paid off.

Not a lot to say past between this and 2199 feeling like TOS vs TNG if they had the same story & cast but different production sensibilities. I also didn't realize how much the music of 2199 owed to this too.
More of an academic interest given 2199 than any sort of entertainment interest. Mature's been doing Leijiverse stuff on twitter and was unsure about this so figured I'd slowly vet it for him.
Not referring to the state of the Earth until the midway point then providing the above visual to tell the viewer everything felt rather inspired, especially given the age of the show.

Yamato 2199's music was actually written by the son of the composer of the original Yamato series.
Feels like that makes it all the more personal of a production.

Guilty Crown ep.14-16
Yeah, this is going downhill fast and Shu's personality has become grating. Between that and just how asinine the story has gotten.... I'll finish this at sone point, but this has dropped off a cliff story wise. I mean,
ugghh, wtf.

There will always be DTL.
I assume this is some sort of unofficial mashup. The lyrics barely match up with the song beats.
Actually, this is a stupid question. Nevermind.
