But then the ending of the movie. So it's basically the mirror of the show... Instead of Madoka left as a god and everyone left to live their lives peacefully (for the most part), Homura let herself become a devil. But also with the caveat that, oh yeah, Madoka could still regain her memories and all the fighting just happen again?

But even just ignoring the somewhat open ending, it just bugged me so much that Homura did that at all. She did not strike me as such a twisted, evil person at all. Heck, what she did is more cruel Kyubey contracting with magical girls at the cost of their lives in a way.

Besides the ending was the overall movie enjoyable? I have yet to watch it, sadly I already knew about the ending due to some silly friends of mine.

The second season of Saint Seiya Omega ended today and it was... a trainwreck.

The original season was pretty good, part sequel, part reimake, it took the story arcs of the original season but with a new cast and antagonists, The Galaxian Wars became Palaestra, then the Silver Saints showed up and then there was a race to complete the 12 Houses.

It was a new Saint Seiya for a younger fanbase, but it had good execution an enjoyable storyline and a strong cast.

Second season, completely dropped all that, in fact it completely forgot it's protagonists for most of the season, only the first few eps and the finale focused on them, with no real growth or depth added to them, instead their screen time was sacrificed for apperances from characters from the original saga, even the original Steel Saints reappeared, and truth to be told, nobody cares about them, the result was a very broken and disjointed story which felt incredibly repetitive as the saints essentially fought the same 2 or 3 villains for 50 or so episodes, it had it's moments and Subaru was a pretty cool guy, but all things said it was an incredibly dissapointing second season, and an even worse goodbye to the show.

Ohh well, I'll try to remain optimistic for the new SS movie, Legend of Sanctuary.

SAO Episode 15: Return

Second half is off to a decent start. Signs of the apocalypse are beginning to show but nothing major... Here's hoping for the best.

So I gave Majin Bone a watch.

it was a very typical first episode, but I enjoyed watching it. The action was great, and I got a few laughs from it.

This series is pretty much anime Toku, and I think everyone here should give it a try:

Even the intro feels like something out of an Ultraman series.

Congratulations, you just sold me on another anime on my queue.

So do you guys know a good site where I can find the episodes of Madoka? I like having the episodes because if I like a series I make music videos of my favorite characters so I like having the episodes lol.

Also is Dubbed or Subbed better for it?

Electric Turahk · 04-03-2014, 11:11 AM

Thoughts on Log Horizon?

Can't go wrong with either one so just go with what you normally do.

Lol that's difficult, I prefer subs lately just because of everything else I've been watching.

So the intro for Disk Wars Avengers is pretty kick ass:

I can already tell that this is leagues better than Avengers Assemble.
