Oh man it's been a while since I posted in the anime topic.

But! I finally finished Death Note.

The show really plummeted after the half-way point. It was still good though. Thought provoking anyway.

The sad thing about Working 2 next season is that it'll be a disappointment right off the bat since theres no way they can replicate the godly OP from the original season. Thats up there with Haruhi ED in terms of best OP/EDs in recent years

Though if it ends up with less Inami I think people will forget about the OP not being as good

But I like Inami! It's her dad who should be loathed.

There's always the remote possibility that they'll top themselves with the music... well, a man can dream, dammit >_>

Yeah... not really seeing any actually goal or endgame for Tsukishima. Still, I'm enjoying his trolling for more than Aizen's, so I guess there's that.

Okay I'm reading some of the little preview texts for the new animes and like

Busou Shinki Moon Angel
"Based on Konami's line of armed action figures"...

Boku was Tomodachi ga Sukunai
"a half British half Japanese transfer student whose delinquent like blonde hair scares people."

Ben To
"fierce no holds barred supermarket survival battle for half price bentou."

oh god.

Boku wa Tomodachi will be one of the big hits next season, btw. Same artist as Denpa and based on one of the top 5 selling light novel series in Japan the last 2 years.

Anyway, it's not like popular LN guarantees popular anime. Moshidora and Bakatest were much more popular than their adaptations. Same with LoLH.

Should be at least Denpa level, though likely more in the West since I've seen far more talk about the novels of BokuTomo that I ever did of Denpa before that anime aired.

Updates

Ao no Exorcist EP15
Man, the reveal at episode 15? I thought it would be later on if at all.

Hanasaku Iroha EP17
An "okay" episode. Nothing special really, except focusing on like two of the worst characters.

Ikoku Meiro no Croisée EP4
First, Claude Claudel is the best name ever. Good episode.

Kamisama Dolls EP4
How come nothing seems to happen in this show until like the very end of the episodes?

Nichijou EP17
This episode was amazing, the crow part was good. But the card tower part, terrific.

Steins;Gate EP17
I thought the whole Darkness gang or whatever thing was kind of dumb, but the thing about Cat girl and her dad. What a terrible mess. Decent episode.

Tiger & Bunny EP17
It'll be interesting how they close things out now. To be fair I don't want Tiger to lose his powers

Yuru Yuri EP4
Akaaariiiinnnnnn

yeah, it's especially weird since it's a josei series. I didn't think edwardsdv was the target audience for those lmao

anyway, I got bored of not watching airing shows so I caught up on spring ones and have a backlog of 33 summer episodes to catch up on hell yeah

Bleh at Penguindrum this week, go figure that the episode without SURVIVAL STRATEGY turns out to be the worst one so far.
Though WTF at that ending.

--
No need for words,
Just cast Luminaire and be done with it.

alright stuff I've watched so far

Baka Test 2 - Just as good as the first season. The part with Hideyoshi on the beach was one of the funniest moments and the series. Plus, Minami doesn't annoy me anymore lmao

Croisee - I like this a lot. Good characters, nice atmosphere, and I find the stuff on the cultural differences pretty neat.

Yuru Yuri - Pretty good, Kyoko is hilarious and is obviously the best part of the show.

Kamisama Dolls - only watched two episodes but it's alright but not great. Not much to comment on for some reason. >_> Maybe it will get better in the next episodes were see

--
(1)Jesus Christ (Bible) - 14 (16)GANON1025 (Board 8-) - 10 Never forget.

More updates Spoilers

Everything here is an EP4

Mawaru Penguindrum
I liked this episode because the revelation at the end made you go "oh...crap". Also, that skunk. The best part of the entire episode through was when Ringo was like falling in the water and the penguin is swimming down looking like it's gonna save her... but then it gets a fish and goes away.

Mayo Chiki!
A little overdramatic, from what I understand in the manga he gets hit by a car or something. I mean, all he did was get a cold. WTF. Also, yet another anime character fights a bear. The best part was when the bear said well... BEAR!

Usagi Drop
This was a really good episode for the show. It progressed the plot and both characters and remained entertaining throughout.

NO.6
Okay, Sion is quickly becoming one of the WORST characters in the entire season. He's comparable to the Clain (Fractale), which is also the show that NO.6 is probably going to turn into (only with more Yaoi). Also, dog lady is gonna kill rat for talking bad about her mom, wut?

The iDOLM@STER
Kind of a meh episode. The frog thing was funny, and I mean cooking. But Chihaya is a pretty lame character, even though the ED was so sad. Here's hoping they spotlight a good character next episode.

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni!
Probably the best episode of any show this week. First half was pretty good, but the second half was amazing.

Week 4 rankings coming once I see memochou.

--
Chrono1219

alright so I watched the first episode and half of the second of Penguindrum (only half because I wanted to watch some pro wrestling obviously)

Anyway, I don't really "get" it at all. I've seen people say it has a lot of symbolism and I get that impression but I don't have any idea what it means. The premise messes with my suspension of disbelief too which sucks. At least the art and stuff is awesome. Does anyone want to enlighten me on what any of the stuff symbolizes? Does it become more clear later? answer now or put up with 20 more weeks of whining
