That's hilarious.
I'm pretty sure your theory is wrong.
If you listened to her speech you would know that people NEED to believe that these special types of people don't exist and that the system is absolutely perfect. In order to avoid that these special people need to disappear. They wouldn't let them roam free on the streets. She might indeed know Shougo but as for Touma being Shougo or him not really being gone, I doubt it.

Now imagine it in terms of scrolling niconico comments.
Sword Art Online should have taken a similar approach. It could have been "The glop that shook the world".
Ah! My Goddess 43
The random stuff that happens to Marller in this episode was hilarious as hell. First Banpei blows the shit out of her again. Then The Fucking Who (or some Who cover band who stays in character even when they're out on a stroll) bashes their instruments on her. Then random shit falls on her as the French fairy dude keeps sneezing. Then Banpei the shit out of her again. She is hilariously incompetent. Becoming manager at the convenient store really is all she can take pride in at this point.
Then Hild devises a plan to capture Belldandy by making a pot that traps you if you kiss it look like the cutest thing in the world to each people. For instance, if Chet Rippo came across it, he would see Mio looking totally moe. If cajunator saw it, he'd see...frankly he's seen so many cute things I don't even know what would show up. They manage to trap everybody except Belldandy. What the hell were all those people doing at his house anyway? How did Chihiro even know where he lived, anyway? But Belldandy is able to resist, and ends up accidentally saving everyone. Hild punishes Marller by putting her in a fighting game and having her subordinates (who, by the way, Hild was cooking earlier) beat the shit out of her.

I can't believe it either that was hilarious

To Aru Majutsu no Index
Now having watched To Aru Kangaku no Railgun being an excellent series and a spinoff to this one at that, I dived into this with high expectations, and left a little disappointed but still interested.
In the end, Railgun > Index, but the universe that it established is enough (I think) for me to be invested in to continue in watching Season 2 (plus the upcoming Railgun sequel!)
Now having watched To Aru Kangaku no Railgun being an excellent series and a spinoff to this one at that, I dived into this with high expectations, and left a little disappointed but still interested.
My main gripes with this series is the lack of character development and disconnected story arcs.
With the two main characters of Touma and Index, I saw no development throughout the 24 episodes, if there was it was very little. From the beginning Index was attached to Touma and at the end, still attached. Touma on the other hand stayed as the same dude and it became repetitive with each villain he had to save someone and make a heartfelt speech. The only character I believed that had actual character development was Accelerator and that took only 2 episodes!
As for the multiple story arcs, they're very disconnected compared to Railgun. Where in Railgun you had multiple arcs hinting at the final one in the end, the arcs in Index was literally "beat a villain, move on to the next!"

Psycho Pass 13
Projectile vomit moe. I want to post that picture with the girl throwing up on the cat but I'll refrain I guess. Technology in this world is stupid. They can plumb a persons mind for visuals from their memories but they don't attach cameras to their police guns or use them for police work? There were some "big" revelations but they were without much value or merit, so it's kind of whatever. Because the episode hinged on them mattering the whole thing was sort of shot.

Well I hardly have 2 hours in a row, but maybe I'll cut it in small pieces and watch in 3/4 times.
Being alone doesn't necessarily means being wrong. Anyway, count on me to complain after I saw it.
I love to complain.

Naruto Shippuden 296
Finally after weeks of filler were back to the main plot. The broadcast in the beginning I could do without, though I did laugh at Sakura's interview. Seeing Naruto's attacks animated was nice but they were still all pretty dumb, yet powerful, versions of rasengan and rasenshuriken. Thankfully we got some action vs the Kages which I'm looking forward to.

That's no excuse, considering all the successes that have aired in the infomercial slots.

it feels like something's missing .. hopefully the whole setting of the show won't be the school.
it feels like they are bursting all the stéréotypes out of the way first so they can tackle "new stuff" later.

Kotoura is really a nice character. This episode was a nice watch but i don't feel like i'm satisfied with the way the characters are.
I wonder what the 2 guys have as painfull memories..

Really? I think it's too cutesy at times.

I know isnt it so cute? I asked about it earlier too.
Thats probably truer than we want to believe.
I went back and re-watched that skit like 3 times. Still funny. :lol
It airs after the infomercials.
You're more likely to find broadcast test patterns rather than anime on during that time.

We've gone about 5 episodes now with Yayoi and I don't think I've heard a single "Un Un!"
Girls und Panzer sales make me
Shin Sekai Yori/From the New World sales are really disappointing though.

Wow, I was expecting to dismiss this show as something similar to GJ-bu, but it's been pretty interesting so far.
Only thing is, I wouldn't be surprised if the dynamic nature of the first two episodes quickly powers-down and it turns into a mild-mannered episodic comedy ala My Little Monster.

Well. It introduced Kate which was awesome. Retreading the same ground of yozora and sena reading out stuff from a game/book/anime though was a waste though.
First watching of anything in about a week.
Smile Precure 46 - So much in this ep, and it was great. Fights, plot movement, the lot... although recycling one of Fresh's big final section BGMs just managed to make me want to watch the last 5 or so eps of that again too, seen as I only finished it for the first time a few weeks ago. Only just starting to hit there's only 2 episodes left of this, considering it's the first Precure I've watched while it was airing after getting into the franchise around Ep5 it's going to be really weird without it to look forward to every week.
Tamako Market 1&2 - Wasn't going to watch this
but it being fairly well liked in here gave me an excuse, and I actually ended up really liking it. Didn't find anything to really dislike - the bird was... interesting, funny providing he doesn't take over the whole show and actually lets the other characters get plenty of screentime.
Robotics;Notes 13 - At least squashing the whole of Chapter 6 into one episode (it was probably the weakest chapter in the game anyway) meant they seem to be giving Chapter 7 the two it needs. The first of the big plot chapters got handled pretty well, the characters are still great as they should be. Music's still forgettable though, and I wish they'd actually let you hear or see the content of the Kimijima reports instead of just flashing them up for a few seconds and then that's it, but oh well.

