    now onto the episode - that angst right from the start

    Mari having a chance to study abroad...so that she can forget how to speak japanese even more!

    See this is why I'm fine with yohane as a chuunibyou char. They eased me into her completely by joking about her 90% of the time and her wanting to stop at the start.

    Wow kanan had the deepest voice as a child

    HIOUGI - UNSUBTITLED SKILLS

    zuramaru is my spirit animal

    I love kanan's ponytail...and the angst returns

    HAH THAT CLASSROOM SCENE...YOU HEADFIRST FOR THE UNIFORM YES

    Dia in a super ruby pose during the grappling rofl

    *Glass breaks* chika confirmed a banshee, like honoka's weather control

    Hah her realizing she's talking to third years like that after the fact...

    ZUBI

    dia being a hidden ruby...my god this is too great

    zuramaru holding back yohane during the entire speech

    my god kanan the ultimate tsundere

    and my god the yuribaiting in this love live is too good to ignore

    hnnnnng third years ++++ in my book

    I always loved yukata-themed like uniforms like these

    OH SHE CHANGED UNIFORMS MAGICALLY...only noticed during dia's due to red theme

    See at least dia has a character besides scared of anything that moves...

    Same with Unified, I'll look into this. Kind of hyped considering this is the only anime I'm looking forward to watching in the Fall.

    You haven't forgotten about my S&W post, right, @Neichus? I know you're busy, just giving you a friendly poke.

    Curious as to what your rebuttals/comments will be.

    I've been reading so much manga lately. Finally got a decent app to work on my phone.

    Started off with Ao Haru Ride. It's pretty decent. It's different from my usual fare since it's a shoujo. Some of the scenes seem like it's a 13 year old girl's fanfiction. The lines, the art and the way the guy is delivering the lines.

    Seems like there is an anime based on it. Anyone watched it?

Had some great visuals from what I remember, sort of water colour backgrounds.
    Not to steal your thunder buddy but I also enjoyed the anime. It was one of the first shoujo anime I watched and it holds a special place in my weeb heart. I've never read the manga but I think I gave the anime a 7/10. Futaba is an underrated girl honestly.

    Told someone to watch Gurren Lagann if he wanted to see a Shonen-style anime with actual character development compared to DBZ.

    He insists its bad.

    How do I redeem him

    Kill him and say he never watched it.

    Ah, the cliche redemption in death, I like it!

    Um, school started and everything else fled from my mind. I've thrown myself more into this year than I have any previous year yet my appreciation of what I can do better has also grown, so unfortunately it has given me a sense of running in place for the last two weeks. I've hardly thought about anything else.

    I mean, again, I don't mind waiting, just seeing if you were going to post when you're able. I get you're busy, don't sweat it.

    I think my post came off wrong. The first sentence was supposed to be sheepish, because I did forget something I was planning on doing.

    If I could simultaneously help several students at once that would be a blessing. The ESL population in my school is surging and I'm worried about my ability to help them.

    ----------------------

    Alderamin 8 - Better than the last couple of episodes. Apparently there were plenty of death flags for Kanna, but I was oblivious to them so I personally was surprised that she perished. I appreciated that Itka did not magically save the day at least once as well, although the transition was jarring. "We'll make camp here for two days." -> quick scene swap with no indication of time passing -> "Shall we attack now?" Took me a moment to realize that they had intended to show that two days had passed.

    Also in before the predictable outrage of the generals toward Itka that he didn't rush to the aid of the fortress.

    ...About that...

    Spoilers for Bleach obviously- Unless I missed something, they really just glance over it, it ends up though that the pink haired girl was his sword all along, and his bankai turns him basically super saiyan, except with red skin instead...? That's pretty much it, he passes out after because "It was too much power", and...yeah. The coolest Bankai reveal was probably Kisuke's in my opinion

    Yeah pretty much. I'm 100% on that part, it's the actual effects that I'm a bit hazy on the details of.
