I enjoy the 2nd half of TTGL a lot but never quite as much as the first half.

Parallel Works 8 is the best part though.

That's still probably my favorite fight in Gurren Lagann. Part 2 was a lot bigger and more insane, but I really like desperate fights like the Lordgenome fight.
Same.

The second half was cool, the final battle was great, but I preferred the more intimate nature of Simon and Genome's throwdown.

Peace Walker isn't as good as Snake Eater but building up your private army and base is pretty loving awesome anyway.

Haven't been keeping up with the simulwatch thread since I've got too much other stuff to watch.

Maybe I should reconsider.

I've been watching Brave 10 today. It was described in the thread for that season as "some pretty boy ninja show" and that's very accurate and also exactly what I was in the mood for. :v:

Then again it's Mind Game next and I've already seen that so the joy of posting live reactions is gone.

People have made some good posts after the livewatching is all over, so at the very least you could poke in after next week's! I'm sure there will be other folks that have seen Mind Game and while they might not watch it they could still have stuff to say.

imo i think some anime original material would have been better than dragging out THE BIGGEST COOL. there was a cut plot point in the novel about waver and rider interacting with one of the assassins, maybe polish that up and make an episode out of it instead.

There's 4 servants left and 4 eps left to go, maybe a little caster trimming was in order.


Hell they spent two eps telling me about kerry's sad life fighting vampires

I wish they'd hidden Assassin being not quite dead yet a little better.

You know, maybe not reveal their hand the same episode we thought they were gone.

It was never supposed to be a huge twist in and of itself, it was more about showing what Assassin could do and showing what Team Tokiomi had for a gameplan.

Tohsaka's game plan involved being dull, what a surprise.

Yeah, I just wish they'd played out the suspense a little longer.

One of the first things they establish is that Kotomine and Tohsaka are working together, going to all that trouble to train a member of the church as a magus for the war. Then they summon their servants, Archer and Assassin respectively...only for Archer to kill Assassin immediately? What? Why? It's so illogical. You always knew they were up to something, but how does this fit any plan at all?

Of course, it's quickly revealed how it serves their purposes. I just wish they'd held that note a little longer, until the start of the next episode at least. Would've been fun to keep people guessing for a week.
