Serial Experiments Lain E9: “Protocol”
Sardonic announcement of the current date and time, followed by mocking laughter.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E5: “The 520 Cens Promise”
I'm assuming it's one hundred cens to the Amestrian dollar or crown or whatever? This promise could be very expensive or very not, depending on inflation.
Serial Experiments Lain E7: “Society”
“I’ll tell you, but it’s just between you and me. I’ll tell you what’s happening in this society, what’s beginning. Just because you don’t know.”
Serial Experiments Lain E6: “Kids”
Present day. Present time. Presently starting to make some kind of sense, I hope. Let's go!
Serial Experiments Lain E5: “Distortion”
It's been a while, but we're now getting back to Lain, or whatever is left of her.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E4: “The Ishvalan War of Extermination”
Wonder how many colors Ishval will have at this particular time of year.
My Hero Academia S1E2: “What It Takes to Be a Hero”
The second and currently last commissioned episode of MHA, though more than one of you has indicated that they might order more in the future.
My Hero Academia S1E1: “Izuku Midoriya: Origin”
As the title implies, it's about someone attending a training program for superheroes. And, since it's anime, I assume that said training program is going to look and act a lot like a Japanese high school.
Ramblings of a Fool (FMABS3E3 analysis)
Content warning for more depressing stuff, though not as bad as the last couple of times.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E3: “Struggle of the Fool”
Mustang, Hawkeye, and the Elric brothers are all in Father's captivity now, with Scar and May Chang having narrowly escaped. Off in his secluded mountain hermitage, Hohenheim seems to have felt a disturbance in the wog, and may end up coming to rescue his sons now that he's worked through some budget-saving and filler-y inner doubts. Onward!
Ergo Proxy S1E3: “Leap Into the Void”
The third and last of the Ergo Proxy episodes in this order! Things got more gripping in the previous ep, so let's dive right in.
Ergo Proxy S1E2: “Confessions of a Fellow Citizen”
I'm going to be doing something that I don't usually do with anime, and switching from sub to dub. I've had some friends tell me that the dubbing did a much better job with the translation, and that the subbed version doesn't explain itself well enough. Given how confusing I found the pilot, I think it behooves me to give the dub a try and see if it really does help going forward.
Ergo Proxy S1E1: “Pulse of Awakening”
So, the pilot episode, "Pulse of Awakening." It starts with a quote that makes that title seem rather more ominous.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes - The New Thesis S1E1: “In the Eternal Night”
We open on a man driving a pair of passengers on a horse cart through a wintry forest. Is it just me, or does space anime have a thing about horses?
Fullmetal Alchemist S2E2: “Father”
Alphonse is going to meet Father, and Edward might meet him as well depending on where his experimental teleport drops him off. No teaser this time. We go straight to the (inferior) OP and then into the episode.
Fate/Zero S1E6: “Night of Schemes”
That's pretty much every night, if you live in Fateworld. The days are pretty scheme-y, too. And don't even get me started on the mornings and evenings.
Fate/Zero S1E5: “A Wicked Beast’s Roar”
Evocative title. Let's see what it's referring to!
Fate/Zero S1E4: “Spearhead”
I guess dealing with the Lancer and his elusive master will be making up a significant part of this episode, going by the name. And sure enough, this picks up right where we left off, with the Lancer and Arturia starting their duel while Iri keeps an eye out for the master.
Fate/Zero S1E3: “Fuyuki City”
Back to Fate/Zero! Let the schadenfreude begin as we watch assholes do terrible things to other assholes!
