I think the plot device is being exaggerated here. They never out-and-out say "Oh Takuto can't lose." I mean, during the entire West Maiden arc there's no reason to believe that since we saw that the North Maiden was free to leave and live a perfectly normal life and the villains were not yet at World Domination phase. Heck, even at this late stage in the show I'm not really getting that, since we've seen two Maidens walk away just fine.

Not sure how I feel about this whole cards becoming real weapons and we duke it out with streams in the sky.

That pic is too lewd, ban this sick filth.
The Puchimas!! S2 site updated, revealing some musical info.
We're getting a series of duet CDs, the Twelve*Campaigns this time around. Yayoi/Iori, Takane/Hibiki, Ritsuko/Haruka, Chihaya/Makoto, Yukiho/Miki, and Ami/Mami/Azusa.
The three ED themes have the theme of morning (Good Morning○Sunshine/オハヨ○サンシャイン, noon (Hello*Lunchtime) and night (Goodnight☆Stars). First one is by Yayoi, Iori, Hibiki and the twins. Second one is Ritsuko, Mako, Haruka and Chihaya. Third is Azusa, Takane, Yukiho and Miki.
All of this has been so I can say the first video's bonus disc is a character song for the Producer. I want to listen to this already.
Waaaat. Should've been a Haruka/Chihaya duet goddammit!
Theres an episode in there where Hideki has to buy panties. Its special.
Remember though, this is the Puchimas universe. I don't remember that pairing really being a thing there, though I could be wrong. Yayoi/Iori sure is in both universes, though, and at least they got that right.

Man, the prick literally got owned way too easily. I'm kinda surprised our main character was even that good anyway.

Gintama: The Final Chapter - Eien no Tomodachi - Be Forever Odd Jobs
Nice to see Shinpachi being badass one last time, odd to see Kagura acting as if
Kind of wish I could've started Gintama sooner to give this movie a shot in the polls, but alas.
Rather surprised that the beginning segment was actually relevant to the movie as a whole.
Man writing this is difficult.
It achieved the spirit of Gintama for the most part, given that comedy was still there. Loved that end segment
Actually... it made everyone cool... Okay not everyone, and by that, I mean Catherine, but who cares? Everyone looked awesome. That alone made it a great send off to the Gintama crew, and that's what matters the most. Although..... I'm still not fond of when the camera is panning across a battlefield like at the beginning. Not use to it Sunrise. I wasn't too fond of it with One Piece Film Z (even though you weren't responsible for the movie, Toei was), but it's still weird.
I guess.... ..... I guess that's everything I needed to see of the Gintama anime.... anything else is bonus (unless it's a continuation, then yes please). Thank you for the 16 days.

The future wasn't that bad, I mean... we got Katsura to finally merge with the Shinsengumi right??
Although, everyone was so hollow, because Gin left his waifus and teammates. All because he came down with a disease that was destined to kill everyone. RIP

where everyone started to disappear. LOL Hasegawa was the only one with bad intentions. Katsura being high and mighty before being arrested. The sequence with the Odd Jobs. A moment in where Shinpachi being the glasses was hilarious. All of that was good stuff.

Buddy Complex Episode 8
The truth behind coupling puts this into my favorite five mechas.
Fromm teasing Dio about it as well.
Plot was fairly standard stuff seen all over the place, though with Aoba it did make it feel more friendlier, sentimental, and lighthearted then usual. I enjoyed it.
I like the show quite a bit. It's no Gundam SEED though...

Oh lord.
So much anime, so little time.
Time to start up Hamatora...
Edit: Anyone else watching CR on PS4? If so does a show randomly stutter a lot? Because that is what it's doing on mine....

No it's the real me still, let me prove it:
Nobunaga the Fool 8
At this point I just want to know how awful this show can look. Like by rights this should've been a cool fight but man this CGI is so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
D-Frag 8 / Seitokai Yakuindomo* 8 - Both pretty good. The latter continuing with its lewdness and fourth wall breakage. The former I was so happy with...getting a pure Kenji/Takao episode, which is probably my favourite aspect of the show.
Tokyo Ravens 20 - Nice. So much revealed. Maybe they will do it after all. Naaaaaah.

