Blade of the Immortal 4
This ep felt like an attempt at the poor man's Samurai Champloo. The manji, other dude thing basically took the crux of mugen and jin, and just said told it to the viewer instead of stretching it over the series, lol. Still, it ended up one of the more entertaining eps so far. That OP song is so badass.
Also, that music direction is so Mashimo. Somewhere between Tylor and Phantom, he lost restraint.

Oooooo Legend of Legendary Heroes looks decent.
It's mediocre.
I found it to be average, but I liked watching it, and was fun for me to watch. It's up my alley of things I like, and i'm always a sucker for that kind of setting no matter what the show.
I remember being disappointed that the show went from a goofy fantasy show to . . . whatever the hell it became later. Political junk.
I read the stuff that comes after the show, and man, it makes me wish for a second season (I know it'll never happen). There's so much more awesome that comes later. I liked some of the political stuff, and also I just like Ferris and Kiefer.
I can agree with you for the most part, but it satisfied a sweet spot in my tastes at any rate.

I wouldn't lie, I would watch a series of not|friends playing a jRPG together. This is the second time they are doing a Let's Play a RPG together, and it was still just as hilarious, especially with adding more characters into the mix. Seeing Kobato upset that she's being ignored and the resultant fight against Maria only made the episode more enjoyable to watch.
She is such an adorable necromancer.

She's a pimp and Mugi is totally her ho.

It made me laugh how nonchalant her expression was in that scene, since she just waves Lan over like "yeah, come to daddy."

Garzey's Wing 2 (Dub)
"If you taste it or smoke it, you get happy and do crazy things!" - Woman #4
Aah, love sprouting on the battlefield.
I am enjoying this "So bad, it's actually good" three-parter. The dub, the villain's lines, the animations, the voice pacing, lizards with 90's tiger sound effects all fuse to make for an entertaining package.
I'm surprised they even put some of the dubbed lines in the menu. It would have certainly made for a great newcomer's surprise to hear the first few lines of the actual first part!

Interesting ep.

Shit's getting kind of real. Parties are starting to come out of the closet, and Manji's
OP song is still badass.

they made sure to give the crazy haired guy sympathy scenes. It also makes sense though, since he was the one that tried to defend Rin's mother when they tore through the dojo

The first three minutes was great. They make the vox look great in action and the colors splendid. Similarly the last three minutes was great, and Array. Next episode looks fun,

I did like the orca lan part, kind of touching, I guess.

I love how deep and complex the plot gets while still incorporating friendship, its nice.
Plot advancements were great and next episode hopefully delivers on the backstory.

Jikugawa and Cubics part, and when he was squeezing his face, and Cubic was getting emotional and such over being friends with everyone was nice. Nonoha being involved with Kaito to when he was accessing beyond human levels of brain activity was touching, actually teared up in it.
Plot advancements were great and next episode hopefully delivers on the backstory.
Jin and Principal were also Phi Brain candidates maybe? And why is the principal able to roam free, isnt he captured?

I can hear Geneijin sharpening his knives from here.
Time of Eve ONA/film (END)
I really don't have much to say about Time of Eve other than it's a very good sci-fi anime. It finds an appropriate midpoint between comedy and drama. The animation is, for the most part, very good and I found the designs to be very appealing. The lighting in particular was really immersing. I think my one critique is that it was too short. It left me wanting more. I found Akiko to be cutest character I've seen in recent memory and I'm really disappointed that we didn't get to see much of her.

Yeah, I probably should have just looked up the differences between the two versions earlier, then I would have just watched the movie only instead using it as a follow-up to the ONA. The movie really shed some light on the questions I had after finishing the ONA.

Yosukes was the best unfair. Date cafe was fun too. The other parts of development in the episode were kind of dull. I mean, who was even the misses in the pageant and trombone girl felt as filler like the episode when Yu was running billions of errands.

Garzey's Wing 3 (Dub)
Garzey's Wing - More explosions than expected from Michael Bay (albeit more modest)
Explosive Arrow to the NUTS! Raw, no holds barred, action!
Notable people:
-Ms.Hassan-san for being called Hassan-san
-Soldier that can lasso a shoelace around a fairy's leg. I mean, seriously, fuckin' props man.
-Tawrad for being able jump across mountain tops like Hulk while throwing bombs.
-Ya-ma-to-tak-eru-no-mi-koto for being called Ya-ma-to-tak-eru-no-mi-koto (Say that five times fast).
Walk of Shame
- Chris' gf for
Wait, he helped kill probable hundreds and throws up ove
Okaaaaaay.
Ending: "What the fuck?, said the driver behind Chris."
That was pretty darn enjoyable. And has most definitively earned the spot as best bad dub I've ever witnessed. Thanks wonzo for this recommendations, it was fun.
Now for me to watch Bunny Drop this week...
Do I need to prepare to cry?
Mmmm. That green transformation sequence...very eye-catching.

Well Andy finally gets a chance
. Bros before holes and other donut hole references were kind of funny and hilarious. Otherwise, Andy for second favorite character after Amata and Kagura. Pretty solid episode
. The best song played and the union was most memorable all the lines for all of them, were great.
Well Andy finally gets a chance
but Amata stands in his way
even if the Big Bang Union Redux just stood there

Muteki Kanban Musume 1
This is it. This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. A hot-blooded female protagonist turning a mundane setting into FUCKAWESOME.
Miki is the kind of character that is seriously underused in anime. Well I guess you could say the trope itself isn't underused, but it is rarely applied to her gender and executed so perfectly. While the premise may not be the perfect fit for an idiot female shounen protagonist, it definitely works.
And then we got Megumi, who is equally as hot-blooded and awesome. The story regarding the chalk-throwing training just kept escalating in such a way that it all culminated into one hilarious absurdist scenario.
My only concern so far is it seems to be rather episodic. Should be fine though. At least this is a start.

So many emotions I felt.
Though rather confused on the actual plot.

Nishijima didnt deserve to die he was so good. If Kousaka the brilliant, and the best character in the series, Akise, die, well this may be the second most I would have cried ever over anime characters.
Though rather confused on the actual plot.
Murmur isnt actually in league with Deus, I thought they were imagination, what does she benefit from the next god. It feels like they breezed over it fast, as well as Deus in his own bubble place.
Haters be damned green hair is best hair.

This episode was a return to form and I'm pleased that the tasteless fanservice was nowhere to be seen. This week's revelations cleared up one big concern that I had about where the plot was going, that being
. I was getting increasingly concerned that the show
when Lagrange has been devoid of these elements thus far, but fortunately we avoided this and instead were given the interesting revelation concerning
. The introduction of
elements just wouldn't have meshed with the established world or the mood of the show.
Now in news concerning the real reason that most of us are watching Lagrange, Lan is still somehow managing to top herself in HNNNNNNNNG from week to week. We had depressed Lan, awkward Lan, and best of all.

Just a beautiful, pure friendship between girls.

the reason that the Voxes are considered "legendary" and have prophesies associated with them
would take the nature of the Voxes in an overly magical or supernatural direction
the people of Le Garite being the descendants of refugees of an ancient advanced society on Earth, with the Voxes being lost technology that somehow destroyed that society

Nice of the subbers to ruin the joke with the unnecessary TL note.

More velvet room parts, the long nosed song was funny. I liked how we had development of the characters. Interaction among the main cast is always good, really enjoyed Kanji Yosukes Teddie parts. Oh and Naoto has the best voice, and personality among the female cast, precious. Hopefully shes playable party member in the game (yu, yosuke, kanji, naoto, I hope).
