I saw Evangelion 3.33. THE FEELS

Like wow, throughout most of that movie I felt uncomfortable at how completely everyone ignored Shinji. How were any of these people surprised when he behaved the way he did?

Beelzeub is a very entertaining show. I watched it while it was ongoing, though you might find 60 episodes to be a bit too long.

Anyhow,

[spoiler=Shingeki no Kyojin]I don't think the Ape Titan is anyone we know, because he wasn't aware of the 3D Maneuver Gear, nor did did he know that humans were aware of their weak spot.

I do think that all titans are just humans transformed, but only a small minority of them (Eren, Annie, Ryner, Berthold) retain their intelligence and have other interesting features. Eren being one of them is most likely because of the serum his father injected on him. The other three are all from the same village, so maybe they were doing some big research and had those three injected. After all, those three are the best of the best fighters from their village.

I wasn't a fan unfortunately. They really built things up in the second movie to be something really awesome, and then they just threw it all away for a mediocre "twist". I felt for Shinji through the first half, but once he learned what was going on and STILL was too stupid to realize anything, I lost any of the respect I gained for him. Asuka was a G as usual, though it would have been nice if she would have put her anger aside to at least explain some things to Shinji. Kaoru was also a G, but his passiveness at the end was annoying because he really could have went about things better. But hey, that's Eva for you right?

Valvrave the Liberator is still the anime of forever.

We FINALLY got some great ERU ERUFU again.

Oh I started watching Hajime no Ippo with my little brother. I admittedly don't know too much about boxing except for what I've learned watching some fights and playing Fight Night, but Ippo's character development and the inspirational moments in this show make it so good. I see why it's so highly touted now.

Also watching Major (baseball anime). Seeing as I love baseball, I've been really enjoying it so far as well. Managed to get some of my siblings into it.

Also started reading Suzuka. It's a high school romance manga, but it's much different than your average one. I'm pretty hooked to it right now.

If you aren't watching Valvrave you seriously need to start. Or wait until it's finished I GUESS.

[spoiler=Valvrave ofc]So that's four of the "Golden Seven". Place your bets on who's getting the purple Valvrave and the two secret units. I'm gonna be boring and guess that L-Elf and Shoko are getting the secret units and that the hikkikomori will get purple (and make it her new fort). It would be a damn shame if L-Elf and Shoko didn't get to be in the next season because it's taking place hundreds of years later or whatever.

Edit: Holy fucking shit Attack on Titan chapter 46. Eren is like my favorite protagonist ever. Not because he's particularly likeable, but because holy shit is his insanity just completely hilarious. I love it.

Edit 2: Like seriously I am just staring at page 34 laughing my ass off right now.

Not really "watching", and not really "anime", but I think it was made in Japan? The new Mysterious Cities of Gold episodes. I was all "EFF YES NOSTAGIA!" then they just had to use a certain plotpoint that had me almost scream because it was a remake of a scene in the last episode of the first season...

Shingeki episode was slow this week. Felt like they stretched things way too long and nothing really happened.

Another solid Valvrave episode this week.

[spoiler=Valvrave predictions]

So Thunder and Senpai guy got two of the Valvraves which was expected/10. I'm also thinking NEET girl gets one because she's been pretty useless so far (but just about everyone has). ERU ERUFU SHOULD get one, and Shoko probably will too because she's the ~main heroine/love interest~, but I like the ojousama girl better so she should get one to become useful.

On Gargantia:

Why is Ledo so traumatized about killing the whalesquid upon finding out this truth but seems to have always been fine with the Galactic Federation euthanizing the weak?

On Gargantia:

[spoiler=Gargantia stuff]

Well Ledo never really thought about things outside of his job until landing on Earth. He never had the need to actually make decisions for himself, and think for himself. He's an innocent guy and thought that this entire time, what he's been doing was saving mankind. Now that he knows the truth, it's more than just killing the whalesquid, it's basically taken all his morals and reasons for living and threw it down the toilet. Now he's lost, and it's the first time he's had to actually think for himself and not had someone else tell him what to do. Well, it seems Chamber's helped him reach a conclusion, but based on that ending, it seems like we're gonna learn even more about what's going on.

Idk how they're gonna end this in only three episodes

Wait wait whoa what

On Gargantia:

Maybe because he wasn't personally murdering those weak people by squeezing them until they popped like a people balloon?

