Arslan Senki Episode 25:

Honestly you are better off tracking down the old OVA series if this is all we are getting.

Gintama Shinsengumi Arc (->105)

Another decent serious arc. Not sure if I liked it more than when Gintoki came alive during the Benizakura arc.

The characters are much better developed in the second arc of the manga (chapter 82 and onward, right where the anime ends), and there actually is real character growth albeit still mixed with Prison School's utter absurdity (example: there's a subplot going on for like 80 chapters now about a woman trying to become the perfect S&M queen for Andre, and it goes a long way toward fleshing out both characters and developing them). Hana's basically the best character in the whole thing. If you thought the kissing was lewd, just wait until you get to
holding hands
.

As for the uniform, that was covered during the show/during the first arc. Kiyoshi explained to Chiyo exactly how that happened and she accepted his explanation.
Ah. I must have missed it amidst the sweating sound effects. SRSLY that's not how sweat works.

Filth, absolute filth.

Personally, I'd just recommend everyone watch Neko Sugar Girls on youtube instead of this. At least that has the excuse of being made in ms paint and and being a satire of key-kyoani anime (specifically air)


god, that was bad.




Oh, and for anyone wondering, i'm halfway through Diabolik lovers.

Durarara!!x2 Ten - 12 (End)

Yep, it was mainly build-up for part 3, but damn was it exciting buildup. Insane Mikado is best Mikado. Everything's in place now for some huge all-out chaos and I can't wait to see how that's going to unfold.

Izaya trolling Yodogiri Jinnai was also really amusing, but seeing him getting reverse trolled was even more so.

Anyway, the next season is going to be amazing.
 
Yuru Yuri Season 1&2 [END]


Caught up to this in preparation for the upcoming season, probably one of the funnier anime I've seen, the first season didn't really grasp me but I feel that this is something that happens in most comedy anime, after I got used to the characters I started to get really into it. Season 2 was great, those last two episodes were the best, that Snow White stageplay was so funny, I was laughing all the way through.

The music is also pretty good, ED 2 is probably one of my favorite outros ever.

Excited for the next season, although I've heard some troubling news from that.

Haibane Renmei 13 END

Good finish to a series that frankly, underwhelmed me for the majority of its run. A very vague ending that gives very few many answers for the world it introduced but surprisingly enough, this doesn't bother me a whole lot with the setting being what it is.
Reki's and by extension, Rakka's story
is concluded very well and that's what matters the most.
Though some clarification on who exactly are the normal people living in the town I'd prefer to get.
In hindsight, a lot of the early material with an episode devote to every Haibane feels like a bit of waste of time as outside of maybe Kuu, none of these characters get to do anything. The show, being an from the early digital era, is also quite ugly. These upscales really aren't any good and I say this as a person who doesn't pay much attention to the image quality usually.

Yea, the show's world is almost entirely abstraction and symbolic
(which in my interpretation is the real world)
, I really admire it's obscure nature.

Also, I like its art-style, puts my mind at ease.

Arslan Senki 25 END
I really enjoyed this show. Haven't heard of it before this anime started and haven't seen the OVA so far. Since the anime is already quite a bit further down the storyline than the current manga, I would really like to see a second season sometime next year. Since it's based on (still ongoing) books, there should be more than enough material to continue this. Especially since the current ending doesn't really feel like an ending at all.

So, S2 when?!

I heard this is based in medieval India, gotta watch this.

Slaine and his Vers buddies adventures on the moon base made the second season of Aldnoah kinda fun to watch. Well at least until the princess woke up, then everything went to shit.

I still haven't watched the second cour though. I am afraid to ask, is it worth it if I liked the first part? Not only did I thought the ending was good (I know that they retconed that part stupidly I might add) but the whole adventure and the battle between slaine and Inaho was something I looked forward to every week

also #TeamInaho and #FuckSlaine

It was certainly fun to watch and discuss it with everyone as it aired. That was an interesting experience of its own haha. It did create a lot of buzz.

