Alright, that's good then.
Yup, it's the Milky Holmes version of The Prince and the Pauper!Ultimadrago said:
At first this episode seemed like an excuse for some of the series' more blatant fanservice (like that costume and tail Sherlock wears...), but that ending
who the prince confesses to, of course I mean
Alright, that's good then.
Gah... Twenty is so messed up, and yet... yeah, he is funny for sure.
Kokoro, on the other hand, is funny for reasons much more like Milky Holmes -- her cute idiocy. That IQ of hers -- keep listening to the numbers she gives as the series progresses... :lol :lol
Also, as a police officer, I'd think she'd have returned that valuable historical relic (that mask) by now... but no, she keeps it.
Still has it, too.
That's the episode where they go into that alternate world, or dream, or whatever, right? That was a kind of weird one, I think...
SLICE OFF LIVES!!!

The same ones that tell you
Alexander the Great rode a flying chariot into battle. No wonder Darius lost.
If believing that is wrong I don't want to be right.
I accept! My love for the genderbent Sengoku genre knows no bounds!
Anyway, I'll be watching at least the first episode of practically everything in spring, so I won't even bother listing them.
The 2nd PV will have been a pretty good troll if it is indeed slice of life. At the very least it seemed to be implying that the show is not just a Iroha+Tamayura ripoff.
The best genre.
Booo

It's Sunrise, so I'm cautious to say the least... but yeah, what exactly is it going to be?
This show is the funniest most entertaining shonen i have yet eitnessed.
So everyone has commented on the merits (or lack thereof) of AKB0048's designs before, but damn.
You just have to stick the knife in to the fans, huh, dres.
That's the girl who left.
I'm pretty sure it's exactly an Iroha+Tamayura rip off except with worse art and a more boring setting. There's nothing in the PV that suggests otherwise. Teenage girls play around with "magic" all the time. It's probably just Secret Base minus the ghost girl, and with more implied yuri.

I wasn't kidding when I said it was meant to steal your soul. It's beckoning for you, Dresden.
Me and Dresden will make a blood pact. We'll watch every last episode of this anime together.
Shame it goes completely downhill by the end of it. Preferred it when it was most grounded in reality. At least they avoided the manga ending.

So they left out like the entire war, and it wasn't bad at all. Really?
They didn't leave the war out at all though? Specific battles, maybe. But they covered most from what I saw.
And, hey, I'm not saying it's AMAZING. I'm saying that I didn't find it 'bad,' and enjoyed it quite a bit while watching.
Haha, poor Dres.
The pact is sealed!

Oh God, I'm tempted to make an AKB0048 teams post now just because you guys are forcing each other to watch it.
Boring. I've watched the first 2 seasons of Ikkitousen, and the first season of Koihime Musou. The 2nd season of Ikki with the faux serious actually wasn't completely terrible.
I'm still not gonna watch that shit.

Glass Fleet: The Legend of the Wind of the Universe 18

Yet another incredible episode from Glass Fleet.
The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.

You'd think they'd run a background check before they hire someone to work at a royal palace.

We don't give a FUCK about AKB48. This is a manly blood pact challenge akin to Survivor and Battle Royale. Good men are going to die along the way, but whoever comes out at the end will be stronger than he ever was before.

looking like a good spring
Per episode posts. No word requirement. Two screenshots per episode post at least.
I'm struggling to find the words to describe it but I find it incredibly hard to fap to his works.
It's on the list for a reason.
It pretty much is going be in that vein though.
but I assume it won't be full-on slice-of-life since it will probably have a plot.chickdigger802

I might join you fellow men if any gif worthy things appear.
"tony taka is shit" is probably what you're looking for.
Looks like I was just over-thinking it.
I miss Seizon Senryaku Thursdays.
Man, you guys don't even know how hyped I am to just see/hear Apollon's OP/ED. "Tank" and "Battle Cry" were amazing, as were the visuals that accompanied. "The Real Folk Blues" and "Shiki no Uta," however, were on another level altogether. "The Real Folk Blues" was an amazing track, but the scrolling credits in the middle always detracted from the apt artwork, imo, and hugely so. Shiki no Uta, on the other hand, had no such issue and was as perfectly scripted as the track was produced.
One more time with me

Holy crap, you guys were right. Every girl he draws does have the same face.
Maybe the tone shift in the last 20-30 seconds is throwing me for a loop. We'll see!
God damn it, at some point before Apollon starts I need to get around to watching Samurai Champloo. I'm so damn lazy; bought the BD back in December and still haven't watched it.
I'm drowning in pleasure, and it feels soooo gooood.
Glass Fleet is a gif goldmine just waiting to be tapped.
Hmm, maybe I should do reaction guys again for one of the spring shows but I ain't got time nowadays.
[Samurai Champloo]
Haha, you've probably heard me say it a million times, but it's my favorite series ever. To me, it's the perfect example of narratological depth, without at all sacrificing accessibility. For example (cont in the reply to Noirulus):
Have you ever noticed that the whole ED is Fuu reminiscing? It may be easy to notice that, but it goes deeper: contrast her gaze out at the beginning of the ED to the downtrodden demeanor at the end--just before it fades out--then think of her attitude throughout the series towards, and eventual conclusion with [MAJOR END SPOILERS]:
Rather than a bunch of nonsense, the ED was used to extend the narrative, and with a tactfulness I've rarely seen in anything. She was incredibly conflicted from the very beginning! Those touches, they're the reason I love that series so much.
I'm getting caught up, holy shit.

her father. She wasn't at all mad at him by time they got to him, though she claimed, for just about the whole series, that she hated him for leaving. And her turn-around wasn't at all just because she learned that he was protecting her mother and her.
I'm getting caught up, holy shit.
