I didn't even know hosanna was banned.

I'm pretty sure it was self-imposed.
It doesn't really matter. I'm inclined just to say watch Railgun because it's better, not to mention that's the order in which they were produced.
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!
I'm enjoying Haganai NEXT the most, but it's a sequel, so it'd depend on whether you liked the first season.

Nah, thunder thighs for faster movement.
...what?
...that sort of works.
Indeed.

Syrinx is watching Utena.
From the New World is pretty good.
Besides that...
There were a few action scenes that I thought worked well, but it's definitely true that everything around it is, at best, forgettable. As in, if I'm not explicitly reminded, I tend to forget I saw this movie. All the weak stuff probably bothered me less because I barely understood things anyway.
Thinking back to how all the side characters were handled, I guess I should have seen Psycho-Pass coming, huh?
Here we go again...So I just started watching this Kaibutsu anime as ordered.
And since I'm not fluent in Japanese I just want to ask...
DID HE REALLY JUST SAY THIS SHIT?
In a comic written for women by a woman, in a culture in which the word "rape" (not the concept, but the word itself) is not treated as a sacred cow, a character can say a movie bad-guy-sounding line using that word, and it will come off as comedic in the same manner as if he had said, "Make one peep and I pop a cap in yo ass."

Specs =/= physical characteristics. The Vert-Noire gap is proof enough.
Precisely.
Record of Lodoss War 13
Such a freaking awesome finale. Bad guy vs bad guy. Dragons fighting in the sky. Zombie werewolves. Back to back heroes. Spock gets his face split in two and keeps on going. Deed's super sexy evil sacrifice dress. Parn going totally and completely awesome mode. Blood werewolf demons. A big ol' heroic finale and a literal ride into the sunset.
Freaking awesome way to finish the show.
He features in a pretty amazing scene later on - you'll know when you get to it: it's as startling and confrontational as you'd expect.
Translation: I don't mean to be lewd, but wouldn't [the anthropomorphic representation of] Playstation [in Hyperdimension Neptunia] have big breasts and boobs, since we're all fixated on its 8GB of GDDR5 RAM?

Being Dera is suffering. There was lots of Kanna this episode, which is nothing but a great thing.

You just aren't enlightened enough to appreciate the character chemistry in Strike Witches.
like he said.
Its not as fun when we can understand what Novid is saying.
Anyway,
Futari Wa Precure 29
Nagisa and Honoka go to a summer festival. They wear yukatas.
Honoka in a yukata. Yes this episode was awesome.
Oh and villain #3 showed up.
I want a plush of Porun so bad. I would hug it daily.

You're a good person, I want you to know this.
Hyperneptunia has always been one of those things I kind of want to get into because the gaming industry lolz seems like they could potentially be awesome but everything I hear about the delivery always makes me think 'huh'
Also, obviously, very Japanese-gaming industry focused and I don't really know shit about it

Rin-Ne no Lagrange 12
I held it together until she couldn't finish her "Maru". Then I sniffled a bit. Rinne no Lagrange is the heartwarming tale of giant robots, lesbians, and flowers. Pandering was utterly shameless, but the story was charming to the point I didn't care. Moid is definitely up to something sinister, though.
Should I watch Season 2?
Aw heck, I'm gonna watch Season 2.

Please don't.
Fully agreed. the show does not pander it is just super genuine and one of the most charming anime since Aishiteruze baby.
He survived gundam AGE. That show will be a treat by comparison.

Ok start but holy shit Aoi has the worst voice I have ever heard.

I do find it odd that she is the only character whose voice doesnt change between the past and present.

Seriously Even if season 2 is what it is there are still some good points within.
And his comments will be fun to read too.

I ignored it because I thought it was just for the past.
she started talking in the present, my god.
No, just watch the OVA.
Is it that bad? I wanna know if Lan and Muginami come back!
And at the same time I didn't survive Rah Xephon. Not sure what this says about me anymore.
I think the best thing to say here is that I enjoyed parts of Gundam SEED Destiny, so I should be able to take this in stride. Even if my rule of thumb is that Mecha sequels are rarely as good as their progenitors.

Everyone is so nice in this show. It's a really heartwarming kinda feeling. That Mamoru is voiced by Ash does not decrease how much I feel taken back to the safe world of my childhood by this show. Seizure lights are bad, but otherwise, it's sort of refreshing after all the BUUUUH GRIM DARK GRITTY REAL of Gundam and so many other Mecha shows.

Awesome episode, up there with 3 and 6 for me. The gags with the music were hilarious, I wasn't expecting something like that lol.
I think Choi has normalized a bit compared to her introduction, she wasn't as played up this time even if a lot of the focus went into her.
The direction is as expected from Takemoto, superb comedic timing and nice framing throughout. I liked the dinner scene and the walking to school part.
This show has been great since the so-so episode 5, hoping episode 9 will be up to par.

You're welcome to give it a go, but to me S2 was an entirely different anime. So entirely uninteresting I don't remember most of it.

I would love it if they did that.
I won't get my hopes up, though. Being an English speaking Conan fan is suffering.
FUNimation remembering they have Conan? It will probably lead to nothing, though.
Pretty much. As you'll quickly realize, stereotypes are all over the place in this series, and it's the best kind of hilarious.
Truly. The lengths I'd go to get more of it localized... The acts I would commit. Unspeakable acts.
Do it.

It's too bad that the secondhand clothing experience is difficult to replicate on screen--the lingering smell you try to ignore, the missing buttons, "abandoned" wallets below the aisles and the odd cigarette butt left in the pockets. Not to mention the almost quixotic quest for That One Shirt.
It's odd but, being a beneficiary of an intensely Southwestern education it was hard to ignore the unfortunate implications of stuffing Choi into the school uniform. Cue flashbacks of long rambling essays about cultural appropriation and the loss of societal identity as young Navajo girls suffered silently in distant boarding schools, their skin color marking them out as alien in some white-Eastern setting.

Great episode, though. The best since 3 and 6, and the funniest one so far. Lovely timing, and that transition halfway through where Beethoven kicks in was good stuff. Weirdly ironic that Takemoto's excellent episode follows Ishihara's rather lackluster effort.
Could they be more adorable? I'm glad there was a bit more focus on Kanna this episode.
