Real men make their own chocolates! Not that I know how...

Real men don't just make their own chocolates for White Day...

Does anyone ever make their own chocolates in anime? There's a fairly irritating Jdrama adaptation of Shitsuren Chocolatier (Manga Taisho nominee) running at the moment where the lead is unsurprisingly a chocolatier, but from what little I watched there's mostly food porn shots of the completed chocolates and the occasional shot of the lead spreading chocolate around on marble endlessly (which is sort of accurate, but also sort of not...). The manga seems okay in a wangsty shoujo way, but what is tolerable with pretty stills and written dialogue becomes incredibly hammy in live action.

Summer season is off to a mighty fine start with shouta aoi (ai mikaze via utapri), tetsuya kakihara (hakkenden shino inuzuka/yowapeda toudou), and ryota ohsaka (hamatora nice) providing voices.
 
Silver Spoon S2 9

What a fantastic episode. It's a shame that it's going to end in 2 more when it's gotten so good. Season One was a decent and enjoyable light-hearted show, but it's come a long way from there.
 
So YuruYuri is getting an OVA it seems http://otakomu.jp/archives/70704.html
Damn it ...an oav is cool but a third season would be better

.
Not a bad Op ... RN still sell itself too high considering what is going on in the game.

Game doesn't have nearly enough of the BEST GIRL

Everyone needs a chibi Miku with them for hard times.
Pardon my poor Japanese writing, I used this as an excuse to practice.

Chibi miku is a decent alternative to a normal miku :)

Blood - C 6

First 5 minutes: WELP :/

Man Saya SUCCKKKKSSSSSS! Has she saved anyone ever?

Second Half:
WUT THE FUKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Blood - C 7


Man what happened to the animation and effects? Also continue staying free at saving people Saya :p Town must be crazy deserted for there never to be living witnesses.
I'm assuming this is all some elaborate simulation or ruse to keep Saya "contained" so to speak.
Also lol at dark, tall and handsome showing up out of nowhere.

Blood - C 8

After talking to Saya all of like twice in the show so far, tall & dark
is in love with her
? Yeah, I'm not buying this AT ALL. Also watching Saya stumble through basic human interactions is kind of tiring :/ I gotta agree
with the dog
that I'm glad his intrusion, as awkward as it was, didn't result in a tired "AHHH ECCHI!" type joke or freak out.

Last 3 minutes:
LOL

Yutaka Nakamura probably owns the top 3 animated sword fights.

The opening to Escaflowne the Movie jumps to mind.

I feel its been so long since I've seen Escaflowne TV & Movie I honestly don't remember much about them. Thanks for the refresher :)

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha - 08&09

Aside from the melodrama both episodes were solid overall. I'm a little bummed that
Inari didn't generate a shockwave or something to knock those bullies on their asses before Uka=sama's intervention.They deserved it!

And I'm going to be so incredibly depressed when this season ends. I doubt we will ever get another season where yuri is popping up in so many different shows. ;_;
Yeah I share both sentiments here. I wished Inari's godly power did something more tangible to them. And we will miss this karmic surge of Yuri we got this season. I fully expect a DTL season soon.

Ojamajo Doremi Dokkann - Episodes 11-20

It was nice to see the FLAT4 again and seeing that Doremi is still in love with Akatsuki despite not seeing him for over a year although Kotake's been showing signs of having a crush on Doremi. Hmmm.

Hana is tearing up the exams quicker than Pop did. It was nice to see a different Witch Apprentice Exam for once since the Level 7 exam had never been shown before. I liked how the last ring was
a ring of lit candles, it was not as obvious as the other two were.

As for the 2nd bramble, I liked how
their rainbow was as crude as the one that Tourbillon made. I think it looks much nicer than a rounded rainbow, more charming for sure!

Really liked Episode 17's plane story.
It was so heartbreaking to see the plane crash in the end. After all the effort of protecting the secret base and building it together. I think I've seen something like it before in another show, although I'm not sure which one.

Episode 20 was a great one for sure. Hana was great in this episode telling class her dream (much to Doremi and Momoko's chagrin) and then becoming a giant spooking out Tamaki.
They must tell us Momoko's dream eventually. It's obvious what it is but you can't leave us hanging like that!

Next episode has Oyajide as the star for once. It's about time!

Kodansha US' release of the manga wasn't a complete disaster.
Quite true. I was thinking of the anime there, but when you generalize it to any iteration that exception should be included as well.

Still, the manga has its own drama and assholes involved with it. The live action "only" suffers from being handled by TV-Nihon and no non-clock release in ten years.

There is a non-TVN version of it out there. The subs aren't perfect, but they're much better than that.

Kill La Kill 22

Some real teamwork going on this episode. How Nui's able to sew with just her mouth is several degrees of crazy, yet perfectly in line with what I've come to expect from this series. Everything goes back to the Academy once again, but both because of the tone and the fact that there's only two episodes left, there's a real sense of finality to things this time.
Mako using her Fight Club uniform for the side of good. Haw yeah!

Also, 5:30 AM? Yeesh.

Latest Jojo promo feat. Jean Pierre Polnareff and his stand Silver Chariot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F_9IHS_fkk


Also Sailor Moon info is now official: http://natalie.mu/comic/news/112094 & http://moca-news.net/article/20140315/201403150000d/01/ etc. Key visual is back on the site:


Also Strike Witches "movie" trilogy? First one this fall http://moca-news.net/article/20140315/201403150000a/01/


Edit: lemme get some info from Kvin:

they announced two projects, the Operation Victory Arrow with the 501 aka the old cast (which we thought would be normal OVA, looks like they're 30 mins theatrical "movies" instead) and the third season which we know nothing about

"Stealth edit": I literally posted this crap in the span of 5-10 minutes, so I just stacked it on the post. If two people post the same shit, who cares, so why Arti, why the hell would you go end edit your post almost an hour later to make it seem you were the first to post the SAO news. This is dumb, even dumber cause my follow up posts and timelines don't match.

I'm cool with that. Short side stories are what OVAs were made for. Long as I get to see more of Yoshika and Shirley, who are the best.
