The anime supposedly isn't running anywhere near long enough to reach the manga ending, so it isn't something you should really worry about being spoiled on.zeroshiki said:
It probably isn't what you would guess anyways, if that helps ease your mind.
Well if the anime is never going to get there it doesn't really matter how the manga ends.Steroyd said:
The manga could end with Daikichi getting cryogenically frozen to run an orphanage on Mars in the year 2153, but that kind of thing wouldn't spoil the anime if the plot remains in the early stages of the manga.

I plan on reading the manga when the anime ends, so I'd also prefer no spoiler talk.

Yeah, it's pretty good. If you liked episode 1, you'll probably love the rest of the show.
There's a pretty eh non-ending, but if you're open to reading the manga afterward, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Mayo Chiki 6: Megane megane!
I have 3 or so episodes left for Kaiji. Definitely gets a lot more intense. Then it goes back to the card games and I lose interest. :/
So far, 4/5.
Things I like:
Intensity
Themes on humanity, rich vs. poor, etc.
Game setups
Things I don't like:
The commentator (gets annoying)
The voice acting

Because Darth Vader was loyal to Padme! He wouldn't have slept with some two bit hussy. George Lucas would be turing in his grave if he were dead and gave a shit about Star Wars.-Minsc- said:

What a true kanchou. His life before that of his crew, and even in flight he still obliterates his opponent.
Awesome moment by bishounen-kun when he FUCKING RAMS THE SPACESHIP HEAD-FRONT AGAINST THE ENEMY. Yamamoto looked pretty manly too.

We'll get to my home theater a bit later. First:
THE IDORUM@STER 6:
They definitely squeezed every single cent out of the production budget this episode. The GLORIOUS dance sequence had the bare minimum number of frames needed to qualify as animated. It was completely ridiculous. And yet somehow it still managed to be completely awesome. This is what THE IDOLM@STER games would look like if they were hand-animated instead of using 3D polygonal cel-shaded models. I don't have much to say about Smoky Thrill itself, it is Ryuuguu Komachi's image song from the game, so there you have it. It is what it is. It's nice when a series is being directed by someone who's a fan of the source material I guess, this whole series is like a love letter to the franchise. Somebody at KyoAni better take notice, THE IDORUM@STER is in K-ON's rear-view mirror and Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear.
Misc. notes:
Players of the games already know this, but if you didn't realize it from the OP animation, the ED scroll this episode makes it explicitly clear what each idol's image colors are. The colored arrows motif consists of each idol's image color, in the OP you see the arrow corresponding to their color rising up behind them, in the ED of this episode you see them following their arrow. You can see this very clearly in this video where they wear costumes corresponding to their color.
Much like Al Gore, Miki always refers to herself in the third person. This makes all conversations with her amusing, as you can see from the episodes so far. I want to produce Miki in the game just so I can be amused by Miki always referring to herself as Miki like she's The Rock or something. The Futami twins are the same way, though it's not as noticeable or amusing with them because their referring to themselves as Mami and Ami are helpful for figuring out which one is talking at any given time. The same voice actress does the voice for both twins, which means she frequently talks to herself when Mami and Ami are talking to each other.
It's not shown much in the anime so far, but now that Ryuuguu Komachi has officially entered the story, we might see more of the interactions between The Miki and Iori. The reason Iori is called Forehead-chan is because that is Miki's nickname for her, as they don't like each other much. The brief exchange in episode 2 between them where Miki calls her that is so far the only reference to this mutual dislike in this series. Mostly I want to see Iori get called Forehead-chan a lot more, that's pretty much her real name to me because it's what she is always referred to as in Xenoglossia despite Miki not being in that show.
Kotori is awesome. That's all.

So, my blu-ray arrived in the mail.
REDLINE:
Wow, what a ride. Holy crap.
I suppose most people are expecting the story to be pretty meh, and yeah, it was pretty much just a shell for the action and delivering the characters to the next race or battle. But still, let's face it, we're all watching it for the amazing art. And it delivers. It's an assault on the eyes, but in the best way possible. At times it feels like there's too much going on, and I'm sure I'll have to watch it a couple more times to take everything in. This is a fantastic movie, visually speaking, and I can't help but wonder how often we'll see stuff at this level anymore? Oh well, this is a great piece, and I'm going to guess it'll be very rewatchable.
So yeah, that's been my weekend movie, haha.
Edit: added a pic to make my post seem more exciting, lol.

Well, I was also going to post something about iM@S 6, but I don't feel like there's much of a point to following something like that.
e: Wait, based on Youtube video of the Smoky Thrill sequence, someone had already put that up less than two hours after the episode aired?
