I guess that was an ok way to end the show.
The flashback was pretty nice and I guess the ending was ok.
Forgot to toss in my final thoughts:
Average show. It had some really nice parts, the OP and ED are great, the supporting cast was pretty amusing and it had some really nice moments like the out of nowhere cooking battle.
Where it did terribly in is the main character. He had no growth, no development, no nothing. All he did was shut down anything he saw which while amusing to start with, got old way too fast.

So I got around to listening to some of the opening previews for the fall shows.
Machine Doll wa Kizutsukanai (Youtube)
Log Horizon
Coppelion
Tokyo Ravens (Youtube)
Golden Time
Not really liking Log Horizon. Might just be one of those songs that will grow on me after awhile, but I'm kinda doubting it.
On the other hand, I'm enjoying the openings to Tokyo Ravens and Golden Time.

I didn't mind the first half being a recap, did a good job of showing the subtle character growth from episode 1 to present. Second half of the episode was great having the Prime Minster finally
. The action was great as well though the twist at the end is going to make the finale crazy.

I'm growing on the faces for Yozakura Quartet but still don't really like them compared to the manga.
Still not feeling interested in Golden Time
Log Horizon looks more MMO than SAO. Also, pop up menu hell.
I honestly forgot that Yusibu is airing in the fall. I remember liking the first few chapters I read of the manga so interested in seeing it animated.

(only in 240p
) I think it would be in their best interest to keep showing all the menues and drop downs even in battle to make it continue to feel like an actual game. It gives it a somewhat unique touch and kind of a different feeling than its other comparable competitors. Unfortunately, I wonder if people will be able to try to see it for what it is and not compare it at every moment to SAO...Gintoki313

Death Note - Episode 1+2
My friend told me about this anime so I thought I'd give it a watch.
First off this Death notebook is quite interesting, and at least the protagonist is using it for the good. This L guy sounds like quite a character since he made Light

When they actually have a budget and want to they can truly make some incredible action episodes. Can't wait to see the season finale it's going to be a scream.

It's not the same thing as Geass, I think. In VVV things happen and characters react at face value to them, and the appeal (to me, at least) is the comedic factor of their actions rather than being surprised by plot twists. VVV seems pretty content to be a comedy too.
Geass was much more theatrical and melodramatic starting with Lelouch. As such the plot twists played a large role in creating the exhilarating tone. Especially the ones having to do with strategy/clever tricks with the Geass.
Random thought/question. The current Space Brothers OP - longest time for the name of the show to sit on the screen in total? First time it's on screen for 8 seconds, second time roughly 19 seconds so in total 27 seconds which is exactly 30% of the 1:30 running time!
Yea I completely disagree with that. I thought the music fit the horror vibe going on through the episode.

My thought when I first saw that opening was the animators decided to take it easy. The title certainly does stay up there for a long time.

Clearly Tsubomi is showing off why she's the protagonist for this series with that kind of bed hair, on top of perception on other peoples problems. What with Miura being upset that his dadplays idolm@sters instead of his work cares more about his ramen shop than supporting him with baseball. But he didn't exactly forget man.
Cobraja graces us with his flashy appearance, and made an example of how angst isn't a suitable power force for your MotW to run on, especially when said angst conflicts with each other. Oh well, at least Erika didn't make him feel like shit with unnecessary comments.

Still looks great. Still hyped!
Caught a few chapters of the manga and didn't seem half bad. I found the female lead to be kind of annoying... then I noticed that this is the same author of Toradora and then it all suddenly made sense!
Still though, the university setting is sort of refreshing in a sea of high-school romcoms so I'll probably give this a watch.
Doesn't look half bad either! I get more of .hack vibe than a SAO vibe from the PV.
All that :chet.

What's the opposite of a deus ex machina? Where inexplicable events occur to keep the cast in danger rather than save them from it? Cause this show does it all the fucking time.

Since it's related I might as well post one of the last things I laughed at from /a/.
:lol that's glorious
Hahaha, I haven't seen the lightning one before. Classic.
Porco Rosso
Seaplanes and air pirates! This tickled my Talespin nostalgia something fierce. A lot of animators seem to have some fondness for the culture and technology of the 20s and 30s; just look at Korra no Densetsu for another example.
Porco Rosso himself is unusual for a main character in a Miyazaki film, and I don't just mean because he's not a girl. (Although that was made up for by Fio...and Gina...and the entire extended Piccolo family.) I mean how he's very cynical and actively seeks detachment from the world, using his condition as an excuse to avoid engagement with people and events. Even Howl, who is sort of similar, is viewed mostly through someone else's perspective, but this movie sticks quite close to Porco.
Ghibli movies don't really have villains, is something I've noticed. There are certainly antagonists, and occasionally institutions which are unquestionably in the wrong, but rarely, if ever, are there individuals one can point and call evil. Like here,
I could go on forever describing how detailed and fluid the art and animation are, but this is a Ghibli movie and you probably already know.

the air pirates are all goofy and harmless, and even Curtis gets reconciled with Porco b the end, sort of.

Looks like things are about to get serious from here on out. At first I liked Light but

Dunsparce could fly!? Seeing him fly is kinda funny since he looks like the lazy type of Pokemon.

Devils and Realist 12 End
Well that was an awful ending, the first half of it was a flashback to Dantalion's time with Solomon which truly added nothing to the finale. The final "battle" itself was a joke and had virtually no ending it kind of just stopped. The angels didn't even bother to show up even they realized this ending wasn't worth it.
2.5/5 A very average show with some funny moments and decent battles but absolutely no pay off ending that gives me very little reason to want to watch an S2 if it ever happened.

Monogatari Series Second Season - 12
I like how they incorporated elements of Ren'ai Circulation and its respective OP animation into this new OP, then twist it around into something more sinister (I especially liked the synth at the end quoting a minor key version of the main instrumental theme from Ren'ai Circulation). I don't really care for Nadeko all that much as a character (and as such I'm rather salty that they skipped Suruga Devil for this, since Kanbaru is my favorite -- I know they're animating it next year, but still), but this seems like it'll be an interesting arc nonetheless. I'm not entirely sure how it's going to play out, though. I don't really know what I think about the new ED; my first impression is that it's pretty bland, but sometimes songs grow on me.
I have a question for the LN readers:
I haven't really posted in here that much at all recently. I've been kinda sick this week, plus I haven't watched much anime in the past couple of weeks, and even when I have watched something, everyone always seems to say what I want to before I can. I'm really bad at posting my impressions. And I'm sort of afraid to participate in discussions because I'm only a junior (and also because they only rarely seem to be about something I can comment on).

I think it was a couple episodes after that one that I finally decided to drop the series.

. Not sure how exactly she's going to "save the world" as the poster advertised but it's been a fun journey about friendship and magic. As long as the final battle is as good as the one between Uzume and blue haired girl I'll be happy.
