Still a weird show but I am enjoying more and more with each episode. This episode was especially funny with Y and all these little inside jokes. It handles itself very well.

Also the MC is really hilarious in her own way and the Assistant is funny too without saying anything.

That's pretty nice first episode, and is better opening episode than Angel Beats.

Let's see is Medea really learn his lesson from AB, for now it's looking good.
 
Imagined their voices differently.

There will so much vice-pres stuff to suffer through in order to get to Hana parts. ;_;



Seems like they postponed for half an hour.

Hana isn't even best girl, its Mari. :)

Still though seeing the bottle scene animated will be hilarious.
 
Durarara!! X2 The Second Arc Episode 13 – Love Thy Enemy

Izaya at the end of the episode was incredible. When he got on the bed and everything. Definitely replay and replay again and again.

Still hope Masaomi Kida can do something.
 
LWA2:

Not as good as the first. Akko is a bit more obnoxious this time around, and the addition of more characters means less screen time for Diana.

Just a question, did His and Her circumstances (or Kare Kano) ever release in Blu-ray. Just notice the quality of the animation look much older than it's. Is they a reason with this as I though the quality will be a bit better but not with the screenshot.

I think they went over budget in that show so they had to cut costs by putting tons of stills in the second half.

It did not.

That was a really good first episode. Yu is a snarky punk that
gets his just deserts about midway through the episode.
I like how they introduced the rest of the cast. They are instantly likable and they don't dwell on introductions. I like the angle this show is going for and should make for a very entertaining watch.

Izaya was the main star as he always is with being a shit by intrupting Celty and Shinra's romantic vacation time at the worst moment. It was a set up episode for most of the characters and it also introduced a new character that'll entertain Izaya. No Shizuo in this episode makes it bad but it was offset by Izaya being Izaya. Hope Kida can save his friend from going completely crazy this season.
 
Ushio to Tora - 01

I enjoyed my time. The dysfunctional relationship will be fun to see. It was pretty much like the first OVA episode. I think the fight scene (however short it may be) was more fun in the OVA, here there were no "explosions" or effects like that.
Another thing that I noticed was the lore in the beginning wasn't visualized with the samurai and Tora which was a bit disappointing. That said I look forward to more.

Charlotte episode 1


Ayu is a gift from the gods. A MOTHER FUCKING GIFT FROM THE GODS! Is she the perfect imouto or what?


She's going to die, isn't she?

Really good. I preferred the first, but that isn't necessarily an insult to the second. I mean, the first had a giant dragon in it. I thought Akko's personality was a bit much in this one - I don't remember her being so annoying in the first. If they make another, I hope they tone her down a notch or two. Or three. And the climax felt like it needed a bit more to it. Even so, it was a fun, funny story. The three new girls were great, though I wish they got a bit more development. And the animation was all around excellent.

I think I can forgive Trigger for Ninja Slayer.

I enjoyed it even if it was a bit heavy handed. But I'm not really surprised considering who's writing it. Looked good to but that's expected of P.A. Works.

Was just about to say the same thing. Still have about another 4hrs to finish my shift, but can't wait to watch this. It's quite uplifting to see people say positive things about something I want to watch. Lately this place has been filled with negative impressions.

Also can't wait to watch more Durarara and Working!! Saturdays are going to be blessed this season.

Durarara x2 13
Another forgettable OP. They set the bar high with their first two and now they'll seemingly never reach it again.

Episode was hmmm bearable, despite not being very hectic. Izaya desperately needs to follow up this hospital stay with a visit to a good shrink.
I can't for the life of me remember all those various mafia bosses that got introduced in the earlier cour.

Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket 01

Can't say this episode managed to impress me. It was mostly brats being annoying brats, cheesy dialogue and some weird 80's music. Hope it will improve.

Solid first episode that introduces the concepts well. I wasn't exactly a fan of Yu getting beat up by random strangers but I guess it was important for him to stop abusing his powers. I'll be interested in how the show will attempt to make me cry later given it's pedigree.

It's starting to have a problem with having way too many characters that I can't even remember the name of. Hopefully some of the case dies off so it can trim the fat. The downturn slope of their OP/ED is sad to see given how great they were early on.

Oh it will. In spades.
But you gotta admit that opening battle was hype. And quite the eye candy too.

Ushio to Tora Episode 1:

Willing to bet this was adapted in the wake of the monster crushing success of Youkai Watch. Anyway, as shonen as this is, I liked this episode as well as the antagonistic relationship between Ushio and Tora. Though I admit watching these two remind me of Inuyasha and Kagome for some unearthly reason.

Infinite Stratos is the best dub, really. lol

I mean, I can't imagine something like Hyouka being dubbed with all the Californian accents that all the actors seem to use for every anime dub ever. I think it would kill the show for me.

there are good and bad dubs. They dont all sound "californian".
It would be interesting to see what japanese have to say about the quality of japanese voice acting. I would suspect it isnt always considered good either.

This is really cute

seeing the pictures, I think thats an understatement!

It's cute but that is kind of counteracted by the lewd. And the fact that it has short episodes and is rushed.

I can deal with a bit of lewd. Thats okay.

Working!!! Episode 1

Yamada and co have returned, praise Yamaking.

It's the first episode which means Standard Reintroduction Episode (again) but it was cute and funny and oh boy did I miss this show and Kana Asumi's Poplar voice.
 

Is there actually a proper reason for translating this in third person? I mean it may be a more literal translation for all I know, but then that's not what you should be going for. Either way, these 3rd person self references sounds completely strange in most cases.

My kinda show and a good "feels" replacement for Plastic Memories, hopefully. ...

How is Hummingbird these days?

It doesnt change much. Still think MAL is a better site.

Isla looks 14 at best. I know people look young in general in anime art style, but they also have a character who keeps accusing MC of being a pedo for his attraction to Isla, so it is clear the story wants us to view her at basically looking prepubescent. I suppose the show calls it out so it can pretend to be moral to some degree, while still milking its intended otaku pedophile audience. A *wink wink nudge nudge* kind of thing.

Wouldnt that be ephebeophilia if so?
In any case, this is a really tired argument by now.
Even the show seems to just poke fun of it.
it doesnt matter very much.
