All I care about is laughing a Shituga's pain, misery, and crumbling heart.
She's lucky I found Katejina Loos and Hikaru Ichijo, so I cannot claim she is my most hated character in anime anymore.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
I feel we need to see and bask in this .gif again.
I'm really looking forward to this brown dude's intro in Gintama.
Me too. He looks rad.

This show is surprisingly entertaining (except for the typical useless male protag. and the uninspired character designs.) Awesome ED though
Karaoke witch party is the best kind of party!

Well at least you finally realized it Kasuga.
Also, ballistic missiles fired at waifu culture. Of course it probably also doesn't help that he's a Ken doll.

Best Girls let it age, like good wine.
subtle as a punch in the head Corvy kun.
Eccentricities.
I wanted to watch Utena tonight.
Gaming side is too much. It's like a real life version of The Departed.
Gaming side is the bane of existence. That might be too pleasant of a term.
Just the way my muvver taught me!

Well, all you get if you let it age too long are delicious, salty tears.
While the vast majority of us are still waiting for the next episode of Chuunibyou Ren to be released via simulcast, at least we still have the third Lite episode to tide us over with another amusing flashback to Rikka's middle school days.

The finest of brews. The secret to best-girl-stanning is that watching them lose is the whole point of it.
They need more screen time dammit!

Then you mean "best" and not best!
Kanna is far too good to be mc fodder. She has a better future ahead.
Best regards to mother raven

I loved that episode. Or was it 10? I don't remember now.

Are you telling me that I shouldn't react to all situations by twitching and sweating profusely while occasionally squealing?
Corvo, I think the ep you're thinking of is 10.
Actual best.
I'm assuming they excluded her from the discussion because that is so obviously self-evident that there's no point in even bringing it up.

I'll go along with this.
That must be it. I loved that episode.
This rules out all of the girls in Final Fantasy 6.
Persona 4 TAS 3
You know, if it wasn't for the wonky faces, this entire anime would be pretty kick ass.
I will find you.
And when I do, me and all of my nakama on #teamkanna will rain destruction upon you and your kin.

The Wonderful 101
Feels like an audition to let PlatinumGames make a Star Fox game. I rather they don't at this point. Some arcs feel rather padded, no thanks to SHMUP segments, on top of oddly placed parts. Frankly, it should've axed a great majority of SHMUP segments. Perhaps Metal Gear Rising benefited more than I expected from being rushed.
Simple shapes seem best to utilize, because later shapes start to become rather similar to other Unite shapes, although there's still the attempt to make you utilize other weapons. Takes a bit long to grasp the concept of it, but once you do, you'll be hooked. Oddly enough, I wish there was more combat segments. It's like... I grasp the concept, but I don't feel like I was able to utilize a lot of it at once because it was gearing up for the end. Replays though, exist... although the large amount of SHMUP segments will be my undoing.
Enjoyed the sound track, I can also see elements of this game initially being considered a "Nintendo All Stars" game, and man, mastering the system actually made the game close to what I imagined in terms of capabilities. This... really is the longest character action game I sat though (23 hours+). Again, I think it would benefit from axing most SHMUP missions.
Now then. Anime that has things that you wish they had less of, GO!

Nah, Relm is clearly the best by that criteria.
So this is one of the major episodes in the series that I've been wanting to see. Time to get down to it:
Star Driver 8-rewatch
This is a fucking fantastic episode. It reminds me a lot of Gundam Build Fighter's 15th episode only with a shitload more anger. So damn good. These climax episodes are phenomenal.
. It's a cool trick as they use the perspective of the physically caged person to represent the emotionally caged one. The audience also starts to get a notion of Head being somewhat whimsical as well. The story itself is a tragic one that sets up the tone for the rest of the episode.
Normally Zero Time is pretty flat weather wise other than Episode 4. This is the first time we see the mechs fight in the rain and the overlay is this sort of depressing atmosphere but the emotions of both parties is pretty hot. Then there is the mech fight. This feels like the climax of the past 8 episodes and while it's really gorgeous stuff, it's really the emotions that makes it so awesome. Both are flat out pissed at each and just going at it. However underneath that, the audience can still get a clear sense of the two becoming friends despite punching each other. It's a true case of friendship through fighting and despite the two still being mad at each other at the end, they've come to an understanding.
The scene at the end with them on the cliff is nothing but them panting but I really liked it for atmosphere purposes as it shows them alternate breathing and it's a good way of cooling down. The show is showing them going back to normal despite fighting each other, only now they have a deeper understanding of each other.
Really great episode, a lot of emotions are laid bare. Better than I remembered and I remember loving this episode the first time I watched it.
Star Driver 8-rewatch

So the episode starts with the finishing up of Sam the Squid Killer. There's a lot of hinting towards Head's backstory and his own regrets that become critical to the series down the road. There's some camera angles inside the cage that hint towards how
Head is caged in his own past and his regrets
The next scene up is Wako being shunned by Sugata. Taketo is still wondering whether he's really involved in this and whether he should bother but everyone around points out that he's stuck in that mess too and he agrees. It's part of his own internal shift that develops over the course of the series so far and it builds up to the fist fight later.
Ton of foreshadowing in this scene.I think this is the only or at least one of the few times all the maidens are together. It's a good way of highlighting the differences in their personalities though and also showing some sort of bond between them.
We then get the awesome scene on the cliffside. This is framed really well and the content Takuto and Sugata aim at each other is both really accurate and somewhat spiteful. They both accuse each other of holding back their real personality and feelings. Something I like about this is how the two haven't worn masks unlike the Glittering Crux brigade but they're still hiding who they are. There have been glimpses of their true selves earlier in the series, mainly with Takuto, but here it's laid out bare. Sugata doesn't give a shit about Takuto and he accuses Takuto of only pretending to care, which is somewhat correct. The setting at sunset really adds to the emotions of both. They're about to start a fist fight until Zero Time kicks in.

Heh. Even I can see that this is bad. I don't usually notice
Yes. The show is pretty good.
Might add to backlog.
Mikakunin 1-3
That was pretty good, Benio and Mashiro makes this show enjoyable.
Oh, yeah. Forgot to add this to backlog. Added now.
And wasn't the best girl of Shuffle green haired?
Yep.
The two I have issues with are Rider and Berserker. Rider just has her tits all over the place and her design looks too 'smooth'. Berserker's face just has this 'uh I don't know whats going on guys' look to it. Not angry enough.
Maybe that's exactly how he feels in that instant!
