I getting impression the author actually always wanted to write that kind of story and the parenting part just a big buildup.. but the audience clearly doesn't like it (for obvious reason lol) and cut short.

That sounds about right. Rin is certainly idealized, but not so much so that it feels impossible.
Yeah I was meaning more it was just FukuJun playing the main lead hence the "Not" rather than it being Lelouch in another show.
Fetishes are interesting. I never got the idea of hating on fetishes. Its like if you have it cool, if you don't, skip it.
"Golden stuff".... 
I'm reminded of a Railgun doujin on that second part, though...
Darkside tellin it like it is.
Pirates is sooooo awesome. I was so excited when it was announced and it totally delivered.
but wheres my figurines?!
Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan Episode 17: Yea, Linked Horizon has really grown on me these past few weeks. Anyway, we finally return to no only the action but also the extended recapping. Indeed we see the Survey Corp taking down some normal titans when the new scourge
appears.
We see this new threat wipe out an entire flank of soldiers while Amin goes into deduction mode and drops a lot of information.
Anyway, nice to see the action in this show once again, and nice to see Armin making himself useful.
The Female Titan Shifter
Yea, for those worried about this becoming a mech show, it looks like your fears were justified.
By the way, pay attention to the conversation Armin was having, either Renier or Jean is a traitor based on the revelations Armin had about where Eren's location is. Indeed somebody seems to have been running some counter ops.
I just assumed that was sort of a fail-safe to prevent counterops. Provide everyone with a different location so no one knows for sure.

More like that's the only thing the show still has going on for it.
Well that was about the only problem I had with the show. And it wasnt really a problem, just that Rin felt more like a small adult than a child. And thats I think why I prefer Aishiteruze Baby. It has a more realistic feeling kid.
And speaking of the unusual way Rin was raised and her maturity, I assume thats the lynchpin used to justify where the manga goes. Which from what I understand it fails at.
Well, the other thing is
Armin has deduced that Armored and Colossal are Titan Shifters.
Doki Doki! Precure 27
Progress! We finally have a new opening with Regina and Ace (though it occurs to me that Regina's kinda been out of the show for some time now), a new eyecatch and a new ending with a bigger, flashier concert. The tune's pretty catchy, too. I liked what I heard for the first time around.
So now we finally know a thing or two about Aguri's home life. She lives with her grandma and is otherwise a normal kid. She was chosen sometime after Ai hatched (does Johnny Klondike know about this?), and grows bigger because she has big dreams.
That should've been something of a clue. Lovely Force Arrow upgraded because everyone has the glowy, Gula literally chewing the scenery... combined with all the tea ceremony stuff and this episode was about 120% Japanese.
I am glad to see they're finally pulling back the curtain on Aguri. Now she has a reason why she can only appear for brief moments at a time, pose, attack and leave. Though of course, the Selfish respond to that by making MotWs that she can't just one-shot. The problems of midseason. I understand why these glowy episodes were needed, and some of them were pretty good, but this is a sign that things are starting to move forward.

But she can only hold her form for five minutes. I should've noticed this sooner, because her character song was titled "5minutes".

Yes and it reveals a traitor, how else does the Female Titan to now go to the Center Left where Eren is most likely located.

Kirbyguy's Interperation of DokiDoki Precure 27
So we figure out Cure Ace's weakness immediately before the intro
Desserts also revert her into a child like attitude, showing she's still a child at heart even if she acts mature.
Something was mentioned about King Selfish and Regina, but fuck if I understood anything of it, I only understood King Selfish and Regina. But hey, we know Aguri tries to be fancy and is normal, and apparently something happened when Ai hatched. Guessing the choosing process. Fuck.
OP change is obviously lazy, although it has a shot of Cure Ace and Red Regina on the same slide, so there's something. Not much Ace in the new intro. Lazy. Eyecatch sequences, I like the first one, it has everyone in it, and does a Art transition into anime art. However, the eyecatch after the commercial has to be the laziest fucking thing I've seen. like... it barely changed at all, it was just slapping Cure Ace in at the end. Wooooow. woooow. Aguri clearly stole the budget.
Look at all that Cure merchandising, jesus christ. but yeah.

