Beyond the Boundary Episode 6

Came for the passionate and intense Akihito Hiromi shower scenes but then was left with so much more. Episode gave me many of the same feelings UtaPri dance sequences evoked and the song was alright too. Hiromi and Akihito's moves and that final pose, amazing. All around just one plain hilarious and fun episode for everyone involved. Akihito and Hiromi should sport the sleeveless look more often, much better than their traditional outfit. Additionally, they are so similar in the things they are passionate about, that whole outdoors scene was amazing.

They did look great in those outfits, Hiromi specially (Akihito is already cute, but I wasn't really into Hiromi's looks before). The animations during the dance were just incredible.

Can't wait for the episode where Mirai and Mitsuki agree to go on a date with Akihito and Hiromi if they kiss each other naked

That will be a good episode.

Oh yeah and that will defeat a youmu somehow.

Aww, we didn't even have any gifspam or food porn to close out the last thread! What has become of our hallowed traditions, etc.
 
If more Strike Witches 3 news ever decides to show up it will give me more energy!
I cannot do anything about that .

Not sure if we can afford that given how unsteady gaf can become :)

Kyoukai no kanata - 06
After 6 episodes , one thing is for sure, Knk is barely "ok" , it's not bad , but you feel like something is missing ..
This episode was kinda boring

I feel like i will watch all of those episodes and forget about them next season ...nothing really stand out ..

Remember how in the Anime Voting thread of 2012 I wrote this about SAO:

"no one wants to talk about this show ever again."

Guess I was totally wrong.

In order for Anime to be saved, it had to be killed first. SAO was the destroying angel that we needed.
 
Wanted to state "X is best girl this season" and post pictures/gifs of her for the new thread.

Only now do I realizes that so far, I don't really have anyone who I can call that.

Wow, what a way to make myself feel depressed again this morning.

:(

Hyouka, back when we still believed in KyoAnus. What fools we were. What foolish, foolsome fools. But we were in love, it couldn't be helped.

So.... the Newtype rankings came out. Kirito is still on it. I don't think we're going to see him ever disappear from it. Like Kira Yamato. lol.
 
Index movie - Special
Gekijouban%20Toaru%20Majutsu%20no%20Index_%20Endymion%20no%20Kiseki%20-%20Special_01.jpg

They didn't forget they had to animate railgun S2 first !
I think the staff needed a break , maybe that's why we don't have index S3 yet

Gekijouban%20Toaru%20Majutsu%20no%20Index_%20Endymion%20no%20Kiseki%20-%20Special_02.jpg

Good question, i like that everyone is self aware.

Well this movie was like walking on thin line, using plenty of elements from the later books , struggling to fit in the timeline from the books .. Why did they build the elevator ? Because the author felt like it ...
Accel world later books even felt under the same problem .. it happenned , because the writter wanted to.

Gekijouban%20Toaru%20Majutsu%20no%20Index_%20Endymion%20no%20Kiseki%20-%20Special_03.jpg

Joshiraku ? what's that doing here ?

Well this set of specials was good , index worked hard making all those photo shots , too bad there are much more intresting characters in the show besides you.

List of characters more intresting than index:
  • Mugino
  • Last worder
  • Misaka worst
  • Aiwass
  • Shokuhou
  • Railgun
  • Uhiaru
  • Takitsubo
  • Yomikawa
  • Fremea
I could continue my list but i'll stop there.. good attempt index , but no matter what you do , your main heroine status will always be void to me.
 
So it's finally time !

Damn, my first time making it on the wall of shame, not sure if I should feel accomplished or terrible. I blame my Clannad episode-reactions.

It was pretty funny. I missed the entire conversation but why did people think that it was the most ridiculous and unforeshadowed plot twist ever? Jw.
 
I'm not surprised I'm not on the wall of shame this time. I've only been following 4 shows so far and all of them are just shounen action shows, so there's not much to say about them.

Magi S2
Hajime No Ippo Rising

Those are the only 2 shows I'm watching that's new this season. The other is One Piece and HxH2011. I'm planning on starting up Blazblue one day but I never felt like diving in.

Because it relies on
Lulouche saying something completely stupid and out of character, and his Geass conveniently choosing to go out of control at that exact moment.

So apparently we'll hear more about the Fate/Stay Night anime next year at the end of January through some Type Moon magazine or something.

I would say that many things in anime, movies, books, etc all have something conveniently happening. It's why they're interesting otherwise they would be sort of... boring, yeah?

Log Horizon's text in the OP made me want to watch Sword Art Online.

Should I?

Honestly, no.

Kyouka no Kanata EP 6
Funniest episode of the show yet. This would have been the best episode had Kyoani spent less time exploring fetishes. I literally died at the shower scenes and the singing at the very end.
Bubble girl
had me in tears and they just killed it with that
youmu girl
doing the lead vocals haha. This should have been the boss youmu instead of that cloud.

Steins;Gate EP 17-24
wow wow wow

This show was a rollercoaster. I mean that quite literally. Characters I thought I'd never see again make a triumphant reappearance, the D-mail twist was horrifying and the budding relationship between
Okabe and Kurisu
was perfect. I am so hoping for some kind of sequel. I have to watch the OVAs that came out and I gotta buy the blu-ray. I didn't shed a single tear, but I sympathized so hard with these characters and the struggle Okabe had to go through.

Log Horizon EP 1-5
I'm really enjoying this so far. It's not getting tripped up on fetishes and the main character isn't an inexplicable babe magnet that gets all the gamer girls. The ninja watching his back is pretty hilarious though. It's not as pretty as SAO, but the battles are solid enough and the cohesiveness of the cast is great. It won't be in my top ten for this year, but I'm glad that I finally started watching it.

These three have been very enjoyable. Steins Gate my favorite amongst them. I will always recommend this series. It left such a positive impression on me and Kurisu is probably one of my top favorite characters now.

Log horizon and KnK have been quite fun to watch. KNK is KyoAni not giving a fuck and Log Horizon is SAO with a lot of the stupid filtered out of it.

Still in the top 10 I see, what am I doing with my life?

No shame in anything. Im working full time and still post a ton.

Lots of things just happen in stories for the convenience of the plot, its true. Its when your make your characters behave like idiots to bring about that plot twist that it becomes an issue.

Swear to god I'm going to get on that wall of shame next time.

Well that thread wrapped up quickly.

Didn't even make the wall of shame this time. Ah well. I'll probably get back on it once I find another anime that'll hook me like Gurren Lagann or Code Geass did.

Sweet, sweet ambitions :D

Acchi Kochi 4
First show I've seen with so many girls getting nosebleeds
Impressive strategic kick the can tactics

Also one of the cutest and sweetest shows of all time.

We only need one gif this season:

tumblr_mvvgr9sUVW1spf7z6o1_400.gif

That ones highly impressive.

I didn't even realize we were near new thread time. Oh well....

Catching up on Non Non Biyori.... this is so adorable and good....

NNB is precious. I only watched one episode so far but NYANPASU~!

Thursday is best day.

Golden Time is best show.

Koko is best girl, undisputed.

This is another good one. Anime has been consistently fun every season. all the talk of it being dead or somehow declining has been greatly exaggerated.
