It'd just be a false OT4 like the last one that I don't clearly remember. Best to reel it in now and just start fresh in the spring.

Are you gonna watch DoReMi next?
I really don't know if somebody doing a 47-episode hatewatch is deserving of pity or respect.

It's clear now that the end of this show is not going to come close to its peaks, and I'm OK with that I guess. It's still a show I deeply enjoyed watching. As for the episode itself, I mostly enjoyed it. Animation and direction were, in typical SSY style, all over the place. Moments looked quite pretty, but the episode was marred by a lot of ugly design and strange directorial choices. Pacing was off as has been typical of late.
The story is getting wrapped up in a mostly straightforward way. Honestly, this was both a positive and negative for me. There are aspects I felt were quite clever. The way they handled how
. While it's not exciting as the theories being thrown around on the forums, I was surprised how much sense it made. Other than that, the episode was mostly just fine. I'm really interested to see where it all goes. They've got a lot to wrap up in a single episode. I'm not sure they can pull it off. Even if they don't, I still think overall the show was some of the most fun I've had this season.

Anyway, I still haven't got any idea what the story's format is, but if it's just about them meeting new people every episode and helping them then I'm fine with it. I also really love the music. Oh yeah,
What's wrong with your face?

maybe it's just me, but I didn't like what the old lady did by taking their picture and winning the contest. Just felt like an asshole move to me.
Hate to disappoint but Splash Star is the next stop on the line. I only plan to follow five or six shows next season, so I get a second backlog season devoted to watching good things!
Even if I'm hating it, it's not a hatewatch. It's more a mix of self-imposed challenge and detached interest in the content of the series regardless of quality; all of the hate is incidental.
Even if it was a hatewatch, I hatewatched Bleach for several years so this would be nothing anyway :lol
So hatewatch is something you watch to torture yourself and fuck with your mind, and what you're doing is just watching something you hate but generally remain completely uninvested in what's going on and you're watching it just because you can?
Hatewatch sounds more fun, to be quite honest.
Pink Data Girl #01 Who watches anime in 220p anyway!?
Well, this could be interesting. Or not. I don't know what to make of the protagonist and her voice.
It's apparently based on a novel (based on a Japanese mytho...), but it's only 12 episodes, hopefully they can adapt the whole thing.

Steins;Gate-2
Rintarou is my new favorite character. I love this show so far.

Reccoa on the Jupitris?
Nope, past that. Half Moon Love.
Oh her.
Essentially, yeah, although I assume that the term means different things to different people. It's basically impossible to hatewatch Max Heart because of how rigid the episode structure is from episode to episode; it's bad for the very same reasons in any given episode as it is in any other given episode, so it lacks the diversity of terribleness and escalation of terribleness necessary to sadistically enjoy a really bad show because that kind of viewing experience thrives on the constant feeling of "did that seriously just happen?"
I'm a retired hatewatcher myself and it's somewhat frowned upon to actively encourage the practice in AnimeGAF now, so don't think that just because I'm discussing it that I'm still a huge proponent of it. As perpetually behind as I am on seasonal anime, it's just an obstruction to my staying current with other shows now.
It's not entirely a worthless proposal as it's nice is if at least one person can articulate the flaws or strengths of a particular show most opt not to watch.
Then why are you 39 episodes deep into a show you dislike so much?
Sorry, I don't mean to sound accusatory or anything. I'm just curious.

Futari wa Precure Max Heart 40:
So, we know about Nagisa and lacrosse but her brother plays badminton? Sports hipster family total.
Well, consider that I've normally followed ~15 shows in any given big season. Not trying to begin list warz, but I'm pretty much sticking to the following in Spring:
Aku no Hana
Chihayafuru S2 (cont'd)
Dokidoki Precure (cont'd)
Majestic Prince
Oreimo S2
Shingeki no Kyojin
Suisei no Gargantia
And I'm fairly certain that's the lowest number of shows that I'll be following in a season in several years. I'm definitely going to have time for Doremi, and hopefully enough to finally start Gintama like I've been planning to do for a year now.

