I respectfully disagree about Pocketful of Rainbows. I'm aware the majority of fans hate it, but the fact it's clearly a standalone alternate universe means it can get away with a lot more than a sequel could (I freely admit I love AU stuff anyway), plus the new footage is gorgeous.

AO on the other hand hyped itself up as a sequel, proceeded to act like it was some sort of AU for most of its run then in the last few episodes decide to go into proper sequel mode - in the process deciding that none of the stories or development of the new characters mattered. Literally

But I digress - Lagrange is on my to watch list, I just haven't got around to downloading it yet.

Well, I finished Bleach. They pick a good stopping point and gave a solid ending. Honestly, if I didn't know Bleach continued pass this in the manga, I'd believe it was completely over. I'm happy to be finally done with the show.

For the record, I do think that Pocketful of Rainbows started out great. It only fell apart towards the end when the younger Anemone showed up.

Yeah, that bit was a little weird. The Nirvash/Devilfish fight that followed made up for it though.

just you wait Bleach will get the naruto shippuden treatment as soon as the final arcs finshed with bleach and name to be relivent to the show like naruto manga is still just called naruto but for the manga section that shippudent they added shipuden for the anime and its the same with dragonball z as well

The Bleach anime is over. It's still going on in the manga, far past Aizen (Kubo having been noted as "Aizen was the halfway point"), but the anime is done.

yea alot of anime get done at this point when it catches up to the manga and bleach is a excaple of that it Done at the moment till they decide to ad the last part of the manga with out filler it bound to happen. due to Dragonball z had alot of filler due to the fact it was catched up with the mang and had to filler until the next chapter was out and able to turn in to an episode TV tokyo being smart

Oh yeah, definitely.

Do any of you guys watch Hetalia? It doesn't have much of a story, but it's good.

At long last I finished Fate Stay Night. It was enjoyable but for some reason I kept putting it off. Now all that's left is finishing Victory.

I just caught Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo 14. Damn it, I thought I was going to drop this one, but that episode was wayyyyyyy to pretty for me to give up this show. Something about those darn Christmas episodes in romantic anime gets me every time. This entire show is kind of heartbreaking for an Aoyama fan like me though.

Just started the World God Only Knows, definitely one of the funniest anime comedies I've seen in a while.

I don't know why I'm still watching Vivirdred Operation, because it has the potential to be the worst anime I've seen in a while.

About to start Oreimo though, which I'm looking forward to. I watched a few episodes with the girlfriend but never finished it.

I've heard absolutely terrible things about that show so far. Are you planning on reviewing it?

Yep. Its the only reason I haven't dropped it after 4 episodes :lol

Vividred Operation is that one show where the concepts are all awesome, I mean it's basically Tech-based magical girls mixed with super robot abilities....But the show itself is far from it.

The pacing is what kills it. Things move too fast, characters are introduced and developed in single episodes, some of the explained mechanics get regularly thrown out the window and because this is done by the same team that did Strike Witches...there are waaay too many butt shots. It's sad because the voice cast and animation, especially for the battle and transformation scenes, are great.

So I was catching up with my weeklies, and I suddenly feel Vividred is trying its hardest to get me to like it...

A for effort, but its still not working :lol

Even though I have about 5 different things I need to watch, everything drops when new episodes of Initial D hit; Episodes 7 and 8.

Don't know if anyone's still following Robotics;Notes on here, but it really hit the fan in the last episode.

Also, Steins;Gate references FTW

I am, but I'm 2 episodes behind.

Thanks to Netflix I'm rekindling my love of Robotech. Apparently the new roommate's never seen it before.. I find that a crime against humanity!

Just out of curiousity, have you ever seen any of the Macross series?

Nope.

Robotech is crap in hindsight. A PROPER dub is on Hulu. It has ads out the window, but good luck finding the DVDs. I really, really wish it was on Netflix too because Hulu puts to many ads in every episode.

Please rectify this.

been watching fairy tail and it going to end soon half way though an arc what weired and does not matter due to the fact i be reading the manga for it any way

You really should. Macross is to Robotech as Sentai is to Power Rangers.

This.

... But I really love Robotech.

that's fine. I just meant in the way that it's an adaptation.

Anyway, I don't know if I mentioned it here, but i started over on Tiger and Bunny since it's been so long since I last watched it. I just watched "Go for Broke!" it was pretty good. During the Good Luck Mode...was anyone reminded of Kabuto?

All this talk about Robotech reminds me I really need to find a good copy of Mospeada.

Still hung up on Hunter X Hunter but my main fix thus far is Magi. I really dig the heck out of this show.

Any opinions on Phycho-Pass? I need something to watch tonight and it looks like something I'd like.

I've only ever seen the first episode. I thought it was weird...it was quite gory...so, I didnmt like it, but if you're into that, then go ahead and give it a look.

Tiger and Bunny, The Wolf Knows What the Ill Beast Thinks:

Lunatic is a jerk. Wait...his voice...it sounds like Urataros...*checks wikipedia* OH MY GOSH! IT IS! I wonder why he hates the heroes. It was also nice to get some character development and backstory. Poor guy...anyway...I though that this was another great episode

Been watching Mushishi off and on between all the other things I watch on Netflix. It's a talkie anime, but I like it well enough.

Tiger and Bunny episodes 15 and 16:

Kotetsu's powers are in decline, and Mr. Legend was Lunatic's father, and his powers declined as well, which caused him to drift into alcoholism, and to abuse his wife, which in turn caused Lunatic to burn his own father to death. I feel sorry for his mother, since she lives in fear of her son. I hope Kotetsu tells everyone that his powers are declining soon. Also Lunatic saying that he would tell the heroes about the "Lady Killer" then not telling them...a thousand lies a thousand fabrications Koji Yusa!

Been watching Spice and Wolf. Also saw the first of the Madoka Magica movies on the big screen! Sometimes I'm glad I live in Canada.

Jealous.

GOOD! Just kidding.

Was there much new footage in it?

Well, Mami got two new transformation sequences as well as her apartment getting a bit of a makeover and I think Sayaka's transformation was redone a bit (It had a new underwater background but I'm pretty sure the animation was the same, I couldn't tell). Also Kyoko got a lot more stuff to munch on. Basically it's just a remaster of the already amazing first eight episodes of the series so your not missing much if you've seen them already. It was still awesome don't get me wrong, but we've all seen it before.

The two major stands out were oddly the ending credits as well as a Japanese version of Mami's main theme that I haven't been able to find yet. Also, I think I saw Arkada from Glass Reflection there so there's that. :lol

Edit: Can't believe I forgot to mention this (I tired as hell right now) but the theater I saw it at was completely packed with Madoka fans which made me very happy. So many people with little Kyubeys! A little kid tried to touch one and the owner was like "DON'T LET HIM TOUCH YOU!"
