Cardfight Vanguard! 01-02
oh my god it's like I'm back in the 90s all over again.
This highly expository theme tune has some inexplicably really metal parts to it.
I can't believe I watched two episodes of this just because I wanted to see how the first card battle turned out. lol. The card game seems pretty well thought out (I assume it's based on an actual card game) but the show is kinda boring.

This reminded me of something
Glass Fleet 1
I have heard the horror stories surrounding this show though I was a bit hesitant to believe it could really be that bad. I say the first episode a while back and boy was it shit. Shit animation, shit writing, shit art, a nonsensical world setting (we have space travel but we move around in horsebuggies on an asteroid or something during the middle of a large space battle) etc. I'm hesitant to talk too much shit about people and situations I frankly don't know very well (or at all) but this felt like a production produced without any quantity of heart, soul or joy. Like a bunch of people were strapped to their desks and forced to produce this for fear of a headshot (or more "realistically" starvation). Something produced not because anybody WANTED to make something but just for the sake of saying they were making something. I had always assumed this was an adaptation of some shit manga/LN that got way more popular than it had any right to be but to learn that it was an original production speaks volumes of the complete lack of imagination of the people who inhabited Gonzo at the time. How did that studio get any work (I assume it was because they were cheap but still :/)? I'm going to have to review the staff list for Gankutsou closely because I dunno how that show and this show could be produced by the same studio O_O
Glass Fleet 1 Abridged
This honestly isn't much better than the real deal :/

You should stick with it as the cardfights get rather intense once a few more mechanics are introduced and interesting characters play beyond this intro match, dub especially (Morikawa, Kyo Crush Rush, Dr. O, etc)
Cardfight!! Vanguard is a growing TCG in the offline world. Should be tons of the commercials for the TCG on youtube.
Gonzo benefited from existing during the heyday of anime when people were just throwing money(granted, not much money) at studios to allow them to make crap that no one cared about.

Yokoi had me rolling with the knitting episode. With her badass level 2 knitting skill she's like, "Do you even knit bro?" before
It was nice to see them mix things up a bit by bringing in a new character for episode 10. Give me more Goto!

succumbing to Seki's broken character with him being able to do anything effortlessly. :lol

Yeah I suppose that makes sense and corresponds to much of the shit that got imported and the terrible 3-4 episodes per disc model of the early 2000s anime industry. Plus, again, I'm assuming they were a cheap studio to hire compared to others. Their name used to be everywhere back in the day and while they did produce a few gems, their shit to quality ratio has to be the worst of any "major" studio.

do more mechanics get thrown in to spice things up? Seems like games play out roughly the same until everyone is at 4-5 damage.
Just got to when they throw in limit breaks, but that just seems like a minor damage boost buff.
Maybe he shoulda tried not being evil first.
But it's not his fault. He's just trying to be a good son! Can't you see how CONFLICTED he is?! Looool.
stop at 7 and beware of trees

I...I did not expect that.
Let me just rewatch this ep one more time. What's the step above a tonal shift.

More introductions, this time on the magic side.
Nice to see more Jewelpets get introduced and how lessons at magic school works.

Murasakibara's talent vs Kiyoshi's willpower is the battle this episode.
Kiyoshi has awoken the monster at the end of the episode.
I'm glad Kiyoshi's getting some exposure this game. During the Touou game I thought he kinda slipped into the background, but he's back now.

Such deconstruction. I love it.

Don't due this to yourself. Glass Fleet is so baaaaaad. And not even good bad.
Welcome to the jungle.
Can anyone comment on whether or not Shakespeare is universally regarded as a literary titan in Japan the same way that he is in English-speaking countries? He wasn't exactly a cornerstone of Japan's cultural development the way that he was in England, so I could actually understand if being taught in schools or having even basic knowledge of Shakespeare quotes is less common there. It's not like UK/American schools are making anyone read The Tale of Genji.
There was a Romeo and Juliet Ranma story, but that was about as accurate as an average 5 year old's interpretation of the Mona Lisa. Less actually.
We should beam it out into space. Bound to get a response.

As I figured would happen
Incoming drama train. But in more important news:
The queen has returned! #basedTouka
KyoAni knows what OTP the people really care about!
As I figured would happen
Satone suddenly realizes she still has feelings for Yuuta.
The queen has returned! #basedTouka
true that.

So a near pointless investigation done by her and Wizards are starting to become less discriminated against though clearly that radical group thinks calling Lucifer the best way for this situation. WHERE IS THE ACE ATTORNEY STUFF I ORIGINALLY WATCHED THIS SHOW FOR?

But the show had all this stuff in the first few episodes I watched. When was it ever something else?

WHY did they cut out the Takao chase sequence?
That entire part is where she starts developing feelings for Kazama.
Annoyed that they also cut out Water's talk with him.
She only has 2-3 important parts in the entire series and that was one of them.
Just started reading the manga because I'm loving this show and you're completely right, they shoulda kept that chapter, love them pitfall traps

I've gotten used to it now.
But man this show needs better animation.
EDIT:Screw animation. DELUXE MODE

It at least had the court segments in the first few episodes. Kind of what drew me in. Now its all excessive action and stupid plot.

Bunny Drop END
So I ended up watching the last two episodes together, and feel that the way they ended it was just about perfect. This was such a cute show, and I loved that it shows that a parent grows just as much as their child. If I did have one criticism, it's that the show seems a bit too rosy, focusing mostly on the joys of parenting rather than the stresses.

That's because
the stress is in the manga
I refuse to read the manga, though.
Let's hope!
Good pick!

No-Rin - 08
Becky focused episode that shot her up to the #1 spot on my list of best Christmas Cakes of all time. So many scenes worth posting but so easily bannable. Anyone who have not seen this show yet DO IT NOW.
I was at work and...
Ohhhh shiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttt I neeeeeeeeeeeed thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssss

I was hoping it wouldn't tempt you.
That was one nitpick for me. Another was Rin seemed to adult, to mature. Not much like a child. And that's the primary reason why I preferred Aishiteruze Baby. The kid there felt much more like a real child.
