We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Black Bullet: so, I guess it's over. Too bad, I liked the anime though the pacing as usual was pretty bad lol. + Show Spoiler +
We went from them fighting which was ok into Kisara being evil because they got revenge for her parent's death into the new Gastrea law being accepted after the fight. They could've easily made that into 2 episodes and provided some background on Kisara's past (did they give us much early on?) but again, too much had to be done in one episode.

Also, Rentaro breaking down on the train at the end, so uncharacteristic of him. I mean, yes, he does get sad before but to break down all of a sudden. Guess he finally had a moment to reflect on everything now that the fight is over and it hit him hard head on, rough All in all, not a bad anime but definitely suffered from some pacing problems.

Aslo Bigfan, since you finished Sidonia what did you think of the little teaser at the end of episode 12? :D


It takes me a bit of time to read a manga chapter. I find myself just studying the pictures and the details especially if it's a nicely drawn one so ya, those 50 chapters a couple of hours to read at least lol. I guess that's one reason to wait. Other one is that I'm not sure if I will want to continue watching the anime if we get a 2nd season if I catch up to the latest manga chapter. I know with Naruto, I got sick of waiting and eventually dropped the anime (fillers played quite the role though) so I don't want that to happen with Nisekoi but I might just throw in the towel eventually.

As for teaser, you mean the Gauna that looks like some umm guardian or w/e it's called? Looked awesome! + Show Spoiler +
I accidentally spoiled that the Gauna or benisuzume doesn't die that easily lol but I guess I knew that from the teaser.
Regardless, I'm excited for season 2! :D

lol. I'll get to the 4th episode eventually XD I'm just into the romcom and mech genre atm so bake hasn't managed to hold my interest just yet. Maybe when more girls join the group (Yawn at crab :O ) then I'll get more interested.

First off, I wouldn't label it as mecha, I feel its more science fiction than mecha. Like the mecha was just a means to the story and not the main focus at all. Even with the crappy animation of the people, the rest of the animation was better (like the fighting and general scenery and stuff). A couple of the characters were amazing (as in development and persona's) but the rest were not very good...That doesn't really matter though b/c all the main characters were the good ones. The story is somewhat brilliant...Amazing sci-fi themes, and they tell you just enough so your imagination can come up with whats going on (even if you're probably horribly wrong) while still leaving so many questions to be answered, forcing you to constantly come back for more. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable show, Glad I watched it, Will watch next season, Will probably watch this season again sometime.


np, glad you liked it. It had mech but it was quite the thriller imo. I loved the action and those scenes were done really well especially the benisuzume fights. That Gauna is ridiculously good! I love it! <3 ya, the imagination part was good too since you had to wonder what's going to happen next etc...

Well that too, but I also meant just trying to come up with backstory and overall explanations of the world Sidonia is set in. And you were right, the Benisuzume parts were awesome and a little creepy (dat laugh!!!) I'm also marathoning Toradora right now b/c of your rec and really enjoying it. I figured after watching that crazy action packed sci-fi a nice romcom would sorta mellow things out a little.

Then my plan is to marathon as much monogatari as i can, probably up until this current season. Im not sure yet.

The Haruhi movie was pretty damn good.

I wonder the exact nature of Yuki's "errors". Kyon seems to think it was more born out of frustration but I wonder if she did it because she has come to love Kyon and wanted to give him a choice to have a normal life (and give her "normal" emotions so they might end up together)? Also Adult Asahina whispered something to Kyon. Does this get answered in the novels? I have a feeling it might have been "I love you" or something.

No. It's implied. + Show Spoiler +
At the end of the movie, Kyon also trolls her by calling her by her first name. She looks up only to realize Kyon is saying it's snowing. =(


Don't know what she whispered, don't remember her whispering anything either =\. What happened in the movie, happened in the novels. Word for word.

Also, it's been announced there will be an anime on the spin off manga relating to the movie. http://haruhi.wikia.com/wiki/The_Disappearance_of_Nagato_Yuki-chan_(anime)

That manga is shit though. We've been over this before.

ah I see, ya, fair point. Trying to find out about the backstory was good too. Well, the laugh just made it even better lol. She did copy her whole form so it makes sense. Glad to hear that you are enjoying Toradora. It's a fun anime and with your rec, I think you'll continue enjoying it like I did yes, good balance lol

Well just think about it. If all you have is moe Nagato and normal Kyon, how is the show any different from a standard shoujo? The novelty of the manga wore off pretty quickly.

I am wondering how Ryuhou)aS( will feel about Toradora's last 3-4 episodes. Basically all my criticism of my show is centered in how the author handled it. Did a similar thing in Golden Time too but not as bad.

well, I'm sure he'll ask a similar question to what we asked then come to peace with it lol. I dunno, I feel that GT's last episode was actually worse than Toradora by quite a bit. At least in Toradora's case, there was a possible reason as to why things went as they did but with GT, it was total bs lol. + Show Spoiler [Golden Time] +
How can you forget the whole Linda appearing out of nowhere and the ghost somehow materializing (or appearing to her). They could've easily had her come to terms with him liking koko in a previous episode so that that part gets closed but they decided to have that scene which made no sense.

Yea I agree with you there. Linda somehow entering into his mind "thing" was weird and silly. Whats weird is that they basically made any indications that she might have liked him be soooo freaking subtle that it basically was non-existent until the last episode when she "came to terms with it". Was just really poorly done imo.

well, she did get pissed at him for tearing their picture together or I think she did it after something happened so that can be seen as being non subtle lol. We did see her constantly dismiss his suggestion of being more than friends(indirectly, few times happened I think) though an explanation was that she didn't want him to leave koko for herself.

