That would set-up an almost insurpassable wall for Ryuuko to surpass. It would just make Ragyo even more evil and seemingly more powerful. I say the scissor blade needs to be completed.
Spoiler:
Unfortunately, every time I try to have hope for the future of humanity, crap gets even more real.
I agree with you, though, and if there's anyone who can knock some sense into Ryuko... well, I'd say Mako, but at this point she needs the sense beaten into her, and Satsuki is best for that.
Here's hoping this is when things turn around. A house divided cannot stand! The future of humanity rests with a Nietzschean wannabe and a brainwashed girl with serious parental issues.
...If it were anyone else, I'd say we'd be doomed, but this is Kill la Kill, and for them, that's just a regular day of the week

The Quincy Empire aka the Vandenreich has declared war on Soul Society. Yamamoto was killed by Quincy Emperor Juha Bach (who is also the first Quincy) after getting his Bankai stolen, the Gotei 13 sans the Captains and Lieutenants and a few other lucky mooks have been wiped out, and the Seireitei has been destroyed. Oh and Ichigo (who is actually part Quincy) and Co. have been getting training from the Royal Guard.

"In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same"
wait so now he's a human that's also a soul reaper and also part hollow... and now he's part wonky magic bow guy too? Next you're gonna tell me he's 1/16 Cherokee on his mothers side =/ maybe he can be part zanpakto too!? . I guess since they wrote the character to be so boring they had to keep doing stuff to help him out, but it seems like well over half of his friends, allies, and enemies are more interesting (least to me).
I guess at least its interesting that a people who were supposedly wiped out got to turn around and do that to the people who did it to them in the first place..
Say, do any of his friends ever manage to keep up or are they all just perma-krillans? Seems like they always power up to take out mooks ichigo might have one shot on a good day, only to have him step it up even further to fight surprise turbo OP boss. A shame too, some of the side chars are pretty neat.

Not 1/16 Cherokee, but he did get both his Quincy power and his hollow from his mother...who was a quincy. The love story between his mother and father was amazing.....she saves him from a hollow thing of Aizen's, he saves her from hollowification, and then they hang around each other, and then Ichigo is born (no word of a lie that was how it went). And in a technical sense, he is part hollow which is apart of his zanpakto. So in a broad sense, he is part zanpakto. I find this whole arc is dragging its feet really bad, and is barely holding my interest with all the new shiny power-ups.

Holy smokes just finished the latest episode of Kill La Kill. Sweet Lord almighty things just keep escalating!
Spoiler:
How is it possible that Satsuki keeps getting more badass every ep. that passes? Next thing we know her teeth will also be coated in whatever Bakuzan was made out of. Also did anybody feel a liiitle bit creeped out at that part where Ryuuko was forced into Junketsu? Momma just has to molest all her kids doesn't she? *shudders*
Isn't the sword just kind of part of their soul anyway? Or spirit juice. Backstory concerning Ichigo's mom and dad actually sounds interesting, moreso than Ichigo himself. I dunno if it stayed the same, I watched the show up to Aizen finally getting sealed whereupon Ichigo was supposed to lose his powers. Haven't been back around, but did he ever get more interesting than "hit stuff with sword", potentially mope around for a week or two if that didn't work, etc? I mean his bankai (most of which are amazing) was to get a smaller sword, and go fast. That's it =/ Not rewire your opponents senses, or play some kind of game outside even the wielder's control, or shoot a nuke, or make a bazillion cherryblossoms, giant snake, etc etc etc, but go fast. And if someone's more powerful than him? probably already faster. I think Naruto gets all wonky on it's own terms, but at least the main character for that show learns new tricks and uses them. I think ichigo picking up some of that binding/offensive soul reaper magic would have been an amazing opportunity for depth. Oh well, it's still a neat concept for a show and all, and I had fun watching the parts I did
Satsuki got even MORE badass! She literally kicked-ass NAKED.
Never, ever have I considered the possibility of switching the uniforms. I saw people theorizing that in reddit but for it to really happen. Gods, what an episode.
And was it just me, or that face when Ryuko went bananas... Maybe I have been reading too much of the wrong stuff, but that was one hell of a "raped" face Really felt sorry for Ryuku there. Ofc, right then, all gak broke loose and I'm left with anotheiof waiting.
PS: I love Naked Sol

Spoiler:
From what I gathered, the zanpakuto are made by one of the heaven guard fellows and are tempered by their owner. He also seems to think that people treat the zanpakuto poorly as a whole.
http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/523/9 mentions this. Mr strawberry gets a new bankai anyway so hopefully its not just go fast mode this time. What we've seen of Renji's and Rukia's new bankai is pretty badacre though.
Indeed! I did not see that one coming. Did not help that another of the animes I'm watching had an apparent major character death as well in its next episode.

