God, I wanna like Gate but they neutered it so fucking hard it's hard to get through some of the episodes.

I also, for the first time in my life, want the loli to win the harem simply because their relationship is far and away the best one. And not even from a shipping stand-point, their interactions are the most natural and they get along in a comfortable way much more than any other character. Get on that shit yo

Just finish the TV series of Wolf Rain. Man....the journey is one hell of a ride I have to say. Will watch the OVA once I finish typing my impression of the show in the next few days so I can let the show sink in a bit.

Gate ep.9
I'm not sure what just happened in that episode, but I'm not sure if I liked it either, lol. Rory going erotica crazy like she did on the wall during the last battle in the other world and trying to get a piece of our MC.. Ouch, lol.
 
Symphogear GX - 09

Fanbase faces when ending:

FUCKING EL OH EL.
 
Symphogear GX 09

What the fuck just happened here?

They bring back the
worst villain
out of nowhere.

The constant jobbing has been somewhat annoying I agree. I would like it if they moved on to other things.

The only way they can redeem this is if
Dr. Ver
is immediately killed at the start of the next episode.

The OVA is the true ending of Wolf's Rain; the 4 episodes that were only released on home video were originally planned to air on TV before the SARS epidemic necessitated the 4 recap episodes. Don't judge Wolf's Rain as a whole until you're able to watch the real end.
 
WAIT

I JUST FIGURED SOMETHING OUT ON SYMPHOGEAR

TSUBASA'S GRANDFATHER NTR'D THE FUCK OUT OF HIS SON TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS BORN

XBLAnnoyance
If you ask me if she has no problems beating up Yuu when he was a scumbag in the first episode or beating those people going after Yusarin then she probably have no problems of Yuu going stab the eye of delinquent gangster leader lol. Not to mention she nearly kill glasses guy by kicking him through a window few stories down even if playing out as a comedic means.

The core problem is that moment felt like a Drug PSA then a natural story turn, which it was.

About to start EP7 of Rokka. Things are looking good so far! It's a closed circle locked room mystery that didn't even need to begin with a murder to be mysterious or interesting, and the way characters act makes sense given the situation they're in.

Talk about a fake-out, since I had dropped it at EP3 since I thought it was only going to be a generic "let's fight evil!" story where the bad guys were nothing but conspicuous CG monsters and fancy talking lizardmen with wings.

Classroom*Crisis ep.9
Well, I guess we're back to saying "Fuck You Nagisa" .. what a dink. Oh well, too much politics and corporate conspiracy shit in this episode for me. Sensei putting him in his place was great though...
 
Classroom Crisis - 09

Oh fucking course when he finally wins he can't truly enjoy it and I'm not quite sure they've really established why he can't enjoy his victory of his asshole of a brother.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199: 19-20
Episode 19 is pretty much a build up, much of it focused on the Gamillan side and the aftermath of
the failed coup and the disastrous destruction of their gate system by Yamato.
Episode 20 is the great epic battle against Domel. Edge of the seat stuff as it seemed like the enemy one step ahead of the Yamato crew every time.
Yamato wins but at the skin of their teeth, with their ship greatly damaged and Mori kidnapped.

Out of all the stuff that I'm watching, this is the weakest one. Can't bring myself to drop it now that I'm this far in, but it's literally as if they take one step forward and then 2 steps back. At this point I don't even care anymore.

My Wife is the Stud. Council Pres ep.9
Well, panties are pretty great there buddy. These two live together, they should just start banging already. I can see why teenage boys eat this shit up though; damn hot stuff, lol.

Yeah, I submit and agree, each week I think it gets better, then you get this one where Nagisa turns out to be a dink and no progress is actually being made. But hey, he's a punk through and through. Oh well, with three left, I'll finish, it's not as bad as Triage-X got, lol.

Non Non Biyori S1 - EPs 2-3
Getting introduced to the cast once again after having watched a bit of S2 is weird, since I don't think that's even necessary. Still no 具, but man, this show is comfy as hell. Looks like Hotaru really wants sempai to notice her, which is a bit... weird. Komari not even knowing that she was hanging out with Hotaru was a bit weird (just how much of a dojikko can she be?), but it was still okay, I guess.


