Tokyo Ghoul 05: This episode really put this show into the region of bad. It seems like there's something missing. MC is worthless still, and literally proves he's fodder by showing the only thing he's worth is fuel for Touka. I also hate Miyano Mamoru's voice under the vast majority of circumstances, and having him stroke his boner while smelling Kaneki's blood stained panties hankerchief doesn't help.
What's missing would be an entire arc that develops the MC, it's pineappleing depressing that they chose to skip it and it makes no sense outside of them wanting to burn through the source material fast because it's only 1-cour. Seriously the arc they skipped is what made the MC likable in the manga in the first place. jfc.
This is one of the worst adaptions of a manga i have seen in a long time.

Re: Currently Airing Anime
Jesus christ, Hanayamata is the cutest show this season, episode 5 was just an overload, Naru is so adorable when she gets emotional.
Glasslip 6
At least one of these people has some pineappleing balls. Figures that he gets hit twice in one episode because of it. I would say they are giving some pretty clear ships now, but not if nagiasu is any indication to how this anime will go, I can see one of four to five things happening in order of most to least probable;
David and Touko, not-really-incest, Sacchi and Hiro.
David and Touko, not-really-incest, Sacchi dies and Hiro commits suicide.
beta brother and Touko, Sacchi and Hiro, maybe Yanagi and David.
Sacchi and Touko and nobody else.
EVERYONE DIES, then time travel reset end where nothing pineappleing happens
I guess I should probably put "nothing pineappleing happens" as the first one, because that's the most likely with this studio.

Tatsuya took a sniper bullet through the heart without flinching, instantly homed in on the sniper's perch and killed him before he could reload. I watched SAOII 6 first and saw Kirito cut the sniper bullet in half at point blank; Oniisama always has to win at everything, doesn't he?
Rokujouma 5
Sanae seems much cuter after this episode.
Spoiler
Yurika >>> Sanae >>> landlady > the other two > MC's generic sick friend. But we all know generic friend is going to win.

Hanamonogatari: Pretty good story. Love Kanbaru Suruga. Dem spats. hnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggggg. Numachi Rouka was a great character, and it's always nice to hear Asumi Kana, especially in a different kind of role like this one.
Spoiler
As I was watching through this, I was hoping for a happy yuri end for the two of them. muh heart strings. Super bawwww ending, especially with the final scene of them falling together and Suruga's realization. And then that pineappleing ED. Jesus Christ why would you do that to me ._.
Aldnoah Zero 07: The efficient ruthless pragmatism. I like how this sets up for so much more drama. I don't particularly like how they've gotten their own Aldnoahboat though.
Hanayamata 07: So much drama, not enough dancing. We're 7 episodes in and they're still 4/5 for their club... =[
Rail Wars 07: Sexy. I love Aoi. Can't wait for the bloodbath though.
Locodol 06~07: The mascot fights were pretty funny. Loved the muscular mascot rekting everyone. Yui is adorable.
It's astonishing how they're getting away with this. Ami's upper back. Usagi's waist. Rei's...
Also, Tuxedo Mask literally raped her.

Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya 2wei! 6: gotta love her mom
Sword art II 7: Trap kirito doing what trap kirito does best.
Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance 6: Started off strong now it's starting to die down a bit :\ Not much we haven't seen before, genre-wise... so that might be a contribution. His holy sword is great though :D

Terra Formars OVA1:
Was an alright adaption i suppose, a bit weird BUGS II is adapted in 2 parts with one part before and one part during the airing of the anime itself.
Looking forward to the anime itself!

Ugh, CR is removing q few shows (Gosick) that I haven't watched yet, and I don't have the time too.
Fate/Illya 8: Ah, the plot has started. But god damn it, stop teasing the beach episode....
I really hope this gets a third season, that is when the actual serious Fate plot kicks in full gear.
There has been a lot of trap characters this year, with more to come in fall. Wonder if the trend is switching from moe lolis to moe traps.

