I watched episodes 7-9 of GT and my god. The first two were just the plot from the Oolong introductory episodes mixed characters stolen from a Zelda game while the third was even worse. This show sucks even moreso than I remember it. I do not know how much longer my attention span can deal with this crap as it is starting to fade even now.

Yuki Yuna Wa Yusha De Aru Episode 5: I see why we had an episode free of fighting, for the next episode to be nothing but fighting. The last 7 vertexes vs the 5 Girls. I was surprised at this honestly they kicked the first one’s butt pretty easily but it was just a distraction for the others. First of all I loved that Itsuki got past the bell because of her being connected with Music and that sounds should harm people. I loved that after the Vertexes merged it kicked all their butts showing that this threat is actually extremely tough. I love that Fu, Togo, Itsuki, and Yuna all leveled up and transformed into their Mankai states (I also love that their powers can level up like a video game and they can get stronger.). I had a feeling everyone but Karin was going to go to Mankai because she said she was stronger than them but honestly I am happy that she only cared about that her friends were okay and not that they got more powerful than her. The characters are the best part of this show and they kick ass, I love Fu’s giant sword, Yuna’s giant mech fists, Itsuki’s vines of destruction, and Togo’s gigantic, badass, gun mech. I am intrigued to see if Karin goes Mankai I can only imagine what that looks like. I keep forgetting to mention this but I love their faeries, they are so cute and awesome. Still I love how each character didn’t give up for each of their own reasons transformed to a higher state, I also love they all have a higher state, I mean come on Sentais rarely do that.

Yuki Yuna Wa Yusha De Aru Episode 6: Well after that cataclysmic with the 7 Vertexes last episode, we have the aftermath of it. So something happened to the 4 that went Mankai and it’s pretty serious stuff, it actually feels much darker than the show let’s on because of the positive attitudes of the characters. Fu is now Nick Fury as she lost sight in one of her eyes, Itsuki lost her voice which is seriously a problem if it doesn’t come back because her dream is to be a singer, Togo lost her hearing in her left ear, and Yuna lost her taste. All are all serious things to deal with even if the Doctor says it will come back because what if they don’t? I don’t think the higher ups even know what’s going on with them. Itsuki writing with a notebook to speak is silly and fun, them not being able to do much with the 3 of them just shows how important the others are to the group. Karin’s development is one of my favorite parts of this show; I really like her struggle of what to do because she came to fight and now the fighting is over so where does she go from here? Yuna comes and finds her to bring her back to the club and inspires her to come back and actually want to stay at the middle school with the others, and that is the great part of Yuna; she’s not the smartest but she has so much heart and can inspire others to see more in themselves; it’s an amazing characteristic to have. By the end we have all of them together again all handicapped, and Karin does get to stay at the school, and Fu learns that the don’t have any knowledge that this was caused by Mankai. Still judging by they are handicapped and there is probably more information that the heroes don’t know I can see how this show continues, and I definitely feel another threat coming down the line too.
Yuki Yuna Wa Yusha De Aru Episode 7: So this was a fun episode of them just having fun and being treated to great rewards by the higher ups, now this is great hero treatment. Not really much to say besides their were a lot of silly moments between the cast. Also Togo was right about the Vertexes and more of them with the end with Fu getting their phones back. Well I can’t wait for more. As I sad the last few times this is a great Anime right now and it’s only 12 episodes, so it’s worth a watch.

