NNB is one of the most "innocent" animes out there, lol.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Manga sales have close to doubled if that matters. At least on the last volume it went from like ~250K to like ~500K.

If that's the case, I'd be surprised if it didn't get another season.
The fact that Soma doesn't seem like a show that costs a lot to produce probably helps with that.

Lol, that was sarcasm, right?
The actual emote is just raising the hand like saying hello, lol

I'm still confident we'll get an announcement of another season of Soma as soon as this one ends. The way they timed the ending to fall at the end of the preliminaries would make no sense otherwise

I'm so depressed Sentai got Ushio and Tora.
Because that show needs a good dub.
Also apparently Crunchy didn't get the latest episode of Gate in time.
They're gonna show it tomorrow.

I expect Ushio to form a team of yokai exterminators. Or some group like cowboy bebop.
I remember the days when I used to watch dubs all the time because i thought subs were dumb as hell. I don't reallly miss those days. The jojo dub in particular feels foreign to me.
At least the Jojo dub feels like it has effort put into it. I can't say that about any Sentai dub I've seen except the P4 Anime dub and maybe Angel Beats.
Well... that is effort. I can say that.

I finally decided to watch Yu Yu Hakusho completely because when I was younger CN decided to stop airing in my country for quite some time so I missed it all T~T, and I got to Younger Toguro's first appearance, man I seriously love that guy, his power build up during the next episodes is just so amazing, I remember being all hyped up every time he increased some % and always wondering how much of a boss he would be with his full power, this anime is just as good and I didn't remember it being so fast paced, the good old times without fillers.
This can't be real... This is like... way worse than the HOTD dub...
Just another boundary IS has transcended.

Maken-Ki! Two - 04
Oh my so much Chacha! Pleasantly surprised that they've given her so much screen time so far this season, since she wasn't heavily featured in the first.
The initial meeting flashback between her and Kimi was sweet, and the use of grey coloring reflecting Kimi's past social life was a nice touch.
They did some creative stuff with the powers in relation to location (in this case a convention), like manga monsters being summoned and fighting them in (lewd) cosplays.
I'm assuming there is a shared publisher or something, as they weren't exactly hiding the other franchises

With all the ecchi shows we're watching, even the "clean" pics of ecchi shows are going to drag this thread into the 21st century of lewdness.
You make it sound as if that would be a bad thing.
Wow. Now I'm kind of glad Japan doesn't try and do western accents.

I don't understand why you would connect a non lewd image with lewd. Are you implying that you're attracted to giant lobsters? (hey I don't judge)

Gatchaman Crowds Insight 8
Though not as eventful as was previously foreshadowed, this episode was a significant improvement over the majority that preceded it, skillfully balancing societal insight with an unsettling tension. Now that the political focus has been properly diminished into a mere undercurrent, the storytelling and, to an extent, the pacing has improved dramatically. Though not remotely ideal, the characters were filtered into the narrative of this episode in a far more reasonable fashion than at any point prior in this season, thankfully avoiding a repetitious focus on Gelsadra and Tsubasas increasingly uninteresting dynamic.
Tsubasas obnoxious naivety wasnt quite as prevalent in this episode as it irritatingly had been, but, sadly, despite a fleeting moment of introspection and clarity, she again embraced her obstinate ideology and her devotion to Gelsadra. There will, of course, be a moment in which shell finally be forced to acknowledge her own stupidity, which will, admittedly, be incredibly satisfying, but its rather unfortunate that such a once-promising character will have ultimately spent the majority of the season mired in an unlikable ignorance.
The most well-executed sequence within this episode, fleeting though it was, was the
, as it captured a tension that was exceedingly effective, benefited immensely by Hajimes
. Having been relegated to the passive periphery for the majority of this season, Hajime was finally allowed to become involved within the narrative, which strengthened this episode considerably. Shes not exactly a remarkable character, but her atypical personality instills an energy within the show that is quite refreshing.
The portrayal of society becoming increasingly suffocating to those who arent disposed to uniformity was very satisfying, as this particular thread has been thoroughly foreshadowed since the first episode. Though this fragment of the narrative hasnt been as sharply written as I had hoped, excessively reliant as it is on a rather simplistic depiction of societys decay, it nevertheless manages to consistently intrigue.
, though somewhat disappointing, was certainly understandable, considering the nature of his development throughout this season and the melancholic manner in which
. The Kuu are moderately engaging threats, though not nearly as compelling as Gelsadra himself. On that note, hopefully Gelsadras
is explored more fully as the story continues, since it remains the most intriguing aspect of Gelsadras existence.
The direction was solid throughout, displaying a proficiency for relatively striking imagery that benefited several integral moments. Musically, Iwasakis work continues to elevate each episode, often energizing moments that would otherwise be unremarkable. The animation, though still inconsistent, impressed on quite a few occasions, particularly in the final sequence.
All in all, this episode of Gatchaman Crowds Insight effectively established a narrative momentum that will hopefully illustrate a gradual improvement in quality as this season approaches its conclusion. The flaws that have unfurled as this season progressed remain, for the most part, untouched, but, thankfully, this episode began to transition the story past its uneventful and tedious constraints. The conclusion to this episode was a superb culmination to the disquieting dread that the Kuus arrival had filtered into the atmosphere. The imagery of
strongly illustrated the devastating nature of their presence, as well as the extent of such a rapidly escalating conflict. As Gelsadra seems
, it will be interesting to see how his villainy will be resolved. I would have likely preferred his motives to, at the very least, be quietly intentional in the societal ruination they inflict, but this approach remains illuminating and fairly promising.

I was....close to a lobster once. I...don't care to discuss it to be honest.
Also, as long as we're talking about Yu Yu Hakusho, I feel compelled to mention that Kuwabara is the best.

Classroom* Crisis ep.10
Wow, he got owned... big time. Guess that payback, but at the same time he was trying to protect A-Tec. Big bro is the true mastermind and the real dick... I calked ot that the Sensei's lil' sis had something for Nagisa, but with two episodes left, it's not going anywhere. Not sure why they tagged this with a "romance" label for the show. Also, that final eveal at the end confused the hell out of me, how are there two of the same person, one male and another female?

Prison School ep.9
I really liked this episode because it just felt intense from start to finish and I was laughing out loud at some if the comedy bits especially Andre's dangling nipple hair. That lone tree in the desert comparison was great. I want to know how they get outta this one.

It was said that the main character would be a woman, but she'd be a priestess anyway, not a knight. That promo does make it look like a male knight will be the lead anyway.

It's well...not Soul Eater.
It's a show about cute girls doing cute things, set in the Soul Eater world.
I didn't care for it.
eeeh, I really like cute girls doing cute things, but it's not what I want from Soul Eater, I guess. Unless it's paritcularly good at being this kind of show.
