For context on the latest Korra ep, you should read http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post/103173899927/a-few-preemptive-words-about-episode-408 but basically the TL;DR is that Nick cut their budget, so they had to either let half the team go, or make a clips show, which is so insanely retarded, it makes me wonder if Nick doesn't just want to be hated. At least they made it into something fun, so I'm not too bothered.

Mashiroiro Symphony: The Color of Lovers 7/10. Good enough, romance, harem and school. For once he picks a girl and sticks with her, she doesn't die and shit like that, so pretty standard but can be overly dramatic about small shit. Kind of a random pick up in between other stuff but i think it's prefect for just that, a filler that's a slightly lighthearted series with some actual depth.

Nick doesn't know a good thing if it jammed it's cock in Nick's head honcho's mouth's.

Good on the creators for not getting rid of people. And as a clips episode, it was done pretty well. If they ever get back into the Avatar franchise, maybe Cartoon Network or another station can pick them up, as Nickelodeon is too preoccupied with the latest Spongebob adventure where he annoys someone.

While this wasn't as good as Ember Island Players, they really do have a knack for writing these kinds of episodes in a good way, so even if you're binge watching, you might not want to skip them (Ember Island more so than Remembrance though...)

Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo - Dropped @ Episode 3 - (6/10):
Honestly, the fanservice is kinda killing it for me. The world wasn't as interesting as I initially thought, the story is pretty weak, and so are the characters, so when you mix all that together, and your final effort is to just cram as much fanservice into your shit series as you possibly can, then you're not gonna get very far... The concept of it all, what with the discrimination between Norma and the others could've been very interesting, had it been executed better, or simply written into a better story, but as is, that's not the case, so I'm dropping this.

Yea, it's really at the level where it's just plain stupid.

Also, Parasyte is really starting to become intense now, and at this point, I also think it may have one of the best (if not the best) ED of the season.

Just when I thought Akame ga Kill couldn't get worse about killing off my favorite characters, episode 21 happens...

I don't know, I (personally) think it's one of the better action-shounens to air in a while now. It's got a very good MC, who's funny, and charismatic and all that shit, but he's not some wimp who backs down at the first sign of danger, even though it's his dream to be a hero; it's got very likeable characters who, might I add, they're not afraid to just throw to the curb and kill off instantly, because fuck you for liking a character. Additionally, the imperial arms are a pretty cool concept, I think. I dunno, I think it's just a very nice contrast to all the other generic shit we get (even if it does share a lot of generic tropes).

In fact, I'd even go as far as to argue that this season is even better than fall season, meaning F/SN also probably takes the spot for AotS from A.Z.

To each their own, though. I just personally love when they actually do kill off characters, and don't keep them around (like certain other long-running examples).

Latest episode of Grisaia no Kajitsu, pretty good, and then we get a "Holy shit!" ending/cliffhanger to it, as well as some insight to Yuuji's past. And for once, Yuuji was visibly shocked.

I guess the character killing is fine, it's still pretty shonen where they have to talk every fucking fight and explain what the fuck they are doing. Look at this stick, if i shove this up my butt I'l become erect and kill you with my stiffy, NO i wont let you do that since this medium size glass is powerful enough to contain about 1 and 1/4 Dl of milk, thus I'l defeat you with the power of calcium. Whilst some girl from a flashback says that calcium is good for you and that you can do it.


There are plenty of things that makes me dislike it, i'm currently only finishing it since it's drawing close to an end. IF we are talking about long runners like One shit or bleach, yea i guess, Naruto was also that way for a bit but they removed many characters as well.

So, could anyone explain to me what the appeal of animes is? It's just a cartoon with guys who look like girls and they all talk in high-pitched german voices, also screaming after they swing their maces, warhammers and such.