I want my own sensei :''''(
I'm kinda surprised you didn't guess this earlier. I thought it was fairly obvious way before hand.
Both having red hair and identical mechs was the big indicator for me.

Been a long time since an anime hooked me in one episode. It has an interesting concept and all the characters names are easy to remember.
Nice is a badass. All the Millinium Holders are. It has just the right mix of comedy and action. The only thing that bothered me was when words or images would flash on screen and I would barely make out what it said. It would throw me off. It's fast paced so it requires your full attention when watching. (kind of like KLK in how quickly things would move) Thought it was interesting how they didn't shy away from the scene where the guys
And the cliffhanger at the end definitely hooked me on the shows promise and premise. So yeah I am hooked to this show. And honestly, I think this might be (just from one episode viewing) one of the more underrated anime this season.

Just catching up with the thread.
If this was your wish, you got screwed. But now you need to post selfies in your magical girl outfit.
May god have mercy on your soul.
YEEEES

Wow, that was actually really well done...
I know this probably isn't going to stick based on the nature of the series, but if it did, damn is that way more heavy than anything else in the show.

Hearing Harutora screaming for Natsume in the background as she had a dying dream was damn effective, as was the music and directing.

Subete no aware
For anyone curious, and I don't know why, but the Chuu2 movie has about 15 minutes of a wacky dream sequence that is new footage at the beginning and about 5-10 minutes of new footage at the end setting up the premise of season 2.
Oh yes, she's Morishima-sempai/Koooookooooo/Hinagiku, of course. Destined to lose, based on the last one!

Hamatora 2
After a great first episode this one was kinda so-so. Was still interesting to watch and revealed new info about how not
. Other than that nothing too exciting happened. Which was a shame. Still the animation was great. Hopefully episode 3 will be a lot better and bring that "cool" factor that episode 1 oozed of.

all Milinium holders are created equal which also helped flesh out exactly what the serial killer is doing in the show
Well, everyone's entitled to their opinions. The only thing I'll say is that I watched this show a couple of months ago, and remember little about it.

Shiki 3
Things are starting to get a bit creepy now, especially after Masao is introduced.
Yeah. Pretty tragic episode that.
I watched it when it was first released and several times since lol. its not Clamps worst effort.
Pretty sure Tenchi OVA3 was the one that did it for me.
It really did ruin everything.
Legend of the Overfiend did that for me. Chobits I just found mediocre...at least what I saw of it.
Not that I really needed to be taught...ever medium can be horrible, and 90% of everything is crap, etc.
But it had the original creator and director!
*sobs*
Slayers Revolution was the same, but the bar wasn't as high.

Nice to know, I prefer Jariten because it's longer but I didn't know about the insult.
Evolution-R makes up for it, though.
A pair of short PVs just posted for upcoming Spring series One Week Friends, one narrated by each of the main characters:

Looks quite pretty.

How was it horrible? It wasnt ground breaking but it wasnt horrible either. It made sense, had good characters, a fair bit of drama, good music, cute art, clampness. It was pretty decent.
Evolution-R dug in deeper with the retcons. :/
Inane story about a man and his love doll that can talk like a pokemon.
I imagine some of it is the ickiness of the concept for some people. Ditto derivative stuff like Dears...which oddly I watched even after giving up on Chobits.
Though its interesting subject worth exploring...the whole relationship between man and human like robots.
Lack of Hiroki Hayashi, probably.Where did it all go so wrong?
Oh, for sure, just how it was done in Chobits was bad.
Sure. Time of Eve was much better for instance imo.
Its fine if you didnt like the subject matter. Didnt make it bad.
Does it really?
Him finding her power switch in her labia set the tone for that show.
Well, pretty for what it is, at least. More in atmosphere than actual pure artistic complexity.
That was just funny. Seriously theres terrible shows but chobits wasnt one. DearS on the other hand was. Youd be perfectly alright branding that show awful.
Possibly, but that seems like too simple an answer. The cataclysmic disaster that was OVA3 required a lot more things to go completely wrong than merely the absence of one guy.
Also for posterity's sake, to put it into perspective, take my long-standing vendetta against K-On, combine it with Branduil's long-standing crusade against Angel Beats, multiply the result by a factor of 5, and that'll come close to representing how disappointed I was in OVA3. My posts about it date back to at least 2009, I just checked!
