And right when I thought that Haimura wouldn't be saying his "I remember" line, they sneak one in during the last minute of the show. Bravo.
Just a spectacular end to an amazing first season for Akatsuki no Yona. This was my biggest surprise of the season/s and got me hooked on the manga as well (all caught up to Chapter 74). Loved the introduction of Zeno (completely like his character) and that Hak x Yona moment at the end was awesome (although I liked it slightly better in the manga).

I'm pumped for the upcoming OVA. I think that I already have a decent idea of what part of it will at least be about (Kija's "love" scale).
Hopefully, a second season is announced after the OVA comes out. And I need my new scantalations in the manga. Being ~30 chapters behind sucks :(
Oh, how I love Venus and Chibiusa. Thus, this episode made me a happy Sailor Moon fan.

But damn, that was a long ass letter. Great show and a fun/feels-filled ride most of the way although the last third got pretty bogged down. 8/10.
I look forward to the OVA.

"The Last Man on Earth" has been an absolute riot so far through the first 3 episodes, adding its own unique comedic twist on a classic premise, and looks like it will continue to go strong throughout its first season. Will Forte is back taking on a slightly different persona from his usual MacGruber and channeling a bit of his own Tom Hanks in "Castaway".
While the first episode takes on a more serious tone, the second episode is where things REALLY take off and the show comes into its own comedically. Give this show a few episodes to see what it is really about.
Will Forte and Kristen Schaal have an instant chemistry that leaves me cringing and smiling at the same like classic "The Office" episodes featuring Michael Scott's best escapades. I can't wait until more of the rumored cast members show up and add even more wrinkles.
One last word. Fox, if you dare go "Firefly" on this show and cancel it early, I will not be pleased. That is all. Go watch this show now!!
Bow chicka bow wow. Tusk gettin' it IN with Ange. Finally. He da man.
And I liked the bit of sobbing and feeling down. They didn't drag it on too long. This was definitely a lighter transition episode for the final conclusion. My body is ready.
The Phil-Carrol dynamic is just pure gold. I could feel the cringe each time. It was glorious.
And I'm so happy that they didn't waste too much time into introducing January Jones at the end of this episode. The next one is going to be EPIC especially with that little preview. We all knew the "dilemma" was coming and it looks spectacular.
I loved the scene between Tsubaki and Kousei. She finally took the first step. And just when you thought that the death flags couldn't possibly increase, A-1 stepped up their game once again. RIP Neko-chan.
Yuki's specialty is her ass. Mmmhmmmm and with that that wedding dress lingerie... Basara is a lucky man. And my gawd, dat plot (and by plot, I mean actual plot; although the "plot" is great in this show as well).
Yona's eyes this episode... She is one "fiery" woman. Hak, wife that up ASAP.
This was THE episode where I thought "The Last Man on Earth" really took off and came into its own. This episode set the tone for what I think will be a fantastic series. The introduction of Kristen Schaal's character added a hilarious dynamic to the whole situation. Her chemistry with Will Forte was immediately apparent. I could feel Phil's (comedic) "pain and suffering" and it made for some serious laughs. I was smirking throughout this one and the last dinner sequence in particular had me dying. This was a superb start to a very intriguing series. I've got my hopes set high and I can't wait for next week's new episode.
This first episode was defined by a great performance by Will Forte who did a masterful job of combining his well-known comedy with a more serious and darker tone stemming from his situation of being the "last man on Earth". While it wasn't exactly the most unique and original idea in the beginning, this was all done to setup the fantastic second episode where I thought this series really took off with its own brand of comedy and different take on the classic formula. I'm really looking forward to this show.
Damn. The desperation was real during this episode. Those chicks want "it" from Kou sooooooo bad. Respect.
Not a bad series. A relaxing SOL watch with nothing too complex to think about. It's more about the comedy and Mashiro-tan than anything else.
Oh my GAWD! What an awesome episode but dat ending! Please don't be true. Momoka and Tusk!!!
"Just when I thought that the singing was out, it pulls me back in!!"
And dat cliffhanger... will most likely not be that big. Just like this entire season.
Cross Ange is a masterpiece. AOTS. No scratch that... Anime of the Year.

Nice episode again. Poor Kaori-tan looks like she is about to get owned but is giving it one last shot. Also, I always love when the rivals get together and this one was a memorable shindig for sure. And, of course, the obvious question...

This is the most emotional anime that I've ever seen in my life. Probably my favorite anime ever so do what ever you can to watch this ASAP.
A second season is officially coming my friends. So f'n based. What a great year for anime sequels. Keep em coming Japan.

Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai is a fantastic and heart-warming SOL that really hits home on the importance and strength of family. As Yuta's deceased sister says, "Family must not be separated, they must be together" and the show does a superb job of illustrating the struggles and joys that Yuta and the girls face as they try to stay together through all their hardships. This is very similar to Usagi Drop and a definite watch if you liked that at all. The story is relatively simple but this is all about the great characters. I loved all the girls but there is one that is heads and shoulders above the rest... HINA!!
This is a masterpiece. Simple as that. Definitely in my top 3-5 animes of all time. This show has everything (comedy, romance, drama and, of course, tons of action). You fall in love with all of the characters and every side story and character really gets developed over 64 brilliant episodes. Don't think. Just watch.
This is a great anime about true friendship and how the love of a single thing like jazz can spark something that will last a lifetime. The relationships that are developed in this show are amazing and I love how jazz is so intricately woven into everything. A must watch for sure.
This is probably one of the funniest and most heartfelt animes out there. This is a great reverse harem show and you literally fall in love with almost every single character. They start out as your basic stereotypes but everyone has an amazing backstory that is expanded upon. Also, Haruhi is the best.
This is one of my favorite slice of life animes with cool twists with Haruhi essentially being a god and there being time traverlers, aliens and espers all in the mix. The first season is magnificent and while the Endless Eight is brutal to watch all the way through, the rest of season 2 is still great too. Just watch the first 2 and last 2 episodes of EE. Haruhi is probably one of the best female protagonists that I've seen with her energy, impulsivity and overall passion and Kyon is the perfect foil to her craziness. Each episode is entertaining and a joy to watch over and over again. And the movie, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, is just brilliant and makes up for the disappointment of EE. You'll need to watch the series (and make sure to watch it in chronological order, not the season order) to get the movie, but it's completely worth it.
My Bride is a Mermaid is definitely one of the best comedic romance/SOL animes that I've seen. It's primarily a parody based comedy and, my god, does it do a fantastic job at it. From Die Hard and Terminator to other anime shows, they really covered their bases here from Western & Eastern pop culture references. I can't even count the number of times the ROFLcopter set off. If a particular joke doesn't hit, don't worry. Another one is soon to follow. The characters are very memorable and the whole yakuza theme never gets old. The romance is there but not too heavy (which is a good thing IMO). The dub is also well done so watch it whichever way you like. It has a similar sense and style of humor to Baka to Test (also awesome) with a greater focus on parodies. I highly recommend this for anyone just looking for a straight-up LMAO comedy. Also, don't forget to watch the OVAs.
