Might be easier to toss everything potential into backlog and watch old stuff.
Of course, you have to catch up with Sengoku Collection whenever you get the chance.
Its a good classification. Monostache's are bros.

best villain, and he hasn't even done anytthing yet
Half of this was a standard
The great faces have been missing from the past few episodes, for which I blame Haruka and Michiru, but they were back in spades this episode.
linking some pics because Hitokage still hasn't gotten back to me

Chibiusa x Usagi routine, and the other half was absolutely hilarious, stand out points being the tea ceremony, Chibiusa's fight, and the Sailor Bishounen.

hahahahah, what does that even entail? Does it just mean that I have broad tastes but can still critically analyze what I watch or something?
At least hit me with the straight dope: did Jinrui crash and burn yet?
And does that mean that episode sixteen of Sengoku Collection was a Kaneko episode?
Or was it just superbly terrible?

You bet he does, Dakku!
Come on Mad P, we left your Sengoku seat warm.

1. Yeah, somethin' like that!
2. The Jinrui we knew for the first two episodes is, sadly, not here right now.
3. Sengoku Collection 16 was a very uninteresting and dull experience.
WELCOME BACK!
Can i be Boromir? ...oh wait.

I'm still enjoying Jinrui. It hasn't fallen off a cliff like Sankarea but hasn't been that great.
It wasn't episode sixteen but seventeen that did what you predicted back in Spring.

I see what you did there.
d'awww, thanks. Keep on practicing, you've got plenty of talent yourself! Now I'm off to sketch some hentai.
I love hentai. It's the best.

I believe duckroll said that 19 is the next Kaneko episode of Sengoku Collection. Hopefully he brings his patented brand of insanity and creates another enjoyable concoction.

Or maybe the Engrish is the best part of this episode. Nah.
Go home already Mudarame. Thank god they subtitled the English, 'cause that is some of the worst Engrish. They probably would have been better off if they just pulled an American tourist off the street to do Angela's voice. Ohno's English was bad too, but at least she's not supposed to be from America...
After playing hentai games with her boyfriend, Ohno is now a love guru.
Or maybe the Engrish is the best part of this episode. Nah.

All this love, man. I can feel it right here.
1. Surely there has to be some kind of Victorian representation of refinement we can confer here. What's fancier than a moustache, but not as fancy as a monocle?
2. Fuck.
3. Disappointment but will watch anyway.
State a fact in plain language?
Edit: wait, this must involve some plot point from the last episode or two of Jinrui. Somebody experiences a Disney Death?
Hype hype. Part of me wants SAMURAI FOR MURDER III, but ultimately I'd rather see him take the episode in yet another new direction.
Yeah I caught it too XD
I watched so much Guilty Crown while you were gone. Consequently, I'm no longer the person you once knew.
LOL!

HA! You got me.
The action is has is decent, it's just mostly hand to hand. Space tactics not so much action.
So, have you ascended or fallen?
I cannot say. All I know is I seek a greater challenge now!

Good conclusion to 1st of the two 13 episode blu ray sets. Bandai did a good job with the release here and its really quality subs, visuals, and sound. I didnt check the extras often I never play them.
Anime is definitely in my top 20 and probably already a 9/10 or 10/10 depending on really how I feel about the direction of the remaining episodes. I think Takuto and Sugata and head overshadow the underling members of the Kiraboshi just enough to make me look past their designs and actually really enjoy it all. Tauburn is awesome as well as the swords Emeraud and Saffir and all scenes are good. The schools scenes are great too. I wish we had more of Takuto at the dorm and at Saguta's house as they led to comedy especially in the bath. Takuto has been really amazing and Sugata too and I hope that school play thing delivers well.

It's the potential break from the usual that would be quite appreciated again.

Manyuu Hikenchou. Finish what he started.
We need to watch something truly abysmal together. If we could get wonzo in on it, I'd recommend something like Touka Gettan.
What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, seven legs at tea time, hops on a pogo stick at five, handstands at 7:15, goes back to two legs at 7:16 because handstanding is really fuckin' hard, six and a half legs at eight, and three legs until it's time for bed?
It was hard getting through that show i'll tell you what.

The episodes are on my waiting pile .i still haven't seen them AND a friend summarized this by " big breasts " but i'm unsure if he was joking or not.
Proceed Y/N ?
Proceed with caution, my friend.
fuck no x1000000000000
it's the most aesthetically repugnant thing in the universe unless you have severe dysmorphic issues in how you perceive the human form.
Still probably show of the season due to the lack of competition, but I still can't say that I'm encouraged by this.

