Anime adaptations are never a definite thing for any manga. It's a matter of its popularity and a studio's interest, in the end. But, if you want a One-Punch Man anime, you are in luck. One is slated to start this fall.

I made a big manga order last week. Finally finished getting Soul Eater and Bakuman, caught up with Centaur no Nayami (so great) and threw in Railgun 4 because why not. (it is certainly the best Railgun up to that point. Sisters arc is good like that). It feels good to finally put those series to rest. I'm planning on getting the Nausicaa box set and start buying Bunny Drop and Yotsuba& soon...Maybe finally get past volume 10 of Bleach? I started Kore wa Zombie desu ka? like, a week ago or something? I've watched five episodes it's mostly uninteresting. The season is nearing an end now. Probably about as good a time as any to rank all the stuff I'm watching. 1. Ore Monogatari!! 2. Tesagure! Bukatsumono Spin-off Purupurun Charm to Asobou 3. Punchline 4. Go! Princess Precure 4. Arslan Senki 6. Assassination Classroom 6. World Trigger 6. Nisekoi: 9. Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku 9. Ninja Slayer from Animation 9. I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying 2 12. Ame-iro Cocoa 13. Owari no Seraph Ore Monogatari!! is great!! It hits all the right notes every episode. Great romance story, friendship story, story...It's cute and it's charming and it has a lot of heart and brains. It's great. Tesagure! kind of lost me the last two episodes with the Yuriwolf thing but other than that it's been an amazing and hilarious season that has really only upped the amount of innovation they've been doing. Even the Yuriwolf game, though I don't think it was a great success, was entirely in line with the show's purposes. Also, Aoi's punchline was amazing as always. Oh, Yua... Punchline's great. The story has gotten really involved and twisty and all. Characters are interesting, whole thing is pretty silly but very good. Nothing out of line here considering it's written by the Zero Escape guy. Precure's fun. I started watching the infinitely better Heartcatch a while ago, and the comparisons aren't kind to Princess. It's still a solid and very fun series though. Arslan's good. It feels like it's still really just waiting for something to happen. Who knows what. It's been interesting though. Assassination Classroom is ok. Just. Ok, mostly. This latest island arc has been uncharacteristically interesting though. Things are happening in World Trigger. This is a novel thing for World Trigger. Nisekoi: is. I don't know. I want to like it, I really do. I loved everything in this series up till episode 2 of :. But I just. I don't even care anymore. I don't even know fully what happened. I miss when it was just Raku, Kosaki and Chitoge, I suppose. Mikagura took a general dive in quality as far as animation and art go as early as episode 2. And it just. Hasn't been all that interesting in any area for a while. I guess it's there. Ninja Slayer is, well, it's still Ninja Slayer. And...it's. I dunno. Adjectives like "good" or "bad" seem to lose any semblance of meaning near a show like this. The Husband show hasn't changed a bit. It's kind of amusing and inoffensive but that is as far as it goes. There wasn't anything to say about Ameiro Cocoa when it started and there's still nothing to say about it now. Owari no Seraph is awful. Awful and generic and poorly animated and utterly, utterly boring. Really though the animation is just terrible. I may be able to forgive a show as awful as this if it at least bothered to look pretty, but as choppy and cruddy as it is it just accentuates all the awfulness in the show rather than make me want to ignore it. Terrible show. edit: oh yeah RGZ+ started too. That sure happened. First episode was ok? May be worth waiting until it's all out to watch it though, dunno. All in all I'm not very impressed with this season at all. There's a handful of pretty solid series but a lot of it is just not that great. Kinda missing the winter season over here.

The difference is admittedly not quite as noticeable in smaller pieces. I remember when I got Vakama Metru (my first Bionicle set) I spent a while trying to figure out what color exactly the eye stalk is. I think it becomes clear what color it is in bigger pieces though, like Pohatu's bones. Those are trans fluor. green too, and, sadly, clearly not yellow.

Lewa does have light green eyes. Specifically he has Trans. Fluorescent Green eyes, the lightest shade of trans green there is (with Trans Bright Green and Trans Green being darker). Gali's eyes are also trans fluor. green, not trans yellow. But in all seriousness, how can you tell the difference? Difference in what? Fluorescent green and yellow? Well. One of them is green. And. The other is yellow? That's about it really.

Hot dang, is that printed Chima armor? That's new. Looks like a neat minifigure.

