Gundam Try-18

I'm a little conflicted on this. The character work for the Trio is absolutely shoddy at best. Once again, only one person on the enemy team mattered. So many battles in this series feel superfluous in that a team format wasn't needed. The enemy Gunpla itself was also pretty damn boring. There's no sense of strategy in any of these fights so far. Sekai is just straight pulling shit out of his ass at this point. The show is just a complete step down from the first season.

That said, the climax of the fight was also really well done on a directorial level. The composer actually realized that he needed to do some work this season and the OST this episode was great. There's a lot of really solid storyboarding and pretty decent animation. The SD having a sad look with the final stroke was a really nice touch.

So I guess this is one of those polishing a turd things.

 

[Jarmel]

Oh yea what type of asshole makes someone else fly from Paris to Japan just to deliver some Gunpla parts?

 

[CheapJuice]

Hunter x Hunter - 10

Just when I started to feel I needed a Hisoka fix. I was curious to see what he was up to, he's definitely the character I enjoy the most so far.
Frankly I expected (and wished) him to be the fifth person in the main group for this test, not the rookie breaker.

Animenz - Unravel - Tokyo Ghoul OP [piano]

And here I was thinking "Unravel? Sweet, maybe I'll try to play his cover of it some day!" Well and then the video started...in 10 years perhaps. Took me like 3-4months to actually play Yasashisa no Riyuu somewhat decently, but it's a fun way to get gradually better (though I should rather learn the basic scales and all if I want to be efficient >.<).

Much better episode than the last 2.

How can you not love someone who speaks using bike sounds? How can someone be so dandy?

Chi-bo also got turned into an octopus. Wut.

Damn Eliza.

Wish we could have reached the scene where Tigre wipes her body while she's naked.

But alas.

We are not that lucky.

Also, because presumably no Maple Syrup.

Not really.

I mean sure there's apparently going to be handjobs, titjobs, and like 10 blowjobs.

But no penetration.

Parasyte 18

I hate the author for making her ask "SHINICHI-KUN DID YOU COME BACK?" I wanted to throw a chair at her. I hate you. So fucking much. Also the fact the other waifu was like "wait don't leaaaaaaaaaave! Your husbando is nearby!" god dammit these female characters. Besides that good episode, and the ending got fucking tense shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Don't know if shit is gonna go down next episode but maybe. Maybe.

It is when being a "gamer" becomes your life ( for real )

Oh yea what type of asshole makes someone else fly from Paris to Japan just to deliver some Gunpla parts?

She was doing something already in japan, giving the parts was an opportunity , nothing else.

Damn Eliza.

Yep , the urz sub arc would have been great to see animated but not by that team , as their adaptation is trully disapointing in my eyes.

[Midonin]

KanCurry 06

Shimakaze is still being cute in the background, and damn if all the VAs aren't doing a great job here. There's distinct voices for all the characters - like the entire Sixth Destroyer girls group being one Aya Suzaki. Focusing on a different group of characters was a nice change of pace, and while I've seen cooking competitions like this before in anime quite a few times - Mai-HiME comes to mind - this one has Kongou.

Testament 06

Of course Yuki has a little sister who's going to cause trouble. The childhood friend almost always does. I also liked the instrumental version of the opening that played during the shopping scene.

Strawberry Marshmallow 07-09

Miu can be kind of an asshole at times. Throwing rings, messing with the drums and setting up shop at the festival are at least not actively damaging uses of it, but getting Chika all worried like that and making her think she's putting on weight? You gotta know your boundaries, Miu. That's the most Chika's been in focus, though - she doesn't have as much presence as Matsuri's shyness, Ana's politeness or Miu's above-mentioned being a troublemaker. Miu playing baseball reminded me of Natsumi skiing in Non Non Biyori. Both of them don't know what they're talking about - the difference is Natsumi was mostly right.

Kancolle - 06
damn , kancolle manages to do exactly what it wanted to do in the first place , do justice to the characters, the universe and make them more popular than ever.

There wasn't even 1 scene that wasn't doing some of that...

<The audience recovers the damage !! >

Everything in this contest was perfect ..

kongou cooking skills , akagi eating skills , shimakaze modern skills , shoukaku is one of my favorites so i can't be partial considering her role in this episode but ...where are those doujins ?

ahem...

