Not sure what the point of those Pokemon shorts is meant to be, it's not particularly interesting from an animation standpoint and they aren't exciting for what should be tightly paced moments. I guess the focus is meant to be nostalgia but the gameboy opening and Giovanni seem to be the only "remember this?" parts of the entire thing. They just seem like a waste of 6 minutes.

honestly i don't understand what is really bad about this, at the very least we didn't get
chiaki was actually alive in the future

and hajime crying at the end gave me a new perpective on danganronpa 2, especially at the end where she "saves" him

i can't wait for future 11

Nice episode. Good to see Ikta not be allowed to go on cruise control. Liked how the episode built up the whole Ikta/Yatori are each others left and right hands only to flip it around as Yatori would kill him if ordered to.

I have no idea how Simon got less votes than Suzaku, or how Domon lost to freaking Setsuna and Kamille, or how Shinji lost to a character from Aldonoah friggin' Zero, but this is a much more solid top twenty than I expected. At least Master Asia is in the top 3 and good ol' Guy Shishioh is in the top 10.

Still, Noriko from Gunbuster not being on this list is DISGRACEFUL.

The QUALITY is distracting
Avilio is a moron. A pitiful one, but still a moron.
The 4th man reasons and actions are beyond stupid.
Yeah, kind of an awkward reason. Especially when Avilio is out for REVENGE. He's not going to forgive you just because you sold out your buddies. He's especially not going to forgive you now that he had to put a bullet in someone because of the 4th man.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Master Asia 3 is the most impressive part. Legit list.

Duckroll was right

TGS 2016

I got to meet Nagoshi and Satomi, missed out on Masayoshi though :( BUT THE NAGOSHI WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Was going to ask does anyone know what time and channel Mob Psycho broadcasts in Japan?

I enjoyed this despite the shitty quality. I can say I almost thought of reading the manga... almost.
Please do read the manga, you're missing out with just the anime.

The only good scenes are puck scenes.

Dangan Future 10 & Despair 9-10

Jesus Christ, this show is shit.

I must be a broken record by now, but Future had so much potential as a game or even as an anime if it focused on the misteries and the codes, and instead they chose to have remote controlled robots that shoot missiles, superhuman drug-induced beasts, a swordwielder with a year 4000 sword duking it out. That never was Danganronpa. Fights were comedy relief at best. This was never an action series, dammit.

Munakata is such an awful character as well. What you're saying doesn't even make sense, dude, just stop. And wasn't he already killing left and right and doing dumb shit before Tengen even spoke anything? Heck, Tengen only spoke after he was impaled.

Despite all that... it's just leagues better than Despair. Jesus.

I said before that Kirigiri's code in Future 09 redeemed this show and I kinda stand by it. It's great, even if they retcon it, and it justifies watching this mess. Nagito is always great whenever he's on screen too. Almost everything else is trash.

I really, really hope Kodaka stands by V3 being as far away as possible from this despair plotline. Just focus on doing an Ace Attorney clone with talking bears and it'll be fine.

Oh cool, Ayama did something....Oh, she's back into helpless princess mode.

Mob mentality runs strong within the train. I bet they are going to be really mad since Mikasa killed that women even after they were all against the two who saved all of their lives.
 
Yeah, this sucked...

This show has been really strong writing wise. It has been delivering on my expectations of a serious mob tale. This week I felt that bullet lol.

It's bit of a shame that the production seems to have been slipping since that recap week. Going back to the episodes before it shows that the animation and art were much more carefully crafted there.

Where the hell is Klim Nick?!?

Better list than I would have thought, with Master Asia suitably high. But if I was making that list it would definitely have Van Flyheight, Raven, Akito Tenkawa, Show Zama and Gije.

Welp. There's no way this show ends effectively in 1 episode, so either it has 13, or it goes beyond single cour. But they'd have to end the arc regardless. So it has to be 13 episodes. Even if this wasn't anime and a second season to a LN/manga series was announced, I don't think there's enough material for it.
 
Thunderbolt 11

Another fantastic episode, and another show that now in hell will it end in 1 episode.

I would assume this ends in 2 more. Looks like next episode we get to see Pwwwwotagonist's fight. Awesome.

berserker armor is already pretty lame

How dare you! Legit my favorite thing about that armor is when
one apostle comes out going "Noooooo! He's too scary!"
It was the best.

Also checked out some scenes of the anime, just a catch up on my favorite moments of that arc. Honestly, the CG made for some neat animation tricks and did offer a great fluidity to the fights sometimes But for the most part, hits felt flat and floaty(which is super bad considering the main character is a heavy sonofabitch), action was tough to tell a lot of time, and character models lacked good details, an irony since one of Berserks big selling points is the detailed art style. I dunno, it made me appreciate the strengths of 3D anime, but maaaaan was Berserk a bad choice to use it for...

this is firmly my #2 aots. God damn. The emotion on that final scene. That last line.

Once more into the mobster fray. Into the last good HBO anime I'll ever know.

Live and die on this day
