Yes the Hakuoki franchise is alive and well! Thanks!
Based on episode summaries, or just a sense of timing?

Crossover movies aren't the ones introducing elements that were a cancer to the franchise. Blame GoGo's movie for starting the cancer.
EDIT: @Arti: Yes
Tokyo Ravens 21
Lots of elements from the start of the series returning in full force to bookend the thing. Funi's player could use less buffering, but the episode itself was interesting.
And having no Kon in the previews means having no Kon anywhere in the episode. I'm looking forward to seeing how this ends, now that things have become clear.

Harutora's so desperate to revive Natsume that he wants to try to use the ritual he stopped Suzuka from doing at the beginning of the show. And Suzuka calls him out on it as much.

Assumed this was free for download, but found out it was just free for streaming. Should have known better. DBZ is already free to stream on places like Hulu and Daisuki anyway.

It ruined smile's intro eps too!

You might as well explain why it ruined its intro eps. They ruined themselves.
Both will be written by Mari Okada!

They wanted to introduce all the cures to be used in the upcoming cross-over movie so they crammed it all in the first 5 episodes to get that done in time.
At least that's the very angry explanation I got when I complained about them being crap.

Yeah, it's not like Yes! 5 didn't happen or anything.

Yes, the anime only covered 25% of the manga.

Just Medaka Box, or that and Medaka Box: Abnormal? Either way, you will probably have to read the manga for closure as the manga ended after the anime adaptations.

The first two Madoka movies are basically just polished up versions of the show. Re-animated, some tiny little new lines here and there, etc. Nothing really new was added like in the TTGL movies or the Nanoha movies.
The third movie is the all new story that picks up where the show left off.
Seitokai Yakuindomo* 09
The show's always been self-aware, but Suzu and Takatoshi's desperate attempt to get out of Aria's perverted segment was fun to watch. Uomi is always wonderful (Chiwa Saito, woo!) and Furuya and all her outdated slang also provided a nice change of pace from the show. Ranko's material was more typical, but still enjoyable. When Aria mentioned she'd been on a college campus before, I was thinking "It's because you're Nana in Golden Time, right?". The answer was hardly that, but I do love a good voice actor joke. Which the Triple Booking segment also provided.

Bwahaha, out of all the lewd in the series, that's the one scene that I always remember from coming straight out of nowhere.
I watched the original series back when it was airing because I was still in the youthful point of watching near enough everything in a season. I don't really have any great love for the series aside from the quantity of smut it produces.
Theonik and Zach both are determined to make me a convert to the Way of the MofuButt™ so why not.
The original Sakamoto was great for having a totally deadpan laugh and while the new one has yet to laugh as such, it's still a disappointment. Also, Shirely is so best.
Even his minor appearance is still great. I remember after the series had ended the first time, I added a track from the soundtrack which is nothing more than Wakamoto giving some kind of monologue purely because of it being Wakamoto.
So there's still a chance for kayos to be the 3rd mod!
Oh wait, even he has abandoned us.
W-why? I mean, isn't the ending pretty conclusive?
Oh man this third movie is going to be a bad idea, isn't it?

Oh don't get me wrong. The third movie is very well done. It actually takes the ending of the series and expands on it quite a bit.
But that's all I'm going to say other than the fact that you might learn something from the third movie....
But it's over. We don't need anything else, do we?
nintendoman58
Member
It's not as over as you think it is I'm afraid.
This was basically my thought as the movie was announced and as it approached release. Avoiding spoilers was quite the adventure.
Then I saw the movie and realized that it gave me great, wonderful things I didn't even know I wanted.
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore'.
I know it's a bad idea, but I mean, what the heck. Not like I've ever been one for good ideas.

This imouto strikes me as not quite as cute as imoutos ought by rights to be. However, she makes up for that by playing incredibly well off all the other characters. Sasuga desu.
Meanwhile, Takao-thunder's assets continue to earn their reputation as extremely dangerous weapons.

So that sort of explains weird atmosphere between Rock and Revy. And that job being basically a game seemed stupid. As well as the Nazis adding almost nothing to the plot except that you are supposed to hate them

Bakemono gatari ( snake & cat blu-ray edition )
Watching the start of the cat part and it's quite funny how shaft actually made up an entire set of scenes for the flashback scene based on few key points in the books and right now it doesn't even make sense since the writter wrote nekomonogatari and it doesn't follow those flashback scenes ..at all.I mean the one thing they did right was the number of victims and the fact that it's shinobu that give the finaly attack..everything else is pure SHAFT imagination ...because at the time nobody knew the details.
Anyway the snake part was quite cool , if only because you could just forget the missing trend of the "boy that was cursed" because it's really forgotten for a lot of time. and nadeko in bloomers ..Good work kanbaru !
So episode 12 was the first DATE between gahara & araragi , again plenty of good conceptthat will be reused in the next arc started here, very good mention to gahara-san saying " you think my underclassmate is perverted , then how about THIS !"
Loving you gahara....
Anyway still have plenty of blu-rays left

Pilot's Love Song 9
Much better than previous episodes, I liked it.
Noragimi 9
... and this, in the other hand, was predictable and trite. I was guessing every plot point before it happened.
Space Dandy 9
The surprise of the past week, cool and quirky episode of SD. They should do more of this, though I suppose the real difference is the staff. SD seems a series where they are giving a lot of freedom to the director and creative staff of each episode to do their thing, so we have good episodes like 5 and 9 and bad episodes like.. most of the rest.

I know it's cliche to say it, but when you say "human vivisection" the first thing that comes to mind is "Nazi Germany." So lemme just say that it's no real surprise that
should be up to some seriously Nazi shit.

Is Sugita still off the show? His creepy otakuism is the best. lol
Of course he's still in the show! It's not Tokyo Encounter without Sugita and Nakamura.

In UK's licensing news: All the Anime has licensed Attack on Titan...
...'s soundtrack. Yes, just the soundtrack. Apparently they're planning a CD release, too. One question that hasn't been answered: why?
As for who's got the anime licence: Funimation, which means Manga UK.
