So its just the toothbrush scene? It's not porn but it might as well be?
If Tomino has taught me anything it is that women don't last twelve months as a mech pilot, let alone multiple years.
I wonder how similar that Ange thing over that what Kuroshitsuji already pull..
Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler's spoiler
Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler's spoiler
I always thought the protagonist (12 yo boy) implied raped by pedophile cult in the backstory.. until the new season of anime kinda confirmed he just forcefully branded in lower back area for some sort of crazy ritual.
I actually expect similar thing in this Ange's case, some sort of contrived shit to justify tattoo in asscheek.

Don't do this to me man. I'm not young anymore. I don't know if my heart can take this ride. That crazy wording, man. I don't know what to believe or where to begin.
I think I'm gonna go take a long shower and forget about this so I don't OD on hope.
I'm looking forward to the PSVita game being announced.
We can't even get a decent fucking translation of the light novels.

Got some anime in the mail today:
It would nice to get two series in the U.S. They were licensed by Bandai before they went kaput.

This show deserves an award if it can out-Valvave, Valrave within the first 2 episodes.
An award of recently shat turds
Also Fukuda is the producer which means we'll likely also see him try to 1-up SEED Destiny.

Hm... Those beastmen is some strange looking creatures.
We find out how a lot of parents died and you can't have a Lagann without a Gurren.

The final battle between Antoinette and du Barry occurs, with
ultimately losing in the end, along with a failed murder attempt committed towards the Dauphin. Loved the visuals in this episode, very striking and dynamic, and they fit the tone perfectly. The part when
fucking killed me. So good.

one of the aunts pulled Antoinette away from du Barry before she got to speak to her
I'm by no means great at spotting various film and cinematic techniques used in series but rewatching episode 1 and paying attention to all the little details showed me how much they actually did for the episode.
I was going to make a post about it but reading through it made me just look like I was trying to hard.
Throughout the series Jinto is more of an overly pessimistic character. Whether this is down to him being a "lowly human" mixing in the upper echelons of Abh society or because of the rejection from his own people is unknown.
Regardless, you're right it does get very annoying. He does have a few stand out moments in the show in it's entirety but most of the more memorable scenes typically involve the Abh.

Antoinette heads to Paris in high spirits to get familiar with the citizens she'll rule over in the future. Meanwhile, we cut to the set of Les Miserables and learn of two sisters of noble blood living in the slums, with one of them scheming for a way to get out. On top of that, another character named Fersen surveys Paris and notes of the dire state it may succumb to. Also, another failed assassination attempt.
This is getting a lot more complex than I thought it'd be, and I'm really hooked... and three years have passed since the beginning of the series? Damn, time is moving fast here.

More strange looking creatures then. Some kind of mutation?
Haha. Kamina certainly got a long sword and then that combination attempt.
But then it actually worked! Nice.

Well, it is also he has the screen presence of a wet tissue and, well, basically they stuck a harem protagonist in here and it is working out about as expected. It does make him easy to ignore save for when the plot tries to make him important in some fashion then it comes off as contrived.
Ashita no Nadja 13-15 (Swiss Arc)
Now for these episodes, I can find a running theme. Acts of kindness and deceptive appearances. That goes not only for what's going on in Switzerland, but also in the somewhat extensive amount of time episode 15 spends back in Vienna showing the lives of Nadja's real family. (Herman is slimy. This is not new, I just wanted to mention it.) The Francis train is all but confirmed, and the same irony I brought up with Nadja back at the end of the England arc is in full force here. The idea of her trying to apply Noblesse oblige as simple atruism, thinking she's a commoner even when she really isn't - does show a lot of the texture of the show. I'm also seeing the show emphasizing the importance of families.
Like how Zabie was raised in the orphanage being
, and the similar reveal that Chocolat is really a white lion, George is just dyeing his fur. I tried to think of anime that were set in Switzerland that this show could be drawing from, and it's almost certainly Heidi. Nadja's dress was very much what one thinks of when they think of Switzerland. And the Alps-crossing episode was pretty tense for this show. Even Hannibal had a tough time with that one, the Dandelion car needed Nadja's song and some last minute strongman strength.
The merchandising nature of it can't be helped, and this show still has a real sense of adventure to it. To Italy!

