Happy basuday UltimaDrabro!



Reine was the best girl until Kurumi arrived, it's true.



One of my favorite eyecatches myself, Perrine has a decent amount of art in that outfit.

Reine really is quite incredible. She was knocked down a few tiers for not beinv a spirit. If she was Kurumi would have serious competition.

The website for yuri action anime Akuma no Riddle officially opened, with a clean version of the new key visual from Newtype that would probably make a great phone wallpaper for SDBurton or something.
By the way, I think it's kind of amusing that official sites sometimes are useless for actual information since it all gets leaked through magazines early anyway.

I still have stronk Mikasa with her delicious abs as my mobile wallpaper, but maybe its time to change it.

I wonder if they're trying to tell me to watch it.

Lol, the art, the red/blue colors for the girls, and "yuri action" makes me think of Kannazuki no Miko. :V

Looking forward to this show, especially short hair there. So good.

Hopefully we'll only see any given flashback once!

Maturity, bitches.
It's not my fault I watched this after everyone else so I don't have much to add - 1

I admit I only read the first few chapters of this so after a few episodes most of this will be new to me. Had a nice energy to it and the OP wasn't quite as bad as I feared after seeing the term screamo being mentioned.

Blood Blud 1

It had tits.

Servant x Service 1

It also had tits.

Stella McCartney's Highschool Rambo Hyjinx with C3

Mite b cool.


So what other shows should I watch?
 
Yikes! How many pages has it been since I was last here? Let's see what we've got here then...

We have a birthday to Ultimadrago so a happy birthday to him!

Corvo still hasn't watched Madoka episode 4...

Trigger is making LWA 2, considering dubbing it...

And I gotta watch the next episode of School Days. Hasn't been painful, but it can't get too bad. I mean it can't be as bad as SAO.
 
Watamote Ep 01

Do well on the midterm to become more popular because popularity leads to intimacy.

It's a good first episode. I'm curious where this show will go.

Does Crunchyroll always have this much every season? This is the first time i'm subscribing to them and i have almost a show a day. Not bad for 7 bucks a month. Certainly beats Hulu and probably Funimation.

Honestly if CR had gotten Blood Lad there would almost be no reason to go anywhere else for anime this season. They got pretty much every other major show.

A bunch of the shows they got this season arent actually simulcasts like Monogatari.

This is the weakest CR season in a while.

Futari wa Precure Splash Star 44

Praise be to No New Anime Tuesday for giving me a chance to watch some more Precure!

Oh dear, Mizu Shitatare is right back to her usual failtastic tricks. This time she's disguised herself as an employee at the zoo Saki and Mai are visiting (along with Michiru, Kaoru and little Minori too). I really don't know why she bothers, it's not like the disguise even serves any purpose this time.

The real trouble this episode was the revelation - confirmed by both Filia and Mizu Why-are-you-so-shit-atare - that
Michiru and Kaoru are in danger of disappearing entirely if Dark Fall...well, falls. Since the two of them were revived using a combination of light and dark energy, the disruption of either side could result in them blinking out of existence.
This news causes the Cures to falter in battle, unsure how to continue if their ultimate objective could result in the loss of their friends. But Michiru and Kaoru, being awesome as usual, give the Cures a pep talk on how they shouldn't lose hope - as long as they do their best to follow the path they believe in, there will always be a way.

So they take care of Dorodoron once and for all, while Mizu Shitatare runs away to fight another day. Just two revived bad guys left to take care of, then!

Well yeah its been great for a while now. Definitely worth it although the PS3 app is still ass, although not as bad as it was when it first came out.

Wish the Vita app was out today :(

Yeah, the ps3 app is so ass i use the Roku app, even though it doesn't get hd yet. It beats sitting at my computer or having constant buffering or crashing issues on the ps3 though.

I just meant the actual shows they had not when they air, even fan subs are delayed so I can't really be upset if it doesn't air exactly during or after the Japanese version.

School Days :D

anime is saved.

Youve got a nice avatar!
 
Haha! I observe that Nafe is first on the year-long "Community Birthdays" case per usual. I believe I told you a while back, but I didn't think you'd note it. The thought's appreciated. And yes, it is exhilarating indeed to indulge Sakamoto-style on such an anniversary!

Happy birthday Ultima!

#1 Tear fan!

One of the greatest parts of these is how you throw Shitatare under a bus each time.
 
School Days - 3

Yeesh! Kotonoha is making Nagisa from Clannad seem like a chatterbox! For crying out loud, speak in longer sentences! But other than that those two are adorable together.

Sekai, will you just admit that you are secretly a mean witch and the only thing you want is for Makoto to break up? Get it through your head bitch, you ain't getting him.

HNNNNG that scene with the little sister and them. Too :Cajun.

LOOOOOL What a little troll Kotonoha is on the inside! Telling him to
close his eyes only to kiss him on the cheek.
Thankfully our main character can take a-

You what.

What.

No. You can't. You can't possibly be that stupid! YOU CAN'T!

Seriously? Thats rough.

PS3 app used to be 480p at first too and crashed every other minute and hardlocked my system like half a dozen times before I gave up. Haven't had any hard locks lately but the constant buffering is always an issue on the PS3.

CR is pretty terrible at supporting their shit. They announced the Vita app more than a year ago and now they reannounced it. Oh well at least its not vaporware like the Hulu app :/

Episode the Fourth

Well yeah, kiddo. Maybe next time you'll think a minute before making a deal with something so obviously demonic. It's like Japanese school girls have never once seen anything where a wish went wrong. Maybe its just recent events in my own life, but Madoka having a hard time explaining the loss of her friend to others around her is pretty poignant to me.

Also I don't know what Christmas Cake and the Present Participle have to do with one another. Madoka's grammar teacher needs fired like yesterday. Kyube's "Everyone wants to get paid" line is pretty significant if you apply it directly to him. What does Kyube get out of this? I can't believe he's just doing it out of the goodness of his heart, since Kyube seems utterly unaffected by Mami's loss, and I'd think anyone, God or Demon, who actually invested emotionally in this project would be upset to lose a like minded individual or friend.

His "Only Puella Magi can criticize each other" is some serious bullshit, though. I shouldn't have to sell my soul to you, Kyube, to say that the people who work for you suck. His "My time here is ogre" is transparently manipulative, too. I mean, I could see having no time to spare with people unwilling to commit to your goals, but you threw these girls into this and made them watch someone die. Take a moment's responsibility, you sadistic, manipulative demon.

UGH WHINY BRATTY ANIME ANGST FOR NO REASON ABOUT CLASSICAL MUSIC FUCK OFF YOU IDIOT.

Meanwhile Kyube has been waiting for exactly this kind of moment of weakness. And Madoka, rather than restrain her friend, is content to watch her skip to her suicide. Madoka is a terrible friend. This whole scene is "Attack of the Living Moe". Madoka exploding in a gory fashion was a surprise. Kid making a fist out of his hand was kinda creepy.

Ha ha, they've been promising an hd enabled update for the Roku for about that long too. I'm hoping the inevitable app for the ps4 doesn't suck ass, i'll probably switch over to that.
