I think croise is a prime example of a show that can't survive by having a cute Main character only ..I stopped at ep 5 because i found everything and everyone was so dull. Does anything happens later ( in term of character develloppement ) or does the show only feature the cajun: japanese doll in paris ?
I loved the scenes with Yune being adorable, but later on there are parts without her in it and I found those terribly dull.

Persona 4 The Animation 16-22

I'm completely hooked, haha. Thank the heavens for Carnival being a four days-long holiday here!

Finishing episode 22
without previous experience with the game must've been quite shocking. I mean, having to wait one entire week to see the biggest bait-and-switch ever resolved...

Btw, speaking of rotoscoping, I think I'm finally going to be able to watch One Piece Film Z next week! The opening sequence is apparently rotoscoped (the credits specifically listed the animator as "rotoscope animator"), although I have no idea what it actually shows. Should be... interesting. Lol.

I'm jelly.

What does AnimeGAF think of A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun?

I love both and am very much looking forward to Railgun S in Spring and the movie whenever it gets subbed. <3 Saten, Misaka, Accelerator and Last order... Touma is good too I guess :p

edit: also I like index but she does get annoying at times, especially when she bites Touma for accidents and at least once when he didn't even do anything.

Kenshin episode 32

I knew kaoru wouldn't be left behind but I sure was hoping she was.
 
Humanity has declined 2

Pretty hilarious episode. If they can keep up the comedy and really random moments then it may become really memorable. I liked lots of stuff in the factory especially the conference and parts thereafter.

Was kind if dumb how she let herself get caught in a cage after the funny translation glasses scene, if only she were a smarter and more assertive protagonist than she could be somewhat decent, but assistant was the real star. Was so excited to see him bust in the conference room flashing the camera with the gunshot sound scaring all the talking skinless chickens, and his expression, so serious and earnest. I hope this wont only be his highlight moment.

Wonder whats next with this incident done, dont think they have a long term solution to meat.

Watching Jinrui for long term story is doing it wrong.

Kinda spoilers but not really:

The episodes aren't in chronological order anyway.
 
Jojo 14 - 15: Lisa Lisa is so cool. I already love her. She better not die during the fight with the pillars men. Or there will be blood (But sadly it will be mine after commiting suicide :/)

&#8704; Gundam: Called Turn-A-Gundam 46
Harry too stronk. Another fairly low key episode where we essentially witness more battle preparations and a small fight against some Zaku I(?) clones.

&#8704; Gundam: Called Turn-A-Gundam 47
The more I see of her the more I'm getting fond of Merrybell. Best new character!

Should've hung them up higher, near the ceiling imo.

Really I'd like it the other way, with their feet at the ground, so you can walk over and be eye-to-eye
or lips-to-lips
with them, but too much of them would be covered by the bed and whatnot, and they'd also be covering electrical outlets, so settled for this.

Ryvius really is a great show.
I hope it gets a decent Blu-ray release at some point.

Because it won't wake up when I try to molest it at night.

Anyways, Kagami show us the back side of that Kobato pillow!

Haha, here's stand-alone photos of them. NSFWish.

Kotoura-san Episode 1

Unintended comedy of the season?

Seriously watch the beginning of this

http://www.crunchyroll.com/kotoura-san/episode-1-kotoura-san-and-manabe-kun-617183
I'm not sure it's unintended!
I enjoyed Kotoura-san a lot at first but my enthusiasm's waned. Hopefully it'll pull out some more tricks.

Maybe you should start watching and post impressions after each episode /*evil smile */

Gundam AGE 1

Fully expecting this to be some sort of halfway competent show more in line with super robot sensibilities and actually hindered by the Gundam pedigree due to associated expectations. UE existence and the lackluster Genoace design isn't enough to dissuade me from this notion yet.

Gintama 05-06

I finally was able to watch a few more episodes of Gintama. I am liking the show so far. It's not OMFG amazing, but no shounen are like that at the beginning. I am excited to hit the "shit got real" part though.

Good characters, some nice lighthearted stories, nothing special so far, but I see the potential.
 
Kids on the Slope 2

Many memorable moments made it really entertaining though I dont think I like the romances forming, or I guess characters actions and comments on one another make the forced romances seem weak and unwanted. Ri-chan just feels out of place and a distraction for Kaoru...
The additional girl feels odd, really odd love at first sight scene and shocked Sentaro is implied to go with her?

Kaoru ought to admit friendship already, hes with Sentaro so much that denying it makes me chuckle while watching.
Especially considering that he was even saved from bullies and stared in admiration at him twice during the episode. Beyond that, they were some pretty dumb bullies, there were a wide assortment of other things they could have attempted while having him tied up, it lacked suspense and came out a bit too comical...but still led to really silly/fluffy scenes. Fun

Anyway really fun and the music live session was amazing, I hope theres tons more with Jun and etc, full band with the piano, they sounded great.

Kemonozume - 3 "A Weary New Moon's Night"

Wow. What an incredible episode.

Seriously, I was captivated from beginning to end. First off, this episode looked good. As being Toshiyuka and Yuka's "road episode", it darted around from location to location as they haphazardly try to enjoy the moment while also discover what they should be doing. In retrospect, there's no real annunciation to their next location (sans the house), they just end up in these places, but it doesn't feel forced. I feel this is a really telling element of a good director. Having all these memorable set pieces (thanks to the tremendous art and lighting) I think is what made this episode such a winner.

As for the direction the plot is actually taking, it's a pretty natural progression, but while the scenario exists in a very believable manner, it still manages to push forward the charm that makes it unique. It's quite an impressive balance. I'm really enjoying the chemistry between the couple, too.

I'll say it again. I wonder if this momentum can be kept up...

What does AnimeGAF think of A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun?
Index and railgun are good shows that did the best they could to adapt a very complex world . While entertaining , many step of the show are cast aside leading to confusion to the viewer and a sentiment of bad pacing .
Railgun is better at pacing than index, mainly because the anime added a lot of stuff and as a result looks more appealing.

The complete flowcharts of characters and powers in the index universe is more complex than the tenchi muyo jurai familly tree. Quite an achievement.

There is this nun in the story that might seem annoying, but rest assured that aside from the start of the story , she is nowhere near close to the important things happening..so enjoy the rest of the show.

Not sure about shy lemons but the :
"all the tips to get your harem as diverse as possible"

Should have been in the cover.

As well as a mention in small characters " Plot armor required "

Yeeeess. A new sacrifice has been made.
Place your bets ! How long will narag last before he gaves up and drop this show ?

Fate/Zero 1

Wow, hype start. I feel like I might be too new to the franchise to fully enjoy this, but I'm psyched.

(Only played Fate/Extra on the PSP and loved it.)


Dat Saber.
 
Fate/Zero 2 (rewatch) 15/16

Somehow it seemed way more beautiful than before, like the gold colors rising from all the plants, leaves, water, and then the backgrounds.

Still got angry at the whole fight
why Ryuunosuke have to be first loser. He was the refreshing personality on the cast and all and his missing presence is felt even in 16 when it gets all dark serious again.

Fate/Zero was my first entry into the franchise and I found it to be pretty amazing, so I don't think you'll have any trouble enjoying it!

On a random note, there's apparently a one-shot in next week's Weekly Shonen Jump called "Glass Feet". When I saw that I had to do a double-take to make sure I was reading the name correctly.
