Summer 2014 Anime Season

Let's drop the talk about SOA >_>

I dunno Tayiz, at least the TTGL and SnK fandom are funny contrary to all gay shippers of SAO.

As much as I love Inaho being awesome as always, come on Marito, get your shit together. You were extremely heroic (futile, but heroic nonetheless) in ep 2, where be that recklessness nao?

This show need more gattai. Slaine x Inaho flying orange storm of loyalty.

For the record though, I love the whole "Mass Production Zaku triumphing imba Gundam with wits and PHYSICS!" they're going for in this series, but it's pretty much inevitable that Asseylum will magically grant Aldnoah power to Inaho/Slaine some time later, what"s with them feeding us stuff like Aldnoah is passed through genes.


Or maybe, they just want me to think that they're going to give Aldnoah power to Inaho when they never intended to do so. The show is named Aldnoah ZERO afterall...hmmm.


Also, Mahouka hahaha. Trying to wrap up 2 whole volume in 5 episode? Good luck, ep 19 is way too rushed that I can only laugh soundlessly. Well, since Yokohama Disturbance is mostly technobabble, and the anime has already butchered the amount of technobabbles considerably, I guess it could work somehow.

Still should've gone with the winding down episodes of Volume 5 for season closing, to be honest, as the anime is already hyped enough to warrant second season (I think it's hyped enough, with the games and whatnot). Though I would agree that a season finale with Material Burst would indeed generate a ridiculous amount of anticipation.

I saw Orihime got a new design. I thought the reason behind her new design was stupid.

Here's a different reason I came up with.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun is Anime of the Season.

Man, this season is amazing so far. If you aren't doing it yet, you need to be watching;

• Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
  
• Barakamon
  
• Hanayamata
  
• Rail Wars
  

Possibly also Ao Haru Ride and Aldnoah.Zero depending on your tastes.

I haven't watched those... yet.

You NEED to watch Gekkan Nozaki-kun, it is pure gold.
Barakamon is great too.

Also, how is Rail Wars? Been meaning to watch it though I've heard mixed reception from it.

It's about Trains and the Caboose.

And it has a red haired tsundere Hibiki Ganaha. My fav part of the show.

I have a personal bias for cute tsundere characters

Rail Wars is awesome and yet terrible in all the right ways.

Starting the ep tonight!

INAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!



This is code geass all over again.

I like Inaho because he tends to have the same expression that I give to strangers

Remind me to stay out of your general vicinity whenever you happen to come upon an orange Kataphrakt.

wait what, is the next episode of P4G seriously going to be named "It's cliché, so what?".

Thank you for you help. Now, it's time to have your reward

I didn't expect him to shoot though.

Pseudo-gattai huh, that's enough for me. Definitely love the Koumori-Orange banter, it's Buddy Complex all over again (S2 when???), and it's pretty cool that both of them can understand the intentions of each other like seasoned soldiers when they're just a pair of friggin' teenagers.

I...certainly didn't expect a battleship to be the first thing Asseylum bestows Aldnoah to. Truthfully, when I saw that red Kataphrakt, I hoped that Marito finally stops being a pussy and murders shit.

This is what I expected as well, though in hindsight, they badly needed a floating battleship.

cough gundam cough

That leaves the question of who will be piloting the Red Kataphrakt. I'm guessing it would need to be someone with the power of Aldnoah to activate it properly.

Something crazy could've happened through which Marito gained the power of Aldnoah, but that seems very unlikely. The princess needs to power the battleship and I doubt her aide is tuned to Aldnoah.

Either someone (inaho?) is tuned to Aldnoah by the grace of Asseylum, or it is going to be Slaine. He had no trouble using that audience chamber. You would think that means he has the power of Aldnoah as well.

If Asseylum so wish, she can give all the crews Aldnoah power, but of course, that would be a severe betrayal to her grandpa and would make the war more disastrous because all humans are bastards, no exceptions.

I surely hope that it's not Inaho getting the Red Kataphrakt, he needs something orange.


Holy shit Trillram was voiced by Takahiro Sakurai, I did not expect that.



EDIT: goddamnthisshowaaaaaaaaaasdfhkjryrhjr;g. I knew he kinda tripped the flag halfway through, but man laser sword beamed?

New mecha is too majestic to hate tho. I've always loved Black/Red color scheme, but this one is complete with gold crown for supreme dominance.

Aldnoah's ending.

Holy smokes. "Bad guy" turns good but dies before doing good. It's sad... he appears to die as I gain respect for that character. It takes a lot of strength to acknowledge that the guy you almost beat to death was right and you were wrong all along.

Never before have my feelings been voiced this eloquently.

SAAAAAAAAAAAZBAUM!

Episode 8's ending was just, wooooaaaah, man. Everything got flipped around in such an extravagant and satisfying way, and then flipped around again immediately. Left me reeling.


As an aside, Marito is still completely irrelevant and utterly frustrating as a character. Yes guys we know he's a war survivor with PTSD that prevents him from fighting or doing anything useful ever, but will probably be key in the plot later on. We get it. Stop. Staaahp.

Yeah Marito get a grip. 3 or so episodes of PTSD I can understand, but other than episode 2, in which he spectacularly follow up a knife jab with gun shots in a feat of awesome determination and experience, he's been reduced to a know-it-all I-told-you-so pussy. Come on, give me Martian Kataphrakt piloting badass Marito already.

Wow I... Wow

Saazbaum...

Rayet!

I...

Wow.

I really like Aldnoah Zero so far.
