To be honest, the Black/White season to me, has been a big disappointment - and I'm a huge Pokémon fan.

Same here. When it first started I honestly thought the overall cast change was going to freshen things up a little, but it really didn't. I loved that they made Team Rocket decent villains, but to then just put them back to chasing the twerps while being smarter wasn't a good move considering that they still lose to them despite their new found competence. If any of the cast needs changing it's Ash, I'm just so sick of him being the experienced rookie, he's been doing this how long now and still doesn't know anything?

BTOOOM! Ep.12

Robotic;Notes Ep.11

Medaka Box Abnormal Ep.11

I actually laughed at the everybody's dead! reveal. Great way to end it, look forward to the next season whenever it'll roll around, I expect a break between them like the 1st and this season.

About a week late to the party, but ye gods, this show...

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure ep11

"Do you remember how many grenades I have pinned to your cloak?"

I didn't quite get all the shouts of "Joseph is the best Jostar!" after ep10, but now I think I'm coming around to the idea.

Next week: there is not enough tequila in the world.

@20thCenturyBoy I think replacing Ash would be a bad idea this late in the game. Yu-Gi-Oh! didn't really recover from replacing Yugi (and now they go through protagonists quicker than Katie Price goes through men). I'd say the biggest weakness of the BW series has been how the rivals have been handled. It's like the writers originally intended for Trip to be like Paul (Pokémon's best rival), but just gave up. Hell, in the Unova League Ash beats him in ROUND ONE!. From what I've heard from people following the show in Japan, the league has been awful.

Burgundy and Georgia had potential to be good rivals; they really do have fun personalities, but they were never developed from being something other than grumbling girls at the sidelines.

Yeah, probably is too late now, far too long established as the face of the show with his mascot in tow (even then that's a stretch for Pikachu now, he doesn't even do anything anymore). Agree Paul has been far and away the best rival, he's the only time a rival (for Ash) has been done right, Gary was pretty much non-existant and I just feel that Trip is just some little kid (thanks Iris) that Ash should be wiping the floor with, he doesn't seem threatening at all.


Maria+Holic Alive Ep.10-12
 
One Piece Ep.230-235

Franky's dub voice...I'm not enthused by it. I LOVE Franky's Japanese voice so I'm kinda disappointed in his dub, it's just too deep for one thing I feel. Maybe it's still too early to say but we'll see when it gets further into the role.
 
Sword Art Online 25
I felt the ALO arc was wrapped up too quickly in this episode to be honest. It was a nice finish though. So hope we get a season 2.
 
Chuunibyou episode 12. The hell was that? I expected a cliche ending, but I didn't expect it to be quite so hammy... The ending narration was hilarious, trying to give off some kind of moral about being chuunibyou.

Large parts of the episode felt like they were borrowing the plotline used in The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, and there was even the revelation of Togashi's very own 'John Smith' moment.

Poor ending to a series that, in my view, started strong but fell away badly towards the end.
