I'm glad there are some feelings on Maria's part, even though they're one-sided, even though that plot point still sounds pretty :\<br /><br />Ah, well that makes sense. Good priorities and all. I haven't tried R;N. Besides Jormungand and P-P, I ended up following Kamisama Kiss, which I thought was cute (was in a foul mood one day, and watching the newest episode of it helped take my mind off what was irritating me), although I'm behind two episodes on it. I don't know if it's just me, but its protagonist has gotten kind of... stupid since confessing her feelings to (and being rejected by) her love interest Tomoe. Like, she falls from a skyscraper and is like "Waah, don't touch me!" when he flies down to catch her- but it was actually a less ridiculous situation (her getting really jealous because he... straightened another girl's crooked hat) that made me be like, "...Wow, really???" Add that to the worst character in the show having his role expanded, and... yeah. I do still plan on watching its last two episodes, though. But... yeah, anyway, ^^; I hope you like Psycho-Pass when you get to it!<br /><br />Ah. I'll give its preview a look on JManga, then. Thanks!<br /><br />Thanks. ^^; *claps hands apologetically* It will be up later today.Katherine Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209832803059188448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970063565985184238.post-61278627327377898932013-01-02T18:35:36.841-08:002013-01-02T18:35:36.841-08:00@Katherine- Certainly would be nice if it's tr...@Katherine- Certainly would be nice if it's true but we'll never know for sure.<br /><br />I don't think it's genetic engineering exactly so much as learned societal behavior. The show mentioned something about their civilization mimicking bonobo "culture" to keep stress levels low so no one's brains melt due to their powers (or something like that). Recalling the spoiler filled relationship chart I saw I think that Maria actually has genuine affection for Saki though Saki's obviously vying for Shun's attentions.<br /><br />Unfortunately apart from Polar Bear's Cafe I haven't really had time to follow other series due to work and my free time being spent trying to keep in touch with my friends which ends up as many hours spent on gaming with them since I moved across the country last year. I do intend to watch Psycho-Pass at sometime as well as finish up watching Robotics;Note which was pretty fun for the first few episodes I watched (I was part of a robotics club at the end of high school and spent time helping them out after I graduated too so there's a nostalgia factor to that show for me). Ultimately I guess I just haven't been in the right "mood" to watch some of the more... ah... brain-use-intensive shows this season.<br /><br />Teekyu's first volume of manga is on JManga too; the anime is a pretty much spot on adaptation of it. There are certainly worse options than it to waste your time or money on.<br /><br />Next season looks like it has some interesting things in it though I suppose I should wait 'till you put up your preview post for that discussion ^_^;Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349729187941061982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970063565985184238.post-956672244145510502013-01-02T10:47:08.287-08:002013-01-02T10:47:08.287-08:00Skip the 1st ep of Sengoku Collection and skip the...Skip the 1st ep of Sengoku Collection and skip the 2nd ep (for now) and go right to the 3rd ep.

(A...@Helen- Oh, meh. :\ That does sound boo-worthy. (And like you said, odd given LE's content.) I'm not big on shipping Tatiana and Alister myself (saw them as best friends with potential for more, but while they made me go "Hmm" a bit, they didn't make me be like, "OMG, OTP *searches fan art*"), but I did find it satisfying to see them together years later in Fam. (With nary a hint of Claus- sorry LE: TotH's author.)<br /><br />@Steven- I see. And wow, kudos to the show's creator if that's true.<br /><br />Oh yeah, I've heard about that- the making out Saki and Maria do as a result of being genetically engineered. I liked Shin Sekai Yori when it started airing, but dropped it after episode 5. The queerrats arc bored me, and the episodes following it don't sound all that good either, imo. Have you followed/been following any other shows from this past season?<br /><br />Haha, so it's one of those shows. (Looks like the new season is going to have several shows with a similar idea- random gag-style moe comedy, presented in installments of a few minutes each.) I haven't tried it myself.<br /><br />And yes, here's hoping!Katherine Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209832803059188448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970063565985184238.post-74135194991896938762013-01-01T19:03:44.551-08:002013-01-01T19:03:44.551-08:00Regarding Girls und Panzer: Yukari's the yuri ...Regarding Girls und Panzer: Yukari's the yuri fan-bait character in the ways that she reacts to any attention Miho gives her, "Nishizumi-dono just confessed her love for me!" I've heard but can't confirm that it's more overt in the manga.<br />Also, the last two episodes have been put on hold, the official reason is apparently animation quality though I heard a rumor that the actual reason is because the animators got fired for trying to slip in fan-service and the creator didn't like that. The only thing I have to substantiate that is that I saw an image on /u/ that shows that Hana's bust size has been slowly increasing over the course of the show.<br /><br />Shin Sekai Yori has some yuri in it in episode 8 at least (yaoi as well).<br /><br />Also Teekyu... sorta...? Maybe? It's hard to say since each episode is two minutes of OMGWTFBBQ. <br /><br />Hoping for more yuri in the coming year.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349729187941061982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970063565985184238.post-79720785864928374602013-01-01T13:23:43.687-08:002013-01-01T13:23:43.687-08:00Man, the Last Exile: Travelers of the Hourglass ma...Man, the Last Exile: Travelers of the Hourglass manga (which bridges the original series and Fam a bit) tried to keep playing with the "Tatiana likes Claus" bit (which IMO pretty much fizzled away by the end of the first show) AND had Alister shipping them. Boo, although yeah it didn't go any farther in either direction in the show itself, heck the show actually had almost no romance at all of any kind.....Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574610749856418971noreply@blogger.com
