I always hope to watch two episodes or so from a legal stream before I do a blind buy, but since I enjoyed the soundtrack from the series I may just give in and purchase it anyway.
It's a proven fact. And this recent episode was really good cause it had a lot of her doing a variety of stuff.

Well, pretty much this:
And probably getting me fired would also help
putting out couldn't hurt!
Mooooore OVAs, Oliver Twist?
Well...I guess Fatal Fury has two more for me to fill a 90's quota. (Ugh.)
Yeah, that's pretty much the reason why I don't like him much, he really just becomes everyone in the Dark Kingdom's whipping boy, from what I've seen so far.
It's true Jadeite is pretty much Jadeite. I had no problems with him, I kind of like his wig actually haha.
Zoisite has become a pretty interesting character in the live action version. Although the changes make him seem like a completely different character in many ways. My only gripe I think so far with him is
his creepy interests in Minako
I can't really comment on Kunzite as his introduction is the part in the show where I'm currently at. I just posted impressions for episode 6 a day or two ago but I was actually a few episodes past that part when posting them.
I'm not sure of Queen Beryl yet though. At times she seems like her anime counterpart in that she's got that cartoon villain type personality to her, which is fine. Many other times though Aya Sugimoto's, the actress portraying Queen Beryl, acting comes across as really overdone and very cartoon villainy almost to the point of being just kind of hammy. This is often exaggerated with things such as quick camera changes where she whips her head around complete with "whoosh" type noises. Honestly at times whenever she came onscreen I couldn't help but smile and not take her seriously at all.
Things may change though as I'm finding the show's tone is getting a bit more interesting and more complex than how things were in maybe some of the first few episodes. I've got a ways to go as I'm only about a quarter of the way through the show and lot's can happen.
Beryl really does start out pretty bad but she gets much better as the show goes on. A couple other characters also learn how to act better, like Ami.
Wouldn't even bother with the first two Fatal Fury if you didn't like the third.

SWORD ART ONLINE - 12
The kids that aren't dead or aren't playing by themselves ( like silica ) were all in there.
As for " what this guy can't do" ....well it's better to accept it and not be surprised ..
Anyway yui GM acces was still on .. and he does have computers skills IRL.. ( as this ep proves )
If you want to know about the army ,
the faction who laid the trap lost the power struggle and the army went back to helping the Floor 1 and above residents.They obviously didn't have the time to explain this

Hidamari Sketch x365 5
Chika comes to visit. They eat dumplings. A little later on, a brief interaction between Sae and Chika is shared that was oddly direct and personal. I appreciated it. It made sense to finally place more weight on the awkwardness Sae displays around her friends regarding her sister. It spared grand detail, but hearing some of Chika's thoughts on Saw's actions regarding their relationship was appropriate.
The crab that Miyako brought to the table for their dinner made me hungry. It looked delicious. The animation in the public bath house was sweet. Miyako's singing and the reactions presented moverments that were jerky, yet quite lively.
The episode wraps up with more Chika and Sae time. She shares her feelings about Sae's life and her longing for it. This development isn't unexpected when you see her wide-eyed reactions to everything the Hidamari gang offers in stories and activities. Yet, it's the one-on-one sitter time in dim lighting that helped pull the moment off. I was never a fan of Chika's introduction segment in the first season, but I found myself quite enjoying this episode and her functioning as a character in it. It was a pleasant offering to say the least.

I love the style and colors utilized in these shots.
They're clean and attractive.

Joshiraku ep 8
We need a zetsubo sensei / joshiraku cross over now ...
This will be the greatest oav ever made...

nnnooooooooooo ;_;
That's a shame. I really like their songs.
That's good to hear. I'm actually quite curious to see where the story will go in this adaptation. Naturally I knew it wouldn't be a 1:1 to the anime so I figured it would skip some of the "filler" episodes and events such as Ami and Rei's introduction would perhaps happen much quicker, which they do.
However, I was surprised to find out how quickly the show is going through other character introductions and plot revelations. Some of the plot points being covered happen more about 2/3 or 3/4 of the way through the anime and as I mentioned I'm only about 1/4 of the way through the live action adaptation. It will be interesting to see where things go in future episodes.
Kokoro Connect ep 12
Nice resolution to Yui and Aoki, finally now Yui will stop being a victim to every experiment that heartseed creates. Finally it's Iori's turn and maybe Taichi.
I really really like this third ED. Maybe it's due to the music and the way Ikuhara does it. It's hits a nostalgia string somewhere in my heart.

Ugh you had to remind me about how much I hated Yozakura Quartet. Song itself is ok though.

They did a good job making the anime designs resemble Tsunako's original LN designs. I'll definitely give it a try at least for that and Origami.

What a serious and overly dramatic PV for what I thought was a romcom.
From the director of School Days!
Actually the animation looked good, might give it a quick look.

Dat makeout scene.
at least they adapted this part well...
ENA will however be the best concubine, ever
Don't forget that the director was also in charge of Aria!
Edit: Oops, confused it with Akane-iro etc.
Yuri is my favorite.
I bought it recently after being recommended as hard sci fi.
Only seen one episode but its a good start.

Yea when I saw that, I was like damn at those camera angles. Makes every makeout scene I've seen in anime, other than in hentai, pale in comparison.

Persona 4 (3rd watch) 1-12 engDub
Do not even know how Im going through the anime for a third time but it is the case. Anyway Episode 12 is still awesome. How in the world is Ichigo that epic. The dub is alright, most of the time its just funny to entertain that thought that its either Rukia talking to Ichigo in the Velvet room, Ichigo making food for his sister at home, or Ichigo talking to Ichigo (like Yu talking to Adachi). As much as JYB tried, he just keeps reverting to Ichigo's voice for both characters. I think I also heard Uryu's voice in there at one point. The basketball player, Kou? sounded really familiar, Tamaki from Ouran maybe? Kanji has a good voice too and is my second favorite still after Yusuke. Though Kanji's moment: He's a dude that finds another dude intriguing? *blushes* does that mean he's...." my hopes. And Teddies bear talk works well.
Sentai was kind of inconsistent on the subs, in episode one they subbed the song Reach Out to the Truth (battle), but then in the rest of the episodes none of the songs with english lyrics were subtitled...a disc said Legend of Seiryu, but Chie said Trial of the Dragon, kind of confusing.

I may have to look at the art of the previous seasons, because if my memory of it isn't absolute turd the art in that is completely jarring to what I remember.

At Machi*Asobi Vol.9, Ufotable and Starchild will be announcing a brand new project on 10/6. They're also promoting the shit out of the general festivities (as usual) at the Tokushima Airport.
What could this project be?!

And to think people had thought the art shift from SynergySP to JCStaff was too much...
To say it's not 1:1 with the anime is an understatement. It doesn't even try beyond the first three chapters all versions have in common anyway.

Almost tempted to watch it but I dont wanna spoil ToX1 in the event it actually leaves JPN :/
Rukia Kuchiki from Bleach is voiced by Michelle Ruff in the English dub, Margaret in Persona 4 The Animation is voiced by Michelle Ann Dunphy .
Nanako is voiced by Karen Strassman in the English dub, I'm not sure who does the voice for Ichigo's sisters in Bleach but it's not her. Karen Strassman is in Bleach but does the voices for Soi Fon and Momo Hinamori.
As for the other characters, such as who does the voice for Kou, I'm not sure.
