Qualidea Code 04
Comedy show of the season.
Seriously, if Regalia need to halted for a month, this QUALITY fest show should be halted for at least 3 months lol.

Wrong. Nyan Nyan was gorgeous, delicious, and Deculture.
That was referring to the whole "Wind" part. Deculture part was below that. It was sprinkled very liberally in Frontier.
Wow, the ether from Qualidea Code...
whoa what, I thought this was episodic :X
Thunderbolt Fantasy 03-04
Still going strong, cool set of characters keep getting added - always a thrill to listen to them deliver glorious lines.

Qualidea Code Episode 4 Canary in the Coal Mine
Will my plot prediction from last week come true
I loved the whole war going on and seeing Icchan display the emotions hes needed to have before.
Will my plot prediction from last week come true
since Canaria was gobbled up by that thing and there was blood floating, or will she mysteriously survive

The anime just isn't as good as the manga, and this arc dragged even in the manga.

My top shows of the season are lookin' like this -
1. JoJo
2. Mob Psycho
3. Danganronpa
4. Thunderbolt Fantasy
5. Love Live Sunshine
Dropped -
Berserk
91 Days
Masou Gakuen HxH
Soma S2
Soma manga is a total crapshoot right now so that's not even true anymore. If it took me 20 minutes to read a Soma chapter like it does to watch an episode I'd have dropped it months ago.

Look up fold waves for some more answers.
You'll notice they mention fold resonance in episode 2, too iirc.
There have been other things related to stuff from Frontier in it as well, though you haven't gotten to it yet.

Excellent. Is this the first time the series has been transitioned to Blu-Ray?

So those two do have their own lore. Cool, thanks guys. I'm actually enjoying this a lot, for such a weird premise, everything just flows and works perfectly.

AL are going to leave the next con with a vague sense of unease, like something is missing.
Cowboy Bebop. Escaflowne. Mobile Suit Gundam. IDOLM@STER: XENOGLOSSIA. These are the titles we think of when we think about Sunrise.

B-PROJECT Episode 4.5 Special Episode Premium
Yes the voice of best Kitakore!
I dont think Id have seen many of the voices for B pro before, they havent been in any of the other live events Ive watched. This one was alright but I would have preferred a bit more random stuff. Easily preferred first half over MooNs though maybe thats because Kitakore is in the first one and also Goshin voice.

Do we know if it's a good conversion?
This Art Club has a Problem 04
This episode wasn't all that good I don't think - nothing even really happened in the Colette's walk skit. The new club advisor's flaws seem contrived too ("I'm not a suspicious person!!" isn't something anyone would say when introducing themselves to their students, even if this is a SOL comedy.)

Well people were complaining they wanted more lighthearted moments, and what better lighthearted moments than two runaways driving down the countryside as they're being chased by a cartoonish gigantic mexican that dual wields machetes and has a beagle partner in crime. He must've been inspired by Machete, down to saying almost nothing and dual wielding.. well machetes.
The scene with the kids was an easy way to give these mobster characters some more humanity, but effective so I can't complain. Their bonding throughout the adventure was needed too as Avillo is a bit of a stick in the mud. I mean yeah at the end of the day he still has the ulterior motive but for now I guess i'll take it.
The whole episode almost felt like a B-plot cowboy bebop episode, such as the cowboy or the mushroom one so I definitely enjoyed it. And let's not forget the scene where he kicked the mexican in los huevos and the fucking 'DING' sound effect played, that is like Looney Tunes levels of old school lmao.
I wouldn't mind more of these episodes with more lightheartedness but I guess this would be the comedic break in a drama series.
The show has officially done the 4 episode rule effectively and it still ranks high in my AOTS list, probably the top at the moment. Where Thunderbolt started really high and has lowered a bit in enioyment as the initial excitement of puppets fighting has gone down, this started out strongly and like with most HBO shows it just has solid episodes afterwards. As of right now the show is missing an enjoyable main cast female character, which in theory they could have had with the sister if she had more screentime. And maybe she will in future episodes. But it isn't surprising that a mafia story has little to no female cast seeing how it's usually depicted as a man's story. On the references side a nice obvious reference this episode was the Goliath bit, when Avillio fights him with a sling and throwing objects at him.
edit: also in reference to the Looney Tunes bit that Beagle was hilarious. When the owner gets hit by a car he's all

Rinne S2 Episode 41
He actually loves rokuro this was an amazing episode. The kids part was too good.
I couldn't help laughing everytime Tsubasa and Sakura asked if he was a girl, because my brother made the same question before them.

Tamako Market 1
The visuals are full of energy and vibrant color. The animation is very lively and smeary, while the background art feels like someone dumped a big box of crayons all over the canvas. There's a consistent attempt at nuanced photography that adds a sense of three-dimensional space to the environment. I can respect all the effort that went into the production.
Unfortunately, the comedy that dominates this episode is excessively daft and vapid, in a way that takes the worst aspects of the first season of K-ON and exaggerates them. All the characters are artificial affected airheads, Tamako most of all. Everything about Tamako feels like an empty charade, down to her incidental movements. The pace is excessively hyper, as if the show just drank ten cups of coffee before starting. There's even heavy use of the technique of quickly slightly moving the camera position on an essentially static shot. It takes the warmth of the visuals and dials it up to unbearably hot levels. This really feels like Naoko Yamada at her worst.
Ah well, I'm only watching this for episode 9 and Love Story anyway.

There was a girl attempting suicide. There was a musical. There were Eraser Boys there too.

Rewrite 5: I'm sensing some favoritism in how well produced this episode was, and IIRC the director is a big Lucia fanboy. I'm pretty sure the ED at the end was anime original too. In the PC version Lucia's insert song is shared with Akane's ED theme, although the lyrics apply to both of them I'm pretty sure it was written for her. I'm not sure if the console version or Rewrite+ did anything different.
