So, I've been watching Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex. The Major is indeed as awesome as advertised. The Laughing Man is also pretty awesome.

One little pet peeve: they're wildly inconsistent about using their internal communicators. Specifically, they don't always use them when they're sneaking around and speak aloud instead.

See?
If stuff like that is the only negative thing you can bring up about someting, you know you have found something good.
That is complaining on a higher level! ^^

Good for you to finally watch it.
Did you get the Version with the Tachikoma Days?

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Wed Mar 27, 2013 11:48 pm

ok, Girls und Panzer finished.
i still hate the series as a whole, there was just one scene i liked in the entirety of it:

and now with episode 24, sakurasou no pet no kanojo has also finished.
i still say 23 would have made the better ending, but 24 was funny again and promises a season 2, so yay?

Episode 46 of Zettai Karen Children, a notebook appears which causes anything written in it to become true (but not really major things... whatever that means).

So the entire episode is an elaborate deathnote parody.

The first thing someone writes in the book, just to test it, is "This guy dies of a heart attack at this time."

Then the animation style keeps cutting to deathnote closeups of their faces, and the animation style slowly changes more and more to mimic deathnote style. Pieces of the notebook are torn out and written on:

1) While someone is eating potato chips.
2) A pop out pocket in the wrist watch.

They do the extended flourish writing.

Great times.

That's pretty awesome. There are surprisingly few Deathnote parodies out there.

And there we go, Vividred final operation is up. I liked it very much. A lovely almost-ending. And then another brief "Can we just have the camera follow Akane's ass for a while?" scene, linking to the perfect ending.

And the missile-shooting and ship-exploding bit looked pretty cool as well. I have to say, I do like what's happening in the anime that have that extra effort put in these days - I didn't think HD would make a difference for it, but it turns out I was delightfully wrong.

Didn't liked Vividred, it was just too scripted.

Haganai Next showed me the beauty of Shiguma Rika. New waifu acquired!

Senran Kagura is over, i got all the episodes and started with 4th, but... this fanservice isn't for me.

Was it the fact that the boobs were a bit too big and bouncing around everywhere, without even having the decency to show nipples?

Or are you part of the demographic that went "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT? SWIMWEAR? IF I WANTED NINJAS IN SWIMSUITS I'D WATCH FUCKING MIZUGI NO KANOJO!"?

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Fri Mar 29, 2013 12:13 pm

thanks for the headsup in terms of vividerp and meat next, gonna load these right now!

Tomodachi ga sukunai Next gets an 8.5:10 from me, because that's not really an ending in my eyes. But they lampshaded the complete series in the end.
Sakurasou no pet no kanojo gets a 9.5/10 from me, because the 23rd episode would have made a better ending than episode 24, but 24 was funny again.
Girls und Panzer only gets a 5.5/10 from me, because i really don't like that series. the only saving grace for the end was the actually smart tactics employed.
Robotics;Notes gets a clean 10/10 from me. i wish there were rumours about a second season, but that seems not to be the case here sadly <.<
Vividerp Operation gets an 8.5 from me too, because the ending was too obvious, but the execution was done so very beautyfull.

So, having completed Baccano!, the club is now watching Sankarea, which centers on the cree- not counting Baccano!, the cree- second creepiest person in any of the shows. His cat got hit by a car, so he went all Herbert West with a damaged notebook on revivification. It was actually not the sort of complete disaster normally associated with randomly substituting ingredients in revivification potions. Memories and intelligence apparently return intact. Appearance not so much, but again, second-creepiest person. Creepiest person in the show is the love interest's dad, who is making a determined effort to dethrone Ladd Russo as creepiest person in any of the club's shows.

Blue Exorcist Episode 15: Rin flips out! Also, once again a test intended to demonstrate the value of teamwork has some people totally pull it off completely solo. Different people this time, though.

Moretsu pirates: "What does this button do?" Hurried manual writing is involved.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Sat Mar 30, 2013 9:22 am

Moretsu Pirates is still sublime ^^

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Sat Mar 30, 2013 9:42 am

Season 2 of Freezing! has been confirmed. I am already sold just on that.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Sat Mar 30, 2013 9:54 am

Chuunibyou gets a second season too!
I am so gonna watch that one!

Cat Planet Cuties:
Silly Fanservice Galore with SciFi Harem Theme.
Must see ^^

Atmo · Post by **Atmo** » Mon Apr 01, 2013 2:55 pm

Date a Live seen.

Date a Live dropped.

I didn't have such a huge disappointment since Muv Luv.

And some decent action, when it bothers.

The little robots are adorable. I liked the John Woo shoutout bot, and how doves would pop into the air around him when he opened up with the dual-wielding pistols.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Tue Apr 02, 2013 8:28 pm

Yes, it is silly as much as it's fan service.
A really good mix and SciFi Plot to boot!
I have to say, Cat Planet Cuties was my surprise success this season.

Furthermore:
Love!Live! School Idol Project has ended with Episode 13.
It was a good ending too.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Sun Apr 07, 2013 9:22 pm

Ok, Nyarlathotep is still cute and silly, all is good ^^

Watched a bit of Senran Kagura, and I gotta say, I think they might be. Or maybe it's more of a shape thing. I don't really understand how my brain separates drawings into the "Boobs" and "Smuggled Grapefruit" piles, but apparently this show gives it problems in that area.

So I just watched the first episode of Yuyushiki, it's basically your iso standard 4koma => slice of life anime. What stood out to me was I recognized two of the lead seiyuu because both of them were also in Yuru Yuri.

Oooh, Episdoe 1 of Railfun S is available! *-*

I am really hoping that the #5 Level 5 Esper does not make it to midseason, but somehow I doubt we will be that lucky.

*lies on the ground crying from laughter*
The Hentai Prince and the Stony Kitten < = oh god, it's perfect! *snickers* ^^
