To-Love Ru: Darkness OAD Episode 1: God i love this show. Absolutely no light beam censorship in this one whatsoever, and it was great seeing the characters all animated again, the animation looks even better now.
The Haruna-Cat sequence was so on edge it was practically hentai. Seriously.

I expect every episode will be like that, if it's like the manga. Darkness IS porn, it even has a few indirect lower private shots.

And yet, for some reason, the first manga for TLR was axed... :(

Glad there's no annoying censorship here, would completely destroy it. Hopefully the TV anime lacks annoying censors too.

Randomly decided to watch Tari Tari on a whim.

First thing I noticed at the start of the first episode: the school choir is singing eufonius's "Reflectia", the OP for "True Tears". I was like, "wait, that sounded familiar..." and actually replayed that portion to listen to it again. XD

Well, will continue to edit this post with further comments as I watch.

EDIT: Oh God. That was so embarrassing for Miyamoto...

It wasn't axed actually, the author discontinued it due to a load of drama involving a scheming ex-wife. Regardless, Darkness is better than the original I think, both in terms of plot and ecchi.

I would read it if it didn't lay the ecchi on so thick. Reading the original To-LOVE-Ru right to the end (Oh God were those last twenty chapters or so a pain to read) has made me develop an aversion to excessive fanservice. :/

Well, I wouldn't say that there is MORE ecchi, just that it's better. There's still a lot of tentacle objects and Lala's inventions, but I think it does focus on plot a bit more, especially in the latest chapters. It started off pretty thick but I think it's died down a little

I thought Tokyo tried to lay a ban on heavy fanservice based manga. Almost specifically aimed at TLR, but against a few others as well.

What I recall from when it happened was that it was getting rather low votes in Jump, and added pressure from such a ban caused the author halfass an ending and then eventually move to another magazine. Haven't heard anything about this ex-wife business though.

Yuru Yuri 07: HOLY HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG MY BODY WAS NOT READY
HIMAWARI & KAEDE HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG

Tari Tari 07: I definitely expected this to happen to Sawa, but =[[[[[

Binbougami ga! 07: meh. New character was a bit weird.

One Off 01 & 02: What an amazing cast. Quite a nice slice of life. Reminded me of Tamayura except less dull.

Accel World 19: Felt like trash filler herpderp, especially with the friend coming in and saving the day somehow with no memory of it, but I've read it's from some sidestory, and Megumi actually does have some connection to Brain Burst, it just hasn't been explained yet?

Sword Art Online 07: Good adaptation. Felt a bit rushed, but I don't think it would have been very good if they had split the story in two. Maybe we'll see a flashback next episode to a scene with Lisbeth here. Was hoping for a better explanation on fall damage, since you obviously see them take damage falling into the pit, and the scene just cuts out when they fall from the sky without explaining that they landed in some snow or whatever. That being said, there could have been a bit more narrative from Lisbeth. I hope they do Sound of Water, Sound of Hammer. Looking forward to next episode, I just hope they don't rush this one because it should be very good.

Is anyone else watching Joshiraku? It's a pretty f/punny show.

Sword Art Online 7: As someone who never read the light Novel: Might as well call it Girl Art Online. Its cute and all but.... Kirito's kinda starting to come off as a Gary-stu when it comes to girls. Though this is probably because there's a lot of things being rushed I assume.

It's been said before, but this is largely because they decided to put in side stories from volume 2/8 in chronological order, where as if it was just volume 1 it'd mostly just be Kirito/Asuna rather than Kirito/every girl he meets.

[Hanabira.Kage]

Sword Art Online Ep 7 - I like the way they managed to completely avoid spoiling the reveal in this episode by making the viewers come to their own conclusions about why Kirito wanted a sword with similar stats to the Elucidator.

Judging from the title of the next episode, we'll be moving on to the main story and Kirito will be taking on The Gleameyes. Come to think of it, that boss fight really did occur really early on, but it seemed to take place a whole lot later simply due to the fact that the author needed time for characterization and stuff.

Spoiler

The next episode will have to cover at least Chapter 5 to Chapter 11. The end of Chapter 11 seems a nice place to end off seeing as it's a cliffhanger, so that's probably where they'll end the episode. The problem, however, is Chapter 5 to 10; there's quite a fair bit of content in there, pretty much all tied to Kirito successfully killing a rare Ragout Rabbit at the beginning of Chapter 5 (Asuna forces him to let her cook and eat it, forces him to party her in the 74th Floor dungeon to scout out the boss, jealous bodyguard duels Kirito over it), culminating in Kirito taking out The Gleameyes with "Starburst Stream" spam.

Anyway, the whole rabbit -> duel -> dungeon scouting thing seems a little much to cram into one episode, and I'm not sure they can cram most of it in even if they cut out the scouting and go straight to the boss fight. They can't cut out the rabbit -> duel part because the bodyguard returns with a vengeance later on. I hope they don't cut out the part where the squad from "The Army" gets slaughtered by The Gleameyes because it's what eventually pushes Kirito into berzerker mode and perform the abovementioned spam. My guess is that they'll skip the whole "switching" tactic for the anime and just opt for Kirito going nuts on the boss.

Jinrui Wa Suitai Shimapomegranatea Episode 8: Time Paradog made me laugh more than it should.

The banana-peel time travel arc was surprisingly fun to watch. The protagonist is a really funny character, her thoughts and reactions make me laugh so much.
Western!assistant was funny, and I loved it when she said she was going to sue for him sexual harassment haha

Bumping this thread because I don't think the Fall Season anime have been posted:

Btoooom! looks interesting.

Girls Und Panzer sounds... what the hell.

It's about high school girls, who are battling with tanks for sport.

Medaka Box season 2 and To Love-Ru Darkness! excited!

[FoolsLove]

Well, there's still just over a month until it starts, but yeah.

Not much in the Fall season that interests me, though it does look like they'll generally be better than the last couple of seasons.

WANT. I hope it's at least as good as Upotte!

That pink M3 Lee...
I know they're the main characters, but to be driving a PzIV, presumably competing against everyoneelse's Pz38t, Type 89, StuGIII, M3 Lee, at least make it fair...


I've read what's released of Btooom!, it's okay I guess. It's not all that spectacularly written in my opinion. It's like the author/editor suddenly thought "this story needs _____" and it's suddenly there this chapter. It's supposed to be gorey too, so expect a lot of shadows.

With Hidamari Sketch though, this shall be the best season.

[Hanabira.Kage]

Sword Art Online Ep 8 - Ahaha, I forgot that Lambent Light was white. Looks like they decided to cut out them spotting and hiding from the squad from The Army...not that it's all that important anyway.

Disappointed that they're saving the epic scene (i.e. Kirito and Asuna running for their lives) for the next episode...

Have there been any good movies since like... Summer Wars/Redline or thereabouts?

[Razmos]

Caught up watching Joshiraku and Jinrui Wa Suitai Shimapomegranatea.

Joshiraku: Hilarious, absolutely hilarious. The puns, the characters, the visual gags. This is just one seriously funny show and the OP is so damn catchy.
Loved this part from episode 6:

Spoiler

Jinrui Wa Suitai Shimapomegranatea episode 9: The chronological timeline of this series is really confusing. Is this episode before the 1st arc? it's definitely after the 4th arc because the Apprentice is there, they also alluded to the fact that the Protagonist caused a large boost in the fairy population... which i'm guessing happens in the final arc (only 3 episodes left). Still, this show is pretty cute and funny. It's not exactly memorable, but it has it's charm.
