G Gundam also lacks new type fuckery that plagues most Gundam Universes

Tsukihi has the most hairstyle changes yet the least character development. What the hell Nisio? I'm gonna call this phenomenon the "Inverse Hanekawa."

Rosario + Vampire ep.1-3
OK, this is some monster of the week craziness right here, but I guess we need to meet the harem as the hijinks start to build up. lots of useless panty shots as they will in all the otaku checkboxes with the harem girls. This is trash, but it's been pretty fun so far.

Haven't been to Toonami in a long while. Shame on you, Kiritobread!
Now THAT'S how you do twintails, and not like others, ahem. Those giant eyes in that close up though look like "You don't say?" hahaha

I warned you.
Its kinda boring, so don't expect much better (though there are 1 or 2 episodes I enjoyed)
So the live action Death Note is supposedly going to be R-rated. Does it really need it?

Nope. Series is pretty tame. I guess the director want to ramp up the gore or something.

Why do people want to throw gore and bad language in everything. It just needs to be PG 13 cause death and accidents.
Hopefully it does well so we get Assassination Classroom USA Hollywood movie.

Ojamajo Doremi 51 (end):
And then all of that leads into the rest of the events of this episode.
The result is a fantastic episode, and a great way to end the series on. If there were no other seasons, this alone would still put it up there as an all-time great anime.
There are very few anime that can be as consistently touching, heartfelt and genuine as Ojamajo Doremi is. The show possess a certain thoughtfulness in its writing that goes beyond what almost any other series possess. Pretty much all of the characters are extraordinarily well-developed, not just the main cast, but the entire class. The show possess the sort of genuine emotion and world-view that kids shows really excel at.
Why is Ojamajo Doremi better than your favorite anime?
1. The characters:
There are no bad characters in this show. Everyone, from the main characters, to their family members, to the rest of the class, to even just characters of the day, are extraordinarily well developed. They all have defined personalities, they all grow, and they all feel genuine. As a result of this, the show can do episodes that rely on your attachment to the characters already existing. The stories are able to get better and better because you already love the whole cast. Many aspects of the final episodes only work because you have 50 episodes of caring invested already.
I would say that most of the secondary characters are better developed than many shows main characters are.
2. The backgrounds:
There's only so much to say here. This was Toei when they were at the very top of their game in terms of background art, and Doremi almost never disappoints. The show has such a gorgeous art style, that combined with a great color palette, makes for some truly breathtaking backgrounds. Pretty much any scene in the show can come alive just based on the gorgeous scenery.
3. The expressions:
I don't know, some guy named Umakoshi or something?
Seriously, the facial expressions in Ojamajo Doremi are out of this world. Even if no other element of the show was particularly memorable, it would still be a pretty good show on the strength of those alone. They give so much personality to the characters, and bring a number of scenes to life.
4. The music:
It's amazing
No really
I mean it
This show has amazing music
If you haven't watched Ojamajo Doremi yet, what are you waiting for? Seriously, I would say that this show should be considered essential viewing for anyone who is a fan of anime. It's just such a consistently strong show that it's really something everyone should experience. There are few shows of this caliber out there. This would be something that I have no problems saying elevates the medium to the highest possible level.
Both are good, but the dub has one of the greatest delivered lines in anime history.
I am speaking, of course, of "It's just like my dream. EXCEPT THIS TIME, I'M A WONDERBUG!"
Well, this was a fantastic way to end the first season of the show. The final run of episodes here was a great arc for Onpu. In Episode 48 she finally takes responsibility for her actions. Then in Episode 49 she uses her magic to help someone, and sets into motion the chain of events that leads to this, while also simultaneously realizing that she can rely on Doremi and the others for help. Then in Episode 50 she joins Doremi and the others in saving a life even if it means failing the exam, and finally here she makes a selfless decision that nearly costs her everything. It's a fantastic arc, taking a selfish character and gradually having her step up and become a good person.
And then all of that leads into the rest of the events of this episode.
Doremi and her friends have to make the decision to give up their magic in exchange for saving Onpu, something that can't be done lightly, but they don't complain about it. Majo Rika also has to choose to give up on returning to her original form because she wants to support the group in their decision.

