Changes to the script and characters? Or you just didn't like the voices...
smh the dub owns
Why you gotta be mean to J. Michael Tatum and Caitlin Glass...

Mostly the voices. The English casting makes them sound a lot more serious which kinda doesn't work for their characters. Hearing those accents also made my ears bleed.
I don't actually mind weirdness as you would describe it at all and Kanokon is not really weird at all.

Oh sweet merciful lord, its a Becky episode.
Absolutely lost it with the cooking class. NSFWx2
Every single male character in that room should be ashamed of themselves and should no longer call themselves a man.
And Kei, while I thought your moment with Yakul was awesome and I may still like you as a bro, you are terrible defender of World Cup breasts everywhere.

Ah, the intricacies of watch bets. These are still fairly new to me.
I also suck with names, especially characters that look alike. I had problems with Ladd/Isaac, and still have problems distinguishing Luck/Maiza and knowing who is from what family and stuff,.
I need to do this one day.

In a perfect world skipping the Baccano OP would be punishable by death.
Hah, yeah I mean, It's not as if it was hard to not skip it every episode. Lovely OP.

Wonder what historical figure will stand in his way now.

As far as I'm aware, no, at least not on a channel that's not Funimation's or whoever else does that.

Don't think so. It would be perfect for new Toonami.

There is also that. But Wakamoto doesn't feature for much of the series.
Space Dandy 9
Here we go again. Another Space Dandy episode that is just so different from the rest. I think it'd be interesting to see a poll/ranking of how each episode stacks up, or maybe just a list of what most can agree on are the best episodes. Anyway, the past few episodes have been pretty silly/stupid for the most part, but this one was really... relaxing to watch. They didn't really talk much during this episode, but that was a good thing. I just loved the trippy art and music. Reminded me very much of Botanicula and that Mushroom Men game. Is there a name for this kind of stuff?

I feel I should represent Kobayashi's delicious role as Nice in firehawk's absence.

I liked Durarara more than Baccano but this is pretty dumb. Baccano was an amazing show in its own right and definitely a better fit for a western audience.

That too seriously what are you doing watching that dub.

Yuuko's yelling scenes are really annoying.
Hopefully her meeting Professor means more Professor. Not a surprise to see her get along with Yuuko, but it would still be funny to see her interact with the others.
How does that science teacher still have a job after assaulting a student with a deadly weapon?

Kingdom S2 Episode 29
Really tense episode. Extremely close but still kicking.

Was impressed when Xin pulled Lun Hu off the horse slamming him on the ground and then similarly when he got a swift sword slash in. Part of me is glad he stood back up as it was a bit unfair to get him when he had his attention diverted to an interruption. If he can get him while facing him head on it will truly feel like a true victory of this extremely long multi day battle

Huh, didn't expect a flashback, especially since I thought it was an actual race and I missed something. >_>
Oh well, gave character to the two captains so I can't complain.

This show continues to deliver, and has already beaten Seki Kun and Seitokai Yakuindomo Butthole as my favorite high school comedy this season. The father and son make a return this episode, as brief as it is it was glorious. Also Kazama's sister is the girl version of him haha

Kinda alot happened in one episode, confirmed my suspicions on how she seemingly doesnt get hurt and yet was wearing a scarf after that tiger skin bit the dude.

Well, and I think the beginning of the season wasn't half bad. Battle damaged Exia, Saji not being completely worthless, no dealing with Sumeragi pissing herself when her plans went wrong.
And then the spiraling.

Big reveals, I can already tell how this is going to end.

Claire/Nina will sacrifice herself to protect Superman. She'll die in his arms and he'll make a promise to become the BEST GUNDAM PILOT EVER.
There's a certain Smile Precure episode you're gonna really like. :3
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
This is probably my favorite episode of Nichijou. The coffee shop, the character eraser skit, the whole scene at Nano's house. It all works so well.
You're supposed to skip the OP.
kara no Kyokai - Mirai Fukuin
So I understand that at the show's core it's all about philosophy and the way to view life. Having said that I found this episode to be very... contrived. It delves on the various aspects of viewing the future for far too long and brings in characters just for the sake of. It doesn't really feel very good but at he same time it feels good to watch it. The philosophies and the various sayings in the show sit well with me despite it being very obvious. I would say this is one of the more coherent and non-convoluted bullshit in the entire series. At the same time because of it Mirai Fukuin is more boring than the others. It's a lot of talking with really nothing to show for it. In the end character arcs are forgettable and somewhat stupid, the characters themselves are uninteresting, and the events that happen are largely unimportant both within the context of the episode and the series as a whole.
Visually, Mirai Fukuin is fucking amazing. The backgrounds look stellar, the camera direction is pretty fantastic and one particular scene that pans across a building was balls to the walls awesome. I think ufotable outdid themselves and pretty much raises the bar in visual fidelity out of all the animation studios out there. There is more color variety here than in the previous episodes so I greatly enjoyed that as well.
Overall I have mixed feelings about this last entry in the series. It was interesting to say the least but at the same time it was largely unneeded as the entire story was closed out. Eh.... do I hate it? Not really. Do I love it? Not really. It's a good watch regardless. Much better than the shitty first episode.

I'm honestly going to watch this movie as fan-service really. Fan-service because of the relationship expansions as it was frustrating throughout the whole series since nothing much evolved.
Reminder:

It's a very fanservice-esque episode. Even moreso because Shiki and Mikiya act very familiar with each other but throughout the episode but she acts very distant towards Mikiya in Murder 2. It's very weird seeing this happen since Mirai Fukuin happens in between the already existing episodes. Eh. Continuity... who gives a shit.
