The Ubiquitous What Are You Watching Thread?

Youtube has footages on Gosick. You might want to check them out.

UQ Holder
Year 2086: 80 years after Negima and Asuka's story, Evangelina McDowell aka Yukihime has become a teacher. (It's implied everyone else is gone, too)
Tota Konoe, Negi's orphan grandson, has visions of him calling him to climb the orbital elevator. In order to get permission to leave the village he has to defeat Yukihime. Yukihime is his foster parent but sucks at house work.
I gonna watch this for a while and see. So far it hasn't disappointed yet. It's a bit bloody and on the undead bandwagon, though.

thanks.Now that I have audio I might do that.

Monday watched episode 1 of Vampire Princess Miyu OVAs:
Himiko comes to Kyoto to help a couple whose daughter has fallen into a comatose state.
There is a story of vampires haunting the night. Himiko meets the girls boyfriend and they talk.
Later she has her first encounter with Miyu.
The next day Himiko goes to a shop and buys a charm to use against Miyu but it proves no good.
Miyu transports her and the boy to the netherworld that is her real home.The trees are covered
with orbs that turn out to be the souls of people.
When Himiko comes to she finds herself in the park again near a swing set.
The boy is totally unaware of his surroundings.
Going back to the house of her clients,she finds it in shambles and the couple disappear.
All that is left is the girl who suddenly rises like a marionette on strings.
Miyu and her servant Larva arrive and Miyu explains it is the work of a Shinma and orders
Larva to create a box to hold it.
The Shinma comes out of the girl and begins to attack but Miyu defeats it.
Later Himiko is in the park when she sees a group of girls. One of them looks like Miyu and she
points to the boy now listlessly sitting on a swing and tells the other a legend featuring him.
Himiko sees them walk pass and hears Miyu's laughter..

Tuesday episode 11 of K-ON! Season 1: The girls have to go back to the music store to
get "Geetar" cleaned and have new strings strung because Yui has neglected proper care (she says
she sleeps with it and dresses it up but Asuza says that's not what they mean).
Because Mio is a lefty she refuses to go in because instruments are made mainly fro righys.
That is until Ritsu points out that the store is having a Lefty Festival meaning there will be plenty
of instruments made for left handers.Mio goes into ecstatics and refuses to leave.
The clerk working on "Geetar" says it'll be $50 but Yui forgot her money.Tsugumi to the rescue again
!
Later Yui says she has to meet Nodoka for tea and Mio wants to go to because she's in the same class.Ritsu cons the other two to spy on them but gets jealous because she feels Mio is abandoning her for Nodoka.
Later her playing is listless,and she runs out of the band room.
She doesn't show up again and Sawako sensei blames it on Mio who finally decides to apologize
only to find that Ritsu is home in bed with a cold.
She comes to Ritsu's house and they make up.
Later everyone is ready to start practicing for the school festival under their new name:
After-School Teatime...and then Yui starts sneezing!

Wed. episode 2 of School Live this starts with Kurummi recalling the day the infection began as she was talking with her senpai on the track team trying to get the courage to tell him her feelings.
She wakes up shaken from the memory.
That morning Yuki announces she has a one-on-one class with Sakura sensei.
While she is gone Kurumi does her morning patrol and finds a female zombie on the other side of the barrier.
She throws a bell at it and it goes after it while Kurumi climbs across.
As the zombie attacks her she sees the cell phone that belonged to it when it was still a living girl.
She kills it and says: "Good Night."
Later she joins Ri on the roof who tells her she should have just left it alone.
They watch zombies chase a soccer ball around and debate whether it's because they're following
the sound or if there's a residual memory of the last thing they were doing before they died.
Kurumi wonders if there was anyone running track when it happened and feels guilty because she
was the track manager.
Later Yuki comes back and tells them Sakura sensei told her about doing a Test of Courage for Summer break.
Ri takes the opportunity to get more supplies and they head for the school store and library.
Miki worries about the light attracting the zombies but Ri says it's ok because the store doesn't have an outward facing window.
When they're done they go to the library where Ri wants to pick up some more math books,when
Yuki asks why she replies because Yuki needs to work on her math.
Yuki and Sakura sensei look for manga when a zombie attacks.The other girls distract it so Yuki can escape and Kurumi kills it.
Ri praises Yuki for being cool headed enough not to move from where she was or say anything.
Later that night Kurumi has the same dream..

