Any scene with her is repressed by my brain so it's very likely I don't remember if she was involved. I guess it'll come back in 30 years and give me a stroke.

Twas nice to see an expanded story of Lev's beginning in Nekoma.
Along with more interaction between Kenma and Kuro.

Future Card Buddyfight Episode 61 (engDub)
One of the best fights of the whole anime, all the counterspells and such combined with the looming drama.
I love Kyoya Gaen's engdub voice, makes everything sound so wonderful.

Good summary, not something I could probably get into then. I have about 8 episodes of Full Horizon left, then looking for something more like SAO in terms of emotional depth/relationships.

Dude, this is anime. If you let stuff like that block your roads to enjoying a series, you're in the wrong medium.

If you've just started watching anime , then it's not for you BECAUSE you need some references to get the point of god so many scenes.
Put it on the backlog and watch it in 2, 3 years.

Well you see she Nina didn't like all those Elevens so she got her brothers D-von and Bubba Ray to 3-D Zero over a burning table. Yup, that's what everyone refers to when they say the table scene, and nothing else.
Well that depends on whether they are into the games. That could carry you through.
I've been enjoying it myself. Probably enjoying it more than I have the other new shows from this season (aside from maybe the cooking show, though its lack of plot is wearing down my enthusiam a bit). But that probably says more about this season than anything.

Death Parade 10
Was the old lady the wife of the old man from Death Billiards? That connection along with the previous visitors being on the cards makes me wonder. I assume it was to stir up the girl's memory and not for the old lady.
As I thought, the old man who plays pool is dangerous as hell.
Uh oh. Why is the next episode called Memento Mori?

Now Leon's getting the hang of this. Not so sure about the spike-boobs. I know "boobs!" was one of the first things I heard about OG Garo, but never like this.

I like that we got a Suseri episode, mostly so I can hear more of Mao Ichimichi's voice acting. Keep it up, Luka.

Well. That didn't go as expected.

Well. That didn't go as expected.
Geass S2 is simply crazier and not everyone wants to go along with it. Sometimes I share the typical complaints, sometimes I don't (for instance, I'd say ZR is legitimately great).
But there are some actual positives to it, which the shows that truly made me rage tend to absolutely lack. That's why I can -and do- enjoy rewatching it.
Who says you should? I've always found that scene to be amusing.
The staff had a weird sense of humor and weren't above in-jokes. In retrospect, Nina was kind of an obvious punching bag for them.
Death Parade 10
That was a nice, subdued episode, especially after the last one. Reminds me of the bowling game with the lovers, episode 3.
Can't really tell where things are going now. It seems like the games are over, at least, and now it'll be focused on
and crazy beard man. They seemed to imply that

I still maintain that there was never a point where it jumped the shark.
And if there was one, it would be super early on, when Suzaku and Lelouch save Nunnally from Mao.

For me, I think one can take Geass seriously enough in S1.
Like, despite the ridiculousness of what happens in the last few episodes of S1 (and some other ridiculous things before that) I feel like things don't go full-on "List show" until S2.
MAJOR GEASS SPOILERS BELOW.

Like, the way the Euphinator scene occurred can be seen as horribly contrived yes, but it's how everything proceeds after that I think is directed perfectly.
Take, Euphemia's death scene. It's going on at the exact same time Zero is giving his speech to the Japanese, who have suffered the most from the massacre and are understandably pissed, to which Lelouch uses to his advantage. Meanwhile, Euphemia is on her death bed with Suzaku by her side, and the way the scene transitions from Lelouch to Suzaku as you see what's happening and what it means for the rest of the show is just freaking heartbreaking.
Before that scene I was on Lelouch's side, rooting for the Black Knights all the way. But after that...yeah. At that point I knew the whole thing was gonna end horribly for everyone and I just wanted the fighting to stop. Which I assume was the intended reaction, and that's why I think S1 is legit good and not just "List" good.

Yams plz
I can already feel the love lol. I'm I the only one loving Saekano (I think that's the name for the otaku guy making a game with 4 other girls) in here? All the other shows are kinda lacking, except for YowaPeda and Parasyte even though I heard the manga for the latter is way better.
I still prefer some of the shorts from the first season, but yeah this was really well done. The voice acting definitely deserves a nod, especially since it's all done by Kouichi Yamadera and Megumi Hayashibara, like every other short. They're doing a really good job of showing their range. Lol.
Watch Shirobako.
Great avatar you got there, will trust this recommendation.

They're also longer, well the Hunter Exam arc is. I'm not sure how the pacing is in the Heavens Arena or the Yorknew arc in the 1999 version, but I'd imagine they're longer there as well.
Or maybe that's just me and my taste for the 2011 considering I haven't watched the 1999 version. >_<
If you want my advice, go with the 2011 version first, since you'll be going there anyway for the Greed Island and Chimera Ant arcs, and when you're finished go for the 1999 version and check out the differences and see which one you think is done better.
MetroidPrimeRib

You can do either. A lot of people like 99 better for directing but 11 covers more stuff and I think they are both greatly directed and both look great. I would say to watch the first few episodes of '99 anyway because '11 doesn't do a great job on that part, but if you're going to go all the way you are gonna watch '11 anyway.

Guess I'll watch '11 first cause its the updated version and then watch '99 to compare.

Chimera arc is amazing .
York shin is my favorite , but chimera ant is awesome...so many moments in this arc .. it's flawed but awesome.

For me Yorkshin is the best and most consistent, but Chimera Ants holds the majority of the best moments in the series for me.
nintendoman58

The Chimera Ant arc has some of the best moments in the entire show yes, the problem is the pacing in the latter half is so slow and tedious that it kills most of the immersion for most people leading up to those moments. Thankfully those moments are masterfully done. So much so that they save the last part of that arc from being a total trainwreck.
It's still pretty bad, but it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

Studio DEEN is actually on the upswing lately, due mainly to Mamoru Hatakeyama/Shinichi Omata being there. He did an excellent job with Rozen Maiden 2013 and his Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju show looks to be even better. They've had some other interesting directors do interesting stuff in recent years too: Soubi Yamamoto (Meganebu) and Mitsue Yamazaki (Hakkenden). So DEEN isn't hopeless like they were for most of the 2000s.
Ah. The last thing I probably watched from them (but never finished) was the poor Umineko adaptation.
I did see gifs of the new Rozen Maiden and it did look pretty good. I just didn't know if it was consistent throughout or not.

I can't say I've seen the anime version, but manga Chimera Ant arc was a thing of sheer beauty, especially with that ending.
