Heh, I thought you would like this show the moment you started it. Maybe I'll look into it myself later on.
What will you be watching next?
It was KyoAni fantasizing about writing a good anime while in reality beating themselves with toiletbrushes.
Just drop EVO. Watching how good they are is just depressing for me.

What a coincidence.
Beach episode then. At least it didn't end like it normally does.
And what happened 15 years ago? Did they sacrifice somebody? Will hopefully find out next episode...

Man I didn't know that KyoAni had that many not so good anime shows.
That honestly makes me want to see it. Although I fear how bad it may be.
It's got a website and everything. It just doesn't have a start date yet. They're aiming for 2014, but this only leaves Fall as a possible option.
I need this in my life. I should preorder it soon.

Eureka Seven - 8
In which Eureka gives a Bright Slap to a child.
So, I'm a little confused about
Ah well, when the characters have a bad feeling about something it's usually the cue that something important's gonna happen, so I have my hopes up.

the whole old woman thing. I guess she'll get explained later on but I'm more confused as to why Holland brought her with them after they got the money. Was it out of the good of his heart or something?

Fewer things I'd like to own more... and another reminder that I haven't seen/finished Kaiba and Tatami Galaxy.

That part at the beginning between Polnareff and the old lady was amazing
Fight was pretty solid but nothing spectacular especially for a 2 part affair.

Girls und Panzer Anzio OVA
As if it needed to be said: [best girl]Yukari's[/best girl] recon mission was fun and super informative. As expected of Yukari-dono. Also lmao at
.
Pretty good extended episode! Being 50% longer than an episode of the TV series felt like just enough time for setup before a good 20 or so minutes of tank action. Not particularly as engaging as some of the other battles but it certainly scratched an itch from no new panzer panzers in a while. Something about them seemed unusually fast paced compared to that of the TV series. Probably just trying to put as much content in here as possible, so good enough for me.
Pepperoni best Anzio.

The series composition was utter shit. Things that should've been built throughout the season resolved in 1-2 episodes except for one pandering episode that had hooks from 2 prior episodes. The new character had about 27 minutes of screentime through 6 episodes (90% in one episode) and yet the audience was supposed to emphasize with her when her plot started later? Ishihara and Hanada gave up on it and chose to pander to fans of season 1 instead of writing a plot to develop throughout the season. Hanada worked for Love Live instead and phoned it in. Sadly, the series pandered to one subsection of fans, which meant it wasn't a financial bomb.
Basically it went (spoilered):
1. Humorous re-introduction episode bringing most characters back and parodying re-introduction episodes
2. Nice romantic episode for reasons mentioned below
3. Introduced new character
4. Random Nibutani-focused episode (first time Yuuta/Rikka weren't leads)
5. Random Kumin episode
6. Decent school trip episode (no screentime for new character)
7. Continuation of school trip that introduced/resolved drama in 22 minutes
8. Random Deko/Nibu episode involving a creepy stalker
9. Beach pandering plus re-instituion of conflict near end
10. New character's conflict
11. Resolution of new character's conflict in a weak manner
12. Random "let's get the main couple to kiss" episode un-connected to anything since ep 7

The one bright point in the entire season was that episode 2 was directed by Ai Yukimura, a newbie from Madhouse. It was her first time directing an episode and it was very well done. I honestly can't think of anything else after that.
Of all 23 productions that Kyoto Animation had produced the animation for, I ranked it 24th after the logo they produced for a TV news program. Not an animation, the logo. It was that bad. People complained about Kyoukai, but this was utterly worse from the same series composer.

This definitely feels like X-Men and I have no problem with that. The OST was actually great and I'm interested to see what happens next.

