Got to the third episode of Kill La Kill. That last battle literally had me yelling "HOLY SHIT" at my screen until the action stopped. I don't usually respond that vocally to shows.

Needless to say, I love it. Crazy action scenes, amazing design all around, interesting concept and plot, some thought provoking symbolism and topics in regards to all the clothing references, great animation with tons of small details and reactive expressions, good humour without being really obnoxious or tasteless, and scantily clad anime babes as a bonus. It's good, to understate it.

Also I may have a slight fanboy-crush on Ryuko. Just, y'know, because they're the protagonist. You're supposed to root for them. And she's awesome. Badass, determinator, spunky punk girl art design, confident in her abilities, bashful, and still manages to be adorable at times. Totally not just because of that outfit or anything. That's a good bonus though.

Darn it anime thread, I had things to do tonight, not watch a marathon of crazy awesome anime.
It is good, yeah. Keep in mind they're making it on a shoestring budget and they're probably doing like TTGL and saving most of the budget for last. They're very good at substituting style for animation fidelity, though. And keep a close eye on Satsuki whenever she appears; she's just as important as Ryuuko is.

In Chuu2 Ren episode 4, the characters briefly visited a restaurant. The sign was a sideways green M, and the sign on the restaurant said "EcDonalds."

Not sure if Engrish, or just making fun of McDonalds.
There's an entire sub-section on TV Tropes listing McDonalds stand-ins in anime. MaskDonalds, MagRonalds, WackDonalds, etc.

I have been catching up for a little bit now and Sakura Trick is better than I could have ever expected. (^༗‿༗^)
Let us hope that Yuru Yuri gets a third season someday~!
Yuru Yuri 3 has already been announced.

I have a hard time understanding what these delays actually are. It's not as if they're making the episodes week by week.

Whatever, I can still watch Silver Spoon.
Studios run all year, producing 12 or 13 episodes per 13 weeks of the year (per production unit, not named "studio"). they are in fact making these shows week by week. Think about it this way: Each anime production studio is making shows all the time. If not the current one, then the next one. And they do in fact need to produce 12 or 13 episodes per studio production unit per 13 weeks of the year. The only thing that changes is how much lead time they have, and it's usually no more than 2-3 weeks.

They do not have the luxury of producing an entire 6 months worth of show before it starts airing. Consider Evangelion, where they went broke before doing the ending and had to have the last two episodes as cut-and-paste filler.

It's also the reason they like doing recap episodes about 2/3rds of the way in for 6 month series, it gives them a chance to catch up, as well as spend more time animating the important ending episodes.

I spent the whole day watching Arpeggio of Blue Steel. Pretty good, too. It was pretty cool to see the various naval combat scenes, throughout it all.

So I started watching Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! It really struck that perfect note of resonant awkwardness without being too cringeworthy, at least thusfar.

Got to episode 17 of Kill La Kill. Dat ending.


Of course, by powering through the series like this before it's over I'm gonna have to wait for the next episodes soon. Still worth it, pretty great series so far.

Don't. You'll regret it for as long as you remember it. Unless predictable harem bullshit and fanservice is what you're after, I suppose. =.=

Looked everywhere for this one, couldn't find it, had to make it.
It has a hitch, but otherwise ok.
