Lol, good stuff. Can you be a real boy, and be a real girl at the same time? Dun, dun, duuunnnnn
sorry I figured you were caught up
but yeah I think so.
to be fair the manga isn't that far translated beyond the anime series (it's way behind the japanese version)
230 would be beyond the season 2 anime I think, but events happen well before that.

Well at least the localization of the game is!

I don't believe you. I sat through all of 0079, Zeta, ZZ and CCA and Relena is making me reconsider how bad the characters in that really were.
Oh man...
IIRC Relena and Heero, LMAO, although to be fair, she can't be worse than that princess in 00, right? I have never seen 00 by the way.
"This is totally meaningless."
"This is NOT meaningless!"
Those old OG Toonami promos though...
They still needed the fat comic relief.

It's interesting to have a fight scene is a slice of life show. Some solid effects during the regular fights and the last magical girls attack was pretty cool

Gundam Build Fighters 10
Aila is an excellent character. She helps make up for the return of Kirara, who is still awful.
Watching this after Tanaka-kun and Gungrave makes it all the more clear how mediocre the overall art is. I recall One Punch Man got a lot of flak for its art direction, and this isn't any better. Fortunately, the mecha action is the centerpiece of this show, and that's consistently well animated.
You know, it's really sketchy that PPSE puts their own team of fighters in the World Championship when they're also the manufacturing company and sponsor of the championship. That clearly gives them an unfair advantage.

Aila is great, which is weird because she's supposed to be a Cyber-Newtype stand in, and those are all terrible. Once again proving GBF is actually the best Gundam show.
I don't think anybody was expecting great things artwise from Gundam Build Fighters given the type of series it is. That being said, that was another thing that took a hit during Tri.

Cabinetmaker of the Iron Fortress 07
A calmer episode. Ikoma formulates his desire to defeat the cabinets on something a little better than "I must become stronger!"
Mumei returns to twintails. Kurusu is easily embarrassed. Blonde dude is a dick.
Ani-sama is super bish

She's also an Allenby stand in though.

Who is also a cyber newtype stand in! Although her personality is quite different from Four's.

Oh now that was a pretty interesting episode with
The time travel concept is becoming quite interesting in the anime. Also Mayuri and Kurisu are great especially the former with her tootooru.
Man Okabe is really of the rail paranoid.

It is possible for kids shows to have good art.
Kabaneri of he Iron Fortress 7
The music actually carried me through a lot of this. It was really up-beat and cheery, it was a nice change of pace. Its nice to see a bit of levity even if the character stuff was whatever. I guess we have the Survey Corps now too. Blonde dude is Jean.
Oh my, Mumei's bro is so bishie.
Now that you've seen them all, GO! who's best couple?

Oh man I really dig the art style of the new Monster hunter anime/game.
I like how colorful it is.

A casino test sounds fun. Ren continues to be OP for the show. Though not as much as Black Knight Teacher. Botan was surprisingly good as a Priest. That was certainly one heck of a boss fight.
Netoge 8
Well, at least Ako didn't act stupid in regards to the whole ordeal. At least everyone else kept a level head, though this plan seems far more convoluted than it should be in response to a hacker. And why didn't Nishimura push the boyfriend/girlfriend angle when he had the chance?
Hold on, I'm confused. Which one of these was focused on an MMO again?

Don't worry, Honneamise is one of the greatest animation films of all time.

So Okabe is trying to go against a company called Stern which John Titor warned him about. Hmm this is becoming a bit more interesting.
I'm curious to see where Okabe's paranoia stems from.

Indeed but the expectation is so much less or rather the exception then the rule. I am curious to what you would consider kids series with good art.

No long-running show is going to have consistently strong art, of course, but the above have generally good quality art with plenty of highlights.

This is the equivalent of an American Zombie show stopping everything to remind you "hey we're set in America" and have the crew celebrate 4th of July while they cook zombie BBQ and play football.
Like we get it, it's an anime, come on.

Man those reports were unsettling, but I love how Okabe shrugs it off and says something else.
I accidentally added the t.

Girls und Panzer: Der Film
Really liked the new score as well. Some familiar tracks and some new ones, some more re-arranged hymns are also presented for the new teams. If there is one theme this movie likes to play it's familiarity. It doesn't reboot the franchise instead it gives fans of the series exactly what they wanted in which case one would say it's a fanservice film. But it manages to do enough to be worthwhile. Perhaps if you aren't a fan of GuP (what is wrong with you) this is a skip. But if you are WATCH THIS FILM.
The only bad thing about this movie is that it ended.
This was really really fun. More than worth the wait. It is basically about 90 minutes of tank battles with 20 minutes of plot to facilitate them. It was pretty much everything one could have possibly wanted out of a Girls und Panzer movie and they deliver on both the new characters and in giving most familiar characters ample screentime to shine. Parts of it are outright hilarious as well.

All on my watch list and I plan to watch them very soon. Even imported the Blu-ray for the first two from japan (30,000 yen each) just for the packaging alone, bet they look amazing in HD.
I'm probably not the best person to talk about it, since I really don't like it (no joke, I was swearing up a storm during some of the later episodes). It tries a lot to be dark and edgy like madoka, without quite getting why madoka works (though its not as bad as WIXOSS in this regard). There are some interesting twists, turns and character developments, but there is also terribad exposition in the early episodes, odd retconning later, less than stellar writing and I could probably go on. Also, Yuki Yuna is the Vann (ff12) of Yuki Yuna is a hero. She is pointless and the show (and its message/ morals) would have been significantly better if she just straight up didn't exist.
I say watch it, its definitely the kind of show that different people get different things out of it. Take my word as simply someone who has a negative opinion of the show. Watch it and gather an opinion yourself.

FMA:B ep.4
Holy crap at that damn chimera alchemist. I was not expecting it to go THERE abs be so damn dark.
He fucking deserved that gruesome death at the end, but his poor
that's bullshit man... Gotta give I to them there, that one pissed me off..

that piece of shit really used his daughter and dog after using his wife previously?
daughter crying as a chimera
Hmm you maybe right, that's a good way to look at it.
Are we sure Definitely not Attack on Titan is a one cour show? At the pace its going, it seems like it'll need another to wrap things up, unless things escalate like mad in the next few episodes.
Pretty good low-key episode. That scene in the shop wasn't really necessary - Ikoma kind of needlessly antagonized the guy, but aside from that, it was solid.
EDIT: Also, I kind of wish this show wasn't set in Japan. I like the japanese style they have, but they should have made it its own fantasy world. Same with AoT, for that matter. Knowing that its our world in some alternate future kind of takes me out of it.
I love that guy!
But yeah, he's gonna die. =)

Do you not like necessary breaks in the action?
