Nothing happens. Well Lisa gets a sluttier outfit and Luke continues to do what he does best. They also tried to give an explanation to all the devils and stuff, but it all kinda went over my head. And the last scene was really touching with Luke actually being nice, and to a girl at that.
This is neither the first or the last time Luke will make a girl cry

That ended nicely imo. Train running thing was cheesy and kinda meh but everything else 'felt' right.
Even though I'm not a big fan of melodrama sillyness, I overall enjoyed this show. Production values is top tier. Characters felt 'real' for the most part. Music flowed well. Good stuff.
8.5/10

Is there some kind of connection between the Pleiades and magical girls? The less than stellar Madoka spinoff manga, Kazumi Magica, had a team of magical girls called the Pleiades Saints.

History's strongest disciple kenichi OVA 2
Definitely felt half assed (come on brain's base T_T). Isn't the point of OVA's is that you have time to make it NOT look like korean farmed out hentai level of animation? I would love another season for this show though. Manga does get quite awesome/manly.
And ditch that cheesy OST.

Yeah, rights issues or whatnot aside, in Aniplex USA's defense, due to being written by Nisio, the commentaries are so complex they're probably equal in length to almost a whole extra novel, so it would be quite a bit of work on their part to translate them.Well, at least that isn't a no. I really shouldn't get my hopes up.
On the other side of the coin, not including half of the show's content would result in a gutted release.
The lack of a dub has been the best news so far, suggesting they'll try to appeal to those already fans of the show, a lot of whom are wanting this.
In this case it's because Subaru is the japanese name of the Pleiades star cluster but as for other magical girl things I can't really say. :<

Your first tag was good. Went from "stamps of approval" to "stamps of disapproval" to this. Poor Envelope.Lies, I was perfectly happy with my first tag.
Oh for sure the dub will occasionally shift to being quite bad, but it's still better than most anime and better than say Dark Cat. It's a pretty good space adventure overall and as you said I feel the romance actually works quite well, better than in other shows, mostly I guess due to the characters.

Well, two good shows isn't bad.

The Australian or British accents are pretty naff, but somehow there still manages to be chemistry between the two leads. I'm surprised it works in spite of the voice acting, to be honest.
It should also be said that Supers has one of the best rose throws.

I like the accents so that might explain why I feel this way about the dub I guess.

Perhaps it's the voice acting, but part of me wants to believe that they're all fake... like the Infinite Stratos dub. lol

maybe one of the most realistic high-school animes ever and one of the better 5 minutes animes.

Kenichi needs another 50 eps run..we'll get the tournament but plenty of other very impressives scenes as well

What's with all this fair and balanced reporting?
You should play Xenoblade.

Why don't you believe that my people have accents
Also, judging by your reactions to Eurkea Seven Ao - 10 I can't wait to see your reactions to this weeks episode.
Sailor Moon R 73
Good lord, Chibiusa was so dumb and annoying this episode. Just like Usagi said at the end, everything really was her fault.

I still like chibiusa though.
This seems like a very dramatic arc when there's still 13 episodes to go, but so far it's fun, Rubeus is getting desperate, the new villainess is hot interesting, and I bet the old cloaky dude is the real badguy behind it all.

I think that was really only problematic because they had already played the train card a few episodes ago. Unfortunately for them you only get to play that card once before it becomes too 'cheesy' for modern audiences.
implying old fashioned audiences would enjoy the repitition?

If only I had a hundred hours.
I'd tell you to watch an episode of Time Jam... except it's probably region locked on CR. You'll understand though.Why don't you believe that my people have accents

As for Eureka... I can't even imagine what kind of mess it would be if it's anything like last week's episode.
The irony is that the two plot device characters are better at living their lives than the three main characters who
apparently floundered in failed dreams for 8 years
Sailor Moon R 74
The dramatic conclusion!
A bit of Usagi's old unwillingness
The dramatic conclusion!
Seriously, all these problems could have been avoided if Chibiusa had just explained what she wanted in the first place. At least it seems that she finally explained to Mamoru.
A bit of Usagi's old unwillingness
to help when things were getting really hard flared up again, but at least now she's strong enough to overcome it by herself. Also she gets more shoujo powerups! Yay!
ITS RYNE TIME
I dunno about that, I'm a sucker for "train' scenes, esp ones that are used as a metaphor for the separation between lovers.
Jex
Member
Yeah but everyone knows you are a big softie!
Also, there's nothing metaphorical about being separated by distance back in the day before instantly communications. It was certainly a far bigger deal then than it is now. Skype has ruined it for everyone.
That's the funniest thing about films like say Before Sunrise - The situation portrayed in the film would be somewhat unrealistic if it took place in a later time period than the 90s.

It's at least a hundred times stronger than last weeks outing. I have no way of encapsulating how powerful it is without spoiling all the best moments, so I'll just have to let you discover it for yourself.
Imagine if the ending of that movie wasn't "We'll meet here in six months.", but "Hey, you use Skype? You got Facebook?"
Man, that sure would ruin it.
Fall season is saved

I finished Katanagatari, it's truly a unique anime and one of my favourites.
Now I need to finish Canaan and Cat's Eye, the first three episodes of Canaan were surprisely enjoyable I hope the other 10 episodes are similar.
You forgot Girls und Panzer

Little Busters! isn't smut, it's a classy Key story about baseball, friendship, and tragedy.
There will be an episode 13 on the last disc release.
(and yet another special in the limited edition of the next manga volume)

Wow already so many on my list. Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 1000% 2 isn't fall?

Oooh, don't mind if I do. Fall is looking pretty good.
Extreme hype for K and Robotics;Notes. Will check out Psycho-Pass, Zetsuen no Tempest, and TLRD. Everything else is meh

I dont know, the trailer for K looked like it has the best set of characters and action...Magi would have to have action in league with Fairy Tail and Bleach as well as deep character development like Naruto + Naruto Shippuden and attempt to have a linear and non endlessly expanding universe like One Piece...to own everything in Fall for me.
That is the way the Rukh flows.
Wait, there will be an anime of this this fall? EXCITED!