Th. episode 2 of Himouto!Umaru-chan Umaru's big brother is surprised to find the apartment nice and clean,and then finds out that Umaru has invited Ebina to study with her.
Later he discovers she has put everything in the bathroom!
Sunday Umaru is decides to trick her brother into getting her a new game but she falls asleep from having an all nighter playing games.
He decides that they have to go grocery shopping but she plans on doing one of her patent fits to get him to buy the game for her.
At the store they meet Ebina and they all wind up having lunch together.This means that Umaru
can't pull her stunt which makes her madder.
When she does however they are both surprised that Ebina ignores it,but then they realize it's because she's from Akita and the accent is different and she's still not used to standard.
Ebina lashes back to when she first came to Tokyo and how everyone stared at her; in fact
Umaru's brother was the first one to look her in the eyes! (she is totally unaware of the fact
that people stare at her because of her rather well endowed breasts.)
Later Umaru and Ebina are walking home from school when they're given pamphlets about a
rock-scissors-paper contest(yeah only in Japan!)
Umaru gets her brother to enter with her and he ends up in the finale against Ebina.
Because of her nervousness he wins but gives the prize to her.
Umaru is in a snit because she wanted it so he ends up ordering for her...

UQ Holder
After catching up to the latest episode 4 I gotta say there's not much in common with Negima.
It fact it's just another brawn young-male-hero fighting his way through an evil world type of show. It's the same as with any fighting anime. I predict it's likely be a long running anime a la One Piece/Naruto and/or end up unfinished.

Violet Evergarden
An upcoming anime next year. This is probably the most awaited one right now. The PVs and CMs look very promissing.
Yeah, we are back to female cyborg/android trying to find her place in the world a la Key, the Metal idol or Gunnm.

Captain Future
The english fan translation of the show is half way complete. I'm going to try to reserve time to rewatch one of the best scifi show there is. With all 4(5) languages available to me I pretty much will have a complete collection.

It's still a mystery to me how the french could get a jump on licensing the two best/legendary shows (CP, KOR) in their category despite being latecomers. And still at least a decade ahead and still counting in the case of CP.

CP? My mind is a blank sorry. Glad someone has gotten around to licensing KOR again
though I wonder what darling sounds like in French.

Friday watched episode 3 of Bubblegum Crisis,Tokyo 2040At work the next day Linna can't
believe the fact that she even was able to 'kill' a rogue Boomer in the simulation.Later she meets
with Nene about becoming a Knight Saber.
While they talk a waitress Boomer spills some drink on a male customer and he angrily yells at her
to 'lick it'. She does so.
However the command causes a logic loop in the Boomer's programming.
Sylia has Linna's suit completed and ready for a try out when they get there.
She warns her that it will be too cold at first and Linna reacts to the touch of the suit.
Priss is riding her motorcycle when she comes across a crowd gathered at the resturant.
The Boomer waitress has gone out of control and reverted to it's natural state and attacking
a customer (same as before?) with its 'tongue'. Priss informs Slyia and she sends a still unprepared
Linna and Nene to help.
But Leon and his partner from the AD Police arrive at the same time...

