[Urusei Yatsura] - 138

The return of ninja Kaede...Kaede who? I don't remember her at all. lol
Her problem is that she wants to change jobs because she doesn't want to end up with the:

So she runs away from the "Nauseating Visage!" and her bunch of bomberman.
Mendou helps her after finding her, and brings her back to the mansion, there Ryoko arrives and do her usual thing...
And this is just the beginning of Ryoko trollish ways in this episode.
Ataru is a fucking ninja too, atleast to chase babes, he’s able to chase Kaede with ninja jumping techniques and all the shit, he does a Izuna drop! on a ninja that comes to stop Kaede.

I mean this unironically.

Cross Ange is amazing in my book, because it took the most offensive opening episode I think I've ever seen, and creates an amazing character out of it.

Ange is fucking legit awesome.

And it's nice to Kira from Gundam Seed again!

Remember how Tusk was caught in that giant explosion, and was just fine?

Remember how it was never explained how the giant male dragons mate with the tiny female?

Remember how pissed everyone was when Ange didn't leave Tusk for Hilda?

Ange was both the hero we needed and deserved.
 
Just three days till the finale of Blood Blockade Battlefront.

I know some people here aren't looking forward to it, but I love the show. Freaking love it.

Hope the ending is worth the wait.

I'm actually one of the few who loved the crap out of Blood Blockade Battlefront and pretty much been waiting for the last episode for awhile.

Hopefully it turns out great.
 
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam - 20

I like how while the Titans are evil, they don't exactly feel one-note. Like, this captain warns everyone that they're gonna crash the ship in a suicide attack and tells the crew to abandon ship while only a few other loyal soldiers decide to remain. It makes them actually feel human, as opposed to your standard bad guys.

A far cry from 00 S2's "Let's show the audience how evil the A-LAWS are by making the commander an ugly fatass and have him be a one-note douchebag."

Also wow. Four only lasted four episodes.

I was trying to figure out what the bars in the new Lupin III OP were supposed to mean as I initially brushed it off as it being done to give the work some faux three dimensional depth and for transitions. However I then realized that those are prison bars in most of the cuts and bamboo trees in a separate one.

lol

...This Toshi guy just went nuts because of fucking tomatoes.
The entire gardening club is into some tomato fetish, they gave every tomato a female name, Toshi almost
died in a fire to save some tomatoes and he heard the voices of the burning dying tomatoes.
They take their tomatoes so seriously to the point of attacking their classmates to protect the three surviving tomatoes, Toshi the most crazy of them,
using a chainsaw and a tomato mask.
The best scene was Ataru
finding Megane and company bloody corpses tied to the ceiling of the classroom
, the atmosphere was on point.
Lesson: "Winners Don't Use Tomatoes"
 
Yo.

I read up on shit from the novels for Overlord.

And damn, now I want that Bug Maid to do even more shit. She's fucking terrifying. Holy crap, the maids are more interesting than like 90% of the cast and most of them are straight evil.
 
Nah I actually like the Italian rap, it's pretty distinctive. The song has more energy than the Japanese one which is just a remix of the Lupin III theme that I've already heard a million times over.

The Italian rap song is so rhythmically monotonous, drab and bland. It has none of the verve, color, and pizzazz of the new arrangement of the classic Lupin theme.

The part they picked for the OP has the repetitious chorus and doesn't even use the cool jazz part with the saxophone of the '05 version. The full version is much better hands down but it doesn't work edited as such when just using the female vocals. It's boring as presented as such.

The problem with the BBB ending coming soon is that I already forgot all about the show since its been a long time since I've seen it. Oh well it wasn't that good to begin with.

Stealing from Mature on twitter:

Lupin III OP

Time to clear a spot off on the ol' AOTY ballot.

This opening is incredible. Would I be able to get into this show if I'm not that familiar with Lupin? Always wanted to get into it, but don't know if this is a good starting point or not.

Just three days till the finale of Blood Blockade Battlefront.

I love the shit out of it. Just has so much damn style and charm. Super happy that it's doing really well in sales. The dub for it is pretty great as well. I hope Funimation doesn't take too long to do the last episode.

Sailor Moon 15 - 17

Ugh, Mamoru is college aged.
I always thought he was high school, but I thought Usagi and the others were also high school.

Why are girls' series the most messed up.
 
[Urusei Yatsura] - 140

What kind of madman would make a giant sponge cake to hold a New Years party inside it?
If they have to eat to get to Ryoko...how did they get in?
Wait, did I say Ryoko? She does her usual thing, but this episode Mendou and Ton-chan are suffering the results of her pranks.

