Medaka is very :Chet and not a total idiot either.
I also enjoyed that samurai flashback arc, although at first it was quite confusing exactly what it had to do with the rest of the series. I loved that Gao Gao Stegosaurus shirt so much I bought one. Still have it somewhere.
Eh, I don't really agree. He could find better :chet shows. Medaka herself isn't really even attractive because she's like some other worldly being.

Haha, okay I wondered if you were half joking because of what you said about Kanon but I wasn't sure if you really didn't like RSF's music or not. I've thought about it before but I haven't seen Air yet. The only KEY show I've seen so far is Angel Beats! Maybe Little Busters! will be the second, or not.
Ah, okay, so that's the details behind it all. It was a little bit confusing so thanks to the both of you for helping to clear that up.

No. Medaka box is mediocre, but IMO Hansode Shiranui is such a brilliant fun little troll that she holds it together somehow.
You should check out AIR. Its really short and the music is beautiful. The art is typical UGUUUUUUUU~ but its not awful. Its quite depressing though, but most Keyshit is.

Wien didn't disappoint, he's just so earnest and likeable a character, that I would be inclinced to argue with anyone who says otherwise. It was also nice to see one of the characters arcs progressing without being driven by the melodrama. Heroes gonna Hero.
That showdown scene with the mugger, amazing, it will be hard to top.

Well, I guess I'll have to check it out now.
Its watchable.
Especially since you made it through Divergence Eve and Girls Bravo. this will be cake.

I was more bored of Medaka Box than I have been with Imouto Ga Iru in all honesty.

Kino's Journey END
This was definitely a unique episodic series that centers on the mysteries of how any country's people interact within their societal beliefs. Having the story of Kino's travels told out of chronological order helps keep the question of who Kino is and why Kino is traveling in the viewers mind throughout the series. There are sure to be hidden explanations to the plot I missed in my first viewing that I hope to find when I begin watching it subbed. This is surely an anime that should not be missed.

I imagine it has to be some show tradition that if Ash ever gets a fire starter, it has to have been treated terribly for one reason or another. Hell only Cyndaquil was spared from any sort of trauma.
But, yeah, a Tepig focused episode.

Nice to see it evolve but way too much time being an depressed abused ex-girlfriend and the fight was too short as well.

Huh, didn't expect it to be simulcast by Animax. The English was cringeworthy but mostly cause it sounded quite cheesy.

Medaka Box 1
So apparently there's a genre shift later on? That sucks.
Not bad, not great, I'd say it was pretty ok, so far. The characters are about what I thought they would be, and the animation is quite a bit better than what I have been watching lately.
It isn't?

One Piece 11
So much unnecessary recap. Maybe it works better week to week. This little Uzzzop arc needs to wrap up.
I've seen this a few times so far and I'm left wondering if it's a stylistic choice meant to evoke the feeling of an eyepatch given the setting as it usually doesn't make sense given the angle.

That looked cool. I'm in.

Dude this is a weekly shounen.
One Piece becomes unbearably awful at this, even as a neverending shounen, it eventually gets to the point at times where the first 7 to 8 minutes of the episode are the opening + recap. Does make it a hell of a lot easier to marathon through.
Disappointing but that's a nice silver lining.

Origa?! Well, that settles it. I'll be starting Fantastic Children later tonight.
One thing I forgot to mention about the Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun PV earlier is that it's a rather good sign for the show in the sense that, if the staff are willing to take the time to animate (well!) a creative original scenario that presumably will not appear in the actual show, it shows that they enjoy what they're working on and won't be intending to just churn out the bare minimum necessary for an adaptation.
When I watch it on Hulu, I always skip to the first commercial break as everything before that is guaranteed to be a recap.
I'm hoping that Toei will do similar specials to Episode of Nami for other arcs in the series, so that I don't have to bother with sitting through the show's pacing.
Glad you enjoyed it. I knew you would. It was such a unique experience to watch Kinos Journey. By the way, what did you think about
the final episode, where halfway through you wondered how this could be an ending episode, and then THAT happens? Then it cycles around to show why Kino travels in the first place. I thought it was one of the most brilliant endings to anime I have ever seen, especially since its not actually en ending, but sort of the beginning.
Hansode is queen and others should bow down. Or face the consequences.

So theyve done Arlong Park and did they do another arc condensed into a movie?
I guessed I wanna see Marineford done like these even though I thought it was perfect in the weekly anime, even with the five or so minutes dedicated to flying through the battlefield at the start of the episodes.

"One letter will make all the difference" has to be one of the silliest trailer lines I've heard. Still not a fan of the color design, but I'm happy to check out the first episode and see if the action is enough to hold my interest.
She trolls the fuck out of everyone and provides vital comic relief. she's the best
Thats why I'm kind of worried that she apparently isnt much in S2.

Dat dubstep.
Sorry to say that you might be disappointed by the arc's length. You still got nearly 10 episodes to go. It does get better though.
They've done Alabasta and Drum Island. The former is apparently pretty bad and cuts out some of the best moments while the latter is pretty good, but is really more a retelling than an actual remake because later crew members are in it as well as a new villain.

No more Jie shi, thank goodness, he was awful character and just terrible to everyone. I wonder if he made Cheng Jiao turn on the bad path, hopefully he can somehow turn to good now that all bad influences on him have been defeated.

is a girl, what even? Well Im guessing since that the only reason Bi would comment like that upon opening the chain mail armor

THAT was sure something I was not expecting.
Even though I understand why the townspeople did not want Kino to stay after the allotted three days, I do not understand why the children were not told and had to be sacrificed. I assume though that some of the children, like Sakura, may have known some disaster was going to occur.
I now have two episodes of Haibane Renmei down and it looks even better on my HDTV than streaming online through FUNi. After this I will probably go back and watch the subs of these two series.
Ice Lightning

You could always do the same. I already know what is going to happen in Haibane Renmei, but Kino's Journey was brand new after the first two episodes. I know I am still picking up new understandings to hidden meanings after watching certain series more than once or twice or even more.
Yellow Comic Sans and with terrible spelling. Are you trying to blind me by forcing my brain to turn off all retina functions in order for me to never see something like that ever again?
