Kabukibu is starting to take shape as of episode 3.

So I watched episodes 14-16 of Last Exile and I can't do it anymore. I feel like I was watching an entirely different show and I just don't have the motivation to finish it. UGH! I hate feeling this way when I'm so close to the end of a series.

Well we finished the last 7 episodes to Space Dandy tonight. The episode that took place on Planet Limbo was down right awesome. I loved the death song. The one with the disco one was not bad as the disco music did not suck as badly as it could have. Still find it weird the planet was called Grease though when it dealt with disco. The others were kind of good, but the ending annoyed me to now end. Such a god damned copout. I'm so glad I did not continue to watch this show once a week when it initially aired. I feel bad for those that did.

Now don't get me wrong, there were interesting aspects to the reveal about Dandy and why it seems like continuity does not matter, but I've seen the ending itself done many times beforehand, and done better. Wolf's Rain and Big O, for example.

In the end, I'm going to give the show a 7/10. It wasn't anything spectacular, but it did keep me entertained. My top favorite episodes are the Limbo one, the one with the Skull Kid, the racing one, the zombie one, and the multiverse of Dandy's one.

Oh yeah, the Ultraman joke was hilarious.

Seems like Attack on Titan season 2 will have the pacing issue of season 1 which will suck.

How is that even possible? THe season is only supposed to be 12 episodes and cover up through the end of the basement saga. That's pretty much 6 manga volumes whereas Season 1 covered 8 volumes.

...

Why would you think it would possibly cover that much content in 12 episodes??

It's covering just one arc.

Because that is all one arc.

The arc starts when the Beast Titan first apears and goes until they get to Eren's basement.

I watched the dubbed episode 3 on Toonami and it just felt like not much really happened. Also its going to end most likely with the reveal of the Armor and Colossus. Though I have no clue how long the Clash of the Titans Arc is in the manga.

No, that is 3 total arcs.

If I was a fan I'd be pissed as people waited 3 fucking years for this new season
