You would probably be one of the few who prefers StrikerS over A's.

I will see this before I can play the damn game.
The first episode is a mess.
The show is more about the relationship of Jun with Shinku and less about the Alice's game, but that plays its role too. Dunno, keep watching, the best is yet to come. You can always drop the last arc if you get tired about the dolls.
Think of it this way - Utena doesn't win the duels, her opponents lose them.
I'm sold on this game.
Me too, what is this?
It'll be worth the wait, though I definitely have the itch to get back into it.
Hopefully you are able to wail on Kirito with Lisbeth brandishing some sort of weapon. Probably not.

Ace of the Diamond 17
I really like how the MC still can't strike anybody out. He's completely susceptible to getting fucked over by BABIP and it shows in this episode. What kind of ace averages the kind of strikeouts he does? But the best part of his game is still the fact hes got a Clayton Kershaw delivery (without the stuff) which actually does great in an event like Koshien where teams won't get to see that look over and over.
Also really love how crappy of a catcher Miyuki is, poor Chris-senpai really would really be the better catcher, my favorite parts of this episode were the ones involving Chris talking from the bench about Miyuki being a bum but in the most polite form possible.

Magi S2 - Episode 18
The broadcast version of the episode seemed somewhat unfinished, so I was wondering if a two day delay at CR would result in a more polished episode. Guess not. This reminds me of all the crying over how Mor's dance was ruined in the previous season because they didn't get in-betweens in time to complete the scene. It seems much more severe here though, since this is the start of the big war, and there was a TON of action.
What actually got finished in a polished state looks pretty good. There are lots of different types of explosions, magic effects, character action, etc. The problem is largely that it feels sorta like watching an early cut of the episode instead of the finished one. Some effects shots simply look like some layers weren't finished or animated in time. Some action scenes were clearly not corrected by any animation director and looks really rough. Some close-ups have faces which look pretty off model. It's pretty sad.
What concerns me even more is that they've stopped having previews for the next episode entirely. Having that one hour special was probably a bad idea if the production is in this state. They need to delay stuff, not move them forward. The rest of this season is pretty heavy on action, so I dunno how they're going to fix their scheduling. I sure hope they do though. >_<

Well that love triangle really is starting to kick into gear here. Takao is the best girl but man shes got no shot if Roka wanted the MC. Unfortunate because she's the best girl.
The show is trying its hardest to ship Roka x MC but anybody watching this show knows Takao is the best girl by far. Stop trying to destroy greatness, just give the people what they want. It's not hard.

I need to get back into this. I got sad from that one episode with Renge's new friend, so I had to take a break ha.
Huh. I always found the Afghanistan arc to be the weakest part of the whole franchise, myself - wasn't that the anime original part?
Yes you do. TT_TT
I would bet big money such like ryo-chimo watching and enjoying show like Infinite Stratos and Strike Witches.

The brand new Yamato 2199 movie will open throughout Japan in late Fall this year. They will be re-running the TV series on Tokyo MX and B11 in April to prepare the hype and celebrate the 40th anniversary of Yamato. <3
No other details about the new movie right now.

Wow, I think this is the first time I've seen this thread drop to page 2. Anyway,
Log Horizon 18
Dat Valkyrie armor. Lenessia is far less annoying than early one, it's fun watching that character progress. Not enough Akatsuki, but the sign she put up while dressing Lenessia was pretty funny
Really enjoying this series. I'm slightly upset I picked this series to actually watch week after week instead of just waiting years after it's come out to binge watch. Only 4 days til the next episode...

OVA/Movie of the Year 2015
It was, yes. And I'm neither impartial nor unbiased on it, since it was the first part of FMP I saw and it got me into the show.
Should give the next two a shot and judge how hit/miss the show is for you from there.
I'd have dropped it if it wasn't for their pedigree. I keep waiting for it to suddenly become good.
It's not so bad to watch it once a week though. I wouldn't stand a marathon, but I can spare 20 minutes of my week with it.

This is how you people sucker folks into sticking with bad shows for all 13 episodes!
Seriously if you're not enjoying a show after 3 episodes you should just drop it. Always live by the rule of 3.
I think this is a special case given how different each episode is.
Judging by the preview, next episode is a zombie episode? I've never gotten the appeal of zombies.
i don't care for zombie-related media either but episode 4 is still pretty funny.
Tokyo Ravens 17
Much more Harutora and everyone else this week.
Harutora and Suzuka and Kon also got a lot to do this week, as Kon wished. Almost an entire episode full of battle scenes, but it was certainly never dull.

Natsume's secret is finally out. Kyoko, at the very least isn't happy. Though the pressing matter of turning Natsume into the reincarnation is a bigger thing.
OVA/Movie of the Year 2014?
That is all I needed to hear =D

Yeah its up there for best GBF episode.
Bearguy san is so awesome. I really hope he gets another episode at some point
Still not an interest-killer if the execution works. I guess I'll see what Branduil has to say about the next episode.

Yes my choice for which Free! character one would want to spend valentines day with got number 2 and good comments. (Rin)
"I want to force him to eat my chocolate"
"He looks kind of mad all the time, but if I give him a chocolate, he may blush" (blushing rin is best rin).

But I want a new series!
Is this a condensed version of the series or a follow-up?

Aria the Origination 6
I'm a bit surprised at how little development Alicia has gotten the past couple of seasons, so it was nice to get some after so long. As much as I'd be fine with her continuing to be ara ara-est character ever and not much else, this episode warmed my heart nicely.

Just got that Gunpla in the mail
.It says brand new, so it's probably the sequel. There really aren't any details yet. It could very well still end up being the start of a second season if they're doing the same thing they did with the first season. We'll know more when they actually have an announcement to make. Maybe we'll hear something at the end of the month, since they're holding a new Yamato Talk event on Feb 21.
Seitokai Yakuindomo* 05
Lots of focus on the judo team this week. Their innocence is a good change of pace. Aria continues to be the character I pay the most attention to, just because of how bold she is. Futanari (not really), the triangle shaving gag and even diapers... Maken-Ki! may be more explicit visually, but it's got a lot of catching up to do to match SYD in terms of maximum lewdness.
