I see you haven't watched Turn A Gundam!
As for when S2 starts to get bad, in a couple of episodes or so.

Sorry about that man. But the reaction of most was to copy/paste into google. And I did spoiler tag it. And the particular spoiler has been part of the comic mythos for ages now. Still, didn't expect somebody to click on a spoiler without knowing what it is. So sorry?
edit: at the very least I'll edit it the title to make sure it doesn't happen again, out of goodwill.

Its not horrible, its a pretty refined take on s1 offering really great moments. Make sure you watch the movie immediately afterwards, excellent take on one of the best characters.
Your posting makes me want to boot up my dvds, I miss ribbons, setsuna f seiei, and saji crossroad.
Fucking ownage. That finale actually better than GBF's
Too good for the season.
Not better than GBF's but better than 00 deserved by a country mile.

Either ways with my daily animu out of the way, it's back to DSII. I might start one of my backlog shows or continue with Space Bros tomorrow.
To what end? This is a thread for English speakers.

Kingdom 2 Episode 35
Diao good strategist, that was excellent after the initial moments.
Still waiting every week for a Young Jump issue to reveal plans for s3.

cant believe Xin took that long to figure it out even having to go as far as to lift her skirt. I thought she was going to keep it secret for much longer, but I guess romantic feelings made her choose otherwise?

This is actually the second Gundam I've made a long way into. The first one I made a long ways into the show was X, which I still need to finish (29 episodes in that one IIRC).
I saw 1 episode of Wing. I just finished watching my favourite anime TTGL at the time IIRC, and watching Wing after that felt like a downgrade by comparison.
I saw about 4 episodes of SEED. I was tired at the time of watching it though, so I kind of need to rewatch it to understand what's happening in it.
4 episodes of G (I'm watching that one alongside PhsychoNinja)
I'm all over the place when it comes to this franchise, lol.
Sunrise fucked up both 00 and R2 man
The rumour the team originally have 00 airing for full 50 eps season from what I read, but Sunrise decided to make it have shift with R2.. its fucked up both.
Fo Geass R2 the team must setting status quo instead the set-up that fully intended for people that already following the show, because Sunrise want to attract new viewer from the timeslot, and for 00 itself the complete opposite happened, they never wanted the "sequel" treatment for the 2nd half.
I don't know if its true or not, maybe its only speculation.. but its still messed up to think the S2 for both show should swapped their set-up.
Yeah, that'd be why I said it was impractical in the spoiler bit, so it was kind of a lame joke on my part. Even if you could twist it that way there's better avenues for that than trying to decode an American movie's name.

You've only got another 10 episodes of Gundam X left. You might as well finish that one completely (Once you get 00 out of the way at least).

Guys, anyone here watch Royal Space Force? I love 90s and late 80s anime but somehow JUST discovered this one exists. Is it any good?
It's one of the best anime ever.
It's very good, but there's one troubling scene that doesn't sit well with people. I'd still recommend watching it but that may be something to keep in mind.
Atelier Escha & Logy 3
I think the novelty factor has pretty much run out. The concept was sorta nice at first, but now with the anime cheap production values, I just don't see the point of watching it. I would rather play the video game at this point and i know I will never find the time for that. So yeah pretty much dropped even though this fake fluffy tail action made it hard to do so.

the movie about angry tanookis and their magical balls. Just amazing.
But they did draw guts in Elfen Lied!
Not quite sure I follow what you mean here.

