Nothing worse then clamouring for the tissues before it is too late.
Well there is one thing worse. Being too late with the tissues.

I will say that I actually kind of sympathized with the main block of wood being passed of as main character, not really wanting much to do with that whole ball of crazy.

Thank you Hibiki for not loving dudes. Anyway, again, you might as well not bother trying to hope for a reveal soon. When I say it goes on for far longer than it should, I mean like...

Akeno is still best girl.
Highschool DxD S2
Opening: Probably end up skipping the majority of time.
Ending: Downgrade with the lack of poles
Feels just like I'm continuing watching DxD a week after seeing the finale, even though I haven't seen it since at least last year. Glad to see everyone from the club again, Akeno is still a massive tease and Issei is still that perv that you can't help but like. Already stated, but I'm pleased its still uncensored and not having any of those magical beams of light showing up when they're not needed.
Finger licking scene was Grade A+. Wish it lasted a bit longer though.

DESTROY THE GODDAMN WORLD
First half of this episode was filled with GLORIOUS BATTLE ACTION, with AERIAL FIGHTING and FOUR-ON-ONE BEATDOWN and GIANT GODDAMN LASER BLAST. But of course,
Gohyarn wasn't fazed by any of this, and just got up afterwards with barely a scratch to show for it
Then we got another giant revelation that we've been waiting for the whole series:
the Fountain of Sun is THE GODDAMN OCEAN.
Gohyarn's cue to perform the aforementioned WORLD DESTROYING, with the added disadvantage that the destruction of the Fountain of Sun means the weakening of the spirits that Saki and Mai use to transform! So they both end up reverted to civilian form at the worst possible moment.
But of course, as long as they're still alive, they're not going to give up. Drawing on their last reserve of heroic strength, all four of the girls, plus mascots, call out to all of the surviving spirits in the world to lend them their strength, and
OH FUCK YES ALL FOUR OF THEM TRANSFORMED. Saki into Cure Bloom, Mai into Cure Egret, and Michiru and Kaoru into new versions of Cure Bright and Cure Windy! (I don't know if they'll actually use those names, but THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT THEY ARE.) Finally Michiru and Kaoru's meaningful-name references are justified - they even got name-dropped in their respective "transformation calls".
So with one episode to go, now the REAL REAL TOTALLY FOR REALS THIS TIME YOU GUYS final battle can begin!
Gohyarn, you are SO going DOWN.

Yes. He has great taste in avatars!
One of the greatest things to come from animegaf.

That's pretty trivial. Hell I could do it. But what's the point?
Haven't been to the movies in a while. I'll be there this weekend though.
Might as well make use of the posting format if people are going to bother. Either that or switch it over to hasthtags. #kayos

I noticed we really don't have one for sakuga.
You'd be surprised how many could.
Yurippe > Yui
Sorrowful CG mystery drama with attractive female characters. Seems legit.
Sakuga needs no :emote.

[Giant Robo: The Animation: The Day the Earth Stood Still] 2
I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for this fucker, but
More Giant Robo means more shape-shifting super-heroes means more black-face spies means more wanton destruction means there's barely any time for robots. I'm cool with that, though. The direction is very strong, and despite the disappointing first ten minutes of reused footage from the first episode, this moves at an engaging speed without being hard to follow. Good anime --nay, good cinema.
I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for this fucker, but
it's a bit difficult when they have one of the villains randomly go into plot exposition mode in order to thoroughly describe the horrors of the world going into Shizuma Drive-lessness. Professor Shizuma just did the same thing to Beijing on a whim, which means TOTAL PANIC AND PANDEMONIUM. Hypocrisy much?

Perrine is a goddess so I accept this ranking. Though I accept all as long as all the witches are loved.
Anno wishes he could make something as good as Strike Witches.

Suddenly we have every Key anime.
There's not a whole lot of robot stuff in this truth be told. haly described it as something like a 'kung-fu energy crisis' or with ninjas or some such and he's not too far off.
Of note is that the characters are lifted from other works of Mitsuteru Yokoyama and sort of thrown together here which works surprisingly well. If you end up liking this, be sure to check out Shin Mazinger Z as Imagawa returns and does the same with Go Nagai stuff albeit with a considerably smaller budget.

I don't know if I'd call Key heroines "attractive" outside of Clannad, even then.

I hate sakuga, I'm really bad with anime productions and everything involved in how anime is made so that word was really hard on me.
I still remember that I made a thread about anime fights and the switch's to 3D. I didn't know that the word for that is sakuga, so it took me my whole thread just to figure out what sakuga is. Geez, I had to watch the whole parts of the meeting on sakuga just to figure out what it is.
Even after all the sakuga videos, I still can't tell the difference between good production anime episodes and bad ones. The only anime I can tell the difference between good and bad is Attack On Titan and that's only because they shove it right into your face if it's good or bad.
That word is going to haunt me forever
You might appreciate them more than I did. First is out there, second is kinda funny actually, and the third has this wonderful opening homage to Leone westerns before getting all serious.
Here's my old post that I don't remember writing.

Hols and Panda Go Panda aren't aren't entirely indicative of what kind of approach he will adopt later on. Stuff like Hols is more of an outlier compared to his other works such as: Heidi Girl of the Alps, Marco, Anne of Green Gables, Gauche the Cellist, Grace of the Fireflies and Only Yesterday. It's pretty difficult to argue against the fact that the majority of his catalogue of works share a similar approach.
More over, my earlier description would only appear boring to those who aren't interested in anime which attempt to replicated some of the realities of life in a grounded manner. I don't see why that's inherently uninteresting.

The amount of fanart and doujins they get sure runs counter to that though. Obviously there are a lot of people who disagree!
All Witches are good Witches indeed. Some are just loved a bit more! This was pretty hard to make.
