Aikatsu I think.
Aikatsu.
Looks a lot better.
It's Aikatsu episode 38; the staff has been getting weird with the oddly well animated minor scenes.
I checked the manga and it looks generic as fuck, it doesn't deserve having such gorgeous cover art.
I hope Mochizuki can rise above that and deliver a good product, like they're apparently doing with Rozen Maiden (haven't watched it yet).
Well Community doesn't, The Office doesn't! point me, I don't know about Friends, I gonna ask my momma.
Maybe HIMYM will (but hahaha, who cares)
How much of it did you check?
Ohh shit. Directed Nanoha As? Soooooooold.
I read all the translated chapters. The story is... uh, interesting, I meant the art was generic.

Very true. When I first heard the dub I couldn't really think of any good VA's that could voice Gintoki. Kagura and Shinpachi seemed pretty simple but I couldn't think of a good one for Gintoki. I was thinking Troy Baker could do a good Gintoki since his performance on Kanji and Vincent from Catherine showed that he'd be good at the sarcastic/shock voice.
I'm just happy to see that the Gintama movie was Eng dubbed in the first place. It shows that NA really likes Gintama and they took the time to dub it.
The best I could do given how small the face is in your avatar:
Hmmm. But Komugi looks so fabulous with her shades!

Servant X Service 1
First things first: Chihaya is best girl. Lucy is pretty great too though! Also, this must be the season of ahoges or something. And
.
Loved the OP too, but overall sometimes I wondered if A-1 put their B-team on this, as the animation looked a bit weird at times (at one point Hasebe's head looked way, way too small for his body). Still, definitely enjoyed it, and going to stick with it.

I'm certain that it's going to be Hasebe's father who allowed Lucy's ridiculously long name to go through

Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen 1
As I only recently watched the other two anime series, this wasn't as difficult to follow as I was expecting. Though, the stuff with Hinaichigo was really friggin confusing.
Still, it was damn fast, and I imagine someone with no knowledge of this franchise would be overwhelmed by the amount of time you're given to process each super important piece of information, which isn't much before some other crazy thing happens. This seems more like a "which scenes would you want animated with good production values" request for manga fans rather than a coherent product to follow the basic rules of narrative structure.
I will say this looks great now that the franchise has entered the shiny modern era. I'll probably follow it for now.

Full Metal Panic! Another Volume 2
Ok, that was really enjoyable. A lot of volume 2 is spent on Tatsuya going back to Japan and attempting to balance two very different worlds. It's hardly super dramatic, but it's a lot of fun. Lina is growing on me a lot, especially the way she
The final battle was also pretty great too. You win, FMP! Another. I'm 100% on board.
Onward to volume 3!

feels guilty for tearing Tatsuya from his peaceful life. Seeing him get better as a pilot is a great thing to be proud of, but she realizes that she's bringing him into a world he was never apart of.

Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu 1
TEA AND CAKE! And then what we really are! Sort of reminded me of K-On! right there.
I like how they got off at calling Yura a weirdo, but that's because they're also weirdos. I will be sticking with this to see where it goes, because cute girls with weapons seems to be the best genre ever.

"My dream is going to break..."
"She's too amazing!"
"Is this the 'two-timing' I've heard about?"
Just... yeah...
It actually is, but the colors are so similar that it's hard to tell. Lack of facial detail is why I never do full body avatars!

She's certainly precocious for a Sailor Senshi of justice and love. Or maybe it's because of it!
Stuff I watched today
C3-Bu -- Fun characters. Hope we get more
like the first one.
Servant x Service -- Alright for now. Never watched more than a few episodes of Working so I don't have that to really compare it to. Hope the variety of gags increases in the next couple episodes.
I just realized Ai Kayano has a major role in both the above shows, btw.
Kitakubu -- I'm glad some of you enjoyed it, but this is doing nothing for me. Won't continue.

Hey, man, they're just reincarnations, not necessarily CHOSEN ONES in the sense that the power sought them out because of their virtue. Sailor Moon is still progressive for mahou shoujo in that purity isn't a requirement to have the power!
The fact that Haruka and Michiru are scissoring all night errnight was proof of that already.
Is your avatar supposed to represent condom use?
Is anyone subscribed to Funimations site for streaming? Would you say it's worth it?
I believe DTL is. He can likely give you some insight if no one else can.

I think that one is Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku.

Lately their site hasn't been working well (I can't get HD video for Red Data Girl to play at all) but supposedly they're re-launching this month.
Whether it's worth it or not is a matter of looking through their catalog or simulcasts and seeing if there's something you want to see in HD or that's exclusive to paid members.
With a few exceptions, Funimation stuff isn't on Crunchyroll or TheAnimeNetwork, but they do have (some of?) their stuff on Hulu (in SD) and on their Youtube channel.

[Fresh Precure!] 23
I know Toei pulling the fourth Cure card at the title screen only to not show her until the very end is a staple, but it doesn't get any less irritating.
I also just realised that Toei reused a bunch of tracks from Fresh in Heartcatch. Good music, but the recycling is nonetheless disappointing!
Dragon Ball Precure.

I hope the mini-arc with Setsuna not wanting to be a Precure gets resolved soon, because I think we've already had enough moping as much as I like seeing Eas in various states of despair.

Pfft PMs please. I do it in the open. Anyway, give it about 3 more episodes.
EDIT: For such a pairing, there isn't a lot of material on this pairing. It's not right....
Not gonna lie Im on board for it too!
More like four.
There's Stella C3-bu, where the club is about shooting each other with model guns.
There's Love Lab, where the club is a Student Council, but they spend all their time doing what the title implies, ie. faux yuri.
There's Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku, where the club is a "going-home club", which I presume means they just do whatever the fuck they feel like. Haven't actually started watching this one yet.
And finally there's Kin'iro Mosaic, the only one that hasn't started yet. It may or may not involve an actual club, but looks like the same kind of show either way. Cute girls doing cute things. And one of them is English!
...Why am I at work right now, I want to be at home watching the anime I didn't get around to yesterday =(

The screenshot I posted is from Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku (Going-home Club) it's a horrible looking show that was so bad that that I didn't finish the first episode before dropping it. The humor was poor, but even if it hadn't been, I don't think my eyes could have handled it.
I've heard good thing about Love Lab, it's our last hope.

Im at work now but in 2.5 hours im totally watching all of these.
