Damn, I knew that voice sounded familiar.
Probably some of the Sentai discs I have are bare minimum tech. I know they sure look and feel cheap.

If you don't want to use that weird crowd-sourced translation streaming site, Ozuma (or Ozma, which seems to be the official romanization) will be streaming on Crunchyroll.
I loled
somehow Sexy looks like half as good as godruka despite her being the same character with different hair color.

Its only six episodes? Seems kind of short for an epic space opera.

It does get better, so I would encourage you to stick with it past the character introduction stage even if you're not crazy about it at first. If nothing else, at least watch episode 25 or 79 to see how the show develops later on.
How does that Viki site have 4 millions likes on Facebook? First time I have ever hear of it.
Anyway, can't wait to see what else CR will be picking up.

explain how Nanako came back to life. Us who've played know how it works, but for those yet to play, I hope they explain it for them.

It looks like they're not going to do the Izanami end after all, or if they do it'll be really short. My guess is that it'll be an OVA, if they choose to do her. Next episode will be getting Kuma back and then discovering Adachi and the confrontation at the hotel in the world will be the second half. Then the last episode will probably be his battle and the farewell. I'm looking forward to Adachi's bitches and whores speech though. It was great in the game.

While the outcome was about what I expected, the lead-up wasn't anywhere close.
Really interesting direction the case went in.
That foreshadowing with the doll was great too. I noticed it and thought it was a bit odd, but I quickly forgot.
Also, Keaton seems to get involved with eccentric old women quite a bit.

You wouldn't normally portray the missing person as a deranged psychopath with a completely fucked up life.

Maybe they could fit it all in if they take out the OP like they did with this episode and also merge the ED with the animation.
Amagami SS+ 11:
They may be "playing", but Hibiki knows she's the third wheel here. I wonder if she's more jealous of Junichi or Haruka?
My body was not ready. I'm already almost ready to declare this the best arc, especially after Junichi's overactive imagination
.
The whole "playing pretend" thing seems below everyone's age range, but I suppose that one of Haruka's charm points is her playfulness. I find her personality hard to pin down, but I've had a revelation about what exactly makes each girl waifu material during their respective SS+ arcs, so I'm sure I'll do the same with Haruka.

LATE GAME SPOILERS:
I can see that. The only thing i'm worried about is rushing it. I mean, we still have Teddie's reunion+explanation, the hunt for the culprit, Adachi's story+motives in the shadow hotel, Adachi dungeon, the actual fight and revelation of shadow Izanagi, the reveal+story of Izanami, the finding of the truth orb, the Izanami dungeon, two parts to the boss fight, and the goodbyes at the train (should only take like 3 minutes though). Not to mention with all the arcana, they'll probably throw in an ultimate fusion.
It just seems like a lot to cram in there. I can see them maybe short-changing the Teddie reunion and folding that into the Adachi reveal and then make the chase to him super short, with Izanami appearing at the end of the next episode and cracking it out that way.

Marika was pretty cool in episode 10, especially with that last phrase. Chiaki's behaviour is always sort of cute, even when she's playing
The ED for episode 9 sort of scared me. I thought they had changed it, but thankfully it was back to the old one for episode 10.

That was absolutely nuts! So much insane shit happened in this episode. Issei's boosted gear keeps getting more ridiculous which is saying something right after Yuto's ridiculous sacred gear is introduced.
Best show of the winter season!

I don't get what I just watched. It doesn't feel like a complete short film at all. It's more like an animated trailer, opening movie or ad for a game. Really disappointing. :/
So I've decided to wrap up what I have left of Sailor Moon R. I'm planning on marathoning several series at the same time (of which Sailor Moon S is one), and my OCD demands that I begin my marathon with the first episode of each respective series, so this is sort of.......a pre marathon-marathon or something.
Sailor Moon R 79:
What's all the fuss? That's just a regular day here in Ohio.
I'm really not a fan of mascot characters. Hito argues that Luna and Artemis are at least better than any of the cuddly things in Precure, which I don't disagree with, but they're ultimately just the most tolerable out of an entire type of character that shouldn't exist at all. I think that seeing the preview for this episode is the reason that I burned out on R at this point in the first place.
It ended up being okay, and really underscored the important point that
Nice change of pace to see

I'm missing out.
Guilty Crown, Daily Lives and some Persona 4.
The Winter dice roll did not treat me very well.
(Though I've had some good laughs with Daily, I guess)
On the bright side, I've been watching older/self-overlooked anime that has been quite enjoyable.

