You just need one word for this episode: Wafuu~
Next season list time?
Dokidoki Precure
Railgun S
Will be watching the thread to see if there's anything else potentially worth picking up, but otherwise it's just those two, along with trying to get through the old Precures. Pierrot's impressions of Max Heart aren't exactly encouraging (especially as he's not the only person I know who didn't like it) but I'm going to have to watch it anyway. Got to watch them all.

SON OF A BITCH
A cautionary tale about the dangers of fad diets and anorexia. I'm half-expecting one of the next episodes to be commentary on Tamagotchi or something.

See, this is how magical girl shows should be like.
This post gets an F because there is no picture or mention of Luna's "fat Usagi" drawing.

Who's making the spring thread anyway? I imagine just posting the chart will be limited to shit seasons like this one.
why nobody in Korea isn't paying a kings ransom for a starcraft series of any kind I got no idea.
I mean fucking Abathor pulled a SAO episode 21
and blizzard got the whole "ickyness" factor right. He even reminded me (and I bet it was intentional) of some Otaku who sees "perfection in all things"

How the fuck can she draw that when she has no prehensile thumbs?
You just volunteered. Looking forward to it.
wait, huh? what's this post even about?
Smile, nod, move on.

She can talk. The fact that she can draw should be no surprise.

Hell no, that one time was enough for me. I'm sticking to single show threads.
Gundam 00 21
Saji Crossroads- Am I supposed to care? Is this the part where I'm supposed to care? Because I don't.
Setsuna F. Seiei- Stop saying Gundam at random points. It's dumb.
Patrick Coulisour- Modern Gundam Character of the Year.
Also forget this show. The only worthwhile character just died? Can't even say I want to see the end of the season now. I mean REALLY. You have ONE good character and you kill them?

Spring thread cancelled. We can all meet up again when Hito does the summer one.
Never mind how she did this; the question is, why did she do this? Other than to just be a total dick to Usagi for no reason. Which I guess is cool in my book.
Brazil.
Tough love.

Sounds more like you're doing it. Have fun!
Look at that face! It's a "u mad?" face before "u mad?" was even a thing.
Futari wa Precure Max Heart 41:
Well, this week's monster was a pterodactyl that launched missiles from its chest, so I guess there's that.
(uhh, S1 spoilerz I guess)

Crystal Millennium Usagi sent it back in time with Luna as a dire warning to her past self. Sailor Moon 2013 is going to focus on the divergent timeline not seen in the original series where Usagi doesn't regulate her diet and gains weight. FAT USAGI IS REAL. BELIEVE

I'm fine with that.

(Fresh Precure ending spoilz)
This is an awful awful commercial in terms of how it preys on dysmorphic body image issues but man if I don't laugh every time I see it :lol
(Fresh Precure ending spoilz)
This was an even shittier romantic copout than Love's non-confession to Daisuke at the end of Fresh. Fuck the whole Fujipi subplot, just fuck it all.

No, it's nothing like that.
Ok, it's not like I'm the best person to talk here, but there comes a point when you have to realize you need to respect yourself more. Stop wasting time on things you absolutely hate and stop avoiding things you absolutely love.

I find it weird that they acknowledged Usagi's dependence on Tuxedo Mask now when she didn't need anyone to solve the mystery of the Anorexic Gym, Luna's threat to rip her face off aside.
Ikuhara episode next. I don't know what to expect!
Jesus fuck those things are horrifying. The dangers of too much cute (cajunator I'm looking at you). This episode was also pretty big on animal abuse. And speaking of which, what happened to the Chanela Usagi bought? Did Luna eat it off-screen? D:

There's a new PV for Oreimo S2 on the official site, with a preview of the new ClariS song "Reunion".

Sounds pretty good, as expected of kz.
At the same time I guess it's worth mentioning they also announced an Oreimo PS3 game is in the works.

Fortunately, I can't think of another fifty-episode show that I would subject myself to in its entirety if I found myself despising every moment of it. This is essentially an academic (for lack of a better word) pursuit so that I can speak with the most authority that I can on the Precure franchise. I suppose that, if nothing else, I'll finally have a clearer understanding of why the things that work work due to this series being a fairly comprehensive exercise in total mismanagement of the tropes, themes, and narrative commonalities that are present across all entries in the franchise.
I think that a flaw of mine is that I find it far easier to put into words why I dislike something than why I enjoy something--sometimes I wonder, as absurd as this sounds, if I subconsciously seek out bad shows because I'm more likely to have something to say than I am in response to something that I enjoy. This is probably bullshit self-psychoanalysis because I don't feel like this is true of me, but who knows. I've admitted in the past to essentially no longer trying to make "good posts" because I'm vastly outgunned on my ability to apply educated interpretation and criticism and to what I watch, but I'd hate to think that I've sunk that low, hahah.
also I'm not fishing for "cmon madp you make plenty of good posts!" I'm just being honest about my slide into mediocrity.
I hope it's like that fan made game where the girls bounce around on those horses.

His cars were the best, just sayin'.
Easily the best episode yet, and I don't say it just because of my Ikuhara bias. The entire thing is different from the start-up, focusing on a lovestruck musician whose attempt to confess to his manager gets tangled with Jadeite's latest plot to suck energy out of the human world. The stakes feel therefore more personal than just whatever's the new fad middle school girls are into, and as a result you get the idea that this monster is actually a pretty fucking big deal --not to mention some of the composition accentuates her otherworldly nature.
The episode was still rife with Ikuharaisms too, culminating in a car chase scene that instantly reminded me of the CGI cars in Penguindrum and made me lament the fact that Ikuhara sold out too.
His cars were the best, just sayin'.P.S. Is that Usagi or Chitose from Goldfish Warning!? Creepy nonetheless.

Hito pointed out to me that the musician in this is none other than Norio Wakamoto.
While you do have a point, my personal experience in this matter forces me to think this sounds like cutting yourself to understand feelng.
The berserk adaptation is highly recommended, I loved it even though it was not a faithful recreation of the manga. I have not seen the movies yet but I am waiting for the new berserk to come out since they took out that horrible looking cg animation.
One thing I don't understand in Zeta is how well Char and Amuro get along with each other. I know they're life-long rivals but they get along fairly well and seem to really understand each other in Zeta. I wouldn't say they're friends but they definitely don't seem to hate each other.
