Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu Episode 2: A solid outing and I like the club president, also for as odd as these girls profess to be, the comedy here is less zany then in other anime. Shit, Servant x Service is more madcap then this show, not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing right now. Also, I think I can safely call this a yuri after seeing some of those fantasy sequences.

Servant x service - 02
I think i've found my second comedy anime for the season ( after love lab )
The cast remain strong and the comediy routimes are already in place and quite strong ...
The new character is intresting ..i like the fact that she has her angry sign always on even on regular situations..

The anime pretty much uses the manga as a storyboard. The adaptation is really damn good. The only differences are parts being switched around and when characters get introduced. So much love went into this anime.
I'd imagine he has legions of LN fans bolstering it.
Kirito is still there? rofl.
I just hate it so much.

I thought it was going to be like Moyashimon.
But its better than Moyashimon!
Kirito is this decade's version of Kira Yamato. He'll be on there for a long while to come.

Was sure he was second or third favorite of the UtaPri characters, who wouldnt love him, and his awesome voice in this and lots of other stuff.
L-elf but no Haruto
And on the girls side, at least theres Lacus, and Yuki Mori for that Space Battleship Yamato 2199 love.

This and Branduil's impression from last week have got my attention. I'll have to start this soon. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about having any prior experience with the series.

She should have been voiced by Kobayashi. God damn casting companies, what the hell are you doing?!

What an odd Vividred placement. Like, it was a few seconds.
Also, yet another tsundere character. Bleh.
No cure for cancer, I guess.

Natsume Book of Friends s1 END
Second disc had the best moments of the series fully redeeming the ending episodes of the first seven episodes on disc one and really making this shine. Natori Shuichi is a vital component to the cast and has really cool abilities to match his dazzling good looks. I like how he sticks arounds and lends Natsume a hand as well as even Kaname too, friendship bond moment in 13 was probably the highlight of the whole anime, bringing things together well and getting me to really check out more.
The stories here were compelling
. It was just really feel good and what not. 9 / 10.

Natsume having the girl in him led to funny moments like when Kitamoto bumped into him and then started blushing at Natsume for that or even Kaname too later on, I was laughing, and then the concluding aspect of the harp. Then the other story there with actually gaining more friends to add to the book was unforgettable.

Yu Yu Hakusho, Flame of Recca, Hunter x Hunter (in a non-traditional sense), Konjiki no Gash, Shaman King (I have never seen the anime),
I know some people will disagree, but I thought the Chuunin exam was totally solid.
Just wait for the third season of Moyashimon which by the looks of second season sales is never happening
I really liked that. There was enough of a hook from ep to ep to keep one engaged. Hell, I really liked Naruto up until the Third Hokage fight vs Orochimaru or shortly thereafter. Watching it until then I was eager to see two top tier ninjas finally have a go and that delivered.
You liked watching the monkey hold on to the sword for 2 months?

Squid Girl OVA 2
Squid Girl can't beat a message in a bottle, what a loser.
You know what else she can't beat? Her poor sales ;-;

Spread out like you said addresses a bigger problem I didn't think about.Cardcaptor Sakura 27
Oh man. So many things from this episode to process.
First off, there was that very touching scene between Sakura and Shaoran where they both talked about their love for Yukito and how they both developed their respective crushes on him. Their relationship has come a long way since Shaoran was calling her stupid basically every step of the way, and they really have become friends over their time and mission together. For them both (especially Shaoran) to be so up front with each other about such personal matters was a testament to that.
Second, the relationship between Toya and Ms.Mizuki that Sakura saw when the Return card brought her back in time. Yes, it was indeed a relationship of love, one that ended abruptly when Mizuki went to study abroad. But the interesting reveal here was that Mizuki pointed out Toya's ability to "see what cannot be seen by others." There were of course hints of this; him seeing their mother's ghost in that one episode, him pointing out that Mirror was not Sakura and was not human, and that he's catching on to Kero being more than a plush toy. I'm very interested to see what role he'll play going forward. Does he have a role in all of this.
Oh, and during that scene, Mizuki also mentioned the "catastrophe". Obviously she knows about Sakura and the Clow Cards and all that, but really my question is, just who IS this woman? It's very hard to put a finger on it; on one hand, she really gives off the vibe of a genuinely kind, gentle, good-hearted person. On the other hand, there's this incredibly ominous aura about her, and there have been a number of times ominous music has played around her. Is she good? Is she evil? Is she neither, or both? Very hard to pinpoint at this time. Like Shaoran said though, sometimes scary things don't have scary faces. Maybe she's playing me for a fool. Or maybe she's something of a tragic character. I guess I'll find out.
This really was such a great episode, and the more I watch this show, the more I love it. It's very quickly becoming one of my favorite shows.

I started watching Naruto when it was only upto episode 17.

3k is pretty weak, you would have to rely on other factors to get a sequel out of that, like Weekly Shounen Sunday's anime blitz was probably the main reasons for TWGOK and Hayate getting more seasons. If a series can move cds, merch, original source it increases the chances quite a bit, though i personally like to see series I enjoy at least get 7k. But 2-5k aint no deathknell, as TWGOK's II 2k sales show, Symphogear S1 only did 5k as well, but TWGOK had the WSS push and Symphogear's sales where decent and I'm sure it sold a fuckload of cds.
Like looking @ Spring season Maou-sama and Yahari should mos def get 2nd seasons but Hentai Price is a bit shaky.
Did you ever stop?
I watched it in a day.
I marathon'd that shit too like 5 years back or maybe more, was still horribly drawn out, and everything else going on around it was better.

Servant x Service 2
That series is better than Doki Doki Precure
F cups are apparently small, and we have a potential ship. All was going well, and then the sister shows up.... and she's a tsun-dried. Confirmed worse character of the cast. This is me halfway through, I don't want to see how much more is here of this sister. Bleh.

It seems that the Magical Flowers meta-show will have some kind of recurring role in Servant x Service if the video at the bottom of this page is to be believed.
Seeing Gerbera Pink in this episode kind of freaked me out because I thought that it was a one-off original character drawn by a certain favored artist of mine a few months ago when apparently that particular PV had preceded Servant x Service's debut by a long time.

Tamayura: MORE AGGRESSIVE 2
Ganbatte!
For me, this is going directly into my veins. So many SatoJun moments. lol
And, I guess Maon ended up being the most popular character or something, because they seem to be going out of their way to make her "moe" aggressive.
And, this feels crazy, but yet another new character. That's three so far!
I need more!

Good, gives Toei competition
I'm sure they're shaking in their boots.
He was disappointed because Chibiusa wanted to be an adult for the wrong reasons. Pegasus cares about beautiful dreams, and Chibiusa had corrupted hers.
He's bummed out because it's fake. Don't cheat to achieve your dreams!Sailor Moon 158 aka that ep with hot grownup chibiusa
Suddenly chibiusa turns into the hottest of all the senshi and then pegasus is all bummed out because of it.
How is pegasus not a blatant pedophile?
Also, welcome back.

One thing I noticed upon rewatching Rozen Maiden 2 is that while Jun owns a flip phone,
his coworkers at the bookstore both own smartphones.
Keeping Jun technologically behind the times like this is a subtle way of highlighting his isolation from his peers and the world at large. A smartphone is the symbol of instant, ever-present connectivity; denying that symbol to Jun marks him as inwardly focused, lacking any connection with anyone outside himself.

It's appropriate that the only person who contacts him via his phone ends up being himself.
Yeah, the shorts have been really fun so far with great and colourful backgrounds.
