I mean, goddamn, Roberta must be a Sister of Battle or something to have that much of a willpower shield. Then again, she does spout a lot of religious rhetoric...

Nah, she'll live. They'll find out she was "infected" or something by that living metal and it'll save her life though she'll be possessed by it for a bit and they'll have to save her.

I agree that StB wont end up killing her, but I dont know about the second part.

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.)
Spoiler:
the problem isn't that they are taking time to develop their characters and their relationships with each other. It's just that they tend to derail the whole story when they do it. It works much better when they fit it into the plot, like with rudy and the bard when he almost died, or their team when they were struggling through the dungeon. They developed the characters and kept the plot moving. These stupid Autumn fests and beach days just delay the story and ruin the pacing. It wouldn't be so annoying if they didn't waste whole episodes on stuff like this. They also tend to take a lot of time on character dialogue, which does not help the situation. Almost the entire episode, of every episode, is conversation and shiroe or somebody else lifting up their glasses. With some slight editing, Log Horizon could have been the best thing to come out this season. It could have been one of my favorite anime. It has potential with a large cast of interesting characters and a good back story. Sadly it just looks to be ok

I still like Log Horizon a lot, but it needs a little more action -
Spoiler:
I'm hoping that Akatsuki remembers her class and just spawn-kills Minori a few hundred times until she forgets Shiroe completely - never liked Minori, definitely in the pro-ninja camp of the Shiroe-triangle

ya I really like Akatsuki as well. Her class skills look cool to, it'd be nice to see her use them again. Also Minori is like in middle school isn't she? Awkward...

Exactly! It's what I feel
Spoiler:
With this autumn festival. Isuzu and Rudy was a joy to watch, but this one is stopping everything else. Not only that, Shiroe seems to have had a character shift; it still bothers me to no end how he seems to have completely disregarded the mysterious woman as a coincidence. Not only that, both the new magic and the demons are in the west. Both! Again, too much of a coincidence and he seems not to give a damn.
They forgot about the Goblin Event, and all kinds of gak hit the fan.
I can't even imagine how much bigger a quantity of gak can hit the fan with a demon event.
Besides that, this week's Noragami was beautiful. KLK is my favorite Fall anime, but Noragami is my number 1 Winter one.
Spoiler:
This was one situation the "power of friendship" card didn't bother me at all. Yukine was so sorry after all that, even I felt like hugging the rascal and telling him everything was alright now, that I hope he learnt his lesson and not to do it again.
Besides that, Kofuku and her Regalia are absolutely fantastic

It's ok. The second season is better than the first imo; it's raunchier.
Though I am a bit annoyed by Tae's running gag, how she maims everyone and gets no flak. I'm pretty sure assaulting a government official on a regular basis is a bad thing...

The show's not meant to be taken seriously in any case though.

True. That still does not protect the gag from getting very old though.

I picked up Suzumiya Haruhi no yuutsu now that I finnished Mushishi. I'm quite surprised from what I expected to be quite the slice of life show turned out to be closer to Beyond the horizon in nature. (we cant ditch the school setting though) As always Tomokazu Sugita is the best freaking va ever. God I love his voice.

Yep.
Spoiler:
Takao's boobs should be considered Deadly Weapons by now. The Kinetic Energy they transfer to objects is probably enough to kill anyone. (And she's so damn cute it's ridiculous. No one will suspect Death is that cute)
Loved his little sister It's hilarious how she thinks Takao is one badass lady

Nobody has mentioned my favorite yet, Tokko. Somewhat obscure anime. If people exploding into blood every five seconds and subtle references to incest and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air sounds like your thing, behold:

The "brutal murder" got my attention I have never heard about that anime until now, but it's yet another to the ever-growing "To Watch" pile.

Spoiler:
27m launch. The part where Noe said Takao's boobs were amazing and her thinking that she got "bounced" back by the boobs was funny. Then you have Funabori sticking Kazama's bag on her head to protect it. (Takao is supremely cute, and innocent really)
5000th post, yay.

We have been talking about anime for a long time. So a bit late to the party for this one but Gundam Build Fighters was pretty good again this week
Spoiler:
Really want the matches to end with something other than RG knuckle to the midsection. I mean i know it is supposed to be a throwback to G Gundam, but still.
I am also finding Buddy Complex to be fairly entertaining to watch once you get over the unfortunate name.

I am watching Sengoku Basira. I was hoping for something a little more grounded in reality such as Samurai Champloo rather than usual anime trappings of super powers and explosions. Certainly wasnt expecting someone holding three swords in each hand riding a horse with motorbike handle bars and an exhaust.
However embracing the sillyness I am starting to enjoy it.

Yeah, I loved this week's Gundam BF episode.
Spoiler:
Everything was going a bit grimdark, with Aila being forced to fight, that mind-rape crap, stuff that I felt shouldn't be in such a light-hearted show and then ...
When Aila snapped it was fantastic. She owned her former-boss, she owned the rich-bastard, she told his grandson what he should be doing and that fight, oh that glorious fight, to see a gundam jumping around calling the other idiot
The face of the ENTIRE audience was hilarious, even Sei was completely stunned

Well, it was like Fellini said the 2 of them were "flirting in their own way". Everyone was stunned because out of nowhere the unbeatable unflappable stern-faced Aila started having an argument with Reiji, and both were acting like idiots...in the middle of the match. I laughed when Reiji just up and invited Aila to live at Sei's house like it was a boarding house.

Spoiler:
I really like the design they came up with for her character's ability. Although she would be totally dead in any other Gundam series, since the minofsky particles get dispersed everywhere. Besides that the episode was ok, although I did really enjoy when she snapped out of the mind control as well.
It's like you said before, the series is a giant throwback to G-Gundam. It's more oriented towards younger audiences and fans of the G-Gundam series. I never liked G-Gundam that much, which is probably why I find Gunpla Build Fighters just "ok."
