Someone transferring from Finland? That never happens!
I guess all the scenes with Taiga were entertaining enough. Though this plot has been very by the books of transfer student/new rival/whatever. Kinda like we're just going through a checklist of stuff that should happen.

She now has the ability to hear plot.
Dude, you've completed, like, 18 Precure series, and yet you quit on CCS? Wut?

Maybe they'll give us Gundoh backgrounds.
Should've seen MCM. Was practically filled with them but I guess it's a more mainstream EXPO.

You forget that it's a series that I seriously marathoned after a while of sitting doing smaller series (actually wait, I wasn't in animegaf at the time).
Scratch that, that it was series I was marathoning at the time because COMMITMENT, and I wasn't completely burned out in regards of Magical girls, but over time, it became too much and I had to shy away from it for a bit to not kill myself.
That and it felt like CCS fell off a cliff for some time after like 15 or something. It became less interesting since there wasn't much in developing characters, and they remained stagnant for some time with their status quo, so it felt like I was forcing myself to watch it at the time. That's why I put it down. It's not dropped, but it's certainly on hold.
EDIT: Although oddly enough, despite giving this flak for lack of development, the same could apply to Smile Precure.

Don't remember seeing any Kiritos yesterday at the J-Pop summit here. Lots of cosplayers for almost everything else but I guess this was before SAO started airing on Toonami.

I'm going to have to use this idea if I ever write a book.
Apparently so...
Let's Play! Suite Precure: 28
Congrats, Ellen. Kanade cares so much she didn't even spell your name correctly!
So it looks like we're definitely getting into plot mode now. Next episode has a
trip to Major Land, and the makings of getting a new power up or something soon

All this reminds me of is how it feels like different subbers took this on because it changes up as you keep going.

Uchouten Kazoku 4
Not as brilliant as past episodes, but still good stuff. Flashback of the father, this time more complete and showing the connection with the tengus, and after that Benten, and fun times in the sky.

In this episode we see how much an ass is the old Tengu (I forgot the name), from the start of the episode (not accepting directly the invitation) to the end (asking when Benten will come, wasting the alcohol, causing the accident and complicating the MC life a lot).
I am starting to understand Benten and why she left the old crow...

Ugh, I have got to fix my weekend sleep schedule.
A couple other things from the Ultra Super Pictures WonFes panel that was streamed on NicoNico:

I can only assume duckroll doesn't have access to a computer at the moment, otherwise I'm sure he would have posted these by now.
Looks very Time of Eve-ish.
Not quite!
hahahahah. Never change, Japan. I should have figured that the acid attack would just dissolve Cherno's clothes.

I'm now remembering the slime scene on Bastard!! and laughing hard.
How are they generic if I recognized the Time of Eve connection before even realizing that was for the anime mirai short Yoshiura is directing?
because the girl looks exactly the same pretty much, still generic, specially the boy. They could very well act as a background character in another show and no one would notice
generic =/= bad, it doesn't stand out like leads usually do with their visual features, probably what they intended. I haven't watched all of Time of Eve, no opinion on that front.

Bravo desu~
Cue the fangirl squees for pairings as Rikka has no idea what she wants to do based on her own actions and not the admiration of someone else like Mana and her mother.
Meanwhile Ira: SHUT UP THUNDER! Nature: Fuck you *zap*
The amount of pairing overload in this episode is nuts here, and led to a challenge of considering her actions seriously.
This scene from episode 4 doesn't look so random now with this episode in tow and features him saving the Cures despite his memory being back.
But wait What's this? Upon powering up, CURE DIAMOND ACTUALLY FIGHTS AND NOT STAND AROUND LIKE AN ASSHOLE BEFORE ACE DOES SOMETHING!? AND SHE ACTUALLY USED HER CATCHPHRASE!? It's clear that Rikka is indeed the best of Mana's reject friends especially considering they gave her a good amount of screen time while keeping her interesting. This episode certainly went above my expectations based on the last two episodes.
Diamond > Heart (regrettably) > Sword > Rosetta.
Next episode isn't what I entirely expected though.

I'll be right in line for SAO S2, too, but I will still hate it and myself.
Speaking of, I am not gonna watch the SAO dub. I thought about doing it up till the end of SAO and then skipping to the last episode, but then I was like "Yeah, no. I just finished watching that show anyway."
May TOM watch o'er the souls of those poor fools who do, though.

I think it's good to distinguish between generic art style, which I don't think these designs represent, particularly in their facial structure, and generic conceptual design, which you could say they represent, in that they look like regular people without any standout identifying features you would note on a police report.
right, I too think they wanted them to look like very normal everyday people here. The boy doesn't even have that facial structure like the girl does. He's perfectly 'normal'.

The way the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth (plus chin line) are drawn is the same with both characters. Subdued yet expressive.
Yeah, the purpose of this convention is to advertise Japan in general so anime and cosplay is only a small part of it.
One funny incident during the day was when I almost walked into a dakimakura when turning a corner. If I recall it was a half clad Princess of the Crystal with masking tape covering her nipples and crotch. This was right next to the NIntendo area so great family fun for all the kids! Turned to my mum and said "found something to buy(!)" in which she replied "well if you really want it I won't stop you".
Later it was either sold or someone realised having that out in the open wasn't the best of ideas.

Missed opportunity there.
What is this treason I'm looking at. Rikka you better not be pulling this bullshit!!!!
Hunter x Hunter 90
Really mixed on this episode. On the one hand, I love this fight. Knuckle and Shoot's powers are a ton of fun and really creative. It's nice to actually see what's going on behind Togashi's scribble art.
On the other, something about this episode looked really cheap to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed like a massive budget episode. The Gon fight looked good for what it was, but there wasn't much there. Most of it was just the amazing scene of Knuckle revealing all his power's rules.
The Kil and Shoot fight, on the other hand, looked really shoddy and cheap. Some moments like Shoot's initial power reveal looked really good, but then you have others like Kil's YoYo attack that looked super cheap. The fight almost felt like it was released before the animation was done. So many weird cut-aways, repeated animations and other cheapness. Stark contrast from how utterly amazing the Knuckle/Gon fight looked last week.
Oh well, story-wise, this part is still amazing. It has some of my favorite moments in all of the Chimera arc. I love Knuckle and Shoot and they're given a ton of moments to shine here, so most of that distracts from the cheapness of the thing. Really hoping this is just them saving their budget so they can really blow out next week's fight conclusion.

I hope these all air in a single Winter season.
Oh god, a winter season of LN adaptations. Also known as, backlog season for me.

Just make them all air in any season and it would be for the best.

They'll trickle out over different seasons and be immediately forgotten like hundreds of other shows.
I can assure you there will be no season that consists only of these five adaptations.
