Some of the character designs are a bit funky. Japanese character designers should probably stay away from doing ethnic characters. >_>
I remember big, red-haired physically strong women being a thing back then.
Like Kanna in Sakura Taisen and Forte in Galaxy Angel.
Seems to have faded away these days.
I guess Risty in Queen's Blade is kind of like that, although she doesn't really stand out amongst that cast.

I don't quite get it.
Hah hah, sorry. Just my image of AnimeGAF being creepy while you look on disapprovingly.

Too bad she is such a poor character.

The voice actors are not solely to blame, part of the blame belongs to the directors.

which those directors should be plumbing sewer systems and sweeping streets. They should be nowhere NEAR a mastering tape. (or a "digital" master copy)

Alright, time for me to finally watch some of these newfangled current animus everyone keeps going on about so go ahead and lay it on me bros. What's awful and what is slightly less awful this season?

So far my to-watch list consists of:

Yuru Yuri Season 2
Yuri no Lagrange Season 2

If this discussion is what it takes to mention Sakura Wars or Galaxy angel, then so be it.

I kind of picture myself as the weird girl in the center right there. Except I'm not a girl. but I could fool a few people probably >_>
 
Admittedly, it's been a few years since I played the game. I remember her being a total jerk with daddy issues.

Most of her daddy issues problems only arise midway into the game, for a pretty good reason.

She's average in the main part of the game, it's only in the epilogue where people usually start really hating her.

I disliked her for being so undiversed in battle though.

Huh, Kanna has darker skin too.

Binbougami ga and Muv Luv are close to the bottom of the barrel anime this season.

Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, Arcana Famigilia, and Kokoro Connect are best of the season.
 
pretty sure that wasnt an option

Koutetsu Jeeg 3

Well now, the Great Jama Kingdom from Kotetsu Jeeg seems to be far more competent than the Dinosaur Empire from Getter Robo. Big robot giving you trouble? Attack directly with a giant floating fortress rather than attacking an friggin' unrelated island populated by fifty people. Well that's what I thought anyhow at the onset. Instead they possessed a soccer ball that promised a child it'd increase his ability so he says fuck it and plays basketball with it.

So far this seems like it's maintaining a larger, overarching plot with events alluded to in the previous episode taking place in the current. I figured this would be mostly episodic and it still might be though. I'm certainly able to get into it more than some other older stuff I've watched and I don't know if it's because I watched Koutetsushin Jeeg and it's nice to see the spirit of the original was carried over or if it's just a testament to the quality of the show. (Or maybe it's that sweet funky soundtrack.)


Not sure if you can strangle a giant robot but let's try anyhow to be sure.
