Unicorn primarily stars Banagher Links and near incomprehensible technophobia, if it didn't I'd rater it a lot higher.
Yes, everyone knows that 30 is the otaku expiration date.

This keeps getting better with every episode. I was kinda skeptical at first, but I think it definitely lives up to the hype. I need more of this crazy world and its crazier inhabitants.

It's not the end of Hidamari, it's just going to make me cry like a motherfucker!
If I had money to spend on butts and boobs I would, maybe if it ever goes on sale.
Not nearly enough Mickey Mousing in this, despite the setup.

Oh Hikaru and Kaoru sleep in the same bed together? The brotherly love goes to even greater levels than I imagined. Though I shouldn't really be talking since I've slept in the same room as my brother since as far back as I can remember. Not the same bed though.
I fucking lol'd at Tamaki's fence job.
Ooooooohhh a new facet appears. An old friend of Haruhi's? An old flame even? Who is he???????

More creepy nonsense. Avoid.
Really, the only standout-arc of this season has really been the Snake Arc but that arc was so god damn amazing it nearly makes up for how tepid the rest of this is. Nearly.
And SOME PEOPLE still haven't even gotten around to that arc!

You mean better
Did it leak? What the hell? The Aussie's will never get another simulcast at this rate (if it was part of the same leak).
On the other hand, the unprofessional censorship is far and away the most List feature of the show.
As much as I would like for there never to have been an Eureka Seven movie, there was. I wish they'd made a sequel to the show, though. I bet that would've been cool.
Green stripes is still best guy.
I'll give you that Banagher Links is a pretty lame character unworthy of the amazing fight scenes he's in, (and while I would sooner him over chumps like Uso any day, that's neither here nor there), let's not pretend that the protagonists of Gundam Build Fighters are the reason it is rated so highly, either.
Also Unicorn brought me Ms. Marida.

You are wise.
Started watching K and Karneval. (up to ep 2 on both.)
I like both of them so far. Neither of them are exceptional but I'm having a good time. (Instantly fell in love with the lead of the former, as you probably guessed.)
The second episode of K was a mixed bag though. Once the cat
transformed into a busty naked chick with space warping powers
And I think the episode should have moved the story forward a bit more. There's only 11 episodes left, man!

Both are so good, Ive watched K twice and rewatching it yet again. Story advances well in abit. If you do like it, eventually read K Memory of Red and Days of Blue for more time and backstory on both groups.
Karneval too, hope funimation does bring it on BD here.

Half-mermaid, half-vampire? 9 year-old mayors? This is such a weird setting.
Sounds like True Art to me.

I find it ironic that there should be something called Memory Of Red in association with K, given that the anime seeemingly had absolutely no memory of red when it came to its colour palette...

It gets weirder and less comprehensible. The way the two worlds are explained is already damn faulty.

This was a better episode for me than the last one. We learned what
I'm not sure we learned anything else, but it was a fun episode in any case

Arararararagi was doing when he sent those text messages much earlier in the season.
Hachikuji fondling, threats to kiss Ononoki, Hachi and Ononoki drawing on his unconscious body. It was a good day.

No Wolf Children. No Death Billiards. The Oscars continue to be pointless.
Were any of the Anime Mirai shorts submitted?
The lack of Wolf Children is far more egregious, though.
SHIN MAZINGER Z 2
Where have you been my entire life? This show! THIS SHOW, GUYS. I can't. It's too good. I'm not worthy. Holy crap, this is the purest form of Super Robot ever. It just, it just is, you know? Everything about this is right. The music, the action, the shouting, the mechs. It's all so ridiculously awesome. It's like one extended metal song you never want to end. Kid hasn't even gotten in his mech yet and it is still so freaking amazing.
So good so good so good

I don't know; this isn't the first time I've seen the "same place in parallel dimensions" concept.
I'm very glad to hear that.
Some people tend to get a bit exasperated by the non-robot parts of Shin Mazinger, especially later in the show, but I felt they worked nicely. This was yet another case of not everyone getting what they expect and thus making a huge deal about it, even when it's well-executed.
You're already an Imagawa fan since you love G Gundam so much though, so it should be nice to have some positive thoughts for a change.

