G Reco's ending felt very... sudden? I mean, plot development has been pretty jarring throughout the entire show, but the whole resolution came out of left field. + Show Spoiler + So as I understand it, the war is over because all the warmongers are dead, and the vast majority of ships are blown up anyways. Everyone wanted to capture Raraiya in the first half of the story, but this somehow fell to the wayside in the second half. I'm not entirely sure why they stopped. Characters flip flop so hard it's not even funny. Manny is probably the worst offender. Two episodes ago, she was trying to convince Luin to be friends with Bellri. She proceeds to try to kill Bellri in the subsequent episodes. Okay. Is she supposed to be the second coming of Reccoa or something? And Luin just... gives up at the end? That seems to be what the epilogue part of the episode suggests. It kinda makes sense if you consider he doesn't have a suit anymore, but it feels extremely underwhelming as an end to his character arc. The two parts of the series I enjoyed the most were the suit designs and fights. Suit design was amazing. Seriously, how many other shows could come up with beam curtains? I actually didn't like G Self that much at the start, but it grew on me a lot. It did a ton of cool shit. Incidentally, I really feel that GBF Try would've benefited from having more patently ridiculous (yet seemingly practical?) suits in the vein of G Reco. Ah well. Overall, the series reminded me a lot of King Gainer. Cool mechs, interesting (if woefully underdeveloped) world, a plot that is barely explained, and characters whose motivations are unfathomable at best. | ||

Yoru no Yatterman turned out to be pretty okay. The idea i thought was pretty brilliant, the execution was pretty weak. It had some strong moments, but the story telling could have been a lot better. | ||

Serious answer she sang 1st two ED of nagi no asakura. Her specialty are melancholic/mellow~ish songs. Here are the examples of her songs from anime. + Show Spoiler + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz1Kt6erGvc On March 30 2015 04:26 SkelA wrote: Watched 1st season of Nisekoi but wont watch 2nd. Seems like a waste of time, nothing will happen in the end. You watch it for the lolz and teasing. That's the pretty much the only reason to watch nisekoi at this point. Or maybe if you are into masochism then you are free to avail as well ! | ||

I was waiting for Slaine and Inaho to start making-out. More like Aldnoah.ZERO satisfaction AMIRITE? | ||

On March 30 2015 04:50 Slaughter wrote: Dunno why people are obsessed with the relationships progressing in Nisekoi. If he chooses at all it will be within the final 10 chapters of the manga. Standard harem story practices so I dunno why people seem to give Nisekoi more shit for it then every other one when its one of the best harem romcoms out there. Although I say I try not to, it's hard to go into a long-standing series (in manga terms, anything with like 75+ chapters) and come out with zero expectations as you continue to follow weekly releases. When you follow something for that long, I think it's rather natural to develop certain expectations from the characters. Not all of them (expectations) are warranted but still. In regards to Nisekoi in particular, it's hard for me to pinpoint what it is about the series that 'irks' me but I guess what it really comes down to is the sensibility (or lack thereof) of certain characters. + Show Spoiler [Onodera] + It's the very reason why a lot of people take Haru over Kosaki, they're literally drawn the same with slight difference in hair style. Haru is just more "normal" while we have Kosaki running around for triple digit chapters as fearful as she was in chapter 1. Lastly, I think Nisekoi falls to its own popularity. A lot of jp series have bumbling-type charas but somehow Nisekoi is the king at drawing aggro for its lack of "progress". But like I previously stated, it's not so much that there's no progress with Raku's love life but rather all the idiocy that surrounds Raku to prolong his situation of not choosing a girl. | ||

But like I previously stated, it's not so much that there's no progress with Raku's love life but rather all the idiocy that surrounds Raku to prolong his situation of not choosing a girl. I agree that a weak point is the rather comical extreme that the author goes to keep Raku in the dark. He is a true dumb harem MC. He also is like the male version of Onodera the way he freaks out at every little thing~ Onodera is the frightened rabbit despite having 2 strong characters propping her up and helping her.+ Show Spoiler + Despite Haru being regulated as side character she has shown that she actually has a lot in common with Raku and that they get along pretty well. Haru also is 100x more decisive and not a coward. She would have already confessed and been dating Raku by now if she wasn't loyal to her sister. Yui-nee already made her feelings known but knows how to read the mood of Raku and company (as well as having knowledge of what went down when they were kids). So she is just bidding her time waiting for the kids to get their shit together before she makes her move. Which is why Yui-nee is the best girl. | ||
