Nothing wrong with that, though. I like both the darkness of Psycho-Pass and the coolness of K.
I quite like both of them as well, they just both seem to be pulling all the stops to try and attract a target audience (Or in K's case, every single person ever)
What is going on with all the rape this season? I mean, damn. How can you even begin to portray her situation as one where she comes out as a villain? "Ugh... drama and a conflicted and character and ugghhhh..." This show really is like Gantz. Just makes me feel bad on a human level.
Medaka S2 1:
Those VAs must've had a hell of a time speaking in number strings with inflection on the important parts of the line. So weird. My body is ready for this to evolve into a Gainax action mess of awesomesauce.

Oh god, it's gonna live up to the years and years of waiting, I can feel it.
sao 15
SUGU~~~~
LET ASUNA GET MARRIED TO RAPIST AND TAKE THE SUGU, YOU papayaGOT; I'LL STAB YOU IN THE plantain FOR MAKING HER CRY
oniichan dakedo etc 2
GUHEHEHEHE
By the way, jojo's OP is one of a bare handful that I would say is a true 10/10; incredibly good audio, but more importantly, ridiculously good graphics and sync with the audio.
Psycho Pass 1
I only watched this to kill some time out of boredom, and was not expecting to like it so much so quickly. Definitely recommend this if you like crime action genres.
Sword Art Online 15: Sugu is fucking loaded. dayum. Really well done episode, but I felt the OP had too many spoilers.
Btooom! 02: This is so terrible. At least they pushed the story up instead of making it up along the way like the manga does.
K 02: dat ED. This entire episode just screamed about how they want C83 to have a lot of doujinshi about this...
Psycho-Pass 01 That was interesting.
Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb 02:HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG dat uncensored bath. So many great parts to this episode. I hope that in 20 years, we see an anime of them as adults together.
Busou Shinki 02: Okay, I thought my comments about last weeks episodes were a bit sexist but this...
Hayate no Gotoku! Can't Take My Eyes Off You 02: WHERE'S HINA
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! 02: dat dream at the beginning was hilarious. The action scenes were stupidly good. This show doesn't deserve them (action scenes, good or bad).
Jormungand 13: Is Valmet bigger? Or is that just from not seeing her for a season?
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate: So terrible. He HIT HER WHAT THE pineapple. I don't understand what this was really about. At least Chisato won at the end but god damn. Also, ED is nice.

There's nothing to censor, Hidamaris don't have any sexual organs, you should know this if you watched the first seasons and all the OVAs!
Robotics;Notes 1 - I'm probably going to really like R;N, but no where near as much as S;G. You just can't beat Okabe and Makise. PS I want that app.
Medaka Box Abnormal 1 - Awww yeah Medaka. Seems this is gonna be another 12 episode season, so hoping we get a s3+ after this airs.
Spoiler
A little confused why Anshin'in and Hanten Shiranui were shown in the OP when they were introduced into the series quite a while after this season takes place. Though Kumagawa should make his first appearance at the end of this season.
Sword Art Online 15 - I have mixed feelings about the Fairy Dance volumes. On one end you get the imouto making her appearance, and on the other you get this creep that makes it flirt with NTR.
Seitokai no Ichizon Lv.2 0 - It's going to take getting used to Chizuru and Mafuyu having their seiyuu's changed, but the series is awesome enough that I can get through it.
Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu: Finale 1 - Finally got around to watching this. Still annoyed that the anime is finishing up with 4 OVAs, but it's a finish, so I'll take it I suppose. Good first episode. Probably watch the second one soon if feel up to looking for a BD raw.
Also, I am having the hardest time trying to find a replica of the lab member's pin in Steins;Gate, that's actually y'know, a pin. All I can find are shirts and coasters. For something that seems so obvious to sell, it's annoyingly hard to find it.
Flonne Wrote:magi 2
hmm, seems like Nexon is actually one of the sponsors for this, if you look in the credits. Hopefully it doesn't fall apart because of that!
:f6:?
They sponsor Detective Conan and that's still going strong.
Magi 02: Hey, he's not completely useless at least. Also, how the pineapple is the big guy not dead. Animation is worse than Muv-Luv by the way.
Medaka Box Abnormal 01: My favourite part of the episode actually was seeing Kumagawa at the end of the OP, the sequence just felt so epic. Such an amazing character, and it's a shame they're teasing it when he's not even going to be in this season. The number stuff was impressive though.
Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse 15: Take 1 week break. Come back with even more QUALITY animation. pineapple yeah. Climactic ending scene, but story is still pomegranate.