You see it on shoujo/Josei stuff too. There's probably some truth to it. Japan likes skinship or something.
Elfen Lied 4
Nice selective intelligence, guys. Meet a young girl who might be a runaway? I DUNNO, MAYBE WE SHOULD CALL THE POLICE. Meet a naked bloody girl who can only speak in cat noises? BOY SHE'D SURE LOOK NICE IN OUR LIVING ROOM.
I don't even know how to parse the fight in this episode. For two opponents that are supposedly well-acquanted with the nature and extent of each others' invisible noodle arm power levels, it was mostly a back-and-forth of combatants acting shocked and completely failing to anticipate each others' attacks until it was time for
.
This is purely speculative, but if Nyu is simply going to be fending off wave after wave of attempts to retrieve her, this grinder of suffering that the show is shoving its cast through isn't going to work when virtually all of the characters are going to be disposable. It's all supposed to be this gut-wrenching tragedy or whatever, but if no one survives long enough to give us a reason to care that they've died, it's empty and exploitative. That's tragedy for tragedy's sake, where characters are constructed solely as a cheap delivery vehicle for a momentary shot of DEM FEELY FEELS, are discarded once the dose is administered, and another new dose trotted out in the last one's place. Given the reputation that this show has with AnimeGAF, I fear for the worst.

Isshuukan / One Week Friends 3-5
Man. This continues to be the best show of the season for me.
I thought a lot of things happened in episode 3 too fast, and certain scenes werent as impactful as they were in the manga but episode 4-5 got things back in the right direction. The anime adaptation for OWF is so much better than the source.
Saki is just absolutely adorable and that mall scene where they were trying out clothes pretty much destroyed me for how cute and adorable it was. WARNING: CUTE THING SPOILER Ugh. So cute.
Hase being a creepy jealous dude is enjoyable as is Shogo being a total bro. Eagerly waiting for next weeks episode.
An user on Reddit has been doing translations for the weekly entries by Fujimiya. Episode 3's entry is just too damn sweet.

Yeah I'll definitely finish it, I just got really bored of it 29 episodes in and I had other stuff occupying me at the time.
That and I hated the Frost Brothers. So boring.

Keep watching. I'd say there's enough surviving characters that give the viewer a reason to care.
Though I may be a bit biased since as far as I know, I'm the only animegaffer that legitimately unironically likes Elfen Lied.

It was certainly the funniest the show has ever been. That's for sure. Laughed my ass off at the dance scene.
Arguably the best thing Gainax ever made.
Well, as long as you know what you're getting into.
I only watched the first episode of the show a long time ago. At that time, the over-the-top violence was novel for me, so I spent most of the first half of the episode laughing at the sheer excess (that gag they set up with the clumsy secretary! Priceless!). And then I watched the second half and it seemed dumb, so I never watched any more because I figured I'd already seen the best it had to offer.
Everything else I've heard about the show since makes me feel like I made the right call.
Oh, you meant the comedy BGM that sounds like generic VN conversation BGM. I thought you were talking about one of the action themes or something.
I feel like I should tweet that to Kamiya and ask if he's cuter or not

That was the most stupid way to hide a japanese word i could think off
That " mariage" skit was pure gold.

I didn't mind it either.
It's definitely one of those anime in which you have to switch your brain off in order to watch, but I found it entertaining enough.
Production-porn at its very finest, among the best works that Gainax have produced.

Baby Steps 5:
This show remains both enjoying and believable, which is something I really appreciate. Ei-chan's first match is going about how you'd expect, but with some nice surprises. I think they do a good job of making everything add from a believability point of view, and it works out really well that his biggest skills are being able to practice over and over and having great vision.
The end of the episode when he
was a crazy moment, and it really shows just how much potential Ei-chan has. I also liked how when he was freaking out before the match it was Takuma's words that caused him to calm down.
This show might not be the flashiest series, and visually it is fairly bland looking, but I still have to put it near the top of this season. The characters are all really solid, and it's giving a more technical look at a sport than you typically find in a shounen series. It has more in common with Ookiku Furikabutte in this regard (although not quite as insanely detailed at this point) than anything else.

sharing the same region as Japan so they don't want those is Japan to buy the cheaper set from the US. Also they just bring over the Japanese set to the US and charge the same price.

This anime is definitely top of the season, through the way they characterize Ei chan's progress in tennis and like you said with all the characters being solid. And Takasaki being the best girl.
