it felt like a waste of time, it pretty much had this pointless build up to something that could have been done in the last 2 minutes of the tv series if they wanted to.
And I guess the episode I saw was mislabled, I think weâre talking about different eps, gonna download another episode 7 and see what going on. Hoefully itâs not as bad as you say, Iâve been liking the show.
Mirai Nikki OVA was very underwhelming. The payoff for what it was trying to do just wasnât worth the amount of time that we had to wait for it. If it had came out, say a little after the end of the series when it still fairly fresh, I probably wouldâve felt otherwise. I didnât want to say anything at first so I could see what you all really thought about it lol
Fate/Kaleid #7
1st half of the episode wouldâve busted Kromoâs nut from sheer service overload. 2nd half just shat on everything Illyaâs been trying to do throughout the whole series, so much for that friendship lol
Looks like Berserker is last one left now.
I keep watching Gatchaman Crowds because I want to know if there will be some pay off with the main character. I do like the main villain mostly because the voice actor does an awesome job trolling the main characters.
I want to see peopleâs reaction to the next episode of SnK. Shitâs going to get real in the next few episodes. I think there might be one thing that could potentially bother me next episode but I donât want to go any further due to manga related spoilers.
Watched the Fafner movie over the weekend and thought it was pretty good, especially for a continuation of the tv series. It was kind of difficult trying to remember what happened in the tv series considering how long itâs been but managed to remember the key points in the last 2 episodes and the oav. There was a few pacing issues and a couple of questions as the movie didnât really have an after math so not sure what happened to some characters. Pretty glad there will be a full 26 episode season later this year but also leaves me kind of worried for the characters because fafner has no qualms about killing characters.

[]Yajiro recalls his past from the time before he became a frog, citing that he was known in Kyoto as the tanuki with the least motivation, unless it involved drinking.
[]The âimportant appointmentâ of Soichiroâs, was a secret consultation with Yajiro, who was dealing with a troublesome problem: having affection for Kaisei, who was betrothed to his younger brother, Yasaburo. Yajiro decides to put some distance between himself and the family, but Soichiro talks him out of it and offers to help out in some form, besides stating his thoughts about family bonds. After some indulgent drinking, the duo partakes in a game of a traveling railway through the neighborhoods and somewhat causing a mild ruckus: Soichiro as the passenger and Yajiro as the âtransportation.â That night was the last time the duo partook in the game.
[]Soichiro doesnât return for two nights. On the second night, the Shimogamoâs learn about Soichiroâs fate at the hands of the Friday Fellows. Yajiro takes the news hard as he feels directly responsible for what happened, prompting him to leave his life as a tanuki and his family behind, ending up as a frog that resides in a well.
[]Having remembered Akadamaâs situation, Yasaburo offers to see to him while Yaichiro goes home. On the way back to the Professorâs house, the topic of Kaisei comes up, who apparently has gifted Akadama with a new coat, besides visits, when Yasaburo was off in Osaka.
[]After Yasaburo recalls a past memory of a moment between himself and his father, the topic then shifts to Soichiro and Akadama offers his thoughts on meeting oneâs end in life, highlighting the end for tanuki (hot pot) and an end for tengu (loss of flight/falling from the sky). Akadama then tells Yasaburo that Yajiro wasnât the last person to see Soichiro - He was. Akadama encounters Soichiroâs âpassingâ, where the two talk like friends for one last time, before Soichiro asks Akadama to look after Yasaburo, who seemingly takes after his father.
[]After having seen Akadama back to his home, Yasaburo returns to his and is greeted by Mother, who is informed on the events of the evening, and of the past, as well. âUnderstandingâ is a theme of the conversation here as Mother understands why Yajiro is holed up in a well, as does Yaichiro.
[*]Yasaburo offers his thoughts on Soichiroâs passing and of his bloodline traits passed down to the brothers: Yaichiro inherited only his sense of responsibility, Yajiro inherited only his easy-going personality, Yashiro inherited only his innocence, and Yasaburo inherited only his idiocy. The bonds that hold the brothers together are that of Motherâs love for them, and of the parting of their great father.

