Tomodachi wa Mahou
It's kinda underwhelming
, expected more out of the full ED.
Where's the full Penguin version of rock over Japan?
just like the show har har

Slower-paced episode this time around. It's amazing that there's a character less notable than Akari. I thought the teacher was a student wearing a labcoat at first.
Anyway. Should I watch Madoka Magica? I hear it was the big thing of last season for some reason and I haven't watched any magical girl shows since Heartcatch Pretty Cure.

I agree. It wears thin pretty fast. This mix on the disc, however, is so awesome.
Was the Gameboy mix of the song ever posted in here? It's pretty cool.

Wow, they put six remixes on the single? That's got to be a new record for an anime song.
Also, I like this unofficial remix someone made from the TV size a few weeks ago:

Only two of them care to actually push the boundaries though. That one I posted just a bit ago, and [This almost incredible one.] The others sound like the exact same track, but leveled differently.
E: make that three. looks like I hadn't heard one.

Madoka isn't really a typical magical girl show. It's something that even non-fans might enjoy. Watch up to episode 3 and avoid spoilers at all costs.

lo lol lol
Omg.
You know, I really like this anime and I like its realistic tone, *but* it´s totally unrealistic in terms of people´s behavior. Everyone is waaaay too nice when it comes to finding out about a cross-dressing boy. Be it Nitori´s colleagues in class or his teachers. It *could* be a Japanese thing, but in the school I went to, everyone would laugh at and make fun of you if they found out about it, let alone if you came to school in girls´ clothing and wearing a wig. They certainly wouldn´t tell you "you´re really cute" and let it end at that.
It´s kinda sweet that this show attempts to present such an utopia where things are rather peaceful. But it certainly makes a weird topic even weirder.
Oh, and wow, didn´t realize that that one woman was a full-fledged transsexual. Another point that´s rather unrealistic. Meeting such special people everywhere in his environment, that Nitori
Anyways, looking forward to next episode.

La Fillette Révolutionnaire Utena 20: Probably the most fleshed-out duel so far.
I didn't quite get the shadow skit this time. Fox girls and Bunny girls under the rain, what?
EDIT: All Dear Future remixes range from crap to decent.
I loved how Utena beat Wakaba not by using Anthy, but instead taking Saionji's sword on her. Ultimately it is Wakaba's unrequited feelings for Saionji what hurt her, and not Saionji's longing for Anthy. It's a reversal of what was shown by the Onion Prince in the previous episode, with a sad but poetically just outcome for Wakaba.

Uta Pri - 9
Yeah, this episode was totally unnecessary or should I say the last 2 episodes were bad? Why not dedicate an episode to Ichinose like everyone else? It's such a mystery. Isn't he your most popular character Uta Pri? Actually, if they did a character specific episode, the last episode could have simply been a fun beach episode with the usual antics, and Episode 9 could have concluded the same way except better with the focus on Ichinose, even if it would have only been a mild improvement with how bad the character episodes have been on average in this series. Actually, this series is missing

Now this is something I can really get into. What a fun episode.
If I weren't already firmly on team Fang girl I'd give serious thought to defecting to team Boy girl. He/she was so awesome in this.
My one complaint this time is that Shorthair McBigtits is stupid to the point of annoyance. It's nowhere near as bad as with Shybitch Von Manhater but it's there nonetheless.
So yeah, more episodes like this and less like what we were getting at first, please. Too bad it looks like we're getting a Tweedledum and Tweedledee episode next. I'm dreading it already.

I should rewatch it...especially since its on netflix, I could watch it at work and at home. Ive noticed I cant handle even looking at screens of the last episodes or even just gifs of it. Its so powerful. Enjoy.

I would be shocked if Itchy Nose was the most popular character. I would have thought Syo or Ittoki were. Ichinose has no personality.
Aigis said:Well, Manga Entertainment is a terribly incompetent company so it's probably their fault.
As for 2.0, it's like the George Lucas'd (well, visually. no stupid awful changes to the core film afaik) version of GITS:
Yes, the amazing & memorable opening sequence is replaced with CG. Barf.
Thankfully, Oshii is not completely insane like Lucas and lets the original movie out in proper releases rather than Laserdisc rips as an extra on DVD rereleases. Although, the US version of the GITS 2.0 Blu-ray came with a Laserdisc rip of the original movie as an extra, lol. But he didn't have anything to do with that.
I'm throwing up everywhere.

La Fillette Révolutionnaire Utena 21: Keiko is a boring character and I don't know why they set up an episode on her.
Finally some explanations next episode!
Maybe because there's no one besides Nanami with actual ties to Touga, and we cannot have another duel versus Nanami! I would have liked that however. 
Finally some explanations next episode!
Wandering Son 10:
Well, the people are now starting to act more realistic towards Nitori. But a serious wtf @ his dad. Talk about being "too laid back". I´m almost half-expecting his father to reveal to his son that he once wanted to be a girl himself, lol.
And I somehow feel really bad about Doi-kun. Surely, he gave off the aura of a bad guy, but his immediate reaction to Nitori telling him "I hate you" proves that judgement wrong. Maybe he´s also gay? Or maybe even stranger, he likes girl-Nitori? We´ll find out eventually, I guess.

Azusa is in fact dumber than a bag of rocks, this is verifiable fact, but some people like that sort of thing. She checks a box.
Makoto is awesome in ways that it's hard to describe. So I'll just requote this from the previous thread:
I wish I could say I wrote that myself, but I didn't. :|
The Futami twins are actually pretty funny, which you'll hopefully see soon enough. They have nicknames for everybody.
I don't know if I should be disappointed or furious right now. I ordered the Mushishi DVDs from Amazon, and I when I got them the first disk didn't work. It seemed to have some sort of film or something in spots on the back that I couldn't get off.
So I asked for a new copy, and now it has arrived fourteen days later. When I looked at the condition of the first disk, it looks spotless... and now my PS2 is telling me that it is Unable to read the disk. Goddammit.
I'm hoping it's not my PS2, though I'm beginning to think it is.

Ending on a transition is just...not happening. Sometimes there can be a small setup with a glimmer of hope for a future continuation, but there is no way three episodes can be dedicated to setting up something new.
Obvious predictions but spoilering just in case.

The Bog will last a few more episodes. The next episode is titled "The Precarious Situation" or something along those lines. Not ending there. They've also set up that stupid win button that Ichijo will bust out to fill another episode or two just when Kaiji thinks he's on the verge of winning.
