Sorry guys, I'm too lazy to take screencaps, especially in this case where I would be forced to post nearly every single shot of the episode.
No gifs would be required though since almost nothing was actually animated.
Generally the fans of S1 that rant about S2 like these first eps. About ten in it turns into shit.

Sasako is best waifu.
Best anime nobody watched is still the best anime nobody watched.

Well without that there's no explanation for why Kotoura wouldn't be able to read her mind and tell that she was the culprit.
I'm not even a fan of S1, so I can't say I know what that feels like. But I well expect it to begin collapsing at 10.
Officially a nobody. ;__;
Honestly, it might not bother you so much if you didn't care for the first season.
Actually I started watching it a few days ago.
It's pretty amazing.
The numbers are slowly but surely growing. Believe.
I hate 00 S2 more than almost anything I've ever watched and I hated it from the very first episode.
Setsuna was cool in that first ep!!

Having the main character's secret technique set up as thoroughly overpowered in one episode and then crushed pitifully in the next is a classic development, but it worked to great effect here. If I wasn't already aware of how this series will go, I'd be very interested right now.

Hoping
for some kind of closure but fearing that it will give us standard '' I don't choose anyone'' ending. Blah. Preview for next episode didn't look that promising...
I fully expect it to bother me. Even if it doesn't, I will tear it from limb to limb anyway, only to have someone call me out for exaggerating how much I hate bad mecha shows. It's not my fault that there are such good shows in the genre that I expect better of the most well-known series in it.
Ep1 was okay. Mostly because it was less people jerking off to Celestial Being and more, you know, action. If Ep1 of S2 had been the first episode of the entire show, my opinion might be different of all of this.
Setsuna is never cool. Like, ever. He's saved from being worst Gundam protagonist by the existence of Flit and Shinn. Still undecided if Ko is worse than him or not.
Judging from the 27 episodes of the series I've seen, I would tell you to expect crap of the highest degree.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: The Movie 2nd A's
Every bit of hype I had for this was worth it, so god damn excellent.
There were some very obvious changes to the plot, whether it be what events occurred in what order, when they happened, and how they happened.
The transformation scenes were excellent (and not just because they had
in them!), the battles were all brand new footage and amazing, and the soundtrack created just the right atmosphere for said battles. Both insert songs were great (Snow actually bringing me to tears), but they didn't include Brave Phoenix unfortunately.
I just keeping excellent over and over again, but I can't think of any better words to describe such an excellent retelling of one my very favorite anime series of all time. I urge everyone to watch the TV series just to watch this. And also because I couldn't not end this on something adorable:
Vita is the most adorable/badass thing ever. AND NOW SHE'S IN HD.
Hellish tools in HD is what I've been waiting for for far too long.

Graham doesn't appear at all in this movie, so the subplot with his nekomimi familiars trying to get back the Book of Darkness is completely removed, which also changes Hayate was supported by. This would have eaten far too much time so I don't mind that they cut it.

Psycho Pass 22 (end)
What an awfully boring and dull ending. It was so not worth it and just so unexciting. I mean how does one go through 21 episodes, an entire joyride and just feel nothing at this ending. Whoever wrote it, wrote it in such a way that none of the plots he even tried to get cross felt as if they had any emotional meaning to them. Sure I did get caught up a bit in the Shogo Kogami stuff as thats the main conflict but that resolution
.
I wanted to see more resolution like
8 / 10. Ending was just not good and dull and couldnt match the excitement and intensity as the previous arcs.

It just felt really dull and low key as they made it a boring truck hit and run and eventual turnover and made Shogo look all dull, beat down, and pathetic. Pretty offensive to his character and role. Secretly hoping that Kogami shot the ground next to him and quickly led him away from the area and covering it up and whatnot. Would be a much better conclusion
I wanted to see more resolution like
the collapse of the system, not an understanding type ending where it and Tsunamori just agree to continue and let time handle it. She ought to have let herself be integrated in it and become the whole face of the entire system and division. And what is Saiga doing there?
8 / 10. Ending was just not good and dull and couldnt match the excitement and intensity as the previous arcs.
Ohhh - what's going on there? Is she gonna take it off?