Oh, it's fun. I never understood why Shuffle is so well known. This one is right up your alley in terms of fun and hilarity.
No, that's weird.

And now think that the first season is broadly considered the weakest one by most people!
Grimgar - 7
The slow build up in both their battle experience and relationships is great, it's just a shame that 13 episodes isn't enough for me to be able to really recommend it. But still what it does so far has been great to watch. Seeing Mary slowly opening up to the rest of the group, the group getting ready to
and Haruhiro developing into a more competent leader than Manato makes for an enjoyable show.
It's just a shame the thing I like about the show is what is going to go against it when it finishes, a feeling of "Is that it?" Might change my mind in the unlikely scenario a second season happens. Oh yeah, episode had my favourite piece of artwork so far with Haruhiro and Mary back to back, who's done the illustrations for the ed/op?
Dimension W - 7
Well after last week's episode it's great to have an episode that is pushing the plot forward. Kyoma's past is tragic and gruesome
with some big events coming up on Easter Island too. My only real worry is that the

someone dying is one thing but having their head blown off too
Collector's introduced in this episode are all going to be dead within a few minutes in the next! Oh yeah of course Steve Jobs is the ruler of the Earth, I wonder if Bill Gates had any anime appearances like this in the 90s haha.

Yeah. They take a few episodes to gather the party before moving onto some more substantial stuff.

This week episode of Sekkou Boys wasn't as funny but the fact Keiji Fujiwara was there made it wort it, He is without a doubt my favorite voice actor.

He seems like he voices the same type of character in the shows I like that he is in, didnt know he had such a long tenure.

Steins Gate 1-3
Finally giving this a go. I have the utmost faith that this will be a good show but these first few episodes were pretty boring to get through.
I knew nothing about this show aside from the fact that its about time travel. It seems like Kurisu is the only sane human being on the cast. The art style is also a little weird sometimes as some characters look too lanky.
I guess Okarin is what you would call a chuuni?

Prince of Stride Alternative - Episode 7
Pretty funny training episode. The Saisei training grounds are pretty crazy. We even got hot ping pong action. I wish the series focused more on the girl though. I would have liked to see the episode show more of her learning to be a better Relationer, even though the training antics with the guys were funny. The one thing I dislike about BL themed storylines is that the female lead is always so invisible...

I missed all of the G Gundam talk.
Ended up dropping this one after around 4 episodes. Found it to be pretty boring. You might like it though.

The setup for this show is very long, but unfortunately it's very necessary. Please be patient until things kick off!

You know, I wish more anime was set in space.
All we have right now is Gundam.
And maybe Kiznaiver next season, with it being a Trigger show.
I guess Terra Formars sort of also counts, which might be the most depressing thing I've realized all day.

That's a weird thing to ask for since tons and tons of anime are set in Space already.
Also I think that MuvLuv Schawrzwhatever is set in space but lol MuvLuv

The anime staff have actually stated that they intentionally changed the lead character from Sakurai, as it was in the game, to Riku in the anime. So giving Sakurai attention doesn't seem to be high on their priority list.
Sounds like you need Wish Upon the Pleiades.
Nope, that's set in Japan (barring any unrevealed setting shifts). You're likely to have better luck with Space Patrol Luluco.

Gundam isn't set in space anymore. They made landfall on Earth two episodes ago.

Will do! Its been on my list for a long time now, so I plan on seeing it through.
Well, this episode had Joseph Dio and AC/DC all present. So it's a good episode.

Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm: 7
This episode was a bit too melodramatic on Misaki's side, even though it's understandable why she is feeling a little inadequate after Asuka's performance but still didn't expect it to play out like that. And the teacher's side of things seemed foolish.
Also Masaya barley has any presence, yet he is suppose to be the MC, at least I think. He's suppose to be the coach too but he hasn't helped much.
