almost everyone coming back and living together. Great that Mashiro ended up with Sorata in the end even though it's unofficial (but it's obvious). Nice to see Ayoama get another chance and that everything moved forward for them. I liked the fact that they had an episode where we got to see almost everyone again to see how things are after Misaki and Jin left. The graduation speech was very moving and really well done, made me tear up lol.

Interesting. well, I didn't expect a ton going in asides from good humour because I enjoy that. I felt like it delivered that and didn't do badly at all on any of the other parts as long as you don't sit there and over analyze it. I also enjoyed the different personalities and how things ended. Well, from what I've read, they've covered about 75% of source material or so in the anime and some of the other 25% are side stories so I doubt we'll get more. I'm actually somewhat ok with how it ended since it ended on a good note and figure that there won't be a second season anytime soon(sales weren't good supposedly). | ||

Personally, I thought the quality was ok. Of course, some parts could've been done better like with some developments or how the story progressed, etc... but I'm not complaining lol. From what I read, seems like the anime changed some things including + Show Spoiler + moving Ayaome from secondary character in LN to a proactive role in the anime so that she was competition to Mashiro when in the LN, it was always determined that Mashiro would end up with Sorata by the end, etc... I would recommend for anyone who's interested to give a couple of episodes a try and then decide from there whether to continue or not. | ||

Resets all romantic development after the airport episode just to keep the stupid love triangle going when its obvious the brown haired chick is never going to win. Dropped at like episode 15 in boredom. | ||

What a silly ep. Why on earth did they introduce the admiralty code now, of all places, when they very clearly skipped it in the last arc? Mental model combat without ships is also pretty lol. And I highly doubt that Iona would be able to withstand such an attack. A direct confrontation between a flagship and a sub isn't exactly balanced. One would also think that Kongou would, y'know, use the rest of her fleet. I can't believe they shifted Iona's joke to somebody else. Why... This is all going to end with Kongou realizing the error of her ways and becoming more human, isn't it. -_- | ||

+ Show Spoiler + That Kaiki shirt micro is too strong. The whole episode seem kind of trolly to me but ultimately quite satisfying. I'm sad that only a few episodes left before season is over though ![]() | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Ive been wondering when we'll see Goto's gf. The only time shes mentioned or heard of is when shes texting him and its always with mass emoticons and shit. Goto doesnt seem to be the guy to date a girl whos that childish, but even then he just smiles at the text with a "Sasuga.." kind of face. Makes me wonder if thats his daughter or something. In the OP hes in a black suit, funeral attire maybe? And hes throwing roses into the ocean. So Im guessing that his wife or girlfriend passed away and hes just left with his daughter. Though it makes me wonder where shes being raised since Goto lives alone in his apartment. The one ep where Flamenco asks him why he joined the Police Force, Goto just kept on saying, "I have my reasons". Could be related to his deceased wife/gf. It all makes so much sense, but Im still not sure. Omfg. This show would be so good. But godamn guillotine gorilla and floating shadow man ruins this shit. | ||

And ofc, he loves dat Senjou-desu, cause who doesnt? amirite. ....uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? | ||

But idk about the battles in their mental model form. I'd say it's more than likely that their powers are reduced by A LOT when being in that form simply because it'd make no sense to be in ship form if that's not the case. You know, huge big things are probably easier to hit with torpedos then small, little girls running around. I wouldn't take that part too serious though, it is after all just a way to give us girls sitting on a beach grilling steak and stuff. Would be hard to do that in their ship form, no? | ||

Watched all of samurai flamenco so far in a bit less than a day. Really enjoyed it. Ending theme is very catchy as well. Also watched Kill la Kill, up to ep 6 atm, I think the style outshines the constant fan service. I like the strong gurren lagann vibes, and if you can get over the sometimes seemingly senseless titillation, it's pretty cool. But eh, not quite up to date with it. So who knows. But seriously, samurai flamenco is pretty good imo | ||

Why did it take so long for Konomi to appear? Such a pretty character. Suguru continues to be awesome. I really hope his seiyuu gets more roles after this, because he's putting in a fantastic performance. + Show Spoiler + ![]() Objection! | ||

The last few episodes have been meh IMO. The fog ships don't feel as threatening. Although, it is nice to have a little bit more information on how they operate (still a lot of ? ; this episodes answered some questions, but created more) (also the explanation why mental model stopped being of the Fog :S | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Sora no Manimani] + Thought I was going to watch like Toradora with an astronomy fetish but was just the astronomy fetish really. Was a nice little show, too short though I felt, the characters were nice, the graphics were pretty enough and I liked they try to teach you about all these stars and constellations. A bit bummed nothing "happened" between the characters when there were so many people with crushes going around ![]() + Show Spoiler [I''s Pure] + This show was more or less a waste of time, it's short so I didn't feel too bad about spending my time watching 6 episodes. But it was such a cliche formula that has been done so many times before and much much better, overall from Suzuka to a 10 I would give it a 5, nothing great but meh could be a lot worse. I have to ask you guys about this one, maybe you've seen it and can give me your opinion. + Show Spoiler [Mizuiro Jidai] + I feel so weird watching this show, it's so odd watching 12 year olds having these experiences somehow, this is a shoujo through and through but it's odd to see anyone having a crush on anyone before they hit puberty <.<. I mean the main character gets her FIRST period in like the 4th episode. I like the show but I feel awkward watching it for some reason, and there's 40+ episodes of this. I would like to ask if they actually grow a fair bit throughout the show or do they just stay 12 and in middle school?, there seems to be a sense of growth and progression here so I would expect them to grow older as the show advances but I've never seen a show done that so that's why I ask. + Show Spoiler [Ajimu: Kaigan Monogatari] + This show was hmm slightly better than I''s pure but also felt very meh, short and simple story with meh characters and meh graphics. I mean it's old so I'm judging it based on that but still quite a forgettable show. Thankfully it was also quite short. I was thinking of watching FLCL or Escaflowne next, I was surprised to see FLCL only has like 6 episodes? I have no previous knowledge of this show but I always heard people talking about it so I figured I would watch it at some point, is it good?. Escaflowne is quite a bit longer and I've known about it since I'm a fan of Yoko Kanno who did the music for this and people I know say it's quite good. Also holy crap Maaya Sakamoto did the voice for one of the characters!? :O! Well I'm definitely more interested now <.<. Which one do you guys thinks it's better?. I honestly ran out of "dramas" to watch, except for some old ones that have dozens of episodes which I'm putting on hold the only ones that look mildly drama related are Mirai Nikki and Tari Tari, I've heard about Mirai Nikki and I know it seems to be quite an odd show so there's that. I know next to nothing about Tari Tari but looks ok from the synopsis I read. Will probably watch these 2 after I'm done with FLCL and Escaflowne. | ||
