That certainly was an episode of anime.

As amazing as this sounds, but it feels like the writing and animation have gone down in Psycho-Pass S2.

yea

In the first season, the inspectors seemed capable every now and then. Here, everyone just looks like a dumbass.

The writing was expected to be worse... as Gen Urobuchi isn't doing the script in season 2 the movie should be better again though as he is supposed to be doing that.

What do you expect from a show where Akane is the most prominent this time around?

She sucks.

Edit: oh, I saw the post by dimb lol.

Interesting with how they recovered their powers. Expected that how that their Powers returned but still interesting seeing how it backfired.
 
Parasyte 2

God I love this show. It was so good, and it had me rolling at times. The bathroom scene in particular was hilarious. This, Bahamut, and Chaika are my favorite series' currently.

And was the end hinting at
two parasitic aliens mating using their new bodies, or just that one alien in the male body banging a chick in order to eat her
out
?

Reconguista in G 04

I wonder if she is referring to the pre-U.C. period, or the 00 setting. If the "A.D." of this world had space elevators and Mobile Suits like in 00, then that's a bit of a connection. Interesting.

Looks like Bellri will be switching sides. AND CHAR CLONE SHOWS UP NEXT EP AWWW YEAH

G-Reco is post UC, and pre-UC has been described as AD. It has nothing to do with the alternate universes of Gundam.

They are a wonderful company. Their customer service is wonderful too.

Thats what you were saying before, I wonder if they will combine separate orders and ship me a few items together from each. I should check the amount charged and line it up with what I have ordered in the last few months.

Twintail has a legit magical girl transformation sequence. Damn.

It does so many things right.

If you love twintails, anything is possible!

Twintails 2

This show is so fucking stupid but somehow the fact that the show is completely self-aware causes it to loop around back into hilarious. How did this get greenlit?

Shirobako 2

The most amazing thing about the show is despite how crazy some of the happenings are, I can 100% believe these are real conversations that real human beings had and continue to have in animation production. The director's meeting almost moved me to tears in laughter. The way the music adds to the dread during the dubbing scenes and the inspiration during the director's meeting was also on point. Even two episodes in, I'm pretty sure this is the best "cute girls do thing X" Japan has ever made.

Whenever I had to call customer service to change my payment info (got a new card this month), I always got the same girl and she was hilarious.

Woo! :D
Be sure to post some pics when you get it!

Was it Jessica?

There is so much that you have yet to understand and discover. Oh I envy you seeing this for the first time!

Well, seeing as Ultimate Girls got greenlit this was quite sensible .
 
Hi-sCoool! SeHa Girl 02

Dreamcast is scrub tier, and why the hell is Saturn not spamming low punch? also holy fuck at them actually acknowledging
Sakura Taisen with them fighting Sakura Shinguji
. This is the kind of fanservice I can get behind.

Your Lie in April 2

Still frames, CG and bad art (especially during humor) aside, this was an interesting episode. Perhaps a bit too convenient with how the plot progressed, but exciting nonetheless. And the music is damn good.

My assessment from last week still stands, though. This would be much better if the show was straight drama, or if the humor at least matched the tone of the rest of the show.

Psycho-Pass 2 - Episode 2

This is a bad show with bad writing and bad production values, I don't know why I can't stop watching. I really should, because it's bad. It's kinda funny how this episode tries to mirror a lot of the stuff in the early episodes of the first season, especially ep2. Akane in the shower. Extended boring conversations about reports in the office. The close-up of the really bad CG fan on the ceiling. Akane watching an Enforcer train with a robot dummy. Akane's stupid jellyfish AI housekeeper. It's all so familiar, and just as bad as it was the first time round if not worse. But yet I will keep watching to find out who "he" is... fml.

Your Lie in April - Episode 2

At least the other half of noitaminA this season is much better. I'm still not really sold on the dramatic aspects of this show, but I think the feelings it successfully invokes in the presentation of the characters and themes make up for it somewhat. It was pretty funny seeing all the static "performances" before the Kaori shows up and gets a fully animated one though. Expected for a TV series, but still, really funny. I wonder how accurate the actual musical performances were for the episode though. I'm so bad at music stuff I can't tell one way or another. Was the guy who was supposed to be "off" actually making any obvious mistakes?

The greatest living director of "cute girls do thing X" genre, really.

The cast is already dropping like flies, at this rate they won't be anyone left by episode 3.

This was much more enjoyable then I imagined this feels like the better parts of attack on titans.

Not sure what people where talking about this didn't feel censored at all...maybe I watched a different verison.

These coackarouch people are brutal, am a bit dissapointed the cool palestina/israeli? guy is already dead(and the black guy) R.I.P ethnic diverse cast.

Sound design was clever in this one as well.
Sound design throughout the series is just sublime.I's soundtrack is great but it's also comfortable enough to have large spans of silence to really nail how rural and remote some of these places are especially in winter themed episodes.

Might do a post about Cagliostro later.

Man, the final scene of the final episode really glues the whole show together.



Also, I find it supremely ironic that, when Himself realises that Ozu's his only real friend, Ozu doesn't even recognise him, because all the hijinks they went through together never happened in that timeline.

This was AWESOME. Also really cute. Anime is batting a thousand this season.
More shows that will end up in my collection eventually.
