This episode proves that you can never have enough Sucy. Ever.
They really went full Trigger with this episode.

Pretty funny episode, but it's too bad that we didn't get Cure Macaron this weak.
Oh well, at least we are getting her next time.
 
koro sensei quest 1

for a gag comedy spin off, this isn't horrible.
as a series in general.... this doesn't seem very good.

a very big step down from the actual series it is based off of.
I did however like the 8bit remake of one of the openings for the end song though.

oh well I will burn through two more episodes to knock it off my funimation dubs list for a later date so I can reach my goal of watching at least 3 episodes of every dubbed anime on funimation.com by the end of the year lol.
I think its great once more of the cast is introduced, I think i felt the same with s1 of thr main anime too. Karma kun, itona, are integral to the series success.

This Sucy episode told us nothing about Sucy what the fuck is wrong with TRIGGER holy shit.

Look, it's clear that the script for LWA TV is pretty bad. So this episode just ignored all that character stuff, all that boring world building stuff, and swapped it for fun times.

That's all I can ask for at this point. Fun.

GITS is the rare anime/manga product where a tv spinoff/reboot, in this case Stand Alone Complex, is so much better than the source material and even the lauded theatrical release.

I feel Oshii's Ghost in the Shell movie adaptation is much closer to Shiro's Appleseed manga regarding narration and pace. While that 1988 mediocre Appleseed OVA seems closer to the original Ghost in the Shell manga.

No Akko mess ups and no Diana showing us how great she is and all of a sudden one of the best episodes in the series! Actually was a lot of great animated segments and Sucy's VA must have had some fun with a bunch of different voices.

That's what I expected jumping into this series and this episode shows they need to just focus on their strength.

Ok this is so good!

We begin with the biggest *oh so this is what it is moment* following episode 6. Then the awesome comedy continue witht the Tarzan and Jane project...that was hilarious. But then HOLY SHIT Drew what is this! That state was absolutely gory, I'm shocked! Great ending tho, Dr.Love is a really cool addition to the cast.

Also yea pretty cool that tokyo ghoul season 3 is pretty much confirmed.

Is it bad that I'm already looking toward to the Spring season in a few weeks? Pretty good mix of tuff coming up, with some of it surely to be trash and not too much for "mature" titles...

Boku no Hero Academia 2nd Season
Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ♭
Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Gaiden: Sword Oratoria
Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul
Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho
Clockwork Planet
Eccentric Family 2
SukaSuka, What are you doing at the end? Are you busy? Can you save me?
Tsuki ga Kirei
Tsugumomo
Fukumenkei Noise

Maybe, if I can watch through Season 1:
Shingeki no Kyojin Season 2
 
A season with My Hero Academia season 2 is obviously going to be the best season of the year. Spring was the best season last year too.

Bonus for
Boruto
Attack on titan
A new show with CLAMP's design
BBB and Beyond
And ATOM
 
I dont see We Love Rice on anyones spring lists, does no one want pretty boy rice?

Starmyu, YGO VRAINS!, Futurecard Buddyfight 4, GranBLue, Kabuki Club, Tomica Hyper Rescue, and Boruto are the best of the bunch for next season.

This is a legit good year for nominations. Zootopia, Monoa, Red Turtle, Kubo, all had good merits to win, and appealed greatly to different audiences. You want a bad year to bitch about? Bitch about this one:

Big Hero 6 – Don Hall, Chris Williams and Roy Conli
The Boxtrolls – Anthony Stacchi, Graham Annable and Travis Knight
How to Train Your Dragon 2 – Dean DeBlois and Bonnie Arnold
Song of the Sea – Tomm Moore and Paul Young
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya – Isao Takahata and Yoshiaki Nishimura

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

god damn it

Is someone doing an OT for that?

I don't believe anyone has claimed in in the |OT| OT yet, so go claim it if you want it.


Dennou Coil ep.20

Back to back excellent episodes full of intensity. I can't believe there was a
confession from Yusako in absolute space; kinda awkward confessing after speaking with Ken's dead ex-lover in absolute space though.
Sounds like someone is missing now though and I have a feeling it's
Daichi

Kemono Friends 02

The character interactions are so playful. Bag and Serval's greetings to one another are so endearing. And the fact that the protag calls herself Bag is hilarious.

I'm noticing a theme of displaying the unique strengths of animal species which is then contrasted to human ingenuity. Both episodes start with Bag feeling inadequate to her kemono friends but in the end her inventiveness helps solve issues they could never solve themselves.



I had plans to precure but somehow started this instead.

Kenya Boy - Sweet jesus. So this is what it's like when Nobuhiko Obayashi, the director of Hausu directs an anime. From the ever-shifting art style, the weird fourth-wall breaks / knowingness of the weirdness, the live-action and 3DCG bookends, to the inclusion of
lizard people, nazis, and dinosaurs
, culminating in a
fight between a giant snake and a t-rex slathered in video effects before the protag and crew ride the half-pixelated glowing snake on a psychedelic tidal wave to safety
, this was just all over the place and I enjoyed it quite a bit!

Careful not to cut yourself.
Seems like there's no breaks on Canon's great despair train. Note to self; when finally transported into land of 2d waifus, never pick time travel powers.


Because of all the harping about Kaburagi's older sister, I thought I forgot some major character from Right of Left but even provisional wiki check makes it seem like she was some minor fodder character. Well excuse me, you have ( and always had) enough of those as it is. Can't expect me to remember every single one.

Little Witch Academia Episode 8:

Certainly the best episode by a country mile thus far and indeed Sucy has been needing her time in the spotlight.
