R_thanatos is voiced by Takeuchi Junko

Well , why not ?

She is not my first choice , but it could have been worse.

At least in the sea of shonen characters she voiced , she also did this :

So i'll let it go
 
Shinobu has one of the best laughs ever! Ka-ka-ka!

SO much truth .....

Strike the blood - 14

New opening is alright ..i think i like it more than the first ...
Better direction , even when i think the music was fine except the end in the first opening .

New ending is disapointing , i liked the first ending song and this one is alright ..i'm not a fan of this ending yet.

It's a carnival of warps around the city with some revelations here and there .. Dtl-guy is revealed to be someone so bored he seeks just strong fighters.

Best princess ...
Meanwhile the princess is playing the Sdburton game with bodyguard tsundere girl ( best moment of the episode )

Special award for astarte costume.
hacker girl is quite high on my best girl list , especially for how usefull she actually is in many arcs and she doesn't disapoint ... Have sweets dreams, girl

I'm pretty sure the 2 sister witches are going to die in the most painfull way possible at the end of this arc... shame , Well that's what comiket is for i guess.

Woo, great purchase sir.. you spending some serious money there.

I did it for Kamina!

Man that box looks great.

It looks much better in real life man. It's 4KG and about 30CM in size.

This is...is...

Hahaha that picture is hilarious! It is beautiful, best collectible I've ever owned.

Pretty awesome. That price would buy a lot of figurines though which is why I passed on it.

This box > any figure (s).

Hell yeah Macross Plus.

Yep, amazing show. Really like the English dub.

You're doing the lord's work.

I pulled the trigger.

I'm so weak :/

Awesome decision. Here is more of what awaits you and your coin.

Loli Conqueror 1

I think I just had a heart attack. Dat outfit mang... Well I guess I know what my show of the season is.
 
Mikakunin de Shinkoukei 02

I'm not sure what happened here. I liked the first episode, but this did nothing for me. The jokes fell flat (the alien stuff. wtf?) and the shrill loli becomes intolerable when her dialogue whiffs. The introduction of an event-from-their-past-she-doesn't-remember plot thread was just toothpaste icing on the mud cake of this episode. I don't even feel like giving it 3 episodes after that.

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha - Episode 1


Cute show. I didn't really know what it was about before, but I guess it's pleasant enough. I was hoping for something a bit more slice of life, but it seems to be more about romantic stuff. The foxes are pretty cute, but I hope they do something interesting with the transformation gimmick after this. The best gag was the videogame lol.

Samurai Flamenco - Episode 13

Oh look who's back.

I don't know where the show is going after this, but I'm totally ready for it to go into the step stage of the story. In fact, I was ready since last week. Hurry up! It's nice to see some glimpses of the people who are important to the other Flamengers, but the show really needs to get back on track with the characters we really care about. I'm getting a little impatient!

Hozuki no Reitetsu - Episode 2


Still the best new show this season I think. I really dig these humorous interpretations of a cultural afterlife, and this show is doing a pretty great job with it. In a way, this actually turned out to be the most "slice of life" show this season. I can't think of another one with such relaxed pace and just spending time on funny and sometimes random occurrences in the setting. Good stuff.
 
All hail La Folia. All hail La Folia. Best girl ever. Is she even considered to be part of Koujou's harem?

No , the honor goes to her sister ... but she is trying to ... she is really trying to.
Problem is that after that arc she will really go back to her country , so her interraction with kojou will cease for a while. BUt i have no doubt she will be a great "ally" or much much better

---------------------------
Log horizon - 15
Impressive episode as usual , minori is finally starting to become a "female" shiroe ( for the first time in tactics what a bold plan )... and to continue on that trend of
females taking innitiative , next week it'll be the time for our lazy princess to act
.

Meanwhile the stakes are higher than possible since a big event has started and nobody was ready.

Shiroe multi telepatic conference was a cool idea , adapting on the fly and thinking ahead , as expected...

You could feel the tension in the air between rundel haus & isuzu... great stuff.
Spoiler :
Actually no spoiler, you should have figured it out by now

So this episode was actually freaking awesome on all fronts i'm actually very impressed.

Log horizon , best adaptation of a LN ever ? YES
 
I see HxH is the new "it" show.

I know. I'm definetly loving all the new watchers it's getting around here. To think I was going to pick Saint Seiya Omega over that show!

Kino's Journey 13 - End

Kino's seen some shit, but I've never seen her make that face. I was going to remark that it kinda felt like things were coming full-circle, with Lilly being very similar to a young Kino. But then...that happened.

Shame there isn't more of this show. But it left enough of an impression in 13 episodes that I don't think it needed them.