Saturday episode 1 of Girls Und Panzer(dubbed). Ok, I get confused with the opening because
it starts out with the battle against Darjeeling's school and then goes to Miho waking up and getting ready for school.At school she meets Saori and Hana.They have lunch together and talk about what clubs they want to join.
Later as they get ready to go home the school student council president stops by to talk to
Miho to convince her to sign up for Tankery.
She refuses and thinks nothing of it.
The next day there is an assembly where the student council announces the resumption of Tankery
as an elective (Yukari and Mako are both shown in the audience).
Miho is still adamant of not signing up but instead writes in "Incense Club" for elective club.
The other two decide to also join the same club because even though they want to join the
Tankery team they know it would make Miho miserable if they were to continue to talk about it
in her presence.
Miho is paged to the Student Council Room.
Saori and Hana go with her.When the Student Council demand she sign up for Tankery Hana and
Saori defend her. But she finally gives in.
Later the new Tankery team assembles and they are shown the tanks. Everyone is astonished when
Miho walks forward and puts her hand on one of the tanks and comments..

Sunday episode 1 of Monster Mususme aside from the obvious boob fetish I really enjoined it.
It starts out with Miia coiled around Kurusu,he tries her to get up but since she's a reptilian demi-human(Lamia)it takes her longer to warm up.
After an misadventure with the bath tub in which she nearly drowns him Kurusu changes clothes and starts to make breakfast.
He's shocked to find Ms Smith( is this a reference to The Matrix? anyone know?) sitting at the table demanding to be fed.
She also reminds him of the rules.
Then she leaves(eventually).
Miia and Kurusu go out on an outing. She's happily singing "a date! a date! a date!" when they
round into a couple that make fun of her. She's about to hit them with her tail when Kurusu
remembers the rules and allows Miia's tale to hit him instead.
Later they find a lingerie shop that deals in underwear for demi-human females.
Miia is happy because they have clothes for Lamias.
She wants Kurusu to help her try on some bras reminding him that Ms Smith said he had to be with her at all times (and I don't think that's what it means! )he is of course embarrassed and
rushes out of the changing room only to notice he's grabbed a piece of something.
Miia leans out and demands her panties back!
Later they are chased by a crowd and the only refuse is a love hotel.
Ms Smith and her Monster Patrol find them and she admits sheepishly they found them on Twitter.
The night ends as the day began with Ms Smith suddenly arriving...
Next episode Centorea and Papi...

I meant CF.
In France KOR is called "Max et Compagnie".
Kyosuke Kasuga (Maxime)
Madoka Ayukawa (Sabrina)
Hikaru Hiyama (Pamela).
Hikaru calls him Max instead of darling most of the time. In italian it's delizioso [delucio].

Monday watched Sakura Wars An old retainer of the Shiguji clan comes to Tokyo to
bring Sakura home.Unfortunately he interrupts the girls in the middle of rehearsing for their next
show.This leads to Sumire getting pissed as usual.
The retainer goes to talk with General Yoneda who is an old friend. Yoneda reassures him that
Sakura is doing alright.
Meanwhile the dark forces are gathering preparing to undo the next seal.
Unknown the Flower Brigade continue their prep for the new show. Sakura works with Maria to help
her with her tempo and timing of the dance.
A small disaster arises when it is discovered that Sumire's name has been misspelled,this leads to everyone working together to paste the correct kanji on to the billboards.
This happens at the same time as Sumire wanting to go home but is rebuffed by her father.
Finally everything is ready for the new show.
the audience is ready to be entertained as the girls arrive on stage.
But danger awaits elsewhere...

Tuesday episode 12 of K-ON season 1. Yui is delirious with fever. It looks like she'll not
make it in time for the school festival.Ui disguises herself as her older sister and nearly fools
everyone;except her playing is much better than Yui's and the band sounds a lot solider.
The other girls wonder why when Sawako-sensei points out it's Ui.When asked how she can tell
the difference between the sisters,she replies that Ui's boobs are bigger!
Yui finally shows up but still has a cold.
Mio orders her back to rest until she feels better.
She also asks Asuza to take Yui's place as lead guitar.
Later Nodoka tells the band about a time when she and Yui were little and Yui went and collected
a bunch of crawfish and put them in the bathtub.
She tells them that that's the way Yui always has been...when she's focused on something she
forgets everything else.
The school festival arrives but Yui doesn't have her beloved 'Geetaa', so Sawako-sensei offers her
her axe but she says she can only play 'Geetaa'.
Sawako-sensie agrees to stand in for her until she can get back.
As the girls play their first number with Mio on lead vocals Yui rushes back home and then to school.
Finally reaching it at the end of the first number she climbs up and thanks the others.
Then she tells the crowd about their goal and how playing for them is like fulfilling it.
The band breaks into Fuwa Fuwa Time with a repeat of the chrous at the end.

