From the New World - Episode 21
Hmmmm.... I'll say from a general stand point, this is probably the worst episode in this arc so far. Last week's episode might have had direction and storyboarding issues, but it was also very interesting and there were some really visually creative scenes. This week was a really standard episode with nothing of note in terms of visuals, and the direction and production in general just seems so lackluster. Most of the information presented in this episode are also confirmation of things which were already strongly hinted at previously, so the narrative doesn't move much either. I had some issues with the way they decided to present parts of the episode too. The non-linear aspect of their journey to the temple was unnecessary and poor executed, and would have been more compelling had it been done normally.
Oh well, only 4 more episodes to go. Probably can't get too bad at this point!

I was just comparing it to episode 15. This is such a vast improvement. No doubt it's what Part 3 will look like.

Most importantly is one could tell what the fuck was happening this time around.
When you say "moving", does that imply there's actually animation in the show now?
There was!
I like that my little suggestion was taken up. Saved me from colouring in a bit of Akari artwork (yes, I really would have done that)
Little known fact: I was the one that stole his glasses.
Well that's Psycho Pass for ya.
Yep, it was pretty amazing. Almost couldn't believe my eyes!When you say "moving", does that imply there's actually animation in the show now?

Not only did this episode absolutely nail its emotional content (as the series has all along), but there was some actual action. And a lot of animation. And it was done pretty damn well. If I knew how to make .gifs, I'd link to some parts of the primary fight in this episode.

Should I be hopeful that it will carry until the end of the season?
From the New World 21
Uh, kinda shitty. I thought the scheduling problems were a thing of the past with this show, but they appear again in full force!
Also I thought the storyboard was pretty weak, strange coming from the guy who did the awesome eps 9 and 17. Besides the annoying over 9000 variations of
, it lacked power, particularly in the scene where
, and as already said, the whole part of them going to the temple was bad and again felt very irrelevant.
This episode was not good at all in my books, except for the thing about
. I wasn't expecting that at all, and it was even foreshadowed since the first arc and all!
So, here's to the show recovering for the next episode.

While the site was down I took the opportunity to read the rest of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and I sorely sorely need a second season. Apparently we'll be getting an OVA with the 12th and final volume that releases in the summer, and it'd be a perfect length for a second cour as well, but...
I also was thinking about something regarding how much violence is visited on male leads in other rom-coms (Hell, I think Ryuji gets hit by Taiga - physical blows, anyway - around three or four times in the first volume of Toradora), but I do think it's probably not directly comparable since while Tonari takes Haru's occasional stupid bullshit somewhat seriously it's still in a kinda weird place with it.

One of the best episodes from the season.
Oh. I thought this was a pile of unsold copies at first glance.
Thank you ext. I was browsing TVTropes forums while waiting for gaf to return and was getting annoyed at people from three years back, so getting something like this perks my spirits somewhat.
I was seeing people saying it exemplified everything wrong with shoujo at the time, which I think is a pretty weird complaint. Toradora looks kinda generic - hell, I avoided it for a couple of years on the assumption it was yet another tsundere boring-ass romcom - but the moment I hit that lightpole scene I knew there was something special about this show.
There are legit complaints about it, especially how crazy-paced the third act of the series and the overall ending is
especially the melodramatic running-away-from-home thing and Taiga's decision to take off to deal with off-screen, un-explained family complications for close to an in-story year
I'm interested to see if the manga will follow the light novels closer; Seven Sea's translation job is excellent so far, but releases are slow. :T
I don't live in Japan.

Sgt. Keroro Episode 206 or "A Keronian never changes it's colour...until now"
So I managed to find a bunch of Keroro episodes from Season 5 subbed as a subber recently came back to sub Keroro again, hopefully all of this great anime will be subbed eventually.
Part A has the Keroro Platoon change their colours to make a fresh start to the new season, poor Dororo gets mistaken for Keroro multiple times and ends up depressed.
Part B has Dororo come up with an invasion plan using natto. Madness!
Great episode, I loved the 'natto bits for Newtype mobile suits' that Keroro came up with.

I only wish they actually save all the budget for the next fight, I don't want to see CG!
After that I don't care if the rest of episode became sound drama.

For backstory was actually really good and well done. Kid Hyobu is so funny and the ESP Unit is already good. Really dont know what to expect for the fate and what not, but it has been a blast.

Last I saw it was "My Little Bomba". :lolol!
Now what will you do with all those mini ceramic tiles?
It seems a number of anime girls cannot escape from being Jojo-fied!

They got Jojo's waifu and gave her major Acupuncture therapy. He will now never ask to kiss her again.
*cries into pillow*
The world is too cruel, too cruel. I can only hope it boosted manga sales enough where they'd want to take a risk or some other crazy reason

Huh. That's weird. Attempting to get in-between an antagonist's plans should usually end with them falling in love with you.
Other notable bits: Conversing while falling, too many gaudy palette face shots, still animated like a motion comic,
connected by Ripple waves and stray animal cruelty. Amusing note on the last one is that, earlier in the previous episode the antagonist spares a stray dog and in this one Joseph leg sweeps a random cat. Ha!
Spoilers: Trippin'.

Cars also pulled the whole landing he did to avoid hurting a flower.
Fresh is by far the most :wonzo Precure season. If you are keeping tha :wonzo folder it will be huge by the time you're done with the show!
That's nothing to be ashamed of.
Yup, just shock at the number actually being present, I'd say. People likely put in similar numbers to their hobbies but just don't have a time invested counter to make them feel bad.
I've spent more hours than that watching NFL games over the past 4 years.