So the new Yugioh movie has been revealed to come out in 2016 and will focus on Yugi and Kaiba. From the scans, Yugi looks a bit older and doesn't have the Millenium puzzle. Leading me to believe it's a post Duel Monsters story. I hope that it ties into GX a little like maybe Yugi having Winged Kuriboh, Kaiba being in talks to the establish the Duel academy and whatnot.
But honestly, I don't know what to expect from the plot. I want it to be a new villain who's really fleshed out but I hope it doesn't suffer from potiental prequel syndrome, like fighting a GX villain before they were being fought in GX or something dumb. |

Yuki Yuna Wa Yusha De Aru/Is A Hero Episodes 8-12:
Well apparently I am attracted to dark magical girl animes, lol. Here is what I was waiting for, the big explanation on how the hero system works, what happened to them, and everything else. Well they all got new faeries except for Karin probably because she didn’t Mankai, and they were cute and everything. Well alright so after the last Vertex showed up that was like the one Itsuki destroyed before and after Yuna Rider kicking it out of existence, we got the explanation. Now before I move onto my thoughts on that, the fight was really good for the characters because all but Karin were afraid to fight because of losing a sense or part of themselves and Karin knew that so she was going to go off and fight by herself but Yuna motivated everyone so they all went to take it down, cast the sealing spell, and the aforementioned Rider Kick of Destruction on it (Kuuga would be proud.). Now when we get back to the real world Itsuki, Fu, and Karin are together but learn that Yuna and Togo aren’t. They get transported to a previous hero who can’t move and is wrapped in bandages besides one eye, who tells them that when they go Mankai they is a hidden part afterwards called Sange (Falling Flower) That part of themselves gets sacrificed to the god in exchange for this power. So yes this is the dark part of it, the girls unwillingly sacrifice themselves to get god’s power, and as far as I know right now Fu won’t be able to see out of her eye, Togo won’t be able to hear, Itsuki speak, and Yuna won’t be able to taste again because of this. This was really sad and hopefully they find someone to save themselves because I am all full of feels and sadness for them. Obviously the really dark episode was coming after the really light-hearted, super-fun episode. Part of me thinks Togo is this previous Hero’s friend but she can’t remember because of her accident. Well this show got insane and I love it more, I can’t wait for more and will tell you what happens when I continue. 9: Also the most emotional episode so far and I am in tears from it. Fu learns what Yuna and Togo learned at the end of the last episode, and from further experimentation from Togo, they can’t die. The faeries protect them from dying, Togo tried to kill herself 10 different ways and she was stopped each time, I understand that is extreme but that makes sense trying to learn what are the purpose of the faeries. This leads to the emotional part that they aren’t going to get better and Fu learns of Itsuki’s audition and her dream of wanting to be a singer but with no voice she can’t. Fu gets super emotional and wants to destroy Taisha for them deceiving the girls. So the cool thing is they can use their powers any time which is nice to know. Anyways this leads to a fight between Karin and Fu because Karin and Itsuki weren’t told what happened before. Karin trying to stop her but doesn’t end well because Fu is insanely pissed off and motivated but Yuna stops Fu before she can hurt Karin. Yuna says even if they knew the risks they would have still went through with it to save the world because that’s what heroes do. With that and Itsuki coming saying she wouldn’t have had her dream if not for the Hero Club helped calm Fu, well I think she was still crying at the end. This episode just brought a lot of emotions out because as a younger sibling myself I know my brother would feel the same way and I understand that connection. 10: Well time to shatter whatever I thought this anime would end like, but this has been shattering expectations since episode 5. So we learn about Togo and it completely makes sense, why she had more faeries, what happened to her legs, and her memories. That she was a hero before hand and fought the Vertexes and went through Sange multiple times which crippled her legs, and her memories. Also Explains why she has four faeries, because you start with one and gain one each time you go Mankai and Sange. So Togo went through it 3 times which make sense (Legs, Memories, and hearing in one ear.) I was right that her friend was the hero that explained everything from before and Washio was her other name. She explains more to Togo that she goes to see for herself, and that outside of the wall there are an insane amount of Vertexes left and they will keep attacking and they will keep getting disabled. So Togo pretty much says fuck this and blows a hole through the barrier and is determined to kill Shinju (Their God) so they don’t have to offer their bodies any more. The final two episodes look like they will be insane. 