Ah... glad to hear you watched it! Loved Samurai Champloo, especially Jin and Mugen and their last battle. Glad they didn't die though.

Let's take a quick look at what I had to check this time...

Tales of Zestiria: Ufotable delivered a visually beautiful special, that is accompanies with a simple but enjoyable enough story that require no game knowledge, all in all it's only 40min, and the world it's set in its worth the time by itself.

Tsukimonogatari: I dig them Monogataris.
You might dig them Monogataris.
If not, then you should dig the Monogataris.

Yuri Kuma Arashi: The guy behind Mawaru Penguindrum did this.
So, there is a ton of symbolism, wtf moments and bizarre worldbuilding, the first ep was a riot on shock value alone, but the next two don't really seem to be building to anything in particular, and are quite repetitive.
It's still more fun than boring anyways.

Q Transformers: Short web episodes where Optimus, Bee and Lockdown comment on the changes they'd do to the franchise!
It's pretty funny, though even if there are raws and summaries, there doesn't seem to be proper subs so far.

Kantai Collection: Moe boat girls in a school like setting! Sometimes there are battles! Yay.
I think most people know whether they want to check it or not at first glance, I found episode 1 sleep-inducing, but 2 managed to be more entertaining and moved more, it's all about the growth of the lead from clumsy to confident.

Aldnoah.Zero 2: So... I wasn't huge on S1, and the wait for S2 made me even more apathetic, it more or less rolls the same way as S1, with the same exact structure, for better or worse.

Military: 3 minutes comedy where a regualr dude is more or less harrased by overly moefied tank operators.
It's a bunch of inocherent elements that aims only at being random and never truly funny.

Saekano: Episode 0 is meta as heck, the cocnept of fourth wall is more than broken in it, but it's not necessarily done in a smart way, they jusst limit themselves top point out the intentional flaws they left.
1 fares better, being a straightforward comedy, with a more regular setup, the characters are fun enough, and it was far more enjoyable than 0.

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu: Students try to kill teacher... SOLD!!!!

As dark as the premise sounds, it actually was rather lighthearted and even heartwarming, the teacher is superpowered alien, and the studens fight with toy weapons that are harmless to humans but not the teacher.
It's a riot from beginning to end, and a really cool way to handle such a bizarre premise.

Cinderella Girls: It's well done.
I don't seem to be able to say much from a critical pov, but it is enjoyable, and both eps were solid in general.

Yugioh GX episode 1

Time to take a look at one of my most nostalgic shows to see if it still holds up. I will still be referring to the characters by their english names. Except for season 4 exclusive characters.

I watched this subbed so it was quite the difference. The music, names, voices, duel interface were all different. I don't like Syrus or Crowler's voices. Crowler's got a weird French or Spanish thing going on for some reason and Syrus is ridiculously high pitched. But I like Jaden's voice so far.

And god damn the duels are slower then I remember. It took 1 episode to take what? 5 turns?

Weekly update:

Naruto: *BLAHHHHH* Such filler. Much garbage. So waste time.

Tokyo Ghoul: Alriiight, we've established how much time has passed, which has things making a little more sense. And some nice development showing how everyone's choosing to progress the state of affairs... or not... after that first battle against Anteiku. But most importantly we saw that Kaneki might not have snapped so much as we think he has, but that's not going to help him as people start to realize who he is. Overall, good development episode.

Log Horizon: ...So... female Shiroe... wut?

Aldnoah.Zero: ...What even is going on here. Okay so maybe this helped redeem Slaine a little bit for me, but it still did kind of come out of nowhere. I know his actions all along have been pretty much like that, but this time I was sure he was being straightforward. Instead we get another flip. With again, no foreshadowing or build up. But how he did it was pretty cool...

DRRR!!x2: So is that girl supernatural or not? Anywho, this one finally clicked into place all of the timeline jumping that had been going on, so I think I see how it all went down now. That had been kind of annoying. Hopefully it goes a little more linear from here on out.

One Piece: So things slowed down a little and this episode had very little action, but that's fine given what we've been seeing. Sabo finally just saying his name and getting the placard introduction was just as silly as the manga, since we've known for a while who he is. Ah, but the ending with Doflamingo... Some nice setup there.

Also watched three of the Digimon movies this weekend: Diaboromon's Revenge, Adventurer's Battle, and Runaway Locomon. They were all pretty alright.

Gundam 00 S2 15 and 16

Okay, I can accept the Trans-Am allowing Setsuna to mind meld with Marinia and hear her song or some BS like that, but how the hell was Al-Sachez able to hear it? Or Klauss? It just makes no damn sense. But at least the Masurao is pretty cool.

I thought 00 Raiser in Trans Am allows for everyone that is in within a certain range of 00 allows every single person to hear others thoughts. That what I read upon the 00 Raiser spec.

Because not-Newtypes must always have pseudo-telepathic powers, just to match Amuro and his lot's universe equivalents.

Or because nakama or some shit, anime loves this trope.

Don't get me wrong, I love Gundam 00. It does pull some nonsense out of nowhere, though.