She's also apparently part cat as well.

No, it's a good question. I was speaking generally, but in this specific season I'm not watching enough shows that marathoning Max Heart has impeded my ability to stay current with other programming.
This is true, but I'm proof that you can take the role of coal mine canary too far. I can't believe that my longest post in AnimeGAF is a rant on the Arcana Famiglia finale. smh misplaced priorities

Little Busters! 23
Probably the least amount of things I have to say for a Little Busters! episodes, but it was so good, really enjoyed this conclusion to I guess the Kud arc, especially 99% of everything once the climax was reached.
Worst part which was just plain odd for the whole thing was

Everyone's voices reached her and then Riki, through some power, allowing her to get the gear to break the shackles that bound her, freeing her of her past and releasing all inhibitions in her life. All my happy tears.
Worst part which was just plain odd for the whole thing was
nekkid kud, I didnt understand how she ended up lacking clothing while still having her jacket and whatnot and then standing there with it wide open nekkid on the cliff...
It's better than becoming a pariah for liking something universally hated!

Driving a minibike (or whatever that thing is called) on a rail over typhoon flooding to get a pregnant cat to a vet. Fuck yeah. Though they probably should have given them over to a shelter or something instead of letting the preschoolers (who sound oddly similar to the kindergarteners in South Park) take their picks at them.
I can't help but laugh every time Ken talks. His English voice actor hams it up so much. The dub is actually helping contribute more than anything to the sort of cheesy 80s cop show vibe I'm getting from this show.

I guess the staff is limited by the limitations of the source material and thats why this ending arc is concluding in just a really standard manner. I think it stays on the path of most stories in fantasy in which they just cant end in any interestingly innovative manners and often are anticlimactic.
Satoru was epic, Shun's voice as well, and I loved the big moment.

ie Psychobuster being essentially a silly plot device tossed aside just as fast as it was introduced. It kind of makes this journey feel like a waste as this whole final showdown could have been done and would have worked better in their home village and fields, I think. Kiromarou's deceit and human domination plot could have worked better than just a history point and would have been rather shocking if he had turned on him.

Mirror scene was good.
Oh, speaking of Aiura... I guess never posted this here: the 5 minute show is being directed and written by Ryosuke Nakamura, director of Jex's beloved Mouryuo no Hako.

Ahh, so it is five minutes after all. Guess my assumption based on the OP/ED singles was wrong. Ah well. Here's hoping Yuyushiki turns out to be full length, at least.

Futari wa Precure Max Heart - 01
So after taking what felt like a month long break, I decided it was time for me to get back on the Precure train. I do appreciate that they took the time to update the transformation sequence among a few other things, but after reading Mad Pierrot's impressions about this second season so far I know what to expect moving forward. While I am a fan for new/upgraded special moves, their 'max' version Marble Screw was overkill to the 10th degree.
Welcome back girls.

Well, at least I'm not the only one interested in watching it.
I... completely disagree. There seem to be a lot of variety this season, especially compared to the last one.

It's a silly and funny show but funnier than Nichijou?! I felt RS trotted out a lot of the same pervy jokes over and over and it kind of fell flat after a while. Say what you will about Nichijou but you can't say it didn't throw enough curve balls to keep it fresh. For me the best part of RS was the world and characters rather than the humor, though the jokes definitely get you hooked in the beginning.
Oh man, did the cafe even have a pun name in japanese? Localizing extra puns in the english version is amazing, especially when it's this cheesy.
Don't count it out though, Senyuu is pretty brilliant for a 5 minute show after all, it could still be worth while!
and all this talk about hatewatching and I can't think of anything that I intentionally did that with. The closest is Code Geass but I was legitimately interested in that at first, it just turned into this train wreck that I couldn't stop watching.
You know, I think that we all like something that everyone else hates. For me, I guess it's Inuyasha or one of my wonk series like Real Drive or Twenty Faces.
I suddenly have the urge to set up an animegafconfessions tumblr.
I'm a poison on this place.
