Oh shit, that's the Asu no Yoichi guy? I actually liked that show. Had a good OP. I should read the manga.

Agreed. This anime is already out in the form of a dozen other anime 0_o

After seeing the trailer, I was already thinking we were going to watch it.

Honestly the first thing I thought was that it looked like Infinite Stratos with ecchi.

I won't lie, this looks at the very least better than Estetica.
Sailor Moon S 127 FIN
Between this and the previous episode, it seems like individual animators had a little more leeway. It's interesting but at the same time consistency is nice. It's great the series had a proper ending that wasn't rushed and jammed into a single episode. Usagi's come a long way since that first episode too.
The more things change...
I really liked the first series and thoroughly enjoyed R but S is on another level. I had a bit of series fatigue going into it and I wish I'd taken a break before starting it as it's so damn good. I feel like I did it a disservice by taking it so slowly. On the other hand, there was more to this series and taking it slowly let me appreciate it a little better than I think I would have if I'd rushed through it. The big wrap-up had me excited like I hadn't been since episode 46 too. Strong from beginning to end, an all around better production, and some great new characters like Haruka, Michiru, and Tomoe made this something special.

Best fucking Pink Sugar Heart Attack. So glad to see her back even if she just left. ;_;

Show of the season.
Ugh gross, what's with all the fantasy ecchi harem shows this season? Get it out of here. No one wants these fantasy shows.

The plot summary for this intrigues me but it will probably be wasted potential.

So wonzo, are the characters (themselves, not design) in Kingdom as laughable as the use of CG?
That was a pretty dull burp!

Controversial prediction: Oda Nobuna will be significantly less enjoyable than Sengoku Collection
Probably? This is actually a harem show with a male protagonist but otaku are so incredibly insecure that the the promo for the show has to omit any reference to the presence of a character with a penis just to get people to watch the first episode. This is going to be early 00s eroge adaptation-tier, no doubt about it.
May El Cantare send an angel to retrieve his soul from hell and deliver him unto a place of peace.

I'll give it a whirl at some point. Though, I'd say that the 90's were better for me.
So better or worse than F/SN?
F/SN is extremely tame compared to some of the other shit that came out of that genre and era.

This Virginian power outage is annoying, or perhaps,lifesaving, as it made me unable to finish the awful onsen beach sengoku collection ep 13.

I hadn't thought about Usagai Drop, probably because it has a much 'simpler' story.
I must say, even Macross Plus told a more complete story for it's core chara- no, I can't say that with a straight face.

It's really kind of unfortunate that Ano Natsu aired earlier in the year.

An enjoyable episode where the girls journey to find what any awesome band of superheroes must have, a secret base. Yayoi's design was definitely the best although I did get a huge kick out of Akane's secret base. Felt terrible for Miyuki during hers. That was so sad, to see that her secret base was no longer a secret ;_;
But all's well that ends well. The transformation scenes with all 5 girls takes forever, it was literally longer together than the actual fight which was short as heck. The bad guys were already struggling with just a handful of the girls, 5 vs 1 shit doesn't seem fair at all.

It's too early to say. I mean, watching Xin go from a neglected orphan to a general serving under Ying Zheng aka Qin Shi Huang sounds like it has potential but the execution so far has been rather sloppy and unengaging and I'm not just talking about the terrible CG.

And then you started to find it hot, right?
You really need to treat yourself and watch some Souten Kouro to counterbalance everything in Kingdom. It's everything that an ancient Chinese rags-to-riches military epic should be.
If only their choreography practice had somehow made it into the transformations, they'd be a million times better.

I never get why this kind of announcement is even a thing. Perhaps most people don't have their PC/Laptop hooked up to their TV.

I don't and it's a lot easier to do everything through one hub, already watch all my Netflix and Prime stuff through my PS3 so Crunchyroll finally getting around to releasing a PS3 app is fantastic.
