True, her offspring should be some ultra cutie with blue hair.
Yeah that just looks awful.
You guys are just hating because she's afraid of men. Hmph!

Nah, she's the Yoshinaga (AKB49) of iM@S.
Rurouni Kenshin ep26
This pirate arc is really crap, I've seen this type of story done 10 dozens times or something before I've lost count, another one of these stories about a group of mercenary/pirates/thieves/outlaws who are lead by a supposedly fierce strong female but it turns out she actually has a fragile heart of gold and one of her subordinate plots to steal leader ship from her of the group cause his against being lead by a woman.
Too make it extra dumb this useless bitch goes all tsundere 6 seconds flat after kenshin beats her weak ass.
Episode 25-27 - The Red Pirate filler arc
I had a feeling this crap was filler right from the start but seriously there no excuse for filler for being this bad.

That didn't make Inami bad!
Ishida to Asakura 6
Not in this case it isn't. shit episode

That's because Inami's an actual character.

Such a great scene. I love that the two brothers were going to have this huge showdown and it was entirely prevented by a (seemingly) random monkey.
I saw this episode maybe five years ago, but for whatever reason, never got around to watching the rest of the show. There's a few things I remember (such as the scene above), but a few things I don't. Most noticeably, the music. It's really hard to go wrong with a really jazzy tone. It definitely gave off a sort of Bebop vibe from that alone which is obviously not a bad thing. The art was occasionally hard to follow in some scenes just because of how abstract it could occasionally get. I could see it being a turn off for some people, but it's my understanding that this is Masaki Yuasa's (very unique) trademark style. It sure was hard for me in the little I saw of Tatami Galaxy (A show that gets a lot of due praise around here and one I wish I enjoyed more), but I think here it's a bit temperedsimply because it's not coupled with the lightning fast, hard-to-follow dialogue.
I think this is a good first episode, story-wise. It manages to convey and effectively flesh out several big plot points without being largely conversation driven:

- Flesh eating monsters roam the world in humans skin
- There's a special group that exists to stop them
- They're not very good at it, but they refuse to modernize
- Toshihiko has a troubled history with a girl that makes fighting the monsters problematic
That's another thing entirely, and why you learn how to cook yourself lol.
I don't think that blowing would do much good for exposed bone and tattered skin.
Lots and lots of horse blood.

First half was a total bore, but for some reason I found the wacky love antics and bad Sanson and Hanson advice fun? Is this what they call Stockholm's syndrome?

You can't tell me what to do.
While you're wasting time taking plane trips to Japan, I'm experiencing true Japan with my SoLs.
This isn't the American dream. Who cares about white picket fences. 9 to 5 slaving away in a cubicle. I can be what I want to be and I want to be a self insert in a harem show.
People call me the Eternal Virgin and yet I've got a pure 2D waifu who'll never cheat on me and leave me in debt.
Who needs a useless degree when you can learn proper lessons like friendship conquers all.

Doki Doki Precure is just a bland show... and we're at the point where the tropes are just so bare that I don't even know if the show is making fun of them or just trying to unironically reproduce them.
Selfishness is still a stupid theme to work with (I missed my subway train! Now I will turn into a subway train and destroy the city!), the whole Cure Sword thing is so transparent, and the show just looks bland.
Like, why does the show do this?
In Smile, it was used for comedic or dramatic effect. In this episode, it's just extreme close ups for the sake of close ups.
Man, this just feels like such a downgrade. The Smile intro episodes weren't exactly breaking new ground either, but at least it was interesting to watch and have the cast of characters come together. Doki Doki doesn't even do that much.
Hell, even the transformations and the attacks are stupid looking. How do you mess that up?

This may be the greatest love story ever told.
You know... I think I'll give this show a shot.

Pretty much. It seems that Japanese companies no longer give a damn of reverse importation of DVDs, and the Blu Ray regions have been fiddled with such that the UK & Europe no longer has the same region as Japan. Hence, cheap anime blu rays for the UK while the US (which shares the Blu Ray region with Japan) gets screwed over.

So wait, Takane was police chief for a day...can they do that? Eh, it was honorary anyway, so I guess so. What made that so awesome was that it was all part of Takane's master plan to catch the paparazzi stalking her in the act. And then she grabbed him and threw him to the ground over her head like a fucking boss! Finally, an episode for Takane to shine in the spotlight. Wonder what her "home country" is, though. Still too much mystery around her, dammit! Though that's what makes her so cool to begin with. But I wanna know more!
Next episode, this show is finally-finally-show this whole deal with Chihaya they've been teasing for a while now. It better be good,

I know I too will be a Madao.
Matsudaira was awesome as always.
In the end bad CG future. =/
I like the style they used in the start of the episode.
This was obvious.

Sorry for the people watching Toradora, but Kagura>Taiga as long kugilolis go.

Taiga is a kugiloli, Kagura is a kugijou.
We should probably just leave the confusion as is.
Break the cycle. Break it!
No seriously, HeartCatch seems like it would be up your alley, I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet.

Yay. I really enjoyed this arc and how it tied into each of the club members.
Congrats on making it to the fun part of Kyouka.

Don't you mean making it PAST the fun part?
Doki Doki Precure 1-2
Some of this early going is sloppy, and the dialogue is silly, but I'm seeing some nice improvements this time around from Smile. Significantly better music thanks to Takaki's score(what's up with the sound mixing though?), the monsters are also a step up so far both in design and personality, and it seems like the fight direction and animation is bit better as well. There was a really nice hand to hand sequence in episode 2.

There's something about this that implies that Hyouka stops being fun after the festival arc and I can't understand why.

Nah.
Hyouka was fun from festival arc to the end.
Just pretend the first half doesn't exist.
I'm pretty sure I had fun with all the parts of Hyouka.
I have no idea why anyone says anything bad about Hyouka. Mysterious to be sure.
