I refuse to believe that retcon in Black and white by regressing him to being 10.
He's clearly older in Sinnoh.

While waiting for Space dandy too start i'm just sitting here watching backlogged anime.
Finished that episode of Shakugan no shana and now i'm moving onto an episode of Marvel Diskwars.

Persona 3 Spring of Birth: The first film in the movie adaptation of the incredibly popular Persona 3 by Atlus.

P3 tells the story of Makoto Yuki (or Minato Arisato if you are reading the manga, or Sakuya Shiomi if you are going by the plays, or Masato Jin if you are like me and had no idea how to name him in the game) an exchange student that ends up joining SEES a special school club that fights Shadows, enemies to humankind that roam in the Dark Hour, the hidden hour between 12:00 and 12:01, all the while shooting himself in the head with a gun looking device that allows him to summon a physical representation of his inner psyche.
Confused yet? Good! P3 is meant to start as shocking, however unlike most game adaptations that come across as fanservice for the gamers, P3 seems to be genuinely interested in letting you know what's going on, and explains things very well.

The main problems actually come from the original game, Spring of Birth only covers the first few months of Persona 3, which means that it's mostly build up for later events, and that it has to cover a lot of ground in a short span of time.
The constant jumps can get annoying but despite being only a fraction of a bigger story, Spring of Birth manages to tell a good journey that feels good by itself, it deals with Makoto's opinion of death and life, and him slowly opening to his fellow memeber and people in general.

Spring of Birth is a solid intro to the Persona movie series, and it seems like the end result will be quite awesome.

That was one of the best things about her in the early days, it's a perfectly logical reaction, yet most people wouldn't think of it.

Capt.Earth 09:

The series is starting to get better, it seems like they're taking the Gaim approach of introducing as many Desinger's Children as possible.

We get another villain added to the bunch, this time an idol. The episode is heavily Akari focused, and just the fact that she was willing to nuke all of humanity…damn! The girl isn't as harmless as she looks.

The more I watch, the more I'm starting to get the impression that this is a modern remaining of GaoGaiGar. Although, I think I'd like to see another Desingers Child join the Hero side for a change, because as it is: they're gonna be outnumbered pretty badly.

Gundam 00 season 2 episode 19

Man, Louise is fucking angry. Even in a place where Saji and her mindmelded she still pulled a gun on him LOL.

How many of these fucking Gaddesses do these piece of shit Innovators have?

Episode 20
Goodbye Anew. Damn, just watching Lyle beat the shit out of Setsuna and start balling like that is really depressing.

It was really wretched that Anew, no Ribbons, took Lyle's heart and willingness to save her and almost crushed him. I fucking hate you Ribbons, and your dumbass troop of one trick ponies too.

That Trans-am raiser scene though, that was sexy and beautiful and tearjerking. I wonder if Setsuna had that going when Anew had her programming on, would she have been the innocent person underneath.

Now here's something that I don't understand, Louise getting turned into an Innovator. This subplot is never really utilized throughout the rest of the story, so I don't see its point.



Episode 21
Wow. Seems like everybody is a puppet of the Innovators.

And Mr. Bushido has a new suit.... that's the exact same as the old one except with white instead of red.

Louise "killing" Nena was fucking insane. Just listening to her going from coping to despair to pain in a few seconds is just scary. The thing is though, her entire career path was to be in the military just to avenge her family. I don't know anyone who has had loved ones killed, but I don't know if it is sane to spend years in training just to hopefully be deployed in a place where the person that killed you loved one is (if they are still alive.)

I'll check this out when all three movies are out and released dubbed. I hope Funimation licenses it but it will probably be Sentai since they did Persona 4 (except their BD was dubbed only...).

Hearing the original voices is kinda odd, I admit.

Gundam 00 season 2 episode 22

I think those GNHW parts didn't do anything for Arios other then give him a backpack.

It was finally time to see the A-laws get what they deserve. Especially that blonde commander guy. Mainly setup for the final battle much in a similar way to last season but still pretty awesome.

Aniplex will be releasing a Japanese audio0 Bluray in the US, but I'm sure we'll get a dub eventually.
