Neon Genesis Evangelion 5-6
So this 'catches' me up where the first Rebuild movie ends. Clearly the movie took episode 6 and added a lot of fanfare and suspense to taking out that Angel, which was in my opinion done quite well - so watching the original afterwards seemed to lack a bit of suspense in comparison. It was still fun to watch though. Will probably be a while before I can continue from here.

I think Regulus' recommendation of Utena is a pretty good one. I've seen people recommend War in the Pocket and that one is good, too. I think E7 is still a safe one, but there are folks who don't like it, so who knows. The challenge is that there's so many disparate opinions on what is good that getting a consensus is kinda tough.
Dai-Guard 8
So this was a really good episode, even without giant robot action. In it we got to see the pressures that work, especially a hazardous and bizarre job like piloting Dai-Guard, puts on people. The crew is on repeated high alert and cancellations all day long. Like false alarms all day. And Ibuki doesn't get the midnight call's cancellation, meaning she comes into work hella early. Over the course of the day, various office hijinks pile up more and more, leaving Ibuki and Akagi more and more at odds. Shirota, seeing the pressure and feeling guilty as his newfound feelings of friendship for the crew make him dislike putting them in this kind of military situation, asks Akagi to resign and asks Ibuki if there's something wrong at her home. And there definitely is, but most interestingly is that there's also something wrong at Aoyama's home. And all three pilots come under social pressure for being young and single (and the age relation to this is something with which I particularly sympathize. Most particularly Ibuki's barb to Akagi: "You're twenty five and you still buy toys!" "Age doesn't matter!" "It does!
, with Ibuki approaching her mid twenties, Akagi already having reached them, and Aoyama's reputation of being a lady-killer comes back in a big way as office gossip has his superior call him out for leaving work with unfinished tasks "to go to your girlfriend's house!" When in reality
Aoyama's mother is sick and in the hospital
goes to the hospital, another alarm makes his mother force him to leave her there.
So yeah, really, really good illustration of young people working in their jobs, coping with social pressures and personal issues set to the back drop of a giant robot. Mecha at its finest as far as I'm concerned, even if there wasn't a drop of action in the show. Mecha should always be the vehicle through which a greater story is told.
The environmental concept for Ao no Exorcist was always AMAZING, but neither the anime, nor the manga itself really did it any justice. This looks to actually correct that. Amazing work.
Anime. The death of nerds. Reborn.
Might want to edit out any reference to morally-gray methods of watching stuff because that's bannable.
I think this is one of the few times I have seen the Rebuild films compared favorably to the series!
The moment where Rei actually smiles does look really bad in the show though (even if it does hold more gravitas behind it), I'll admit.

I'll admit, it's pretty fucking amazing when Motoki AND his sister appears two times in a row this late in the game. I mean wow, That's more appearances than Sailor Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury has already!
I swear to god, it's like suddenly Chibiusa is making use of big words and whatnot, the Pedogasus already made her a woman in her dreams (FORESHADOW). Peeking into the mirrors to see their dreams make them squeel as if they were getting horribly violated, and did I mention that everything seems super shiny in comparison to the last few seasons? It's like, a slightly less shiny version of the movies. Wow.
Oh yeah, Reika appears, you know, that person that was a Youma reincarnated into a human. I thought they died out since they stopped existing but I guess not. Maybe Ami's Boycock will come back!? :O :O :O

Ass Fleet 10
Oh boy, no one can sway the Duchess except CLEO. Who didn't see this coming? The only thing about this show that is of note or interest is the character designs. Not the actual drawings of the characters, which look as much like ass as the cg ships do, but the designs on a conceptual level. Making the Duchess of Bordello into a "sexy" female Jabba the Hutt has been worth seeing this episode. Having everyone else onboard her little funship dressed like Entia from Xenoblade is also of note.
Also the most dramatic carriage ride I have ever seen.

yo aaaaaaaaaaaaa esports.
Whoa, had that open in another tab, could have sworn that was a Hulk Hogan promo!
That suit. That suit!
And this is also how I imagine darkside reacts to posts.
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A POINT. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE. A. POINT. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A POINT. LET'S GO BOYEEEE.
First he gains the will to drop terrible anime flash shorts and now he has the will to drop Kingdom S2.
Wonzo is growing up.
Or developing taste.
The e stands for embarrassing.
That would imply he actually liked the things he was watching.
Nah, he's an M.
I know that Okama is credited as character designer on Glass Fleet but I really have to wonder just how involved he was because, even if he's done some pretty eccentric stuff (see: Getsumen to Heiki Miina, Bizarre Jelly), none of it was ever overtly insane or aesthetically void in the way that Glass Fleet costuming is.

Upskirts yo
So instead of chasing teenage booty, they're now MILF hunting, starting with Usagi's mom. They really are targetting characters that are already establish, and that is kinda cool actually. Considering they'll cease to exist once we move into Stars.
Usagi is more bratty than before sadly, and we joke about Usagi being fat again.
But of course, Moon and Chibi Moon gets yet another power up, fuck your friends yo. Keep em useless. ;-; Dammit Sexy/Spinning. This is your fault.
With them hunting for a horse with wings, and the fact that they attacked someone riding horses last episode, when can I expect a Sarah Jessica Parker stand in?

