RE: Cutie Honey is a tooooooon of fun. I need to give that another watch.
Also, those Kill la Kill scans fill me with secret sauce.
Of awesome.

So pretty awesome movie. Much better than I expected. JC Staff really pulled it off past my expectations. An Interesting Story Arc, Amazing music, all my favorite characters having tons of air time and plenty of badass scenes.

Watched the latest Ah My Goddess special. Really disappointing I'd say, doubly so given how infrequent these things are. I wanted I guess another chapter in the main story, instead I got a throwaway about Belldandy and crew granting the wishes of some other random person who called/was granted a wish.

Genshiken Nidaime - 10
As they say, it's always better to get things out in the open. Though in real life things may not always go so smoothly.
+10 for Gintama cosplay.
I may not be able to relate to the characters as I could in the first series but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the series. Nidaime has been highly entertaining in its own way. No doubt it turned many fans away but that is to be expected. Thankfully I'm not so close minded that I don't accept change.
edit:
it does take a bit to get used to but hey, it is what it is. After a few episodes that became a non-issue. I guess I can be good at just letting things be.

I know the recasting of voices alienated some folks. I know it took me ages to kind of get over that. Still don't like that.
As for the subject matter...well my impression was that its just like the manga, so I imagine not. Or at least not to any great degree.
I kinda like it. It isn't even sexy or anything, just ridiculous and over the top.On other hand, this does not.
Ugh.
Sawano doing the soundtrack is the only bad news here. Should have been Iwasaki.

Sawano has managed to get his grubby hands into a number of works recently. duckroll, you have to do something to take of this before it gets out of hand!

Wait what you guys don't like Sawano what the.....I don't even his guilty crown composition was awesome.

We were all defeated the moment he was announced as the X composer.
Sawano J-pop stuff is embarrassing to hear, in the X trailer and in guilty crown.I am up to date on the manga. I don't really know what you could be referring to. There are three episodes left for Genshiken Nidaime and there are no good stopping points within the remaining unadapted manga. (maybe manga spoilers or something, who cares though)
Right now in the manga things are pretty much unchanged. If anything there is more turmoil and uncertainty regarding both Hato as a person, and the same goes for Madrame's relationships within the club. There is an entire extra Comifest plus stuff before that, and even reaching the point of where the manga is will yield no results. To me there isn't really even a climax within the content they have left to adapt, but on top of that there's also no resolution to the characters currently in the spotlight.
Genshiken has very deliberate arcs and a solid grasp on the passage of time with characters evolving as they grow together and apart. Nidaime has been pretty bad when it comes to this stuff because it's mostly caught up in a "will they/won't they" situation that has begun to drag out eternally.
Soul Link 2006 - Aint heard it.
Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na: Crescent Love 2006 - Aint heard it.
Kishin Taisen Gigantic Formula 2007 - Avg with a few good tracks.
Zombie-Loan 2007 - Main theme is nice but rest is avg.
Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings 2009 - Good, but nothing special.
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 2010 - quality with a capital Q, His best work.
Sengoku Basara II 2010 - Same level as the previous series.
Blue Exorcist 2011 - Awesome effort, his second best work by a mile.
Sengoku Basara: The Last Party 2011 - Prob better than the tv stuff.
Guilty Crown 2011 - I gotta show everyone else that I can make vocal songs like Ryo!
Blue Exorcist Movie 2012 - A step down from the tv series.
Attack on Titan - Outside of a few good moments, meh.
Iwasaki da gawd was robbed.

This was a very poorly directed episode. It wasn't put together that well, as the composition of scenes kinda screw with the flow of the episode, and the action scene was somewhat anticlimatic. This episode also confirms my issue with Sawano. It's that I wouldn't mind Sawano doing a few songs on an OST but he shouldn't be allowed to do the full thing.
Oh and this:
Yea, I noticed this too and it's blatant as fuck. They don't give any shit whatsoever about even trying to display how the tech or physics in general work. They might as well be using jetpacks for fucks sake.

Subete no aware
I'm still salty about Madarame, because he is basically a main character and his voice is so specific (I feel bad that I don't remember what Ogiue sounded like, but that's just how memorable the nerdy Madarame voice was I suppose).
I'll be curious to see how well the series sells in Japan. I know for the manga, they did the stupid retailer exclusive stuff for the first volume a couple of years ago, so I assume that does well. Male nerds seem to be okay with being represented as sadlifes (well, enough to get two seasons, an OAV and a spinoff anyway), so I guess it might follow that female nerds would like to see themselves on screen anyway.
Either that, or it's male nerds laughing at female nerds and their obsession with yaoi.
I dunno. I do love that the one male main character who is essentially the "Sasahara" of the new show/book is fairly unrelatable to the typical otaku audience though. (Even if the ghost of yaoi is a silly personification of Hato's desires).
All that said, with what is happening in the manga... I feel like there's really only one thing they can do without completely betraying the old manga.

RIP everything.
Check mark means "wrong" in Japan. Correct answers are marked with a circle.
I didn't like Karen much when she was first introduced. Felt like she was kind of obnoxious and unnecessary when Alice already had the foreigner angle covered in a much more adorable way. She won me over in the end with her sheer genki-ness, though. Karen is not the best, but she's certainly up there.
You make this sound like it's a bad thing. And she got to meet the guy of her dreams into the bargain. I think this works better as an argument for following glittery butterflies down alleyways rather than against.

To be fair, Smile has the shittiest introduction arc in the entire series.
.....although I would say Doki Doki is around there for making them better than what they'll end up down the road.
Yes! Precure 5 contains the most blatant proof of all that the wellspring of Cure names can never be exhausted, though. Because they can use whatever the fuck random words they feel like.

I havent had much issue adjusting, although I was also turned off by the voice changes at the beginning. But eventually the overall quality and humor of the new show won me over.

Why is the blank answer ticked then? Big-butt sensei should only mark incorrect answers like normal people!
If you had the time to stop and think about it you'd realize it was trash.

shocked were approaching the final battle so soon, I guess the next arc is starting when fall season rolls around? Im just glad for more Phantom Troupe, hope Feitan does good stuff this time. Underrated
Favorite moment of this episode when Gon did Janken (looked great) was
Killua stepping in, was so unexpected and really good. I thought Gon would really go through with it but Killua with that Gon sense and able to read things. Nice.

Overall this was another good arc, though Mayoi had surprisingly little screen time.

finally (kinda) see Oshino again, awesome how he was able to figure out Koyomi's every action.
I'm starrting to see that, with Dream, Rouge, and now....
Yes! Pretty Cure 5: 03
Cure Lemonade. Nice character and all, but Lemonade? Also, Coco teacher is the best, abandoning his class like that.
