I always kind of felt like the show favored her even though she didn't really have any defining personality traits like any of the other girls. She just........blushed a lot, or something. I think that I mostly resent her for being part of why S2 was so different from S1.
For some reason, I never had any problems with Nagi. She's probably one of the most likeable tsunderes in anime.
I guess it just never bothered me much. And really my only problem with Nagi is that she's much younger than the rest of the girls and is made to be the "main" one. If she were the same age as the others I wouldn't be so adverse to her I suppose.
Then the problem with Hinagiku is that she didn't strongly embody any particular trope, not even the "normal girl" trope that sometimes exists in tropey harems. I wouldn't be surprised if "student council president" is considered a valid personality trope in Japan!
Hayate no Gotoku! Movie
Terrible terrible terrible. The plot didn't start till halfway into the movie not to mention it's weak. Voice acting is not natural and execution throughout is poor including the animation. Oh manglobe, how far you have fallen.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the whole arc of this series.
I've only watched Zero season 1.
All i know is that zero is a prequel to fate/stay night.. which was originally an "adult" game/visual novel on the PC.. I don't know where Extra, blade works or any of that ties into it..
The more I watch this the more I begin to feel that an individual episode can create tension well enough but the series as a whole so far has a terrible time of maintaining it.
Shiba Inuko-san 1
Underwhelming start. I hope it's more substantial and not half commercial for other stuff here on out.
Heartcatch Precure 6
Too much focus on the cameragirl made this one a snore.
Altered OP? What delicious attention to detail. Minako is so top tier especially when Usagi feeds a situation with her own antics. And you know what? I'm a lot less weirded out by the Utena movie car scenes now. I never thought that would be possible. Amazing episode all around.
The highlight of this episode was this bizarre rotating pullback shot that came out of nowhere, served to only be disorienting, and I think to hide the lack of lip flaps. Still garbage.
G Gundam 32
The scenes where all defeated the Gundam Fighters were sitting around bitching about Domon gave me a distinct Almost Got 'im vibe. The strange designs of the various fighters only furthers this feeling. Also interesting to see a group to counter the Shuffle Alliance forming. Honestly thought all the silly Gundams introduced at the start of this part of the tournament were going to be throwaway.
Gundam 00 S2 10
Kati Mannequin's more youthful design looked so awkward, like it's her older self dressed up as it while Billy and Sumeragi looked right. In fact the design used later during the Emilio flashback seemed more fitting for the college scene. Maybe this is just because she always have that overly serious look on her face.
I'm beginning to dislike everything to do with the Innovators too although the ending of this episode presented a threat of appreciable scale (that'll probably be gone in a couple more eps.)
And was that some Hallelujah? Fuck yes.
Infinite Stratos 11-12 FIN
This ended up a lot like Yami. Show had some interesting ideas it couldn't execute properly, failed to balance the mecha fun and the harem hijinx, and unfortunately some interesting fights were wasted towards the end, particularly the big finale that had a great sense of speed and urgency. The surreal stuff in these last two episodes was entirely out of place but at least it had Pika-tan.
Pretty cool episode overall, it is interesting how we have a main without the X-rounder abilities while his father does and close friend though try to reach their levels, I like it.
Though I hope overall he ends up getting them after this experience with faux X-rounder abilities
Desil just cant ever catch a break at all
.
Next episode looks intense
a true assault on Big Ring, hopefully Zehearto, Desil, and the Magician's Eight can actually win some
Between the pre-OP segement of Kemonozume 10 and this episode, I'm convinced Eun Young Choi is a serious drug user. It certainly makes for visuals that are interesting to watch.
There was one thing I didn't understand about this episode's story:
Why was Kaiba so concerned about the loss of his dinosaur body? It was a placeholder one he was thrown into to begin with, and wasn't very good. From the way he acted, you'd think it was his original body.
Then the problem with Hinagiku is that she didn't strongly embody any particular trope, not even the "normal girl" trope that sometimes exists in tropey harems. I wouldn't be surprised if "student council president" is considered a valid personality trope in Japan!
That's exactly what she is though! She's the strict seitokaichou. Basically, a character who resembles a teacher but is allowed to have sex with the protagonist because they happen to be around the same age.

Compared to Seiya and Tenma at similar points in their lives, Kouga's no more than a whiny brat. I'm going to guess his journey to manhood is gonna cost us a couple of episodes.
Other than that: Umakoshi's art in motion looks amazing, and so does Mars's design.
I don't think ufotable is looking into adapting FSN anyway, judging from a presentation they did at Waseda University last year. I mean, things have most likely changed since then, but FSN was already an established hot property before Fate/Zero aired so I doubt it would've changed much.
From start to finish, this episode was amazing. There was a lot more effort put into the facial animation than usual, and it really helped make the emotional scenes more impactful.
Blossom's fight with her other self was fairly typical "You need to accept yourself!" stuff, but the animation, editing, composition, <insert random pizzaroll phrases here>, were all very well done.
All the Precures got their new level ups, complete with a new transformation (that was unfortunately marred by all the shitty CG toys Toei shoves in) and new outfits! And now they can do attacks on the scale of TTGL!
This was one of my favorite episodes yet. And next episode is an Erika episode! Magical girl shows don't get much better than this.
I think he insulted Zidane's sister. Some people say that Italy's coach knew some of Zidane's personal life because they were both in Juve for a couple years, and told Materazzi to make Zidane uneasy with that info

Actually, they're girls that are actually "allowed" to be tsundere by virtue of the authority they have over the class. A bit of eating your cake and having it too, I suppose. I mean, even one of the girls from Amagami SS is a class prez too, after all!
The start of the episode had me a little worried, given the characters that appeared on screen and the direction the episode seemed to be going, but then everything started to fall into place and I was greeted by some cuteness overload, like this whole event:
Lupin the Third S1 1-4 - Watching this right now to prepare for KOIKELUPIN. It's okay so far, these episodes are fun to watch; but a bit soulless. Looking forward to getting to the miyazaki / takahata episodes.
