That ending was worse than Skull Man's ending. And I liked Skull Man.

it's satire.
PP s2 has nothing to do with Urobuchi
United Collegiate Organization of Anime Clubs, lol
I know but still the odds of PP 2 being good is low.

If anything Skull Man was a bit humerus.

Yu-gi-oh! Arc-V Episode 23
Everyone finally back together, Sora singing is good, and Yuuya-oniichan putting on a performance of lifetime
Some of the shots they gave him were sure to make anyones hearts "pitter-patter." I just hope she doesnt stick around with that.

Psycho-Pass 9
Another episode that's heavy on the dialogue, but I thought it worked this time. Some scenes go on a little too long because it's still Psycho-Pass, but the conversations are generally interesting since they're focused on world-building with cyborgs, the age of the Sybil System, criminal profiling, etc. None of this should have happened in episode 9 because a lot of it feels very relevant, like the fact that Akane is supposed to be a glorified babysitter, but I'll take what I can get. It was nice to see her stand up for herself, too; one of the first decent character moments in the show. Animation felt oddly jerky for some reason. I liked how "off" the cyborg guy felt, though.

Deedlit > Pirotess. I will always say that. She's more expressive and fun than Pirotess.
A wise decision to be sure!
Zvezda is a dark horse candidate but I think it was too weird to be really popular with Gaf.
My favorite song from Hanamaru Kindergarten is Kigurumi Wakusei. Its so epic and cute at the same time!
I hope so :3
I know! thats what I love about her!
Most episodes yeah. Utena is a relic of a certain time period when this was the norm.
Funny because this was probably the one good episode in this crappy adaptation.

There's a good portion of fans who don't check websites/TV guide information who would like to see the airing dates (as well as it'll run during the week at other times to advertise then). While the international community is devoted to check for this information, the more important TV viewer in Japan may not be.
Ah, right. So used to most PVs/CMs like that also being posted to YouTube, plus since Crunchyroll et al. naturally don't have the same CM breaks that the actual shows do on air in Japan, I sometimes get scatterbrained and forget that they obviously air those CMs during the normal broadcast.
Well, that and I'm just so glued to the internet that I forget people are out there who don't actually make use of it as their primary source of news.

Please read from the beginning of the manga. Such a great series.
hipbabboom
Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
The first 3/4 of the episode felt like they were trying to relay to the viewer something that he already knew. That was only slightly annoying but what really pisses me off is that I felt all the pain in that white hair up to and including the ending preview of episode eleven but then episode 12 began chipping away at that understanding till by the end, it felt mostly cosmetic. Was it worth it to convey him turning his back on his core value? No, that could have literally been done in a few other places in this series. To do it at such a critical point was foolish.

Black Butler - Book of Circus 5
The intrigue thickens.
The story is definitely pulling me in.
Character art seemed a little shoddier than normal this episode, which isn't surprising as it was heavily outsourced to Wanpack, but it wasn't too bad. The direction provided good tension during the tent searching scene.
The intrigue thickens.
I wonder what the letter about Ciel was about, considering the first-stringers don't seem to be aware of his presence amongst them yet. And I wonder how the reaper will end up playing into this. Didn't expect that revelation about Doll either, though it's a clever trick on the part of the author by not having Ciel's tentmate be an irrelevant character to the plot.

I just preordered simply on the basis of this.
As so you should! MAybe I can play against you at some point. Get you some easy wins XD
Same. Uraizen is still trying to get me to buy one lol. But I lack the whole gaming skill with my fingers thing.
Thats expected because shes really amazing and expressive with her eyes, but Mashiro and Kobeni pretty much carried the show for me.

I am. They REALLY botched up the whole intro arc with Shuu. I guess that's the cost of 1 Cour adaptations.

I feel like I'm watching a time-bomb slowly tick down right in front of me. Like, the end of this episode pretty much confirmed

Kinda excited for this. Akane being a cold blooded killer gets me hyped.

Black Butler: Book of Circus 6
I was pleasantly surprised to see Shinichi Omata show up randomly as storyboarder on this episode. His presence explains why the episode was unusually visually creative and effective. The dream/flashback sequences show some similar techniques to what Omata used in Rozen Maiden, and you could see the Shaft influence in his playing around with a wider aspect ratio for parts of the flashback. I particularly liked the transition at the end from the bright shining sun to a film burn away effect, which could be taken as symbolizing Ciel's determination to forget the past and only look forward. The seduction scene was sensual in a way I've seen few anime match, with effective use of close-ups to portray the dangerously intimate feelings running wild. I suppose Omata used his past experience with hentai when handling this part. At any rate, an excellent setup episode in which you can feel things building towards a confrontation the substance of which is yet unknown.
Good ol' Omata.

Awful stripping scene aside, this was a good episode. Sure, the concept is silly and trashy, but it makes for effective suspense and it's probably the most interesting "case" we've seen. When you allow for decent pacing and remove most of the talkiness (the damsel here is still a very thin excuse for Kogami to tell instead of show his opinion of Akane), you're left with an entertaining show.

I would be ranting again about how butchered the adaption is but really there's no point.
Tokyo Ghoul Episode 12
I wanted this scene to be animated and I got it even if it was too short. Studio Pierrot actually did an alright job in animating this scene so I'll give them props for that. The music was really nice during the hallucination scene and towards the end. But damn did they leave it on a cliffhanger and leaving the Aogiri Arc unresolved.
Yeah I really want a reboot of this series even if it's unlikely. The manga is fuckin amazing.

Hold on to that reaction image, Branduil, you might want to use it again right away:

Hes kirito god in real life.
I understand that they need to have a minimum funding amount on PSN due to credit card fees or somesuch, but it's still annoying as hell for the consumer. I have $5 in credit from some promotion a while back, but to buy Okami HD I need to add $5 more. So what the hell am I going to do with that extra $3 I'm being forced to pay? I buy things from PSN so rarely that there's no point in just letting it sit around. Only thing I can think of is the Diva F costume set, since at least those'll get imported into F 2nd free of charge.
And even then it's leaving exactly two cents in limbo in my PSN wallet.

I liked psycho pass... the story is fairly cliche for the setting, but in general they take the plot on interesting routes still thus overall it was a fairly fun watch. Not a must watch like ghost in the shell SAC but if you like that sort of setting it's not a waste of time.

as the others have said just make sure to start from the start, I won't say it's an amazing manga but at least the main character is way better in the manga

I will read it from the beginning, don't worry.
I'm aware of the criticism the game has gotten, but I also know it's popular for a good reason.

Geez, did Urobuchi write this arc? Also, if we extrapolate the trend for each new
, by the end of the 2nd season they're just going to walk around naked.
It's funny how the CRAZY warmongering guy from earlier was retroactively proved right and the dudes arguing for peace were actually sniveling Chamberlains unable to stand up against a guy committing a holocaust.