I'll watch BBB when it's confirmed the final episode is out.

I refuse to believe otherwise until people acknowledge that it actually came out.

Yeah word is Manglobe is bankrupt for good this time. There's a lot of buzz on Japanese social media, especially between staff who work at Manglobe. RIP.
 
HI animegaf it's been a while ..i hope all the friends i have here are still doing well.

Disclaimer : I'm tired, ill , currently in the waiting room of my doctor awaiting my turn.
But I can't let this pass.
Fan-service is the pill you have to swallow sometimes to get an anime made. I bet there are a ton of really good shows out there that never would've gotten made if they didn't include scenes to uncensor in blu-rays, sell figures or pillows or move doujin. I realize the landscape of anime has bred a situation where these good anime have fan service shoved into them or have fan service in general that is very off putting so I've become relatively tolerant of it even if it's distasteful, problematic or irritating. That's just the way things are now and sometimes you have to get past that veneer if you want to watch a good show.

For instance, I bet a lot of people disliked Blade and Soul's incredibly INCREDIBLY terrible fan-service and pandering and jiggle-tits and everything. And they'd be right to. But I also think it was one of the top five anime of that year. And if anything it just makes me sad that all the bikini costumes and tits led to people not enjoying what was a mature, dark and fairly trope-less storyline of character growth and development.

Seriously, I'll fight you if you think that show was bad (outside of the fan-service and...awful CG).

I'll be clear , fan service is needed for some shows..that i'll give you.it's painfully obvious that many show are targetting many circles at once and some show don't even the most serious show sometimes don't hesitate.

But Blade and soul is an entirely different story.
Blade and soul problem is not the fanservice ..fanservice is the least of it's problem.
First, blade and soul has like no coherent story at all . the anime exist only to show you that the wolrd those human live is the worst they can and they all survive through various means only to die in the most pathetic way
Alka , as a main character goes from , generic soldier with no motivation and emotiosn to crushed doll with emotions that still can't do shit.. then the story is wrapped up by some deus ex machina that doesn't make sense in order to reset everything
This is a problem, a huge problem because everyone questions this situation in the anime , but the anime says " who cares"?
The anime doesn't even hold his own standards
Look at how the solved this plot !
What are they doing there , again ?
Blade%20and%20Soul%20-%2011_02.jpg

Nevermind
Plot ? story ? what's that!
Look the only worthwhile character asking the right questions while everyone else says " we don't care"
Blade%20and%20Soul%20-%2006_03.jpg
Blade%20and%20Soul%20-%2006_04.jpg

Yep there is no point , we act like that ..because ???
And it's not just once , he keep questionning the awfull motivations and actions of everyone( up there was the antagonist , but he asks later the heroine
Blade%20and%20Soul%20-%2008.jpg

Nope still not guetting an answer out of that one because it's stupid
Blade and soul is an insult to the game.. the design from the game aren't even respected in the anime. there is not even proper character fanservice ( cameos that are worth something)
Blade and soul is not even pretty to look at . the show airing with COUNTLESS animation errors and QUALITY characters and backgrounds.
Exemples :
The problem of blade and soul is not fanservice , it's that it's empty .. for an anime called "blade and soul" following a super emotionless soldier specially made to be super powerfull there are no fights worth a damn. Heck the best episodes are those without the heroine.

Let's recap shall we?
Blade and soul
-Has an awefull story
-Is ugly
-has nothing worth a damn to remember in terms of music
-Has little to no characterisation ( all the small NPCS are dead , and the big NPCS aren't even important in the story at all )
-Doesn't even has fanservice for the fans of the game
-Can't even has visual fanservice because the 2D graphics are bad

So why is blade and soul considered trash by so many anime communities ? i really wonder.....
PS : i don't even care about the 3D CG
 
[Gintama] - 291

They finish Mutsu 2 episode arc,
and reveal she's a Yato
, didn't see it coming. And they ended up witth some time left over, so why not do a recap?

Kagura keeping it real.
The mood when they joke about the budget for next season was great.
There is demand for more Sakata Gintoki(F), I demand more of it.

Overlord - 13 (End)

That was way more satisfying than I thought it would be. All according to keikaku. Seems like I'll have to change my rating up to an 8.
The current arc was wrapped up really nicely, but of course it hints at things to come that may or may not ever happen in anime format.

I hope there wil lbe a second season sometime, but in the meantime I'll go continue reading the novels.
