A lot cheaper than the first episode but still pretty good. I bet it will drop even more but hopefully it keeps an at least decent level of quality.

I really like this show. Comedy that's actually funny! Shocking! It's also suited to its short length unlike, say, Pupa.

I feel obligated to say that you should watch Aria and its sequel seasons! I might even say you should prioritize it!

I second this. At least if you need a relaxing anime series.

What is it that you dislike about MAL (besides the horrible community)?

The titles mostly. SOme shows that were discussed and marketed for years under an english name suddenly changed to an obscure japanese name the company that created it didnt even use for the sake of "purity"

Senran Kagura Burst - Hebijo Arc Review



So I finished the Hebijo girls' storyline a little past midnight this morning and I gotta say I enjoyed their story a hell of a lot more than I did the Hanzo girls'. It felt like more effort was put into the writing which in result made the dramatic elements in the game that more powerful. From start to finish you're watching bonds develop and friendships being tested which in the end lead to such an amazing payoff that shows how close these girls are with one of another. For Hanzo, we didn't really have any interactions between individuals like Katsuragi/Yagyuu nor Ikarugua/Hibari. For the most part, all the girls revolve around Asuka, which makes sense somewhat as she's the mainline character in the game), but also fails to create that tight knit family that Hebijo has in spades. For Hebijo, everyone interacted with one another and understood each other to the T (
and when they didn't they soon did after fighting
) which made the final battle so enjoyable as
you guided Homura through Orochi slicing down countless enemies to save her fellow teammates.

Really, really fun storyline with fun characters to use.
Except Mirai >_<

Ranking:

1.) Haruka (dash cancelling into an excellent combo extending air super resulting to 1400+ combos never felt so good)

2.) Hikage

3.) Homura (
Crimson Homura
)

4.) Ikaruga

5.) Katsuragi

6.) Yomi

7.) Asuka

8.) Hibari

9.) Yagyuu

10.) Mirai

Onwards to Shinovi Versus! :D

What kind of game exactly is it? I dont think its a fighting game in the strictest sense. Is it an action game or?

Well, that's what happens when you think anime needs a "savior".

IT never has and never will need a proclaimed savior. anime is diverse enough and stands on its own as a medium. It offers high quality shows by talented studios season after season and theres usually at least one or two that make big bank for their creator.

PUT YOUR GUNS ON CAUSE WE'RE GETTING A NEW SENGOKU BASARA ANIME!

I can't say I'm too surprised by this announcement since Basara 4 is coming out this Thursday and doing an announcement like this while the hype is at its peak is great advertising. STILL HYPED THOUGH!

The 3ds games are action side scrollers ( like street of rage but with more ennemies ) it's action with fan service.

The vita game is a 3d arena brawler ( like a dynasty warrior ) , again full of fanservice.

Side scrolling slash 'em up, quite fun!
=========================

Playing Shinovi Versus right now and R_thanatos you weren't kidding when you said you didn't need goggles for this. This game is literally slapping you in the face with it and I'm loving it.


Oh and performed Katsuragi's level 2 Ninja Art on Ikaruga that destroyed her bra (
and left little chibi stickers on her nipples as a censor
)

This is the game we play~
 
I'll probably wait for Shinovi Versus to be localized.... then again, since XSEED will most likely do it, I'm not sure if we'll get a physical release, which prefer to do on Vita.

Ojamajo Doremi Dokkaan! 25

A bit of role reversal, on top of trolling Baba because everyone is either a sharp listener or flat out spites Baba. But can you blame them for spiting her when she holds information at ransom?

Didn't know Majo Cross had that kind of money though.

Production values dropped a bit. Kind of expected, but hopefully it won't go further. Still fairly entertaining episode. It really is pretty great how 90s OVA this feels.

I like Hachimitsu. So far his entire purpose is to appear randomly when everything is happy, say something angsty, and then leave. I get what they're going for, but it's handled so awkwardly because he has no presence in the show outside of his angst moments. It's like he's a ghost summoned by cheerfulness.

My hometown is ready.

EDIT: I totally read that as Senran Kagura and now I feel dumb.

I love your new avatar

Sakura Trick 02

This show is so enjoyable and easily my favorite new show from this season. I am quite entertained.

Its so refreshing to see an anime where they just make out because they want to and because they enjoy it. Its like the antithesis to basically every other romance anime ever made where the characters spend more time talking about love rather than actually exploring it. This show literally has more developments in relationships in 2 episodes than most shows have in their entire series.

The girls are cute and the interactions between all of them are cute as well. I'm glad the side characters get some spotlight but at the same time not pushing the main pair out of focus. I don't even know how SDBurton survived that study session scene.

Hebijo is much better written because they had more time to flesh out the characters after the feedback from the original game. The hebijo side was added later after all.

You'll find that most of the balance between characters have been corrected once you'll start shinobi versus. and everyone will have more time even if asuka is still the main heroine of the hanzo side.


can't wait to see your ranking after you'll see how improved they will all be in the sequel.



