Thought this was going to be a fully fledged comic relief episode after the seriousness of the episodes follow it but that didn't seem to be the case entirely.

With Aomine teach Kuroko how to shoot now and Kagami learning a new technique from Alex means some shenanigans are coming I can imagine. Never fails to make me laugh the stuff they pull out of their ass when they really need it. With two more of the Generation of Miracles to defeat I think this process is going to happen again too.
Yeah agreed, been listening to it throughout the day. Took a special liking to this one. Doesn't fuel my feels like the rest.

Wow, the art quality really sunk for this episode. Not Samurai Flamenco ugly, but eugh.
3 rounds in one episode... we're definitely speeding through the fight at this rate.

This gorgeous, gorgeous movie gave me depression. Thanks Shinkai. ;_;
Fucking trains man
Its veyr depressing to think of how many friends you've lost contact over the years especially the ones that you were close with in your younger years. Good think I have facebook lol.

Just saw the episode , it was indeed great and the anime ( again ) perfectly animated the source material ..it's almost scary how spot-on they are ..trully magnificent work
I loved the music when
the contract was being signed
As for shiroe being awesome, well this arc was the only one where shiroe wasn't a main actor of the plot ...so yeah .. the main character goes back being in the front.
And the preview was quite misleading lol ... is that an ..extra chapter ? (they even have time to adapt this stuff ? ) ...Excellent
Also , crusty was smilling ... oh yeah he was smilling

I assume you only follow the anime so I'm sure Alex's intoduction was quite abrupt for you haha. But I've gotta say she's one of my favorite characters in the series and I respect her for all she's accomplished. That said, I've been contemplating about the drop in popularity from season one to season two and I wonder if it's due to people who started reading the manga after season one. Now, nothing is a surprise to that part of the audience so maybe people are less hyped for the second season? That and
the Winter Cup still not being over

Pretty good, though mostly a setup episode for next week, which is when shit will likely go down. Or not. Hard to tell with this show.

Roboko in schoolgirl mode is adorable, though
Might be Manga spoilers.
I wonder if it's because of
no Kise. He is not going to have a game during this season if they are planning to stop after the next game
Also maybe the fujoshi moved on to Free.

Lol. Okay yeah this show has it's hooks in me. Really loving all the characters in this show. Oddly enough
The only real irk I have with the show is Hakuya. He's a nice guy and all and I like
but it bugs me how much of a non-character he is. I wish the show developed more more of a personality for him. Maybe he's just someone for the viewer to project themselves on but it still bugs me.
Also dat revelation at the end about
was pretty predictable. It was also pretty predictable that
. However the way it has played out I am interested how this plays out in the next episode or two. It might be a chance for the writers to flesh out Hakuya a bit more. We'll see.

the talk of western food makes me really want to try the food Kobeni makes. It just looks tasty.

how protective he is of Kobeni
Also dat revelation at the end about
how Hakuya and Kobeni were childhood friends and both of them got injured
Kobeni would blame herself but that's her character archetype

The usage of dreams within dreams can't quite match Rick and Morty's, but that was an entertaining look at the school's clubs. And not all the gags were fanservicey either, I was amused by the paperwork one with the soccer club. Though the play did take up a fair bit of time. The show's charms must be working on me.

I'm pretty sure
Crusty will eventually become an antagonist, that smile of his is too insane
And if Shiroe becomes a bigger player, that's even better. He shines more when everybody is riding his dick, because he's so smart.
On a different note o I'm not crazy right? The person that sings this also sounds like the person who sings this? They might not be the same person but the voice reminds me too much.

About Alex or about the Winter Cup? If I should block out more I'll definitely go back and edit it.
Ah, didn't consider Free to be a possible reason for the drop. Figured since the shows don't air during the same season, I thought Kuroko would be safe from a drop in sales. Didn't consider just overall interest shifting to a newer series.
I don't think you'll be disappointed by the upcoming episodes.

Oh boy, a two-parter! And it's a storyline that has potential for interesting actual plot advancement rather than just silly antics! And an excuse to see more of Kate in civilian form! (albeit not in her usual adorable dress...) I'd be amused that she manages to transfer into a middle-school with her...stature...and still carrying her bunny everywhere, but uh, the robot standing next to her kind of puts that in perspective >.>
It's fun to see Renge finally getting to meet the Zvezda folk. As expected, they get along really nicely, thus adding to the whole dual-identity tension. Now let's just hope mksm knpk's plan doesn't go quite as expected.
Your post is fine.
I'm talking more about one of the most popular players not appearing in the 2nd season and maybe it turns some fans off.

