Every week I end up at a loss of words to describe just what this show's like and every week I pretty much fall back on just how carefree it is.
JUST
LIKE
THE
WIND (no, not that wind)
Ahh, it really is one of the best shows I've watched in recent memory. I feel like I could get swept away at any moment by just how lovely it is.

OUCH.
I can still remember when the biggest problem with Magi was the rice bowls.

Jormungand 2nd Season-
Well this sure as shit was better than last season. Like god damn this was an improvement. There was a strong overarching narrative and even the mini arcs were good. The mini arcs focused on individual characters in Koko's crew and give it a stronger emotional component and also helped to flesh out the crew. They actually started to give the audience reasons as to why they should care for these characters. While Valmet was the main focus in season 1, I think the show worked much better when avoiding the drama surrounding her and not letting it drag on for so long with some of the other characters.
The animation and directing were pretty much shit again. All the heavy action scenes were the worst part of the show. It's really a shame because if the manga had been given to a more capable studio like Madhouse back in the day then this show could really have been something special. I mean the scene with
. I had a huge problem with the character designs, mainly due to the damn eyebrows but the characters could look really nice in serious moments.
That said, I liked the overall message of the show and it certainly wasn't as naive or full of bullshit that most anime and manga seem to be. It directly confronted some heavy themes and the speech by Kasper at the end was gutting. He proceeded to dissemble the plan right in front of her and it was truly an amazing speech. I also have to applaud the mangaka for when knowing not to show something and the ending is a perfect example of that. I was getting serious Watchmen vibes at the end and I think the show did a fine job with the material.
All in all, I'm really surprised how the show turned out as I was pretty disappointed with the first season.
P.S.
America all the way!
Why can't the art be this good all the time?

My boy is about to deliver the goods. See unlike Robotics, Urobuchi delivers.
Whoa. The Captain Harlock CG movie is really happening!

Looking good! I loved the episode last week and really look forward to this one.
Only a few more hours to wait...
That's the way to do it!
Finally quoted and both times for the show I loved to hate. I seem to be getting more associated with it than Kayos.
Also I hope people remembered to skip over my jokes votes. Wouldn't want those to interfere with the results.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
I blame the Robotics;Notes folks!
The protagonist is obviously Saki and her sidekick A. Anyone can work that out dummy.
But that CGI Skeleton thing puts most Pixar films to shame.
Usually when you are unsure it's best to double check the fact before posting.
No (I wasn't there when the poll was conducted), but I doubt it's too lopsided. I'm sure the boys like sweet basketball action as much as anyone.
I bet the Anpanman crowd stopped watching anime after first grade, but they had to come up with an answer.
Or they really enjoy Anpanman. Who knows. I mean, how can you hate this face?
I like how they just make white squares to simulate light reflecting off his face.

I genuinely hope no one thought I was asking the question because they thought I didn't do it. It doesn't help that the thread title was incorrect in describing my question.

Did they have to use that picture? Did they really?
I would wear it as an avatar if I wasn't afraid of the banhammers.
Very good mix though.
That looks like Square Enix Visual Works. I wish it were.

The shit I'm seeing in Muv-Luv has ascended beyond stupidity. I thought AO was the bottom of the barrel, I was wrong.
Every stupid cliche, every illogical choice, every dumbass action scene all collapsed into one big singularity.
Christ.
I think it's Sega Sammy Visual Entertainment. They did the original pilot trailer 2 years ago.
Edit: The original pilot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH7ZjB7lzgI

The characters are, for the most part, idiots and love-stricken puppies at that.
This show has also driven home the point that I hate CG mecha, viciously. All of it should be hand-drawn.
This was awful. Cliches around every damn corner. We have the villain in front of a fireplace, twirling a knife before he flings it at a map. All it needed was Ode to Joy somewhere. Then there are straight contradictions in the storyline but whatever, the story has always been shit. We have a 'love conquers all' bullshit type ending and the stakes are raised in the most laughable manner possible. This is the stupidest plot I've seen in awhile. I was apathetic to the anime till the final arc came around and went straight into the shitter. I mean it was bad but I could roll with it. The final arc is on a whole separate level of idiocy.

I'm okay with this outcome too!
You should just play the OG Muv-Luv Alternative VN bro.

I don't see him getting through Extra and Unlimited.
Unlimited are really good though, Extra was the problem lol.
Too bad TE's anime sucked badly, although I do like the Kamchatski's arc.. Oh well still watching the anime gonna help me if the VN version got PC port.
The polar bear runs the cafe - the panda is a regular customer.
but.....MUVLUV has Chobi doesn't it?
Because Panda's one of the main characters.
Everything revolves around a Cafe run by a Polar Bear, hence the name of the show.

The senshi go ice skating!
A talented olympic figure skating duo offers to give ice skating lessons to chosen people.
again, this episode was alright, but the real standout, and let's be quite simply honest here, was Mako-chan ice-skating.
What the fuck else matters in this episode? Makoto is amazing.
Oh yeah and the skating couple get pissed off, the guy flirts with Mako-chan and Tuxedo Kamen does what he does. Sailor Moon does what she does. Everything goes back to normal.
but ...DAMN

. Also this have a nice Tsuki concern for Gintoki just for Firehawk12.
To finish this off is the
involving themselves and the epic fight conclusion between Gintoki and Oboro. MY HEAD CANNOT CONTAIN THE AWESOMENESS OF THIS EPISODE!!!
Thank you based Sorachi.
OH.MY.GOD!

Thank you based Sorachi.

I don't have a lot to say about this episode. But it was nice as usual. Yet another quietly uplifting story.
Yeah, it's a hard show to analyze. There's a reason wonzo keeps comparing it to the wind. That's how it feels. I guess that makes it a good comedown after Mouryou no Hako.
I don't feel intensely about it, but it's damn good, and I think that's a perfectly fine way to feel.

The bad: Internet connection issues which broke up the flow of the episode.
The AWESOMENESS: Everything else.
Good stuff. They've joked about Gintoki not having a "special attack". This proves he doesn't need one. If anything his special skill is his adaptability. Man though, the amount of stuff packed in to this arc, especially the past two episodes. All those reruns were worth it ten fold.

So, I just watched Accel #1, Chu2koi #1,2, Chahayafuru #1,2, and first impressions leave me wanting to finish them in this order: Chu2, Accel, and Chihaya; but it could be that Accel world got bumped up unnecessarily because of the cliffhanger ending.
Chihaya just feels like most other sports show; Saki felt like a stronger show. I'll probably put this one on the reserve backlist and will finish it... eventually.

With all of the recent Gunbuster/Diebuster talk, I thought I'd share a crappy iPhone pic of two of my favorite figures:
I've also got the Super Robot Chogokin version of the Gunbuster coming next month:
Think I'm about due for a Gunbuster rewatch now.

.Accel World has Kuroyukihimegoddess and Chuuni has abused Rikka. That kind of cuteness is hard to top. I think Chihayafuru will charm you though. The music really has that effect.
