Well, F/SN is a game! #seewhatididthere
You talking about Shiro right?

What inane ideal in Zero doesn't go challenged? I don't think anyone's views survive that show without getting crushed brutally.

Ao no Exorcist: The Official Movie of the Show
Even with all the good things I had heard, that was a lot better than I had really expected.
Despite knowing little-to-nothing about the show itself, the movie is easy enough to follow. Rin is your classic shonen protagonist: the product of a mysterious birth giving him mysterious powers, prone to goofing off, with a superhero's sense of justice. His younger brother is straight-laced and responsible, and he's got a cast of buddies. But they're less important than the child-like demon he finds after a mission gone wrong. Saddled with the responsibility of taking care of it until it can be properly disposed of, they quickly become friends. However, there was a reason the demon had been kept sealed...
The movie majorly succeeds in two areas. The first, and most obvious, is the visual design. True Cross is a marvelous setting, a slapdash hodgepodge of influences from all over the world. Hong Kong neon excess sits alongside flying buttresses and modern-era American skyscrapers, near ruins of Greek columns and old Japanese graves. Throw in a distinctly Eastern festival celebration on top of it, and you'd think it'd seem a busy, incoherent mess. Somehow, it all makes sense. The city feels timeless, and full of personality. When it's put at stake in the film's endgame, you don't want to lose it.
The second success is the emotional core of the story, the relationship between Rin and the demon who comes to be known as Usamaro. The fast bond between the two seems natural, bolstered by a few touching montages over a nice piano theme. Perhaps it's an obvious way of driving the point home, but I had no problem attaching myself to Usamaro's childlike innocence, which is essential for the theme of the movie to actually work in the end. You believe that they both want each other to be happy.
And that's all you really need to have a good story. There are some strong action moments (I particularly liked the animation on the Phantom Train demon as it tried to flee), and a big goofy cast of people I didn't have strong feelings towards, but the main players grabbed me, so I cared how things turned out. It's no Wolf Children, but it's better than any other anime film I saw that reached home video in 2013.

I'm gonna include some screens of sexy backgrounds showing the diverse vibe of the city of True Cross.

Dammit. First Hisoka gets the support treatment in J-Stars now Kino gets it over Tomoka?!?
Oh you.
In about two episodes or so. You're about to be introduced to one of the most creative and interesting superpower system in a Shounen world I've ever seen.

Makopi at least got a farewell message, that message make no sense and is explained by the power of magic but that's better than nothing ..she can cry and live on, instead of crying being undecided whose part of the princess heart to follow.DokiDoki! Precure - 48-49 [END]
I was going to make a lengthy post about my thoughts regarding this show, but I'm too upset to fucking care.
Heartcatch>Smile>DokiDoki>Fresh>Suite>Futari wa>Max Heart
Have yet to see Splash Star and the other remaining ones. Now to drown myself in ice cream to perk me up.
Based MakoPi putting up with so much shit only to have the love of her life fade before her for a second time... god fucking dammit.
No it's worse than that , now she can bring ai , to be the state she wants by making her grow to be the woman she wants , it's princess maker !
Joe gonna have a though work ahead of him , with glorious rewards!!
( Anyone who has played princess maker know this ! )
?? yuri ??LOL you two.

Go Go! 575 - 01
This soothes my heart.
Added to backlog*
i smell so many retcons.
Would be a nice twist for trolling , but they will find a way to make her back by the end of the cour
Damn missed opportunity ! Imagine all the skills kaga would have , slapping opponents in the face with a rose bouquet.
There was a time when i could say the same about THE RIE.
several people told me that Vn aren't games in the gaming division , who should i trust ?
Gaming side has proven many times that they really dont know shit.

