If so then

[details=Spoiler] there goes half the reason I wnated to check this out. I really like those 2 character designs.

Heh that’s why i was going to check it out to.

those designs do look really good, but nothing else about that anime interests me

I seen cooler designs.

watching shows with others on a stream is fun. I’m watching Nichijou with friends, it’s hilarious.

shoulda mentioend how they randomly started singing during mecha fights mack
it is a pretty gay show

Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne
is like a less worse show this season but if you like any kind of plot at all u are fuckin out of luck

singing during fights won the war in macross 7
i don’t see how that is random

re: devastator

Michael Bay’s Suite Precure

Spoiler

Kanade is the red one, so yeah she dies. Pretty sure the blue one, Tsubasa, dies too

[details=Spoiler]Well aint that some shit. Guess I’ll still give it a watch since I already downloaded it. I’m glad you posted about it though cause had I gone and watched it not knowing about this shit I probably would have been pretty pissed.

Don’t care so much about the Bandai thing, fools were trying to sell series in 3 volumes of just the basic DVDs at £45 a pop per volume over here whilst Funimation were giving us whole series, sometimes even with both the Blu-rays and DVDs included for £30 a pop right off the bat, and NISA were doing half a series for around £40-£50 (that’s including shipping out of the US) with Blu-rays, DVDs and an artbook, heres hoping that they sell off the licences for the shows they’ve had to cancel rather than just squatting on them in case they ever decide to get back into DVD releases.

Since Bandai has nothing to do with the uS Madoka releases (AFAIK), I don’t really care. It’s unfortunate to see US licensing branches go down though.

Symphogear #1

Spoiler

Someone at Statelight is a Precure fan.

I liked how crazy Hibiki looked after she got into her Symphogear right at the end. Should we expect some carnage the next episode? Sure hope so. Also, lol at the flashy title cards for each move.

Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki #1

Spoiler

Or Roundcat: The Anime.

Yeah, I’d like to know that too.
As evident from the screencap, this is Moe Sato, our main human character.

It was love at first sight. Or snooze, rather.

http://i.imgur.com/gzsuM.jpg

A look of curiosity envelops the creature.

Gonna take you home like Rena Ryuugu

Nope, she’ll still use him as a pillow and sleep on the street instead.

Now we meet the family. First, the younger brother, Hide.

http://i.imgur.com/kuHrh.jpg

Guess he’s allergic to hairballs.

Then the father, Sato, voiced by Akira Kamiya.

Hide is such a bully.

But channeling the power of Kenshiro, Sato disciplines his son in treating the creature with further respect.

Is this a scornful look of gratitude I see?

Next we see more of Poyo’s qualities, like having super speed. (And almost pulling off a Neco Arc and firing a beam off his eyes.)

And able to leap high onto bookshelves

http://i.imgur.com/KunCh.jpg

And…being easily painted on!

http://i.imgur.com/p496f.jpg

One thing’s for sure, though, the ladies sure do love him.

http://i.imgur.com/OYXVA.jpg

…except for Moe who still uses him as a pillow. Best main character ever.

http://i.imgur.com/i8s7r.jpg

But then, suddenly this happens.

http://i.imgur.com/DPxLt.jpg

Now this is a series tone shift I haven’t expected. Should be good, right?

http://i.imgur.com/a8vyE.jpg

Serves him right, the prick.

http://i.imgur.com/8MkWO.jpg

Oh, it was a dream? Man, what a tease!

…Yeah, I’m not sure if I’m going to do more of these image dump spoilers. I’ll still watch the show for Old Kenshiro and Roundcatchu, though.

Oh yeah, heads up kenu, Milky Holmes S2 #1 finally got subbed.

Symphogear…[details=Spoiler]gonna keep watching mainly because people seem to just die horribly. Noise are fucking generic looking and that’s my biggest gripe with the show. Looks like it’s gonna be an overly violent show as well. Also the other girl isn’t dead[/details]

Poyopoyo is cute.

Kill me baby is retarded. Not sure if I like it yet but i’m pretty sure I’ll keep watching it because I like watching retarded stuff

Anime model is idiotic.

Kill Me Baby was kinda retarded and not funny at the same time. Might give it another ep.

Guess I gotta get my hopes up for Moe Space Pirates.

NISEMONOGETARI HAS BEEN SUBBED!!!

Oh yes Nisemonogatari episode 1 is out

lol beaten my mere seconds.

I liked Symphogear. Yeah the plot hasn’t been fully established but it seems rather apparent that they were trying to get the setting and premise down before going into the story. It had actual action and it has a bleak tone because of how the episode began. There’s some gripes that I have with the show including trolling me with Kanade, but I’ve seen worse shows and what I’ve seen so far I;ll take it for what it is for now cause managed to present its hook in a way that actually makes me want to watch the next episode to see where it will end up.

Space Pirates was pretty boring. Like there was nothing happening till the last two minutes of the episode. Get some events going already. Do stuff. Fire Chiaki Omigawa.

High School DxD was pretty lame. I read some of the manga (Light novel is the source material) before time and it was pretty boring. But show is aggressively lame There’s also crazy fanservice in this show. Flailing breasts everywhere.

lmao nisemono with references already? <3

The Moeist Space Pirates You Know ep 1

[details=Spoiler]FEMALE JAM PROJECT
POTENTIAL BEING THROWN AROUND EVERYWHERE
MOE SPACE PIRATES
26 EPISODES
FEMALE CAPTAIN HARLOCK[/details]

Not much happened but I’m super excited for it.

Nisemono is gettin got!

Nisemonogatari 1: The usual bakemonogatari greatness, liking the OP as well.
HIgh School DxD 1: Tits with no lens flare, nuff said.
Symphogear 1: I expected this to be alot lighter from the synopsis I read about a week ago but it’s not. We got fools getting killed left and right. I’m actually curious to see where this series is headed.

Time for some Milky Holmes. It’ll probably be awful like the first season but as long as we get more Arsene I can deal with it.
