Just finish watching Shippuden and wow what a journey. So happy for Naruto.

Naruto taught me many things in life

Iruka taught me... not to judge people by their reputations but by their personalities.
Haku taught me... that there is no good or evil when you're protecting the ones you love.
Neji taught me... that if you leave your pride behind you can change your destiny.
Rock Lee taught me... that hard work beats talent.
Kakashi taught me... that teamwork and friendship stand above the rules.
Hinata taught me... that love is worth fighting for.
Sai taught me... that a life without feeling isn't worthwhile.
Sakura taught me... that weakness is a choice, not an excuse.
Gaara taught me... how painful loneliness can be and how love can change someone.
Nagato taught me... that revenge and hatred only lead to more revenge and hatred.
Asuma taught me... how important it is to take care of the next generation.
Shikamaru taught me... that sometimes you even have to do the things that bother you the most.
Might Gai taught me... that it doesn't matter what other people say about you.
Minato and kushina taught me... that parent's love beat all else.
Sarutobi taught me... that problems should be solved with kindness rather than with violence.
Sasuke taught me... that you should not only dream about things but actually achieve them.
Itachi taught me that... sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good.
Tsunade taught me... to never abandon the living for the dead.
Jiraya taught me... that you must never give up your faith in humanity and your hope of peace.
Obito taught me... that it is never too late to revert to the right way.
Madara taught me... that peace is no peace without freedom.
And Naruto... well, we all know that Naruto taught us a lot. but the most important thing is: no matter what happens in your life...

NEVER GIVE UP !!! BELIEVE IT!

Revisited Juuni Kokuki, and Seirei no Moribito on BD
(last time I watched them was on DVD, so quite awhile ago)

No tsundere, no onsen, no pantyshots, no F/G/H cups, no "drill onna", no harem
Just great storytelling! (not that there's anything particularly wrong with what I listed above)


Also, anyone following Netojuu no Susume? Looks interesting, and am glad Megumi Nakajima is back with the OP for this, as well as Fuuka!

Watched the first episode of Boku no Kanojo ga Majimesugiru Sho-bitch na Ken.

It's something.

I got about halfway through the first episode until I decided to go to bed instead. It was... odd. I was halfway expecting the girlfriend to bump into the main character and his "friendly" harem. :p

Sarutobi taught me the inverse. That if your chief rival tries to have you deposed so he can take your position, don't give him a free pass and forget it never happened!!

Which is nothing short of a miracle considering we're talking about Madhouse :)

@Cappuccino : Not sure if you've watched it, but you might enjoy Flying Witch since you're a fan of stuff like Aria and Non Non Biyori. I enjoyed it tremendously, but be warned that it makes Aria look action-packed by comparison! :)

Looks super cute! Im going watch ep 1 today and let you know how it is :D
Thank you!

edit - I am watching Haruhi Suzumiya atm. On ep 16 and so far so good. The supernatural stuff is pretty interesting. Just FYI if anyone is planning to watch this series watch it in chronological order because it's better and doesn't spoil anything imo. If you watch airing order it will get confusing. here http://i.imgur.com/CMaAuPB.png

If you're going to DL it, I suggest either SallySubs' or Kametsu's releases.
Kametsu is a dual-audio version of SallySubs.

DameDesuYo also subbed it, but I don't think they've finished their BD batch just yet.

Can you link me? Are we allowed to link illegal stuff on AT? I watch my Anime on KA 95% of the time.

So, as has become somewhat of a ritual, I've been checking out a bunch of the new anime from this season. For some of these, there are two or more episodes available, but I may've only gotten around to watching the first one.

Anime-Gataris: (Only seen the first episode.) So, this is an odd one where I think I may need to see where it goes to really pass judgment on it. The story quite literally centers around a girl who has a dream where she relived a memory from her childhood of watching an anime, and she wants to find out what that anime was. Well, on her path, she meets people that are otaku and will attempt to restart the anime club at their school. Oh, and there's a talking cat that was in a supposedly locked room. Yeah... I don't get that last part either, but oddly enough, it has me more intrigued than anything else out of the show. :p Oh, and the cat tells you at the end to not drop the show after just one episode. :p

Black Clover: So, I mentioned this show earlier in that it's pretty much the frontrunner for the most annoying anime. The series seems to have some fairly standard shounen battle manga underpinnings, but what really drags it down is an incredibly annoying vocal performance for the main character. To be fair, the character is supposed to be annoying, but the problem with the transition from manga to anime is that in manga, annoying characters are usually reflected through responses from other characters or the way their speech bubbles are drawn. For the most part, that stuff doesn't have any effect on the reader, but an annoying voice performance does. The second episode wasn't so bad compared to the first one, but you still had some. I'm willing to see if it gets better, but I get the feeling that the first episode really tainted it for me.

