Drifters ep5

Anyone know if there's a pattern to the episode names? Feels like I might have read somewhere that they're all musical references, but I don't recognise anything beyond Men of Destiny being a Gundam op.

Edit: Okay, having looked into this, the chapter titles in the manga were all musical references, although I still don't know if there's any particular pattern to them (unlike Hellsing, where each chapter title was the name of a videogame). One guy suggested they were all OP tracks from classic anime series, but this doesn't seem to be true for all them, as far as I can tell.

Ep5 definitely is though. I didn't recognise it, seeing it written in English, but 'Bring Back Love' is of course, Ai wo Torimodose, or if you like, YOU WA SHOCK.

Ajin: Demi Human-Episodes 11-13 (Complete)

An enjoyable show. The only thing I wasn't so keen on was the fact Kei buggers off to a remote location and does literally nothing of importance for the latter half of the series. That and I wish Izumi got more screen time, the idea of having an Ajin on the human side is interesting, and I'd love to know why she chose to side with them and how she ended up where she is, but all we got was her being Tosaki's lap dog. Anyway, I'll be interested to see S2 and how that goes.

Digimon Adventure 02-Episodes 1 and 2

Thank God they got rid of the awful 'Hey Digimon' song and actually got some rock music this time around.

Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Season 2 episode 5
The Vision of Escaflowne episodes 19-26 (COMPLETE) - gave this series a 9/10. Really enjoyable, would've been a 10 if it weren't for the slightly rushed ending. Still, now I just need to watch the film :).
Lucky Star episodes 1-4 - interesting series, and I like it so far. I must admit, not as much as other KyoAni stuff but who knows, it may grow on me even more.
 
Digimon Adventure 02-Episodes 3-7

I love how the kids from Adventure 01 now look like teenagers barring Joe, who looks like someone's dad

Yuri on Ice-Episode 5

I don't know about anyone else, but the ice skating sequences are really starting to lose their novelty now. At first, I was pretty impressed with both the animation and choreography, but now all the different routines are starting to blend together and look really samey. Not to sound like I'm discounting the whole sport of ice skating, but it seems to be nothing but a spins over and over. Even the direction of these scenes feels identical to each other.

Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu & Kizumonogatari Part 2: Nekketsu:
What on earth was that. The audience laughing at the most unfunny **** didn't help.
Belladonna of Sadness:
Blew me away, a visual/audio tour de force of which we may never see again, a true product of its time, unique and captivating it had me enthralled from opening credits, visceral in its depictions of rape and torture, the images will forever be etched in to my brain, and it juxtaposed with the hauntingly beautiful animation mesmerized and had me spellbound and gasping for air. An experience I won't forget any time soon, one which I was happy to see on the big screen.
The Red Turtle:
:bow: A masterpiece. :bow:
A Silent Voice:
Was alright, nothing too special but inoffensive.

Extensive Belladonna and The Red Turtle review to come.
