Samurai Flamenco - Episode 18
Wow. They really went there. That was really something. It feels pretty satisfying I think. It had all the stupidity and randomness I've come to expect from the series, as well as the human elements which keep it grounded in real emotions and personalities, and now it's like... I dunno... full circle? Maybe not a circle. Maybe some four dimensional cube? I dunno. I think that would have made a relatively good final episode. But there are still 4 episodes left?! What else does this show have installed for us?

I actually would prefer a KyoAni version of Cop Craft over FMP right now. Too bad neither is going to happen.
Are the SRWs non-Nippon friendly?
As somebody already pointed out, I'm sceptical about Okada doing the adaptation because there seems to be a general feeling that her adaptations are much better than her original stories. (I like both, of course, but eh.)
Let's see what I can come up with here...
Studio- Gonzo x NeoGainax
Added filters by- GoHands
Series director- Yutaka Yamamoto ("I've always been a fan of GoHands' work. Their shows look so distinctive I brought them in specially to put the final touches on our episodes. I think you'll agree the result is really eye-catching.")
Director- Yasuomi Umetsu (bringing in Junichi Hayama for the more down-to-earth episodes)
Original concept- Reki Kawahara ("I always wanted to write a serious romance where everyone pilots mechs. If you fall in love in the mech, you fall in love in real life!")
Original story- Mari Okada ("You will believe a giant robot can cry.")
Adaptation- Hiroyuki Yoshino
Character designs- Yasuomi Umetsu
Art direction- I don't even know the difference between all these director roles. What's an art director?
OST- Hiroyuki Sawano
OP- Jinn
ED- Ali Project
Mechs- CG
Episode previews&titles- Toei (Yes, they got in Toei specifically to ruin the episode previews.)
Episodes- 10 (thanks, Kadokawa! It's probably a mercy in this case, though.)
I'm guessing the Milky Holmes girls get more screentime in this than they did in Futari wa Milky Holmes, then?
Oh come on MAL, that's inconsistent romanisation within a single title. Ignoring the long vowel in "Teio(u)" but including it in "Kyu(u)ketsuki"? Really?
Based Masumi Itou is incredibly based <3 (I do love the Jinrui OP as well, though.)
That's amazing =D
Heartcatch Precure! 16
Drama club drama! Lots of Erika being Erika in this episode so I can't complain. Also it looks like the little sister from episode 14 is hanging out with the Fashion Club and playing with the mascots now, and that's amazing.

You guys hate Sawano too much. He has made some outstanding tracks. Maybe OST's as a whole are lacking.
Samurai Flamenco - Episode 18
What else does this show have installed for us?
The reveal of Goto's girlfriend.
It's gonna be Harakiri Sunshine.
I can feel it.
He makes good compositions. I feel like his music is usually matched to shows that don't mesh well with his style which gives off those negative feelings.

She will be the next villain, getting in the way of Goto and Masayoshi bromance. Girlfriend Flamenco.

Same reason the Vanguard lot decided to show up in BuddyFight. They are all owned by Bushiroad.
Depends what you want to get out of it. If you just want to see robots from series you know beat the crap out of each other, its pretty easy as long as you put some work in to recognize the commands. If you ostensibly want story and stuff, no. The amount of text is comparable to a mini-VN.
Basically the person in charge of background art.
Outstanding in making my ears bleed perhaps.

They're pretty easy to figure out once you get a feel for the commands ("Move, attack, etc.")
I spent a little time on the wiki (that has a translation for most of the menus) and before I knew it I figured out how to move, attack, what most of the skills do, etc.
Well, SRWZ2 is anyway, that's the only one I played.

Damn , now i've got to watch samurai flamenco too !
Yeah Ryuukos hair is pretty amazing. That red stripe is so great.
NNB just makes the heart feel better. It is very similar to Usagi Drop in that regard.
I was planning on getting caught up on SF yesterday but ended up doing a marathon of Shippuuden instead.
Awesome!
You can enjoy the gameplay fully with the help of community that translating menu and such, and its fairly simple to navigate the command just with intuition.
For the story though, you not gonna understand shit of it except for the familiar event that you watch from anime of each representative, and the summary from player that can read moonrunes.
Chunnibyou S2 ep 8
Kyoani should totally do a Yuri show.
WHAT IS THIS?! HOHOHOOOOOOLY SHIT!!

A Yuri moment in what is apparently a mostly not-Yuri show.
That being said, you'll probably still watch it anyway because of that lol.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
If we're being realistic here, it's probably
sexual assault
(Seriously, that scene DID feel a little uncomfortable.)

bad gameplay lol
Oh my god, ahahaha.

Get some yuri goggles! Chuu2 is full of subtext.
I know what show it is, I'm asking about the scene itself. :lol
My NibuxDeko OTP has come to be? Best day ever!

well i'm still angry after episode 4 so i haven't watched the rest yet ...
That reset is UNFORGIVABLE ...
But if this gif is in context i might just watch the remaining episodes.
This S2 is surprisingly good and consistent too.
I can pretty much guarantee you will enjoy this latest episode. And yeah, the rest of the season has been pretty good too, both on the NibuxDeko side of things and otherwise.

Inari , kon kon Koi iroha - 07
Fushimi , why are you such a pure girl ?
I mean you're so pure that your display of selfishness ( that are in every human ) are affecting you so much that it's making me annoyed
Other than that , nice episode
Kudos to sumizone , that angry expression was priceless.

How does a show with no character development save anime?

Slapping the "show that will save anime" label on anything is pretty much the kiss of death.

It gave anime a Hyper Potion no doubt, but it certainly wasn't a Full Restore.
Do you guys ever get tired of acting like this?

Nah. It only gave it a MooMoo Milk at best.
The hype. I have all of it.
This is going to save anime.
(And then Part 4 is going to cause anime to achieve godhood.)

Sakura Trick 8
A wonderful episode starting with a wedding and ending with closeness at Christmas. Mitsuki was wonderful in her awkward plan to guide Yuu and Haruka together.

It's basically the only thing left, I think. I mean the manga is done. The novels are done. It appearing in SRWZ3 is a gosh darn miracle to begin with. If we can't get a new season I just hope that Z3-2 will give me the plot of Sigma as best it can so I can bask in the glory of the Laevatein.
I approve!
Can't complain about that. The only thing that would please me more is Suzuki Tatsuhisa.
Are these actor/actress awards for any specific roles, though? The distinction between "Lead" and "Supporting" would imply that they are, but they don't list the actual shows, so... =/
(Of course, given who was picked for three out of the main four, I guess we should just assume Attack on Titan unless proven otherwise >.>)
