Perhaps they have guidance from the manga writer on what the ending will be and will try to adapt it
Anyway hope this 8 or 9 volume manga is picked up by yen press
Toriko - 93
I was going to outright praise the animation of the fight against the panda, which hasn't been this good since the fight against Tommyrod, but I've got to dock points for copy and pasting the same sequence twice, that type of thing really annoys me for some reason.
So far this casino arc has been surprisingly really good considering the other 2 "team up with [insert Sani or Zebra]" arcs have been so-so.

They're going to announce the anime going on hiatus. Now anime viewers to can get the full HxH experience

Its a fun and dramatic show on friendship. I look forward to it every week, and also the mystery it has is really gripping, dont you to watch it to know the secret of the world?
That GitS conference threw off my anime-watching schedule.

This really is a great show.
This culture festival had a lot of energy. They did a nice job of moving different side characters through the backgrounds. It made the festival seem pretty lively.
There's something about the editing in this show that's really different from most of the other anime I watch. I like how it uses fast cuts, or how it splices up static moments to speed time along. It can be reminiscent of Western film or comedy sometimes.
Mouryou no Hako 6
So I was kinda right about the mysteries thing. The pacing seems to have slowed down a lot here. The episode barely leaves the room. It seems like this portion of the story is about trying to arrest our attention after all the flashbacks and shifting narrators. It doesn't lay out what has happened for us, but it asks us to stop and assess what we've seen so far. What mysteries can we explain? What sorts of characters are we dealing with? Am I correct that
?
Eitherway, Kyogokudou is an interesting character to watch, dictating the terms of the conversation, controlling the pace, topic, and jargon. It's interesting watching how Sekiguchi reacts to him. Our author isn't exactly great at getting to the point himself, but he's clearly familiar with Kyogokudou's games, and doesn't seem to be a fan.
Preview suggests more talking next episode. Normally I'd hate that, but I kind of liked how this episode played out.

All of that wouldn't be as meaningful if the show didn't continue to do such a great job with its characters. But I'm not sure what to say that hasn't already been said.
An example of a quick-cut flashback used for comedy. Either this doesn't happen often in anime, or I'm watching the wrong shows.
This isn't the first time the show has used jump cuts in time on a single shot. In fact, it happens in the prologue for just about every episode. I think it's kinda charming.

the medium in Yoriko's house is the same person as the box-maker in this episode
Our two favorite symbols, together at last!

They use this close-up view of Sekiguchi a lot when they let us in on his thoughts. Even though he knows Kyougokudo better than his reporter friend, he's really shut out of this conversation, and trapped in his own headspace.

Rest up, you'll need it. Looking back, I really like how the good stuff wasn't spoiled in the previews. Hold on to that kick the can gif.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
First the bears and now this? Dammit China! You'll never become truly Capitalist at this rate!
Should have just copy and pasted the dance from the OP lulz.
You have validated my decision to buy this book. Good work!
You sound tired.

Dont know if thats good or bad. Well I hope its mindblowing, I havent looked for spoilers.
Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro aka The Hero Yoshihiko and the Demon King’s Castle ep.1
What the hell did I just watch. It sounds epic and all but it's like watching some live action Gintama.
That was funny. Like, all the characters are stupid, you can't help laughing whenever they do/say something. The hero puts 3D glasses to see Buddha, the mage only knows one spell...
Watch it.
And he finds his father in the very first episode.

I think its kind of twist that you gonna like though, big chance you gonna declare it as best ending ever when you see it.

I'm pretty sure it was wonzo, or is that the joke?
It's not really a very high achievement.
I was/am still/am always tired.
One of the dispatchers just quit in the middle of the night. Left his phone on hold and quit without telling anybody. Guess who had to step in and save the day?
At least I get paid 4 extra days plus the Mardi Gras 2 day holiday. I still don't think its worth it but whatever.
Yup. If you are already hooked on an episode many people didnt even like you will LOVE this. (I liked episode 1 btw)
Nice figures! Ive seen them before but I dont really have Haganai fandom (havent seen it yet)
Its better this way. Believe me it is. Avoid starting the hobby at all costs. Its a super money pit.
Technically most anime is sexualization of minors.
Technically.
You're damned right she's hnnnngh!
Oh man. Dual....Steel Angel Kurumi....Hand Maid May...so many memories!

i'm pretty sure that's the case for several things in the Magi Tv adaptation.
I'd love to hear his excuses for the rest of the show.
They kinda did.

Better than that loli detective anime from lately.
I think you'll find judge that they are just drawn that way. In reality she is a 900 year old vampire.

Ah but that would require stuff like patience, coordination, editing and interesting things to say. Those are hard.
That last point doesn't stop most podcasts!
Ep 18 has bigger problem like cutting out the fat run.In other words.."Buy the blu ray!" fuck you A1. Magi is ruined thanks to you and Hiroyuki Yoshino.

Gundam Seed HD Remaster 25
Well might as well try to finish this up before Seed Destiny HD, or maybe wait for the bds of that too since I guess more stuff was touched up than in the tv broadcast? Anyway, was virtually a recap episode with a few minutes of new material. Liked finally knowing what SEED stood for and at least hearing about the epic and awesome things Kira does and is capable of doing. I hope he continues to display proficient skills in everything as if he does could possibly become one of my favorite gundam pilots since Heero or Setsuna F Seiei. ( I like Duo too).
I assume the Kira shot was touched up which seemed odd for there is nothing going on in that scene except talking about baka Cagalli getting slapped...

A1 is too busy using all their budget for the IM@S movie.
We could just recycle old topics like "what happens in SAO when they need to poop?"
That was supposed to be my line!
Sounds like you're making the perfect the enemy of the good.
What's the worst thing that could happen?

[Re: Cutie Honey] 1, or Trying to keep this as Safe for Work as possible!
That was amazing. Tits and arse aside (of which there is plenty), that was a really energetic and vibrant forty-minutes of Imaishi doing what he knows to do best: cartoonish characters getting squishy squashy, accompanied by his trademark explosions and all sots of dumb physics. The scene with the
was not unlike that of Panty & Stocking's episode six. So ridiculous, yet so awesome.
The plot is otherwise very shallow. The entire episode is nothing more than an excuse for GAINAX's animators (and Toei's ostensibly, but nobody cares about them except silly Precure and One Piece fans) to go crazy and show lots of naked ladies, but there are still some light hints of character development here and there, especially in the character of Natsuko, who easily steals the show with her nonchalant attitude towards the eponymous super heroine. It should be enough for the three episodes this series lasts, at least.
The only thing I'm worried about is the fact that the next episode seems to have been handled by another director altogether, what with Hideaki Anno being more interested in silly 3D people with ugly tokusatsu effects before he even gets on the lame job of supervising animation. Ewwwww.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the OP song by Koda Kumi, her of Real Emotion fame, is great.
