Life and Hometown Wars 05
Her not wearing any panties is an important plot point apparently. MC still attracting all da ladies for no apparently reason as well.

Holy shit Yukari just confess to Nanako already.

This may have the best music direction I've seen in years. The end sequence of this episode is almost too good for a TV show.
I have to admit that I got done in by the "swerve". I was honestly expecting

Now I'm intrigued to see how the dynamics change with
. I also wonder if part of Shibazaki's role in this will be to become less detached/distant and become more aggressive.

a real bomb instead of an infobomb
music at that scene was incredible

Lisa "joining" the Numbers
Like bones before them A1 building up quite the reputation for ruining some pretty good action shounens, I actually quite like 7 deadly sins so it's sad to see it might suffer the sad fate of flying off rails into shitty written anime original second half.
where is Deen when you need them I would of taken those guys over A1 for 7 deadly sins or even magi.

Deen? Let's not get crazy here.
it's vito + cwarrior tho
Pupipo
Holy shit... I mean, erm... yeah holy shit. I watched the first episode of this show back when it aired because the blob was cute as hell, but it didn't generate any interest beyond that. Suffice to say, the show is nothing like what you'd expect from any first impression.
The premise deals with a girl whose ability to see ghosts torments her daily life, as said ghosts bother her around and cause trouble for other people, making classmates see her as a witch. That is, until she meets Pupipo, the Kirby-esque blob who protects her from the creatures and starts changing her life for the better.
From the first episode it might seem like a simple show with a twist, but in reality you're missing out! Bonding! Bullying! Life & Death situations! Neat set-pieces! Adventure! Emotional arc with climax and resolution! Like holy shit it was so unexpected yet so good.
It's definitely the most successful 5-minute show I've seen when it comes to serious storytelling. One would think that the run-time limits the emotional reach and the possibilities of the story, but the directing courtesy of industry veteran Kaori Suzuki is so efficient and slick that you get into it and even feel like it had to be a 5-minute show. I don't even know how this show came about, but now I'm glad it did.
Special thanks to Hosanna who recommended it, and wonzo too for being the original proponent even if nobody listened!

I wonder if the black haired one is a delinquent-type character who plays tough to get but she's actually crying for help on the inside. Poor girl should go get a size bigger in shirts.
nah that seems a little too far out even for anime

Man ever since I played Devil Survivor I have been in love with Suzuhito Yasuda's character designs.
I think someone said he did Gundam Build fighters too right? If so then Yessssss his designs are so rad.

You know here in the US we have the Sopranos and modern mobsters aren't even that big of a topic. Japan has the yakuza. I wouldn't mind a really serious grounded in reality drama about them in anime. Something like that vikings manga I need to get to eventually which is apparently very good.
If not for the sci-fi elements, the mafia storyline in the Gungrave anime was pretty great I thought. It's neither grounded nor yakuza though.
I just checked my bank account and see $178.99 deducted...

New Digimon Adventure in 2015. Tai and crew are in high school, bro is 17.

It's a continuation? Good lord, how many years has it been since season 2?
I suspect I'm not the only one with a soft spot for Digimon in its various incarnations (particularly the first three series). I loved how heavily serialised it was in particular. While it's trendy to say Digimon Tamers is the best because Chiaki Konaka wrote it, I never really saw enough of it - Adventure 2 was my favourite, probably.

WUT?
My childhood.......its all coming back. Wait a minute didn't we see Tai as a young man already.
Tai x Sora was the only pairing I can remember.

What Sci fi elements? Gungrave was a fantastic 14 episode anime.If not for the sci-fi elements, the mafia storyline in the Gungrave anime was pretty great I thought. It's neither grounded nor yakuza though.
I see what you did there
Time to watch the original cuts of season one and two then. Though I'll be a pretentious dick and compare them to the radness of Tamers.

He was actually a middle schooler in season 2.

Man, I kinda want to rewatch digimon with the news, but I'm afraid that like pokemon it won't hold up with me now compared to my childhood.

Digimon Tamers spoiled me way too hard and have been disappointed by every digimon series since that one.
I'll give this one a chance though.

Holy... this is unreal. The small clip with Butterfly playing got me so hyped. \o/
Now of course there's the question if it's gonna be any good... but damn if that ain't a nice surprise.
edit: remembered the track was called Butterfly after all.

That was genuinely the douchiest thing digimon ever did. That began my hate for douchey craaaawling in my skiiiin bad boy characters who get the girls.
Hey guys here is this girl that I'm super close with and we click really well a- oh she went for the bad boy Rockstar.
Call me hyped though I liked that crew.

Sora and Tai will be canon soon with this new anime

It still rustles my jimmies. I wake up on the middle of the night screaming, sweat glistening over my body hugging the covers. Never forget. Fuck that guy. First person to say "fuck that guy" meant it for this guy specifically. I guess my only relief is that
in digimon 2 during the flash forward ending they show what every character is doing in the future. And they show nobody still together as adults. And Tai as this sweet digimon lawyer with agumon as his partner
She doesn't deserve my tai-bro anymore. She wanted bologna instead of filet mignon. She can keep having that shit. MA bro deserves better.Sora and Tai will be canon soon with this new anime
Edit: Never fucking mind just read soras wiki entry. I hope they retcon that 2027 future glimpse and have a truck hit her.
Zankyou no Terror Episode 4:
just wanted to comment on this..
I also was ecstatic that I was thrown for the curve and suckered like everyone else.
and that music.. the music when they were going to the apartment, and on the motorcycle ride.. we'll see where the show ends up at the end of its run... I won't predict anything now... but damn... this is one of the strongest episodes of ANY series I have seen in... well maybe one of the single strongest episodes of any series ever.
just wanted to comment on this..
so far I'm going with that I don't see it as love interest at all. More like kindred spirits. And I think you did yourself a further disservice by fast forwarding through the motorcycle ride because that's where you saw it most IMHO. She asked "are you going to destroy the entire world" and when he laughed she just smiled. One of us is clearly missing the intent here.. only time will tell which one it is.. Lisa actually drastically moved up a few notches here as interesting. She's a girl so out of place and so lost that she will latch onto anything that doesn't drive her away, even if they are terrorists.