[spoiler=Gargantia]I'm guessing it's because exterminating the whalesquid was his entire purpose in life whereas euthanizing the weak was just stuff that happened that didn't directly involve him and were supposedly necessary in order to achieve that primary objective.

Man I haven't done this in a while.

Helios's Spring Anime 2013 Week 10 Power Rankings

1. Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan): First slow episode this week. Other than that, I don't think much more needs to be said about this show.

2. Valvrave the Liberator: This is just so entertaining. They're starting to hint towards a ~plot~ too. Wonder who the last three pilots will be.

3. Suisei no Gargantia: Last couple episodes have been really good. Things are picking up. Wonder how they're gonna end this smoothly in three episodes.

4. Hataraku no Maou-sama: Even when nothing really happens in this show, it's still pretty good. Big sleeper series this season.

5. Yahari: Biggest sleeper of the season. Hope they make a second season. Not much romance, but great characters and some good comedy from time to time.

6. Henneko: Been kinda up and down lately, but last episode was pretty solid. I think the supernatural element and comedy are pretty good.

7. Railgun S: Finally getting some solid esper action.

8. Date a Live: This is actually pretty entertaining.

9. Hayate no Gotoku Cuties: They're kinda screwing up some of these manga chapters which is disappointing.

10. Devil Survivor 2: This show is slipping. Went from kinda cheesy to really cheesy pretty quickly, and the action doesn't make up for it anymore. Characters are static, plot is predictable, and there isn't really anything else to make up for it.

11. Photokano: If there was more than one episode per heroine, this would actually be comparable to Amagami.

12. Red Data Girl: Only watching this because I hate dropping a series when I'm close to completing it. I didn't expect much and it still didn't reach my expectations.

[10:10:17 PM] Mr. Snake: show why did you do this
[10:11:00 PM] annoyed: I guess the one thing is that Saki could have bitten him at any point to stop it, I don't know why she didn't
[10:11:37 PM] Mr. Snake: maybe some part of her wanted it? idk. don't want to try and explain it
[10:13:08 PM] annoyed: we'll see if that was just horrible writing in a horrible scene or if there was actually a reason for it
[10:13:26 PM] Mr. Snake: inb4 this is how the valvraves are made
[10:13:30 PM] annoyed: the show is still about vampire rapists regardless
[10:13:48 PM] annoyed: also cain said he's gonna die if he can't get to the module
[10:13:54 PM] annoyed: maybe he has to have sex with haruto???
[10:14:00 PM] Mr. Snake: that would be
[10:14:05 PM] Mr. Snake: vaguely hilarious
[10:14:23 PM] Guillermo: its anime, of course she secretly liked it
[10:19:38 PM] annoyed: uguu
[10:19:45 PM] annoyed: someone on SA put it pretty well
[10:19:46 PM] annoyed: " Well I can no longer recommend this to anyone yay! "
[10:20:37 PM] annoyed: I guess it'll all depend on episode 11
[10:20:52 PM] Guillermo: nope
[10:20:52 PM] annoyed: technically speaking they can do this not completely terribly I guess
[10:20:53 PM] Guillermo: it's already happened
[10:21:14 PM] annoyed: at least it wasn't meant to be porny or fanservicy or anything
[10:21:34 PM] Guillermo: stiiill rape
[10:21:57 PM] annoyed: I mean, I admit to loving Kara no Kyoukai even though one of those movies starts with a rape that sort of focuses on the woman in it
[10:22:04 PM] annoyed: sooooooo
[10:22:07 PM] annoyed: relatively speaking
[10:22:16 PM] annoyed: this is already better than that

Did not like the DeSu 2 anime at the start. Why? Because they defiled canon and basic rules for SMT lore. The demons should gotten they're asses kicked before they joined. I HATE IT!

And I watched Space Runaway Ideon. By the way, Watch the series and the second compilation movie. You'll get more out of the story that way.

WTF VALVRAVE REALLY?!?!?!

That scene just came out of nowhere, and felt incredibly unnecessary. That little CC lookin girl was laughing the entire time too lol. Saki wanted the D badly though, I'm guessing that's why she let it go and didn't try to hijack him. They better not do something stupid like this again though.

Just finished watching Shiki, Hellsing Ultimate, and the girl in the box. I found all of them enthralling, and I feel I love the horror genre. Does anyone have any horror anime recommendations?
