I am not generally a fan of mecha shows (I dunno, they're kinda offputting to me?), but I did like Gargantia a lot. X: X:
I will give Comet Lucifer a shot (guess that makes eight...), even though "Giftium" ugh fuck off anime.

I guess this is normal if you like anime and you have plenty of time. As for me, this is mostly come down to if I can find the anime and buy it for my collection. As of now, its growing as we speak.
OG Beef Stroganoff: The Anime- 5
So how long are they going to drag out the scientist lady is the obviously evil blonde villain for? She does have a nice ass though.
Why we have to be naked and why I have to torture you? Don't worry about those small details.
Could they have made it more obvious? Same hair ends with those dual squarish ends, butterfly emblem, one around the neck and the other in the hair, Chris's reaction to her in the factory, and the blood on the briefcase. Not to mention both are supposed to be the sexual 'vixens' of the show making the connection even easier. I guess they didn't want to show the eye color in the intro as it would have made it even more obvious. Watch them drag this shit out for 6 more episodes leading to the 'big betrayal' moment.
That intro had some of the worst Engrish I've ever seen in anime, which is impressive. Even the subtitles seem to have given up at one point and were like "We'll just write some shit and we think it's close enough". How hard is it to get English voice actors for some of these lines? "Of course I understand. As there is a so in, more a do so a dog is wounded to live." lol what
After GATE, this stuff sticks out like a sore thumb. dohohoho
Naked Chris torture aside, I'm starting to like Hibiki. She has a sort of genki stupidity that normally I might find grating but it comes off as so earnest, I find it endearing. Her songs are still weaksauce though, the VA just isn't that good. We also have our obligatory King Arthur reference with Durandal. Show is better without Tsubasa.
Obvious King Arthur inspired shot but still really cool due to the background art.

Durandal has nothing to do with King Arthur, It was the sword of Charlemagne's paladin Roland

This is where Fate/Stay Night has screwed me up in regards to which sword belonged to who and other crap like that.
Well whatever, they're still going for the sword in the stone imagery as she literally makes a sword out of stone and that pose is attributed to King Arthur.

I mean, in the first place if they wanted to make a King Arthur reference, why would they use anything besides Excalibur?
hosannainexcelsis

When I first saw him use that title, I thought "Is he talking about Super Robot Wars: Original Generation...?"
Maybe there is an actual Excalibur in that universe. No sense giving the main character the best weapon in existence right from the get go.
Edit: Besides most Arthurian mythologies I've read have stated that the Sword in the Stone wasn't Excalibur anyway. So they would have had to do Calasomething.

An overly serious finale. It was an alright series. Simple concept of having a bunch of siblings with powers and an election to the throne with a somewhat interesting variety and cute protagonist. It tried a lot of things but still played it mostly safe. It didn't really turn out bad though. If you don't like the very shy protagonist, you'll probably find it boring

People posting the webm after the episode. Honestly it's the only reason I picked up the show.
Edit: The show also has some weird obsession with food.

I can't say watching Charlotte didn't motivate me to finally watch this film; ya know, tine travel and all that.. The animation and art style was unique and certain shots were simple sketches, but we're beautiful and amazing. The the story was engaging and the characters were really good for the most part. The plot played out well and offered a good balance of comedy, drama, and yes, romance. I mean, there was no relationship development, but this was clearly a love story in the vein of 5cm. It's not always the ending, but the journey there. The film offered a lot of heart and emotion and watching characters grow personally and emotionally right in front of you is very rewarding. Overall, this was a really good film.

So is there some deep connection between lesbians and pancakes that I'm unaware of? Well I'm glad the show is moving past Hibiki keeping a secret from her friend stuff. I will appreciate that Miku isn't dramatic about it but rather somewhat understanding as this could have been much more aggravating.
That face when your old friend sees you hanging out with your new friend but you didn't invite said old friend.
So yea I'm warming up to Hibiki as a character. Her forwardness is being played off comedically and so far it's worked out pretty well to make her endearing. Oh and it looks like the composer isn't dead after all.
Happy belated birthday Hibiki! You should probably hold out some info for the second date though.

I am fairly certain I asked the same thing when I watched that episode. I still don't know.

Pancakes are good and so are lesbians.
Honestly the show isn't bad enough to hatewatch. Yes there is tons of 'so edgy' drama but at this point I just mentally block it out. However it's not an awful watch despite how terrible the writing is. It does seem like the show is getting better too, as Tsubasa's crap is being toned down.
While I think most prefer the animated version, you should try the live action movie. It's pretty good, imo. :3The Girl Who Leapt through Time

Not a damn thing bruh.. I was b itching about this earlier. I think there was only like 1 show even with a "romance" tag on it.
Oh there are definitely romance anime next season, just depends if you want one without the harem or mecha tag too.

Also try, Only Yesterday, my favorite ghibli flick.

OG Beef Stroganoff: The Anime- 7
Ugh, and the show was doing pretty well too. Tsubasa had toned it a few notches down, only for everybody else to turn it a few notches up.
Is there a reason she needs to be naked in all of her scenes?
I was hoping Miku was going to avoid this crap but yet nope. This drama flat out isn't working on any level. Not only is it cliche ridden to high heaven but the direction and writing don't do anything interesting or note-worthy with it either. There's no energy in how it's depicted, portrayed, or set up. The clash between the comedic and serious elements are jarring. The show would be much better if it just cut all this stuff out and focus on the fighting aspect. Such a lust for melodrama...
nnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooo not this shit
It could be worse.
You could be experiencing this terrible arc while also seeing the VN art!
Seriously Key, just... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Finally got around to watching this, Seiji Mizushima and Urobuchi's sci-fi CG movie. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Music and action scenes were great. Obviously the mecha CG was better than the human CG, but nothing looked weird or unnatural. Story was alright; the main plot was fine and they provided just enough background detail to give things context but it was still a vague backstory; would have liked just a little more worldbuilding there. Very sparse cast, but I liked the characters and when they're voiced by Rie Kugimiya, Shinichiro Miki, and Hiroshi Kamiya, it's hard to go wrong. Fun movie overall; nothing spectacular but solid all around. Makes me less worried about the CG future of anime, at any rate.

Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, episode 3
This is probably the most failure I have seen the defense suffer in an Ace Attorney case. Their first day ends in complete failure and only one very lucky event saves them, and in the second day they seem to be running around in circles with nary a progress to be seen. It isn't until almost the very end when the defense starts having a good grasp of how things actually happened. Mystery is really clever too. I thought I had it and them bam! It was completely different from how I imagined it happened. In terms of clever mysteries this game has them in spades.
The case also has the most unsubtle character ever in Ace Attorney, and that is saying a lot. Name is Aristotle Means and his principle is The End Justifies The Means, and he won't let you forget it.
Athena was truly a brilliant inclusion as her and Apollo bounce off each other really well.
Finally I find out what The Dark Age of the Law is. I consider the concept silly as things were that bad anyways. Their system was devised to be as efficient as possible so that criminal cases end in three days, innocent people are falsely charged with crimes all the time, and they are guilty until proved innocent, which requires a most stringent burden of proof. Meaning things were already dystopian, I don't see how anything has changed.

Which, it should be noted is animated.
Hell, I don't think there's any time in Symphogear S1 where Hibiki going Alucard isn't animated well.
