I liked it quite a lot when I first saw it too. Haven't watched it since, though maybe I will to see if it holds up to repeat viewings.
Also, Taiga is best.

Well of the way they are splitting the series up, I guess it is to everyones advantaged to split it up. Though if this is for the manga, it has nice art. I love when characters hair do that, like Saikos. Well Manga and Anime have the more interesting plot of the three.

There's even people that don't like K-ON!! so I'm not that surprised anymore.
Miracle Train: Oedo-sen e Youkoso 06:
"Miracle Train I have a problem. My dad is the dad from Sankarea and is creepily overprotective to the point of not letting me have pets or friends and I'm basically imprisoned and now he wants to arrange my marriage."
"why don't you confront him about this"
"my feelings must have reached him because he rescheduled my arranged marriage meeting for a later date after scolding me for resisting his will. Thanks Miracle Train!"
ruined for marriage

She deserves every last bit of it.
You have to feel a little sorry for her at the end.
This should not surprise anyone. There's a lot to dislike about K-ON!
Didn't stop me from simultaneously disliking her.
My heart beats, but it is made of cold hard ice.

I don't really know about that. It looks pretty much the same as before. Unremarkable.
The colour balance and the lighting reminds of me of the promo art for Worms 3D. It's not garish or anything, but it's clearly not reality in the same way that Hyouka is.
The game ending was a bit too much though. Don't think I will ever rewatch the series though, nothing to keep me excited aside from early Minori weirdness.

Unfortunately, no. lol
Let's join together?
I agree with a DTL post. lol
It's very by the book. If you are familiar with military scifi tropes - which amounts to porting contemporary war stories and cliches into space - then there's really nothing necessarily "original" about the show. But if you like those tropes, then it's like going back to something wonderfully familiar.
So when does Spoor show up then? lol
Just make 30 gifs and then post them separately!

Re: Cutie Honey 2
So the way to revive a de-colored android is to get naked, make your breasts touch, and use your body warmth to bring back color to her? Good to know!
The relationship between Honey and Na-chan is really neat. One of the better love-hate relationships I've seen.

Miracle Train: Oedo-sen e Youkoso 07:
And suddenly, the show decides that it's going to try to have an actual plot. A fairly dumb-sounding plot, but I'm trusting firehawk when he says it delivers!
The bishies are cast into the depths of an existential crisis after the Miracle Train is enveloped in a rainbow aura and suddenly appears in an unknown station undergoing construction. This unusual occurrence causes them to think serious thoughts about life and one's place in the universe that we've all had to consider at one point or another, like "why are we anthropomorphized train stations?" and "why do we help to solve the problems of girls?".
This inexplicably leads to a dramatic sequence where the Miracle Train and its passengers suddenly turn to stone and begin to crumble, clearly symbolic of how the realization that we live in a cold and material universe and that our origins are a random product of the chaotic interaction of atoms undermines our feelings of self-worth. The bishies finally achieved the level of self-awareness necessary to consider their origins, however this new awareness also forced them to face the prospect of their mortality for the first time. The stone phenomenon immediately reversed and everything returned to normal, but the episode ended with everyone deep in troubled thought.
Also the bishies have decided unanimously that the masked Conductor is shady as shit, for the two perfectly valid reasons of a.) there are no conductors on the Oedo line to begin with, and b.) dude has a private room at the front of the train that he never lets anyone in.
Yeah, he's up to something.

Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection
I decided to check out the semi-recent movie reboot of the anime series and it's almost exactly like the new story in terms of how I feel about it: the story is fairly generic scifi (inter-dimensional aliens are moving a black hole to Earth to try to suck up its resources - what?), but it's still awesome military scifi.
I'll be the first to admit that it doesn't look great either, since it's a :wonzo special, but it's also a movie where at least 70% of the film is about guys on starships doing badass starship things like shout random orders and slap subordinate officers. I wish I didn't write this franchise off after the Battlestar Galactica-esque live action movie, but I'm on board now.

Kick the shota!
Action, action, action everywhere! There was also going on dates but all the action was really nice. The fights were fun and I liked seeing all the new abilities that were being tossed around.

It really is amazing. It's the no-nonsense badass "Navy battles in space" show I've been looking for... and it came out in the 70s. lol
It really as if someone rescued the great military drama scenes from nuBSG and put it into its own series. Now, maybe there are angels and FINAL FIVE and WHERE IS EARTH later on and I'll be severely disappointed, but based on the two movies and 6 episodes of the remake that I've seen, so far so good.
One thing I just discovered is that the remake pulls a "Starbuck" and genders-waps one of the main characters, creating a potential love triangle where there wasn't one in the original. I suppose they felt the need to do that to appeal to modern audiences. lol
All porn all the time. That's the Yamato tagline!

Who's the most prettiest of them all on the beach?
Beach episode and was pretty dull. Short laughs, not that much antics to carry it.

New Code:Breaker promo. This one is about Toki, the dude with the magnetism ability. Looks not bad.
Miracle Train: Oedo-sen e Youkoso 08:
"Miracle Train I have a problem. My mommy cries all the time because my daddy is dead so I ran away from home because clearly this means that mommy only loved daddy and not me."
"Call me daddy and we'll go ride a carousel together."
"This just made me miss daddy even more, and mommy is still crying. Thanks Miracle Train!"

Definitely better than the main character, or the first character they introduced. He seems fun and actually really powerful, based on these clips, and the sand.
Wow, the use the CG effects + animated effects = ROFLMAO. My eyes, they might never recover from this!

Looks lot less of a Blue Exorcist clone, so that's cool. Hopefully it'll be lots of action and less talking.
More than one month away.
Oh yeah....
I'm surprised they haven't released any pictures for the BD Set II
Seems a better drama than Clannad and Angel Beats, though.
It's the future of anime you've been waiting for.

On the other side of the equation, you see Eledore (see "yippy kai yay" man above) weep about having to be a soldier, placing his life on a narrow balance beam, when his passion lies elsewhere. You've probably heard the story in a different work.

It was a solid episode. I see Michel and Eledore more as the "comedy squad" now due to their scrap and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I laughed at the ending. "It was all so sudden." I am also curious as to the use of an outro song (before the ED) used this time around. Perhaps it's simply for the event of a

I like the sand too. Except for the fact it isn't sand.
Metal dust, considering the magnetism? It still looks bad either way.

Iron Sand like in Naruto?
Not available in my region
Perhaps someone could summarise.
CG "sand" effects that wouldn't look out of place in Fate/Zero, plus a generic looking "dark hero" type character.
Miracle Train: Oedo-sen e Youkoso 09:
Somehow a complete metaphysical impossibility has occurred and A MAN HAS BOARDED THE MIRACLE TRAIN.
And, true to Miracle Train policy, everyone's like "hell no, we're not helping you. It's your own fault for being A DUDE."
...except they decide to help him immediately after this because due to some law of the universe he's trapped on the Miracle Train until his problem is solved anyway.
"Miracle Train I have a problem. I want to propose to my girlfriend but I secretly like cute things and I don't want her to find out."
"You are you."
"Then I'll change who I amWAIT NEVERMIND DON'T TAKE ALL OF MY PLUSHIES PLEAAAAASE I'll just bare my soul to her after all. Thanks Miracle Train!"
