On a side note, I've been finally getting around to watching Penguindrum (from ep2) and just finished ep10. This show is kinda dumb and annoying and all over the place, but the good episodes like 9 make me want to forgive it. I don't know what to do.

Man, they even have a flyer promoting the Stranger project stuff. I think this was handed out at some Eureka Seven event yesterday night.

Can't wait to find out what part 2 and 3 of the anniversary project are!!!

It never stops being all over the place, but the second half of the show is stronger in that it remembers to do things with characters other than Ringo, and I think you'll appreciate several episodes that come later. I loved the whole show so my viewpoint is going to be biased but I do think there's stuff for you to enjoy.

Hayate no Gotoku 28

What are you doing there, Jigen?

I think I'd be just as frightened that Schwarzwald is just down the street.

Hayate is pure reference porn.

This was a major reason why I couldn't make it through the second season. No references, 10000x times the harem shit.

FSN Spoilers
Ea's not a one-on-one weapon, it's an area of effect attack. It's even classified as an anti-world noble phantasm. The problem is that without Avalon, Saber has no way of surviving Ea, and we know from FSN that Gilgamesh doesn't kill her. Rider and his army however...

Ah, I see. I have limited knowledge of F/SN so any statements I made regarding
Ea and Gilgamesh's use of it
are entirely speculative. From what you say, I'd agree that
Gil is more likely to use it against Rider
.

Some of the individual scenes and episodes of Penguin Drum are absolutely brilliant, but as a whole the show is messy, wildly inconsistent, and unsatisfying. It was poorly planned on Ikuhara's part - he had so many ideas that he wanted to stuff in that he didn't bother to stop and think about how they fit together. I found it a worthwhile watch, if far from the masterpiece some in here view it as.

I approve of duckroll's list.

If this does end up leading to more Stranger with awesome action, I'll be all for it.

Otani finally manned up and kissed Koizumi! Good job!

Nobu's rage moments are the best moments. Love her so much.

The climactic scene of Nanba Mutta and the Astronaut's Stone

Poor Mutta, he really is past his prime.
I really wonder how he's going to actually beat out all of these other guys and it still feel halfway realistic. A whole generation of kids are going to think that they can get admitted to JAXA just on determination and spirit :(
.

Mutta's future waifu is pretty adorable, even if her extremely fastidious note-taking and love of broccoli frighten me. Other posters have already addressed the creepy implications of
her comparing Mutta to her father
, and I'd rather not think of it any further lest it taint her character for me. Mutta's hangups are funny,
wanting to fuck your father
not so much.

Space Bros. Ep.03

The show is still growing on me. It had the most intense lung capacity test I've ever seen in a show.

I don't think this is weird at all.
She clearly admired her father so she would want to be with someone who had some of his better qualities. It's not at all like she want's to have sex with her father.
GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE GUTTER! :p
 
Hi!

Which one of them are without much fight? I am tired of all the shonens... Something along the Code Geass (which is well balanced in other fronts) is also good; thx!

He has a degree in mechanical engineering and was for many years a succesful lead engineer. Mutta is nether an idiot nor without talent... I would say Mutta is a pretty good role model

I didn't say that he was an idiot or without talent, just that he's objectively not in as good a physical shape as the younger candidates. It has nothing to do with his character or overall qualification to be an astronaut.

Upotte!! 2


This show should clearly be about the big sisters
and Sig
.

But the episode was actually fun, haha. Stepping away from the middle schoolers are sexy thing is always a good move in my book.

And the guys behind the show sure know their guns.
 
Mysterious Girlfriend X 2:
Good once again. I loved the dream sequences, just like in the first episode, and I think the relationship is managing to come across well. The show is nailing the awkwardness of teen romance while also setting up this pretty unique relationship between these characters.

Also, lots of stimulation.

Holy shit.
Lost it when Berserker showed up and I adore just how frightening Kiritsugu is with his methods. Guy is cold as ice.

Everything is tsundere to me
Upotte!! 02
That was actually alot of fun, and while the show may never have the animation budget to pull off slick and powerful action sequences like other shows can, they did well enough with what they had. They're really great at pulling stuff straight from the comic too. It's a great adaptation.

I don't think that the test listing was meant to be scrutinized closely

Man, this show just makes me feel so badass and patriotic for some reason...

Koizumi you dumbass! Why in the world would you go to a concert with a guy that Otani thought kissed you the day before?! Here's hoping Nobu smacks some sense into her in the following episode.
 
Ah My Goddess TV 20
Well, this brings up endless possibilities.
So another Keiichi has to save Belldandy episode expect with a twist, Keiichi gets turned into a girl and still has to save Belldandy. A lot of fun though just with that little change, so good job show.

Episode 9 is the SHAFT episode though.

I feel like it's a show where the parts are greater than the whole. There are moments of absolute brilliance, but as an interconnected and complete work it's not as effective as it should be. I guess it's like the LOST of anime.

That's a really good comparison, considering how both shows like to use twists for shock value that don't make a lot of sense in the bigger picture. Fortunately Penguin Drum didn't get dragged out as much as Lost did, so it wasn't as frustrating.
 
MGX 2

I know I shouldn't be thinking too deeply about this... but her drool glows. But so do her panties!

Correlation?


And questions about Fate Zero15

Can the bug guy only shoot bugs from the front or something? For all the interesting stuff happening this eps... that was a low point.

Also... what was the whole point of marking where the blob monster will re appear?

eurgh, i'm gonna skip on watching anything tonight as staying up till like 6am to finish off yami and a bunch of other shit's starting to really catch up to me.
You shouldn't sacrifice your health for garbage like Yami.
 

firehawk12

Subete no aware
but i don't know if i could handle that much yuri at once...

fuck it, i guess i'll give it a shot tomorrow!

So firehawk's saying that to achieve yuri nirvana we should watch Strawberry Panic and Kannazuki no Miko together then marathoning 4 seasons of Marimite?

I think my yuri goggles are going to so broken that they'll turn into yaoi goggles after this.

You guys are close to achieving a new transcendent state of yuriness. Do your best!
 
I blame outdated school policy that continually refuses to teach safe drool exchange in favor of drool abstinence.

Well, thankfully, the second episode shot down the notion that droll swapping is a gateway to hand holding, so I think we might start to see some progress in this field in the near future. It's a brave new world we live in.
