Weeeeelll... hmm... how's their record with dubs? Maybe it won't turn out awful? I mean, being better than Hideaki Anno is probably not a high bar to climb.

Hilarious. I know. XD
An unfortunate yet acceptable side effect.

I have no idea why he's trying to fight that kind of battle.
They're airsoft guns, and no, they don't really get the news here. Or at least they don't pay a whole lot of attention to it.
I can go and buy an airsoft gun from a store here with no orange tip on the barrel, go outside and run around with it. Nobody will freak out. Nobody will shoot me.
Why? Because that's the kind of culture that exists here.

K-ON! is promoting diabetes.
Is the one by Zac actually from SOS? He is such an incredible narcissist and it colors his views on just about everything, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised he had that kind of reaction. His complete disregard for other viewpoints, to the point where his taste is altered by a rebellious streak to be different, always results in hilarity.

Watashi Warui 01
This looks really good so far. I know the manga is highly praised too. Humour is right up my alley too.
Love Lab 01
I was afraid this would be too much like Yuruyuri, when in truth its more like Seitokai Yakuindomo, but with more yuri. WIll keep watching for now.

I... I don't know anymore T_T
I... don't really watch dubbed anime? (#ﾟДﾟ
ﾉﾞIt is. And I certainly understand the sentiment (probably part of why I don't play shooters at all), I find it a bit hard to pick on this for glamourising gun use. Then again this is a cute, slice of life real world anime rather than some dark fantastical escapist anime that has killing with guns in it.
Sounds pretty good to me. Y'know, my thoughts on this movie seem to grow fonder in retrospect. Definitely buying on BD.

Quick answer : ( hard day and i'm tired )
The thing is with milky rose is that when the other 5 caught up to her , she got ....AN UPGRADE that made her even more powerfull , and aside from the finale that was confusing in term fo power levels , i don't think they caught up with her.
As for catching up with cure Ace , it's still possible , as long as cure rosetta stop acting like regal ( symphonia ) and makopi finally decides to level up her game ( because let's face it it's been 10 eps where she was more than disapointing )

Minami-ke Okawari 13 (END)
If this is apparently the low point of the series, than I'm looking forward to the next two seasons. Okawari has all of the comedy the first season is known for with a nice addition of really feel-good moments that was lacking in S1. Milhouse (I honestly forget his name after every episode) brought more to the show than I was expecting and I was a bit sad to see him go. Real good stuff, will probably get around to Okaeri today or tomorrow.

This is why you don't hire your friends when you should be hiring professionals, going to wait for the english dub.
But he's right!
Nah but I figured it was a nice fit.

Gundam F91 Final
So I finished it, and what a train wreck it was. I'm trying to be understanding since it was supposed to be a full fledged series, that was what the vision was and money constraints limited it from being so, but jeez did the final product ever suffer!
-Characters: Seabook was an okay guy. He's a typical Gundam protagonist and there's not much to say beyond that, yet. My chief problem, really, was his relationship with Cecily, and not so much his side of it as hers. She starts the movie off barely knowing him, spends most of it away from him, and ends it wildly in love with him. I get it from Seabook's side since he'd liked her prior to the film, but I don't see how Cecily developed these feelings. Moving along from them, Iron Mask Carozzo is a problem unto himself. He angsts and then is suddenly reminded that he is Darth Vader so he up and tries to do some villainous things at the end I guess but meh. Everyone else has as much character development as a woman Johnny Bravo hits on.
-Pacing: Was terrible. Scene transitions are jarring and jagged and the film moves at a break-neck pace without any real explanation for why things are going on. Largely, of course, because this was supposed to be a series and wound up crammed into a twentieth of the time. One point even has Seabook literally shift scenes by turning to face a different direction.
-Plot: Was as good as "Nothing has changed since the end of the Universal Century. Now War breaks out again." can be expected to be, I guess. It waivers between being a traditional Gundam story and a stereotypical one.
-Mecha: Designs were okay, although the faces on the Crossbone Vanguards mecha were a little odd for Gundam, where non-Gundam mecha tend not to have 2 distinct eyes. The action scenes remained okay throughout for me, and the beam flag is a fun idea. The F91 is also a fairly cool Gundam.
-Animation: was decent enough. Easier on the eyes than anything in Gundam SEED.
I would have enjoyed Gundam F91 a lot more if it had been a series. As it is, its just a kind of subpar Gundam movie.

It's not the greatest love story ever told like SAO is.

Gou has a respectable appreciation for UPPER BODY. Enjoyed this episode much more. The characters clicked better and we got to see that good ol' fashioned sports drama angst.

All of the available points got stolen by their Dog and Scissors reviews.
I don't think ANN likes SAO. You might be thinking of Kotaku.
I'm having a gun-ota seizure.
Edit: Forgot the rest
The story is pretty choppy due to it having started as a TV series, but the animation is pretty great. It's not up to the level of CCA, but it's still well detailed (mostly; there are spots that lack) and very fluid during fight scenes. The mobile suit designs are a matter of taste I guess, but I thought they mostly presented original and interesting ones. The only one I remember disliking is Iron Mask's, but it wasn't outside the specs of other cyber newtype suits.
I think Cecily and Seabook knew each other well enough. Newtype's tend to bond with each other on a deeper level (and far more quickly) than normal people anyway. Iron Mask's crazy antics line up pretty well with other Cyber Newtype's that have basically lost their minds (pretty much all of them over the course of Z/ZZ).
Yeah. Zac reviewed it pretty venomously on the podcast, watched as prep for an interview with the anime director.

Natsume Book of Friends s1 1-7
Natsume's classmates are underrated and deserve all their screentime and more. Their so friendly and in a world in which there are anime in which characters will just ignore students in class and not try to talk to them, this really set itself apart by having such characters to earnestly try their very best to get Natsume to open up. I like it and where its going and hope more for them, even time outside of class, and maybe if he can come out to them about his own struggles and issues. Taname is also good too, but needs more coverage, while the class president kind of drags things down, which brings one point about the anime...alot of the scenarios can really be hit or miss and fast. If the spirit is uninteresting then it makes the episodes feel like they are lasting an hour and give the impressions thats its just boring, or rather, because the anime is what it is it is just plain relaxing, that these boring episodes will make me start dozing off. This is especially amplified whenever there is a long flashback sequence. Reiko's alright but still the humans are kind of limited by these spirits.
Will stick with it as its great and I have all these seasons, hopefully will finish this weekend...unless I get in a p4g mood.

Maybe you should watch one of the dozens of other cute shows we keep telling you to watch. Like Heartcatch.
Or he could keep watching something good.

For a split-second, I thought Katsura and Taisuke were having sex. I'm tired.
Makoto and Saionji aren't even hiding their shame, at this point. Oh, Katsura, please let this idiot go, already. ;_;
Hooray! Katsura being smart and calling out Kiyoura! Go~ Katsu. :3
Wow. Makoto didn't even resist Kiyoura when he finally dumped Katsura. I just...goddamnit.
By this point, I've already assumed that Makoto has already slept with everyone else. Yes, including the teachers. Oh hey, and Makoto's already found someone new to lie to, I'm so happy for him.
...This fucker didn't. Nope. No. I refuse to believe. This fucking show.
So, it's that kind of party, huh? Again, this show. :/
Katsura... :c
