On MAL.
Normally Im like why the tiny hat hate? but I think I can see why in this case. It looks ridiculous.
Romanized for that MAL flavour.
Also, what client are you currently using? I didn't even notice a beta of Taiga 1.0 was out until I checked tonight. Months of being on that old stuff.

MALupdater for now. Although it's a pain when it doesn't recognize files playing, so I have to retag it through that and then reupdate my play lists. It's bizarre really. Since sometimes it considers one series to be something else (like it made my Yes Precure 5 GoGo episodes update under DokiDoki Precure for some reason, along with the movies being recognize as something else).
Sometimes it can do partial title updates like with Sailor Moon, but suddenly throw an R in and it can't recognize it. Bleh. Just have to manually update it through the client itself.

And just in case anyone is wondering, yes, those are legit tweets (if about a month old by now).

Thats cute. Good to see a corporation with a sense of humor. thats probably the coolest thing about social media.

Probably the main reason why I want a client that allows me to do my handiwork without actually going to the site.
Though if the site is this slow now with only a handful of beta users, imagine what would happen with with devices all accessing it through some api.
Speaking of hummingbird...seems like they've updated it a bit. Seems faster, an the explore tab seems to have new stuff or maybe just a better layout.
Well, its not just server load. The site could be poorly coded. I can't be bothered to profile it but there seems to be an excessive number of server calls.

Well fuck. I guess it had to happen eventually. An episode about the fucking sakura trees themselves being :firehawk. Well played SatoJun, well played. I didn't even mind that this episode was essentially a

I was also reminded of the swastikas from last season. lol
And, I also discovered that when seiyuu start singing, they basically lose their acting voice and go back to their normal voice. Let's just say that I got a K-ON! flashback when "Asuza" started singing.
Best show is best, etc. Of course, people who won't watch will continue to not watch.

I felt like the girl in the background, doing the reverse-caterpillar while weird shit was happening in front of my eyes.
Really, I shouldn't complain too much because this magical realism self growth thing is basically straight out of the Aria playbook, but it's just so out of place in this show because the leap between her delusions being fantasies and the ability for her to
is a massive one.
This really feels like a mishmash of better story ideas plunked together. I wonder if the anime will end with someone graduating and all the first years crying.

Its still in early stages. either that or put up with the attitude of MAL.
Nobody informed me that there were colored visors.

Turn A Gundam 3
The more traditional this show acts, the more unorthodox it continues to seem. I dunno, I mean, on paper Earth being invaded by a space colony with MS tech that it doesn't have is just about the most basic kind of Gundam opening there is (after of course, an attack on a space colony), but I mean, I dunno, everything is done here in such a way that this just still feels like the most unusual Gundam of all. Even the Turn A, which maintains essentially all of the same motifs that any ProtagGundam should, looks markedly different from what would spring to your head as "Gundam." I do appreciate the mustache being canon, though. And I'm really liking the show, no matter how odd it is. And indeed, it feels odd. People always say G is the black sheep in the family, but Turn A is the red-headed step child, then.
As far as characters go, I really like Loran, but he's way too chill and smooth. Like, ladies be fallin' in his naked lap 1 2 3 and he never seems ticked that folks are calling him Laura. He just rolls with it all. Sochie is okay, too, but Kehil kinda seems like a spoiled brat so far.
Hope we get some damn giant robot fights next ep, though.

Love that, but Lelouch's MAP are more practical most of the time.
The Shinkirou's map is pretty dope but it being 4-10 kinda makes it a challenge to use. You should be using Lelouch for the barrier anyways.
The Turn-A map attack destroys basically everything in front of Turn-A. Its ridiculous that its map attack is even better than the one Shin Getter Dragon has.

Can't we leave this petty and outdated argument behind us and discuss who got the most reasonable fetish already?
Yeah, aiming the target with it kind of ass lol
Still the best bet for racking fund for me though.
I love Turn A finally felt OP, in Alpha the moustache lord feel underwhelming than it should as strongest Gundam.
Entirely different. Blame Hito's avatar.
Time of EVE 1
So, what to say about this show? Where to begin? Let's get negatives out first, shall we? Let's.
There was a bit too much CG in the set pieces for my taste, and sometimes the camera kinda slipped around a bit? Like this really weird blur stuff as if the camera man had dropped the camera or had shaky hands. Except, you know, it was animated so it was confusing, too. More of a neutral thought here, but, the mood kinda jerked back and forth. I dunno, like emotional whiplash except not that intense.
Moving along to the positives anything 3 Laws based is likely to be a fun go, and I really enjoyed that aspect of this; that the show seems to be interested in observing the relationship of humans and androids (who seem to be more or less enslaved) and their interactions in a cafe where who is human and who is not is a taboo subject. The removal of the distinction is a big gray zone in Asimov's laws, and means things could get messy, or not.
Whatever the case, it looks to be a pretty interesting show, and the first episode, combined with the length of episodes and the series itself has me interested enough to continue on.

Was nice though. But then my diving into anime has brought out a love of Sakura to the point that I've considered planting my own.
Am liking the new photo club member. And here I thought Potte was shy.
And again it shows that just like R2 in Star Wars, its all about Momoneko.
I've dived into this. And rather liked it. Which is a surprise given I normally avoid shows focusing on characters so young, and I have no interest in the sport of basketball.

Still good. I don't entirely dig the sudden cartoony shots for the jokes, but it's not that bad.
This episode seemed like a set-up, both of the new status-quo now that Shinku has awakened, as well as preparing the stage for probable future plot points. It did its job well and the direction remained confident like in the previous three.
The most difficult thing for this series will probably be tying the storyline of the Alice Game with Jun's real life issues. I hope they don't go all in with the plot and forget what they established in eps 2-3, that would be a bummer. So far, they've been doing pretty well so I have hope.

Stop being so lewd.
Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu Episode 4: Yea, let me echo the sentiments of expressing a bit of disbelief over how this episode went.
I have to say I actually this is actually increasing my interest just because
and that is actually a lot more interesting then taking arisoft guns mega-seriously and it had a few character bits that I liked. in short, keeping this on the watch list if only for the trainwreck factor.
I was expecting this to turn into the Karate Kid and instead got Back to the Future, fucking space is warped and time is bendable!
the delusions are real and airsoft gun can change history.

You know, I understand the whole circle of life thing and all that, but this seemed like an episode to justify horse racing more than anything else. Then again, unlike Luck, at least horses didn't have to die to make this episode.
Y'all shouldn't forget to post in the OT either. ._.

I suppose it's a matter of time.
I can't help it!
It wasn't THAT bad!
I'm not crying something got in my eye
'Portmantau - Translation' strikes again!
For now.
Drop the sharp nose this isn't the 90s.
You know what you must do!
The API is coming soon so you could make something yourself.
or I could been looking for something to kill time on besides anime.
Chronological order has its uses, I like my current shows being at the top of my currently watching. Should have a sort option though.
Down with useless granularity! It also lets you do 5 stars if you like.Thanks.
I like that their ratings are

So it wasn't just more love triangle setup?
I liked the horse race. I hadn't actually seen that kind of horse race before.

Dude is not even in the game, so I don't consider it a love triangle at all!So it wasn't just more love triangle setup?

Okay, time to start thinking about the best OP/ED of the season. There's a lot of options to decide for the best opening, but after episode 3 of Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi I think that Mikako Komatsu easily runs away with Owaranai Melody wo Utaidashimashita as the best ending song.
edit: I'll admit I'm still thinking more musically than animation-wise, as Kaminai's ED is a bit boring visually.
