Sakura Trick-Episodes 10-12 Complete
Gintama The Movie (English Dub)
I was very curious to watch Gintama The Movie as it's the only Gintama anime to be dubbed. It was pretty weird to find out it had a dub considering there hasn't been a dub for the show before or since it's release. The movie is just a remake of an arc from the show, similar to Evangelion 1.11, so I'd technically seen it before, I just wanted to see how it the dub sounded. Personally I thought it was a mixed bag. Some of the voices were great like Kagura and Takasugi, some were decent but didn't really fit the character (at least I don't think) like Gintoki and Katsura and some were just down right poor like Shinpachi and Otose. I did, however, really like the visuals. I'm still working my way though the original series, so it's really awesome to see Gintama in widescreen and in HD for the first time. The 5.1 sound was also a treat.
Hello!! Kiniro Mosaic-Episode 7
I have no idea why but the last third of this episode really made me feel. It bums me out that this show is going to end in a few weeks.
Ninja Slayer-Episode 5
Absolutely no sideways on ****** cheap looking animation this week. If it continues like that, there may be hope for this show yet. However, I must say, I still have pretty much no idea what is even happening and I don't know if they're doing that on purpose or not.
Hanamonogatari-Episodes 1 and 2
I've returned to Monogatari after a short break, hoping to be completely caught up by next week.
Ep1: Interesting first episode, especially the ending. Ougi continues to confuse me.
Ep2: This episode kind of seemed to be jogging in place a little. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but only the last 3 or 4 minutes of the episode seemed to actually push things forward. Episode 1 had a set up but this episode didn't really do anything.