Free! Eternal Summer Episode 13 [End]
Definitely one of the best cases of an anime improving in its second season and not getting worst. Had slightly feared that would happen with Free! but like Utapri it beat the odds and became even more amazing than it already was. Every episode was amazing (though episode 12 is still one of the best things animated, just about everything I needed and wanted from Free!).
Really good moments and emotions in this final episode and a new song great. Rin Momo getting screentime and lots of lines was one of the best minor things as well as Samezuka's pose. I need a poster of it.
Cant wait to own it. RinHaru forever, and Momo.

Great write up, I agree with everything and I don't think you'll find many who will argue that the assault was not the weakest part of the series. I didn't mind it that much (maybe because I already read the manga?) but I certainly will acknowledge all it's faults.
I'll agree with Nintendoman in adding the
Requiem for Uvogin
Well, I guess this will be the second Valvrave for real. Even kind of looks like it.

Momo Kyun Sword 10
Here we go. It's time for the final dungeon and such. I can see all of the 1v1 face offs already.
What even is this? This sounds absolutely horrible. If that's the bar they set, I really don't want to see more of it.

So... Jormungand. Well-made, good music too, but the whole premise is iffy as fuark. Ironically enough, one of the secondary characters calls the MC out about the utter unrealism of the plan. Though owing to a smidgen more than a bit of megalomania, the MC brushes off said comment.

Heh. What a strange episode. And the animation looks different too? Weird.
At least they learn how to combine in the most manly way and they meet new friends.

Final and definitive proof that Char is infact a newtype.
So can we talk about it?!Crossange doesn't sound "super dark" or "edge" at all from the descriptions. It just sounds like smut pseudo-porn like Queen's Blade or whatever, except with mechs.
Sunrise things.
We still get Gundam shows you know!
They were too busy discussing whether revealing attire is sexist.

The sparks ignite not only between Antoinette and Fersen as they meet for the first time, but when Oscar, Andre and some-other-dude-who's-been-in-the-series-since-the-first-episode-but-I-don't-remember-his-name-since-he's-been-in-the-background-most-of-the-time uncover another plot be du Barry against Antoinette.
Seriously, when has going to a masquerade ball ever gone well for someone famous?

Well said, though I'm not sure I agree with that last bit. That would make it more accountable in my eyes, if I understand what you are saying.

In the realm of hentai, eroticism and violence often go hand in hand. The line between anime and hentai is getting blurrier. :|

Now this was an interesting episode. The village leader making some tough choices to ensure that the village can sustain itself. It's both understandable and terrible at the same time.

After Oscar attains an injury from saving Antoinette from a horse-riding incident, Andre questions his friendship with Oscar and how he may be getting in the way.
Probably the first episode I'd count as filler, as nothing really happens here outside of some character development for Oscar. He's been around since the beginning, and has mostly been there to help Oscar out, so it's good to see him get some time in the spotlight.

Too bad Rin is off in Australia fighting kangaroos while Makoto and Haru are totally banging in Tokio!
Oh shit it does!
Mostly the goose and overall silliness.
Only one thing can ever BE Garzey's Wing.
Its the music and atmosphere most likely. Otherwise its just moeshit. The sort I will happily watch.
Is this considered going overboard when everything shown here was bought 33 to 70 percent off at RightStuf?
Hell no. Do what you dream! Surround yourself with happy things!
Steins; Gate is one of my favorites. Pay attention to every little thing, you never know what might be relevant later.
Seems that way. TV Osaka are airing episodes 25 and 26 back to back tonight; ordinarily they're slightly delated from Tokyo MX, where the show normally premieres. Anyone know why?
As long as Esdeath is relevant then its ok!
Shampoo hasnt got much competition. She is as cute as Lum from UY and thats quite a feat.
The atmosphere is phenomenal. It is paced in a way that I cant bring myself to watch it except in certain moods but thats not really a fault of the show. I could see people getting bored with it though. It is without a doubt absolutely beautiful though.

It's one half clip-show and the other half relaxing at a hot spring. Although it's all quite suspicious...
