Wake Up, Girls! is great. If you want fake idol bullshit go ahead and watch IdolM@ster. But if you want the real shit go watch yourself some WUG.
I guess I'm kind of an opposite - a stickler for main story and for tying any earlier introduced plot lines with a big red bow when the ending rolls in. It is all the more grating as the last episode focuses on finishished the Manticore plotline and revealed some crucial facts but it's just too little to late. The beginning of those events remains hidden from the viewer, Boogiepop remains an enigma too.

Please give me animu. If I remember correctly its that little sister that
ends up not really being related to the older brother lol
Too good... What was that shoujo of that girl that was an idol. She looked like a middle schooler.
Will look into this list!
It's not a spoiler. They're step-siblings from the start.
Also that anime is terrible. I shouldn't have watched it. lol

Well here I went in expecting three awesome fights, and I'm kinda disappointed with the outcome. I guess they're setting up for a major fight up next. Cool to see Threader again, he makes me think of Lost Sinner from Dark Souls II.

Funny how the reveal about Chiaya origin is done so casually. And then there's Kaguya and Momotaro inspired character in an episode about alien....
Macha green and Shigyo also back in the game, so i think there's a chance for some cool fight scene.

Oh man, reading is like hard and stuff, lol. If that is the only way to get the true conclusion to the story that will suck; I've really enjoyes it thus far. I'll have to look up the books online...

I'm on the third episode so far, this is an interesting one for sure. I'll have to watch for a little while longer to get deeper into the story for it to make sense
So UK based event Hyper Japan's tickets go on sale tomorrow. Now I know the thought of being in the same building as the weebs disgusts you but I thought some may be interested in the guests they have.

See, the link says talking about Japanese anime, rather than that other anime from Mars or something. Though it looks like it's not animators but rather the guys with the money who will be talking. Let's hope one of them isn't the one who canned series two of Mitsudomoe
Oh and there seems to be some idols too that you've probably not heard of because they are not fictional.

I been waiting for Woof Dog and Devil Ape to appear and they showed up like extreme badasses. The action was actually good, like real good holy shit. It was awesome seeing Woof Woof and Devil Ape destroying all these CCG investigators. When Woof Woof said die for me, that made me hyped as fuck. The music and the atmosphere in this episode was really on point, it actually made me feel sad especially on what's gonna occur. Also Yoshimura's speech was bone chilling and his Voice Actor was amazing. Ever since I heard that speech in the manga, it's been one of my favorite quotes in manga.
Like always these Ending cards are phenomenal, the art is exquisite. Props to the Author.
Yeah Woof Woof and Devil Ape!

Garis, the friendly likeable masked captain of the Daiku Maryu, is Ruru's father. He's also the guy who killed her mother RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER.
I can't. This reveal, guys. For a super robot show aimed towards kids, this is a dark freaking twist.

Wait, is the VA from Gurren (Yoko) the same one from SAO?
oh and "GATTAI"
what is that?
Here in Spain we got a very similar song for it, so I'm used to its "magnificence" (call it 'nostalgia'). :-D
I see... yeah, a shame as I think I was expecting a bit too much quality at that price point. The complete series edition from the local official digital disc publisher and right-holder for the franchise here, Selecta Visión S.L.U., is starting to look damn fine in comparison!
Many thanks for the confirmation, R_thanatos.

This is why you don't call people "useless" and destroy their self-confidence. It's a bit magic feather-y, but Miyabi's strength was inside her all along. What she lacked was confidence. Should've known the FPS guys were up to no good. An overall satisfying episode, on all fronts.

I'm only 25 episodes into Utena, but I've finished all of Penguindrum. I'm hoping for a very introspective final episode.

You know I cannot say I'm entirely against the actions of the girls of the school towards Kureha and the bears. From their perspective it does entirely appear that she has been helping the bear kills their lovers and classmates. I'm fully expecting her during the court scene surely coming next episode to wish to become a bear. I don't know why, it just seems like a logical outcome.

Even if true , it doesn't remove her usefullness in the first 9 episodes.

It certainly remains entertaining, especially in the 'da hell is this even?" department
I still think nothing of the story though. Color me thoroughly surprised if there ends up being an actually interesting interpretation to all this that feels consistent and well thought through.
Nigh everything in this anime is so far removed from reality that it'll be hard to draw parallels to real society unless every piece in the puzzle really has its place.

Kuma Shock - it's a cyborg bear!

I just think it's a very... utilitarian way to view people that leaves emotions out of the equation. Not really my way of assessing characters.

Yurikuma Arashi 10:
There were a lot of moments of genuine triumph in this episode, as we saw certain characters finally making some critical steps.
Assuming that Ikuhara can stick the landing (and I think the chances of that are pretty high given the excellent run the show has been on), I think this will be an early frontrunner for Anime of the Year.
This show continues to be really, really good. Lulu also further cements her status as the best character in this episode. I think it's pretty incredible how strong this show has been over the last seven episodes. The plot moved quite well again this week, and we also saw the themes of the series taking further shape.
Sometimes you have to be willing to give a part of yourself in order to fight for something important to you. This has been a recurring idea we've seen with Ginko and Lulu, and now it looks like Kureha as well will have to give something up. The picture book also points to Kureha and Ginko having to risk completely destroying themselves in order to be with one another. Compared to the other girls who just want to exclude everyone who is different than them, our three protagonists have to be willing to make sacrifices. The judges in the Court of Severance also seem like they're not completely in control of what they do, and even seemed to sympathize with Lulu even though they still had to return her to being a bear.
There were a lot of moments of genuine triumph in this episode, as we saw certain characters finally making some critical steps.
When Kureha saved Lulu and declared that she wouldn't let a friend be excluded, I really started to well up. It was an amazing moment, and the whole scene was directed very well. The Kureha/Lulu scenes all made the episode, between her inviting Lulu inside to clean up, their conversation, and the final scene when she tells Lulu to never come back. Kureha's feelings towards the human world make me think that she's probably going to leave it behind in some manner. The series has always on a fundamental level been about how screwed up our society is in the way that it excludes people for silly reasons, but perhaps the final idea will be that the only way to truly escape that is to leave the society altogether.
Assuming that Ikuhara can stick the landing (and I think the chances of that are pretty high given the excellent run the show has been on), I think this will be an early frontrunner for Anime of the Year.

Koyama really does love yellow doesn't he?
That bit reminds me of something from another show that I can't quite put my finger on.
When do you want it up?Do we have any volunteers for the spring thread or do I get to laze through another one?
I'd finish the simulcast schedule this time though. For real
I always loved seeing characters in their "off" hours. There's also a shot of Kaneki with white hair, laughing, which I thought was cool since it was a bit off-character.
Merge/Combine.
When the first spring shows start airing ideally. Might need to coordinate with moderation if this one wraps up early though.