Didnât expect Yajiroâs problem to be that.
The âgameâ seems to be a pretty fun activity.
Thereâs Akadama for the break in mood.
lol @ the triple take in regards to oppai by Akadama, Yasaburo, and the carriage doll.
Akadama putting oneâs end in perspective with his own experience was interesting moment of sympathy shown by him.
Departures do bring people together.
Next weekâs episode appears to feature Kaisei, so things should be quite interesting.

[]Alis spends some time shooting a basketball around. Surprisingly enough, every shot that he takes goes into the basketball hoop.
[]The group of students hold a meeting in the clock tower to discuss who will escape from the academy. Most of them are plan to leave/escape, but Tanya and Mimi/Meme are reluctant to follow the others due to family-related situations in the outside world. When Ai gives a small speech about dreams, Tanya is affected by Aiâs âpresenceâ, which causes her to leave the meeting.
[]Ai later meets up with Tanya and the two of them talk about their past-lives outside of the academy. Elsewhere, Alis and Dee have a brief convo about Ai.
[]When the group meets up again, it appears that the time to leave has been set. Everyone at the meeing, including Mimi/Meme (and Momo), are all in agreement about leaving, except for Tanya, who isnât present and is unsure in her position/stance. Ai asks the others to postpone the departure for a day so that she can have another chance to talk to Tanya. Her request is granted. Later that night, Ai somewhat gets her chance to talk to Tanya, who remains silent, and tells her of the departure time.
[]The next day in the clock tower, Alis is recalling a memory of a past event, before Ai appears and interrupts the moment. When Ai speaks about having some doubt about her dream to save the world, Alis responds by saying he also wants to save the world - through itâs destruction. Alis explains his POV on the subject, illustrating a concept of there being âtwoâ worlds, along with examples: one world that is âobjectiveâ, and one world that is âsubjectiveâ.
[]The time for the group to leave arrives, and as the group (sans Tanya) starts making their way through the underground escape path, Ai says that sheâll stay behind and make her escape later - with Tanya. Tanya suddenly appears, having decided to also escape from the academy, as well.
[]As the group emerges outside the academy walls, Magiita appears from the gate entryway and tells the group to return inside, but they refuse the offer. Magitta draws a revolver and fires off a volley of shots⌠but they are all nullified by Alis, who draws a firearm and responds with gunfire of his own. After Magiita makes a remark about Alisâ ability (perfect aim), she withdraws into the academy as the gates close behind her. A manâs voice is then heard, calling out to Ai. Yuri has arrived at the academy with the van.
[]While Ai, Yuri, and the group from the academy is traveling, Ai asks Yuri about Scar, who isnât present. Yuri replies and says that he had left her behindâŚ

What is Run doing during the meeting?
Alisâ memory of that past event likely has some significant meaning.
The âtwoâ world concept is interesting.
So thatâs Alisâ ability: perfect aim. He also has a nickname as well.
I wonder what happened during Aiâs absence from her group, which apparently caused Yuri to leave Scar behind.
1st chapter of the Negima sequel UQ Holder is out. Mangastream doesnât know how to scanlate Akamatsu mangas. You have to upload them wallpaper size so you can read those small ass words.
Also, Index NT8 is out and translated chapters are being uploaded to baka-tsuki gradually.
Thought UQ was a decent first chapter. Feels more battle manga style but itâs only one chapter so who knows.
Biorg Trinity has also started to get translated. This is Oh!Greatâs new manga and the art does not disappoint. Though the storytelling looks like it just decided to start at ridiculous.
Stopped watching that shit after the second episode. I was extremely disappointed when the characters, trapped inside a virtual reality with their real lives constantly in extreme peril, began acting like a-typical Anime characters instead of actual people. Threw out any chances of psychological intrigue and semi-mature themes I considered the series would have. I shut it off promptly when the fodder started getting salty that brotag was a BETA Tester. Ugh.
And, because I feel it needs to be stated again, itâd be great if you guys could give Nanatsu no Taizai some love. Itâs relatively new, but itâs pretty damn amazing and is definitely a gem worthy of checking out. And the protag is a baws.
