Gatchaman Crowds Episode 5: I do have to say this show is growing more and more on me as the episodes go by, in fact, were it not for Love Lab I would say this is the show of the season. Anyway, seems like the theme of this episode was dissension in the ranks and on the nature of heroes and leaders, also the lamest and nerdist field trip I have ever seen.
Watamote 1
I was apprehensive about starting this because a lot of people were talking about how this show makes you cringe and hits close to home and makes you hate yourself or whatever. But it seemed popular around these parts so I decided to give it a try. In some ways this hit close to home and made me say "Oh damn, I've been there" (to some degree), and in others it didn't, but this made for a pretty enjoyable watch. I'm hoping she'll make at least some progress by the end of the show.

Its not really that cringeworthy but it does absolutely nail a few things.

I have a question. What was anime-gafs best opening for last season. Just heard Devil Survivor's 2 opening and its now my favourite.

It had an awesome ED too.
Id have Arata: The Legend as my favorite OP of last season. Genesis Aria never got old and then Id also have SNAFU's OP there too, love the song.

The Aiura opening and ending were the best last season.
Yuzuru Tachikawa (Death Billiards) talks about his Kill la Kill episode (7):

Actually, this is another good choice.

I decided Kill La Kill looks cool, so I picked this back up in something of a preparation.
Didn't know you could hijack one of those Gunmen. But at least Kamina has his own now. Wonder how he'll change as a result of learning his father is dead. He seemed to be the source of all his spirit and optimism, so realizing that he's kicked the bucket up in this dangerous world has to give him something of a blow.

Aku no Hana's opening song was the best musically. Muromi and Driland S2's OPs were the best visually.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Where is episode 6 of DANGANRONPA releasing?
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
If I can ask about Wakamote,
does she make any progress? If so, is it major and character changing, or minor with hope that she'll continue in a series we'll never see?
Tamayura: MORE AGGRESSIVE
:firehawk lol
Although, I just realized... SatoJun gets away with a lot of stuff by having an all female cast I suppose. If any of the adults in this universe were male, none of this story would work.
And I suppose it's interesting that the whole idea of the Bed and Breakfast is foreign to most Japanese people.
I really liked this episode. Allowing Potte to interact with people her dad knew, following in his footsteps, and hearing tales about him was cool. Also a travel episode plays right into its strengths artwise.
I think you could have done the story if the co-worker was a dude, just that it would have to be a bit different - especially the emotional confession of hers.

Usually on Funi's site. You'll probably have to log-in or do some wacky thing to get it to actually show up or whatever.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Fuck funi site. It always sucks
How can you seriously be devoted to Team Kirara when you can't even spell her name properly!
She hasnt yet. I don't think she actually does.
The movie's mostly a retelling, but it's worth watching, just cause it's so insane. And it's great visually.
I blame spellcheck on my stupid ablet.
Those damn ablets.

This dude dense as fuck, and it's not even a harem show.
I am really loving the sound design and the show's atmosphere though. Very well crafted.

How can they talk about countermeasures, keep a secret so blatantly from you time and time and time and time again and you don't have the balls to go, "Hold the fuck up. Tell me what's going the fuck on."

Masao Maruyama has confirmed that Watanabe will be announcing his new show with Bones at Otakon:
Maruyama also stated for the umpteenth time that he wants to animate Pluto (SOMEONE GIVE HIM ALL THE MONIES), along with To All The Corners Of The World (which I think he's announced before?) and The Dream Machine. I guess he just needs the capital to do so for all of them
bayoab's excellent panel transcripts that he's been doing for years said:

Movie is entirely different even if it deals with the same themes. Not a sequel.

Yeah, the Fumiyo Kono adapt was announced a while back, but there's still no funding.
Link to the transcript for those curious.

Will listen. Shame this mediocre anime had such nice music and the thing is its like a common thing with bad/mediocre anime. Guilty Crown is one of the biggest offenders of this. Such a good OST.
It's a close call between Aku no Hana, Muromi-san and Shingeki no Kyojin for me.
Wait, Gargantia had a great OP too. Maybe I should give it to that.
I can't choose ~.~

Hmm, I just noticed there that Maruyama said that MAPPA will be working on Hajime no Ippo S3. So will that be produced by MAPPA instead of Madhouse, or perhaps a Madhouse/MAPPA co-production?
The Rose of Versailles 6
Wait, three years have passed already? Shit.
This was the first time they really showed the crippling poverty many were experiencing around this time in Paris and in other parts. This part seems to center around a family that has noble ancestors but ended up falling out after the last name died. That Jeanne girl seems to be the next in line to take a shot at Antoinette. Also another duke is getting his hands dirty to try and take her out. Antoinette's childlike charm that Oscar speaks of contrasts greatly with just how dangerous her situation is, as some powerful people want her dead, even if she doesn't realize it.

Attack on Titan, Haiyore Nyaruko-san W, and Gargantia are my favourite openings from last season.

I'm counting on you to notify me if a decent Kurumi figure gets released. Ultimate Madoka was supposed to be the only one I was ever going to buy but... well, you know how it is.
I actually really like the Majestic Prince OP
also the cast of Attack on Titan singing the OP to that is awesome
Gargantia really had some good themes.
Will do. If I see a Kurumi figure at any point, first I buy it immediately then I post here squeeing about it.