So it turns out the reason Nibutani joined the club was

So it turns out the reason Nibutani joined the club was
to retrieve the Mabinogion, which SHE WROTE
And this ties into a greater language pun that I just love.
LOL are you serious? How can anyone read that garbage.

There is no doubt that crusty
is headed to ward anice path with him being aware that he is missing something and that face when he fights BUT with a princess watching him i'm pretty sure he'll be alright .... not to mention crusty Vice commander that might or might not be a key factor...
it's zvevda technology ! and onmyou technology !
Don't you mock arts crafted after decades or hard work ?
it trully feels like the plot is moving this time.
everyone going in the school was a bold move but i hope this is just for this set of episode ... i'll be disapointed if the focus become the school and not the entire district

Infinite Stratos syndrome. People are hoping that development will eventually happen. But it wont.
The manga was enjoyable for the funny art. Now it's shit.

The ichigo 100% syndrome.

I guess it's fair to say that not all girls have the same tastes. lol
It's just too bad the ones that spend money on anime are the ones who like the boys to kiss each other. The other ones are busy lusting over real boys, like Bieber!
Reaction faces, waifus, + it's funny.

Motto! Ojamajo Doremi - Episodes 31-40
In the process of marathoning Motto!, only 10 episodes and the movie to go! A few highlights from the last 10:
Episode 32 had Momoko trying to be a mama to Hana like the rest of the Ojamajo. Of course she did the same thing I'd probably do if faced with a situation like that,
Although that's not the only thing you need to be a parent. It was a really sweet episode and made me like Momoko even more.
Episode 38 was the best episode so far this series and if I'm right

read up on it and do your research.

have another episode to do with it later on. That ending although it was a conclusion wasn't the ideal solution in solving Nagato's problem. Although at least now she can go to school abeit not in the actual classroom which was great to see after all the encouragement that Doremi had been giving her.

Speaking of Chuunibyou, I already know a little bit about the second season, and I have to say
I'm actually happy I got spoiled. Too many shows end with the main characters finally getting together. We never get to see anything beyond that. So I'm glad to know that Chuni S2 breaks that trend a bit and shows us Rikka and Yuuta's relationship. Also the fact that they get together isn't even a spoiler because like so many other romcoms, it's spoiled right there in the OP.

Ah that's a relief. I'm always worried about accidentally spoiling someone.
Yeah I could see some people not finishing season 2 if they knew their favorite character/team wasn't going to play all season. Once I didn't see Haizaki in the opening I figured Kaijou would have to wait until next season. I can't see them not making a season 3 but man I still wonder how they'll handle the Teikou arc as the fans didn't exactly enjoy that iirc.
I guess it must become a comedy at some point after I dropped it.

I don't know if I ever said this but I really get a kick out of the OP and ED for this show. I always find it charming and funny.
Anyways another good episode. Much more serious this time around than with previous episodes. Left off on a cliffhanger which is always an indicator something huge-ish is about to happen.
Also I am getting a lot of
Should be fun to find out what is going on.

Also I am getting a lot of
supernatural vibes from Hakuya and his sister now. As a matter of fact so many hints are being dropped it's hard not to notice. It's clear this family isn't exactly what they say they are. I am thinking werewolf but there's not enough evidence yet however something is definitely boiling under the surface. Kobeni even says as much she remembers something like a big dog (she said something "warm" but it clearly showed her grabbing fur while on the ground) "back then".

It becomes a comedy of watching the characters largely make the same anti-progress decisions that plague most romcoms, yes.

This is the best advice anyone could ever give.
Calling them characters is an insult to the term. Nisekoi doesn't have characters; they are but puppets dancing on a string, covered in a Frankensteinian patchwork of putrefied flesh pilfered from the graves of anime long passed. It's the writing equivalent of Buffalo Bill.

While that is certainly somewhat true that's just the anime rom-com genre for you. It hasn't really advanced in the last 30 years and very few works show any interest in 'shaking up' the established formula/character types. And why would you, the longer it goes on the more money you can make. That's not to excuse it or anything, but I don't really blame the show for it either.

Somebody should do an IS and Nisekoi crossover. Where they discuss why it seems like they're the only two interesting men in the planet.
R_thanatos

That's true which is why I'll continue to show no interest in the genre besides to spit on it, or to watch the extremely rare one which somehow becomes acceptable like Toradora.
