Too Long Read: Didn't 2?

*starts banging drums slowly*

TLR:D2 is being awfully nice and releasing two BluRays this month. Just caught episodes 5 & 6 uncensored and damn, with Nemesis they finally have a true adversary for Momo. Their battles for Rito's attention should be epic!

Well, im getting lolly pop and chainsaw, dead island, completly forgot the 3rd game some how no idea how, project diva for the psp (Cant wait for this tbh lol gonna be using my brothers old psp when he is at work lol or find my other one :P) and on top of that the guy was throwing in free anime posters (they all had creases in them _-_ ;-; ) regardless of condition i got a angel beats one, coming from Western Australia tho so other side of the country, cost me $25 for the games a free poster and $15 postage. $40 isn't too bad, kinda wish i got some of his figures but they were pretty pricey and most of them had light/minor damage such as missing left foot peg ect. I only chose the Angel Beats poster cause thats the only anime i recognised there but still pretty happy with it.


also my tamogotchi lanyard broke a month ago ;-; loved that adorable thing i too of the device, but i got my 2 SAO ones the other day, they are kinda meh but to get a good one was about $15 and i wasnt paying that much for a lanyard, a $2 SAO lanyard from china i will buy tho lel.

6 episodes out? Guess it's time to give it a look.

Waiting on S2 Testament uncensored before watching, as well. And Valkyrie or w/e it's called that Funimation picked up, it's worse then queens blade, isn't it? I may just skip it.

;-; not actually crying, but i really want to honestly. Just wont come out (go ahead make a joke if you want :P)

gotta watch
He is my master
Yuri Yuri season 2
Non Non Biyori
1 more of the garden of sinners movies, or 2 i don't know, but man that 2 hour one was the death of me _-_ recently ive been too fidgety to sit still and watch a few hours of anime at a time, like with kimi i watched a ep or 2 a day amazingly, rather than 4-6eps a day.

Noragami Aragoto is pretty sweet still.

Take your list, throw it out a window, and just watch Non Non Biyori 4 times. There's a reason it sits at the top of every anime I've ever seen. Well, you can watch Yuru Yuri as well. That was good too.

Gekkan Shojo Nozaki-Kun (Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun)
A shoujo comedy about a girl who tries to confess to a mangaka. She totally screws up, and ends up becoming his assistant.

This one was absolutely hilarious. A shoujo about a guy who writes shoujo mangas, means that this anime is basically just a huge parody of the genre. Taking conventional tropes, and turning them on their sides. Honestly, I was skeptical when my brother recommended this one, but I ended up liking it. With a charming cast of characters, very well done art, and an OP that is funkier than any OP should legally be allowed to be, I'd say that this should definitely go on your list of anime to watch if you haven't seen it already.

Thought about watching Gekkan but wasn't sure what to expect. Guess I'll give it a try after such a glowing review.

Non Non B really isn't all that special, it'll only hook you if the characters do, and these easy going, laid back characters can be quite easy to enjoy. And it helps they're not cliche'd, but instead create there own cliche moments the series suffers from.

You'll eventually get bored of hearing the same joke told a different way, of how country the country is, and it kinda irked me how easy they made life in the country seem, while in contrast Wolf Girl showed how hard it actually is.

But my god is the scenery gorgeous. The use of shadows too, just sublime. Out of the three big moe shows, Order is a Rabbit, Yuru Yuri, and Non non B, NNB is definitely the most visually pleasing.

But it doesn't actually separate itself from the others, it's the same tempo and beat, just different jokes.

Yoru Yuri is the only moe show that takes it to the never level by making slice of life fun.

The other shows just don't inspire anything other then moments of moe. They won't make you laugh, but they will make you smile, big.

Lucky Star has better development then those shows, so that should also say something.

Over-all, NNB - 7.5
OIAR - 8, characters are more interesting and a plot actually develops somewhat.
Yuru Yuri - 9 A solid show in many levels, and it actually does have gorgeous animation, especially after season 2.

and an atmosphere that could put you to sleep if you aren't careful

A little news;

We've talked about our own forums and site, and it's still going to be some time. Me and a friend recently purchased AnimeGrinder.com, and before we release the forums we wanted to set up the website first.

It'll be a bit basic and ugly at first, but we'll be recording reviews in different formats, official, staff made, or special reviews will be shared on it's own web page, complete with links and possibly even the stream itself.

The more unofficial ones will be found in the forums, where comments and discussions can be more thorough. Of course the website will link back to any amateur reviews.

The site will focus on news and events related to Anime, VN's, LN's, and Manga, and organizing reviews for people to not only find the show they're looking for, but a particular reviewer whose on point with your interest.

In that regard, we'll eventually be designing our own profiles to help in that regard.

And if John is able or willing, I'd like to include our own chat, complete with video streaming to watch shows together.

other then that this season of anime has been surprisingly good. Originally I called this the worst season, but OPM, Gundam, Bones, The Perfect Stranger, Yuru Yuri S3, Order is a Rabbit S2, and Utawarurumonu changed my mind.

The three action shows, * Wars, Chivalry of a failed knight, and Anti-Magic Academy have ultimately been failures, and almost rip-offs of each other. It's a shame out of 3 attempts at a High school action show, we get another Magic Wars failures.

Chivalry tried to stay interesting by involving a strong love element into the equation, really enticing fans to want to get to know them more as a couple rather then individuals, and that's good, because by themselves they both fail as characters.

* Wars is much move beautifully animated, or high budgeted, and with a more interesting foreshadowing going on to greater things as schools make moves to out-wit one another, but it ultimately dwindles down to a basic hero saves the day formula because no one else can or will for whatever reasons. Thus making every good choice our no-brain hero make seem more heroic then it actually is. But then again, the rest of *Wars side cast is growing rather well, and it could be something better down the line.

But Anti-Magic Academy is just a failure in too many levels to be taken seriously, even though it's backed by some gorgeous animation. But the foundation of the show is built upon the MC's relationship with the rest of the squad, and in almost every one of them there relationship feels so contrived and forced that everything the show does seems invalid for the attempt. The functions of the school weren't explained properly to even explain how inexperienced members can form a squad to function as a unit, and we're supposed to believe a chain of command exist when everything functions like a high school. It's just confusion, from top to to bottom.
