This reminds me that we should get the Hidamari special in three months.

All good things must come to an end (I at least assume Ume is going to end it soon), I just wish it wasn't Hidamari ;_;.

Talking of Yuno, did anyone actually buy the Nendo?

Second question would be how successful were you at applying the stickers?

I want to know this as well. I'm willing to shell out dough for Yunnochi but those stickers would probably drive me mad.

I think that's symptomatic of the various homages toward eras of the genre.You have these silly looking robots that represent form over function that slowly give way to other styles as the series progressed. The Gurren stuff looks increasingly out of place becaause it is as things went along because it's this representation of a bygone era.

I don't think it's the fact that they're referencing old mecha that make these ones look bad to me. I would argue that GL is a very poor example of the style it's homaging. There are plenty of form over function Super Robot mecha that look way better than anything GL has to offer. Take GaoGaiGar for example. That's a robot that executes the toy-like style, but doesn't look so overly busy like the Gurren Series. I'd say most of the Brave series bots manage to execute on that SR style in a way that Gurren's stuff falls flat on its face.

Futari wa Precure Splash Star 41

So yeah, we now have
villains coming back from the dead
. Not that I mind, since it's pretty fun to see
Kareharn and Moerumba back after so long
, and even more fun to see
them interacting with each other, which we never got to see in their original appearances for obvious reasons
. They also seem to be
significantly more powerful than before, which I guess makes sense considering how they were revived
. I'm not sure why I'm spoilering all this, since Toei clearly don't give a shit, they showed it all off in the episode preview last time.

All the fountains are actually restored now, which is kind of cool. I was kind of expecting the final fountain's restoration to be prevented somehow, or else one or more of the other fountains to be re-stolen. But no, all the fountains are now in top form. It's just the World Tree that still needs reinvigorating. And sadly, there's no way of doing that without
the Fairy Carafe, which Gohyarn has now appropriated for his own nefarious purposes
. So fountains or no fountains, things are still looking pretty tough for the Cures.

But it's not all bad! It looks like we are getting a couple of things out of the Fountain Restoration Completion! For one, Princess Filia is finally able to materialise and join the team proper. She doesn't exactly seem to be a big help, but the mascots are happy to see her, so that's nice at least. More interestingly,
Michiru and Kaoru seem to be awakening from their deep slumber in the depths of Dark Fall
! If it gets them back in action and joining the team as well, then the whole Fountain Restoration thing will have been 1200% worthwhile. Hells yeah.

Welcome to an awesome, and somewhat infuriating final stretch.

Utena 36

So, just so we're clear, Akio being engaged wasn't
enough to stop Utena from having sex with him,
but is
enough for her to not want to fall in love with him.
Just so everyone is entirely clear: Utena Tenjou is a selfish, horrible person. She was just a bad friend, but man, she done been crashing lately. Of course this is all because
a historical scientist is trying to take away her nobility so that his machine to kill God will grant him super powers or something.

LOLOL. It isn't like Nanami didn't try to tell you, Utena. LAWL.

Maturity, bitches.
So I'm like new to anime and stuff. I watched this show called The Melon 'n' Cauliflower of Haruhi Suzumiya and I think it's really good. Been watching it endlessly about eight times now, but I think it is time to move on. I see some people been chatting on the webs about some show called Lucky Star but I watched like one episode and it was well boring. Who in their right mind would watch a show about school girls just talking. Seriously can never see myself putting myself though that again.

Some analysis homework for Episode 37 if you're up for it.

No pressure, though. There isn't one right answer.

The production values are amazing. The battle scenes are amazing. WWII in space is always a cool thing to do ala Space Above and Beyond and LOTGH.
