Ah, I should have specified battle harem.
The Russian roulette sister thing is a different class of harem.

I've noticed recently that there are a few styles of previews:
1) standard narration from an omniscient narrator - Moretsu Pirates
2) standard narration from a single character - Eureka 7 AO
3) dialog between several characters from the show in character - Sankarea, Polar Bear Cafe
4) random lines of dialog interspersed between random scenes from the show - HanaIro, Tari Tari
5) random scenes, no dialog - Oda Nobuna
6) just a title card - Symphogear
7) no PV at all - many noitaminA shows
Seems like it's become a bit of an art which one you decide to use, although the first three are the most popular.

Hagure Yuusha no Estetica 3
"He used his magic wand to set my body free" had to have been the most memorable line. Otherwise so many good parts Onizuka needs more screen time, and the magic looked quite nice. I also love the sound effect when the magic runes flare up. Best moment
. Easily made me forget about the girl on girl.

Kono minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai is a really mediocre show. It had the same art style as Mahoromatic that is one of my favorites, but the story is meh. Hikari and akari are of course FUCKING ADORABLE. It was entertaining enough that I ended up buying the series though. It was a real disappointment being one of Gainax's anniversary shows, as if they rushed it out to make the deadline. The music is nice though.

not watching Joshiraku and Oda Nobuna should be a crime!

This show is getting better each episode.
A harem show with the main protagonist being consistently cool and competent?
Awesome!
In this episode, everyone gets a wrist band "Arms Device" that manifests their magical potential into some sort of weapon.
Akatsuki Ousawa is so badass he needs 7 bands for his AD.
Hell yeah.

Understandable. Jobbing is an art unto itself.

Who wants to solve crime, when you can be an idol?
Not a bad episode. Good premise and it does explain some things mostly dealing with Kokoro that wasn't explained in the main series. Lacked some of the comedy and it really does show that Milky Holmes is easily distracted by basically anything at this point.

Oh, so that's where that comes from.
Anyhoo, Kokoro Connect is doing what it's supposed to do with the body swap premise. It's basically very small scale Quantum Leap, now that I think about it.

I feel like the scale is getting too big for a filler arc. If Oracion Seis is that uber powerful that even one of the weaker members takes out some of FT's strongest, then there's bound to be some major asspulls later on. I mean there's a training arc like right after this, so they can't be having something like that for filler.
They brought back the first villain just to have cool eyes!? What the fuck.

Hit and miss. First half was a terrible miss. Even with all this drama, I still don't care for anybody and their problems.
Second part was slightly better since Ash is a breath of fresh air. I was slightly excited to see Icarus but seeing the preview shot me out of the air again.
I did update my MAL and saved Slowpoke Well so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Good deal! Hopefully you can find the DVD for a good price too whenever you come across it.
Haha, I'm a big fan of Fate/Zero as well but things really aren't that bad are they?
Okay good. After watching Steins;Gate which was a 2-cour it looks like they still had to cut a lot of material so I was worried. It's not like being 2-cour will automatically make it good but it sounds like from people who have watched Chaos;Head being only a 1-cour was one of the major problems with that show.
Watching the PV on the site I picked up on the voice of Ryohei Kimura right away. Maybe it's just me but he seems to be in a lot of shows recently. The heroine soundsreally familiar but I can't think of who it is, that's going to drive me nuts. I know they say who it is right in the video but after picking off people like Ryohei Kimura and Rie Kugimiya after only one spoken word I want to try and get who it is without looking.
I liked Rozen Maiden for the most part when I saw it a few years ago. That battle at the end really was a highlight but yeah it was really disappointing how the end turns out. It's like they went for
an anime original ending but then still wanted to have it fit in with the manga as well with that really brief appearance by Kirakishou. As you mentioned though the manga is just as open ended.
Okay, thanks for that. I think that actually clears things up. I guess it was the little bit of a debate between those who don't want to call characters with just ears and a tail a furry and those who do want to label them as furry type characters which was confusing me the most.

We uguu now.
It made me laugh.
Though i don't think it was the intent of the scene...
Well, at least only 3 episodes to go! I'm so fucking tired of this pointless technobabble.

Kokoro Connect 03
Why is it always the orange-haired girls who have the androphobia...
Expected the episode to be about setting up the love triangle, especially with the discussion in the beginning and the mock confessions, but looks like the series doesn't want to pull that card yet.
Campione! 03
...At least now we know why they kiss?

"Too high! Way too high! What nationality are you?!"
I'm sorry this line from that Touou player # 6 reacting to Taiga's jumping prowess was hilarious. ahaha
Next week is going to be great with Kobe...err I mean Aomine getting to play. Also Touou's captain sounds like the same VA for Zoro on One Piece.

Then what would be high tier?
So a cat girl could be high tier, but it depends on the character.
If I am understanding you right.

This guy sure has a roundabout way of teaching people lessons.
Genius!
Second half wasn't bad. Good action and some dude leveled up his cockatrice too much.

"Hey, you don't think you're an adult, so I'm gonna pretend to rape you after paralyzing you just so I can tell you being an adult doesn't mean what you think it means."
Hey, it's that shot that's in every mecha series ever.

Pose made me think of gundam and a few other sword heavy series.
Fox girls? Demon girls? Boys dressed like girls? Girls dressed like boys? I don't know. I'm not the right person to ask.
Who the hell doesn't like those?

I do enjoy those, the latter more than the former...
Billiechu.
Unlike with Steins;Gate I think I'll have to agree with you in that I find the animated character designs better.
Actually the designs looked familiar enough that I looked up Chikashi Kubota's work and apparently he's the character designer for the upcoming From the new world. Double checking the last PV I saw, this one here, and sure enough there's his name in the middle at about the 26 second mark.
As you've already been informed it looks like it does. Although Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head,the very little I saw of it, both had that as well. They had some Otaku like themes though so it wasn't really that big of a surprise that those elements were in there.
Okay thanks. I figured he had worked on quite a few things but as far as animated character designer specifically, those were the only shows I could recall him being in that role.
There have been conjectures and discussions (for example, in here between 7Th and duckroll) that precisely mentioned his possible involvement in MAGI (マギ
Now that you mention it I do recall the conversation that the two of them had about that. It wasn't really that long ago actually.
From the conversations I've been reading here it seems like MAGI is a show that I should be watching when it airs...next season(Fall) I believe it was?
I did forget about this though, that's pretty neat how that turned out.
Me.
What is this from anyway?
It reminds me of the conversations people have about Makoto from Blazblue and calling her a "squirrel girl". Do squirrels have striped tails like that though? She looks kind of more like a chipmunk to me so I always thought of her more as a "Chipmunk Chick".
Technically I think chipmunks are a species of squirrel so both would be correct I guess, I'm just more familiar with squirrels and how they appear like in the most recent episode of Tari Tari.
Me too. Now I just need to find them and watch them myself.
This weeks episode of Dog Days'
Yes.
Opinion invalidated.
Need more rumors for Psycho-pass!

Welcome to sports anime.
And really, I can't imagine that they'll
lose given that there are still two more guys to introduce. Although I guess they can lose because it's pool play or whatever.
I don't like guns ;~;
