So I didn't hate this episode as much as everybody else. Maybe the lowered expectations reduced the impact.

However that ending is absolutely undeniably disgusting.

For real though, everyone watching JoJo without having seen the OVAs should check out the third ep of the '93 series. Great direction and much more visually interesting than the TV eps, the kind of thing you can mention whenever that strange question of best individual episodes of whatever comes up!


Omg my eyes! Someone censor that cigar!

Overall looks attractive and the action stylish. The music is kind of unfitting though, at least in the context of the trailer. Wish they went for something more jazz than dubstep.

Might just be wubwubstep for the PV.

Unless I'm mistaken, tsutchie is doing the OST? Granted it was my least favorite CD from the Champloo OST but it still gives me some hope.

Gangsta is definitely on my radar regardless.

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 18:

Ah yes, in deference to the pattern established in the previous few episodes Minako manages to stave off capture and is still an active member of the roster at the end of the episode. I assume this choice was made because it was realized how boring and dull things were without the other guardians or maybe it is because Venus is the favorite of the mangaka. Yea, I'll be honest, I am not a fan of the kidnapped Sailor Guardians subplot, either here or in the manga, dragged on forever and really added very little to the proceedings. The Sailor Moon R anime was wise in ditching this idea. On the other end of the scale, Mamoru continues to get character development that never really occurred in the first anime series and the topper is he actually gets a new attack to keep himself useful. This never happens in the anime and by this time Tuxedo Mask is reduced to the simple pattern of distraction and speechifying. The constant here is no matter what the incarnation Chibi-Usa is just the fucking worst. Also, the likes of Naru and Umino actually get screen time and lines, which is truly a sign of a thinned out roster.

Osaka Street Festa was really great. A cosplay street parade that hijacks basically two whole streets of like 6-8 blocks was amazing.

Will we have to wait an entire season for the protag to get a hold of himself ? I like the setting, CG looked bearable, will give it a shot.

Not watching but I hope it's a similar kind of improvement like with F/Z's second season.

Strike Witches S2 5
It is indeed a Lucchini centric episode. Her, best girl and the bland girl are send to Rome to buy supplies. Of course, in true Italian fashion, Lucchini proceeds to defraud the money. ^_^ This show really likes its stereotypes.

In a truly shocking development for this series, we meet a young girl with unexposed crotch. I call that progress.

Despite uninteresting premise, this was again a fairly decent episode. Music especially caught my attention, I'll have track down the last track they played here, really neat.

Awaiting first impressions now, because for the Wish Upon the Pleiades event that have just finished at the 'BLUE STAGE' (last of the day; http://www.anime-japan.jp/stage/rgb_stage/) it was earlier mentioned a special preview to be shown... did anyone see any new information for it?

I can see why this isn't being aired on any Japanese Television networks.
Right at the end of that PV it mentions the planned TV stations broadcast for 2016 too!

Great Teacher Onizuka 33

Well this was already one of the best episodes of the show but that hilarious bait and switch at the end might have elevated it even further. I knew there was no possible way of this ending
with Onizuka going away
but it still got to me.

With Miyabi getting some sense knocked into her, it appears the whole 3-4 class has now joined the Onizuka church. Curious where it will go from here.

Yes please. UWB has been good shit and Fate / Kailed has been surprisingly good from the get go and remained strong for most of the time.


I also welcome more Vivio to my world.

Donyatsu 1-12 END

Being a donutcat in a post apocalyptic Japan with little marshmallow mice tryna kill you for sustenance may be an existential hell to end all hells but at least there's a cool robot to fuck around with.

I can't think of something that's really similar. Also, don't know what you've already watched.

But here are some possible recommendations from Crunchyroll that I'd consider remotely similar in order of (personal) best to worst:
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun
The World God Only Knows
Nisekoi
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions
Oreshura

i recommend all of those.

Futurecard Buddyfight! Episode 62 (engDub)

Tears this episode but also joy and deep character interaction. Cant believe the world would turn against Gao Mikado all because of a game. Oh well, the mighty sun fighter will hopefully win this and bring down the Gaen financial group in the process (I just hope Team Darkness Masterminds dont get caught up in this!).
 
Just caught up on the latest episodes of Fafner in the Azure: Exodus.

I wonder why more people aren't watching this show. Production quality seems to have increased since the first show and the plot is interesting (to me at least). The latest 3 episodes have really picked up the pace in terms of progressing events outside of the island (especially 9 which featured some amazing scenes and lines).
