Yeah Im kinda wondering where our money went for the LWA2 project too lol.
ABSOLUTELY WATCH IT
Its beautiful and cute, and all the things that make happiness.
Tokyo ESP 05
It has begun. I'm not sure what Murasaki can do myself, but having an explanation for where the powers come from and a clear antagonist is moving this closer and closer to the in media res opening. That didn't take very long for things to go from "fun with powers" to "the city is in danger of being taken over."

Just did that and it hit home

I've grown increasingly concerned that Hito may have actually been a ghost all this time and your watching Doremi finally gave him peace enough to pass on.
This post really gets me.

RIP Hito. You were a good fella. I'll watch some Sailor Mercury episodes for you later.

I... kind of liked this episode. The poor dog, the body horror elements, the terror of being in a dream you can't control, the tension produced given that they forget it all when the wake up, it's was all fairly well done, as the production.

One of my favorite episodes of the show. Just adorable, I can't wait for season 2!
That was very heartwarming, Nafe. =)
Wh.. Ando...? Guess I'll donate for the action.

Bravo. This managed to top the previous episode is stupidity and lewdness. Just when I thought they couldn't get any worse on TV, they stripped the big boobed girl down to her panties with stupidity. The "sentimental" scenes can't be sentimental when they just ran away from cats and they are highlighting her panties from underneath her shirt. Also, stupid how the criminals that happened to be at the museum not only managed to rip off her entire shirt from grabbing from behind but also get the bra too. Let's not forget adding a childhood friend line for this character because why not. I'm half expecting this to turn into a hentai by the end of the series.

I really have to praise this show for the creative animation sequences used during thought processes or mysteries.
Also pretty much the entire cast has grown on me quite a bit and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself even though one would think some solving these kinds of mysteries can't make for the greatest plot.
I'm usually not one for cute girls and what not. But damn, Chitanda is like the cutest character ever, without feeling like that's all she is.
This current 'mystery' from episode 10 was really fun. Not sure if this small arc is over now or if it'll continue, considering the slight cliffhanger.

I've started watching Vampire Princess Miyu TV like he asked me to a while back. Hopefully ghost Hito approves.

Huh, that's a pretty big deal. And a smart way for them to advertise the series to a new generation.
I just watched Glasslip 06.
To start, Kakeru is still a prick. The characters don't feel very distinct, and it feels like nothing's really happening. It's like a romance anime that's had every other element but the romance stripped away from it. Usually you get all sorts of other things mixed with the relationship drama, whether it's some sort of event happening at their school, or the characters all go for an outing together. Here their outing is just sitting around a table and talking, something they've already done. It's boring me.
The stuff with Hiro and that girl who likes books (I've forgotten her name) feels so completely separate from everything that's going on. You know what it reminds me of? That couple parked by the side of the road in Manos: The Hands of Fate. They just don't seem to have anything to do with the story being told. Not to say this is as bad/boring as Manos, but still. Hopefully things will improve.

Between this and Sailor Moon, it got a whole lot easier to catch up on my magical girl history. For one of my favorite genres, I still have a lot of the classics to watch.

This is definitely an '80s anime. You've got monsters, demons, tentacles, sex, rape, horny old guy, secret organizations, and more. It's also unintentionally funny at times, at least to me. Like in the first 10 minutes,
cracks me up. It's such an awkward looking movement.
The story is ok. The animation's nice. Unfortunately, I don't really have much else to say other than I enjoyed it. At least if I don't want to spoil too much.
I'm really not great at giving impressions it seems.

the main character is banging some chick who turns out to be a demon, who then attempts to kill him by turning into a four-legged spider chick with a deadly vagina that's somewhat reminiscent of the Vagina Dentata from the movie Teeth, but taken to the extreme. I think that's where the web shoots from as well. Anyway, just the way it looks when she escapes

Gotta sell those BDs.
Huh, will have to check this out. Is the dub any good?

Glad you're enjoying it. Chitanda is amazing.
I want the BD's so bad. NIS America please acquire the license and deliver us Hyouka Blu-rays!!!
It's an Animax dub, and those are not the best.

It has no UWEEEEEEEEEEs or Hanyans so it's worthless.
IBlack humor aside, I've always had terrible timing and this is probably the worst I'd ever managed.
The second worst is getting the top of the page just now.
I'll just say one more thing. For me, one of the saddest things about a beloved one's passing is the idea that they no longer experience the world and its happenings that the rest of us continue to be a part of. From this moment on, every event, advancement, and occurrence is a moment that people like Hito will have no knowledge of. Whether you pass on today, tomorrow, or in 50 years from now, life is far, far too short. Having this happen prematurely and unexpectedly feels like a cheat. Even though it's temporary... being here is a privilege. Cherish every moment.

I was going to go one step above your joke that day and picture quote his avatar with a "2004-2014" but I immediately erased it thinking it was in bad taste. How right I was. Don't feel too bad, I feel guilty enough already for typing that out.
This reminds me of when my high school friend hung himself early college. Days before the act we were joking about how he's probably dead since he wasn't answering our calls. Guilty conscience is a killer. Maybe that's what stopped me.

Lol at Vin diesel still being Groot. The most appropriate by far is space dandy. Since nobody knows who he is.

I remember reading Vin did the voice of Groot for every dub of GotG.
Not hard with only one line.

I can see how the series cut corners in a lot of places. The plot ultimately did hold up in the end. Because of the violent, bloody nature of the fights and the constant threats of sexual assault on the girls, despite the constant clothes ripping, it was only erotic a fraction of the time - mostly the pool and hot springs episodes. Otherwise, the show was just as focused on its fighting. That everything ended with
is something that's bound to have consequences down the line, and would be a strange place to leave off on, but I know I have three more seasons to go. It's not the most polished piece of work I've seen, but it has a few ideas behind it that later seasons could hopefully refine a bit. I still prefer Koihime Musou as the superior genderbent Three Kingdoms work.

I've held a pair of yuri goggles close for as long as I can remember, and this is one of the more famous yuri series in the anime world. The first three episodes formed a nice little mini-arc with Yumi and Sachiko ultimately getting together. Such a huge contrast from the above show. Talking instead of violence. Highbrow instead of lowbrow. And a slightly greater amount of yuri. Yumi's pretty cute, and Sachiko's an interesting character with her facade that hides a fragile person underneath. I've seen this in several other series, both parodied and exaggerated (for example, I own Strawberry Panic!), and seeing it here, it's low-key but still filled with a lot of heart, and the plot possibilities can only open up now that Yumi's been chosen.
This is also one of the rare anime I know of that has an instrumental opening and ending theme. Both are nice pieces, and very fitting of the tone. All classical and piano and violin.

LOL did they just have the Argevollen capture the entire enemy base OFF SCREEN?! What's the point of even having a super robot in your mech series if you never show it even actually doing other then failing?

The Idolm@ster Ep. 3
Been a while since I watched an episode. I'm coming to the conclusion that this series is really not for me. More and more it feels like a children's show but for otaku. Phobias are so moé. Gag me. For their first performance, I was kind of expecting something more in terms of animation. The thought just crossed me mind that this is very similar to the first season of K-On! but worse.
Edit: The focus on Yukiho's fear of men makes the scene where Chihaya is hit on by the middle-aged man worse. Way to not have any awareness, show.

YuruYuri 12 [Season 1 End]
This was a funny and enjoyable show. I am very much looking forward to season 2. Akari took a lot of abuse this episode. She doesn't deserve any of it.
Poor Akarin!!!

I dropped it not long after this. People tell me it gets better later, maybe it does.
