Finished Fantastic Children last night. I was very impressed with it over all; while the story is slow to start, it really picks up as the show goes on. The conclusion was very satisfying as well. I really ought to watch more of Takashi Nakamura's work at some point, it's clear that after watching both this and Harmony that he's quite talented.
Depending on how much of Tokyo Mirage Sessions I play today, I might end up starting the long journey of watching Urusei Yatsura. I'm really excited to see more of Oshii's comedic side!

Suwa can't stop being great. Even with
. He's willing to lose a lot (if the
) just to do that. You're great. And that ending was beautiful.
Either this or MP100 will end up being my original AOTS. Loving them both more and more with each episode.
Suwa can't stop being great. Even with
a future with the girl he loved and with a child, he still sends a letter to his past self in order to erase his, her and the group's regrets
alternate timeline theory is proven wrong

This random two episode ad for Berseria was pretty good, too bad we're going back to Zestiria next week.

Re:Zero 20
Well FUCK
This doesn't exactly look like a great outcome to what's going on. We see certain characters like Wilheim being rather badass, and wondering how the White Whale was so much of a threat.
Well..........

TURNS OUT THERE'S THREE WHITE WHALES

Damn this episode had me hyped and it delivered. Very good action and an oh shit moment at the end.
I need that William Spin of Novel translated..

What I don't understand is how can William remember his wife if she was eaten by the whale? Something tells me she might still be alive.

Tales of Zestiria the X ep.6
Ok, that was pretty damn dope! That dragon battle..!!! Great way to introduce the game to Japanese audiences that get to play it soon, but makes it a long hard wait for us in NA! The Berseria opening way pretty damn good with the rest of the Berseria OST previewed the past couple episodes great. Man, I can't wait for the game; it worked Bamco....

I think I'm going to put this on hold in hopes the animation can get cleaned up for the BDs. I'm still invested in the storytelling - I really like the overall approach the show is taking - but the art is becoming unpolished to an extreme degree. Randomly throwing in crude gag faces really put me off this episode. That's the sort of thing you get when the chief animation director is unable to provide proper oversight.

2nd phase of the White Whale RIPP
Macross Δ 15
I can't help but think there was a better way to try and humanize the antagonists rather than what was tantamount to an unskippable JRPG cutscene. The Windermere folk should, by all rights, be sympathetic villains but waiting 15 episodes to humanize a bunch of one note ideological assholes doesn't really do the trick.

I believe he had to go somewhere, episode 14 i think it was.
Yeah he's away from the capital on business. Must be more important than getting revenge on the white whale for killing his grandmother.

Glad you enjoyed it. Fantasic Children manages to achieve excellent payoffs of the major mysteries which it spends a long time tantalizing us with, which is an admirable feat. Nakamura is indeed quite talented, though I haven't heard great things about his other major work, Tree of Palme. Still need to watch that and Catnapped though.
Nice. Just be aware that the TV series takes a while to get going; the early episodes are mediocre more often than not. There's some great stuff eventually though.

Re:Zero 20
I can't believe this episode revealed that Subaru is actually in the Sword Art Online universe! Kirito is attempting to kill the White Whale for eating Asuna all those years ago.
Plus, we had an appearance this week and last by Neogaf's own Boss Doggie!
But really, that was a really fun fight.
This episode revealed that it is if you get directly hit by the fog attack that you are forgotten. She must've been killed otherwise.

Active Raid S2 06
Very much a Sena episode this time, with some light meta commentary of CG usage in kaiju films. There really do seem to be a lot of "hidden bombs" episodes in S2, although with a twist/gimmick each time, with this one being "3D-projections of giant monster attacks at the exact time bombs go off".
With this, looks like Bird is back for good now. Hopefully that means more Jirou and Hinata appearances going forward.

Re: Zero 20
What a great fight from the start of the episode to the very end of it. Wilhelm show off how fucking badass he is despite how aged he is was a sight to behold. At one point it felt like he could have singlehandedly defeated the whale.
But of course the whale had a few trump cards and despair reared its evil head once again

That eye gouging was brutal as fuck
But of course the whale had a few trump cards and despair reared its evil head once again
and they fucking used their best fucking attacks on the first fucking phase of the fight. Reinhardt needs to make an appearance or something because what is left of the army is clearly no match.

Yeah that was good. I've just sort of accepted that the show is basically just gonna be Narsus keikaku-ing and Daryun being totally OP, but thats ok. Its a fun watch, if nothing else.
Not entirely sure why this was called "Dust Storm Dance."
Where was the dust storm?
Should be called like... Pirate Storm Dance or... something =/

Eeesh, you weren't kidding when you said the production values on this dropped. Tons of missing frames, wanky art, and caricatures of facial expressions that hadn't ever been used up to now. Basically there were A LOT of corners being cut on this episode.
That being said I'm enjoying the story. I can't help but complain yet again about how
. At the same time though, I also can't help but feel bad for Kakeru ,
. It's an interesting and polarizing take on friendship and depression because of loss.

Suwa and Naho are basically telling their younger selves (even if from a different dimension) to erase all of their time together along with their child
for bottling up the regret that he has of not going with his mother to the hospital, which in a way was what caused her to commit suicide

Re:Zero 20
Could that sword, mamoru and flower backstory have been any more by the numbers?
I don't get the level of technology in this universe because it appears they have laser cannons. Is that magitek?
The Re:Zero paradox of having tons of strong characters who never do anything because reasons (aka thered be no problems)

I've been watching a few older shows and one I came across was Arslan.
The first few episodes were magnificent, but it's basically de-evolved into Team Arslan conquers all while beating in how he wants to free the slaves.
Such a shame.
It's amazing too since S2 had a great twist and now its back to square one.

I always had a soft spot for this kind of battles in games, though I think a lot of people dislike them. Epic scale, very big enemy with 1hko attacks, a lot of different allied forces and different battle or enemy phases, where you mostly inflict little to no damage, waiting for the opportunity to deliver some big hits and gradually take down the boss. The whale battle followed this perfectly, I couldn't ask anything more.

I'm assuming it's some type of Mana canon.
Re:Zero episode 20
That was a damn good fight! Can't wait for its conclusion next week because holy fuck idk how they are gonna get through THAT!
After watching week after week of shitty large scale fights in Hybrid X Heart its so damn refreshing to see a great, well animated large scale fight. This was good, damn good!

Reinhard >>>>> everyone else. Apparently he's not even comparable in power to anyone else in the ReZero universe.

At this point I too believe the only way they can pull through is if Reinhardt shows up. Maybe Roswall could be of some assistance too?

the witch, and she seemed to whisper something in Subaru's ear. In anime most characters look the same, and since we only saw half of her face there isn't much there in terms of facial features, but she seemed an awful lot like Emilia, except with lipstick on. Could this be... you know, her sister/mother or something? I am of course pulling tons of non-info here from all places that point towards her, like the OP, etc.

RIP Wilheim. He won't be missed. (unfortunately)
Decided to read a lil bit of Keijo!!!!!!! to prep myself for the anime...
Its actually kinda entertaining, idk how to feel about that
I will say that Xebec has its work cut out for them though.
iirc, even the web novel hasn't gotten far enough to figure that out yet.
I could be wrong though