Just how the different mediums end up translating to anime, I guess. Index is a very villain of the volume light novel, especially earlier on (it's not until series 2 they start having two volume long story arcs), whereas Railgun as a manga doesn't really have any constraints like that, and the second of the anime is original material that isn't in the manga to begin with. It's definitely an issue though, as is
Touma's lack of character development. I like him and all, but as far as male characters in the franchise go I found Accelerator a whole lot more interesting (even though I didn't like him at all at first). Crazy, yes. But interesting.

Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East 2
There are so many pairs in this show, I guess the combo they have of the characters harboring some god and having a companion and then some other partner character makes it really interesting. Shino is hilarious
. Rio is good, Genpachi has potential
and then with Kobu. Rio and Kaname leading in the looks department but Kaname is funny and needs more time. The standoff scene was probably the best moment if only Sousuke didnt interupt.
Really good.

though how old is he if he has had it but it has stopped him from aging, though he still seems childlike until he launches that power and he gets all epiciss
if he can be freed
Though how did he lose his memory and I wonder why they are keeping it secret from him, and on that same line, for the Hamaji too
Really good.
I always wanna just get into the action. There's some i'll always watch like TTGL, Hidamari, or Rinne's, but if i'm marathoning something that's 12 episodes, i'd save nearly an entire episode's worth of time when I finish, and that's just putting them both at 1 minute each.
I'm weird when it comes to time management though, so I always feel like I need to max out and optimize my usage whenever i'm doing something and for me OP/EDs fall into the category of being able to cut out.
Not to mention a lot of them don't have good music most of the time, and if the music's boring, I don't wanna watch them.
Hell yes.

I doubt that. The drama looks like the main meat of the show instead of the other way around. There will probably be an episode every now and then thats mostly light hearted comedy but there's way too much going on here to sweep aside. This show's strength seems to rely on putting characters in bad situations and then extracting emotion and hnnngh from the audience. AND IT FUCKING WORKS.
I don't even get this.

Yeah, it's more of just a general state of being. Laputa is better than most things.
It's an analogy. I suppose if you wanted to write it in a more SAT-proper form, it would look like
duckroll : Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai :: RurouniZel : Sasami@Ganbaranai
Basically, similar to how Chuuni repulsed duckroll to the point of dropping it, so did Sasami-san repulse RurouniZel to immediately drop it as well.

Sailor moon 35
When we last left off, it was just revealed that
. As Usagi
, ZOicite attempts to attack her. She's like Bitch, please and deflects the beam effortlessly. I like this new Usagi already.
Kunzite spares the Senshi but teleports away with Zoicite, taking Mamoru with him.
Back in their lair,
because she's a horrible bitch.
Kunzite obliges.
Back with the Senshi, Artemis lays the whole story out.
However, somebody overturned the apple cart and the evil spirit returned.
The senshi realize they must fight this force in the present to restore order. Sailor Moon does her cowardly thing again and Mars quite literally slaps some fucking sense into her because thats what needs to be done.
The senshi find the exit with the help of Mercury's computer. Kunzite confronts them before they can escape.
Meanwhile Sailor Moon looks out over the ocean through what remains of the tower. The senshi thank her for being useful for a change.
I agree normally, but sometimes I just can not bring myself to skip an OP.
When we last left off, it was just revealed that
Usagi is Princess Serenity. The Senshi witnessed her transformation along with Mamoru
kneels besides the wounded Mamoru
Her tears awaken Mamoru, who suddenly remembers that he is Prince Endymion. suddenly a flashback to the pair standing before a palace aflame. endymion draws his sword and charges toward it as Serenity screams. Back to the present, Serenity utters endymion's name before turning back into Sailor moon and collapsing.
Back in their lair,
Queen Beryl says that ZOicite has failed. Kunzite tries to take responsibility but Beryl fatally wounds Zoicite anyway
Beryl beckons Queen Metallia's spirit forth using Endymion.
Zoicite says he loved Kunzite and wishes to die beautifully in his arms.
Zoicite says he loved Kunzite and wishes to die beautifully in his arms.
Back with the Senshi, Artemis lays the whole story out.
The Princess is from the Moon. There was a peaceful kingdom there that prospered until an evil force threatened to destroy the Earth. the Senshi were created to fight this force and return peace. When the spirit was banished again, the girls were brought to Earth to a time when they could live out normal lives.
The senshi realize they must fight this force in the present to restore order. Sailor Moon does her cowardly thing again and Mars quite literally slaps some fucking sense into her because thats what needs to be done.
The senshi find the exit with the help of Mercury's computer. Kunzite confronts them before they can escape.
The Senshi approach him one by one but their attacks do nothing. they are all defeated. Unconscious, they express their faith in Sailor Moon to fight Kunzite. She uses some of the silver crystal power to send Kunzite back to Beryl's lair. Beryl still has some sort of plan for Endymion.
I agree normally, but sometimes I just can not bring myself to skip an OP.