thoughts: only OVA 1 and 2 left for this season.
and as for favorites:
1.Mio
2.Asuza
3.Tsugumi
4.Yui
5.Ritsu
for the non-band members:
1.Ui
2.Sawako sensei
3.Nodoka
4.Geetaa...can a guitar count as a character?

Wed.: cue the theme for The Twilight Zone and Rod Serling's narration:
"Submitted for your approval, Megumi Sakura, a newly minted high school teacher,
whose lesson plan will take a sudden field trip into: The Twilight Zone!"
Episode 3 of School Live pretty eerie at the ending.Mainly seen through the eyes of
Sakura-sensei for a goodish part of it.
It also shows why Yuki,Yuri and Kurumi all survived: they were furthest away from whatever
toxin was blowing in the wind.
So the ending implies that Sakura-sensei is still alive and in the basement and hasn't turned yet.
Comment: Once the missiles start falling on the infected parts of the city I got wondering two things: 1)was the military behind it? and 2) is it possible that School Live and
High School of the Dead might be in the same universe? doubt it but it would be interesting..

Th. watched episode 3 of Himouto! Umaru-chan this is the episode that establishes Umaru and her brother are the children of the head of the Doma corporation.But IIRC from the wiki it states that they're actually the children of his mistress.
Anywhos this focuses on Scary Girl(tm)Mobota.Evidently she gets a rep for being scary because in
reality she's totally shy around people.
She also has no idea that "Komura" Umaru's "little sister" is really Umaru and wants to learn from her.
I would say that Mobota is one weird girl but then again I have yet to see a Tachibana episode.
So like is Ebina the only normal girl in this entire series so far?

Death Note (2017) (live action) is out
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Note_(2017_film)

There are so many Live action I lost track:
So there are
Death Note (2006)
Death Note 2 The Last Name (2006) (best)
Death Note 3 L Change the World (2008): filler for L's missing last 20 days from 2nd movie
then the 2015 show, new cast, L is kind of sadist
new story~reboot
Death Note - Light Up the New World (2016)
then the 2016 show Death Note: New Generation

Are you talking about the American version that just aired or a newer Japanese live action version?
I have the first two original live action Japanese movies and love the way Ryu tells L toward the end:
"You're no fun!"

Friday watched episode 4 of Bubblegum Crisis,tokyo 2040 Priss is pissed because Slyia decided to use Linna even though she's far from ready. Linna makes a visit to Priss to find out what drives her.
Later Leon continues his investigation into the Knight Sabers by tracking down Priss; lotta good seguing between Linna working out and Priss singing.
It's also revealed that Linna was a star athlete in school.
Leon confronts Priss outside in the alley but both end up getting alerts about a new rogue Boomer...

Saturday episode 2 of Girls Und Panzer The new teacher for the Tankery course arrives and much to Saori's chagrin is female. She immediately embarrasses Miho by pointing her out and asking about her sister Maho.
It's decided that the club will have a war game, the object being to see who can be the top tank
crew.
The girls in Miho's team choose straws to see who the leader will be (since Miho doesn't want the role) and Saori wins. A lotta trouble with Hana not being able to get the tank in gear at first, but they're finally able to take off.
Unfortunately they're the target of two other tank crews and when they finally get out it's not
long before they find a sleeping Mako in their path...