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun 03: The overall feel for his brother at the end was very grim. I'm just having trouble understanding what the actual story has to do with the premise/title anymore. They cleared all of it in episode 1, so... Also, stop teasing, and start shipping.
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo 02: Okay, so it feels overly obvious that he's going to be a writer/editor, given the significant inclusion of magazine articles, combined with his critique of her manga last episode, but that may just be me. Apparently, Mashiro is a savant, which is drastically unappealing to me. I want to kill Jin and take his life. He must be gay or something. There is an unbalance in the universe and it must be corrected. Hope they ship that by the end of this, but it will likely be one of those terrible no closure things, along with SorataxMashiroxNanami triangle. Can't wait to see how Ryuunosuke/Yui Horie fits into this though.
Girls und Panzer 02: Terrible fanservice scene where nothing was actually shown except that swimsuit at the end. Also, I just feel they don't have much to fanservice anyways, except that swimsuit. It's amazing they found a StuG underwater and now they're using it. Ignoring the fantasy logistics of removing it from the water, how does it still function... It's an Ausf. F so it has a 7.5cm StuK 40 L/43 meanwhile their Panzer IV Ausf. D is apparently using a 7.5cm KwK 37 L/24... The StuG has double the effective penetration, advantageous profiling, camouflage since they're in a forested area, accuracy since it's a Tank Destroyer... Seems fair. I want to know what happens when a tank eats a shell, because well... if the StuG shot the 38t, it'd probably split in half.
Also, just before they introduced the instructor, I hear a propeller and said "Oh God, they're not going to air drop a tank are they?" And sure enough, parachutes appear, and I say to myself "It's probably a Tiger, or King Tiger" and a pineappleing Type 10 drops out... The instructor's head looks very lightbulbish. Reminds me of Mandark from Dexter's Lab... Which is quite creepy as you can imagine.
I'm concerned how this will play out because in ep 1, they were fighting a Churchill variant and Matilda's, and in the OP, you see a scene of M4 Shermans strolling on a beach. Those are feasible to win. But then I see a cut to a snow field where there's a pineappleing Tiger leading the charge, and the tank shown with her sister's interview is a Tiger...
All three of the girls are so adorable; I was about to hate Aoyama for her response to just seeing them together, but then the end of the episode happened, pineapple. Still, Mashiro is my favorite, probably of this whole year.
Ixion Saga DT 2:
Call me old-fashioned, but I think testicle humor is always funny. We left our heroes after they defeated Erecpyle Dukakis (ED) with a massive kick to the groin.
A recap
As a reward for his heroics earlier in the episode, our plucky hero treats himself to the most expensive shoes he can buy
And not one to let a classic opportunity pass him by, https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl...Jb_s#t=99s
our intrepid hero goes straight for the babymakers with his shiny new shoes
Enter episode two...
TRAGIC NEWS FOR ED!
Not long after, the episode sets what I think may be a record for testicle references and jokes within a 2 minute stretch of anime.
And the ending song (*cough* The... ED) is a masterpiece. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I wet myself.
LET'S GO, ED! GO, GO, GO, GO! Grab his precious balls!
This show is doing an incredibly good job of being completely hilarious and not knowing how to take itself seriously if serious peach-slapped it in the face. Phenomenal.
SAO 16: Woo progress. Can't wait til this part progresses further. I wasn't a huge fan of this portion of the LN, so i'm not gonna hold my breath but so far I'm enjoying it a lot better then I thought. Also, i hate when fight scenes are cut short
The Adventure of Psyche Spiegel 2:
The defining thing for me that sets great sci-fi ahead of the rest of sci-fi is when they take the time to delve into the technology of the setting, examine the benefits and problems of it, and really lead you to question whether that technology is worthwhile or not. (Ghost in the Shell is the shiny golden god of this in my book) They did a great job setting that up in this episode. I was quite pleased, and I'm very excited for this going forward. I'm worried grizzled veteran enforcer is going to die one day before his retirement though...
Alternatively, delving into really stellar characters is another way to have great sci-fi (Cowboy Bebop, Firefly). And if you ever get both, it's a real treat (Summer Wars really excelled here for the amount of time a movie lasts. Steins;Gate managed an exceptional balance between the two, although not really exceeding the individual winners previously listed)
AnnihiIating Wrote:Also, i hate when fight scenes are cut short
It only serves to make him look even cooler though.
*Cue dramatic music and sword-variant of a You Are Already Dead moment*
「次は誰かな?」
-> Single coolest scene in this entire season of SAO.
Anyway, since they're avoiding internal monologues for the most part, the viewers have no idea why Lyfa's not using her wings while the Salamanders are (she's out of flight time), though it's still guessable.
