Smile Precure 6

Miyuki
at the South Pole was the true highlight of the show
. The humor in Smile has been very good so far, I wonder if they'll keep this up the whole show, or perhaps switch to something more serious.

Best spring show.

lack of hair explosion is disappointing. Luckily god grant us the power of gifs.

Blue Drop 1

-Choking.
-Girl fights.
-Blue Drop you have my attention.

Shuffle! 1

-Okay, a fan club within the school called the KKK. Since I was watching the dub, the character made sure to say they had nothing to do with "the mean guys with the sheets." The sub version makes no mention of that, but I don't think it's fair to expect it to, so whatever.
-The animation is all... weird. It's kinda yucky at times. I don't like it.
-But I'll give it a few more episodes.
-Oh screw this show. It's a trap. I know it. It's a harem just waiting to show me a final episode that leaves me with no closure at all.
-Gah, I'm curious... but I don't want to waste my time with an unsatisfactory ending.

I'm pretty sure there is some sort of closure in the Shuffle anime. A choice is made anyway.

He does pick a girl. The ending gets really fucking serious though. The show does a 180 in the second half. First part--harem. Second part--the shit hits the fan.

great avatar!
Thank you! I love me some Marika.

And Schnitzer but sadly, we aren't getting enough of him. :(

Edit: Now that I think about it. We've seen very little of the crew aside from them doing their jobs. Makes me sad.

*rubs hands together* Gooooood. I will commit to this show. I want to see shit hit fans.
 
Phi Brain 23

Pretty epic puzzle but wow
Kaito like transcended the Orpheus armlet, never would have imagined that. One of the top puzzle outcomes in the anime I think, great friendship and then the Rook breakdown there, pretty intense, strongest feelings Ive ever seen since Naruto.

I will miss brain diver next season, misskey miskey la tu ma. I need to find the second op unless it doesnt have an audio sample yet.

Amagami+ 9-10: Glorious narrator returns to make the Sae arc way better than it should be. No terribly awkward scenes which kind of surprised me (then again it's hard to top the previous arcs). I suppose Junichi's collection of Sae videos is something. Sae-arc Junichi is probably the dumbest version of himself. Or at least it seems that he gets into or does dumb things more so than the other arcs. There was bromehara getting it on with a fish doll and more nishishishi in a cat suit. I guess we see that 8 years later thing too. I wonder what was the impetus for this additional season. Other than Rihoko's conclusion, the rest of these arcs are kinda fluff. Not the fun kind of fluff either. The 'problems' introduced in most of the other arcs were dumb. I'd rather it'd have been just fun episodes that don't have barely developed two episode dramas.

Sailor Moon 15

This week on "When chipmunks attack"
Usagi was being unnecessarily cruel to Umino. Maybe to Luna too.

Sailor Moon 16

Another hilarious episode. Usagi the thief = fantastic.

This was pretty great too. The visual gags in this are wonderful.

Sailor Moon 17

Nephrite's always in the right place yet how'd he know to target him before consulting the stars? Gimmick busted.
Usagi was surprisingly capable this ep too.

Sailor Moon 18

Shingo, you dick. What is with all these creepy dolls too?

Sailor Moon 19

So Nephrite knows their identities? What? Oh Luna is asking the same question as I wonder this. I love the show for that sort of thing. Shotgun appraoach ftw I guess.
I approve of Sailor Moon Kick getting more airtime too.

Sailor Moon 20

:lol at Usagi keeping her fixed up bathing suit.

Sailor Moon 21

In-universe Sailor V anime? Sign me up. Ep was pretty good but it was a shame the Castor/Pollux friendship angle was so short.

Sailor Moon 22

All that foreshadowing. I.. I didn't expect Mercury to grill Tuxedo Mask like that though. Guess he deserved it since he ended up
taking advantage of that poor drunk girl afterwards.

Sailor Moon 23

Naru's one of those characters that keeps getting the short end of the stick. That was my feeling at the start.
Naru nearly get moon tiaraed later on cemented this.
oh fuck
Nephrite protecting her caught me by surprise.

Sailor Moon 24

Holy shit what an episode.

Rinne no Lagrange 10


I enjoyed this a fair bit more than the last few episodes mostly due to the lack of focus on the overarching space war plot which I really couldn't give a flying fuck about. Plus we're finally getting back to the mech fights which should hopefully be just as pleasing to watch as all the other ones have so far been.

What is this? because that line is amazing.
Yuri Seijin Naoko-san, there's a 6 min 2010 OVA and a 2012 OVA series. It's alright.

FYI with Lagrange 10 and the chairs: This week's chair was
Madoka's solo grounded green chair that can be spotted while she's running at the end of the episode.

Kid Icarus 3D anime part 2

They're really trying to recapture the feeling of the Starfox 64 dub, aren't they? Not sure it will work as well with this.

That Palutena joke attempt was so freaking cringe-worthy. I hope the game's humor isn't like that.
 
Mirai Nikki 21

So did they decide to abandon reasonable plot...
black holds/voids destroying the world? what in the world, this doesnt even make sense anymore. Oh well at least it seems it means Akise may finally have a better role. Liked everything before the 20 minute mark.
 
Sumomomo Momomo end

This is NOT what I expected out of the series. Such a crazy finale for a show that started out as a typical harem martial arts parody.

But man, this series really had a strong last couple of episodes. I could actually start to see some Magi quality at points even if it was still rough around the edges.

Overall, I would definitely say it's a show worth watching. Though I do feel the first few episodes are rather average, they did stay consistently funny. Koushi being the biggest buzzkill of a harem protagonist ever is actually genius because the interactions between him and the rest of the insane cast were only amplified. He even kind of learned to embrace the insanity even if he was all tsun about it. Definitely some good character development.

And of course it essentially turning into
DBZ
at the end was fun too. While the shift could have been done a bit better, the framework was always there what with Momoko using a big-ass special dragon technique in the very first episode. It just got a bit more serious while mostly maintaining a sense of humor.

Now I gotta track down the manga. Looks like the anime ended at the halfway point.

Do it! 11 out of 12 volumes have been published in America, with the 12th and last supposed to come out in May.

I watched anime.

Level E 5

One of my friends had been telling me that the show goes to shit around here, but I was at least entertained by this episode. It's disappointing that
baseball guy seems to be completely MIA even though he was awesome
, but I'm digging the absurdism. All these trollish episode endings are pretty fun.

Lower quality, but not disastrous.

Redline

YESSSSS

YEEEEEESSSSSSS

FUUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEESSSSSS

This was wonderful. It was a nonstop orgasm for my eyes and soul. Shit goes fast and things explode. It's beautiful. Everything should be like this all the time.

Style is substance. This is a total celebration of love, trust, guts, and speed. Every second was delightful. Madhouse died for my sins and I love them for it.

Guess I'm watching Lupin III this spring.