Haguro reaction was priceless .... Ashigara desesperation was " a thing of beauty"

Excellent episode

i fear for next comiket ... this thing is going to become bigger than it already is ....

 

[Jarmel]

Parasyte-18

The hand of stupidity is literally calling her back.

How much ammo do these cops have? It's not like they're shooting a black guy. Anyway I'm surprised as I didn't expect this arc to tie into his mother in that way. I thought he had long gotten some sense of closure but this episode made it clear that he's still grieving and that he had shut himself up to avoid dealing with the grief. Both Reiko and Shinichi's feelings were conveyed extremely well.

aen;adkdjo;ajmdad

I SWEAR TO GOD. This cunt comes out of nowhere to ruin what was quite possibly the best scene in the entire show. I want to reach into my computer monitor to strangle her so bad.

Remember that time when there were aliens?

I like the occasional recaps where it's like "I guess we used to have aliens and shit, lol I dunno!"

Basically what R_thanatos said! Kancolle is going to be on a whole new level come next Comiket, and I welcome it.

May the garden be blessed with many yuri doujins.

 

[Jarmel]

I should mention that the pacing in Parasyte-18 is also a perfect case of someone just straight adapting a work without thinking of tone, context, or a natural breaking point.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Episode 42

Wow Battle Royal is really good mode for Tag Duel. Loved how it came up and all the characters popping up. Really excited for the Dennis fight, Ive been waiting for him since his character design was revealed.

 

[fertygo]

The solution is to break yourself over 5 minute after first half break like it aired on tv then

[Jarmel]

It would be like BONES adapting the Nina arc and the climax being mid episode. Then five minutes later Ed is grabbing Winry's boobs, all while Winry asks if Ed is coming home.

Ah ah .. the show is not even that lewd yet ... if you guys knew what would happen in the next arcs , lol .

This is only book 2 .. look forward to see what happens in book 4 !!!

Anyway , they better animate next week battle better than the finale of book 1 ...
I guess they decided to put more money into the lewd than in the fights animation ???

 

[Crash Station]

It's more rushed than straight. They'd need more than 24 episodes if they didn't want to ruin the pacing.

Shinobu seems like the only character in this show who isn't a completely horrible person/complete idiot/both.

When should I expect this show to shift its focus? Around 20 episodes or so?

Sad to see Tamura go as she was probably the most interesting character in the show.

Another good episode ruined by Murano's inclusion. Dat cliffhanger though. I'm tempted to just pick up the manga at this point because I'm starting to get impatient.

Shinmai Maou 6

This is the guiltiest guilty pleasure I've ever watched. I don't know if I should be disappointed or impressed with myself for kinda enjoying this. The show truly gives no fucks, it might as well be softcore porn at this point.

Around 20 episodes is when it dumps the 2 stories per episode format, but Lum's and Shinobu's characters change positions before that.

The Idol Master 23

I can't fault Miki for saying the things she did. It was a competition that was set up by their producer. Episode ended with a bang, probably the closest thing to a cliffhanger in this series.

I second this , starting Vol 5 , dxd becomes more focused and fun to watch..

More lore , more powers , more characterisation , more of everything ..it becomes "merely good" to "entertaining as f*ck."

How much ammo do these cops have?

It's especially funny because its pretty clear from the sounds that nobody reloads. Also kind of hilarious how they have no qualms about shooting somebody holding a baby. I mean there's NO WAY A STRAY BULLET COULD HIT THE BABY THAT THE TARGET IS HOLDING IN THERE HANDS RIGHT?

It's more rushed than straight. They'd need more than 24 episodes if they didn't want to ruin the pacing.

Yeah I haven't read the manga but the story doesn't seem to be in a place where it can end in a satisfying manner in only 6 episodes. Hell we still have no idea where these parasites come from or what their purpose (if any) is aside from some vague eco-terrorist angle.

Well, they only have 15 chapters left to adapt. Totally doable in 6 episodes. I just imagine some irrelevant stuff here and there.

Soul Eater 2

Where the show introduces Black Star, who looks to be an early contender to be my least favourite character in the series. It doesn't help that his dub voice sounds like it should belong to someone who's 4-5 years younger than he is.
