There was a certain thing in the episode that made me say that =3

I'd be breaking the first and second rules if I mentioned it.

Pokémon: The Origin Episode 1
Such a nostalgia trip! It also feels like a lot more care was put in when dubbing this, the quality of the voice actors was a lot better than the standard series (I thought Professor Oak sounded a bit too young though and Johnny Yong Bosch as Brock is weird...Ichigo's voice in a mentor role!). I loved how it even used dialogue from Red/Blue as well.
 
Dragonball GT: series 2 - discs 4 and 5

Finally dragged myself through the last episodes, after finishing up with Fallout 3 again. Thoughts in the rate thread, and time to move onto the first DBZ movie pack.
 
Kill la Kill - ep7

Well, I did not expect Mako to be the best JoJo.

Well played. I was actually disappointed they didn't make any more overt references to that.

Beyond the Boundary episode 7: Looks like the series is going into its final arc. The episode was...quite heart-warming, felt a bit rushed near the end too though. Hoping the final arc has enough to fill it out so that it doesn't just drag out over the last few episodes for far too long and lose any sense of the interesting characters its attempted to build up.

Kill la Kill episode 7: I enjoyed the first half of the episode well enough, but the second half didn't grab me as much as previous episodes. It was a meaningful episode and had a nice theme to it, but for me it lost a bit of the crazy spark and didn't feel like Kill la Kill so much.

Valvrave the Liberator 2 episodes 5 & 6: Couple of nice twists across these episodes, Valvrave continues to impress really and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes with its last few episodes. Alike Beyond the Boundary it feels like it's beginning to wind down now. It's likely still one of my favourites of the year, had a very Code Geass feel to it throughout so far and I think I've gotten more into it because of that.
 
Kill la Kill (Japanese Dub via Wakanim UK) - Episode 7
Samurai Flamenco (Japanese Dub via Wakanim UK) - Episode 6
Beyond the Boundary (Japanese Dub via Animax UK) - Episode 7
Haganai: I Don't Have Many Friends (English Dub via Funimation BD) - Episodes 8 and 9
 
Lupin the Third: The Woman called Fujiko Mine - Episodes 8 - 13

So after putting off finishing so many series for so long, I finally decided to start on finishing some - starting with Fujiko.
This was actually the first series I've seen in the Lupin Franchise, and whilst I did enjoy it quite a lot, I feel that the ending wasn't particularly great. By the end of the last episode I was sitting there like, "Oh, is that it?" I didn't find it very satisfying at all and expected more from it.
I'll admit that the series did do a good job of attracting my interest in the Lupin Franchise, and I do actually have The Castle of Cagliostro which I suppose I'll move onto next.

EDIT: What actually happened with Oscar and Zenigata in the last episode? Did they actually follow up on that or am I already forgetting something already?

As far as I can remember, no - it's never resolved. Oscar survives, but there's no further indication of his eventual fate.

Also, if you're going straight from the Fujiko series to Cagliostro, be prepared for quite a stark contrast in tone...
