Oh he's totally into her, he's just got too much to do with kicking ass and tanking names. It's a lot to juggle.

Yeah, I have the feeling I won't watch Season 2, but we'll see. Maybe I'll turn around part way through. I will say that I rather like the OP to this show. And While I think that the "Alleluia vs Hallelujah" part of his character is stupid, Hapishtim is otherwise on the list of likeable characters, along with Lockon, Haro, and Capt. Boobs McGee, who made the list for talkin' smack about the purple haired character of questionable masculinity when he smack talked her.
So I mean, they're not ALL Shinn, and I can survive stupid names. What I need to know is if the Char is good or not.
Domon is King of Swag, not Hearts. Like, seriously, is he Kamina's dad? He must be Kamina's dad. The capes would explain a lot.

It follows the shounen formula to a fault. For someone like me, that's totally fine but obviously not for everyone.
If nothing else, it's fun, but I can admit the major flaws it has like constant asspulls, poor animation, ugly CG fire, and an inconsistent sense of escalation. It does have its moments and there are even a few fights that I would say stand out as some of the better ones the genre has to offer. But for the most part, it's just a generic, poor man's One Piece starring mages.

It's a sitcom-ey slice of life about three girls and their friends. The one that immediately jumps to mind is Class 5-2, but that's not a perfect comparison.
Probably it's most unique feature, given the state of anime today, is that it acknowledges the existence of both genders. lol
Second OP is pretty great and you may find the first season's ending to be acceptable enough you don't feel the need to continue which is a wise choice if you make it.
The show's Char is fuckawful though. The shitheel Darth Vader guy in F91 was better than this one.

Nagisa and honoka have shopping plans but Nagisa's father needs something brought to him. Nagisa's little brother, Ryouta, volunteers. He's a little kid so Honoka and Nagisa follow him from afar.
I love the crazy evil lady's transformation with the hair bounce. Look forward to it every episode. Of course as Ryouta enters a building, the crazy villain attacks and its up to the Precure to save the day again. Which they do. and then Ryouta delivers the package to his dad. Another happy ending thanks to- PRECURE!
I love these things so much. Especially the Kuroneko and Kuroyukihime ones.

Oh my gosh I loved Slayers and NEXT. I did love Rezo. Poor guy. Xellos was pretty happy too. Love my old stuff like that. xD
Do you happen to have the image of the Kuroneko one?

Episodes like this one are super weird in retrospect, as they would only work in the era they were first aired on.
All that DDR5 and yet all it seems to do is make games for DTL.
Gyopi-chan X Shark-san is my new OTP. Second half was all about those Home Alone antics.

Thank you everyone for your Minami-ke thoughts! I will check it out soon. ^^
Awww, man. If both protagonist AND Char suck, I really will be rooting for Lockon the whole time. Here's hoping he doesn't turn out like Ryu.
GTO 2
Awww. This episode we learn Onizuka's inspirational reason for wanting to be a teacher. That's the fun thing about GTO. It's a comedy, and it can be pretty crass at times, but underneath that rough exterior, it's a nice story about a guy who wants to help kids not be the kind of screw ups he was.
I'm surprised you don't care for Setsuna. Thought you liked Heero Yuy and they're rather similar. Then again it might end up a situation like I encountered with Heero where I didn't really care for him until I understood why he was the way he was.
Also this one. Can somebody edit out the loop on top and crop it a bit?

GTO is consistently entertaining and the perfect example of taking an ordinary scenario and making it extraordinary.

I love everything.

Oh boy, I wondered why there was such a notable dip in the animation quality of this episode compared to all the others this season and it wasn't until I saw GONZO listed in the credits that suddenly everything clicked. Oh well, that didn't really stop me from enjoying this episode as it did something I never really expected it to and essentially used "foreigner" students at a school to touch upon racism in Japan and how even those that've grown up there still struggle with trying to fit in in Japans ridiculously conformist society. I hope we see them and the crazy airhead again.

This season is so bad I don't even want to watch any of my other anime at the moment. Maybe I'm just burned out.
So what you're basically saying is :Mari Okada.
Watch G Gundam.
re-watch Tengen Toppa

Poor nipples-kun.
That was a weird episode. Well, I guess Milky Holmes weird. So, a good episode.
I guess this is the end game for this season, a lard ending.

How you can fault her anyway?
Its just light novel soap opera... of course its very shallow if you analyze it with horse goggles. Its either you enjoy for what it is or not.
Backlog Season welcomes all refugees.
That show is so strange. Like stranger than the typical anime. Which makes it super strange.
Latch onto this feeling long enough and perhaps you can free yourself from this vile hobby.

Episode 2
It seems then that either all or maybe most of the PreCure shows have the idea of the lead heroine being surprised by the amount of power they have by jumping up really high into the sky in their first battle. Also, since I'm not SDBurton, I didn't really care about the momentary Containment Breach of the Garden or whatever due to the appearance of Tuxedoless Maskless, haha. While the general antics around the fight with Tsubomi running around were amusing at first it was maybe starting to drag on a little.
This episode also answered the question of who Cure Flower was. There really wasn't that much lead up into it so honestly the big surprise, if it was even supposed to be one, sort of fell flat with me. Maybe the shock value was somewhat further mitigated by the fact that I had already seen a similar plot element used in the first PreCure. When Tsubomi is talking to her grandmother after the fight, her character design kind of reminded me of an elderly lady type character you might meet in a Zelda game.
The general faces and antics were again generally very pleasing throughout but at times I felt some of the reactions were maybe a bit overboard for the rather simplistic things they were displaying their shock over. The fight itself was also quite entertaining to watch and well animated. Personally I also always liked the voice echoing type audio effect that happens when the girls are calling out the names of their super moves.
Lastly, I'm not really a fan of how the Heart Seeds are produced or maybe more accurately, where they are coming from, haha. That whole scene could definitely also make some viewers think of the whole "Buy our toys!" idea.
Overall mostly a fun time and I look forward to the next.

Hmm, I am missing some mecha from my life...
I've been in Backlog Season mode since Fall. I finished Nadia and got through more than half of Goldfish Warning! in a little over two months. You can't blame me for not trying!
And leave you all to your demise? I'm not that egocentric.
I watch 250+ episode of my backlog at this season, the best thing for my watching experience.
I watch less than half of those usually for the season to watch ongoing stuff.
Do both. You can watch the adventures of Kamina and Simon, then you can watch their father-in-swag Domon be a swag ass motherfucker.
How would you even be able to live off of that?
Who needs to pay rent when you can sleep under your desk?
"Home" and "quality of life" are such limited Western concepts.
Why would anyone want to do such a thing?
I figured it out! It wasn't from an anime, but a manga/manhwa: Shin Angyo Onshi.

I'm honestly shocked that anime isn't being farmed out to Korea or China more often. If it's good enough for The Simpsons...
They do farm out work to Korea or China... hence the Magi .gif.

By "more often", I guess I meant "all the time". Especially if they keep wanting to save money. lol
Thank you so very much! I really appreciate it. Kuroneko's so adorable.