Yeah, seems like people are having a good time with it. I'll probably put it on my to-do list.
Trailer is definitely the right word.
The 3D looked neat I guess, though I don't know if it adds that much to anime.
Erika is the best~
Some more teasing of the main villain,
up on his asteroid.
while the Precures get new attacks.
Sasorina was so close to being healed, I wonder if that will happen again later?
The preview for next episode looks amazing,
Dark Precure, Tuxedo Mask the Hot Guy who shows up occasionally to save them, showdowns, more special Precure abilities, Cure Moonlight... what more could you want?
It's enjoyable, but uneventful.
The "uneventful" complaint really doesn't hold up any more at this point.

Wonder what her vendetta was against the townfolks and the main team.

Yeah, that episode was good stuff. The finale next week should be even more ridiculous. Hope this'll get another season or five - the whole season somehow feels like a prologue (because that's probably what it is)...
I feel trolled,
Yuri needs to smile more
Hot Guy is Coppe?!
Apart from that shocking revelation, this was an awesome episode, full of Grandmother moe, :firehawk, and
the Precure Palace. I really like what they've done to give a bit of mythos to the Precure in HeartCatch.
As for the next episode preview,
omg oh God oh yes CURE MOONLIGHT IS BACK

They're really rushing through the material now. Hopefully that means they've got a good stopping point prepared.

Is heartcatch better than smile? What shall I watch first?
Just catch up on smile first since there's so few episodes. And then watch HeartCatch, because it's the best Precure show. And watch Sailor Moon too!

Puella Magi Madoka Magicka: Episode 05
Looking forward to next week!
Man, this show... I'm trying to avoid any amount of emotional attachment to anyone because I just don't know anymore. Homura is still my favorite though, darn it, and I'm worried about what might happen in the future.
Sayaka's fight was pretty awesome, and it was sort of tense seeing two magical girls fighting for once. Homura saving Madoka from throwing her life away again, haha. So dramatic in her timing. I swear, she does it intentionally.

Heartcatch is the best Precure. You could watch both really, Smile is only up to ep.6 or so.
Up to this point it's mostly been evading, exposition, and dinner theater. Which sounds like a fun evening, but 10 episodes?
Don't get me wrong, it's definitely picked up and I like it quite a bit, I'm just trying to say that anyone watching it shouldn't expect it to kick into high gear in the first few episodes.

An exceptionally daring and dense visual style, which is saying something for this show.
An overabundance of rough lines streaming all over the characters. Sharply contrasting colors.
Dynamic, angular camera angles.
A full leap into the surreal.
Passions are boiling over to the point that nothing can restrain them. Which is a bit overwhelming for me as the viewer. It was difficult to take everything in on first viewing. One character moment that stood out was
The meta moment at the end was amusing. I have no idea how everything is going to be wrapped up in the last episode. but I'm eager to see.

Passions are boiling over to the point that nothing can restrain them. Which is a bit overwhelming for me as the viewer. It was difficult to take everything in on first viewing. One character moment that stood out was
the link of brotherhood between Kazuma and Toshihiko, forged in youth and still strong at Kazuma's death - his feelings of distrust and inferiority look even more horribly misguided now.

If they don't explain it in the show (which I hope they do for folks like you), I will tell you they for sure explain it in the game.

Hmm... Not really sure how to take this ending. It feels like it got a bit too crazy for its own good, and lost sight of the characters a bit in order to indulge in some setpieces.
I'm not entirely displeased with how things ended up (
), but I think the show started stronger than it finished.

I like the portrayal of the relationship between Ooba and his son that it was aiming for, but it got overshadowed by the grotesqueness of Ooba's walking head and chasing after his eyes and trying to keep the big ball from slamming into Tokyo (what was the whole deal with that anyway? - I thought Ooba was trying to turn humans into Flesh Eaters, not flatten the city) and such. The long-distance phone advice was also an unnecessary complication.

There is an OVA episode, but you shouldn't watch it until after you finish the series.
