I hope he learned his lesson that time then.
Time for another character ranking!
Oh wow, is that what lines around the eyes is supposed to represent?
Yay another movie I will never see ;_;
From the New World 19
Wow wow, that was very intense. You could have cut the tension with a knife in many of those scenes. That whole bit with the door near the end really puts you on edge. Some pretty impressive animation this week too, maybe the most sakuga episode we have seen in the show thus far? The big blaze, the facial animation, that scene with the
. Definitely great stuff to look at this week.
. Can't wait for next week.
It's amazing how much better and consistent the show became after hitting that rough patch of 3-4 episodes so many weeks ago. I was not sure it could have pulled out of that nosedive, but it did and has been truly awesome since, outside of a few minor dips here and there.

karma demon writhing around
Speaking of the karma demon, I guess this is the guy Saki saw in her dream a couple weeks ago. Can't say I really have a good guess to put forth on his origins. Hard to tell whether the queerats are actually working with him, or whether they are just using the situation to their advantage

Question
Is it just an accepted trope that anytime the protagonist's idiot ally declares victory, the antagonist's side will get the upper hand?

Well he didn't even spare
buggy in the first place
stole most of his body parts then hit him so hard he sent him to an uninhabited island to die/suffer only 1/4 of a man
I can't imagine you watching an action/superhero movie in where the protag doesn't out right kill the villain.

Electra has always been the best girl, unless you're a fan of children. She even fills out the Misato roll perfectly or rather, Misato is a variation on Electra.
The first time that I watched the Arlong Park arc, I don't think that I would have felt any extra gratification had
Arlong actually died
Not only has Luffy's philosophy never really come back to hurt him, he'd actually be dead if he hadn't spared some of the villains he'd defeated. The Impel Down arc (which is essentially a gigantic prison infiltration/escape) is probably the best example of this as he has to release some of his former enemies just to survive, although it's strongly hinted that some of them will be future arc villains again.

It's not as interesting if you're not trying to watch RahXephon without subs.
Tamako Market 5
This wasn't a bad episode. The only real problems I had with it was the subpar scene direction during the second confrontation between Midori and Mochizou and the rather sloppy use of music during the firework scene. Normally I'd have a pretty big issue with the Main Lead being so underdeveloped as a character but I feel that the very large and charismatic supporting cast help compensate for this, most notably Dela whom certainly helps keep things pretty lively even if his gags are starting to get a bit tired.

I keep feeling that the 'drama' is going to blow up much more than it does and always dreads that it'll happen. I guess I blame LN adaptions for that.
As a fan of Digimon, I always enjoy the multi character transformations/evolutions so that was a treat. Them questioning about the janken as amusing as well.

And her character is?
No idea about that part. At least three characters I noticed had that same shading this episode: Hibito, Mutta, and Buddy.

Wait, I thought we were discussing waifus. Spending time in here has skewed my perception of things.
YESSSSSSSSSSS
I'm so happy! I thought the Shiny Fiesta OVAs were the end. This is going to be amazing.

I don't think it makes sense to call the 'non' serious episodes filler because they make up such a large percentage of the show. Non-serious comedy episodes are really the bread and butter of Gintama and the serious stuff is an unusual exception to the rest of the series. Now, of course, there is some very clear really filler as well which comes from the TV staff but that's a different matter entirely.
I really need to finish that lol.

This was a great release after the non-stop tension and rising action of the last few episodes. We get to finally relax and recover. The scene with Buddy and Freddy talking about Brian was great, as was the final scene with

I haven't seen Episode of Nami yet, but I think the original version works quite well. It's not like there was a huge amount of filler in it. It's short enough that condensing it down to something of that length is still possible, but it also worked very well as a short story arc in the TV series.

What's up with the lack of promotional or fan pictures for the next episode preview? Don't tell me... we at the island arc now?
Here's what I recommend and what I did on this occasion.
Watch episodes 30 and 31, and then 35 to the end.
Or sit through the whole thing if you love pain.

I've already tried to tell him that!
...and he just quit the show!
Well, here's the staff so far from the official site:
I think they said all the staff will remain the same though.

From what I understand Sentai, who are putting it out, are just looking to acquire/dub/sub as many shows as possible to sell their catalogue to the big streaming sites. Quality control isn't their first priority.

Lowered expectations certainly help. You have to consider I jumped on Nadia almost blindly knowing

Just you wait.
If they had any quality control they wouldn't be picking up Penguin Drum.

Futari wa Precure Max Heart 02:
Is the new OP lazy or amazing? Can it be both?
I don't know why I'm so bothered by the particular way in which the finality of the first season was retconned to enable a second season of this when I never felt particularly robbed of a lasting sense of accomplishment whenever some previously unknown new threat to the Crystal Millennium would crawl out of the woodwork at the beginning of each Sailor Moon season. I'm dreading just how fetch quest-y Max Heart is shaping up to be, but that shouldn't have any bearing on why I'm bothered by one "You thought you saved the world? THINK AGAIN" premise but not others.
Perhaps it's only because I loathed just about everything directly involving the Garden of Light and its characters in S1 and they're doubling down on that shit in Max Heart. Nagisa has like four mascots in her room now and fuck I just want to kill them all.

Mwahahaha! I can't wait for your final impressions.
You mean feel-awareness-of-the-transience-of-things show.
Ok, time to say this: Max Heart actually started ok for me. Overall it's the inverse of the usual precure quality curve.
This doesn't seem like a fair counter-point. Doesn't Sentai cheap out on everything?
Maybe Write in huge letters by that guy who made hito's favorite show?
I don't know guess hito would have a better idea on how to sell it.
By putting out a quality release that will appeal to consumers as something worth purchasing.