Sunday episode 2 of Monster Musume introducing birdbrain Papi the Harpy and Centorea 'Ceres' the Centaur.The Papi scenes were really I think because she's so innocent and
bird brained!
Miia at first is more tolerant of her because she thinks she's just a kid until Ms Smith tells her
Papi is really her own age and the fact is Harpies age slower because of evolution and the whole
thing about flight.
After that Miia really gets pissed in a kindly way and makes sure that Papi knows who is the alpha
female in the house!
Meanwhile Kurusu has to get more groceries and is run over by Centorea. It also happens to be
in the same place a lot of purse snatchings have occured.
One thing leads to another and the two of them track down the thief.
Centorea looses her sword and the thief picks it up wanting to kill her but Kurusu steps in the way
only to find out it's a fake (the rules say no weapons).
He's later surprised to learn that riding on a centaur is their equivalent to rape and so when Centorea shows up again profusely apologies but is surprised when she begins to apologize to him
because she's decided he's her new master!

Monday didn't watch anime but saw Abbot And Costello instead. The episode revolved around the boys trying to get something to eat and how Lou has a thing about meatballs.
Funniest bit:Alexander 4444 where Lou is trying to make a call 2 blocks down but the operator keeps telling him: "I'm sorry sir, the line won't connect."
Meanwhile other people in their apartment are able to make long distance calls to places like
Italy and poor Lou simply wants to make a call 2 blocks down the street and can't!

Tuesday Extra Episode 1 of K-ON! Season 1: this revolves around the girls doing various things on a really cold weekend:
Tsugumi gets a new job.
Asuza cat sits
Ritsu takes her brother to the movies
Mio decides to go to the beach for inspiration for her next song
Yui and Ui decide to make hot pots.
Nothing goes according to plan:
Tsugumi gets an order wrong and spills a drink on her trainer.
the cat Asuza is sitting coughs up an hair ball and she freaks not knowing what to do.
Ritsu gets what she thinks is a love letter only to learn later it's some lyrics that Mio wanted to show her.
And the beach is too cold for Mio.
They all end up meeting up at the fast food store that Tsugumi is working at.

I meant the amercian movie.

The fan translation project for Captain Future is coming a long at a nice pace. Too bad the audio of the japanese original version isn't very attractive. Story wise the show is only now being caught up by recent media. I still think some are still not covered yet, though... Should I start a review series for the show?

Garo - Vanishing Line
Another Garo show. The franchise has as many lives as Power Rangers... This version takes place in NY. The character set is basically the same. I think it's an attempt to appeal to non-japanese viewers.

Wed. episode 4 of School Live basically Miki's backstory. It also tells how she came to
have Taomaru when the other girls finally find her at the mall.
The irony here is if her friend Kei had been as patient she might've survived as well.

Th. ep. 4 of Himouto Umaru-chan and now we get around to Tachibana who makes
Yuki from School Live seem sane in comparison. Tachibana is so deluded in her one sided
rivalry with Umaru!

With this I think it's between Ebina and Mobota for Best Girl.

Friday watched episode 5 of Bubblegum Crisis,Tokyo 2040 so it ends up that the whole
Boomer incident at the factory was a set up to trap the Knight Sabers.
They do manage however to stop the rogue Boomer,but when they're making their escape Linna's
battery in her hardsuit finally runs out and she begins to fall...

Saturday episode 3 of Girls Und Panzer After Mako demonstrates her ability to adapt  and learn quickly the rest of the girls want to have her as their new driver. But she refuses until Saori 'convinces' her otherwise. Meanwhile a test match as been decided upon with St.Gloriana's.
Thus introducing everyone's favortie tea drinking pseudo-Brit:Darjeeling!

Sunday episode 3 of Monster Musume: with three girls now living at the house Kurusu
has his hands full(or so it would seem).Then Smith gives them the news that the Inter-Species
Authority or whatever is thinking of making it possible for intermarriage between species.
She suggest Kurusu choose one of the girls for a test case.
This of course leads to one restless night and him getting banged up* in the end and looking like a mummy!
(She forgot to tell him a full moon really makes them go all hormonal!)

* i don't mean in the fun way either!