Re: Currently Airing Anime
Been chugging through some fun shows now that I realized I could be using the crunchyroll app all night in bed. Yowapeda is a super fun sports show. All the characters are lovable, ridiculous guys who would fit right in with any action show characters. Would recommend even if you don't normally spring for sports stuff. It's basically a character-driven shounen action show on bikes.
I also caught up on Irregular at Magic High, which I thought would just be harem-y bullpomegranate. But it isn't and I like it.
I just got all excited when I noticed there was a new Tenchi Muyo series this fall. Then I saw it was gonna be 5 minute shorts. But there's going to be 50 of them, airing on an actual TV channel. That's just as much content as a normal, one cour show. Why not just make a normal, one cour show?
To that end, it's time to watch Mushi-shi S2 and Chaika

HaChaPC 31: Did not disappoint like last episode, it really reminded me of Rikka and Ira from last season, I like where all this is going though, there is enough drama to run a whole train of things.
A g K! 10: Pretty good with staying with the manga, even if not all chronologically, but still good to see the action, next episode is going to be a treat for sure.
Now I have to wait a whole season for that beach episode. Damn teases.

Re: Currently Airing Anime
Havent done thin in awhile but near end of season analysis:
Aldnoah Zero: its painful to be Slaine. woman stolen from him, terrorist is considered ally and guy who lends helping hand is enemy. 2 Massive armies basically not in your favor.
Sailor Moon: Jupiter is best yes
Dramatical Murder: Why did I watch a show whose primary audience was Fujoshi again?
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun: the lighthearted comedy that I'm heavily enjoying. Chiyo's design is <3
Glasslip: its really slow
M3: I sometimes forget this is mecha with all of the melodrama
Mahouka: Based tatsuya is just being based Tatsuya
Gundam-San: Oddly has more fanservice than the normal series in the matter of minutes
Rokujouma: I know theres a massive following for Yurika Best girl, but as long as its not Tulip, im fine
Sengoku Basara Judge End: Animation studio change killed the show for me. still kills the show up to this point
Argevollen: pomegranatety mecha
Space Dandy S2: That Scarlet X Dandy Episode man D=
Tokyo ESP: Show that tried to hype with a moderately interesting beginning. course of the show is pomegranate tier
Yugimonz Arc-V: still better than zexal
Zankyou no Terror: Because Terrorism is the theme for the season

Re: Currently Airing Anime
Rail Wars! 11: Abomination. This was not a kind episode for the eyes.
Tokyo ESP 08: ^
How to overrun budgets. It's disgusting that they air this type of pomegranate. /* And then don't even bother animating it :3 */
Glasslip 10~11: I have no idea what the pineapple this show is about. Is it about being boring? Forced drama pomegranate that no one cares about? Unlikeable as pineapple characters? An incoherent story that doesn't seem to always connect between each episode? Being artistic and avant-garde with those terrible still frames for no reason between transitions? This is probably the most mundane and uninteresting thing I have ever watched.
Hanayamata 10: Speaking of forced drama. They really push it each episode with this. I'm not sure why, but the way the drama plays out annoys me. Something about the style just seems off, and maybe it's because of the style of the show that the drama doesn't fit it. At least I know that this is a show about cute girls doing cute things.
Haikyuu!! 23: Now this is dramatic. Each episode is always so tense. It's absolutely amazing. One of the pinnacles of sports anime, being able to make that tension in a game.
This has to be on purpose now, because the vast majority of the episode was fine with their extra week.
Aldnoah Zero 10: I really loved how episode 9 ended off because it actually made me question whether they were going to go down that road. It wouldn't have surprised me either. I'm somewhat expecting that Orlane survived, lived on earth, had a family, etc. and that'll come back and pineapple him up /* inb4 Inaho is their kid */ because Urobuchi. Also inb4 2nd cour because Urobuchi. Anyways, despite how overpowered as pineapple Inaho is for whatever reason and how pomegranatety that makes the show because everyone else is absolutely garbage tier being carried hard, this is one of my favourites this season. OP/ED are too strong. Full version of A/Z is amazing, despite the atrocious random English homonym substitutes in the lyrics
Fate Kaleid Liner PRISMA ILYA 2wei!: herz! pineappleing why T_T MUH SWIMSUITS MUH BEACH MUH SUMMER MUH KUROOOOOOOOOOOOO The pacing wasn't as bad as season 1, but they still barely fit everything across 10 episodes. Probably could have been 9, but that would mean 1 less BD volume right?
Akame ga Kill 10: Esdeath makes me so hard.
Sword Art Online II 10: Sinon makes me so hard. The last few episodes have been really well done. I think this one really highlights why Phantom Bullet was good. Still hoping for Mother's Rosario so Asuna can actually get some real character development before everyone forgets about her again in Alicization ;_;
I don't think I have a comment on anything else.
Oh, I don't think I ever mentioned it, but holy pineapple that cat episode in Majimoji Rurumo. I didn't think it was possible to be that brutal in a comedy, but god damn, that was a dagger through the heart. Had to shelf the show for 2 weeks after that.
Anyways. My 2TB HDD died yesterday, destroying all my music, anime, and porn art. RIP. It's a weird (read: dreadful) feeling having it all disappear. Aside from the music, there wasn't really anything that I archive, because I rarely have the time to rewatch things, but I had a lot of backlog on there that I wanted to get to eventually. I guess 5 years is pretty good for a WD Green with 99% uptime as the primary torrent dump though, all things considered. That being said, my 1TB is older...

