Fingers crossed
for more pilot outfits and less boring looking mechs past ep. 1
I'll watch it, just not yet I guess. And I don't really like watching series that are longer than 26 or so episodes, so 12 would be nice! No dragging it out BONES onegai.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Cool. It is quite good. ^_^

I don't know about that, it could of at least had one cour's amount of episodes trimmed off.
I'm also watching both Lost Canvas and Heartcatch in preparation for Omega, yes.
Princess Jellyfish 1-2
Clara is so cute it almost makes me not hate jellyfish.
I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed the first two episodes. Maybe part of it was just the contrast between this and Glass Fleet, but I had a big dumb smile on my face for most of it. Something about the cast is just clicking, though; making your antiscoial shut-ins female otaku, instead of male, winds up making it feel fresh.
The OP is fantastic, too.

Don't forget Casshern Sins if you haven't seen it yet!
Haiyoru! Nyaruani: Remember My Love(craft-sensei) 1-12 END
Gee, thank's for the heads up! And hey, it would have been even better if you also warned me about the Ending being about as long as the actual show itself!!! Thankfully the rather self aware nature of the show actually made this fairly enjoyable, even though I really don't care about Lovecraft or the Cthulhu Mythos at all.

I'd cut out about 10 episodes or so from the middle section.
I watched enough to know it's not something I care to finish.
But yeah, dat Umakoshi art.
More like Fabulous Max.
Sailor Moon 10
Sailor Mars appears! Now for the important part:
Sailor Moon's transformation > Sailor Mars's > Sailor Mercury's
Ok, with that out of the way, we can get to the important part of this episode, NTR.
Already, you can see a bit of a rivalry brewing between Rei and Usagi, which seems to be the focus of the next episode, based on the preview.
Did Sailor Mars start the tradition of the Red magical girl being hotblooded and getting fire powers? Rei seems to be a bit clumsy as well, though that could have just been Jadeite interfering with her powers.

Tuxedo Mask needs to stop wooing young girls or else this will turn into a harem.

Flying the Flag for you~
I probably should not have said ruined. They just make every adaptation Shafty and most of they series they are adapting do not fit with Shafts style. The biggest offender recently would be Dance in the Vampire Bund. They totally changed it for their style and they took out everything I liked about the manga. Another would be Arakawa Under the Bridge, they made their style overwhelm everything else though I did enjoy it more then Dance. Finally any SHAFT sequal except for Nisomonogatari. Bakemonogatari does fit with with Shaft's style so I can enjoy that. It would benefit Shaft if they just make a original animu with their style.
Eureka Seven needed less bitching, and more whatthefuckjusthappenedholyshitRENTONSMASH.
Xam'd
I don't think length was the problem. Had they made Xam'd's boring second half even longer I would've dropped it. The show should've focused on the amazing airship battles/slice-of-life-ish pacing that the first half did a great job of.

the length was just right imo
And then you remember that jellyfish dont have faces
Xam'd was a series where individual episodes often shined, but the whole makes no sense whatsofuckingever.
Taking episodes on their own and judging their individual merits, the material shines. Looking at it as one whole cohesive work, and its a total clusterfuck.

now that's just crazy talk!
This is a pretty good summary of Xam'd.
the episodes where the MC had the mask and was with the old lady where great. I also loved the episodes where his best friend when insane and then killed himself in a insane way

Lol too much time on my hands the past few days. going to try and finish tonight and tomorrow.
I had never done a marathon for a series over 24 episodes.
It's what happens when you don't watch things that aren't anime.

Yes! They nailed
. They fuckin nailed it! Though I don't like that they cut out the short scene of the
but it's not important.
The insanity is just gonna keep escalating from here. One of my favorite scenes of all time in anything ever is coming up, possibly even next episode. REALLY hope they don't ruin it with censorship even if it does get fixed by the BDs.
Also, this face is amazing:
5 episodes to go with 12 chapters to cover. Definitely doable.

Minene's death

I'm pretty sure it's because

Definitely a good series to marathon. The pacing is really good in the anime.
I think that's what I took away from it as well. Some of the smaller, isolated stories were great.
You sound like me when I was marathoning 400 episodes of One Piece a couple of years ago. I was so easily manipulated by the cliffhangers that I was downing 15-20 episodes a day at my peak. You should try tackling that next and see how long you last, hah.
ahahaha, oh man, no way. I might have to watch this eventually.

Kinda wish it had some more downtime episodes though.
Been considering giving One Piece a shot.

Daily Lives of High School Boys 10
Literature Girl, why you are so great?
Pretty good episode. I liked the slipping one, and pretty much Literature Girl stuff in general. Karasawa was the best of course.

One Piece's literally the best of the best. Go for it.
I'm in the middle of Skypiea right now. Fun times.

A lot of people consider Fairy Tail a poor man's One Piece. I don't really agree beyond the art maybe, but I think you'd probably like it as long as you can get past the first couple of arcs which are pretty slow.

Is this show based on a 4 koma?

Not hating Skypiea then, right? Good, it's a neat arc even if it isn't Arabasta-tier.
Nope.
yeah, it's on another level, even more hilarious and genius.
It's just weak for One Piece, and OP at its worst is still pretty good. It's the first big adventure arc that doesn't touch on the main conflict all that much, and most people are surprised by this coming off of Arabasta (I'll admit, I was too.)
I think the whole aspect of exploring a whole new settings and life was worth it. Plus the arc did show some new aspects of One Piece powers and another plot related event.

I'm not really sure anime fans are more susceptible to melodramatic emotional manipulation. That type of stuff pervades all media. Maybe the melodrama is lower quality in anime, but those types of stories are everywhere.
