In that case, maybe Oreimo might manage to escape all of the production issues that the shows this season have. All of the A-1 shows are ending and I can't think of many A-1 shows for next season.
Lol, I'm sure people would rather have the show be something else than Oreimo though. :V

Smile Precure 23:
A very nice end to the arc, though I felt like it was a tad cramped into one episode. Still, allowed for more money for the fights.
And the upgrade, well, the whole sequence was beautifully animated. That said, it's like Sailor Moon meets Saint Seiya?
HOW DARE YOU HIDE THIS FOR 23 EPISODES!!

Either way I said goddaaaaaaaaamn!

This was easily the best-animated episode of the entire run (suck it Beauty lovers). The only problem is that the animators abused the fuck out of the flying Pegasi.

Why is it always the evil girls with the giant boobs?

Romanes Eunt Domus
It's a show for little girls. Obviously big boobs are a sign of the evil, cynicism, treachery, and manipulation abused by the adults.
Space Bros and Gyrozetter aren't ending, A-1 also has Uta Prince 2000% in Spring, and they are making the Saint Young Men movie and the Idolmaster movie. Less shit than they had in the last few months, but that's still 4 TV series and 2 movies in production at the same time. Not to mention stuff which have not been announced yet, but are probably in production now.

Steins;Gate episodes 1-6
Pretty interesting show thus far, though a bit slow. Does the pacing ever pick up or should I just get used to it?
Cell phone girl (Shining Finger) is annoying.

[Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon] 008
Precure Soldier is finally here. And man, does she blow Moon out of the water in every regard (pun not intended). This episode actually reminded me a lot of the very first one, maybe because it was obvious Sato did at least the storyboards. Lots of gag faces.
Speaking of Precure, the way the monster of the week attacked Usagi would be reused later in Smile. At least the questions here were a bit harder than just "what does two plus two equals to?".
I wonder what route are they gonna take when bringing this storyline for the new audience? Not only are floppies so nineties, but computers are presented as this esoteric gizmo that only geniuses or overachievers can use.
So it only took them two months, but the second

That solves the mystery of the non-prehensile thumbs. I also like that they finally addressed just where the hell is Luna coming from to be so knowledgeable about the monsters and the heroines, but it also raises the question of who the hell is the guy directing the game arcade?

P.S. I swear that's not Usagi, but Chitose with a renewed hairdo.
Just what the fuck is happening in that shot?

So it gets reused a lot? I can't blame them, considering how much money they obviously put into that. I said it once and I'll say it again; goddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!
That's because evil is hotte-
I love you all. ;P

Most certainly after the first quarter/half of the show. You're in for a great ride.
The pacing absolutely picks up. Oh boy does it.

Shining Finger was the most decent female character, how can she be annoying.

Not to mention stuff which have not been announced yet, but are probably in production now.
Oh shit, I forgot about these. A-1 better not mess up with the movies!
Thinking about movies and rushed productions makes me think of the Shaft Negima movie. Did anyone see that? I heard the production for that movie was awful and the movie itself wasn't very good either.

Uuuuuh is there any particular reason why the last Utena tv series DVD comes with trailers for Junjo Romantica and Gravitation? Is Nozomi saying something about my anime tastes?
Chet Rippo

Yeah, but it's a pretty prominent trope in pretty much any genre or setting.
That's pretty evil!
Speaking of him, where did he go? He said he had something to show me, but disappeared on me!

If I loved Junjo Romantica, I would love Utena?
DokiDoki! Precure - 04
Alice is pretty legit. My initial thoughts was that she'd be another boring character to add to "Yellow Precures are the worst" pile for the series (Sunshine being the only one to escape that fate) but I was pleasantly proven wrong by this episode. I'm really hoping that later on during the halfway mark or near endgame something goes down that causes her to snap again like what happened during her childhood.
And Lance is absolutely adorable.
Don't talk shit about her girl. She'll mess you up!

