Ah My Buddha Katsu - 11

I didn't think it was possible for this episode to be worst than the last but it was. Forcing this development just shows a lack of care and bad foresight. I am honestly insulted. It's particularly bad because the nonexistent character development has been apparent since the early in the beginning, and when serious character moments are happening like Ikkou's dream, it feels petty. And the recaps are just obnoxious at this point in the story. This episode was simply unremarkable.
 
Reborn 181-185

This arc is pretty cool. I like how the anime keps us interacting with the arcobaleno, I think Im starting to like Skull the most, probably the one most like me, and Verde is hilarious. Lambo kept me laughing especially in the inheritance episode at Namimori with Skull, Hibari, and Ryohei.
 
Ah My Buddha Katsu - 12 (Finale)

First and foremost, Ikkou, I didn't think you were the kind of person who was interested in foreplay
because you got off on foreplay, so the concept of foreplay is lost on you.
Secondly, why the hell did they cram in Kazuki's flashback in this episode. It's just incredibly forced when done this way. Third, Kazuki, I don't think the actions you've taken means friendship. Fuck buddies, yeah. But friends? Uh, amusing concept of friendship. Lastly, finale was totally underwhelming. As a matter of fact, such an ending was totally undeserved. I mean really (too lazy to double check), but reusing animation like the mackerel from the first season for the last minutes of a finale? Why the FUCK would you end it on such a low note?
 
Just watched it a week ago, and I must be the only person to
find solace in that smile. It was like the happy equivalent of a jump-scare.

Of course,
I got the song stuck in my head at work, started thinking about the past, and almost broke down in the middle of my shift. It was great.

Still can't stop listening to that song.

Yeah. I think that, ultimately, it's that freaking awesome song that sticks. Fuck it.
 
Law of ueki 1 - This was bad. Weak direction, weak animation, ugly ass art, barely anything happened in this episode to apart from the ending, the main girl is pretty :cajun that's about it. What am I getting myself into :(
 
You guys may have already read duckroll's, 7th's, and Basileus' impressions of that episode, but don't believe their lies. They severely misrepresented just how amazing that episode truly was. It was truly one of the most incredible anime episodes I have ever watched. And you guys know I've watched a lot of awe-inspiring anime. You owe it to yourselves to witness this unique experience. You will never look at anime the same way again.

Curiosity rising.
 
Guilty Crown 16
Yeah this Shu is kinda uugh... what a fucking dick.
Argo was cool though hope he doesn't die
Somebody called it earlier in the thread about Inori though. Good one.
Also Gai's back? Not cool. I guess from the OP/ED it was predictable. Obviously he'll be a bad guy now too...
Somebody better knock some sense into Shu though.

Pick a visual method of indicating flashbacks and stick to it already!

There were a lot of silly, over-the-top things going on in this episode. It's a shame the pedestrian direction kept it from being as enjoyable as it should have been.

And this episode's "Laugh at DEEN Art" corner:

I am IMMENSELY disappointed this did not got a
nice boat
ending.
Should've just let the meteorite hit him.
Also needed more Meme.
 
Glad to see some more 5cm love in here.

Black Rock Shooter 2

This is, by far, the most unbelievably stupid show I can recall watching in recent memory.
Bring on the rest of it.
 
You could seriously write an entire paper on the writing of that episode.
I was actually taking it semi-seriously right up until
Kagari threw herself down the stairs in a creepily calm fit of yandere jealousy
, at which point I decided "alright, fuck the plot, I'm just in this for the ride from here on out." The subsequent
mental breakdown in the hospital and macaron missile massacre
only further reinforced that.

Surprisingly I'm not as upset about this as I thought I would be.

At any rate, I'll bet Eri Kitamura had a lot of fun recording this episode.

[i]Fuck.[/i] This thing's like a shotgun blast to the face to someone who parted ways with their most significant other at some point...

[spoiler]That final part with the song killed me. And the final scene... Ugh.[/spoiler]

Edit: [spoiler]Yeah, I know that the last scene with the smile is supposed to be seen as a positive one. But, fuck.[/spoiler][/QUOTE]

I love 5cm. Watched the movie twice, read the manga and even read some parts of the novel.

I liked the part where
the mom was cool with the totally ludicrous situation that was basically destroying her daughter from the inside out.

Stole the episode.
My god, did the first part of the episode just dragged and dragged on. More emotions, more internal ramblings and instrumental stationary buying!
Then, Mr. BDSM appears and all hell breaks loose. He made this episode into something enjoyable and even got his own ED.

Also how
"it wasn't her legs, it was her heart"
.

I don't think I'll ever find as much pleasure as you do in utterly ripping a show apart, even when one deserves it, but I can see why it's fun sometimes.

It's truly spectacular. We've underestimated Mari Okada.

The Law of Ueki: 12

So he blindsides him and goes for the gonads, but then Robert stops him only to ask him to do worse. Not very bro-like. Backstory! Also, meanwhile in hell...Incredibly contrived reasons for an infodump, and a complete retcon.
If Robert and Ueki are celestials, I fully expect transformations and more powers.

The Law of Ueki: 13

JUST LIKE MR K, powerups, and the infodumped promising of more. And a sob story for even the beast (that makes no damn sense since the thing can apparently shape shift anyway.) I just don't know.

The Law of Ueki: 14

Now that
it's been said that Ueki's a celestial, a completely different power bracket, and his only real challenge will be Haydn, another celestial, every battle leading up to that show down really feels like complete filler, even if they say that some of the Robert's 10 are as strong as a celestial (Which is Bleach levels of power-bracket breaking).
Also, we have a training chamber, people. Training chambers.

The Law of Ueki: 15

With a motivation like that... you get one incredibly predictable ep. The fight in this ep was anti-climatic as hell. MASH needs to be nerfed.
