Eagerly awaiting your JoJo finale writeup. Get to it!

So what did you make of Tamako Market? I thought it was a nice surprise, so I'm glad I watched it. If Wes Anderson took a couple of swigs of oh-so soothing, relaxing NyQuil before watching K-On!, he'd probably have hatched something similar to Tamako Market, I think, haha.

But does it feature a disguise resembling a cross between something either Marilyn Manson or Lady Gaga would wear, and unchi?

...somewhere along the way I found myself kind of enjoying Love Live!

I like your taste!
By the way, why you gave 7/10 to Steins;Gate?

For some reason whenever they break into song and dance, Love Live! amuses me. I don't know why, but I suspect the art has something to do with it. In any case, it's kinda goofy, but watchable for now. I'll stick with it.
I also checked out Tamako Market, and it turned out to be kinda bizarre, which I didn't expect at all, haha. However, I thought it was good-bizarre, in that it had a talking bird.
I've grabbed Sasami-san@GAnbaranai, too.

HahahHAHAhahaHAHAha! You're watching Love Live! Oh wait, so am I. Right now I'm kind of wondering, "what did I get myself into...". Still, it might be enjoyable.
Oh, and you'll have to tell me how Tamako Market is. I might add one more show to my list, but I'm not sure yet.

I checked the page on here for it, and it looked a bit weird...so I had to add it, naturally. Or maybe it's because I'm in a samurai mood, considering I'm watching Samurai 7.
Also, yay for Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai for affirming the weirdo in all of us!

Ah yes, how could I forget Takehito Koyasu?! I'm just rusty, I've not been watching anime like I used to.
This show is quite crazy. These guys have some serious muscles.

My commentary:
I like the art style
woah mask
This kid is 12? That's a very manly child. O o
Where the dickens did Dio come from?
I know Dio's voice! But from where?
JoJo isn't being a gentlemen now. Snapping at the poor girl like that, tsk tsk.
Important briefcase!
Flashy and dramatic, just the way I like it.
Some serious eyelashes.
HOW DARE HE PUNCH THE DOG
Poor Jojo.
Nothing better happen to Danny.
You don't remember the girl? Dumb Jojo.
Pfff, a kiss isn't that bad. I was expecting worse.
Dramatic flaming Jojo!
Where's the father amongst all this yelling?
Okay, don't mess with Elina.
MASK AGAIN
O_O Who was in the burner?
COME ON, it was just a kiss.
WHAT, it was the dog? THE DOG WAS BURNED ALIVE?
I HATE THIS SHOW.
I HATE THIS SHOW.
THAT POOR DOG; I KNEW IT.
The mask is getting uglier.

Actually, on my last post over at theO I was going to write about it, but I had no idea where to start or end, haha. I'll attempt something here, though, so bear with me.
Judging from the last time you watched it, if you tuned in now you might not recognize the story considering the form it's now taken. And what form is that? Well, that's hard to say, actually, since it wants to be everything, yet fails to be any of them in a convincing or consistently enjoyable way.
The latter episodes somehow turned Muv-Luv into a harem anime, where the invading monstrous aliens are almost non-existent to the plot. Making it even more unbearable, the once battle hardened Yui Takamura had been almost totally reduced to an I'm-just-girl-who-needs-a-man character. For a couple of episodes, all she seemingly did was blush. Those episodes were pure male fantasy - if you're a man from 18th century England.
These last couple of episodes I've watched have some twists, but not really striking ones. Oh no, a MINOR, INCIDENTAL CHARACTER did that?! Unthinkable!!! Might as well get some sort of plot rolling by throwing in a MacGuffin.
Oh, and the style now contains 25% more jiggle, bounce and shine. You need that to go with the forced melodrama, I guess.
In sum, Muv-Luv's just seems to be throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks, but it's now far too late to make any of it fully work or even be internally coherent. I've noticed MAL has it scored at 7.06, which is far too generous. As one reviewer here wrote, "Yuuya Bridges is no idiot" - which can easily be achieved by making the characters around him slowly become idiots. Well done, Muv-Luv, well done!

What do you think of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! so far? I hope they keep that whole likeable losers thing they seem to be building on. Please, Chuunibyou, don't devolve into the mawkishness of those who must be saved from themselves!
