This was like the besst thirty minutes of the anime since awhile back, Mao confessing to chika like all my favorite childhood friends in love bl stories.so close, but perfect dialogue for it. If only someday they would go that route. Such an underrated anime.

OMG. This face

Very cute episode. Started off well with Minori in a maid uniform and continued to go well with the various anime parodies. Sort of surprised that Papa no Iukoto was referenced. Dat last scene with Petraca reacting to her acting was hilarious

Strike the blood - 10

Plenty of things happenned this week , including the revelation everyone knew

More surprising is the fact that everyone seems to mark their territory in one way or another

Yeah yeah this is exacty the important question right now.
The arc after this one will be very intresting :)
 
Strike the Blood 10

The anime could be interesting if all the standard animu harem stuff was avoiding...the water and wet clothes scene, the multiple girls arguing over Kojou in the monostary...its easy to forgot the larger interesting plot at hand with the progenitors and what not.

Wat.

Magi's team ruin the brand reputation apparently.

well, they've been quite horrible this year, most of last year too. It's been a while since good A-1.

in other news looks like vol.1 of Coppelion BD has bombed so hard it's nowhere to be found on the chart. rip in pieces.

A total shame they refused to animate that part

Cecillia cooking skills are deadly... too bad they ran an entire episode with that
Seriously. It wasn't funny the 6 more times they made the joke it's not funny now and it's not funny if it's the topic of a whole episode. Ending was the only saving grace, and the execution was kinda rubbish except for this

Definitely. It soured me on the studio.

I'm kidding Magi may look like shit but it's not like Tsuritama was that long ago....right?

Did A1 do the Blue Exorcist film? i heard that looked amazing.
 
I've actually heard that Magi S2 has had a solid production so far, though I can't speak from personal experience.
Accurate depiction of what happenned with magi S2

:p

Indeed it seems she forced each part of the suit to demateralise one by one while avoiding each attack ( judging by the sound effects ) ... Would have been a very cool scene to show ... but hey ..they needed to show the restaurant name on screen first :(

[Samurai Flamenco] - 9

As long as you can ignore, or at least tolerate, the rather rubbish production values of this series pretty much everything else is great. Mainly, of course, the writing, which is what has set it apart from the beginning. I have faith in this show!

A-1 had 3 of the top 10 shows in our 2012 AOTY voting.

what's the relation of rankings and voting with actual production quality? jojo was there wasn't it?

last year only Tsuritama was good that I remember, then they had terrible stuff like SSY, Magi, SAO etc. Blue Exorcist movie is apparently good too that I haven't seen that but as far TV series go, there has been some really bad stuff.

Silver Spoon and Galilei Donna are mostly bad too this year.

A1 Pictures shows in 2013

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru - Terrible
Vividred Operation - Lewd and terrible because of Hiroyuki Yoshino
Ore no Imōto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai. - LOL
Uta no Prince-sama: Maji Love 2000%2013 -Fujoshi pandering
Servant x Service - Excellent
Silver Spoon - Average
Magi: The Kingdom of Magic - Terrible direction/production and Hiroyuki Yoshino fuck it up.
Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic - Slightly improved but still terrible and Hiroyuki Yoshino smells
Galilei Donna - Terrible.

Servant x Service is the only good A1 show this year but too bad it bombed and won't get a sequel.

What? UtaPri was legit good quality, fantastic songs and actually good looking visuals for them all. Did you not see Poison Kiss or Heavens Gate?! or Ren Jingujis song.
 
Well the reason i watched this anime so late was because i was familliar with the muv luv Vn universe . i admit i hadn't seen Alternative but i have to agree that this is one of those cases where the spin-off is better than the source material

I find the original Muv-Luv Alternative to be superior to Total Eclipse, though.

I find it hilarious that I'm holding off watching the latest Log Horizon episode because of a QA session with original author on 4chan.

You think Total Eclipse is better than MLA? How is this even possible?

Ren should be in it so much more than she is.

Didn't even manage to get the book from the previous comiket... at least I bought the bluray.

Aiura is so adorable.

OK, this Koimonogatari OP is probably the best Shaft OP since Soredemo.

Hmmm. You might be right. Definitely a nostalgia bomb.

Oh i understand that thought

No you're reading me wrong , i think that the unlimited and alternative universe superior to the original muv-luv ( extra )
As for total eclipse my feeligns are jambled .. i cannot say right now because i just finished the anime. Ask me in a week or so.

Oh, that makes more sense. You confused me with the "spin-off is better than the source material" talk. Alternative is a direct sequel and conclusion of the plot-line, the only spin-off here is Total Eclipse.

Log Horizon 10

Man, this arc was pretty awesome. When I first started this show, I didn't expect it to end up so smart and... good! Shiroe is definitely the best protagonist of the season.

Plot on the horizon is intriguing,
I can't say I expected a potential war against the former NPCs.

And seriously that pacing. This episode felt over way too quickly.
 
OK, this Koimonogatari OP is probably the best Shaft OP since Soredemo.

Personally I like Bakemonogatari's OP the best. Shaft did a splendid job at the part where the girl was slinging the paint around the room.

I also liked the Denpa Onno OP only for the 3D background on 2D animation effect they did.

This OP really is the best they've done in a long time. The past Monogatari OP's weren't that great.

Oh good, I can now pair these two up.

Infinite Stratos S2 10

Worst girl in the series turns out to have the worst episode in the season.

Shocking.

So many stills throughout the episode and a complete fuck up with Tabane's scene (or lack thereof) that obviously is going to be used for the upcoming BD/DVD.

There were at least a few decent scenes like Chifuyu messing with Ichika, Pika-tan 2 second appearance, Char scary eyes, and Houki blushing/wearing her apron.

 
Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito: Episode 7-8

A double whammy of ugh. Episode 7 had some backstory to the HatsumixHatzuki thing which I didn't care for very much although it did show that Hatsumi could actually communicate but only through writing/texting on her crappy mobile phone.

Episode 8 was the writers just deciding to just stick the Princess Kaguya folk story into the plot for some reason. The fight scenes with the samurai were hilariously bad, I'd compare it to Sword Art Online's fight scenes only with much much less movement.

Hey at least it can't possibly get any worse in the next 5 episodes right!

Friend, it's a dark path you walk. I do not envy you.
