You must not be familiar with magical anime clothes. It's all about accentuating the female form.

Yeah, I mean the only reason a character like Saber has relatively realistic armor is because she was ostensibly supposed to be masquerading as a man.

Fate/Snuff- A 3 part OVA mini-series following the adventures of Caster as he abuses and mutilates children for the audience. Designed to appeal to the more sophisticated section of the Fate fan base.

"sophisticated" ?

I dunno, all the women in F/Z seem to have pretty reasonable clothing!

AT least have Ryuunosuke.

[Branduil]

The rest of them aren't servants, though. Except that female assassin, who does indeed where some kind of bikini outfit. I guess that's okay though, because all the assassins wear dumb clothes, and nobody cares about assassin.

Why bother having clothes at that point?!

That would require finesse, which no English player has. /rimshot ...wait. :|

At least you guys still have cricket?

Typical Liverpool fans if you ask me.

Yeah, even the fairest maiden in the series Waver is dressed really well.

I guess i'd buy it, since you say it's art.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Fate/Talk - 6-part hour long OVAs featuring Gilgamesh and Kirei sitting around drinking wine and having long conversations about various topics. This unorthodox series is targeted at adult men and obsessed fangirls. Each installment will cover a range of diverse topics ranging from film, culture, music, politics (from the 90s and before), etc. Gilgamesh will critique these topics while Kirei describes them in matter-of-fact ways. Each topic is paired with a specific wine, which is also part of the critique.

Would buy at a high price.

Fate/Pumped:

A morning exercise show starring Irisviel von Einzbern. Follow along as she lifts weights, kickboxes, and instructs the viewer on several muscle-building techniques to give the viewer the strength they need to get through the day feeling great.

Outside of my pure hatred of the sport, we've comprehensively sucked since we got the number 1 ranking in the world.

[darkside31337]

Fate/Hate

A variant of The Bacherlotte starring everyone's favorite love interest Saber Waver. Starring Gilgamesh, Rider, Kirei and every other eligible bachelor from the Fateverse taking the lovely maiden on dates all across the land in a ruthless competition, all trying to win love, with each episode ending with the Rose ceremony. Only each weekly loser gets killed off the show instead of merely sent home.

[BGBW]

Those eyes. That is the stuff of nightmares.

[Haly]

While Fate/Justice is probably the only thing that has a chance of being made, Fate/Talk is what I would really look forward to.

[Joule]

Chiyu feels like so a waste in the cast, I cant think of anything shes added more than making both Haru and Taku feeling bad. Also thats an odd level up schema, cant recall playing any game where it was setup like that.

I assume she'll have some impact later on? I don't mind her too much. I guess since burst points are the be all currency it does make some sense that it is the basis for level ups too. I do like that there's a risk/cost.

That seems to be where they have to stop, with a cliffhanger ending that sets up a meeting between Kiyosumi and Achiga (and Saki's sister presumably).

That sounds about right though I'd rather it wasn't.

Kimi to Boku 7:

Valentines~ This series is really going chronologically at least on holidays.

That was pretty fun. It started off well with Chizuru's mind stripping Mary in his dreams. Moving on to Kaname's mom and him having a mother-son moment by forcing chocolate into him. One by one everybody gets some except for poor Chizuru. Shun even gets some from a scarf girl from another school to his confusion! Drama and stuff ensue, standard Valentine tropes. Mary gets hit by a flying soccer ball (I laughed way too hard at this). In the end of it, Chizuru finally gets himself out of the f-zone. Good for him.

Kaname's mom, strongest contender in his love square.

While I would of liked to have seen something actually done with Shun and scarf girl, it was not to be of course. More and more he's relegated to being a prop in the Chizuru/Mary deal. I hope that with this episode down, at some point he'll get his own thing going. Why reject the scarf girl Shun why : ( Her tart was delicious you said. Has there been more scarves lately or is it just me?

Men. So. Lewd.

Running through the checklist, there's still a Yuta/Takahashi and Kaname love square episode that has yet to arrive. Beyond that I suppose everything else is free game. I do expect a White Day episode (or maybe a special even). I really like how acoustic guitar is the one main instruments used in the ost. The segues into the OP/ED are pretty good too if just very straightly done. The whole beach imagery sequence, reminds me totally of those boy band pop music videos from the nineties.

There was a large absence of cats this episode! Also to answer survivor's (iirc) question of which is less boring, Natsuiro Kiseki or this, it's definitely Natsuiro. Boys > Girls.

[Narag]

Make it a drama cd and call it a day.

Give it to Nisio to write and Shaft to produce.

Have Nisio do Fate/Justice, Medaka Box gives me every confidence he can write about the topic.

Eureka Seven Ep. 23 & 24

Ugh, I couldn't watch these episodes without pausing every few minutes, so I could stop cringing. "If it's too good to be true, it probably is." That's this whole arc in a nutshell. -_- The writing couldn't have been any less subtle. Apparently episode 24 was written by Yuuichi Nomura, who also wrote episodes 22 and 23 of Code Geass. Heh. I wasn't too fond of his other episodes of Eureka Seven either, with the exception of 13.

[ponpo]

Good. Also been too sick, need to watch latest episodes of Hyouka and F/Z.

*baaaaarrrfff*

And... dropped. Not sure how people can lob the "human beings made this?" criticism at Shining Hearts when this drivel is garbage even as a kid's show. At least Shining Hearts is so bread, it's good.

The action in this episode was decent though.

[Hitokage]

Not everyone is capable of appreciating genius.

[Dedication Through Light]

Gundam Age 31

Desert battle reminded me of 00 for some reason but the G-Hopper blaster weapon was epic. Entire desert gone!. Kind of liked the plot. Though only criticism is that Shanalua is pretty obviously seen as a traitor or such, they could have hid it better than that.

Also WootBit has to be the oddest name in this series.

[duckroll]

Nah, I find most of his opinions on Fate/Zero totally wrong. He doesn't have much investment in the actual show itself or the content, and he's judging it based on the interest of someone who only wants to critique it based on preconceived standards. His facts and references are usually dead on, but his opinions... not so much.

[Mad Pierrot]

Smile Precure 15:

Mother's Day episode went better than expected. Between this episode and Episode 13, it seems like the staff finally realized that Miyuki was in desperate need of some characterization. I don't think I've seen a pink/lead Precure so overshadowed by her comrades before Miyuki, but in the past three episodes her dojikko moe was cranked over 9000 and it really worked to make her more endearing.

Basically, this episode was a message to broke-ass little kids that it's the thought that counts on Mother's Day. That was all fine and good, but the real reason that this episode shined was Miyuki's sheer breadth of expressiveness. Like Episode 13, it was almost Sailor Moon/Doremi/Heartcatch good.

There was also a really prolonged Akanbe battle, and for those who hate Akanbe, no need to dread it because it was fairly well-done even if there was no out-and-out sakuga this episode. Highlights include Sunny and March double-teaming Wolfrun, Beauty having an allergy attack, and one really meaningful PARIKYUAAAAA HAPPIIIIII SHAWAAAAAAAA.

And Wolfrun remains a total asshole in the best way.

For those who felt cheated by Episode 12, it looks like we get a Reika episode fo realz next week.

I really love the song used in the ED and I like their use of playing bits of the music then rolling into the actual ED. Enjoy it when anime do this

Regarding this episode's conflict Reiko is kinda of an asshole. If she wanted him to see the sea, couldn't she tell him to climb another tree? Hell if there weren't any other trees, then I don't thing putting his name on a branch is really a safe thing.

I find it hilarious that they went back to the "red" enemies for no good reason other than to let Happy use her finishing move again.
