Tilting the entire building?! Holy shit, amazing amazing! I was totally on edge when the ball was rolling in the 3rd tray.
That was easily one of the best episodes of the entire series, absolute craziness. The "assassin" imagery was perfect too, along with all the other over the top visuals. The emotional ups and downs of the characters are just so good, Ichijo's reaction to figuring out what was happening was priceless.

I was fond of this part in the manga and they handled it well. Good stuff, heartwarming, zzz.


Well, he's a little kid and they're friends, lol. I didn't find his antics annoying.

Yeah, that was pretty grand. I was expecting that ED song they went with this episode to be saved for the last episode, though...

Wasn't it the old version? I'm sure that they're saving 2nd Mix for the very ending.

I kind of doubted their ability to make this premise interesting but I was completely wrong.

Yeah, that's true enough, I guess.

Coincidently, if no-one noticed, they announced the first soundtrack TV for iM@S over the weekend... which only covers five episodes. Yup, looks like they're going to have something like five OSTs for the show.

Guess they know their market. Suppose I should be thankful that they aren't releasing a separate single for every episode or bundling the insert-song/ED mixes with the BDs.
 
Code Geass R2 2

"We'll back you up but you gotta stand firm" Yes Kallen, stand firm. FIRM.
I'm sorry, what was I talking about again?

Ah so THAT's what happened
at the end of season 1
. The nuke picture still remains relevant.

C2 is not as cute as "C.C." C2 sounds robotic. Saying it like CiCi sounds moe as fuck.

"Lets see you pop, Brittanian!" Awesome.

I hope Kallen stays in the bunny suit the whole time.

What the hell? Athens in the sky?

Lelouch no ecchi!

Put on this coat. you are distracting the viewers!

More mech fighting. This one seems very fast.

And- cut to Kallen's ass. I like where this show is going.

Lelouch.
Knocking down buildings
. LIKE A BOSS.

ZERO IS BACK
! Who saw that coming? Hands?

Did they have a plan all along? IMPOSSIBLE!

I REALLY hope they off that annoying Chinese Federation guy.

Oh snap, another
GEASS
. Who's creating those damned things?

As much as I love this show, the pace is so slow that I could easily watch a whole hour of it every week.

Also, get that milf, Daikichi! What a hottie. And Kouki looks like his son, anyway. Really hope that is what´s going to happen next.

Aaand I want to hit Rin´s mom in the face. Hard. What an uncaring bitch.

This was the worst episode of the season so far, production and direction wise. Lots of long or extreme-long shots, shots of characters backs as they talk and really average animation elsewhere. On top of that, there was no guiding hand unifying the editing of sequences together so they just happened. It wasn't disjointed, like some of this seasons Natsume episodes, but it had zero momentum and no flow.

Luckily this show has actual characters and story and dialogue, so an episode can still be enjoyable even when the episode itself is constructed in an inadequate way.

Speaking of Spice and Wolf, anyone who bought the Blu-rays may want to consider returning them, or if you haven't bought them yet then... don't. It's an upscale. And the show was done in HD.

The upscale isn't done well either - it's got smearing, edge enhancement, contrast/black level modification (which results in black crush), etc. Basically it's garbage, unfortunately.

Man, Funimation are master trolls.

Heh, I remember Maken-Ki. The manga is fucking terrible. (worse than IS? Probably.)

Also, let's get the hate-train rolling on Senjou no Horizon.

That's a guy?

Also a quick look at the summary

In the far future, humans abandon the devastated Earth and move to the upper world "Tenjo". But Tenjo and the law of causation collapse by a war and humans returns to the Earth, which has turns into an inhabitable planet except for Shinshu area.

Shinshu is too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicate the area and create "Juso Sekai" in a parallel world. In order to rebuild Tenjo and the law of causation, the returned humans start reproduction of the history from B.C. 10,000. When the reproduction proceeds to A.D. 1413, a war breaks out in Shinshu and Juso Sekai falls onto the original world.

The humans living in Juso Sekai lose their land and invade the original world. People in Shinshu surrender and the land is divided by the invaders from Juso Sekai. They try to resume the history reproduction from A.D.1457, but the update of the history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread the world.

My head is full of fuck.

Maken-ki is the first "mainstream" work of Takeda Hiromitsu, a porn artist whose entire resume consists of NTR manga in which cute girls are "tricked" by evil cute shotas, rich fat men or ugly otaku into cheating on their lovers.
Sounds like the perfect material for people in these parts, and elsewhere on the superhighway.
