The "What anime are you watching" thread

Watched the final episode of Noragami today, I really liked the show, the idea of a minor god trying to remain relevant trough lesser jobs was fun, but the characters were the real stars of the show, in particular Hiyori she was a strong and fun lead, Yato has Hiroshi Kamiya's voice so I'm biased, and Yukine's cahracter development was the main focus of the show so he turned out pretty well.

But that's the main thing, outside of Yukine's growth nothing much happened, the show has strong characters and ideas but there was so much more to do, I hope we get another season.

Thank god this season is ending, all shows I picked last season decided to run for two-cours so this season was really hectic.

HeartCatch 18 and 19:

I liked 18. Ban reminded me of Kanji from Persona 4. I figured he would be into cute things, but a Precure manga? That was unexpected.

It was till pretty much filler, but enjoyable filler.

As for 19...I thought it was ok. It bothered me that they never brought up Aki's mother, but we got a bit of backstory on Erika's father, which was nice. Also, HOLY CRAP Erika's dad opened his eyes! I found it weird that he acted like a giant monster is a normal thing.

EDIT: Episode 20:

The plot thickens...

A new fairy is born! and we see or hear, rather the Desert Apostles' true leader, Dune. The only thing that bothered me was how easily the bad guys gave up. Cobraja I understand, but Kumojacky could've stayed and helped Sasorina out.

21:

*sigh* Really Erika? You take Potpourri's Precure Seed and ask what it is? Gee...I don't know, maybe it's that thing you use to transform!!! Anyway, the Precure scouting parts were funny. I particularly enjoyed the part with Ban.

I have to wonder, though...could a guy become a Precure? I have to agree with Cobraja here...THAT'S the reason her heart flower was wilting? Everyone else's thus far have been over more serious issues than just being scared. I feel stupid for not already figuring out that Coupe was Tsubomi's Grandma's partner. I had originally thought he was just there.

Also, Yuri smiled for once!

This was the most I've ever enjoyed myself during an episode of HeartCatch.

22:

So...Kumojacky just looked at a Typhoon for 30 seconds and developed a new attack from it...okaaaaaaay...

23:

Cure Sunshine had an awesome introduction! This was a really good episode. I was honestly afraid that something worse was going to happen to Itsuki's brother for her to become Cure Sunshine. I love her henshin sequence, by the way, the karate moves are a nice touch. I also love how her finisher is Macross Missile Massacre, also her catchphrase is my favorite.

24:

WOAH! This show just went all DBZ!

That fight against Dark Precure was awesome! It really had me on the edge of my seat, and capes! They've been in the intro the whole time...it's about time they used those.

So yeah, the Cure Sunshine story arc is definitely my favorite story arc thus far.

25:
Woah! Sunshine almost got Sasorina! Sunshine is quickly becoming my favorite Precure...even though I still think Moonlight looks way cooler. I love how Cobraja lets whether or not he thinks something is beautiful dictate all of his actions.

Also, way to spoil the Super Modes in the end credits there, guys...

Now I gotta wait for this next batch torrent to download...

So I finished HeartCatch Precure yesterday, well today... at 3am, thank god today was a holiday.

I have already expressed my opinion of the show many times here (great cast, enjoyable motw episodes, engaging story and full of energy) the ending was good, I dropped a few tear near the end, and then when it finally hit me that it was over, I let a few more out.

Let's see this time the things I didn't like so much:

The main villain trio has very defined personalities, and while they don't get much development they stnad out, Dark Precure was cool as well, but Professor Sabaaku was as interesting and relevant as a paper cutout, Dune is esentially big bad and nothing else.

I feel they could have explained the powers and the way things worked out in this world a tad bit more, I had some doubts here and there after the show was over, but nothing major.

So now let's see a list of favorites no one ever asked for:
Precure (Moonlight), Fairy (Coffret), Supporting Character (Ban-kun), Episodes (33, 34, 48), Villain (Cobraja), Henshin (Sunshine), Finisher (Gold Forte Burst), Song (HeartCatch Orchestra)

So with that said, all that is left is the movie.

Believe it or not, Erika had a good reason to ask, we, the viewers, were the ones that didn't pay enough attention.

but I obviously was, since I noticed. (Unless the girls in Japan didn't...I don't know.)

HeartCatch 26:

I rather liked it. I don't know...is it just me? or did it seem like that girl wanted to be more than just friends with Itsuki? Also, poor Kumojacky...he had to do it all alone.

You'll find out soon enough.

That's something I never considered, then again we've seen that girls dig Itsuki...