Rin's maturity isn't unrealistic, considering her circumstances. Although because of that, I'd expect her to have more difficulties integrating into society than she did; she pretty much got over that after the first episode. I just would have liked to see a little bit more of the messy side of parenting, along the lines of Wolf Children. Everything is seen though a rose-colored lens, and we don't get a good sense of what had to be sacrificed to be a parent.
But perhaps I am asking for something that would spoil the gently beautiful mood of the show. It's true that the one time it gets into some mild drama, in the episode about Haruko, it doesn't come off very well, so I'm certainly glad it didn't go any more in that direction.
I don't know, I mean, Daikichi has to take a worse job, and he basically has no life any more besides taking care of Rin.

That it does. Considering how lazy they have been with one of the eye catches and the altered intro, maybe they're making a full transition next time? Nah.

Which order do you prefer The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? Chronological or broadcast order?
Probably have that whole team hard at work on Sailor Moon.

CG Sailor Moon future is coming!
Yeah, I thought they played that drum well enough, that Daikichi sacrifices quite a bit. Heck, they even show him dealing with bed-wetting. The only thing we don't see, I guess, is Rin misbehaving. But we do get plenty of that from Kouki.

It's one of these show i rewatch often for fun ..the fact that the cast is made mainly of girl that hold their own by therselves is a big plus.marika in particular that manage to keep her highschool girl attitude ( not over used ) while still being able to act and make the right decision if needed.
Alright ending ..heartcatch 2nd ED is still unmatched.
Call me crazy, but I don't think being raised by your aged grampa or being ahead of the curb in terms of maturity spells out

Monogatari S2 Episode 05
Great conclusion to this arc with
but man that
was heartbreaking for me. ;_;
I partly blame the fact that Hanekawa is my favorite of the bunch but this was all an overdue development for her and I'm happy with how her story ended.

This played like your average Saint Seiya episode with
. To be fair I think I just don't buy
.
P.S. Doujinshi where?
I don't wanna pull a :kirbyguy, but it's difficult to ignore all the fake pantsu when you put them right in front of my face. How ironic that the lewd breaks loose just as Ikuhara leaves Toei!
This played like your average Saint Seiya episode with
all the Sailor Senshi sacrificing themselves for the most boring of them all just because she's the protagonist
Nehelenia's revival as a villain. It just seems as if they were stretching her out at this point --and I don't mean the wrinkles
P.S. Doujinshi where?
That's because they are.

Sailor Moon Sexy Stars will be the name for the final season confirmed.

Good stuff. They adapted this part about as well as I could have hoped for, the horror-like atmosphere was palpable and the action scenes were dynamic and interesting. They've also managed to keep away the Unfinished Animation Demon for another week.

Chronological order.
It's like the start of R. You're in a repair arc!

Broadcast order is the only way to watch it. Chronological order and DVD order are terrible.

Bleach 29-32 (rewatch x 4)
Ichigo v Renji was awesome considering how their power levels were at this part of the plot. However, rexperiencing the flashback for this countless time again was a bit dull. Regardless, next week is one of my favorite filler episodes, Jinta and soccer.

The problem here becomes, do you watch the broadcast order of season 1 and then watch season 2? Or do you try to mash up your own timeline and throw season 2 episodes in the middle of an original run of season 1?
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Those stupid resets.
I watched it in chronological order the first time around and the show petered out quickly. Do broadcast order.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Unlike season one, there's no undergoing storyline that connects all of the season two episodes together. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to watch those episodes on their own afterwards.

It's the precocious child that you get in all of these stories about parenthood and parent/child bonding though. I'm pretty sure even that Adam Sandler "fatherhood" movie had the same type of kid.
Well, they did get a moemoe voice actress to play 360 with them!
To be fair, it was covered in that article and its listed in the credits. I just never thought to pay attention, since I usually skip OPs and EDs. lol
I suppose, although they chronologically take place in between S1... which is why they aired them the way that they did when they did the original 'troll' broadcast of the entire series.
