So it is for the history.

I'd like to add that
.
And thus this story comes to a conclusion. Sad to see it go after six episodes of excellence.
I'd like to add that
the parallels between the Mayaka/Ayako and Houtarou/Jirou scenes at the end were great
Yeah, I'm going to push myself through that at some point. Probably not any time soon though!
Do you mean actual women of the Sengoku period or their Oda Nobuna genderflip versions?

The best episode by far. Very well done. I think they made the culprit obvious since the beginning and made it even more apparent as the show went on but the method and the logic behind it were the intrguing aspects for the mystery. Really funny to see Jun Fukuyama getting trolled. Anyway, very well done. I applaud.

That was the natural course. But was all that flashback necessary? Music is still fantastic beyond belief.
Wonder what's next

That was some weird shit...
Felt like I was watching The Fountain or something there at the end.

I would have never picked up on that. I get the feeling there are a lot of references in anime that I don't pick up on, especially in Joshiraku.

That was amazing stuff right there, and the piano Try Unite! was expertly placed for maximum effectiveness. So freaking goooooooooood. Good action, solid narrative and exposition of all that went into the finale of this arc, and great visuals. I was greatly happy with this episode and the conclusion. It was like, series finale good. I wonder and look forward to where else the show will take us next!
Also, I got lots and lots of mechs. I love mechs.
Sunday truly is the best day for anime.
Also if you were wondering about that one scene, prepare to read some science about it, cause it is possible: http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answers/970603.html

So many tears. A mostly satisfying ending, if tempered by the lack of SISTER.
But you know, given how it was all about "expectations", I suppose it was right that Oreki was mostly in the background yet still ended up being the catalyst for everyone. Well, it was his sister, if you want to follow that through, but that's a little too deep I suppose. What makes the episode interesting is that they basically all went through the same breakdown that Oreki went through in episode 11 (and the sister made it happen again. lol). At least now the characters know exactly where they stand and how they can move forward.
Looking forward to seeing how they wrap this all up, assuming they do anything big at all. I'm hoping for something just as mellow as this last case.
Hellsing OVA - 04 & 05
Alucard
Not to mention him
I remember the duo from the little shorts they were in at the end of each volume of the manga. It's hard to forget a boyish looking twin pistol wielding woman who's partner is a sword slinging Japanese nun with a split personality. So glad to see them interacting with characters from the main cast. Here's hoping they show more of them during the remaining OVAs.
Episode 4
Alucard
nosediving jets into ships like it's nothing. :lol
Not to mention him
impaling Rip with her own rifle. I said damn!
Hell yes! Heinkel and Yumiko!

Yeah, as they say in the link, it's basically like
diving under pressure.
Hey, Kaito and Ichika were on break too! lol
Low blow man, low blow.
I had almost forgotten that I watched this!
The father Panda is kind of terrifying, that smile used here is just disconcerting.
I don't think it really offered much beyond its status as a historical curiosity. It's far too fluffy and saccharine to be engaging to anyone old enough to know better, which is fine, as I'm far removed from that target demographic.
I originally bought it for £3, so I can't really complain too much!
First Hellsing is animated by Gonzo and it was terribly butchered and shitty filler end.
Thanks!
The first Hellsing started off fine, but went a completely different route than what the manga was doing, introducing villains that weren't present in the manga, etc.
The OVAs stay true to the manga, so most people who are interesting in watching the anime just go with that.
Oda Nobuna no Yabou 06:
Hanbei is a truly insufferable character.
I wish that the show would have had the guts to to through with

The preview for next week doesn't exactly inspire much hope.
Ugh.

Ishikawa Goemon's historical fate. He was boiled alive as punishment for thievery.

I spy one new loli, possibly more.
I'm glad to see Team Kanna is still strong.

There was some :chet in the preview though. And funny enough, the show lampshades the whole

I just realized Black Star says YAHOO in the dub almost as much as Naruto said Dattebayo way back in the day. Really hilarious.

Are you saying that you would have enjoyed the show overall if the ending was the slightest bit conclusive?
I can never truly hate the Hellsing television series because it was the very first "mature" anime I ever watched as a youngster and I thought it was the coolest shit on the planet for the longest time.
Still, yeah, Incognito was such an awful main villain compared to Montana Max and crew, although the concept of a vampire from Africa who had control of some really fucked up arcane black magic that even Alucard didn't really have a grasp on could have had potential if it had been handled better. Probably the only thing that the anime did better than Ultimate is that a couple of the anime-original episodes served to flesh out Seras a little more, whereas she basically vanishes by the latter half of Ultimate.
Logos Naki World will always have a special place in my heart, regardless of how horribly everything about the show has aged.
I'm ambivalent about :chet, but lolis are almost always universally terrible characters so I'd rather not have even more!

The entire Festival arc was fantastic, and it concluded with the best episode so far. Despite fearing that the solution to the mystery might be considerably underwhelming, it wasn't at all. A bit predictable, perhaps, but satisfying, nonetheless.
The direction excelled throughout the entire episode,
Even though Hyouka's technical quality has been consistently superb throughout it's entirety, the art, animation, and attention to detail, really rose to another level with these episodes. It's a shame that this storyline has to end, but if the last arc can impress half as well as this one did, then it will definitely be a success.

Oreki's deduction was thoroughly impressive, and far more elaborate than I expected it to be.
The direction excelled throughout the entire episode,
especially during the Ibara/Ayako and Oreki/Tanabe conversations. The characterization of the main four, particularly Satoshi and Ibara, was excellently expounded upon over the course of these last few episodes.

The new OP is not much different from the first, but I like the new ED a lot more than the old one. This episode was one of those body switching episodes, it just so happens that they're all at the pool. The next episode is why I started watching this show, so I'm excited!
You saw how much she likes bananas. Is it a surprise that she,s also a fan of tentacles?
That is very true. The anime did a hell of a better job portraying Seras' struggle of coming to terms of what she had become. I haven't completed Ultimate yet (as you can see my latest posts) but if what you say is true, I'm going to be very, very, disappointed.

Nobuna 06
Not a bad episode. The battle portion was nicely done, even if they did skip the whole post dramatic moment just for tension.
I was actually hoping he finally ruined history but I guess that isn't meant to be.
But at the very least, this 'arc' is done and we can get the rest of the Nobuna-era generals.

But then you hear George Nakata duke it out with Norio Wakamoto and all is right in the world.
She's a pretty vapid character anyway. It makes little difference.
Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse 7
Well that was a bunch of forced unnecessary drama. This and the previous were sort of a waste given it was an excuse to fanservice it up but I do think Yuuya and Yui weren't going to click further until they interacted in an unofficial capacity. Preview has me hopeful though.

True, but this has more to do with Fukuyama than Miharu.
