Watamote (Japanese Dub via Crunchyroll) - Episodes 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12

Episode 8 was probably one of the better episodes of the series, because they brought back the Umbrella guy and her little sister went Yandere..
Episode 9 was okay but she can't turn into a crazy cat lady.
Episode 10's transition to the opening song was flawlessly awesome, wasn't expecting that at all. But that song near the end was so heartbreaking that it was all a dream for her (I presume the song was a reference to the Key visual novels cause it reminded me of one of Clannad's songs).
Episode 11 was a nice change (similar to Ep. 8) but that hug scene was hilarious "Since it's come to this, I may as well touch her butt." The hug at the end was very sweet.
Episode 12 was rather depressing (thinking about my 18 years of life thanks to this episode), like the entire series.

Overall the show is rather good but the main problem is how depressing it is and how the otaku character is portrayed, true it's quite realistic but by doing that it might upset people especially those in Japan. Judging by the BD sales, this show is done.

That's actually what I think is so great about Watamote, it's simultaneously incredibly hilarious yet actually quite tragic. It really hits close to home the way Welcome to the NHK also did for me, I wouldn't have it any other way. Best OP of the year too!

I did plan on getting NHK as a Birthday gift from someone but the post in his area was a bitch.

I also enjoyed the ED song alongside the OP. The transaction in Ep. 10, epicness.
 
BTOOOM! - Episode 1 (Dub)/Episodes 2 + 3 (Sub)

In the first episode the main character and the enemy guy sounded okay in the Dub.
Unfortunately I found myself switching tracks pretty much instantly in the second episode due to the crappy acting and Brittany Karbowski being cast as Himiko (which I saw coming a mile off). As I've said before, she such an overused VA to the point where you just know which roles she will be cast in - whether it's a good choice or not.

I don't think Sentai have put out a good dub this year other than Dusk Maiden of Amnesia which is a shame.
Their Video quality could also be improved too, especially during dark scenes where there's always really bad banding. I do wonder if they just shove the video through a preset encoder to a 4.3gb filesize.
 
Shakugan no Shana Second: Episodes 1 - 3.

I liked it, dunno why. It just felt like the right time to watch this, after having it for so long. Seeing cherry blossoms in the depths of winter was a pick me up.

Maybe that was it.
 
Valvrave the Liberator - Episode 21

That was a really good episode.

Gundam Build Fighters - Episode 9

Biobooster Armor Guyver - Episode 5
 
Kill la Kill 10

Golden Time 10
To sum up:
Tada: I love Linda...wait, Koko, you'll let me do you on the beach? I LOVE KOKO!

Kill La Kill episode 10

Tokyo Ravens episodes 8 & 9

Strike the Blood 10

Galilei Donna 9 - Quietly sitting as one of my favourites this season, just really hope it has time to wrap everything up nicely.
 
Wolf Children (DUB)

I'm not quite sure what to say about this movie... It was just amazing... I'd highly recommend viewing it at least once.
The dub was also very solid, so props to Funi for that.
 
Servant x Service (Japanese Dub via Crunchyroll) - Episodes 10 and 11

I have no regrets regretting to watch this show since the amount of regrets that one of them has regretted is un-regrettably funny to watch. He needs to regret deeper.
