SAO 07
Kirito destroys a masterpiece.
And he gets a new sword made from dragonpoop metal. This episode was actually a little bit funny, so that's good. And I guess that picture on the wall will have some meaning later on?

SAO didn't get horrible for me until the second part, which I literally stopped watching and only saw the highlights afterwards.
Not to say part 1 didn't have hilarious shit.

Lol, thanks. I just saw the movie recently. It was more of an action movie than a mystery movie, but it was still pretty entertaining. Do all of the Conan movies lean towards action movies or was it just this one?
I can kind of agree with this. It turned from laughably bad to offensively bad and watching it was just putting me in a sour mood.

Pretty much this. From so bad it's good, to just fucking stupid and boring but had some amusing unintended humor. SAO II has been amusing me more in the former, I really do hope it doesn't jump the shark.
Which movie did you see recently? There's 19 of them including the Lupin crossover. And they're all relatively the same in terms of content. Some of them lean a bit more towards mystery and some a bit more towards thriller/action, but they typically all fall somewhere in-between the two.

Yugioh Arc V Episode 21
Could have had more dueling as the Sora/Yuzu-oneechan dual polymerization thing and posing was pretty fun. Otherwise heavy on the plot. I wish a few more details would come up as I am starting to imagine sort of what is going on but not quite because a few pieces are missing.

I'm really weary about wanting to watch SAO II after the second half of SAO. I saw like one episode and "NOPE'D" out til the end of the season lol.
Oh sorry, the most recent Lupin crossover. I generally only read the manga, so I didn't know what to expect.

I feel the same, great animation but feel hollow.. in fact that's how most of episode from S2 goes.
Arjuna 2
This was really weird. There was a scene during all the action moments, 2 characters were in a power reactor risking their lives trying to shut it down before it explodes or something along these lines. Then after one of them was injured he started talking about steam trains and then the other character started lecturing the audience I guess about how nuclear reactors are not economically viable and they shouldn't be used. Just why would anyone think this is the right time to go on some environmental rant. At least do it at the end of the episode.
The music was really wonderful though. Despite the crappy ugly CG for the monsters, the music helped a lot in making the action scenes tolerable.

Well at least they make Mila's boobs smaller to fit what LN wrote lol
Cardcaptor Sakura 23
"Does anyone else find it freaky that Zoidberg is singing harmony with himself?"
Not so much freaky as it was heartwarming. I love music-based stories, and what I can infer about Sakura from this episode is simple. She's okay with Clow Cards, and fears ghosts more than Cards. But she loves Yukito more than she fears ghosts. And Tomo is there to record everything. Better respect it, Meiling.

The music is amazing Yoko Kanno excellence but you havent seen WEIRD yet.
I really loved the new special, for the reasons you've outlined here. Even if the story wasn't a "satisfying" narrative, I was more than satisfied getting this unique glimpse at Mushishi's world. While there's already been episodes focusing on other mushishi (I think season one had one near the end), this one was interesting to me because of that unsolvable problem. Ginko knows he can't just change the entire way a clan operates, as much as he hates their methods. Seeing how diverse the practices of other people in Mushishi's world are really made the episode for me, and I thought it was nice to have a reminder that Ginko can't fix everything. It adds to that natural feel the show has.
Kinda surprised not the usual 12.
you met the best girl
hope for kyoanus yuki-chan get
see even jbug agrees
Didn't he meet Klein in episode 1 though?
SAC easily.

Sailor Moon 33/34
Wow two back to back story episodes that move the plot forward a ton, these episodes I remember almost scene for scene from my childhood and I can't really think of any major changes they had. Were great then and are still great now

When the question is SAC or almost any other anime the answer is always SAC, the list of anime people would recommend over SAC is very small and are considered all time classics like SAC

Ah, Canuck with his typos. lol
But really, there's not much to talk about I guess. I did talk about Hanamonogatari and The Congress myself!

Honestly whichever studio exec thought that was a good idea is an idiot. It looked like shit.

$70 million for that shit? Something tells me it went through development hell that made its budget balloon that high.
I've seen better quality CG in Disney channel tv movies.

Looks like they unwisely opted for a celebrity voice cast.

And apparently they didnt even market it that much either. These fools deserve to lose money.
Anyone with a brain in their head could see that coming.And we though anime bombas could be bad.
I'm sure someone involved did, they just didn't have the heart to tell everyone else.

Yu Gi Oh Arc V 13
Disappointing non finish to the duel, guess it was too early in the series for the main hero and main villain duelist to have a final battle.

Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito 06
Still no coherent plot, "nudity" in every episode and more bad dialogue about how great women's assets are.
I legit almost fell asleep during this. I was only brought back from my slumber when someone messaged me on Line.

YGO Arc V 15
This show honestly feels very similar to ZeXal in it's story structure, almost like YGO ZeXal done right. The teases of another world, shenanigans that makes battles real, and an evil corporation that may have ties to it.

Strike Witches - 4
Pretty okay episode. I suspect from episode 3 onwards, the show is just going to be about each one of the girl's backstories? I can live with that. I mean, if the villains aren't going to get a spotlight then they might as well develop some good character drama for the heroes.

Earth Maiden Arjuna 3
This Chris guy is an asshole. Even I don't know whatever the fuck it is he wants from Arjuna. "But you said that these things are devouring the Earth and that I need to protect the Earth". "And yet you would kill them just for that?"...What?
Also, don't eat strange mushrooms you find in the woods.

There's no way that movie cost $70 Million, unless there was some scam involved. Koreans probably animated most of that for 10¢.
