it's alright if you can get past the cg during dancing.
it's nothing special. I personnally know that i couldn't get into it only because at the time i was burned out on idol shows.
I always make this distinction with Turn A in that it's not just a good Gundam show, it's good anime period despite franchise ties.

Railgun S - 18
This feels like a railgun/index start of an arc.
This feelign of "nothing's happenning while they try to subtly drop hints of what the arc is gonna do is typical.
It works ....... thanks to the very huge amount of friendship that was displayed in this episode.
Anyway uhiharu is a hard working and honnest girl.. if you needed more confirmation, you got it, right there in this episode !

i have a hard time deciding if uhiharu pouting was one of the highlights of this episode or not.

Yea I definitely disagree on that. It has moments where it does something decent but it sure as hell doesn't do anything excellent. The politics stuff is background noise at best and is halfassed. They don't really delve into the war ramification stuff in an insightful manner. The animation is pisspoor at best. It's easily the worst looking Gundam show I've seen and somehow that includes Destiny. Music is meh, probably one of Kanno's weaker works. There is so much bullshit surrounding identities that it really cuts into the atmosphere. The characters themselves aren't that great either. Loran is fine but someone needs to stuff a sock in Sochie's mouth.

Well, I hope they will use the original Gameboy sounds for the pokemons and not the nonsense of repeating the own name.

Is that really what binbougami ga means?
Btw, this is going to be something. Regardless of whatever it is, hypedddddddd!
Sold, otp
Green is great, Red is kind of odd in some angles. I wish they started with Gold and Silver though from Special, thats like the best pkmn subfranchise manga portion (plot and PreciousMetalShipping)
This is truly an exciting year for pkmn. Please include some dragon pkmn in this special and a fairytype.

Ojamajo Doremi 25
Pop is basically the exact opposite of Doremi while still having some sisterly resemblance.
Their Ojamajo chant is very similar for example, their taste in magical goods is also similar but pop is a lot more competent generally. She'll grow to be a powerful witch one day.

This actually hasn't been a bad season of anime, surprisingly. I like a lot of the returning shows, and some of the new stuff like Watamote and Love Lab are pretty good too. I'm pretty pleased.
Pretty much the opposite, actually. Seems like Funimation has gone and named the series after the other lead character.
Had no idea that Disney had bought Funimation patented "be dicks to American outsiders" technology.
After this is done, we can probably retire the School Days recommendation thing, cause it ain't getting better than this.

No , the original title means the total opposite actually.

Hmm. I'm really not impressed in the slightest. Guess you need to be a Pokefan for this to have any sort of effect on you.
Good for those who are into this, I suppose.

The trailer rely heavily on nostalgia.
Also you might not believe me , but even if there was nothing special , especially in term of animation , it's still MUCH better than before ( i haven't seen the current seasons but they seem to have improved several effects )
It's still bad if you compare it to other anime.
The new Mickey shorts feature great art direction, too. Wouldn't just praise the aural part!

I've been pimping them in here ever since the first one!
I doubt it's meant to be amazing, but all I really want is for it to be decent. The old one is just meant to be a bland kid's show. Low production values. There's no real overarching storyline. The main character never really gets any interesting pokemon, resets and uses random (mostly starter) pokemon every season, the same thing happens every episode, he never gets any better or makes any progress outside of getting badges. Whether you watch the first episode or the utmost latest, you aren't missing anything because hundreds of episodes later he still makes the same stupid mistakes, can't really win much of any competition and HE NEVER AGES.
I just want a show where there is actual progress and a possibility of an ending.

You nailed it..
Previous pokemon anime had no payoff and thats what made many people turned off by it

Gatchaman Crowds 6
As expected, the main conflict is a world without heroes that Rui is pursuing vs Gatchaman that represent that, heroes above everyone else. While it's a interesting social scenario, it's a bit silly because
; Rui doesn't know that but we know, and then we see how all the issue is moot. Apart from that, the series is advancing slower than I thought, the tunnel situation from the past episode ended in a fizzle, not a boom, and all this episode all served for two talking scenes that mattered.
Blue Exorcist movie.
Pretty, but bland, uninteresting, with dumb characters and bad end.

normal people can't fight invisible aliens with superpowers, that's why Gatchaman exist in first place!

I think is kind of funny in untended way how bad is the main character. The movie paints the basic story : The MC is an exorcist in training different to the others. While the others kill demons and that's it, that's the job, he tries to help people affected by demons, and really understand them and solve their issues in a more pacific way. Typical shounen trope, really. The movie establishes that in the first ten minutes.
Well, here the hero instead of doing his job properly of watching a demon, his typical carelessness, regular disobedience of superiors and overfriendly attitude (basically your typical shounen hero) causes a disaster of what I imagine should have thousands of deaths (though somehow no one mentions it). They are only saved by something even worse: a blatant Deux Ex Manchina, "time reset" included.

That's actually giving me some Nanoha A's vibes. Show me some sweet beamspamz and I might jump back in!
If you're referring to
the initial ghost train incident then it is mentioned during Yukio's trial that there were only two casualties
the climax of the film then it's mentioned that instead of his usual memory manipulation Usamaro did some time and space shit and basically undid everything which is why no one mentions anything. Because there was nothing to mention.

009 Re:Cyborg
Not sure what to say here. How the hell did something that is so good for the first half turned into a mess for the later half?
Not to say I'm not enjoying it, though. The CG looked surprisingly good and music is godlike. The theme is far, far from what I expected, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. But I can imagine people being disappointed, mainly those expecting a traditional cyborgs-kicking-ass-with-kickass-scarfs movie.

To be fair it's not like Ufotable is a stranger to that either. CG Berserker, anyone?
Hmmm. Looks kinda derpy like Pokemon movies. I just dont have the same nostalgia for it particularly I guess.
You've done a wonderful thing! that figurine is a cutie, trust me!

Sensei is weeeeird. Orgasmic state wearing a tracksuit, and apparently she also has dat ass/birthing hips according to the English. They better give us a good viewing opportunity.
Shino actually manages to score a 96 on the exams at the end! Better than Ayaya!

It's because, unlike 1, 3, and 5, the director did not storyboard this episode. He will be storyboarding 9 with the animation director from the OP, so expect that to look good.
How many gens are there? I lost interest after the second.
Lettuce is a cutie. Love her. TMM is kinda weird overall. Its still a typical mahou shoujo though. Theres other weird shows like Shugo Chara, although that ones super adorable.
I looove genkis. Best kind of character. The kind of optimism I wish I could have all the time.
Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou/Day Break Illusion Episode 7: Right, so we get some vauge portents about future developments and some plot shit happens way away off-screen, also a love triangle is developing out of nowhere, and OH MY GOD I AM SO BORED! SOMETHING FUCKING HAPPEN! SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING! WHEN DID THIS TURN INTO AN EPISODE OF K-ON?? ARGH!
Looking at hummingbird reccomendation list.
Dunno whether I'll trust that. Seems I should be trying Higashi no Eden
Eden is good. Also Acchi Kocchi is feel good super sweet adorableness. Venus Vs Virus is an interesting recommendation.
Huh?
That's the first one I've seen and I have to agree. Great balance between the old black and white designs and modern stuff. Nice use of color as well. Really enjoyed it. I'll have to check out some of the others now.
