I can't believe how fucking good the character designs are. This is the best that I ever seen.

Next up! More team matches and individuals!

I love the art in Chihayafuru but the character design is nothing special.

Revolutionary Girl Utena 17

I liked Utena's conversation with Anthy's brother (yet another name I'm struggling with), where he points out that oftentimes a person's innocence and naivete can be hurtful to others around them, as it can leave them oblivious to the thoughts and feelings of others.

It's been a while since I've seen the show, but I think his name is Akio.

You might see him a few more times before the show ends.

Another new PV for the upcoming Aura movie, based on the chuunibyou novel from the author of Humanity Has Declined.

I'm excited for this because of Tanaka Romeo, because to be honest I'm not finding myself too excited for anything else that I know about this movie. That being said, I don't know much about Aura and I haven't been paying much attention.

Well, Kuroneko is probably the better Hanakana chuunibyou. :D

Nanami's insane. Still.

Nanami, you need to listen very carefully to what I'm about to say. Your brother does not want yo' pussy. If he did, he would have hit it already. Your brother's a douchey, narcissistic, evil jackass, but at the very least he doesn't want to smang his sister (I hope). Fucking deal with it and start a normal relationship.

Why did Utena go to the party Nanami threw in the first place? She remembers the bullshit he tried to pull and how he tried to squash her spirit like an ant under a sledgehammer. And she also knows he's in bad shape because of her, so even if she is incredibly forgiving, she should know that it would probably be better for both of them if she didn't go. Eh, whatevs, she seemed to be getting along with him fine. Maybe he just lets bygones be bygones when there's a piece of ass in it for him potentially.

Nanami's friend Keiko has a crush on Touga and wants to get close, so she shares her umbrella with him when it's raining. Nanami sees this and kicks her out of all school organizations she's involved with, cause she's a crazy bitch who wants her brother's dick all to herself. So Keiko goes to the Black Rose Circle and takes Touga's sword, and duels Utena. Was pretty disappointed at the end of the duel. For a minute it looked like Keiko reached a revelation that she really should be fighting Nanami instead of Utena, but instead of pulling out and going to confront Nanami, she just continued to fight Utena. Missed opportunity there for some real character growth. I realize the situation with the dueling arena and Rose Bride and whatnot makes my proposal pretty unrealistic, but I think something should have happened. At the very least, I don't think she should have been right back being Nanami's servant again. Oh well.

I have only two achievements there.
only the over 100 and slice of life level 1
I really should have one for cute shows but maybe there are certain parameters for that?

My favourite studios according to malgraph: Toei Animation, GAINAX, Madhouse, Sony Music Entertainment (what?), and J.C. Staff.

I guess that sounds about right!

I think this becomes clearer in about ten episodes (so don't read the spoiler), but Nanami's infatuation with her brother
isn't really sexual.

Because Utena is cool.

I think the real thing to keep in mind when watching the duels in the Black Rose Saga is that they aren't really about the duelists, but about
the people they become duelists for
. This episode is really all about Nanami.

But Keiko didn't become a duellist for Nanami, she became one for Touga. But yeah, I guess you're right; Nanami was the focal point of this episode.

I just finished 22, but I don't think I'll post impressions until after I watch it again tomorrow. A...lot happens in this episode.
 
Aniplex USA has just confirmed Sword Art Online will be getting a dub! They'll have a preview screening at Sakura-Con, along with one for Fate/Zero as well.

Haruna Luna choosing Klein and Eir Aoi choosing Kirito-kun were the best parts, they should include interviews on their features, its nice seeing the faces behind the singers and etc.

So glad its getting a dub, wonder if Neon Alley will try to snatch it up before Toonami, would be a great way to get more people to use the service as well as airing Accel World And Sword Art Online back to back.

Hopefully the voice of Kida Masaomi is the voice chosen for Kirito.

At least my suggested viewing list looks quite promising:

It looks like it mostly (if not entirely) borrows from your Plan to Watch list, or at least it did mine. I suppose that takes some of the "magic" out of their suggestions because, I assume, people (at least those who are pretty good with snap judgments) are more likely to put anime that will end up suiting their taste into their Plan to Watch list.

Yeah, that's what it is for me too. Though I suppose it could help with trying to decide on which of those shows you should try out I guess.