Re: Currently Airing Anime
Majimoji Rurumo 10: This episode was fantastic too. It'd be great if this actually changed Shibaki, but I'm not holding my breath.
Haikyuu!! 24: HOLY BALLS THAT WAS INSANE. Fantastic series. I hope the second season doesn't take too much.
Mahouka 24: Daamn Tatsuya cutting people up. This had a slow start, but it's been amazing since that episode with Tatsuya sniping those guys. The fact that pretty much everyone has their own pairing is great too. (You're awesome, Tatsuya, but you can't get all the ladies) I hope it gets a second season.
Happiness Charge Precure 32: This episode was pretty good and the shots were beautiful. Toei's been doing a fine job these last 3 weeks. I've been watching Precure since Smile (+Heartcatch's re-air this past year) and there's always this kind of slump during the third quarter, but I haven't been feeling it this time! The love thing really spices up the show.
Aikatsu!: So much love goes into this show. 2 episodes left until Akari's takeover! I hope Ichigo and friends appear regularly.
Also, I really hope Aldnoah.Zero does get that 2nd cour.
Aaaand, 3 weeks left until the Fall season! Hyped as pineapple for Unlimited Blade Works, Psycho-Pass, Yowapeda, and Trigger's second series! Also looking forward to more Chaika, WIXOSS, Mushishi, and DATABASE. I'll also give my first try into Gundam with Reconguista. Cockroaches OVA was great too. Looking forward to the series.
ALSO SHIROBAKO, HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT SHIROBAKO. THERE'S PLENTY OF SERIES ABOUT MAKING MANGA, BUT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ONE ABOUT MAKING ANIME AND IT'S FINALLY HERE YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Waiting to see how Toei pomegranates all over World Trigger. I don't like the manga that much, but I always thought it would be a great series if it got a good anime adaptation. I was surprised to see it getting one before AssClass (which I like way more and I'm really hyped for the anime), but any hope I had got crushed when I read Toei was going to make it.
Jesus pineappleing christ tokyo ghoul might just be the worst adaption i have ever seen.
2/10 absolute pomegranate. Didn't even get to the one scene i wanted to see animated.

tokyo ghoul 12: Uh well nice to see they uh stepped back into ep 11 cuz well I'm just going to forget ep 11 happened because I think it was horribly done.
Having read the manga I don't know what direction they'd go for a 2nd season since well the ending for the manga was pretty much trash.
Majimoji Rurumo 11:Fushigi fushigi rurumo is full of surprises. I don't want this to end =(
