Although, for large parts of it it does seem to completely forget that women exist.

Episode 54 AOT

 

Spoiler

Captain Levi taking down the Beast Titan was so fucking good. I wish they'd just bloody kill the humans inside though. Everytime they have a chance they wait too long. But that was an awesome scene regardless, Levi is awesome.

Is it me, or is the Crunchyroll app for Chromecast TVs bloody awful (and I assume it's the same as the on in Android TVs too)? Not in terms of design, but in its general flakiness? I'm getting it cut out all the bloody time at the moment. Really annoying!

it’s really bad. They ditched a bunch of their apps and still can’t get the few they have to work.

I found it does feel like the setup to an epic multi season series though, so I'm not sure if it's planned to continue as it was just getting going.

The manga feels like it’s winding down, there’s 23 volumes so far. Season one of the anime covers up until about half way through volume 8 so there’s plenty left to cover. It changes a lot from that point though.

That also improves later, though not by much.

Yep and the UK music score.

I'd be holding fire on Cyber City. Sadly, it appears to have been encoded by monkeys. 

 

 

[smac]

Was there really only 2 eps? Thought there were 3 stories?

[Arn Ironjaw]

Yeah one episode each for Son Goku, Benton and Hacker Mr T.

 

Time to dig out my soundtrack CD and have a listen.

That’s possibly the most satisfying scene in all anime I’ve watched.

It really was, especially as Zeke

completely underestimated Levi and then suddenly it dawns on him that he's getting utterly destroyed by one man. 

 

Looked bloody amazing too.

If anyone's watching the new Cells at Work and the Black spin-off, there's a special double episode of Black out today, outside the normal schedule.

[Benny]

Ooh, I didn't realise Cells at Work was back. Is it still as good?

 

EDIT: oh is it only on the high seas.

Delighted I pulled the plug on this tonight.

One of the nominees of this year's Crunchyroll anime awards for best new series. Which is where it caught my eye. Looks like a promising new series indeed - introducing Appare-Ranman! :

 

 

Trailer's in French, as I have yet to come across an English version.

 

Quote

Set around the start of the Meiji era in Japan. An eccentric inventor and second son of a respected merchant family, Appare Sorano, decides one day to set off on an adventure. However, the samurai Kosame Isshiki is tasked with keeping Appare's eccentric behavior in check. While trying to drag Appare back to Japan, Kosame accidentally strands them both at sea, until they are saved at the last moment by a passing American steamship. Now stuck in Los Angeles with no money and no easy way to return to Japan, Appare and Kosame decide to enter the "Trans-America Wild Race," where Appare gets the chance to build a custom automobile and Kosame gets the opportunity to earn enough money to return home. The two of them will have to work together while fighting off other rival racers, bandits, and other challenges as they try to win the race.