Before that final episode, I do recall there were several moments where Linda was regretful of the past and wished that she could go back to change it. Unfortunately, I don't remember if there was anything else alluded to in her previous comments to say whether everything was really subtle. In other words, maybe most times it was really subtle but I think there were a scene or two where her intentions seemed more clear but she was holding back due to not wanting to hurt him, not wanting to him to breakup with koko etc...

Argvollen ep 1 was pretty generic. They really need to stop using the whole "inexperienced kid soldier gets secret mecha by chance" schtick.

Tokyo Ghoul ep 1 was generally ok with prolonged periods of mc annoyance.

Argvollen ep 1 was pretty generic. They really need to stop using the whole "inexperienced kid soldier gets secret mecha by chance" schtick.


I thought the first half was pretty good, liked the design of the lumbering mechs, those looked cool. Than the second half was just blargh. As generic as things can get. Kinda annoying.

The Haruhi movie was pretty damn good.

I wonder the exact nature of Yuki's "errors". Kyon seems to think it was more born out of frustration but I wonder if she did it because she has come to love Kyon and wanted to give him a choice to have a normal life (and give her "normal" emotions so they might end up together)? Also Adult Asahina whispered something to Kyon. Does this get answered in the novels? I have a feeling it might have been "I love you" or something.

No. It's implied. + Show Spoiler +
At the end of the movie, Kyon also trolls her by calling her by her first name. She looks up only to realize Kyon is saying it's snowing. =(


Don't know what she whispered, don't remember her whispering anything either =\. What happened in the movie, happened in the novels. Word for word.

Also, it's been announced there will be an anime on the spin off manga relating to the movie. http://haruhi.wikia.com/wiki/The_Disappearance_of_Nagato_Yuki-chan_(anime)

That manga is shit though. We've been over this before.

It was? damn that's a shame =\. I didn't actually like the art style too much either, which was why i never read it.

Even as a haruhi fan i wouldn't watch the The_Disappearance_of_Nagato_Yuki-chan_(anime). It's really terrible.

I got Sasaki out of that manga now so I think I've gotten just about everything I wanted. Long hair Haruhi and Sasaki.


Still waiting for the sasaki to appear in the anime even it is a false hope.

Im thinking about getting into the monogatari thing, whats the order i should watch it in? Is there like a chronology?


I am not entirely sure of the chronological order because I have only read some of the LNs but generally people watch

Bakemonogatari----> Neko Kuro Monogatari -----> Nisemonogatari -----> Monogatari Second Season.

Maybe switch Nise and Neko around, not sure about that (don't think it matters too much though).


Also don't be a Bigfan and say you will watch it but then just watch the 1st couple of episodes then keep saying "I will finish it later but I have other stuff that I want to finish 1st" as you casually add more and more stuff to watch ahead of it.



I guess bigfan still hasn't watched monogatari right

Bakemonogatari --> nisemonogatari --> nekomonogatari --> monogatari s2 .. as what people said i don't think it would matter if you switch nise and neko..

Movie was good it felt like i did not watch haruhi the first time i saw it.
+ Show Spoiler +
I've always thought of asahina as a moe blob and not really that relevant of the show even after reading the books. I think haruhi will almost certainly be the end girl especially after reading surprise or have a open ending.

And man holy shit at the Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya in S2. That scene in episode 13 did not expect it to go that far lol she is such a bitch.

I am wondering how Ryuhou)aS( will feel about Toradora's last 3-4 episodes. Basically all my criticism of my show is centered in how the author handled it. Did a similar thing in Golden Time too but not as bad.

well, I'm sure he'll ask a similar question to what we asked then come to peace with it lol. I dunno, I feel that GT's last episode was actually worse than Toradora by quite a bit. At least in Toradora's case, there was a possible reason as to why things went as they did but with GT, it was total bs lol. + Show Spoiler [Golden Time] +
How can you forget the whole Linda appearing out of nowhere and the ghost somehow materializing (or appearing to her). They could've easily had her come to terms with him liking koko in a previous episode so that that part gets closed but they decided to have that scene which made no sense.


+ Show Spoiler +
Yea I agree with you there. Linda somehow entering into his mind "thing" was weird and silly. Whats weird is that they basically made any indications that she might have liked him be soooo freaking subtle that it basically was non-existent until the last episode when she "came to terms with it". Was just really poorly done imo.

+ Show Spoiler [GT] +
well, she did get pissed at him for tearing their picture together or I think she did it after something happened so that can be seen as being non subtle lol. We did see her constantly dismiss his suggestion of being more than friends(indirectly, few times happened I think) though an explanation was that she didn't want him to leave koko for herself.

Before that final episode, I do recall there were several moments where Linda was regretful of the past and wished that she could go back to change it. Unfortunately, I don't remember if there was anything else alluded to in her previous comments to say whether everything was really subtle. In other words, maybe most times it was really subtle but I think there were a scene or two where her intentions seemed more clear but she was holding back due to not wanting to hurt him, not wanting to him to breakup with koko etc...

+ Show Spoiler +

A lot of that can also easily be explained by her guilt because of how she was late the night she got injured. When he tore up the picture she was hurt sure because anyone would be in that situation. The scene where they were taking pictures was more getting caught up in the moment. She spent the entire series supporting him in his new life because she stayed away while he was in the hospital so she was trying to help him out now in moving on. She never made any kind of move on him or told him she liked him. They only hinted in the flashback with the whole "everything I said was opposite" but that was back then. They never firmly established that she liked him in the present and only wanted to help him get back on his feet. She was super supportive of their relationship the whole time then suddenly we get a confession of love and a "its ok I'm over it" in the same bloody scene.
Never Knows Best.
