suffers a 'power overload'. It may make everyone's mobile suits turn against each other. It's even worse if you've got any bits flying around.
Also I believe that Flit, if he got his way would have
killed all of his landing troops, destroyed the Luna Base and of course killed all of the Vegans with that Plasma Diver Missile he wanted to use so badly. Thankfully someone had sense and managed to minimise casulties on both sides yet still win, which is what you are supposed to do in the army!
Next Episode:
A possible fallout between our heroes? (Flit doesn't count.)
What? I'm not gonna let this slide. What Ghibli movie has a weak ending?

Jojo 11: Why did they change the opening song? I'm sad.

Diebuster 04:
Not surprising since it was heavily hinted but it's cool, I like the new look.
Fake. No one does that in Gundam AGE.

Sakurai should share his secrets with these people. Also Umakoshi is fatter than I was expecting.Director of Smile Precure doesn't look how I expected him to look:

Turn A Gundam Movie I: Earth Light
This made F91 look competent given how poorly paced it was, how much information was left out, and how it was edited. So much characterization lost too due to the need to include various action and events which is sad as that's arguably one of the strongest points of Turn A. At best it's something a fan could use to revisit the series in a shorter manner as you almost have to know what's going on already to enjoy this.
Friggin' gorgeous though:

And because Laura Rolla is requisite:
Arrietty, Spiroted Away, Ponyo for starters. I'm not saying its a really bad thing. The ending are just not as good as the rest of the film.

I didn't like Turn A Gundam. At all.
I don't know why but I couldn't get into the plot. Still better tha AGE though

No, it's too early in the day for it.
I've been catching up with Tamako right now, will get to it afterwards.
Madlax was okay. Skip El Cazador. Switch over to Gunslinger Girls. (.hack was best beetrain)
?? 3 movies are a majority? Studi Ghibli has 17 theatrical movies to its name (this doesn't count Nausicaa and Caglistro), are you telling me 9 of them have "weak endings"?
I also have no idea how you would classify any of them as being weak. Weak in what sense? How could a movie's ending be weaker than the rest of the film when the film itself would be incomplete without the said ending?
Spirited Away's ending was the only way to end that story. What would you have happen? She doesn't save her parents? And Ponyo? You can dislike Ponyo for being nonsensical or whatever but the ending was in line with the themes of the movie up to that point.
I don't understand. Do you really believe this or is it that you're spouting off critical nonsense?

Lol i knew you would hate them they are less present ( than in eureka seven ) but still useless
i disliked the first QB season the second is much much better !!
i think i like the song (opening ) a lot . i dunno why this theme song is stuck in my mind but i don't mind for now
A total shame.they focused too much on the dancer girl ( an mirmir ) but i plan to look closely at the rebellion artbooks very soon.
Nice trivia ..i will look into it
If mimir wasn't climaxing every 2 secs i might have liked her more ..
Even melona couldn't take it .. that's some power in there !!
Thanks for the tip !

Yuichiro Oguro. This is basically an album of him + people.
Oh there was a distinct lack of any meaningful amount of Tsuki no Mayu in the first Turn A movie. That qualifies as: some bullshit.
Hey!
Do it!

Best OTP from the show
Looks like things are really picking up now!
I'm more pissed about the fact that they literally recycled Dique's character, made him somewhat different, and then reverted him back to being just a flat-out Dique-clone in 1 episode.
This whole time skip thing is pointless to me, because every new cast they introduce is literally the cast from last arc with different names and MAYBE BUT PROBABLY NOT different faces. Drawing this show out for 70 years just makes it FEEL as if it's really as long, boring, and horrible as it must surely be to be one of the fictional characters forced to bow to Lord Flit.
Flit x Lightning is clearly a match made in Heaven at this point.
Hey!
!
I'm laughing because I thought the same thing last night!

the time skip is useless because the characters that remain between the arc aren't affected by the skip.. ( besides asemu )Before and after the skip they have still the same goal, bahaviours and sentences... worse is flit that goes from " the EU aren't Human " to " the vagan aren't human and must be exterminated " and finally " the vagan must die but i'm too old so do it for me , children !" ..
And don't get me started on zehart....