Yes ! It's not exceptionnal but it works part of why they tried to make it work in anime.. And the anime made it work properly too i think.

I like the purity of it as well. No messing around. The characters love each other and they show it. Yuri for glorious yuri's sake.

I actually had to pause quite a bit. I was losing my mind. :lol

I know this feeling well.

Kuroko's Basketball 2 Episode 40

tumblr_mznqnflc8l1tn3nb0o2_500.png


That was a mighty entertaining episode and so close to the climax, hopefully next episode can bring us to that point. Fairly amazing episode though I dont like how the series has become
it seems difficult to think that Aomine's development has potentially hit a wall while Kagami had explosive growth enough to catch up and keep up with him in such a short time. Though at least we got rid of the energy beams and such and its far better than it being completely one sided. If they do beat this number one offensive team then the other games may be smooth sailing.

Kuroko just needs his own rival, and I liked the normal team members still could score and be vital members.
 
Youkai Watch 02


Toilet humor and AKB48 joke in the same episode?

This is turning out to be oddly enjoyable. Maybe cause the protag isn't an overhypered kid but a little more grounded which makes it pretty bearable. The humor is pretty funny too and definitely more diverse than other kid shows.
 

One Piece 629

Opening: Yeah, its not better than Hands up! But I still think its pretty decent.

CAPTAIN BUGGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely loved they gave him a speaking role. Living legend indeed.

And it was so worth the wait for that face fault of Law's.

Maison Ikkoku - 01~10


Everyone is an asshole...or not, manager and Souichiro-san are nice.
Ichinose is so good imitating another people. "Godai-san ganbatte kudasai ne!" "Kyoko-san, I LOVE YOU!" lol
Haha, Ken Akamatsu is a hack. I'm expecting I'm going to have the same fun here that I had with Ranma 1/2. What I didn't expect was for
Souichiro-san to be Kyoko's late husband, I was thinking he would be some sort of platonic love.
Time for a new marathon!
YES.

You're a hero, gashi.

Maison Ikkoku - 11~20

...or not, Kozue-chan isn't one too.

I need more jealous Kyoko-san, it's so easy and fun to tease her and Godai-kun.
Even the japanese language is an asshole to Godai-kun, &#12414;.&#12417;&#12382;&#12435; and &#35910;&#34101;? Why so hard japanese. Even his gall bladder is an asshole.
At least joining the puppet theatre club led him to do a play with Kyoko-san.
Did Kyoko marry a man who is always
wearing full skin tight black bodysuit
? She showed insterest in the guys
wearing
it at the festival.
The Ichinoses heading to their relatives house, Yutsuya is off to God knows where(God we need an Yutsuya episode) and Akemi on a ski trip it's Godai chance to Godai make his move, but:
But none of them can get in their groove without Godai-kun around, the true power of the MC.
Yotsuya is the best, and don't worry, he gets episodes.
 
Magi: The Kingdom of Magic Episode 15 The Magicians' Country

The goi seem to be the ones who are the bad guys and oddly even in the context of the anime, even last seasons arc kind of proved it with the oppression and such in Balbadd.

Mogametts story was nice and such. Wouldnt mind hearing him some more.
 
Sekai Seifuku Bouryaku no Zvezda 02

I guess this was another introduction to the cast episode?

It wasn't bad or at least it didn't drag too much. I wonder if we're going to get more world conquest going on here or if it'll just silly hijinks with these characters which I guess isn't bad but needs to be even more crazy first.

Brazzers worthy

Remember when we had to use effort to advertise because of no internet or tv? Aikatsu remembers.

I feel sorry for PowaPowaPuririn, they just got thrown under the bus even more considering what just happened at the end.

Yo dawg, we're having a joint project with Tristar. Soliel and Tristar becomes STAR*ANIS for the summer tour.
 
Hunter x Hunter (2011) 02

The action's pretty nice in this show, I gotta admit. I like all three of our protags so far, but I'm kind of leaning towards Kurapika at the moment for favorite chara.

Well played.

It's a shonen anime. Your description fits like, all of them.



ON AN UNRELATED, HUMOROUS NOTE: Today I was leaving Church and decided to open up the browser on my phone, only to see that my browser was still showing a .gif that Chickdigger sent me. My gut reaction was to lob my phone away from me, but instead I wisely shut it off until I could get home and exit out of Chickdigger's .gif.

Heart attack of the century, man.

That'll teach you to use the internet.

Show feels like it's still trying to get in the groove of things, which is fine since its still early on. Get to know the characters before trying to plug in the majority of the plot is kinda good.
 
Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time Episode 3

Seems the episodes are just becoming less and less entertaining. This was certainly as exciting as polishing a desk would be. Hopefully next episode is back to being entertaining and enjoyable.

Now that is the kind of hometown I can get behind. Er, no pun intended.

Shio continues to be the vast majority of the reason to watch this show. Her newfound military friends in this episode seemed like pretty all right guys
until they all got unceremoniously killed off. Note to self: fanservice photos are a death flag.
