Mad Scientist Sugita earned a Villainy Achievement:
Meanwhile, rifts are forming within our antagonist group.
Mad Scientist Sugita earned a Villainy Achievement:
Turn the protagonist's best friend into a weapon to use against her!
Controlled by dark forces or otherwise, though, it's still pretty cool to see Miku wielding a Symphogear. We'll see how this goes.
First Maria's traumatic experience leads her to side with MSS over Nastasia, then Kirika's fears of becoming Fine lead her to do the same, even at the cost of betraying Shirabe. Poor Shirabe, she doesn't deserve this. Hopefully Kirika comes to her senses and stops being an ass soon. The both of them really need to just quit MSS's little trainwreck of a team and join up with the good guys already.

Mine is still in the post. I think I will wait until I get part 2 next month before watching it.
I'm seeing two glasses girls in that picture. I guess you must be talking about Sayo rather than Suzu, though, since the latter's swimsuit suits her perfectly.

Sorry mamoru , i guess i was wrong and you were put in a position where you couldn't act otherwise.
The animation during this episode was kinda fluncky .. at times it was great and sometimes it was average.... but other than that it was a great episode.

Other glasses. The one who has them for eyes in the show.
As if her cold, black heart would be capable of love in any situation.
In DTL's bed.
I feel like Lt. Poe is Jerid Messa or Yzak Joule except funny. She doesn't measure up to Patrick Coulesor, though. Patrick was like, one of the best characters in Gundam 00, especially after S2 started.

I'm impressed. Seriously.
This episode was a excellent turn of events ... but even so , seeing the human society ( the so called leaders reacting ) was very intresting from start to finish..
I also liked several of the answers i got , in particular why those 5 were the ones able to do all of those and why the group didn't fall appart when it should have ..
In short i love the narrative of this show.
Ps: Saki is a nice girl , being able to act like this ...i'm rooting for you.
PS2: wait that means that they were under observation even during the boat trip in ep 3 ? incredible when you think about it.
woauh ! what a beautifull society!

So yeah, a LOT has changed. It isn't often that you'll see a show that will jump forward seven years like this one. And not only that, things are completely different now. They have a whole city built that uses modern technology; how they did all this in seven years I really don't know. Simon's supreme commander and Rossiu is...prime minister, I guess? Either way he's a total prick now, and for a while I thought he was going to be the next enemy. Yoko left, and Nia's Simon's fiance (well...), those two kids with Rossiu have become soldiers, and one of the Black Siblings is having a baby.
A baby that brings about the extermination of humanity. It is the one-millionth ape, and the whole city is under attack. And Nia's been transformed into a sort of messenger for them. Maybe she's a bit more than just a doll for the Spiral King. Either way, they're back in action.
So like I said, not sure how I feel about moving forward that much. All the characters are different to some extent from the ones we knew for the first 15 episodes. It's kinda hard to make a sudden adjustment like that.
Disappointed that "Underground" has been replaced as the ED, but it makes sense I guess, since they're no longer underground.

Whew, we're back into good old "everything feels so rushed that it's nigh-impossible to follow all the twists and turns, and all the revelations and characterisation lose their weight" territory. After the slight improvement seen in the past couple of episodes, I was almost starting to feel like this adaptation might have redeeming features. Glad to see it wasted no time setting me straight.

Dammit Toei I thought we were done with this!
Also following up with 24 is another episode dealing with fat, this time slimming down, and the dangers of reckless dieting because the SOS Trio are assholes. Doremi's steak boner was at max this episode.

Sliver Spoon - Episode 8
Another good episode. This week they introduce Hachiken's brother and Hachiken learns an important life lesson! Plus, fresh corn. Yuuuuuuum. There really isn't much to say about this show from week to week because I've seen all this before by reading the manga, but at the same time it's great that a good manga I actually like is getting an adaptation which doesn't make me want to die. Looooooool. <3 <3
I hope Silver Spoon keeps getting new seasons on noitaminA, making it harder for the staff to go back to Sword Art Online!