Spoiler:
Ya they have got some balls for sure. I have a feeling it may end up being like FMA when that really annoying/lovable officer was killed by envy. Huges was his name right? Like as soon as they start to develop Art, boom dead! What a way to start and finish an episode
Regarding Bleach...I don't know. I kinda like the Vandenreich and how they do things.
Spoiler:
For starters, they've broken 'standard' shonen rules to obtain results, such as:
1) Instead of engaging in pre-fight dialogues, they go straight onto the offensive while their enemies are still blabbing away.
2) Use smoke screen tactics; the initial invasion saw a lot of Shinigami officers dead when the Star Knights used the reishi pillars they invaded the Seiretei with as cover for massed Heilig Pfeil barrages.
3) Send in the heavy hitters first to knock out/cripple the opposition before sending in the mooks to finish the enemy. With the Captains tied up/incapacitated/dead at the hands of the Star Knights, the Soldat had no problems slaughtering the disorganized and confused rank and file of the Shinigami army.
4) Use deception and intelligence; the Vandenreich took advantage of Soul Society's arrogance to build their empire literally in the shadows of Seireitei, the last place the Shinigami ever expected them to be. And they gathered information about their enemies' trump card (Bankai) so they could take it and use it against them. And even when that was countered, they still had their own equally-powerful trump card to fall back on.

It felt like a filler... sure, there was some character development with Akatsuki finally moving her ass and Minori understanding about how she likes Shiro, and yes, it was fun sometimes...
But all I could think about when watching it was "Demon Festival... there's a freakin' Demon Festival event in the West and this is all about an Autumn Festival... I could be watching Demons raping stuff, but no, Harem like episode ... " It felt like Sword Art Online all over again..

It is my biggest hope this isn't a filler. In fact, I hope
Spoiler:
The first 2 days of the festival are OK and then right near the end Demons show up and feth everything up. And I mean, everything, I want to see those mobs kicking the tar outta everyone and destroying the chapel so the players don't respawn, well, at least there (if this is even possible). That should put some sense back in their heads.
Last time my MMO-based anime went into full love territory, SAO happened. I don't want another SAO. Ever. Again.

I liked the episode of log horizon. Innocent and cute for the most part.
Spoiler:
Akatsuki realizing that she, being a uni student was up against a middle schooler cracked me up. Minori should have seen it coming, with the whole cake thing, but I guess her not seeing it coming was half the reason she was so shocked. It looked like we have a smiler episode next week going by the title. Also, it not filler. This is in the novels. Your just going to need to deal with the fact some people enjoy the relationships of the characters and want to see those relationships advance past 'i hope senpai notices me.'
Next season. looks good from what I can see. I use Anichart.net to look the next season up.
I am looking at: Atelier, Black bullet, Break blade (never did finish the manga), Date a live 2, Fuun Ishin Dai Shogun, Gokukoku no Brynhildr, Hitsugi no Chaika, Jojo (woop!), Kenzen Robo Daimidaler (this gak sounds legit), Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Mushishi 2, No game no life, Selector Infected WIXOSS, Sidonia no Kishi, And soul eater not. You can see why I watch a few out of season. I drop about 1/3 the stuff i pick up too. (funny enough, Im watching more shows currently this season that I just listed.)

Just finished watching Black Lagoon... It was awesome, heart-breaking and really dark. Humorous in a totally black comedy style and realistic as well (except for the all the supposedly sharpshooters missing at point blank)...
You shouldn't be worried about the one bullet with your name on it, Boldric. You should be worried about the ones labelled "to whom it may concern"-from Blackadder goes Forth!

Yeah, it gets even sillier in Roberta's Blood Trail.
There you have scenes where a whole squad open fire at a stationary exposed target, and they fail to land even 1 hit.