Pyscho Pass New Edit first half of episode 1
So I can see why this turned people off, this is not the kind of topic you cover in the first episode of a series especially if it's not expertly written. With that said I think the fact the MC was able to talk the girl down from lethal to non lethal was good and while she still got paralyzed the series had already established that being paralyzed = chance to get therapy and recover. Yes this should have been handled better but it was not as offensive as I imagined it would be based upon the reactions I read.
Also I get the feel this is going the Minority Report route of depicting this kind of action as questionable and the MC and others will challenge if what Psycho Pass is doing is right. This was somewhat hinted at by how both people once labeled as "potentially dangerous" panicked at a rapid pace going more and more into a frenzied state. An environment that breeds panic that leads to more crime instead of preventing it.
Again it really will depend on how well this is handled and written... based upon how the first episode mishandled the rape victim and the vast amount of negative comments I've seen about the series... I doubt it'll happen

Subete no aware
I guess I can chalk it up to Star Trek: TOS syndrome where some dude just decided to have a Roman planet because he's an asshole who loves Rome. lol
I know it's a sea of stars, but outside of like ancient times, I don't know why anyone would have fleets of that size.
If nothing else it seems like a logistical nightmare, especially since everyone fights on a 2d plane!
I'm waiting for the point where I stop thinking about the silliness... hasn't happened yet though.
I haven't seen Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!?, but reading the summary for it I feel like I just watched this show...
That was the most random thing and it had me laughing my head off.

Psycho Pass New Edit 2nd half of episode 1
Akane is not a very good main character, she acts and sounds like a 14 year old middle school girl despite the fact I'm pretty sure she's supposed to be a young women in her 20's. I don't mind the 'she did what she thought was right angle not what the computer said was right' and they did establish her action saved the women's life who is on the way to recovery which is good. The problem is the first half of this episode was spent with her doubting herself like a middle school girl and being an incompetent cop despite apparently scoring an A at being good for this job.
I also have to wonder how the heck the technology works in this universe, if she's able to change clothes so easily are her clothes actually holographic and is she naked? Or is the clothing made out of some kind of organism/material that is able to change it's shape, size, and color? Same with the walls and stuff in her house, is her blanket able to change size and texture when it morphs or is it all holographic. If it is holographic then is this gonna be matrix where most of reality isn't real or something?
I'm thinking about this too much, probably more then the actual writers did lol
I dunno I like Psycho Pass but I can see why it didn't do anything for some people. It's got flaws for sure and I can't really call it a good show or a good first episode, but it was certainly entertaining enough that I'll keep watching it.

Between the hamburger tears and that, I'm hoping the unintentional comedy keeps rolling in. It's making this far more memorable than if it was strictly serious business.

Terror 1
Delightfully psychopathic. The two leads look to be an interesting pair. The scenery looked great and the action was very solid. I wonder how the girl they recruited will transform

Fairly sure that's the episode I stopped watching at. That ending was just way too ridiculous.Another 08
What a coincidence.
Beach episode then. At least it didn't end like it normally does.
And what happened 15 years ago? Did they sacrifice somebody? Will hopefully find out next episode...
Magimoji Rurumo 01
I didn't watch Yowapeda, but this work by the same author seems more like what I'm looking for. The show's decision to make Mimorin the star with her singing the OP and voicing the main heroine, I'm okay with. The more success any member of Milky Holmes gets, the better with me. Based on the first episode, I'm getting vibes of Heaven's Lost Property filtered through Witchcraft Works. Perverted humor all around - but even lowbrow comedy still has an art to it. And Rurumo's pretty cute. I'm used to energetic Mimorin, so deadpan Mimorin is an interesting casting decision.

I'm pretty sure if you got hit that hard, you would be flat out dead.
Help me. What can I do to tide me over until the show airs? I've already exhausted the doujin route, so now I have to delve into other content (I usually eat my dessert first). Should I like.. uh, try to play the game? Is there some other consumable form of this franchise?

Probably finally try and make some progress in G Gundam. And definitely try Hyouka out. Really enjoyable watch.
You're making me sad. If NIS America can get Toradora done than the least they can do is try and get Hyouka over here.
Hahaha. I knew you would get it. Probably going to be your best purchase of the month!!!

Nice. I missed my chance to get Season 2 since there was only a limited edition release. Still don't understand why FUNimation is doing a DVD-only S.A.V.E. release. I hope the lack of Blu-rays isn't going to be a new trend for S.A.V.E. editions.
At the very least, I was thinking Hide being eaten by his friend wouldn't have been that bad as he probably had all sorts of brain damage after the other ghoul kept stomping on his head.
You can either play the game like me, or read the manga, I think there's like 2 different mangas
