Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Just the usual fan genderswap. Sorry to disappoint.
Would.
Sengoku Collection 19:
This is probably the least-accessible Kaneko episode for those who aren't regular watchers and had the most reserved direction of the three episodes he's helmed, but it was still good for what it was. Taking the form of a small countryside murder mystery complete with a Poirot lookalike,
is projected within a symbolic dreamscape where Akechi's subconscious forces her to overcome her denial and accept that
.
Notable within the episode was the reuse of characters from previous weeks portraying entirely different characters within Akechi's dream. Even with their identities changed, the relationships between these characters still paralleled those of their Sengoku selves, and through that it was possible to guess the episode's "twist" (
) ahead of time. For instance, the face of the murder victim remains unknown for the majority of the episode, however the victim's two sisters take the form of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, two of the three daimyo credited with the unification of Japan. Two "rivals" of the murder victim, Imagawa Yoshimoto and Matsunaga Hisahide, are interviewed as suspects. The only character that logically fits both roles (aided in the unification of Japan and had Imagawa and Hisahide as enemies) is
, and I enjoyed the deliberate clue-dropping through the use of familiar faces.
I'm definitely interested to see whether or not the show will actually decide to
, especially in consideration that the end of the episode indicated that Akechi's dream was indeed
. I don't think that a really interesting finale is out of the question.
Cold-blooded assassin.

Yes. YES. YEEESSS! I recognized quite a few scenes for even that, and I am quite pleased with what they're animating... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.....
Found this guy in the background of some pics I was looking through yesterday.
redheads are amazing, after all... and a dfc fiery redhead at that? good lord.. I think I'm gonna pass out.
Toshifumi Akai was heavily involved in Idolm@ster; he even storyboarded episode 26. Hell, his Twitter avatar is Makoto:
I really don't know how or why is he working on this show; he is Nishigori-ish in that he only seems to care about drawing cute girls.

Area no Kishi 30
The first half made me imagine just how actually good the anime would be if we subbed out Kakeru for Suguru. He has the better soccer talent and just gave a good mix of personality to the players around him as well as himself. The whole flashback with Araki was really good and probably my favorite part with Araki for the thirty episodes thus far.
This arc is starting off well with what I would have as my dream team for Area no Kishi, Onimaru, Yusuke, Araki, Kakeru, Ryusuke...all it would need is just Mako and Kaoru. Cant wait for the match.

Uneventful setup episode. Ryousuke's mom is cool. Next ep should be good.

Well the line between cute girls and pretty boys is rather thin. I mean, just look at Makoto.

Suddenly beach episode. Ayano, FIGHT-O! And yeah, Chitose is totally an audience insert.
Boobs.

Sengoku Collection - Episode 18
I'll be sure to watch these soon.
I'm pretty awful at writing extended opinions about shows so I'll just leave it saying that this is one of my favourite episodes of anything this year. Thanks Mad Pierrot for recommending it.
I'll be sure to watch these soon.
Here we go

Yuyuyuri S1 05:
Ayano's so cute when she's confused. :3 So we're going to ComicParty Market. Ayano's such a lost cause when Kyouko's involved. This can only end poorly.
Ayano cosplay... YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!
So many yuri feels!!
And we're back with the mountain and valley girls. The imouto is wise beyond her years. And valley actually likes Akarin? Stop now before you become just as irrelevant!
ODANGO BAZOOKA!!!
Chinatsu-chan...? Don't be sad... ;_; Akarin is so innocent and oblivious to the yuri around her...
Oh... THIS scene. I've seen this. XD

I can only hope that's not true, because Magi is the real hot thing of the Comiket.
okay, it's Prism Nana
First two seasons were great. Can't honestly think of any boring episodes.
I really like the show.

Kawamori would be proud.

At least until they all wholeheartedly give themselves over to depravity.
I knew you'd see the light. they play her up as fanservice occasionally.

I know where he's coming from. Cute girls are just more fun to draw.
Most guy characters are boring unless they are fabulous.
You are watching magnificence in action.

Fan of characters that make other characters cry? How is that saving an episode?
Megumi sucks and doesn't deserve Kuroyukihime. Made her cry. Saved the episode.

I'm not even paying attention to any of anything anymore. Does the LN make more sense than this or something?

Right, I don't remember all the specific episodes he worked on but it was key animation for a quite a few episodes plus both openings I think. Then he was animation director for a few episodes and probably some other roles on top of that. Agreed that he maybe picked some things up because of that.
He did key animation for an episode each at least on Gurren Lagann and Panty & Stocking too. There might have been more I'd have to check but I don't know how much those shows would have influenced him especially with P&S usually using the more western inspired look to its characters.

All I'm seeing is that she has a third eye between her boobs.

I think you've misunderstood what's going on. Rewatch the first episode, Nobunaga seemingly "dies" right before being transported to Earth. In the beginning of the newest episode, Mitsuhide has no memories, and, afterwards, we get the
dream sequence.
killing Nobunaga for real in the present