Blade of the Immortal (2017) live action movie
It seems to tell the whole story.
Hmm, I thought there was one already. *shrugs*

Fate Grand Order - First Order
An anime movie for the game of the same name(?) with total new and old hero characters. Meh.
These past years the franchise had created so many shows I lost track and interest. And I haven't heard nor see much good in any either...

Yeah same here.

Welp got around to e-mailing Sentai about K-ON!season 1 so at least they'll know about the problem with disc 2.

Monday I watched episodes 22-24 of Adventures of the Mini-Goddess in the first Urd and Skuld try to help Gan-chan's love life and in the second and third the Goddesses decide to form a rock band.
Of course dissension soon hits the ranks as per normal Urd and Skuld wind up arguing and then
play pranks on poor Gan-chan!

Tuesday the end of season 1 of K-ON! with extra episode 2. The girls get a chance to play a real live concert date with a couple other bands at a teen night club.This is thanks to one of Ritsu and Mio's friends.
They also have to learn the ins and outs of playing at a night club.
btw:first impressions: those punk girls looked totally hard core but they did turn out to be rather sweet after all.
Also this episode reveals that Sawako sensei's name is actually:CATHERINE? or was that her stage name?

Well it looks like all is well with the K-ON! problem, Rightstuf said they will be sending a
replacement disc and I got an offer of a 10% discount whenever I order directly from Sentai.

Wed. saw ep. 5 of School Live continuation of episode 4. The girls arrive at the mall to
get more supplies but have enough time to just be girls and try on some clothes which they add
to their supplies.
Yuki and Kurumi come across Taomaru.
When Taomaru acts oddly and starts to bark,Kurumi goes to investigate the cinema only to find
a group of child zombies.
Yuri suggests that they were left there for protection but one of them must have been infected.
Later Miki hears Taomaru and rushes out but too lately as the others have already left the building.
Yuki hears her screams and runs back in followed by Kurumi and Yuri.
Yuri uses the alarm they got at the electronics store to stun the zombies and they manage to rescue Miki.
Later she asks if they "saw a girl about my age." But they all shake their heads no.
Comment: I wonder if the zombie who tried to get into where Miki was hiding was Kei as I doubt
she could have made it out considering the number that the girls had to navigate by just to get in.

Th. ep.5 of Himouto!Umaru-chanSummer time: Umaru as her UMR persona is at the arcade
when Tabichana challenges her to a contest.They play various games together,most of which
Umaru notes are cooperative ones; but Tachibana is satisfied she's won and asks UMR to help
her defeat Umaru!
Later Taihei finds Umaru resting with the ac up and Mobota fanning her.He lets in the hot air.
After taking a bath Taihei suggests that Umaru go shopping with Ebina for new clothes as she doesn't have many outside clothes,but adds only for clothes.
Umaru,Ebina and Mobota all go to the mall together.However Umaru winds up with some cheap
looking clothes because she couldn't resist the new game.
Comment: this episode shows Taihei's work place.
Comment #2: Mobota scares the salesgirl at one of the stores the girls visit even though
all she's doing is looking at her girl crush...Umaru!
(Yeah Mobota could scare squirrels gathering nuts just by watching them...)

Friday episode 6 of Bubblegum Crisis,Tokyo 2040 Sylia dons her hardsuit again to save the other
Knight Sabers.Later Mackie makes his appearance.
Sylia spends a lot of time explaining to Henderson,the Stingray family butler about Mackie,even though
Henderson knows for a fact that Sylia is an only child.
The ending was pretty hilarious with Nene chasing poor Mackie around after he accidentally opens the wrong door and gets a peek at the girls as they're changing!

Saturday episode 4 of Girls Und Panzer the battle with St.Gloriana's.With the current commander's battle plan falling to bits just as Miho predicted it would she finds herself in command of the surviving tanks.
She leads them into the city for a bit of urban combat and manages to destroy all but one of
St.Gloriana's tanks.
Unfortunately that tank has to be the one commanded by the school's overall ciommander:
Darjeeing!
The result is Oorai girls are forced to do the infamous Anko dance!
Later Hana is disinherited by her mother for taking part in tankery.