At least the Beauty episode wasn't constantly slipping reused animation into the fights.
you're right, though, it's still the best
This is likely the last time you'll ever be impressed with Ami for any reason. She's the Reika of Sailor Moon.
And in turn, that Smile episode was a copy and paste of episode 30 of Suite. Toei are the cannibal pros.

That was a good episode. Kurisu and Okabe fighting is hilarious. Okabe outsmarting the cat maid and finally finding the PC he was looking for. I love this anime.

I wonder why they didn't throw in a trailer for Antique Bakery as well.

She's annoying for now. She needs to fucking talk. I hate Raj from The Big Bang Theory whenever a female is involved. I hate the stupid "I CANT TALK, CAN ONLY USE NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION" bullshit.
But yeah, Kurisu isn't great either.
Steins 07
Well it certainly did pick up. I get the feeling episode 8 is going to be amazing.
Shoujo fans like shoujo?

Futari wa Pretty Cure 30
Porun goes to school with Nagisa and Honoka, and gets them into big trouble. First he makes Honoka say she forgot to do her summer homework (summer homework was the biggest bullshit ever, btw) so she could cover for Nagisa while he was talking from her bag. Then he escapes and draws all over a picture of the principal. The vice principal makes them pull weeds as a result...I'm sorry guys, this was hilarious.
But then the three villains show up and end up ruining their shit. They chase around the Stone Keeper, who has to give the power of the Prism Stones as a last resort. But Porun then gives the power to Nagisa and Honoka, who proceed to become faster, stronger, and learn a rad new attack. And they have new bracelets. In stores now!

He addresses his car fetish in the commentary track for episode 37 of Utena (which I'm watching right now, obviously). Look it up, shit's hilarious.
Lol I liked that episode too. That principal let them off easily for destruction of school property.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
They did in one of the other DVDs.
Seriously. Though making them pull weeds in the summer heat is still pretty harsh, now that I think about it. Still though, that's a suspension back where I went to school.
Edit: I really should check out those Ikuhara commentaries, huh? Guy probably has some interesting things to say to say the least.

So you've finished it ? i must have missed that post.
It was still messy at times but it was much much better near the end than in the start .. ( as i said in the start they were clearly understaffed at the time ).
Max heart had a good end regardless of the fact that you realise how useless
shiiinnnyyyy luminous
I do recommand however to watch the SECOND max heart movie as it's pretty good.
Smile 23 is clearly the episode where toei went all out ..the result is enjoyable. Do be carefull for the episodes afterwards.
I'm glad , indeed except sunshine ( and peace ), the yellow cure are somehow not that good but the fact that she is
nerfing herself
That's an hell of a question, if i ever saw one.
Those are not shoujo, cajunator...

Smile Precure 24:
... *phew*, hold up, let me regain myself.
Okay, I guess we're experiencing a classic arc reset. They won, but they didn't win, no one is truly defeated and we've got a kickass animation we're going to milk like crazy. Well, it is kickass so I won't mind that. ^^;
Judging by the next episode preview I can see why sdburton is a Sunny x March shipper, but plenty of fan made media still make a rather compelling case to the March x Beauty coupling so we shall see...

So I was just thinking "Oooh it's 5 hours until the My Little Pony Japanese press conference!" and I went to check the livestream page. Seems like the Nico livestream has been cancelled. Instead the conference will be recorded and put online later on. Whenever they decide to put it up, it'll be at: http://mylittleponyjapan.com/
Kinda lame. They don't even have a reason for why the stream was cancelled.

Cardfight!! Vanguard: Asia Circuit 87 (eng dub)
Well Tag Force dueling is really great, though should have had Kamui play instead of Aichi Sendou.
The guarding is the best aspect and I wouldnt mind having the cards in this raptors booster pack.

Aichi is just as clueless in the rules as Kamui is sadly, lol.

It's a teaser all right. I wonder, will this be an alternative universe movie?
Cuz it could've picked up earlier and I know some people dropped it cuz it was too slow.
