Macross Frontier 09: Of Giant Lolis, and the Boy Who Loved Them

So that’s why Mikhail has a thing for bigger women…And I thought that Klein could not look any more loli.

Well that was much better than last week and the subs came out sooner than anticipated, but just as well. So this time get a bit of back ground on our resident sniper and Class A asshole, Mikhail Blanc. This episode was definitely a step up from episode 8 and does qualify as a leap and bound. A lot more Klein-sama this time around, with Sheryl and Ranka stepping off to the side, in favor of the renowned Meltrandi Warrior.

Macross Frontier 08: Seven Color Carrots Love You, Yeah!

Yeah Team Seven Color Carrots also know how they are full of fail…

So yeah I just finished my convention and turned in my crap-tastic 5 page paper on a short story scarcely 3 pages long, so I finally have a bit of a lull in the drudgery of school work. I lost big time at WHFB so it was nice to have Macross Frontier subbed when I dragged my defeated self back home. In any case animation takes a hit though unlike Shirukii I don’t think that it was unwatchable but it was gratingly inconsistent with Ranka and Sheryl changing colors every so often. At least most if it looks like C grade work not mind fucking ugly, but more like characters growing and shrinking from time to time and use of still frames for some characters. I hope that the budget animation teams gets better and to their credit it wasn’t as bad in my opinion in episode 6 as Sheryl and Ranka largely escaped the ugly stick with a few minor blows here and there. As things go I expected a lot worse, but got something that didn’t make me want to gouge mein eyes out.

Kure-nai Episode 8 – Childhood Memories

The plot develops further as Murasaki and the gang go to celebrate Shichi-Go-San at a small shrine nearby. The Kuhouins approach further on Samidare apartment to the point where Shinkurou and Murasaki will have to flee.

Much of this episode revolved around Murasaki and Shichi-Go-San (basically a holiday for young children) so I won’t go into much of it in my summary.

Code Geass R2, Episode 8- The Million Miracle

Even the dog gets a mask

Oh man, so much lulz in this episode, I loved it. Despite the hilarious but awesome plan, there was a distinct lack of Kallen and C.C. this episode, and for that I weep. I know they had to introduce new characters and spend more time on those that have had little time before, but it still makes me sad. Regardless, a definite watch for giggles and laughs.

Macross Frontier 07: Koning Monster!

Clearly GARby is ready for a Gundam Battleship Fight.

Well this post is extremely late due to work on a weekend and plum in the middle of the week for Uncle Sam. It also does not help to have fallen off my bicycle and banged up my dominant hand as well. Nevertheless this just about makes up for the poor animation we have been seeing lately and boy was it pretty…