No. I really liked part 1, but I though that 2 pretty much destroyed everything that was good about part 1. Some parts of S2 are funny for shits and giggles, but overall it's definitly worse than S1.

Lulz, I'm one of the few who were okay with S2 of Aldnoah. The first EP did have that ridiculous backtrack, but the finale of S1 was so stupid that I merely saw it as a continuation of said stupidity. It certainly wasn't as good as the first one, but I found enjoyment in Terminaho, Slaine the devious and whatnot.

For shits and giggles, S2 war awesome. Slaine, the "devious" who was unable to do anything and only did stupid things throughout the whole season. Inaho's eye, the best character in the show. Srsly, a friggin eye.

Y did they do dis. ;___;
 
Aldnoah went to shit after season 2, yup. I actually liked season 1 a lot, so seeing them destroy everything made me pretty sad.

Gargantia was great.

Evangelion 1.0 was great. 2.0 was okay. 3.0 was... It was what it was.

I don't think I've watched any other mech stuff in the past few years.
 
Do you guys know about Kowaban ?

seems interesting

Yeah, me and Javac have brought it up sometimes.

There's a PV but I don't think that the art looks really great, i'd say it's actually uncanny, there's not a bunch of art so I don't know how the full end product will look.

Apparently it's also going to be a short instead of a full-fledged series, I wonder if that actually works for a horror show.

I'm definitely going to check it out though, it's a cool experiment which will be interesting either way.
 
Miss Monochrome - The Animation Episode 1

Heh, that was a pretty good joke to start of with. Seems like this one is going to be weird

ED Miss Monochrome is 10/10 nightmare material though, brrrrr

Episode 2

RIP

:(

Episode 3

Seriously, what is this show?
 
What's the watching order?

Maybe I'll run it through while waiting my Steam download.

Chronologically it's;

OVA - Fafner in the Azure: Right of Left

TV Series - Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor

Movie - Fafner in the Azure: Heaven and Earth

TV Series - Fafner in the Azure: -EXODUS-

Oh a special to finish off Wagnaria. Was thinking there wasn't much time left in the last ep to wrap everything up.

I actually started watching Wagnaria/Working!! a short while ago and I love it. I'm in the middle of the second season right now. I know right now there are 3 seasons out, do you know if there are plans to make more?

The hour long special is going to be the series finale. So there will just be the three seasons and the finale.

Damn.

I don't want this ride to end! I guess I'll take my time watching it instead of trying to binge it all in a few days like I was originally planning.

Still going to keep my fingers crossed that they somehow make a season 4, unless they've actually gone through all the source material?

i have made a horrible mistake, and i'm seeing it through until the end.

I will then follow that up with an even worse mistake.
Oh boi

I'm watching diabolik lovers and then i'll be watching vampire holmes.

As has been 100x, it's a horrible anime and literally the only one I even couldn't finish 1 episode of. Family gang blood rapes are disgusting.

The manga is finished. The anime will be wrapping up all available material.
 
Miss Monochrome 10

So you'd think that after winning a whole lot of gold metals and competitions, Miss Monochrome's idol career would get some steam in the process, but what do I know?

Miss Monochrome 11

Didn't really find this one all that funny, felt like a less funny rehash of an earlier episode TBH.
 
Miss Monochrome 12

I really hope they don't make Mana a recurring character. She isn't that funny and is more annoying to watch.

Miss Monochrome 13

Nice to be able to hear the ending song without having the see that thing that is supposed to be CGI. And she got a fan out of it to boot.

Monochrome is a pretty decent show overall. Has some good laughs but also moments where the joke falls flat. I'll likely check out Season 2 at some point.
 
Miss Monochrome 13 [END]

Nice show overall, most of the episodes were hit or miss but because it was so short the boring episodes didn't really bother me. The episodes with the aliens were the best.

Will probably watch the second season tomorrow or something, kinda felt like it dragged on a bit in the end.
