I laugh every time. It's great.

Also tentacles.
oh yeah. those too.
YOSH- "Asasination Classroom" is getting a show in January of next year! Also a...live action movie. Instinctive cautious optimism- GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's great, but s2 is awful.
You said that before. What went so horribly wrong?
Honestly I don't know for sure. Apparently it went totally off the rails compared to the novels, but I haven't read those. It just isn't as fun as the first season. There's some decent stuff, and if you really like s1, watch it for new characters. But it definitely does not compare to s1.
Aaaaaaaaaaand I'm caught up with the One Punch Man web-comic, FUCK I love this series.
I've also started reading "Pygmalio" on Mangareader, an old school fantasy manga and I love love LOVE it! The second monster he fights-
is a giant turtle that shoots flying sea turtles as projectiles! AWESOME!
My Crunchyroll rotation is pretty consistent: Sword Art Online, Aldnoah Zero, Rail Wars. Anything else tossed in is a pleasant bonus.
Also, apparently Log Horizon is returning for the fall season. YESSSSS!

been watching Ikki Tousen on my downtime at work. It gets a ton of flack for being stupid, I like it though, its very much from the same family is Tenge Tengou. I am enjoying the fish out of waterness of hakafu and her English voice actress has done an excellent job. there is much intrigue and a couple decent fights, a bit of schemeing, and a whole lot of comedy. working on episode 7 of season 1 while I wait for my morning to start.
It was amusing... but I believe that a great deal of the flak came from the gratuitous fanservice...
there had been some questions other places what my anime collection looks like. today, I got the first part shot, mind you this is only everything up to G.
I dig Sword Art Online but I think it has a few problems...
- They don't spend enough time during any particular game to really show us much about it.
- There are times when the anime indulges in perversity to appeal to a certain audience. I get WHY, because these same people can be counted on to buy EVERYTHING related to the show, but it's still fucked up shit about underage girls.
- Kirito basically has a harem of girls as his social group, but it's never played for laughs, only as incentive for the girls to bitchsnipe at each other. This is probably more realistic but it's not interesting.
- His living situation with his sister/cousin is REALLY creepy.
- They cut out so much from the books that some stuff doesn't make sense, especially the Laughing Coffin stuff. Season 2 of the anime basically has to flash back to it because they didn't talk about it at all during Season 1.
It's a good show and I'm going to keep watching, but the stuff that is wrong with it is endemic to the anime industry in general right now. It was funny as hell in Highschool of the Dead because they took it to 11 and made it ridiculous, but they keep it subtle enough here that it's just distracting.
I just watched the Space Dandy season finale.
Another skillful work from Shinichiro Watanabe. This season finale took what seemed like a standalone-episode comedy series, created a true continuity that explains some of the nature of the work, then reaches the endzone for one final dash of fun.

Nabeshin is freaking GOD!
I hope it gets a 3rd season, but if it doesn't I'd be okay with it too. A nice open ended cliff-hanger.

Agreed to the nth degree, freakin' sick of that shit.
Tenchi and Kenchi Masaki?An anime protagonist who doesn't have a mental BSOD and catastrophic blood pressure spike the instant a female shows interest in him?
Either that or ANNOYINGLY ignorant of it, LOOKIN' AT YOU BOSSUN! And the other massive percentage of male lead Shonen jump characters!An anime protagonist who doesn't have a mental BSOD and catastrophic blood pressure spike the instant a female shows interest in him?
I just got done watching the latest Sword Art Online episode...
I kind of feel like the sexual stuff they did in this one was to make up for the fetishy tentacle stuff last season. The guy trying to rape/murder Sinon is never portrayed humorously and the entire situation is completely bleak, like it should be. I kind of wish it was portrayed more like this in Anime.

SAO has done a pretty good job of making the freaky, rapey bad guys creepy as hell in my opinion. It always feels like a violation. Too bad it's balanced by weird incesty stuff.
Just re-watched the first story arc (the first 3 episodes) of Captain Future. The dub and the soundtrack are pretty good like I remembered but the editing is just horrible. Nearly all violent scenes are cut and the original 4 episode arc is re cut into a 3 episode arc which means that 25 min of the arc is missing. This creates plot holes when a character dies for no explanation whatsoever or when the scene suddenly jump ahead. I wish they would release an uncut version of the show with subs where the dubs are missing. But the whole soundtrack is good and the characters sound natural like in many older dubs with professional actors who also dub Hollywood movies and TV shows.

New season is starting, including a remake of Fate/Stay Night, which should be great. Second season of Chaika and Gundam Build Fighters, which I am also looking forward to.