So my school's anime club had an anime sampler last night so I saw five different first episodes
Michiko and Hatchin 1
Well the first episode had me hate everybody but Hana and maybe the escapee mom. The family and everyone there was so corrupt. It juxtaposes with Hana very well. I guess this takes place in somewhere like Mexico with all these Latin first names. I would definitely like to see more of this
DN Angel 1
This show was pretty damn bad, it was funny. the main character is supposed to be clumsy but he can apparently do cartwheels when falling. He got shot down before he had the chance because the girl he liked liked tall guys. Then, pushing buttons equals hacking, Then, his family supporting theft. The little animal can transform into wings. And it ends with him saying that he's not a suspicious person when he came up behind a girl and covers her mouth before kissing her.
Eden of the East 1
This show is quite interesting. The interactions between the two were quite entertaining and this saviors thing looks to be very interesting. That ending shot of Japan in flames is quite the tone shift.
Boogiepop Phantom 1
This made very little sense to me and reminded me a lot of Serial Experiments Lain. A lot of this made little sense. Sort of interesting but I can't really follow the plot too well on this.
Planetes 1
Cute sort of slice of life space story. The characters seem interesting and looks to touch at least a bit on political stuff and morals. I'll probably watch on my own if it doesn't get chosen

Huh so that FSN remake might actually be good.
I still refuse to believe.

It came at a time when we needed it the most. Truly the savior of anime.
I feel like I got Yami'ed. ;_;
Busting your ass to save your love is pointless!!!
And shortly followed by Non non Biyori.
soulful cute anime lives on. May it never die.
Diebuster - 01 (rewatch)
Back then when GAINAX making good anime.. Dat Dix-neuf.
I always impressed by eps 1 of Diebuster, its pretty spectacular opening episode.. pretty explosive with dem sakuga (I don't remember this many of CGI though, yuck)
and make you like nono instantly. But unfortunately back then I think the rest of episode wasn't this good, let see if this rewatch change that opinion.

Zero is better by default because of the lack of Shirou.

The Workshop witches are ridiculously overpowered. The giant bear and bunny fight was kind of funny and reminds me of this week's Tonari no Seki-kun

Dayum, nono throwing ether left and right..
Pretty good episode, now I can appreciate the drama.. its felt so sudden at first, but they manage to flesh it quick and impactful.
Movie 6?
Hell no, I'm not that big for that episode but that have perfectly fine structure.. Movie 1 is easily worse and that one directed by Ei Aoki. And I don't think fan regard it as worst episode at all, many just indifferent to it because its hold little significance to the plot and look like "filler" but the movie itself is technically sound.
Beside that though.. as F/Z shown, many of more their talented staff have equal role and got spread in various eps, i think choosing their internal crew as "head director" just indicating they're confident enough to continuing that for another TV anime production and expanding the internal team work even further.

It's crazy how in one fell swoop Urobuchi turned Madoka into
Code Geass. I mean seriously. Homura is now Lelouch and Sayaka is now Suzaku!

Another two parter with Junko, guess it makes sense for her episodes to be two parters because her cans are too big to fit into only one episode. Guardian seems like a cool threat hopefully next episode is a big battle.

It was pointed out that the ending was not Urobuchi's idea. Which is probably why it's so amazing.

Looks like I'll be in for Chunibyo and To Love Ru...probably.
But Madoka Movie 3 was the best part of the franchise so far!

Looks like Pieter Bruegel's wet dream. I never suspected the movie had such a splendid art direction, will watch ASAP. Thanks !
Diebuster - 4(rewatch)
Meh.. I don't like this episode, this is the one that the hyped one isn't it?
The pacing is weird, sloppy screenplay.. no intensity, everything just feel so flat in the supposed tense moment. really disappointing. Its like they try to pull "beast" episode from Eva and fail miserably.
This is the first time I came out more negative to the episode in this rewatch.

I don't know yet! The 2nd to last issue things looked pretty damn grim for their relationship.
Yeah, but Another focuses on a different character than Sousuke or Kaname.

As a Hakkenden fan Im so glad its getting a BD release and an english dub.
Kind of shocking that it was apparently more well receiving than Chuunibiyou that Chuunibiyou wont be getting an engDub.

I agree with Kon, there wasn't much for our main cast this week. Not a lot of Harutora or Natsume or Suzuka or Kyoko or... Though the world outside the main cast continues to have plenty of its own interesting ideals. I am curious what exactly the purpose of the Twin Horn Syndicate was.

I'm cheating and putting all my shows as number 1.
