Another great episode, this season continues to deliver. Im not sure what Kasanes endgame is but Im intrigued every time shes on screen, got Celty all the way riled up .I also thought Varonas introspection throughout the episode was pretty good, dont think its too late for her like she seems to think. And the scene with Shizuo and the horse trying to accommodate him was funny lol. Wonder what will come from this Anri and Saki conversation next episode.

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon Stars: Episode 182:
I don't think I will ever get used to the fact that there is actual episode to episode continuity in this season beyond the bridging of the arcs. Speaking of which, a new day has arrived in Juban District and the next phase of battle has begun as we are introduced to two new lieutenants Sailor Aluminum Siren and Sailor Lead Crow to pick up the grand plan. Indeed they pick up exactly where shit was left off by enacting the typical plan of targeting random people because we have an episode count to fill. At least they provide an interesting dynamic which is more then I can say for Sailor Iron Mouse who was a bit on the bland side. We are also introduced to a new character, the truly awfully named Chibi-Chibi whom gained that named because she take like a Pokemon most of the time, more on her later. Also, this is a truly rarefied occasion as Sailor Pluto gets actual screen time and it seems like she has been hanging out with her teammates a smidgen too much as she adopt their particular brand of paranoia.

This season could have used one at least ;P
Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon Stars: Episode 183:
Wow, I haven't seen an episode this pointless since the dark days of Super S. The creative teams seems to have gotten bored and tried to combine Sailor Moon with Friday the Thirteenth and that works about as well as you would expect and we don't even have the satisfaction of having Uasgi or Rei chainsawed in half.

Maho Girls Precure! 01
Time to give another precure series a shot. Well it certainly has one of the better OPs and ED themes I've seen for precure in a while. Hopefully Mofu isn't the only mascot character.

Yep, it gave us oodles of idol shows instead. Thank you universe.

No.
lol Can't wait for GoB.
Dimension 5
This episode was either a convoluted, nonsensical mess or just 2deep4me. Warrants a rewatch.
They already exist? This season has Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm.

Arslan Senki - Ep. 19
After the last arc, that felt a bit like pointless filler, the story is finally back on track.
The show got a bit better lately and the fight scenes are better,too.
I also like Falangies new outfit, It's not a big change, but the old one just tried way too hard to be sexy.
The most side characters feel a bit pointless, though. Outside of the fight scenes, they really aren't doing anything.
Hopefully they will get a bit more screen time at some point.

Nobody is going to spoil it for you, so umm, yeah, watch the next 3 episodes.
Nah, it's better this way. Consider this, he could be looking at her and treating her as in object of affection and really making thing uncomfortable.
I hope so!
Im waiting for modern Attack No.1 aka give the girls team in Haikyuu their own spin-off. Think about it, their an even bigger underdog story than the guys team because they're supposed to be absolutely terrible and never practice. Then they get inspired by Hinata and co, start putting the effort in and boom spin-off achieved.
Plus we can get more scenes of the girls captain and Daichi flirting.
Who's with me on this?
Dimension W 5
So many wtf moments. It totally turned out differently than what I expected.
This Dimension W really seems like a weird place. Creating ghosts and possibilities... The biggest twist though was the identity of that bat girl.

Can at least this be considered a K-ON clone?
Has an anime airing in April I think.
I haven't read it, but I thought the covers looked way too familiar, as you can see here. http://niwakabike.blog.fc2.com/blog-category-2.html

That Rakugo ED is so good. My favorite this season, though I haven't watched nearly all of 'em yet. Erased is good, too, of course.

What part of the finale did you feel was a mess? It had so many strong connections with the rest of the show, and certainly wasn't nonsensical at any point. If there's any part of Concrete Revolutio that's messy, I'd say it's Jaguar. I liked his character focus episode in itself, but his story has little connection with the rest of the series and indeed stands outside it in a way.
Time travel is inherently messy too, especially when you've got the same guy living the same time period in three different forms with opposed goals.

