I love this series a lot. Cant say it hit too close to home for me but its a pretty fascinating look into hikikomori thoughts and actions and how people deal with it.

Glasslip Episode 10
This show is still frustrating. I totally jumped the gun last week with my anger towards the actions of certain characters. Because this episode quickly diffuses that, and shows that these actions were something else completely. Which is fine, that's why you don't make assumptions. But in the end, I wonder if this action really...was worth it? If it made sense? If it had enough weight the way it was executed?
I do get it I suppose. But I guess this is a show where everything has to be taken into context of the overall show and its problems (as I think that makes a lot of plot elements and character actions as less tolerable). Ultimately, this episode feels like it's pushing all the pieces into their predictable end points. It feels safe/predictable. And when that is paired off with a very odd/slow pacing of this show, it's just a frustrating experience.
Don't know what else to say. At this point, I'm just going to assume there will be a twist. Because if there isn't, and this anime plays things straight, then the slow/odd pacing will have made this a chore of a story to get through.

Some of the people on that list have backed over 1000 projects, what the hell is up with that? I've backed like 5.
Yeah I was squeeing hardcore over this picture this morning.

That's the kickstarter CEO and some other guy working at kickstarter.

Ah, well I suppose that makes a little more sense.
I love it!!!! The whole Chiyo Paras thing has been the cutest thing ever. This .gif I saw a few pages back was great.
Why is it the paras and the Tanuki are being perverts here?

Great episode. Awesome fight scenes like last episode. Rider was awesome as well as Bazett.

Kill la Kill 25 OVA
This is indeed an Episode 25, it takes place after the TV Ending. This is basically just
Pretty good, better then the TV ending I think.
Overall I really don't know what to think of this series. At the end of the credits I felt kind of sad that there would be no more of it, but looking back it was kind of a disappointment in a lot of ways (especially parts of that second half and that tournament...)
But it was enjoyable, and so was this OVA.
I look forward to Trigger's next work, if anything.
Well, the first thing that happens is
Monkey gets owned in a fight with Satsuki, and then later Mohawk also gets owned super easily so this is business as usual
This is indeed an Episode 25, it takes place after the TV Ending. This is basically just
backstory for Rei, that brown girl who hung around with Nui and Disco Milf and never did anything because that never really got settled I guess.
Also Honnoji totally was a mech the whole time like people said from episode 1.
Pretty good, better then the TV ending I think.

Being Kaneki sure is suffering

Log Horizon 5
Huh, so it seems even the more mundane subclasses have their uses in this world. A bonus for people who actually roleplay, I guess.
Oh god, Serara's fantasy.
Oh no, don't tell me these two are going to be the annoying kids of the series.
I noticed it last time, but the ED to this kind of reminds me of "Vanilla Salt" from Toradora. Especially since the song starts before the ED animation.

That's horrifying. Do you know why? It means ANN have a legitimate sway over thousands of people who clearly don't get their news from anywhere else!

Kickstarters typically explode in the first few and last few days so I can't say I'm super surprised Under the Dog will get there. I also knew Knight of Sidonia was on Netflix but I didn't know they helped fund it. That show never looked appealing to me but more Western money flowing into the anime market can only be a good thing.It's how Big O 2 and Space Dandy season 2 happened and more anime palatable to Western tastes can only be a good thing.

It was promised all the way back in season one, and now the amusement park visit finally comes to pass. Also, this batch of episodes was clearly brought to you by Pizza Hut. It's not as loud as Code Geass or Sora Kake, and an amusement park is a pretty natural place to have chain pizza (I'm more of a Papa John's kinda guy), but man, that was pretty blatant. The rest of the stories with Nana, Touko and the Christmas party are continuing the search for a little sister thing going on. It seems like nobody in the red rose family can ever find the right person for them on the first try. Ended on a sadder note than I expected. There was also a bit of DTLism in these episodes, not that surprising since Hanadera's presence increased. Smack-dab in the middle of the drama here.

Ikumi's insistence on continuing to play Shiritori was amusing, and kudos to the translators for finding a way to make that work in English. Bringing back one of the very first people who asked for their advice as a future club member (and current ED theme singer) is also a nice touch. There's some sort of school conspiracy going on in the background that a show like this wouldn't be expected to have. I look forward to seeing how their "realistic Game of LIfe" turns out, too.

We don't agree about much but we can agree on this.

You know, I will say it was weird how Pizza Hut ended up sponsoring a weird bunch of anime at around the same time. It's like there was a marketing manager who thought it would be a good idea to put their name into anime and then that guy was fired a year later. lol

Wed agree on more if you disliked monster girls.
How can one dislike monster girls?
No one truly dislikes monster girls, merely themselves for liking monster girls.
There's a value of 8 between 2 and 10.
Oh and UTD is looking at 100k+ just from today alone.

That's a tease. The entire episode is spent writing a new song, and they cut to credits just as the girls are about to perform it. Hopefully it'll be in the next episode, or in one of the two vocal albums the show is releasing. The Nanako/Yukari yuri level is as high as it's ever been, and after a rather Uogokoro-centric batch of episodes, it's nice to return to the original duo and put them in the spotlight once more. That other group of local idols oughta be showing up soon, too. Their picture was in the background this time.

I don't know. Monster girls encompass such a wide array that there's something for everyone to like.
That sounded lewd.