1. Oh. But I did. 2. Kill a bunch of trolls??? 3. I am suing. 4. UMM, IT'S SPELLED INSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAANE???? 5. To clarify, I do know what inane means. Just making that sure. It was a joke, come on. Stop looking at me like that. 6. No thanks, California is frigid enohahahaha ok nevermind. 7. Would explain why they stopped making sets of them, it'd be pretty unprofitable. 8. :/ 9. Hammers? 10. Worship ME 11. Do you mean Potatu?

Epics 5, the long awaited sequel to Epics 3.6. This franchise is infamous for its nonsensical naming scheme. It's a bother to all. Some serious non-goof totally ninjad my spotlight here.

It's the master of fire, before. He mastered it.

That's a lot of colons. Perhaps. Even. Too many colons? POSSIBLY. Results are inconclusive.

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! I've been searching everywhere for that show to watch it again, but I've had no luck... Try Kisscartoon, pretty sure they have it. Anyway, I think this may accurately reflect how I felt about about the Colbert Report ending a mere nine months after I started watching. It sucked! He taking over for Letterman this September, FYI. Oh, yeah, I know that. It won't really be the same though, his character from the Report isn't carrying over, it won't be satire or the same format and all. I'm really excited for him taking over the Late Show, but I still can't really help but miss the Report.

Shame about the piano. The Maze is a really cool project though, I'm glad it passed.

I wonder what she'd look like with the trans blue mask if her azure and trans light blue parts were switched out for bright blue and trans blue ones? Though the bones don't exist in that color...

So I've watched a few anime movies over the past couple of weeks...When Marnie was Here, the latest Ghibli movie. Thought it was really good. Rakuen Tsuihou: Expelled from Paradise, which was...nothing special and had annoying fanservice but was generally ok. (liked Kamiya Hiroshi-bot anyway). Wolf Children Ame and Yuki, which I really really enjoyed. And most recently He[ck]s, which was weird as, well, heck but certainly interesting. I plan to read the manga at a later date. Also I've watched. A bunch of stuff. Saw Gatchaman Crowds, thought it was really good, really liked the characters. Weird ending. Looking forward to the second season this summer. Saw Beyond the Boundary. It was pretty and sometimes interesting. Ending was no good. That's about it. Saw Chronicles of the High School Club. Slow start but got really funny around episode 4 or so. Good gag anime. Saw Cuticle Detective Inaba. Better gag anime. It had a talking goat italian mafia boss. A+ I'm like 4 episodes away from finishing Zetsuen no Tempest. It's ok. I think it peaked at episodes 8-12. edit: I finished it. It was ok. I think it peaked at episodes 8-12. I am something like halfway through Heartcatch Precure. It is very good. I love the main character and the art style. Leagues better than the current Precure series, and I really like the current Precure series. Started watching Hetalia World Series since I finally found it dubbed. I am 30 episodes in. It's amusing. And just started Kore wa Zombie desu ka. It's not any good so far. Nothing too shocking has happened with the shows airing this season. Punchline keeps getting more interesting. Owari no Seraph keeps being awful. Ore Monogatari!! keeps being really good. I guess Nisekoi: has been a...little disappointing? Thought the first episode was hilarious but nothing since has really done too much for me. It's not terrible but. Eh. Not nearly as fun as the first season or even the ovas, for some reason. Maybe it's the fact that we are seeing more Marika? I don't really like her.

Over the Garden Wall, yes. That was a really good one. Great atmosphere, great music, good style and animation.

Yeah! I'm really looking forward to that.

! ! ! I watched Gatchaman Crowds like last week and really liked it. I was skimming this post before reading what you said at the beginning and was like "wait is this Rui" and then "oh man it's Rui." It's really good cosplay! Also hey it's a Dave ALPHA MALE. And. Pohatu is a nipple, alright.

What if I have....TWO Transparent Orange Masks of Fire? I demand to be made grand sultan.

It is a beautiful self-sculpture by famed dudebro MAN GAKA EXTROARDINAIRE, the Lord of Time, his majesty Calicorn. It's too bad BZP no longer supports gifs as avatars. It's really quite charming.

Too late. I already joined like 20 minutes ago. Your plans have been foiled. There are no cool kids in my vicinity, your premise seems flawed...

Man, forget about the solid gold masks. When's the contest to win that huge Tahu mask?

This looks pretty great! Though since the last Adventure Time project that got to 10,000 didn't pass, I'm not sure how likely these are....they're an entirely different thing, but still...I hope they do pass!

I'm pretty sure fire lord was a glatorian