I don't even pay attention to the Oscars anymore. American film (or at least Hollywood) is stuck in a massive rut, so it's not really worth paying attention to, IMHO.
I knowwwww but still I dont want to watch it because it means hidamari has to end sometime.
I cant bear to think about it.
At least its coming out in BLURAY GLORY WIDEFACE HNNNGH

Yes, but the way the worlds interact with each other is poorly explained. Like are the yokai that inhabit the human world born there? They'd have to be if no one knows anything about the other world, right? And if no one knows anything about the other world, how does the premise work at all unless there's a ton of information we're missing, information that Suzuhito doesn't seem to want to give.
Like you usually give a a shit to coherence writing anyway.

Still salty about them never making good on Zetsubou-sensei.
Getter Robo 2
Show's RAW, man. Professor Saotome is a man so dedicated to his science stuff that he honestly does not appear to care that his SON IS DEAD and his daughter almost died. No wonder Anno makes Gendo into such a bastard. Most of these science dads, seen through another light, are. Musashi is a dang coward who is afraid of the coolest things God ever did put on this Earth. And Ryouma is an abusive jerkass, while Hayato is an apathetic douchebag.
Are these people really heroes?

That makes even less sense now. Both Combustible and Possessions were screened at the same festivals ahead of the rest of the Short Peace segments. How is it that one can be shortlisted for 2012, and another for 2013? The submission process must be really dumb!
I don't really see the issue here. I mean I've only see 5 episodes so far, but it makes sense to me.
The non-humans are born in our world, and have always been part of our world. They're the basis of myth and legend throughout human history. Tuning is the act of sending a non-human to another world, carried out by humans who possess a special power handed down through the generations. This act is clearly devised by humans, and acts as a tradition to get rid of non-humans who interfere with how human society is expected to exist.
The tradition is carried out because most people don't care about those who are different from themselves, and care only about what they see as "their own people". So throughout history it seems that often tuning is forced upon the non-humans who get caught or who cause trouble, and most of the time it seems they died in the process. It was only because one person actually cared about doing it "right" in the first place that the bridge between the worlds was created. He sacrificed his life on our world in the process. but in doing so created a place where non-humans would feel safe, knowing that even if they do get tuned, it would be under the best circumstances.
Because of this one change in the history of tuning, it seems to have changed the culture of the tradition itself. It was no longer viewed as something which simply had to be done, but something that can be done if required. Due to this one change, it caused this town to flourish as a place where humans and non-humans can live together in peace. Which is the premise of the entire story.
Does anyone know anything about the other world? Nope. Does it matter? Probably not.
They start to get there. Didn't really care for the show to start until Ryouma's VA got dat getter shout down

These last few episodes just keep piling on how awesome Ginja, Sasami's Dad is. I mean jesus christ, he's made out to be a man among men, possibly to fill the quota of useful male characters in a magical girl anime. Doesn't even give a fuck about Sasami getting a 60. That's enough for a FEAST IN HIS DEFINITION!
Can't help but feel that Pixy Misa wasn't actually a bad guy here. I mean yeah, she summoned a monster, but she also revealed how much of a scumbag Mr Arranged Marriage is.... and that guy SHOT RAINBOWS FROM HIM HANDS AND SUMMON CHERUBS LIKE IT'S NOTHING! EVERYONE WAS IN ON THE MARRIAGE!
So far, this has been really worthwhile. It feels like this and Dokkaan will be the last pitstop of goodness before we truly descend into a deeper Magical Hell.

Yeah, the ending sequence of this episode is absolutely stunning. This ending and the beginning of the next episode together are one of my favorite anime sequences.
Well, the Short Film rules are here. You're free to take a look.

No need for personal attacks, dude.
I guess that makes sense, though the information being fragmented and the manga expanding on the concept later on causing more confusion didn't make it the easiest thing to understand for me.

Well it still sounds like stuff might get licensed but never released. So nothing really new I guess besides the whole Media Blasters is still undead.
It's possible that it's really poor presented in the manga. I wouldn't know, since I've never read it. I think the TV anime is doing a surprisingly good job of being coherent though.