Blue Exorcist - Episode 11 (English Dub)
Monk: "So where did your savior go?"
Kid: "I'm down here!"
Monk: "Woah! Your so small!"
Kid: "My dad says it only matters if your big where it counts!"
Eyebrows: "You shouldn't say things like that out loud."
Kid: "What...? You have a problem with people with big hearts?"
XD
Anyways a pretty nice episode, not a lot of fighting but oh well. Also this was my first peek at the english dub and I did not like Rin's voice. I really wish the monk and Rin switched VA's because the monk's voice fits Rin perfectly, and vice-versa.

Desparaia wat r u doing. Final bosses are supposed to wait in their lairs, not go on random strolls around town. As final bosses go, she doesn't seem all that threatening, either. I mean, sure, she can summon endless hordes of shadow beings to defend herself, but just the touch of Nozomi's hope-filled energy was enough to permanently wither her hand. That wasn't even an attack!
Meanwhile Coco is all "must not fall in love with Nozomi...must not fall in love with Nozomi... >.<" Give it up, dude, that's categorically impossible. I should know.
Oh, he did give it up. Fair enough then.

The show continues to do interesting things where I least expect them. Shinku gets a surprising amount of depth of characterisation just from a bunch of small cuts. With Jun not being a hikkikomori in this series, of course she will have time when he's not around - and I'd never really considered she might be lonely then. I think she's portrayed as being a much softer character here than in the older series - probably because it's a more muted show in general - but it definitely makes her more interesting.
As usual, there were some clever transitions, too - I enjoyed the zoom in on Jun's bottle of drink for Shinku's explanation.
I can't remember who talked about it a year or so ago, but I think there was an interesting conversation in this thread about shows like this that take a less "hyper" approach to production than most anime - muted colours, muted dialogue, muted everything - and whether it just made everything dull. This episode did the best job so far of leavening the atmosphere with some appropriate humour. While normally SD cutaways can be a little annoying and overused, I actually appreciated the levity here - probably because they're not accompanied by people shouting or over-explaining them.
Hunter X Hunter 4-5
I'm warming to the show slightly more again now. Despite the "gruesomeness" of some of the content - death, impalement, decapitation etc. - it's sort-of settled into a Saturday morning cartoon feeling with this second phase, a relatively pleasant adventure-y sort of feel. Although Leorio is still immensely irritating, at least he's not the main character - Gon and Killua's childish enthusiasm is quite endearing, and Kurapika is the most "normal" of the lot of them.
I like the idea of Hisoka more than his execution thus far - he's creepy and powerful, but I could do without the somewhat arbitrary decision making about
.
Fate/Zero 2
As everyone says, this episode is much better than the first. Still a lot of talking, but it's a lot more comprehensible; I feel like I have a handle on Waver/Alexander and Ryuunosuke/Caster as characters in particular. Perhaps the Kiritsugu stuff goes on a little long but then I guess he does seem to be the main character...
Not sure what to make of the ending. I'm sure it's tricking me into thinking something I shouldn't.

One funny thing is that the dad is the same VA as the "asshole" astronaut guy on Space Bros. Then again, I suppose it's a good taciturn and emotionless voice that always sounds like it is full of disappointment.

An episode about the mysterious school chairwoman! And it ended with the Cures
Meanwhile, the Nightmare folks were speculating that there might be some kind of secret to Desperaia's identity behind her mask, as well. An intriguing thought indeed! Come to think of it, "masks" have kind of been the symbol of the whole Nightmare organisation, and the whole purpose of masks is to conceal, so in a way it would be strange if there wasn't something hidden there...
An episode about the mysterious school chairwoman! And it ended with the Cures
actually finding out her true identity, which was fairly satisfying. It felt like the sort of secret that might never actually be revealed to the characters, only to the viewers, which added a fun element of uncertainty to how this episode played out.

has the same voice as Hata in setokai yakuindomo..
Can this voice actor only do lazy characters ?

I fully expected the betrayal but now it's almost garanteed to happen.
This episode is a perfect example of change in power that is intresting ... i have no doubt that their fears will hold true sooner or later and the things they have done to their queen is quite hard to judge at first glance. Even i thought that the queen in ep 4 & 5 was doing too much but now i just can't see this drastic change as a good thing no matter how i look at it.
Half the word away ? with a 2 day head start ? another proof that everyone in this show is thinking in some degree but i think the letter is not true somehow.