Sunday episode 4 of Monster Musume This is the introduction of Suu the Slime.
She shows up all unexpectedly in the water curious about things. Papi is the first of the roommates to make friends with her as the others discuss the problem of the Slime.
Kurusu gets the idea of putting the raincoat and boots on her as they are the only water soluble
clothes he can think of.
Later Papi takes Suu out to play and Kurusu discovers another side of Pap.
While they're gone Smith pays a visit to the house but Miia doesn't warn Kurusu in time!

Monday re-watched the episode of Please Teacher that centered around Mizuho and Kei's
first real kiss.A lot of misunderstandings and embarrassing moments on the way.At one point
Maho even threatens Kei because she thinks he's been cheating on her beloved Big Sister.
And then when Mizuho comes across them at the end when she thinks Kei's kissed Maho and gets all emotional.
At the end Kei makes it up with his wife by kissing her,and she still manages to get all emotional about it!

Tuesday episode 1 of Flying Witch I can see why some people compare it to Kiki's Delivery Service,very nicely animated,etc.
Makoto and her cat Chito arrive in Aomori prefecture to live with her second cousins.She's there so that she can attend high school while she becomes a full fledged witch.
Unfortunately there is one problem:she has a rather bad sense of direction and so needs help
to navigate even the streets of a small town!

Comment: it's hard not to love Makoto from the get go as she comes across as very sweet,a bit
ditzy but kind to everyone she meets.For instance she wants to give the mandrake to Nao as a sign of their friendship.

UQ Holder! ep. 08
So Negi is still semi-alive somewhere waiting to be saved by his grandson. For some dangerous/dark reason the people in the know won't support a speedy progress. And since the matter becomes critical in another 20 years there's plenty room for the show... Seeing how the show is so similar to all the other unending stories a la One Piece/Naruto I'm not surprised. I don't think it's worth it after all.

Shoukoku no Altair
is still going on but I don't feel like watching either. The connection to real world history is quite apparent. There's too little innovation. Overall it doesn't feel right either like things are going halfway while trying to fit for a younger audience.

This whole season is meh

Wed. episode 6 of School Live this was the one I did for my preview watch so I already
think I said all that I needed to say about it,other than now it appears it and episodes 4 and 5 form
so type of trilogy that center around Yuki and Miki working on a picture book project.Then it goes until a flashback when the others ask about Kei.
Episode 6 picks up from there and ends where episode 4 begins.

Th.episode 6 of Himouto! Umari-chanTaihei gets the day off and Umaru is jealous because she still has school but he reminds her about the fact she already had Summer vacation.
Later he decides to split the room in two so they both can get some privacy but it doesn't work out.
Finally Umaru has a birthday and even Tachibana has some flowers to give to her(OTOH: what's
with the fish that Mobota gift wrapped for her?

btw:the Sentai DVDs come with the Banquet Mondays specials as disc 4,I've been trying to see how many there are and how long they long but can't find much info.

Friday episode 7 of Bubblegum Crisis,Tokyo 2040,an underwater Boomer suddenly attacks and
the Knight Sabers go into action once again.Because Linna's hardsuit is still being worked on it's

Mackie manages to fix it and radio the problem to Slyia and the others.
Just as Priss' suit starts to shut down Nene manages to distract the Boomer and Priss extracts it's

The mystery deepens later as Leon talks to the wife of the worker who was using the Boomer.
It turns out he died in an implosion months before the Boomer went berserk..

During the first part Saunders seems to know every move Oorai makes until Miho realizes
they've tapped into their radio signals...

Sunday episode 5 of Monster Musume Agent Smith sends some men to work on the Kurusu

they really could be in trouble,so they hide.
A girl in a wheelchair starts careening downhill but Kurusu saves her just as she crashes.
