Catchup post #1: Senki Zesshou Symphogear 1-4.

Put simply, Symphogear is what you end up with when you throw Macross, Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica, and Xenosaga in a blender.  Girls in music-activated armor fighting monsters that kill humans by turning them into carbon dust.  And you know what?  It works.

Apologies for the long break in posts

I fully expect to start posting reviews again in the very near future.  Some circumstances in real life, however, have resulted in my having significantly less free time than before, so I might need to reconsider the long, detailed posts in favor of shorter reviews.  I'll be playing with posting formats a bit, seeing what I can get out in a reasonable period of time, and maybe covering a few more shows to make up for it.

I can, however, say that Gundam AGE and Guilty Crown will not be covered episodically. The trainwrecks are a little too much at this point...

Guilty Crown - 12

It really feels like a rushed season finale, with the writers rushing through enough material for 2-3 episodes.  Of course, as is usual for Guilty Crown, the story went jumping all over the place.

Starting with the boss dungeon (really a void) forming.

Naruto Chapter 570 (Spoilers)

Oh. My. GOD. Kurama is such a freaking tsundere.

We're kind of surprised (and amused) too.

Ano Natsu Matteru - 01 （あの夏待ってる）

Wait what? this is how Ano Natsu Matteru begins?

"Super mega nose bleed?..."

Guilty Crown - 11

This episode was almost decent...

Dan's a screwball, but at least he was amusing...

Guilty Crown - 09, 10

My favorite part of the episodes? This.