Heh heh, felt the exact same way. I was kinda scared watching episode 13, I thought Kino was
going to meet the same fate as the other Kino in episode 4, but NOPE.
That reminds me, I still need to check out the OVAs.

Log Horizon ep 15

This upcoming goblin arc is getting exciting and serious with the tension getting high regarding the invasion of the goblins.

Next week is the princess again <3

Yeah, I read that. Shame.

I also read that something bad will happen to Yuma's body after she leaves Koujo's body. Guess we will stick with Himeragi, Asagi and Sayaka for a while until La Folia and Yuma return.

And I can safely assume I will not need to build an extension to just store it?
I've been posting about this for the past few days but:
1.The Ultimate Edition is not identical to the Japanese import – a lot of the extras are now restricted there and the format would have cost a lot, lot more. This one will fit on your shelf size-wise and feature different designs on the cover and digipack. We’ll post some sample pics of the type of packaging as soon as it comes in but think a solid box like old anime titles had – like the Bebop ones we used but bigger and you’d not be far off.

So I decided to actually watch some anime on my new TV instead of just action movies and Speed Racer and in honor of Corvo, the first thing I watched was the FMP Blu-rays I hadn't bothered to open up till a couple of days ago.

Based Blu Ray Melissa Mao.

I hope you didn't think I was questioning why you were watching it! I feel kind of bad just swooping in and dumping on it now that I know it was something personal for you, but the doge speak review gave the impression that you weren't exactly enjoying it yourself :lol

I won't try to shape your expectations unnecessarily for the remainder of the OVA series, but I suppose I can comment on the idea that A-Ko is less "fanservicey" than gore-porn OVAs of the era. While there is objectively less nudity and sexually explicit material in A-Ko than, say, something like Angel Cop, A-Ko is full of subtle titillation. This was, perhaps, part of its appeal at the time, and even though it has a few topless moments to ensure that purchasers got their "money's worth", just think of A-Ko's tank top pajamas, B-ko's powersuit, or how the action scenes seem always to expose petticoats or ride up seifuku tops, or the clothing damage, or the yuri undercurrents, or perhaps even the whole idea of girl-on-girl violence to some people. It's all definitely fanservice, but employed in an alternate and less obvious manner.

Truthfully part of the reason that I have a higher tolerance for putting up with crap in 80s/early 90s stuff that would make me quit a modern show is that I'm more partial to some of the common character design principles of the era. Female characters sometimes had more mature facial features with extra linework, more voluminous hair, and stockier physical proportions; males have squarer jaws and again with the hair. The warmth of the era's color palettes is comforting. You make a comparison to Mazinger and it's true that Project A-Ko shares some stylistic hallmarks commonly present in Go Nagai works like comically-ugly male characters, but both works owe most of their design principles to the larger artistic trends of the era they originate from. I'm always afraid to make sweeping generalizations about any "era" of manga/anime art because the breadth of styles in any era is too impossibly broad to claim anything, but there are certainly things I like and enjoy in A-Ko's "look" that are much less frequent in modern works.

Nah, It's cool.

I agree with you about the hair thing. Like, B-Ko's hair isn't complicated or wacky in many senses, but the curls on the side of her head and the movement of her hair in particular really make the design work. It's funny because I sort of feel that hair is an area where anime has actually improved over time. For instance, Misa Hayase's hair was much more fluid than the hair on Sayla Mass or Michiru Saotome, and moving right along when KyoAni picked up FMP Sousuke and Chidori's hair became something noteworthy.

I'm sort of half and half on where I am with Project A-Ko so far, but as I still have like, 4 more of these things to watch, I'm sure my opinions will fall into place as I go.

Well , why not ?

She is not my first choice , but it could have been worse.

At least in the sea of shonen characters she voiced , she also did this :


So i'll let it go

R_Thanatos and I are voiced by the same woman. 0.0
 
Magi : The Labyrinth of Magic - First Season

I have no idea how popular this show is here but I thoroughly enjoyed the first season.
The story moved along at a brisk pace but slowed down a bit towards the end which is understandable since it was dealing with the climax of everything that's happened so far. The unique setting of the show really worked well for it, especially since it evoked memories of Disney at least because of the environments and the involvement of a character named Aladdin.

The main trio I thought were well done in terms of how different they are. Aladdin with his Rukh magic, Alibaba with his royal swordplay which took an interesting turn towards the end when he realized after using Djinn Equip that swinging a large sword around didn't suit him at all, and Morgianna with her kick based style which is always interesting to see because characters don't seem to use that kind of style often (at least in games).

The only thing I lament going into Season 2 is that none of the new OP's so far have matched the first one at the beginning of Season 1. I've taken to skipping the OP now just because I find that I can't enjoy them enough to sit through them which is rare for me.

VanillaCakeIsBurning is voiced by Chihara Minori


I can't complain about this.
