Their names are guns, you will learn them. They have specific history lessons in most of the episodes.
Plus they come up with nicknames for them anyways.

see, I agree with that. PBS however... is fascistically stupid. BBC America (Lionheart TV or what have you) has kept the new series of Doctor Who alive MUCH, MUCH longer than it had to. But then again...there is that 6 month rule.
The US TV Industry has kept bad old traditions alive and let the good ones die. That's why IMO there is no such thing as "Conservatism" or "Conservative Media" only "Religious Media" and "Right Wing Media" as the Liberals correctly make the point. The greatest lie Fox News made was that the was a Liberal bias, no there was not - their is a "Religious Bias" that became a "Right Wing Bias" because even when the networks talked about these things there was always a sense that the media wasn't biased towards the main two religious Christian denominations. This changed in the 1990's and that's where we have that problem.
But, Ironically - we still edit shows based on the same models that Fox News say most of the media is against. So its all a bald faced lie. And if people really knew the history of how Roger Ailes sees minorities, from the way Rupert Murdock views them, that's one of the reasons they don't really Talk that much.

Not hosannainexcelsis, surprised. The limitless praise made hosannainexcelsis gave here week after week made me want to check it out and seems people there in that thread like it.

The introduction chapter is total boredom indeed. It actually gets cool when it gets to the waifus (except for deaf girl).

Accel World 16 (engdub)
Incarnation system is still the best system, always remember override reality. Sky Laker had a good eng voice.
Fate/Zero 16 (engdub, NA)
Lancer is treated so bad, all the verbal abuse

Love Lab - 3-4
Not a fan of the drama that that set up the group being together, but episode 4 was much snappier and enjoyable. The lingerie song was great.
Silver Spoon - 2-3
Ya know, I don't think the show excels in any particular department yet there's something about it that I find very pleasant. I think it's beginning to find its groove despite its jokes still falling flat.
Uchouten Kazoku - 3-4

Both episodes were very good. Even a japanese festival is taken to new heights when the fantastical elements come into play. While the writing and characters receive well deserved praise, the storyboarding continues to shine as well. I loved the brief visual of the parlor taking off like a rocket ship with the trees and grass blowing around it.

Gatchaman 4
I don't know if I can handle this for much longer. The episode felt disjointed and awkward, failing to establish a solid tone in almost every scene (salvaging the very short action bit). The storyboarding was flat-out bad, with characters popping up out of nowhere, no sense of visual communication and weird editing. There was a disproportionately large number of long shots, almost all of which were detrimental to the quality of the episode, but I guess they had to be there due to budgetary concerns.
The art and animation were not as bad as in the previous episode, but it's still actively hampering my enjoyment of the show. It really baffles me, but I'm just going to blame it on Tatsunoko
.
The script was kinda tiresome, and there was quite a bit of unnatural exposition and uncalled references (
).
I'm liking the overall story and the base thematics of social media and how society at large copes with them are something quite fresh for anime, but if the execution is so bad I don't really care to know more. I'll give it one more episode.

the whole conversation between OD and Paiman was pretty bad, with the two mentioning to each other things they already know directly for the purpose of... who knows? They were clearly talking to the viewer.

Gatchman Crowds 04
A weird episode. Cutting away from the action wasn't the best of thing to watch and everything kinda just went here and there without really feeling like anything was really connected.
I mean some of the individual parts of the episode was interesting but as a whole it didn't really flow all that well together.
Oh right, at least we still have that FABULOUS Mamoru Miyano voice.

The sad truth.

The full body stocking suit is about the only thing similar, and I think that's just Awakening-tier standard black-mageyness.

Kurenai 12 - End
I wasn't expecting that car chase. Pretty wild.
This wrapped things up nicely. The action provided for a suitable climax, and the Kouhouin plot came to a satisfying conclusion.
The two Kouhouin characters who were introduced in the last couple episodes weren't particularly interesting, especially as compared to the fascinatingly conflicted Renjou, but they allowed for some cool fights so I can't complain too much.
And the end, when Kurenai sent his texts to the other people in his life, it made me think how he's got the perfect setup for a harem, with all the main people he interacts with being females with varying degrees of interest in him. Not particularly surprising for an LN. I'm glad the show avoided going down that route for the most part.
Overall, a pleasant show. The highlight was easily the conversations, Matsuo's pre-recording creating lively banter and accentuating certain dramatic dialogues. I'd like to spend more time hanging out with the people in Samidare. The script was good when it came to this back and forth, and in setting up key backstory and characterization, but I wish it could have given a little more substance to the platitudes about strength and protection it offered. (As I think about it now, the best exploration of these staples of shounen manga I've seen is One Piece Movie 6.) There was some iffy character art in the middle episodes, but overall a well produced show. The action was well choreographed and animated throughout, and the art design was superb. I'm glad I watched it.

I appreciated that Murasaki found a balance between rejecting the Inner Sanctuary and not rejecting her family. Her parting with Kurenai and reconciling talk with her father were sweet.

It walked a dangerous road with the relationship between Kurenai and Murasaki, but avoided crossing the line into something untoward.

And like that, Kiniro Mosiac is the front runner of Yuri this summer.
Adding on, extra fuel for the fire, don't look if you dare.
The biggest mistake is that there are full fledged male dudes in LL.

Kenji Nakamura's biggest flaw as a director has always been his tendency towards angular, obtuse direction that lacks flow. I felt like Tsuritama was his best work in avoiding that problem, so it's unfortunate that the same team doesn't seem able to replicate its success.

Tatsunoko has made some nice looking stuff lately, such as Muromi-san and Yozakura Quartet, so I don't think it's fair to blame the studio here.
Picking this up.
