Manami? Lol. Wish I could say more.
Element Hunters 01-04:
Some AnimeGAFfers will appreciate the fact that the characters in this series have colored eyelashes a la Himari in Penguindrum and Ichiko in Binbougami ga!.
That'll be just me then! Also, that new sister/brother show with the brain-damage moe girls in it has the same effect. That's four shows now!
LAGRANGE - The Flower of the Rin-ne 22
Actually, is this the first time we've seen the Vox's in combat this season? Awful.
This opening stretch is great!
Freshman Miyako
I've had quite enough of these "teasers."

You must've loved Jormungand, then.
Headliners dedicated to lil' ol' me?
Feels like Christmas!
I like Chitanda. she can be cute, if not overbearing, but I got over the whole "ooh pretty eyes" thing quickly. They are pretty unsettling after a while. I think they overdid it.
ChitandaXIrisu as OTP!
I actually thought it was pretty interesting how pissed off she got in the last episode. That was an unexpected character trait, but I guess that was the Japanese obsession with always following the proper protocols rearing its head, lol.
Yay Nafe brought back goddess Minako!
Well, I was thinking about you when I posted that.
Man that sounds creepier than I intend...
That's actually pretty cool and I'm a sucker for interesting tidbits like that so thanks!

Ok, that's great. :)
Being a big fan of Sailor Moon I'll probably have more for you in the future then. Actually, I can tell you right now that the next episode, episode 21, is one of the [B]Ikuhara[/B] directed episode.
Are you serious?
OMG!!!!!! JRPIHJGpoiahepgajpgjesafa.!!
Hmm, the start of a new AnimeGaf pairing? We do seem to have the same favorite characters on different shows... I think anyway.
Haha,no, I know what you meant. I'm always up for a good dead eyes pic.
Bunch of anime appeared at my local "used" shop. Managed to snatch up the complete set of tatami galaxy on DVD for $12!!
They also have the complete set of paranoia agent ($25) and cowboy bebop remixed ($40). Might pick up paranoia agent next week if it isn't sold by then.
K-ON!! 02
I honestly don't know what the point to this episode was. Only thing I took out of this was the reminder that Sawa-chan is a really pretty lady.
And I legitimately feel bad for Azunyan. The other girls know that she wants a younger classmate so she can keep the club going...At least shes a good sport about the whole thing but man the other girls are big giant bullies.so they buy her a TURTLE?!?

I had a moment today at the day job where my students were writing 5 sentence "essays" about their summer vacation.
One girl wrote that she saw The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki and that she cried.
We shared a moment and proceeded to high five in the middle of class.

why did you feel it necessary to tell me that? I'm obligated to watch at least one episode now. Damn it all.
Also, more Element Hunters eyelash goodness:
This sounds like the start of some doujin...
[Gunslinger Girl] - 10
Well that escalated quickly.
.It was pretty clear from the first time we saw the crime scene that Elsa had killed Lauro and then herself. Lauro never took the time to fully understand his charge and this error, in the end, was fatal.
True, there could be some other explanation for their deaths but the fact that they occurred off-screen gives you a pretty clear indication about what happened to them. If they were killed in some gunfight than the show would be perfectly happy to show us that event occurring onscreen, there have been plenty of action scenes in the show so far. The fact that we don't see it happen helps to point us in the direction of a murder/suicide. I thought it was pretty ballsy that, at no time during the episode did they actually 'flashback' to th event.
And what of the Social Welfare's Agencies reaction? They obviously moved to cover it up, for their own good. The fact that we got to see another agency investigate the SWA helps with the world building of the series as a whole.
Interestingly enough the fact that this case hasn't been completely sown up by the conclusion of the episode has made this one of the longest running story arcs in the entire series
There's lots and lots of other things to talk about, direction wise, but sadly I do not have the time. I never even touched on the fact that Guise has taken Henrietta on a romantic cruise.
So what you're telling me is that Penguin Drum ripped off Element Hunters visual style?

I guess that's the horrible, unavoidable truth.
darkside vindicated.......or something.
Their Vox's come to save them in space, but they don't fight with them. And if they do, it's extremely brief and insubstantial. Muginami and Lan fighting at the beginning wasn't bad, but if that's all we're talking about for this season, that's pretty bad.They fought each other at the beginning of the season and they had space battles too. Not sure what he's talking about.
Do wish more shows used colored nails. The nail polish choices in Canaan was literally the best part of that show. NANA also used them to great effect.
So is Kirito being #1 on Newtype a one time thing where he'll just disappear off the face of the list if the show is no longer airing or is this another Kira Yamato situation...

Let's not forget the best use of nail polish.
the POLISH of POWER
Hells
So what does it say about me if I liked Dead Leaves and Redline way more than this?
I was really feeling the movie up until thebut shortly after that the "plot" starts spiraling out of control never to recover and nosedives into a hot mess that just keeps going and going and going...volleyball finals
This really has no reason at all to last as long as it does. I get the feeling that if it were at least some 40 minutes shorter I would've enjoyed it a lot more. Say what you will about Dead Leaves, but at least it has the good sense to not overstay its welcome.
Thomas Romain has worked in Satelight for ages now. There are quite a few European foreigners in their art department actually. It's interesting.

Romain was heavily involved in the production of Basquash!, wasn't he? Of course, if so that's also a very good reason for me to run in the opposite direction of anything he touches.
Kokoro Connect has more positive impressions in this thread than most shows this season do. Maybe you just missed it in all the SAO talk.On these boards I haven't seen Kokoro Connect pick up many fans