If they could keep the awful focus on the terrible loli as well as somehow extensively decreasing the opportunities to give those BABEL characters screentime, then this could really be really good. Andy is excellent as well as You. They are extremely hilarious and fit in so well, and PANDRA is starting to really feel like a family. I wish it would last long.

the one year timing, or perhaps way less since Andy will have to make a choice (hopefully not for BABEL's sake), and Hyobu's health? really make me feel uneasy and sad that this will most likely have an ungood end. Oh well, Ill just put it in the back of my mind and enjoy the ride
But aren't PANDRA the bad guys? Are you sure you're supposed to be rooting for them? How does that fit into your worldview?

I thought their position is noble, establishing and wanting to protect espers from cruel mankind. That doesnt seem bad.

So this is gradually getting better and better, I can see now that the "sakuga" rep this show got comes from this season. These two episodes are pretty well-done and have some pretty funny jokes too.
The show has turned into something relaxing and pleasant to watch, although that might be due to having spent so much time with the characters already. Akari's still the best character, but I'm becoming more fond of the rest of the cast too. Even Chitose with her one-note gags somehow feels better than in the first season.
I hope that Akari's sister continues getting screentime, and that I get to see some interaction between her and Chinatsu's sister, though I don't see it likely.

Wouldn't Flit just kill her and her race because they beat up Flit's second cousin?

Is that the Japanese Xtranormal?
They're genocidal maniacs, dude. The only reason they don't wipe out every normal they see is because Hyobu doesn't want to piss off Kaoru before she comes over to his side.

Neither PANDRA nor BABEL are bad guys in the ZKC universe .. Both organisation have a common ennemy and that organisation are the bad guys.. pandra is doing the "dirty" work and things you can not do by asking nicely. We should have a taste of "that" organisation in "THE UNLIMITED " very soon
So yes you can root for pandra.
Hyoubu knows that an open conflict between espers and humans will result in a doomsday. Hyoubu doesn't trust most humans ( very few exception to this rule ) but doesn't want to wipe out humans from existance

∀ Gundam: Called Turn-A-Gundam 01 (Because the title screen/eyecatch said so!)
This hat reminds me of the GAF logo Also I thought the MC guy was a girl for the longest time. Somewhat disappointed.
Steampunkdam! Quite an interesting first episode. Character interactions in this feel quite natural and the characters seen so far are pretty well written. I can see myself enjoying this.
How novel

Criminal really.
Everyone rooted for Lelouche and he probably killed way more people.

They Never ( PANDRA ) wanted to do a genocide they never planned to do a genocide. ... i dunno what cosmic is referencing to but I'm positive of my position since i'm up-to-date in the manga.
As i said , they are good guys that do the "dirty" work and are doing things that can't be done by normal means.
And there are bad guys in the ZKC universe , but that's not PANDRA... besides the goal of "the major" is nothing even close to a genocide.
PANDRA is labelled as terrorists because they are espers that belong to no nation and that they don't hesitate to bite when provoked. Espers are considered as war assets in the ZKC universe.
Hehehe
Probably that's how the girls would be if the show was real.
Psycho-Pass new OP must be one of the best OPs I've ever saw.
Black Lagoon 2
I've watched a fair amount of absurd anime before, so this may sound weird, but...I'm just not buying this show's premise. I mean, after one day-ONE DAY-with Black Lagoon, Rock not only sees himself as a pirate, but he also designs the plan to get them past the gunship. And it wasn't an absurdly simple solution that only somebody with a unique perspective could see, it was
Then Rock wakes up later asking, "Why am I here? What am I doing here?", only later to tell his ex-employer, "Like you said, I'm dead. My name is Rock, now." It's just...really? He's already this badass pirate,even though he was a businessman half a week ago?

They're labelled as terrorists because they have no qualms about killing innocent people alongside the really bad people they dispose of. Remember, Hyobu let a plane blow up because it was filled with normal humans. The guy may not always be portrayed in a positive light, but he is most definitely a major villain even if
Black Phantom
Hell, do you really think no innocent people died in the collateral damage of episode 2?

Wow, this show's been pretty great ever since it hit its stride these past few episodes. It sure can pull off some pretty serious stuff even if it likes to ham it up with the humor every now and then. Definitely one of the few shows worth checking out this season. Now they just need to give the dog some fucking teeth, jesus christ it's gaping maw is like some eldritch abomination.
