HeartCatch Precure - 14

Wow, this was pretty heavy, even more so than Yayoi's personal eps in Smile. Really good episode.
 
Pokemon B/W Rival Destinies 48


So here's the whole big thing they been vaguely hinting that Team Rocket is doing, capturing Miku Meloetta and rising Atlantis Undersea Ruins. Since this is a two parter, of course the first episode is Team Rocket actually winning and the heroes not.

I was wondering if you had quit the show. Brave on!

I had to take a short break on it as the marathon was taking its toll on me. :)

What I currently have going on my backlog is HeartCatch Precure, Mobile Suit Gundam 0079, and starting tonight Queens Blade.

Wow, that was a really good episode! Akito's interest in killing the Jovian men has been properly built up to, and it setting him at odds with Megumi was a nice touch. Was not expecting such well done character development when I started this show.

Whoa, this episode pretty much owned. Some relaly great fight scenes, especially the one with Mor. The new OP's pretty good and while the ED still sucks it's definitely an improvement over the old one. Hopefully they can keep this quality up for the last couple of episodes.

Maturity, bitches.
Second season of Qwaser is much better. One: More Hana. Two: Less bollocks plot.

Seriously, the first season was idiotic (i.e Mr Sulphur's I can engulf people in flames with the snap on my fingers but apparently my ultimate move is just a really flashy weak fire bird that flies about and does nothing. Yeah, fuck off mister). Up there with SAO for shows that make me shake my head in disbelief. But at least it had tits so it wasn't all bad.

Wasn't this after Balbadd or am I mistaking something?
Do they have the comedy brothel scenes with Alibaba and Aladdin? Loved those in the manga and I only read the manga in preparation to watch the show, but then everyone talked about the show being bad.

That is what happened here, so they are further in the anime?

Just when I thought I had seen the worst Nadia filler could throw at me. NOPE! Musical recap episode of LOVE is what they throw at me. Fuck anyone who thought they needed to stretch this show by an extra cour.
This should be the last episode of filler though so FINALLY I can get to the last arc at least. Filler also gave some quality derpfaces.
Yes I know I haven't posted impressions for the 33 eps before it was planning to do a complete show post later but...

Sure if you only count the second half of season 2, otherwise season one is better in every way.

Kinda funny how it was Ritsu who was so excited and passionate about forming the light music club and Mio just went along begrudgingly, and now Mio's the one taking it so seriously and Ritsu's always goofing off. But hey, you go to a beach house, you gotta have some fun, right? What's this deal with Mio being paranoid about barnacles on the back of her knees? What does that even mean? Also, I think I know why she's Chet's favorite. At least I have a theory.

When the fuck did Yui get so good at guitar? She forgot everything by the end of ep.3 and just goofed off with Ritsu the whole episode, but now she sounds pretty good. Also, I think that music the old light music club did kinda pushes being "light" music. Pretty good, though.

Chet, maybe even SDBurton, your time is upon us!

Show's got plenty of meaty artwork and animation, but I hope they can keep up the pace. Wouldn't want this show to have blown its load too early. Still, the bouncy, erm, personalities of the characters keep things moving along, this will be my turn-my-brain-off-and-enjoy-the-boobs show of the season.

Derpface example
And yes I'm afraid so. From episode 23 onwards it was decided that the show was to be extended by an extra cour so there is filler from 23-34 with episode 30 and 31 having some actual plot development. (and some stuff sprinkled in between) in that time Anno also departed to work on the last 5 episodes on the show giving it to the B-team as it was. Or so was the story according to Jexhius.
And yes I am serious about episode 34. It's basically, a collection of 2-3 minutes of new animation and songs sung to montages of past events in the show. (all framed around
Jean's and Nadia's love.
)

But be not afraid. You have plenty of awesome stuff yet to see till you get to that point! And actually SOME of the filler episodes had some decent gags. It's just that they feel totally out place and dragged out. (even the gags, there is one in one of the episodes where it's one of those "fall induced hallucinations" that usually last 1 minute or less in a sane show but is dragged to almost half of that episode)
^^Didn't the creators pretty much disown that part of the anime?
Yes yes they did. So much that Anno made a 6 hour shrink of the series that cut that entire part of the show to 20 mins.

Yui's a guitar savant basically. (So is Ui, actually...)

Mobile Suit Gundam 11

Oh, you don't believe Garma's dead? Well I don't believe someone so obviously gay for Char had a girlfriend. Also, how damn creepy is it for her escort to say "By the way Ms. ICELINA (Totally a Pokemon Gym Leader name), I know your totally-not-gay-for-Char boyfriend just died, but, well, basically all the soldiers last night were planning on gang banging you and I was totally in on it. Because I think you are hot and now your totally-not-gay-for-Char boyfriend is dead."

Love this show. And is Bright x Mirai gonna happen? Because that'd be like, this show's Mu x Murrue, which was of course, the best thing about Gundam SEED and its sequel. "Good job, Mirai!" "Don't thank me, it was White Base!" "Yeah, but I can't get jiggy with the ship, Mirai."

And Ryu is like, the understated badass of the show. I mean, we know Char is, and Bright, and I GUESS Amuro, but Ryu totes deserves more credit. Can't believe Bright puts up with these damn refugees for so long.

Yeah but it's from the OP.

They had the first one so I don't see why they'd vut out the others ones when they get to them.

It's still at Balbadd but it'll probably move onto Sindria in around 3-4 episodes.

That's basically how Mio and Ritsu's relationship is. Ritsu drags Mio around and gets her out of her comfort zone, and Mio is the one to keep Ritsu in line and stick with it.
And Yui is a savant. Her sister is in everyway perfect though. There's nothing Ui can't do.

Thx.

Mor really is something, wonder when she'll show up again in the manga.

all that fanservice... and i'm pretty sure the 2nd half happened in some gundam series.

The CG crowd actually look somewhat decent, they got shadows!

Eureka Seven 11 Holy mother of pulse pounding episodes, Batman! I'm legit impressed at how much things have finally begun to happen in this show. Anemone is like the Extendeds from Gundam SEED/Destiny, except she isn't a character I want to die immediately. Eureka looks kinda spiffy without her dumb hair clips, Talho continues to be an insufferable bitch who is jealous of a fifteen year old, and Hilda is the only woman worthwhile aboard the boat.

And that weird sheep of Anemone's is adorable.