Are there subtitles? I caught "AAAAARRRRRGH!" and "Let's go!" but that's about it. And seriously, that suit is massive. Is it dad's or something?

That flashback was fucked up 0_o. I wonder if the BDs will show the entire scene.

The costume designs in Glass Fleet are legitimately amazing.
It's what keeps me going, really.
Mobile Suit Victory Gundam 4
So Shakti has earned my pity. Poor girl has been kicked around the entire episode and everyone basically dumped Karlman on her, and Karlman proceeded to SHRIEK in her ears the ENTIRE episode. Poor kid. Anyway, Shakti has Scooby Doo for moral support, so there is that. Lt. Chronic and the Drugs Brigade are the latest and greatest in loser elites, who, like Mashmyre, Jerid, and basically the entire Zeon before them, continue to get their asses handed to them by an untrained kid and a woman with a busted leg.
Also I was reminded of the Hiimdaisy comic where Snake stares down Campbell and is all "YOU DON"T NEED LEGS TO DRIVE A TRUCK."
Anyway, the Shokew died and I'm sad, 'cuz that sucker was cool. Now it's back to the Gundam AGE V.
It doesn't
Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still - 1
I've seen this first episode before, but I rewatched it so I can go into the following episodes not wondering what's going on. I also want to say that the Tragedy of Bashtarle is one of my favorite scenes in anime.
If I wasn't tired, I'd do a huge write up on how amazing this episode is. I am tired.

A Generic and Nondescript Harem Anime of No Great Interest 1
Show kinda feels like the set up to a bad Greek drama mixed with a bad H-Game. None of that is helped by the Chorus at the beginning practically going "Do you know, do you know?" Character design is meh, and MC plays this game as if he were piloted by LA Noire's Phelps.
All of this will end well.

Yeah, that's my problem with the latter seasons. Not enough Inner Senshi.
School Days is not a bad show its just so good at making you aggravated on purpose. Its really one of a kind. In the best and worst way. And to really say much further would literally spoil everything.
Smart move!
No worries. We will help you find stuff youll like.
Lol. So very very true!

The Inner Senshi do not fight this episode. Yep, this is definitely my main criticism with Sexy/Spinning. But Naru is back, and the enemy is stealing her from Umino. For the "PRECURE of Sailor Moon", there's a shit ton of NTR being thrown around here.
It's nice that Minako, Rei, Makoto, and Ami appear, but it's like... why are you here again? I don't like that feeling. I know it's ongoing, but considering they're still part of a fighting squad it's like, give em a bone, yah? (yeah right).
The Pedogasus apparently outdoes the trap set up for him to the point of Styling and Profiling, he has what it takes to be Maximillion Pegasus.
Meanwhile Umino drinks himself into milkshake hell.

I think that's just Don Bluthness shining through than anything else.
That had an evil carnivore that in the last moment repented from his evil carnivorous ways.
Oh my. Thanks for the heads up.
France has 65.4m inhabitants. They are not a small country at all.
But to be fair, when you make movies where half the characters are natural predators to your main cast you have 2 options the later being vore.
There is a list somewhere I hear
. (this list isn't the same required viewing you think probably)
Be sure to get friends. It makes the experience more than worth it.
Hey, I've already done my part. Albeit in Japanese, in getting 3-4 people to watch it!
Joke's on you I think Don Bluth is a hack.
Do people that have only seen half of get permitted?
Does the statue get to be the grenade crotch-guard sleepy?
Don'y forger the CG asteroids!

AHAHAHAHA YES! I GOT MY SARAH JESSICA PARKER JOKE! My night is complete now.
Also more potential NTR, but with a college mate named Saori, who ends up finding out who Sailor Moon is because of a situation dealing with the enemy. Who was crying tears while saying she'll kill Mamoru after killing Sailor Moon. Creepy as shit.
No Inner Belly Button Squards this time. Being Usagi's friends is suffering. They're not even competing with the Outies.

Being Artemis is suffering. Accused of gawking at a nun, on top of fucking another cat with a kitten? Even Minako was pissed. With all the things he was confessing, it was pissing her off more and more. It's like she's pissed because Artemis cheated on her!
But in reality, it's another piece of luggage from the future, confirming whose gonna get boned. Loving the cheaters aspect of SuperSilly

What? Did you not see my post yesterday? Urotsukidouji is like one of the few anime shows people have bought in the UK.
Thinking about Artemis and cheating reminded me of what is possibly the best worst fan fic I ever did saw. Now if only I could remember the title of that one. Someone here has probably read it and knows exactly what I'm thinking of, but if not . . .

I only know of the one where Optimus prime has an amusement park camera setup in his anus where he also stores portraits of this lovers taken with that system.

ohhhhhhh boy. oh boy. ohhh boy ohhh boy was that bad. Someone shoot me now. I put up with 3 different iterations of this absolute garbage. I am now desensitized to awful. This makes every show this season look fantastic. I'd rather watch the entire second half of SAO on repeat like 10 times then this.