Your friend's brief summary is apt. If that's all the information you need, then you know your answer.
If you want to watch a "good" show? No.
Ok, I see, things of that nature. I'll have to keep this in mind when next watching Mawaru Penguindrum whenever that will be.
True. Posts appear longer when you're typing them up than when you see the final result.
Personally I think people should take a look at the film perhaps at least once.
おかえりなさい. For what it's worth from someone you don't know too well, I too hope your personal situation and health get better soon.
Welcome back to you to hosannainexcelsis. I just watched the film as well as you maybe saw. From the angle of watching the movie itself I found the film mostly moves at a nice pace however from a narrative standpoint I agree that some of the times skips do make for an odd sense of pace at points.
Indeed, I agree that the sudden change in tone here makes for an odd contrast in mood. It does seem that it was intended to be a comic relief moment for the characters to let off some steam or to show that even amongst all the tension the crew still have a light natured side to them. It's implementation combined with the music and turn back to the more serious tone immediately afterwards is a bit jarring though.
In regards to the first spoiler
I'm not sure I agree that it seemed like an afterthought as the scramble button was always there and mentioned a few times,even more with just some of the camera work, I believe, as Tada was running around the ship. Although I suppose I agree with the vaccine not working and how the button was ultimately used seemed unsatisfying.
In regards to the second spoiler
I agree completely with you here, that the big reveal felt obvious to me that it was most likely an instructor and they simply tried to throw in a red haring. I mentioned it would have been nice to have some of the characters fleshed out a bit more because it really did feel it could have been any number of the characters with no change really to the final product. This was one of the big disappointments I had with the film. The way they killed him off rather unceremoniously in the credit sequence came across as a little awkwardly to me as well.
In regards to the third spoiler
I found the gender issues with Frol really interesting as well and was also initially felt really let down with the ending where it just seemed to be a typical guy gets the girl story. I thought afterwords though that maybe by passing the test she did prove herself capable especially when you consider the 0.1% and 3% success rate numbers mentioned at the beginning.
The post credit scene mentioned that Frol and Tada completed pilot training together so I saw them represented perhaps as equals and in the end maybe it wasn't so much about gender and her planets views on it but also more about the self and choices made and in proving him/herself in some ways it maybe didn't matter whether Frol became a male or female in the end. Although with all that said I do still feel disappointed and maybe it's just a long winded way of justifying it.
While I liked the character designs, personally I felt for characters that were supposed to be coming from different regions of space that many of them felt too human like and wished they seemed a bit different in appearance.
Personally for some of the issues it has I like it enough that I think people should maybe watch the film at least once.
That pretty much sums it up.
I respect the sound effects they made for them though.

You know Nobuna will the show of the season.
Welcome back Mad Pierrot and hosannainexcelsis!
It's a masterpiece. Watch it and the movie!
Yeah, it's Gainax's best work so everyone should see it.
realtalk
Sweet Blue Flowers is as good as it's gonna get.
This is entirely dependent upon whether or not it ends in a historically-accurate manner with
Akechi Mitsuhide killing Nobuna at Honnouji in the final episode

How would we ever enjoy our somewhat inaccurate genderbent history story now.
Admittedly it's not entirely unreasonable not to want to be spoiled. The Sengoku era isn't exactly a popular history subject, after all!

I'm glad you liked it! My viewing experience was fairly similar: I saw it on amazon for cheap, premise sounded interesting, and I bought it.
I think you and I shared much of our views on what suffered in the movie. I think it would have been to the material's benefit were it a 6 episode OVA or even just a slightly longer film in order to properly build and handle some of the content better. It felt like they had to rush too many things that should have been given more time to properly establish and work towards. Also, echoing your sentiment on fleshing out some of the other crew members
would have gone a long way in making the "who is the eleventh?" thing much more tense. It wasn't terrible, since a lot of the side characters were generally present and spoke or had some sort of defining action/behavior, but it would have gone a long way if it were more balanced. Then again, I felt the characters that were in the spotlight more were given pretty solid parts, so I can't complain too much.
In regards to characters, how exactly did you feel about
Frol at the end? Your impressions seemed generally positive, but I'm curious if you wouldn't mind possibly elaborating. Personally, I felt somewhat upset at Frol's choice to suddenly forsake this dream to become a male that had been the one thing on the character's mind for so long. My one conceit was that it would be somewhat believable that the attraction and relationship between Frol and Tada over the course of the entire exercise, but that was one of the things I would have liked to have benefited from the aforementioned extra time. Even now, I'm still somewhat mixed on my feelings for the decision, but it could have easily been handled far worse. It just bugged me that it played out the way it did when it could have been much more.
edit: Oh my, another They Were Eleven post. So many elevens!
I'm pretty sure he ascended. Narag is a BEAST. I bow down to his ability to absorb massive lethal doses of garbage and still manage to survive.