11: More emotions and fighting this episode. Well an army of Vertexes that got through because of Togo wanting to save everyone by destroying Shinju. Karin and Yuna go after Togo and end up outside of the wall seeing the hellish environment left of the world. This really affects Karin a lot. Karin and Yuna retreat and get blasted by the Vertexes getting de-transformed. Meanwhile, Fu is still crying from the last episodes and not seeing what’s going on, Itsuki is kicking ass taking down a lot of the Vertexes, when Fu realizes what’s going on she sees her sister protecting her, and smiles because her sister moved in front of her instead of being behind her or alongside of her. So gets up and helps Itsuki fight as they finally fight alongside each other. It’s great for the Inubozaki sisters. Now back to Yuna and Karin, Karin is unconscious right now and Yuna can’t transform because of thinking about what Togo said and is emotional. The Vertexes attack but Karin wakes up transforms and saves Yuna. She tells Yuna she is no longer fighting for the Taisha (The organization they work for) but fighting for the Hero Club. She looks on at the oncoming Vertexes and prepares for battle. She goes Mankai and attacks the super powerful Vertexes that come at her. While she goes Mankai she recites the 5 Tenets of the Hero Club and after going back and forth with Mankai and Sange because of being knocked out of it like 4 times I think, and it doesn’t end well for her. She succeeded in destroying the vertexes but in return she lost the use of an arm, a leg, her sight, and her hearing. She has a really emotional moment with Yuna afterwards when Yuna finds her. She thanks Yuna for giving her something more to live for. Well back to Togo who wants to destroy more of the barrier but Fu and Itsuki stop her. Togo goes Mankai afterwards and tries to destroy the Shinju but learns her power can’t harm it. So she leads the Vertex in to try and destroy but Yuna found her resolve and destroyed the Vertexes attack, and is ready to try and help Togo get back from this way of thinking. This was a very exciting penultimate episode, getting great character development from Karin and Fu. I honestly didn’t think Togo would turn like this but she’s not really wrong she just wants to help her friends, while Yuna wants to help the world so it’s really interesting. I can’t wait for the final episode. 12: Now this is an amazing finale! Yuna stops Togo and convinces her that she will never forget her however during this emotional moment they get attacked by the Vertex and Yuna gets knocked out of her transformation and loses the use of her legs. Togo goes to stop the giant attack the vertex sent by herself. Fu and Itsuki join next, followed by Karin. They all put all of their hearts into stopping the giant vertex, and then Yuna pulls herself together and goes into it’s giant energy form and destroys the Vertex. After the battle Yuna is comatose, Itsuki can speak again, Togo is regaining the use of her legs, and Karin can see and hear again. Taisha tells them that they are done and Shinju doesn’t need their sacrifices anymore. So over time they all regain what they lost but Yuna is still like a statue can’t move or anything with her eyes open. They visit her all the time and talking to her but it takes a moment of Togo’s emotion that really wakes up Yuna. So now it’s the opposite with Togo pushing Yuna now. She gets the use of her legs back and they all succeed in the Cultural Festival and it’s all awesome and emotional. Now yes I know this is the happy ending that I wanted but it took a lot of emotion and they were successful in changing a god’s mind that the god doesn’t need sacrifices anymore (I hope) and the next Heroes will hopefully not lose any physical ability. Overall this is a fantastic anime and one of my favorites with a lot of emotional moments, great character development and awesome fight scenes. Now they interesting part is that the episode ends saying Yuki Yuna’s Chapter, now I don’t know if there will be a sequel or a prequel because Togo obviously has a story from before that can be told. Still I’m going to look into it. Now I am going to post a ton of pictures and try and get as many people I can into this anime because it needs to be watched. Well Now back to my regularly scheduled Toku watching from this nice Anime break.

Yay! A Pretty Cure question!
Okay, I see you are looking for a good season to start off with. I may not be the longest Cure fan but I'd say that a good season to start off with would be HeartCatch. I've heard lots of great things about it and I've watched a couple of the episodes and from what I've seen, it's one of the best and you will love every single character, especially Cure Moonlight and you will love the plot as well.
