Re:_Hamatora Episode 4

Best one thus far.

Great episode that made me want a spinoff of Birthday's and Ratio's jobs since often theirs is going on behind the scenes while we focus on everyone elses. They would be a blast to follow as often theirs really involves good comedy.

Though odd to introduce minimum holders developing side effects to their powers now, I wonder if its the natural progression as we havent actually seen older minimum holders have we? or maybe its due to some external element theyve been encountering? overusage?
 
Kokoro Connect Episode 1

Here are my impressions for this anime.

So there are 5 individuals who are in a club together. 4 of them have already switched bodies together. This seems interesting, like I wonder whats the cause for this situation. Anyways you guys were right on Miyuki being godly with her voice. Overall this episode was good.

I'm kinda surprised there's at least three visual novel based anime this fall. Four if you count FSN. Those have been so few in number these past few years, so it's good to know they're not completely done with.

Ohh you have NO idea the angelic words you will hear from Inaban in this show. Holy hnnnnng mother of kamisama.
 
Kokoro Connect Episode 2

So we find out that there's some weird presence named Balloon Vine causing this phenomenon. And we have have a silly confession at the end. And oh yeah I have a feeling that there's gonna be some bit of drama, since the cast is uneven between male and female unless I'm mistaken.

Where was this outpouring of Log Horizon love with my earlier posts? This thread clearly moves too fast.

You love fare zero and log horizon? Bro let's just get married.

Good start, but I don't wanna rush into things!

Reason for divorce: Psycho-Pass

Nobody's perfect.

Please don't add titles to my backlog.

Your backlog could use something that isn't 20 years old.

Honestly, I don't know how much you'd like it. The direction is really unremarkable most of the time (though some action pieces in the last few episodes have been surprisingly dynamic), and the presentation and writing/exposition is kind of held back by being an NHK-E show, where simple concepts get explained a lot. The real draw for me so far is the way the scope of the show has gradually broadened, and the thorough attention to detail in world-building, and logically extending the MMO-game-as-fantasy-world concept.

One unexpected upside of it being directed more at kids is the return of certain cartoony exaggerations that remind me of shows I used to watch, before I wound up with all these late-night shows.

Actually , the elder tale game has a Number of patches/expansions in those 20 years. it's unclear what was at the beginning , but it's very probable that most of the stuff that the adventurers have wasn't there at the start.

Solid community , well conceived game with plenty of updates.
the reason why there was beginners in the city after the apocalypse was because they used the expansion release date to buy the game and explore. elder tales did gain a lot of players that way.

Indeed , it's very good to see more characters getting important roles so we can see the story across multiples perspectives. it's easier to expand the viewer POV that way and i love how log horizon does it.

i don't think it was cliché. i think it was just the natural thing to do as a people in power.. it was a natural conclusion as long as you understand that the people of the land aren't just NPCs

I'm sure the game has changed a ton over the years (so have UO and Everquest), but the world-scale map seemed like the big selling point. I can't imagine it not being there at the start.

I hadn't thought about how the release of a new expansion might have affected things in terms of new players.

As for the cliché comment, I was referring to how Minori's party of adventurers talk about saving the town, not about Lenessia's plan.

We should be happy it even got a new season. It had all the variables in a formula that when solved would equal cancelled tv show. Well. You should be an expert on that. Considering... you know.

Its success wasn't just about selling Blu-Rays to crazed otaku, so it had a better chance. That's the nice thing about not being a late-night show.

Yes. Its a show about teenagers. There will be drama :)

Yall think I should change my avy? Im kinda attached to it but maybe for the right character.

Keep your avatar Cajun! I'm still pretty new here, but I really like your avatar and it makes it easy to always know that it's Cajun!

Also I just watched Sabagebu Episode 4, that was some really funny stuff haha. Mom and daughter gun fight inside the house :D

One of my great regrets when it comes to anime was not having enough money at the time to support the Kickstarter for Kick-Heart. I've finally gone and made up for it somewhat; I got a copy of the Japanese BD! I'm pretty sure it's the same discs as the Kickstarter version, but different cover art. As for the BD itself, the picture quality is fantastic, and the subtitles are nice as well. It also includes the English dub, and another audio track called "Fan Dub" which I haven't listened to yet. My only complaint is that on the bonus DVD, Yuasa's pilot for Vampiyan Kids has no subtitles. Still neat that it's there, though.

You're in for more than just a bit.
 
Kokoro Connect Episode 3

I'm really starting to enjoy this anime a lot but I don't know why. Anyways we find out about Yui's emotional problem through Aoki. The way she overcame it was pretty nice and funny. Character interactions have been great. And my favorite character so far for me is Inaban partly because of her voice actor and the way she acts.

I'm also starting to like the opening a bit too.
 
Sailor Moon 24

I so badly want to post a JK don't give a fuck gif to Nephrite's death, but it was actually very well done as was this whole two part affair. Honestly these past two episodes felt like a forbidden love story that just happened to have Sailor Moon in them.

Next week Jupiter comes into play looking forward to that.

Sailor Moon 23-24

That was a lot more touching than Jadeite's final episode. Since Nephrite's plan was better than "slowly roll planes at people" and because he wasn't an ignoramus. It was also vaguely creepy, but the inclusion of the music box version of the OP and the way the scene was played made for something very touching. Also glad to see Naru get a story of her own. Usagi really didn't do much this week at all. Feels like the show took a real step forward.

The important thing is that Makoto's debut is next week. Even when I barely knew anything about the show, she was my favorite.

Naturally this is the case. Inaban is simply the best and theres no way to argue it.
 
I'm gonna continue watching Kokoro Connect tommorrow, cause you know I wanna savor it till the end. Wanna take my time on this series.
 
Gurren Lagann - 25

At the start of this show I wanted Simon and Yoko to get together. After Kamina died I came to my senses and thought Yoko and Kamina were a perfect match, but Kamina was dead so it couldn't happen. After Nia was introduced I wanted Yoko and Simon to be together, again, but Simon and Nia became a thing :( I have always disliked Kittan throughout the show, and seeing him take an interest in Yoko in the past few episodes has been aggrivating. But...

in episodes 25 I felt it was okay for Yoko and Kittan to be a pair. But, like Yoko's last love, Kittan died in battle. Now if only Simon would ditch Nia and get with Yoko, but that isn't going to happen. It is said to see Yoko end up lonely, but she may somehow be with someone within the next two episodes.

This show has been pretty good. It is sad to see it end, especially when the ending song is very good (reminds me of the original Naruto for some reason). Are the movies any good?

This show is.... weird. It's not good but it's not bad either. The pacing is shit though.

I'm sorry, Sora, but that's not how brothers handle their sisters. Still. At least he admits there is a line concerning banging his sister. Banging siblings will always be super awkward *cough* Suguha *cough*.

The level of eechi is a lot lower than I expected.

First major battle is coming up soon. It sounds like it'll be a surprise attack too since they're focusing on that Lu guy

No worries. It falls apart even more as it goes along.

Its not nearly as bad as some were making it out to be. Theres a scene here and there overall but it really isnt THAT kind of show. Anime has gone way more overboard before.

Oh dear god my heart.

Did anyone webm that scene when she pushes him in the water and then jumps in herself? That was precious.
I watched it like 5 times.

Hey, I've been an outspoken proponent of Oreimo, and I had to drop NGNL because I thought crossed a line I wasn't comfortable with.