Blend S: This is an odd one. Imagine Working!!, but instead of a normal family restaurant, it's in a cafe full of women who act in stereotypical ways (tsundere, kawaii ~oniiiii-chan~, etc.). The story focuses on a girl that's looking to make some money to study overseas, but she can't land a part-time job due to an unnaturally awkward (and sadistic) look that she has when she smiles. Well, it turns out that's just what the cafe needs! So, you get to follow all the silly antics of the people involved. The characters are your sort of goofy, over-the-top type, so if that's what you enjoy in a slice-of-life anime, give it a shot.

Code:Realize - Sousei no Himegimi: (Only seen the first episode.) This is another one where I don't think I was able to get a good grasp to know whether it's worth continuing. This series focuses on a band of (sort of?) mercenaries that rescue a cursed girl from the British royal forces. One thing that makes it a bit different is that they use famous people from literature and such as part of the group. The main theif is Lupin and their doctor is Frankenstein. The thing is that I don't know where it will go yet. They mention a shady group working behind the scene, so I suspect that we'll have some battles with them at some point. It could be okay, but there's nothing too special to note yet.

Himouto! Umaru-chan R: It's more Umaru. If you liked Umaru before, you will still like Umaru.

Inuyashiki: This is an odd one where I'm rather curious to see where it goes. The beginning is actually quite depressing. You follow around a 58-year-old man and find out just how bad his life is. It culminates into a scene where he's crying on a hill with a dog that he finds... and he proceeds to get crushed by an alien spaceship. Yes, that was not a typo. :p To "reset" things, the aliens rebuild his body using the only cybernetic replacement they have on board... a weaponized variant. Let's just say that things get rather interesting after that point. A series like this is probably one of the ones that can easily fail if it just never ends up doing anything interesting.

Just Because!: (Only seen the first episode.) There really isn't a lot to talk about with the first episode. It focuses a lot on introducing the main character who just moved during the third semester of his senior year in high school. The catch is that he also moved back in middle school, and some friends from his first school are now at this new school. The series does seem a bit more focused on the drama aspect with some light humor mixed in. It doesn't seem like it'll be a bad watch, but it's just hard to tell.

Juuni Taisen: (Only seen the first episode.) This is probably your big seinen action anime of the season. It features 12 warriors (named after the animals of the Chinese zodiac) fighting to the death where the last one standing will receive any one wish. The first episode focuses heavily on the Boar's backstory and introduces the fight and its rules. It certainly has the underpinnings to be an interesting show... especially if you want an action-heavy show with a bit more violence.

Kekkai Sensen & Beyond: This is a sequel to the Kekkai Sensen series from a year or two ago. The most notable thing about this series is that's from Yasuhiro Naitow, the mangaka of Trigun, which is evident with the inclusion of the kuroneko in random scenes. The show follows the weak protagonist thrust into crazy situations motif, and it backs that up with a lot of crazy characters. Unsurprisingly, the sequel brings a lot of the same. Essentially, most things that other series take seriously, this one doesn't.

Kino no Tabi: This is a remake of an older series, which I have no seen. So, I can't tell you if this follows the plot of the original, but I can say that the episodes have been good so far. The series follows Kino and the Motocrad, Hermes, on adventures to various "countries", which are usually walled states in this (currently) unknown land. There's usually some sort of issue with these countries that Kino ends up having to deal with head-on, and that's usually the main focus of the episodes.

Konohana Kitan: (Only seen the first episode.) As I mentioned earlier, this series is kind of boring. It focues on what I assume is an orphaned fox girl that goes to work at an inn. It spends a bit of time on her getting to know the other workers and usually screwing things up. I guess you could just call this one moe fodder? I might check the second episode just to see if it's worth it or not.

Net-juu no Susume: This series focuses on a 30-something woman who decides to quit her job and become an "elite NEET". Without anything to do, she decides to start playing an MMO as a male character and ends up befriending a female character in the game. The story focuses a lot on the way the two interact in the game, how the guildmates see the main character, and interactions outside the game. I don't want to talk too much about the IRL stuff as I think that's probably the more interesting part of the series.

Shokugeki no Soma - San no Sara: Most of my opinion on this show will probably center around how much time it spends on the festival. In my opinion, the second season focused too much on the competition, and the show felt a bit... stifled because of it. I wasn't that confident in episode one, but I liked the second episode more.

UQ Holder! Mahou Sensei Nejima! 2: In what might be slightly confusing, the show is based off the show Mahou Sensei Nejima, which I've heard of and meant to watch but haven't seen. I do know that Mahou Sensei Nejima is more of a school-based comedy, but the sequel pulls away from that rather quickly as it focuses heavily on immortals in the world. Overall, the first episode has some good action, but the second one focuses quite a lot on whether this one guy is actually a guy or not... and the main character tries to sneak a peek a few times. D:

URAHARA: I don't know. I fell asleep during it, because it was so boring.
