Persona 4 22
I would want a kotatsu.
Started out good, hit a boring medium, and finishes with a very good dramatic end.
I always like the showing off the new Persona and this battle didn't disappoint. Not surprised to see them I think shoehorn in and maybe redoing Fortune's social link. Sadly, I don't really like the next part or at least probably the next half of the next episode.

Kind of dissappointing. I was hoping it was like Akikan.

Yes. It's pretty much Trinity Seven + Princess Resurrection (which no one has seen/read).

I was wondering why do they even have guns till it showed them at a shooting range.
So, cute girls doing cute things that could cutely kill you.

Considering how fast they're going, now, it looks like they truly intend to end this story next week.

Great episode. In terms of what the Bentenmaru went through as well as seeing Marika rise to making decisions, space storms never looked and were more intense. I like all the cast of the crew and Sandaime is funny, tripping and shivering. Nice graphics with the

For some reason, this brings a certain Kinectimals gif from an E3 gone by to mind.
I was thinking the same thing.

Do all japanese space dramas refer space stuff like its the ocean? I recall it being like that in infinite space as well.
Anyhow, fun eps! I do kinda wish/hope this series goes looooonnnng.

So, what you're telling me is that they actually trimmed some content? Yikes.
If you're going to use that many frames, you don't need to optimize it if you're going to dither imo.
She's tsundere for her eroge.
You would have to taunt me with an awesome-looking Yes 5 gif! D:
It's Summer Vox.
Why!?
Why do you think?
So close, but yet so far. :/
What's wrong with her?

No! Let irrationality lead you!
Who could possibly not want more of the only anime brave enough to tackle serious feminist issues?
Blood+ 1
It occured to me while I was out that I had Netflix on my phone and could increase my anime watching efficiency. Fired up Blood+ and it seemed decent enough. The opening sequence was crazy but alas we end up back in high school. Dub wasn't so bad until that guy with the awful french accent though.
Kaiji 4-5
Once again I totally lost track of time watching this. So tense! I'm surprised the game could spawn such strategies too. That soundtrack is something else.
Masou Kishin Cybuster 5
To simulate Cybuster appearing, DC set up giant fans to blow around air which seems a bit ridiculous and reactionary. I'm sure they'll explain it further later but hte plot right now is someone on Earth is dumping its trash in another world called La Gias. One pilot ends up there and is returned to find no one believes her as there's no proof of such a place. Except y'know the huge freaking Cybuster that's nothing like they've ever seen and both appears and disappears mysteriously. The DC conspiracy deepens as said pilot becomes targetted more and more often by the very organization that hired her when in hindsight if they'd have just left her alone she'd probably have moved on by now.
Shin Mazinger Z 8
Weaker episode, I thought. Lots of setup and I suppose humbling Kouji was inevitable but still. My appreciation for Ashura grew at least and it was almost touching when Pygman showed him some concern.
Black★Rock Shooter TV 6
I'll finish it out but only because I've gone this far.

Only One Bodacious Space Pirate Here 10:
Can we change protagonists? I want to watch the adventures of the Bodacious Space Pirate Chiaki! :3 Seriously that whole bit was awesome. Actually this was the best episode of the show in my opinion in that it combined the normal thoughtful approach of it's prior episodes with some actual action to go with it!
Marika was actually pretty awesome in this episode too, but the show really belongs to Chiaki! :3 :3 :3 :3

As a fellow human being I advise you not to waste any more of your life on this series.
Looking through the Mania forums I read about a Roujin Z blu-ray. Why did I not know about this? It looks great!
The last episode of Blood-C is better than the entirely of blood+
last episode of blood+ was touching
last episode of bloodC was incomplete gore pandering (but its ok because we're making a movie!)

Oh man I'm so nervous, we've been only building up to this moment for ten freaking episodes. This is going to be totally epic. I better go evacuate my bladder before something happens. Aaaaaand back. Hey wait a minute, why is everyone celebrating and hugging each other? Are they in Heaven? Did Stellvia win Heaven's Astroball tournament? What's going on? I only left a few seconds ago...

Meanwhile back on Stellvia, someone switches the live feed with the Nise toothbrush scene.
Finally some action and Stellvia does not disappoint. We even get some really classy sci-fi music in the background making it's debut. It somewhat reminds me of old school Metroid on steroids, or metroids if you will. An eclectic mix of synth and what appears to be some Japanese sci-fi fanboy going wild on a theremin. A dream come true. The animation here too is the best so far and even though this whole event (come on, it's episode 10 out of 26) is a foregone conclusion, I confess I got really excited just watching it.
After defeating the small fry, it's time for the boss! And it's a special guest appearence from
And with that, this show is now a mecha.
Like a boss.
What follows are some of the most batshit insane but frankly outright awesome moments in this show so far. Suffice it to say, day is saved, humanity is saved, series is saved, anime is saved. lol jk. Not even Stellvia can save anime.
This was a powerful episode. Serious at every turn, almost making fun of the fact it hadn't been up till now by trolling with several false happy endings. It's like Nisemonogatari pretending it actually has a plot. Though the
is now over, things are really just beginning for the Stellvia crew. Where it goes from here I don't know, but it's nice to see that the narrative continues to shine when the material isn't overly optimistic.

Seems everything gets off to a better than expected start. Stellvia get the Great Wall up and running and people on Earth ("Somewere in Japan" features again) WATCH THE WHOLE THING LIVE. Sick.
Anyway, the radiation itself is indeed stopped by the wall. What hadn't been taken into consideration apparently was the er...space rocks...that came from the star.

Black Materia's Meteor from Final Fantasy VII! The lasers seem ineffective and for lack of backup sharks or white materia to counter it with, central command looks on helpless as it hurtles toward Earth. Don't they have nukes in the future? This is all Obama's fault.
To make matters worse, the hole that the black materia meteor made in the Great Wall is so big that the wall itself is in danger of collapse. This would lead to the destruction of the Earth, Luna and the colonies. Why didn't the Reapers think of this?
Fortunately the giant fighting robot "The Infinity" (as spoiled on today's half-time card) should be able to take care of the meteorite with it's weaponry and the Great Wall hole with it's technobabble. Guess who's piloting it? Yep, Shima and potential love interest Kouta.

That's not really very impressive though, considering that nothing happens in blood+ for fifty episodes.

A lot of it, actually. Including most of the explanation for Tsukihi.

I'm glad you were able to enjoy this series. Its one of the few that was sold as EIGHT volumes, like Kiddy Grade. Yes at one time companies were fleecing us with 8 discs instead of 6 or 7. And I bought it. I regret nothing >_>
The tin box the series is stored in is a really nice touch too.
