LOL that and something an npc said.
don't really want to but the feeling kept nagging me while playing.
That Persona 4 Arena final at CEO came off as confusing. Hopefully the organizers knew what was going on. The second prize trophy though was a Gurren Lagann Yoko body pillow, haha!
I just quickly decided to take a screen capture in the moment so I apologize for the lower quality image.

The way they made this show is weird... its like they expect everyone to remember shit from a show/ln from years ago.
So far the only thing that first time watchers would not get is why the satellite got destroyed and why touma is acting weird unless they watched index . Other than that the show is fine on its own and the show is trying to expand out to give more info than what the manga has done so far.

Why would you end the season on a flashback episode!?
This was actually a pretty big "OH SHIT" moment.
Why would you end the season on a flashback episode!?
Probably the OVA stuff.

Yeah I know, but still...
Oreimo seasons are unending.
This is like harping on the Dark Tower series from Stephen King that had years before each release because no one could remember what happened.
Damn internet generation has horrible long term memory.
Well, stop doing that, it's better than Majestic Prince and yet you're watching it?
I don't think it's about a real wide range of options at all times just a wide range of options for an opening attack.
I thought they were space angels?
I don't know what you're talking about but again, you're talking about something that's basically garbage. You're harping on sci-fi and bringing VVV and MJP to the discussion, two epic losers in a niche genre, sci-fi, in a outcast medium catering to children, man children and men who like children, anime, in a format that's not really known for quality sci-fi these days, television. And of that niche, of a niche of a niche product you find fault with two of the dumbest shows in recent memory and use them to paint a swath over the entire industry.
It's not even that I disagree with you, just, what do you expect with the crap you're watching? Did either of these shows ever present themselves as serious or imaginative works worthy of bearing the weight of all of sci-fi tv, let alone just anime? Have any of the writers involved ever given any indication or shown a knack for writing good sci-fi? Lol, no. Ichirō Ōkouchi, who shares my birthday, is about the closest person on there regarding space shit and the only good thing he's done in space was an adaption of Planetes.
I bemoan a lot of shit here but this is akin to me watching Oreimo and then going around and bitching about how crappy romance anime is. Which it is but do I really wanna hold up Oreimo as its flag-bearer?
I think lots of people are waiting and wanting a good sci-fi anime but sometimes you gotta temper your expectations and know when to actually expect something from a show.
what?

I asked if Jaxel getting his own thread was necessary.
Now now, it cant possibly sink THAT LOW.
This season has been pretty good to the point where Ill actually miss most of the shows I watched.
Just post it on a weekday at night. It will get buried in seconds.
Hyped up shows fall very hard around here. Its kind of funny.
Im going to miss Excel Mermaids too.

Detective Conan 233:
This is one of the most hilariously low stakes cases ever, but the episode is still really good because it has a lot of scenes with Conan and Haibara reeling from the recent events. Haibara has spiraled down into despair after believing that the Organization is back on the trail, and she has some great lines here. It's also funny when she starts comparing herself to Marie Antoinette and wants someone to react after she gets guillotined. The fact that there's some dumb mystery involving a missing dog is pretty much entirely irrelevant, as this episode is all about the characters and how their dealing with recent events. Conan at this point still seems rather unconcerned about the events on the bus, but I guess he just hasn't gotten completely awakened to everything going on around him yet.

*Yawn* After being gone all day, doesn't look like I missed much of anything. I'm looking forward to catching up and finishing HenNeko, Muromi-san, DokiDoki Precure(Hopefully), and maybe watch some more YuruYuri or Motto To Love-ru
and not nearly get myself into trouble this time!

It feels like it did. Doesn't help that I'm watching this at a once a week pacing, which I didn't have to worry about with Max Heart.

Did people purposefully try to come in second?
You just got Aniplex'd
So much good stuff lately. You've been busy.
So watching Doki doki is like taking shots, whereas watching Max Heart was downing the whole fuckin bottle?
You guys aren't also like this?

Screw money (assuming that's what the first place prize is). I'd lose on purpose to get that.

This is probably a little too late and you've probably already started watching the last episode now, but watch past the credits. This is important.
Truth.
(Haven't seen this episode yet but I assume "dangerous" is "yabai" as in "dangerously awesome.")

Also I love how Keima just sits their and say "I'm just an innocent bystander," lol. A decent episode, though I'm not used to the action in this show.
Oh yeah I almost forgot to mention, I liked the first season's opening better then this season's. First season's opening was great.

Man, it's really sad what happened to this show; the rushed schedule has really impacted the potential of the show. Even in this episode there were a number of incoherently edited scenes that were obviously not finished in time for airing. And what makes it sad is that it's obvious that this is a labor of love for a lot of the people working on this show, but there's just not enough time for them to realize their efforts. Hopefully the show is profitable enough and the producers have enough vision to release a Director's Cut with a bunch of stuff fixed some time in the future.
That said, this was a substantially better episode than the previous ones in pretty much every way. The pacing was finally good, and the climactic moment of the arc was handled with the appropriate care and gave the proper feeling of
I really don't think a week is enough of a break to get everything back on track. We'll see how well it works, and if the pacing goes off the rails again.

Holy crap, it's like this show walks right into another anime with every episode. Here we have the classic: "Heroes are mistaken for gods" trope, but instead it's played in a very unique way.
We have Kamina pissed with the way things work there, and here I thought that this priest dude was going to end up becoming the old "I've been lying for years because I'm a jackass" villain cliché. But actually no. Instead they portray him as a man who deeply cares for the people deep down, and does not want the people to know that they're being sent to die.
So what does he do? Make the surface appear to be a wonderful place where people chosen by the gods go. No one has to know of the suffering. Cruel, but what else can they do in a place like that with its limited resources? They did a really great job with that dilemma.
I love the show's way of pacing in events in between episodes. I love how the characters are actually doing interesting things while continuing on in their goal. It's like if the million filler episodes of Pokémon actually had good stories to them.
But then again, this is only the fifth episode. Here's hoping it stays on this route.
