Hey AnimeGAF what do you get when you mix a Zeon with a fire starter Pokemon.

...

A CHARmander.

What do you get when you combine my foot with your ass.

This episode was strangely hype because of the way it basically pulled in material from the new spinoff series and also had, presumably, more original Side-A material. This is truly a television franchise. lol

But my favourite part was the most hypest part of the anime and probably a callback to my favourite moment from the original series.

I'll link it here since it's like an 8 meg gif and it's a bit of a spoiler I suppose: http://i.minus.com/ig0E31oNX3lJe.gif

So good!

Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda Episode 4
sekai seifuku continues to be the funnest show of the season.

It's really atrocious and I'd like to hope the only reason most people don't call them out on it is because they don't know what good typesetting looks like. I mean, look at what Crunchyroll does for Sekai Seifuku's OP -- when they show the series logo in the OP it changes color about six times in a few seconds and the translated typeset title matches it beat for beat.

Or, alternatively, I don't complain about Funi's typesetting because I don't care very much? I can watch the ED without subtitles at all on Youtube any time I want, and at least Funi bother to translate the credits unlike Crunchyroll. Where are you going to stuff them without covering even more of the screen up?

I'm not saying fansub-style typesetting isn't pretty and clever and all, but it's an exception born out of Crunchyroll's uniquely symbiotic relationship with fansubbing, whereas Funi is taking its cue from professional subtitling of foreign films (I know you don't like seeing anime films in the cinema any more, but this is exactly how most anime screenings treat subtitles, let alone "mainstream" foreign cinema).

All right, all right, I overreacted a bit. Can we at least agree that typesetting the show's logo when it shows up in the corner of the screen for three seconds after the commercial break is overkill, though? That's where the more annoying problem is for me anyway.

Many years ago I was the librarian for my uni's anime club and I showed ep 1 of Mushishi in the random show slot. The fucking peons were all either disinterested or downright bored and many walked out to go get food. That was over half a decade ago and it still irritates me whenever Mushishi is brought up, freaking casuals >_______>

Well that was super creepy, and not just because of
the coach
. One of the better starts to a chapter in this series.

Btw, the comedy sfx sound like they were ripped straight out of a Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

I was pretty meh on it too. Much prefer Natsume.

Maybe I should try again now that I have some distance from Natsume.

Well, that was a fun first episode. The
hot girl being a major troll
was great, and she has a nice voice too (Yukari Tamura).

I don't know which side to pick right now, but I'll know in due time.

Tonari no Seki-kun 6

This is best episode since the shogi one. The song killed me

Tonari no Seki-kub 7

Another 1:1 episode made slightly better by HanaKana in her 2nd best role.

Tonari no Seki-kun Episodes 6 and 7:

More and more I am becoming convinced that this series is going to end with Rumi snapping and stabbing Seki with a pen-knife over wasting time one too many times.
 
Gintama 13

Hey, something serious! Probably the first time we've seen Gintoki... cornered in a sense.

Digged the One Piece reference though! Guessing we have our main villains as of this episode? Or should I not worry about it?

yeah its kind of annoying. The whole thing is more subjective anyway. Theres an officially recognized way to subtitle but it isnt necessarily the most fun way it can be done.

Sayaka never gets enough appreciation from Madoka fans. ;_;

I like all the Madoka girls but my favorite is Kyoko.

Is...is that Wester and Setsuna?

But Setsuna's OTP is Love!

Does the series have a manga by any chance?

I don't believe so, no.

I'm not crazy about the font choice though. At a glance it reads as Sakura Trich to me.

Well, that's part of the actual logo, not the sub typesetting, so take it up with the manga author =p

Meh, all those Idolmaster girls I don't know.

I do love the soft art style in oreshura.

Yesyesyes! It's wonderful.


Fresh Precure! 15

Another episode of Setsuna trying to be evil while being gradually overwhelmed by the sheer force of wonderfulness that is Love. Which would be great even on its own, but of course we have to have a monster of the week as well, so Souler brings the goods. His Nakiwameke are always entertaining, and this one is no exception - an evil parrot that forces people to say what they're really thinking, causing arguments everywhere.

Of course this backfires spectacularly as far as Love is concerned, only serving to prove that yes, she really is as pure and wonderful as she seems. And once the Nakiwameke is defeated, all the people who had their true feelings exposed apologised to each other and it was totally fine. Many of them were even better off for it! Faith in humanity: 1, Souler: 0.

Oh right, this is the Eas arc. Damn good arc. Or rather close to it.

Let me guess(because I'm on mobile and my shit connection won't let me see it). Is it
Hisa doing a tsumo
, because that is the hypest move I know from Saki.

This episode was so good.

Yep!

I have to say, I love the "恋人といる時の雪って特別な気分に浸れて僕は好きです" tag and meme on twitter, mostly due to all the amazing fanart it's generating. Like this one or this one.
I'm pretty :kayos on this one, but I don't recognize anyone in the pictures. What's going on?

Aww yeah.

Glad to see Yayoi on this list. I feel like she was a bit shafted in the TV series (her episode became Iori's episode lol), so I have hope that the movie has some good Yayoi scenes. Also, I like the Producer lol. Otherwise, Haruka #1! <3
