Overall it wasn't anything amazing but I thought it was fun to watch.
Also I liked both EDs ^% / %$
Bunny Teacher was true MVP this ep



and finished ImoCho, I mean it's terrible but not that terrible. I've seen worse. The Metal Gear thing was pretty dumb though .

Best bunny teacher.
Figurine when?

But that ending to Episode 8...
Da pres now too
?? WTF... Where are we going....

Where you're going, you wont need roads (but another mode of transportation could work)

People keep talking about Saekano, and I know it's a different show, but I keep thinking of SaiKano.

No one wins in SaiKano. You don't come out of that a winner.



You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?



This is the way of life.



Places. You're going places.

Saikano is so depressingly futile it even depressed me. Think about that for a moment. Dont take it lightly.

Is Bunny teacher turned all the girls in the school into yuriyuri girls? Why are they after her?

That scene reminds me of UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie where the alien catgirl turned all the girls in town into school catgirls.

The thing is, even if I didn't really know what your tastes were based off such limited information I could still whip up 10 - 20 good shows which are 'safe bets', stuff anyone could potentially enjoy. It's not that hard!
I'm sure most of us could - wonzo even has a list of particularly good titles even if a couple of them I wouldn't classify as strictly stuff for beginners.

And yet, the lure of recommending bad titles to see how enraged people get still seems to be far more appealing than recommending something good and hearing how much they enjoyed it.

She looks like a cross between Tabane Shinonono and Orimura-neesama

And yes, it's weapons grade depression. I've seen it.

This episode was just too fucking good.
The way they framed Ginko's initial devotion to Kureha, how they mirrored her being ostracized by bear kind along with Kureha being outed by other humans? The stair walking scene with desire following love, punctuating that internal crisis. How both Bear and Human Ginko are unified in their decision to stick to love at first but with Desire going out for one last ditch effort to have her fall? Then Lulu and her dedication to fulfilling Ginko's dream orbiting the entire conflict? The final scene with the music cutting out?

Just a fantastically executed episode on all fronts.

The only thing I have gotten out of this show so far is a constant reminder of how shitty I treated my H.S. girlfriend that was exactly like Mat. personality and all.. I t's scary to think how similar my Jr. and Sr. years were. I feel dirty watching this, she was the one I should have been with...


3 episodes left to watch tomorrow, I wonder where this ends..

Wait, isn't Dragonite the delivery service in the Pokémon anime world?

Is this the storyline where Dragonite goes postal?

That is literally how I would describe Saikano.

Acchi Kocchi is so pleasant, like candy. Even the boxart is adorable.
LOL @ Fate Stay Night pricing. At least the Fate Zero sets were worth the money.
Also Armitage III has another release so no excuses!

Still not seen this. I remember thinking "where the hell is Armitage 1 and 2?!" all those years ago and never really looked into it lmao. The box art looks awesome, but every-time I search for the show on Google, I get put off by the way it looks :$ Too much cyberpunk for my blood. Some parts of the animation, namely backgrounds look nice but the characters....

Yeah its VERY cyberpunk but its a really good show. It definitely begs the question that other shows like I Robot have asked more recently as to what should a lifelike robots rights be or if it should even have any and do they even have a reason to exist.
Plus, hotpants.

Man if this show sticks the landing it will be amazing. Definitely going to watch Utena and Penguindrum at some point. I don't really understand why Kureha didn't just tell Ginko it was a trap or to get out. Maybe she knew she wouldn't listen and tried to make her leave by being abrasive.

Man I can't believe Lulu actually jumped in front of the bullet, but AFTER I was expecting her to. I thought she would live, her death scene was really touching and good ;_;

Gotta say this episode was really well directed, too. There were a lot of great scenes. The one at the beginning with the girls excluding young Kureha was pretty brutal imagery for a bunch of little girls, but I guess this show is about young girls being terrible to each other for petty reasons anyway.


This sounds really interesting.

Yes I will definitely watch Cross ange soon.
 
Fate/Zero - 25 [End]

Huh. Felt like Fate/Stay just became slightly more attractive now when
Gilgamesh is there? I can't recall much from Stay but I think there was some blond guy in the vampire dungeon at the end. If that dude ain't Gilgamesh
I'm killing myself.
Well, this show didn't change my opinion much on the Fate series as a whole. Beyond the pretty visuals and animation, I think it's average, if that. The whole grail business still seems stupid to me.

Hah I'm not a hotpants person so that alone won't do the tick, in fact it might have the opposite effect :p In any case it has always intrigued me (the show that is :p) so I may give it a go in the distant future. I loved the GitS films, but this seems to be going for a totally different aesthetic, one that I've never really liked at all for some reason.

This sounds really interesting.

I'm glad :) As I said, its not a perfect show by any mean and will resonate with some people more than others. People who aren't into shows that are slow and on the face level contains characters that don't really do much will be bored I feel, but for those who are interested in sitting back and interested in a unique show with a different pace will enjoy this I feel. The visuals and the 'gimmick' (not a negative word to me :p) is enough to warrant a view for many, at least it was for me. I enjoyed it a lot, but it's can be a bit strange tonally for some.

Koufuku Graffiti 11

A very Shafty episode. Is the kids living away from their parents an actual thing in Japan, or is it just an anime thing? What is Ryou's parents hiding? Shiina has her priorities straight. Not sure if she can emanate enough good luck for the two of them though.

Cross Ange 24

At least there's one show that remains consistent with its...quality, so to speak.
So Tusk sleeping with Ange is what pisses Embryo off? Huh. Ersha joins the battle? I thought they were out of mechs. Well Chris survived, and that's all that matters. Big dragon. So that's who Embryo's pilot was. I was wandering that. Yeah, I don't see everything being resolved next episode.

Yuri Kuma 11

Okay, I think all the holes have been filled. Or at least, I can't think of any more flashbacks that are needed. Though I'm sure I'll be wrong.
Still not sure what's going on with Mitsuko. And another bear bites the bullet.

Go Princess Precure 8

A surprisingly decent episode.
Movie still looks cool. Haruka should be with Hime though. Pretty dresses. Are they going to call up Shamour for everything? Kirara is the realist of the group. Minami is just whatever. Something must be sacrificed for the dress and school. Farewell sleep. How are the Precure activities just rumors? Puff/Pafu is the worst. At least Aroma is still a bro. Kirara cares more than she likes to admit. Turns out Minami is the throw them off the cliff to make them fly type. Lots of talking and soulgazing while Flora is getting roasted. I guess sheer willpower works out sometimes.

Kirara is still by far the best, but Minami finally started coming into her own this time. Technically it was always there, but the contrast with Kirara really emphasized how much Minami is for making people work for their rewards. Maybe there is hope for this trio yet.

Best episode yet! Hopefully the finale will deliver, in which case I'll be glad I stuck to this show.

Gotta give this a try.

just in case you guys didn't already know chitoge > every other girl in nisekoi combined. excited for s2!

I call bullshit on that, it must of been rigged or some shit. How can anyone possibly like Shitoge? She's such a shitty tsundere it's not even funny.

Honestly the only reason Nisekoi should be read or watched is for the reaction faces and Marika. She pretty much the sole reason and maybe Shuu for Nisekoi being at all readable. Anyways season 2 is gonna suck ass since the manga still hasn't progressed at all. So yeah Marika is the only reason you should be excited.

Maturity, bitches.
I've never seen Nisekoi so it doesn't really matter who the best character is.

A more improtant debate would be which Animal Soldier is the best from Astro Fighter Sunred.