The anime feels that way but I think the manga art looks much more appealing in general and has a different vibe at times because of it.
All that kissing near the 'medusa' scene for instance looked mostly just disgusting in the anime whereas in the manga these kind of scenes usually look equally or more erotic making for a more "I don't know what to think" experience, which I much prefer.

Yup, this was step one. At least it was done tastefully,

Really? It fits with the atmosphere of the show - a nice slow jazz instrumental piece, illustrations that show off the time period - but it's as simple as EDs get. It's too simple to rank among my favorite ED sequences, not as interesting as Hatakeyama's EDs for Sankarea and Rozen Maiden, or as interesting as the EDs this season for Haikyuu, Dimension W, or Prince of Stride Alternative.

I sorta appreciate it's simplicity and it just feels like such a good fit to the show. I especially like the slow pan out at the end, showing some of the major characters (I imagine this bit would be altered when we return to the current time). It also feels a bit more unique.
That said, I haven't seen any of the other shows and EDs you mentioned so, my statement was kinda pointless.

Haikyuu 18
Man, that game awesome. So much good moments and clutch plays, I love it. Especially when that song started playing at the final point.
Fumbling your service at the final moments is so relatable lol, all that pressure gets to you at some point.

Indulging parody on the outside, ridiculous fun on the inside. It uses the sugar-coated 'school club' theme just as a basis to give free reign for motor enthusiasm mixed with silliness galore (and I can't help but love Mr. Mimana's style).
MikeHattsu

So it's more about the motor stuff and less about the club life itself? Not a K-On clone then

But when you open the box, all that's inside is a cardboard cutout of the Ninja Slayer we see in the anime.

Majin Bone - 6-7
So using a Majin also partially bone crushes the user. Huh, I wonder how that's going to play out. I feel like those kinds of attacks are going to be a regular thing, so both the enemy and heroes relying on double-edged sword techniques like that should be interesting.
That and they look awesome.

Before Inferno Cop? Booo hisss!
Wrong decision. They should have come out a Nancy Lee/Yukano figure before coming a Ninja Slayer figure.

Ace of the Diamond Second Season Episode 44 The Best Fastball
The first minute was incredible, HaruichiKuramochi senpai best duo, wow.
Great game over all, I wanted more Osu Osu Osu sawamura style though. I love when the crowd does it.

I hope it has sound effects with all those iconic quotes, like YEAART and Wasshoi.

Quick question, probably off topic.
What is the anime character with the giant round stone head that looks like a derp version of the moon from Majora's Mask?

That's the guy.
Edit: okay, not a character at all, just Yoko Taro, the guy behind Nier and Drakengard.

It's a character in Neir as well though..

Bow down to a true pimp.

I don't remember the specifics of my criticisms, but it just felt very rushed, and the part where they help Jiro at the end was unearned. And I don't think they did the stuff surrounding Kikko very well either. It's not garbage, but I remember I felt let down by it.
Really? To me it was just technobabble fiction stuff about the super coil creating an alternate reality, and its inhabitants somehow deciding to go and murder people on the other side. Mostly exploring how weird and dangerous coils and the dimension W they derive their power from can actually be.
I still can't say I like the way the show handles Mira, since she has some serious and/or heartwarming moments, but there's also some weird sexualization of this robot that looks like a young girl that certainly creeps me out a bit. It isn't that I can't stand this kind of fanservice in general, but it feels really out of place in Dimension W.

I'm curious, has the female lead in Stride done anything other than ask what stride is (so the audience can figure it out) and cry about how boys can trust each other?
Has she done anything else?
Has she done anything else?
Not really. Prince of Stride's based on an otome game so she's basically the blank slate MC.
Actually, she is the blank slate MC. In the game she could end up with any of the guys, including some from other Stride clubs.
I agree. I'm a sucker for romance so I was hoping to get something from her that at least one other character can interact. Like the managers in Haikyuu!

That's really lame. I mean, I get it's based on otome game, but the show would be a lot more interesting if she was competing too.

I haven't watched the last episode, but she's basically scenery for most of the show. She just stands around and says nothing for long periods. Maybe she had some semblance of a character come through via the game's narration, but she's emptier than most self-insert characters in the show.
