Not a bad pick. I wonder what sort of Kickstarter campaign they could be launching though. They already have the rights, so if it's about improving the release I guess it's going to be mainly about a dub?

Does anyone know how long Magi The Kingdom of Magic is supposed to run? Is it getting too close to the manga that it has to stop soon, or is it far enough that it can go on for a long while? I'm really enjoying the show so far.
Welp, she already got Eiken. So I wouldn't be surprised.

Of course she let me take it off her hands. I didn't want to be rude 
I wouldnt know. Never got that far. Im inclined to agree though.

Oh my GOOOOOOOOOOD
This season will be the same length as last's most likely. After that, they will be fairly close to catching up to the manga. They will probably do another season in a year as they'll have enough material again by then, though they might be cutting it a bit close so maybe 1.5-2 years instead.
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Episode 9:
It is interesting how the dynamics can shift in a given episode, Fate managed to stand toe to toe with Nanoha, indeed probably had the edge in power but with her alliance with TSAB Nanoha now has power and resources beyond what can be managed. Basically this is another hitting of the fast forward button in regards to the Jewel Seeds. I am sure if this were a long show the hunt would have dragged out for longer but given this is only 13 episodes we got to move shit along. The upshot is that all Jewel Seeds have now been recovered by one side or the other and the TSBA now has a much fuller idea of the power of the Testarosa line.

Buying both! Just looking at their FB page too...didn't realize they had picked up Mazinger Z as well. Instabuy!
Strike the Blood 16
A little something for the foot fetishists in this one. Also, Kojo's mom. She's the perverted/doting type, and also a magical medical doctor. I like her. The bigger mystery is probably the plotline of Asagi and the girl who ran up to Kojo's mom at the start of the episode. What's her deal? Since this arc is basically welded onto the end of the last one, it feels longer than the others so far. Nice development going on.

Wait. That wasn't an actual story, was it?
Sure it is. It's fairly well known!

Sakura Trick 4
So adorably cute. Moreso Yuu than Haruka

Huh. Didn't really think of that previously, mainly because it toured UK cinemas a year or two back. Kind of less interested now, as I'm pretty luke-warm on the movie.
Oh, well, I'll see how the kickstarter is set out on Monday. Will probably shill for just the movie if MMM is the movie in question.

sogood.gif I loved it, the new opening is great and so much better than the first one.

The new song sucks and the new intro is just fanservicy and boring.
Kill la Kill - 16
Did they really had to make that scene?
Anyway, loved they showed a bit of Satsuki having problems because of Junketsu, it makes her more human. Mako is still the best thing in this anime.
Anyway. new ED is great.

I have this feeling that Satsuki will go against her mother, and liked that Ryuko stood up and decided to go against the "plan" for a change

What is this? The fourth time this season?
As long as Sakura Trick airs, that number will only increase.
Be nice. She's the love interest.

Thanks, that sounds pretty good. At least I know it'll be a while before I need to find another anime to take its place while I wait for more.

What's the origin of characters that speak in Kansai dialects when they get angry? Been watching Strike the Blood and Pet-girl and noticed that two of the characters do that, as well as some characters in other shows/manga. Which character(s) made that popular or where did it originate from?
I dunno,
Nanoha basically romancesbefriendsromanceswhatevers Fate by shooting her in the face using her staff so it's sort of a similar type of deal!
The only opinion that is right is mine. You're all just figments of my imagination anyways.
Kind of liked the manga chapters I read, though one character is bothersome.

Pretty amazing. Mako was absolutely the best I hope someone has made a gif of her nodding off.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Episode 11:
At long last Fate and Nanoha have their true final battle and it plays out like many of their past encounters that is until Nanoha pulls put some moves from the book of Monkey D. Luffy.

By that I mean Nanoha outmaneuvers Fate by changing up her move set and adding a tactic just acquired from the enemy. Good stuff there. Fate is now a prisoner of the TSAB, manacled and everything. A bad day just got worse as she learns she is nothing more then a stand in doll for the real Alica who died in a tragic accident and blah blah blah. Prescia ceased all sympathies once she engaged in the hateful and cruel abuse. Anyway, in a break from magical girl tradition not all the mcgufins were recovered by the villain as she opens a very risky door to this place called Alhazard, presumably to become the new queen of the Bugrom.
Didn't you get the memo? Fanservice is uncool now and means we can overlook everything else because it ruined a show.
I dont even like fanservice that much but....whaaaaat?
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Episode 12:
So we have reached the climax of the story with all hands on deck, including a fully turned Fate in order to stop Prescia from dooming the local dimensional sectors, which includes Earth, which is where Nanahoa has all of her stuff. Quite a bit of mook fighter here, which tries to be interesting but feels quite a bit like filler before the final encounter. Also, that was some non too subtle foreshadowing with the pit of eternal magical peril. Indeed Prescia is dispatched in a rather anti-climatic fashion. Though this was more about Fate coming to terms with herself as a quasi-free person. Granted she is free from her mother's grasp, but is still kind of criminal n the eyes of the law.

If Sakura Trick hasnt killed him dead yet I dont think KLK will bother him too much.
Everything is going exactly how I imagined.
Mobile Suit Gundam 36
Not that bad of an episode. The problem with it is, of course, Tomino's pacing and the fact that UC is bogged down by the shitty, Monster of the Week feel of Mobile Armors. That said, we did have a lot of good stuff in this episode. Bright confesses to Mirai,
Dozle's badass death
Slegger's subsequent tragic death

I felt robbed when I saw that episode.
I wanted a rage-filled final battle between Nanoha and Precia sooo badly but noooo.
Thankfully, A's makes up for that robbery.
A's makes up for every slight the show has ever committed.
looks like one of them bad otaku animes :miyazaki

An improvement, while being pure infodump it finally made the plot click on place,
New op is nice, Mako is best, and the bath scene was WTF inducing, totally gratuitous and unrelated to the rest of the series. Even if it has fanservice, it didn't have that kind of fanservice before.

Nudist people vs big clothes corporation under the influence of a super alien cloth being is a cool concept.
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Episode 13:
Well, I thought the escape from the doomed villain lair was going to eat up more then like 3 minutes of screen time, as a result most of the ending felt drawn out and dull outside of the emotional farewell between Fate and Nanoha.
Series Review:
Right, this was a decent series, at least in the second half, the first half was so bland that I probably would have dropped it without some advanced knowledge. Some people told me this broke out of the magical girl genre and that may be the case with the sequel series. Even with the addition of the irregular elements, this was still pretty ventured territory. Honestly this felt like a rather compressed season of Sailor Moon. It is watchable but not remarkable. Given the heavy hinting that the peanut gallery is offering, sequel series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's sounds like it is going to be a cut above. We shall see in due time.
