Being Tenma is suffering.
Totally agreed about that ending. While it didn't ruin the show for me, it kinda left me with a bad taste in my mouth especially with such an amazing build-up right before that. But yeah definitely one of my favorite shows from the spring season.
marimo no hana
so it was a waste of time. Just a really mediocre 11-minute ova adapted from an ongoing manga written by Yasushi Akimoto, the AKB48 producer dude. Directed by Akitoshi Yokoyama. Intro was probably the best part, along with about a thirty-second sequence near the end. Otherwise, bad.
Also the VA for the lead girl (some AKB girl no doubt) is turrible.

To be fair, they have pretty much perfected the ability to maximize revenue:budget.
Good on you to see what amazing pioneers they are.
This why I wish Silver Link/Oonuma Shin go bankrupt, two successful Shinbo will be sign of apocalypse.
Slideshow future is far more worse than CGi future :/
But that doesn't say anything about quality!
Slideshows are cool when done right. Old Shinbo, Dezaki, etc.

. What a true hero. ;_;
Great mix of action, drama, and just a nice enough cliffhanger to end up with. A bit predictable though (
they totally weren't obvious at all that she was gonna have that baby during the fight, and they totally weren't obvious at all that the kids were gonna save the day, yo!

This is almost as bad as when Gurren Lagann's human civilisation went from underground societies to THE FUCKING REACHES OF THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND in the span of seven years.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
The difference being that Gurren Lagann was never a show known for its restraint.
P.S. TTGL is mai favourite anime ever because of that lack of restraint.
Are they so afraid of infringement they daren't risk infringing the golden arches of another WcDonald's from another anime? Also is is possible to post a picture of the MC not looking pathetic?Accel World 4
NICE CAR
Choirs are serious business. I know, I was in one and messed around all day.
I only read the first one. Artemis was a bastard, there were elf police or something and a magic bomb.

Kind of weird to see Suginto lose her cool over a relatively basic attack after being hyped up as some confident evil mastermind for the whole show, but w/e.

Hentai Shinbo?
No, Yu Yu Hakusho Shinbo.
You are in for a treat my friend
I'm pissed I didn't do it sooner. This show delivers the yuri.
Let me repeat.
This show. Delivers.
Who would've thought a show focused on mahjong would be so deadly with the GL?

Binbougami Ga 1 - That was alright. There were a few funny parts. Maybe a little better than the manga. I'll watch some more, but if it turns into an endless series with no progress or anything, as I expect it to, I'm sure I won't watch everything... I can never care enough to keep up with stuff like that. But this episode was alright, maybe good.
Arcana Famiglia 2 - I liked this episode. I think it was a bit better than the first episode. I wasn't entirely sure before watching, and even the first episode was a bit unclear, I thought, but I get it now -- this is entirely a reverse harem show. The shonen battle element's a smaller part, clearly this is first and foremost reverse harem. I haven't watched reverse harem shows nearly as often as maybe I should, but this seems like a solid one.
For the characters, this episode focuses on the lead girl Felicita, and three of the guys who seem to be the main group, along with cameos from two other guys as well. First there's the underling guy who serves as comic relief. He was amusing in several scenes in the episode, like when
The other two are the generic blond male lead guy, and the tsundere guy with blueish hair. Am I being predictable in saying that I think the tsun guy is better? It's true, though.
Apart from that, this episode is about the MC and her harem here trying to find a lost cat's owner. In the process, we see the use of several of the card powers. Yeah, they're your average magical powers stuff. Why not though, I don't mind. And it does help that cute little kitty find its home again...
... Oh, and did I mention that the cat has a strong preference for women? Poor guys...
So yeah, overall, solid episode. Sure I have a few reservations, but I'm enjoying this show. Oh, and maybe the best thing about this show versus a male-lead harem show? The MC isn't a stupid, annoying moron! She's actually competent and reasonably smart.

he got stuck up that tree, or when he was looking behind the paintings to find her... :lol, no, I don't think she's there.
This guy also helped out. And I"m sorry, but no, this is set in the 20th century. There aren't alchemists anymore.

Cat 2, Men 0.
Cat 3, Men 0.
Cat 3, Men 0, Women 1.
The MC got rewarded for her good deed by being given this dress by the cat's grateful owner (in foreground, and yes, the cat clings to her just like how she does with Felicita).
In contrast, tsun guy lost the day, because he said that he didn't want to help bring the cat home, but then did anyway. As punishment, he had to sing this song.
Aww, isn't his blushing moe?

I'm not going to lie, I know how to play Mahjong because of Saki
If you like those sorts of vehicles check out You're Under Arrest and Ex-Driver. Realistic vehicles and from the same automobile-crazy manga ka.

But it's not jsut a series about mahjong, it's a series about cute yuri-or-bi nopan girls playing mahjong! So yes, it should have been expected.
How so? they went from steamboats to gas powered cars? they don't even need fossil fuels to power shit, we see mako using his bending as a job
im guessing its supposed to represent all of the nations working together to make this big city
the jump in technology made the sequel fresh rather than more of the same
and this is in the span of two generations, not seven years lmao

It's 13 episodes.

The quality of the backgrounds in this series is quite impressive at times. Kircheis certainly proved his worth in this episode and it was rather interesting to catch a glimpse of the way Phezzan operates.

nope lol
a few shots couldn't hurt but it was pretty good up until the very last bit
I really really enjoyed Korra despite some minor misgivings, but I highly recommend you pretend the last two minutes never happened when you get there.
What happened on this ep and in screens?

Oh, really? But still, it's based on an ongoing manga... I'm sure there can't be too much plot progression. Still, I'll certainly keep watching for now.

Korra no Densetsu 11: That wasn't so bad.
, mostly. That shit's too bananas.
It's the aftertaste from
FUCKING MECH SUITS
I'm very much enjoying what I've seen in 11. I'm assuming there's some sort of plot twist or whatever that comes off-wall now. Hopefully it's not too idiotic.
copy pastin' wiki here
A new admiralty is created for Reinhard. He chooses commoners and lesser nobles to command his fleets: August Samuel Wahlen, Cornelius Lutz, Karl Gustav Kempf, Fritz Josef Bittenfeld, Ernest Mecklinger, Wolfgang Mittermeyer and Oskar von Reuenthal. Meanwhile, Maximilian von Kastrop has rebelled against the Empire. He thinks he is safe because of the "Artemis Necklace", a system of powerfully armed satellites built with the help of Phezzan. Reinhard sends a fleet under Kircheis' command to put an end to the rebellion. He manages to destroy the necklace. Kastrop is killed by his retainers and is the only casualty of the operation.
The screen is from when
the first fleet gets annihilated
Kircheis used gas from the Engineering squad to destroy the Artemis Necklace satellites, in which one fired and set off an explosive chain reaction.
Well I watched the spinoff last season so I've been meaning to catch up with this version. And I'm glad to hear it doesn't beat round the bush.
Thought that was it, but felt like that was way deep into the series. Goddam.
Now I want to rewatch some of it.

Achiga-hen isn't over, you know. There will be three more episodes, sometime...

Well it's a mostly episodic monthly manga anyway (though I'm told there might be a genre shift). And maybe the anime will get a 2nd season if it does well, which probably won't happen.
Keep on watching, you will certainly love both sides.

Fuck, that looks so nice. Varying ship distance from the camera gives that such great depth compared to, oh say this (rare) awful bit of Glass Fleet which was an abstract representation of ships in formation.
...those are ships? Wow.
Not every show has masterpieces like the knife ships in Space Pirates.