Gintama' 264
Ha ha, that was a nice conclusion. For the most part the comedy seemed to take the back seat this season. It was nice to see it out in full force.
Overall a nice arc. Obviously it doesn't stand up to the previous one but that's to be expected as it had big shoes to fill. The siblings deserved to have a story centred around them. Kondo and Kyubei's inclusion in the arc was a nice addition. Straight man Kondo, it would be nice to see more him.
And so next week is the final episode of Gintama' followed by the finale movie in July. I expect to see GintamaZ starting spring 2014. (I won't accept Gintama's end until after I've gone through my mid-life crisis.)

GTO 28
TOMOKO FOR BEST GIRL. I never thought the story of a girl's quest to become famous would so heart warming, but then I remember that Tomoko is an innocent like, fifteen year old who plays with dolls and is genuine and nice to everyone. And all the snarky bitches who treat her like scum always get the kindest treatment back from her. Having Kanzaki as a best friend also more or less guarantees that Tomoko is safe for life. Usually I loathe the cutesy, innocent character because they're some kind of ploy or affectation, but like all characters in this show, Tomoko seems so genuine and real that its hard to hate her.
MAN, GTO is such a good show.

This is the perfect ED for Aku no Hana. Hype levels through the roof!
Let's be friends.
She's only 27 years old too.

As long as we both like flat chests and butts I think we'll get along great.
Impressive, apparently this is the first thing she's credited for too. I look forward to anymore this Misa Chujo does.
They also said Sasayama was their favorite character.
I'm going to guess they were just spouting horseshit.

Soooooooooo is Urobuchi at fault here or just Shiotani for how Psycho-Pass turned out?
There's no point in black bar'ing something if you black bar the name of the show too.

Don't mess with them.
Don't mess with them.
Cried that the show ended in the most generic way possible.
Seriously:
-
Hero and baddy have their final talk. Camera zooms out and we hear the shot and the silhouette collapses forward.
-
Inspector glasses talking to the grave of his father talking about what a disappointment he must be and finally calling him dad for the first time. Happier to find a new role in life.
-
Akane is now Queen Badass.
-
Hero has run off and no one has heard from him since. Presume he's having the good life.
-
New recruit to end the show mirroring how it started.
-
Mysterious "it will continue" sign at the end.
It's like they had a tick box of things that happen in a lot of endings that they had to meet.
I'd like to revise my appraisal of Fall/Winter noitaminA to one failed adaptation and one original series that couldn't quite live up to its promise. No winners here anymore.

Robotics;Notes 22 (end)
I've still got questions about a lot of the stuff in the story, but I can't care enough to try to find the answers. Especially not with the Steins;Gate movie on the horizon (even though it'll take a while for the latter to his BD).

Mobile Fighter G Gundam 28
Domon's battle against not really humans continues as this week he fights a possibly cyborg in the Mandella Gundam who is also a slimy assassin from the equally slimy Nepalese govt. That Domon doesn't realize he has a sword at his disposal until Schwarz Bruder points it out is hilarious. Just like Viking Gundam being like, part boat is hilarious.
Seriously, most of these Gundams Domon is fighting are so bizarre I can't fathom how these guys made it to the finals.
HURRY UP AND GET TO MASTER ASIA.

This was very un-Urobuchi like ending for sure.
Psycho-Pass only confirmed that he still hates big-breasts and nothing else. I am disappoint.

Tamako Market 11
It took 11 episodes, but I think Tamako Market is finally starting to actually get somewhat good. Unfortunately it is just a bit too late as it would have been nice if the other episodes had been as focused and as interesting. I liked the various thoughts expressed by characters in regard to the future and just the theme of people needing to learn that they'll have to let go someday.

Unfortunately was sad that Mochizou was pushed to the side and essentially nearly seemed to give up, though perhaps he'll make some final effort to win her over. The dad definitely deserves some commendation for a good solid performance throughout the whole anime, tough task he has and things he has to go through especially this episode. And best pat, Mechya joined the market, please stay!
So, I decided to watch the Hana Yori Dango anime due to the Umakoshi/Yamauchi staff combination...

I know it's dubbed, but you all need to watch it. Yamauchi is giving Dezaki a run for his money with all this overblown melodrama and horror-movie-like scene composition.