... A romance movie, yeah...

The sister's big brother not ever speaking a single line is a bit weird, but then again he's mostly a non-entity in the show anyway.

Also, I just realized I kind of like it when a character's hair moves on its own for some reason. Komari's antena's got nothing on Araragi's, though.

We told you so :p

Which is why I decided to give the show a second chance. The show's kind of sneaky in how it fails the three-episode rule, but actually becomes decent right afterwards.

Prison School ep.8
Damn, well that sucks for the boys. I wonder how they get outta this one now.. Good to see them all on the same page in the end though.
 
Cinderella Girls 20

Her Smile And Optimism: Gone

Even with the drama coming back full force this episode, I thought this was pretty good. The way that LL handled the situation made the resulting fallout from NG even worse in comparison. I can't even fault Mio compared to her drama from the first half, since it was a lot more understandable this time. At least Producer showed that he learned from last time.

At least we're moving into Uzuki's arc now. Finally.

I turned off the video and went to bible study.

Oh come on, you should have figured out this series is JSDF wankery during the helicopter episode :)


I'll give this one episode a pass since it's been pretty damn good on the whole, but something felt completely different with this episode than all the previous ones.



Oh and the last couple episode of the Eccentric Family ep 10-12 have been awesome, awesome awesome. It's hard stopping from watching the final episode until tomorrow night.

Gate-9

JSDF 2 stronk for weak American Spec Ops.

Yo they're already at that episode? Holy shit they don't have much more before they catch up with the manga.

I'll give it a watch when it's all out maybe but I'm gonna assume they tamed down a bit of their conversation and didn't have MC grab her ass. In the manga he's pretty much 2 seconds away from fucking her when the phone rings. If they kept that then...hey cool. Rory best girl and all that.

Please tell me they kept that ATROCIOUS bit about figuring out it was American cause the soldier they killed was black. The whole scene and explanation for it made me roll my eyes so hard I'm pretty sure I got booked against Brock Lesnar.

We're heading into harem territory.

You mispelled haram.

The episode ended with him grabbing her ass. And I think the soldier killed was white.

Yup... short summary

"No Rory, this is wrong, this will get me put in jail, you're a loli"

"no I'm not, I'm 900 yrs old"

*proceeds to guide her to the right spot with his hands lifting up her ass*

episide ends..

Ummmmmm........


One Caucasian and one African :)

Yup, wow.. now I definitely see what all the "nationalistic" talk was about, lol.
 
I'm not watching Gate, but I'm not entirely certain why a big dumb militaristic conquer the foreign enemy story being more than a bit nationalistic is such a surprise.

lol 15 seconds in and it doesn't disappoint.

Edit: on the video commentary: "It's around here where the dubbers confuse Malius's internal monologue with his song lyrics..." XD

Edit 2: One of the dialogues: "I have loved this country far longer than I have ever known true love itself! Furthermore I have loved your love more than anyone could love eternal love like this love!" XD XD XD

Edit 3: Another priceless one: "Stand aside! I have cut off the girly woman inside of me." XD

Well, if you were watching it, then you would know that in today's episode, that wasn't the reason for the nationalistic tone, lol.

This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

Don't be a filthy episode jumper, you gotta watch from the beginning

It's like randomly watching the home movie ep of Haruhi S1 and wondering what the big deal was all these years

I'm more put off by the sheer praise of military violence... there's no reflection on actions. With an almost religious tacit approval of the good guys and the war time 'hoary us' title cards, it all seems almost like cringe inducing propaganda.

The nationalistic slant, though ridiculous at times, isn't really bothering me... if youre going to right fiction then what's wrong with making yourself the star of your own fantasy?

I love the characters and the banter but this lol Goth centuries old preteen demon seductress trope needs to die in a fire.

Eh, I am nearly 100% certain that Gate goes to shit later. I don't feel bad about jumping in and out. I might as well enjoy the stupid before it gets downright offensively stupid.
