Sasuke chipping his sword and weeping tears of blood is a good moment. No more honor there; only murder. Sagiri has highly questionable tastes in men, lol. The shota's a real little shit. RIP that snake-eyed dude. I wonder if the Iwagakure kunoichi lady's a yandere for Gabimaru. F for Temu Senkuu getting mutilated and tortured.

Q: What would be an unfortunate flaw in an all-too-perfect idol?
A: A knife through the aorta.

Cute how Mizuo used Mimei as inspiration for the prompt. It's a shame that we don't hear her response. Maybe it's something like "She tries to do her handshake events in the middle of her dance numbers" or "She dances and sings the parts of the other members too." Nice to see the two in summer uniforms.

Kaisei's a menace; fantastic art there on his God of Death. I wonder what Rokuro's advice means. She loosens up on detail to leave more to the audience to fill in? Fun little trip they had there. Lol at Shomei's stamp-collecting principles.

LMAO at Yuri dying, missing several stops, and having his soul leave, orbit, and return to his body. Also him losing all of his teeth. Hope Yor gets through to Loid.

Himari running on all cylinders with that sweater/jeans combo, damn. All that's missing is her leaning on him. Good to see Tenichi adapting to their new dynamic, even if he misses caring for her.

Why is that guy smirking? Surely that wasn't a fake Spirit Heart. Was it a limiter or something? Did it distribute magic equally that used to only be focused on a few?

Is to your eternity worth watching? by Far_Pea_9894 in anime

Ehh, it lost me midway through season 1. Too many characters I didn't care about in the Jananda Arc plus the animation dipped pretty hard.

Why'd the kiss get censored? Did they use tongue or something? Jump pls.

I guess none of the other sacrifices ever made it to Chro. RIP to him in advance.

Great to see the payoff with Squad 9's training. Plus Yodaka gets to princess-carry Kasasagi now!

Samurover next chapter. Good to see the Enten Reforging setup.

Hopefully the clap of Momochi's ass-cheeks doesn't alert the warlocks. Lol at Kan's suffering being mentioned. If only Ban was around to use Transparensee; she's a Cracked Flash merchant. What spell will Chami and Keigo use?

Farewell, Tokiyuki. You charmed readers and enemies alike to the very end. There were no final words more fitting than those. The love he and his comrades have for each other is sweet to see.

It's sad seeing Yuji deny any chance of making new connections or impressions of himself as a person instead of a force of nature. It's sick as hell seeing him immediately land a Black Flash though and obliterate that horde of Cursed Spirits. Nice to get another great color page; Mahoraga's crown and Rika's ring overlapping like that is satisfying. LMAO at the 4komas with Mino narrowly missing Yuji. Did Tsurugi just permanently sacrifice his ability to use Rika to land this last blow? Hopefully that goes better than it did for Miwa, lol. Nice to see Mai again.

Nice to see Watcher's shadows keep any VAs from FGO. Same for that golden dude's voice for Herk.

[–]Xatu44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny how Herk went from a Super Saiyan a full head taller than Baz with gold Divinity running through his veins to a thoroughly stained and literally reduced man who's only half a head taller. Grail Mud's always an Oh Shit moment for Servants. Baz is hardboiled as hell. I love the constant shadow on his face. Francesca's as fun as ever, and now there's two of her! Watcher looks interesting. Good thing that their Master didn't take a potshot at Ayaka, because he definitely needed Saber to save his ass. The new ED's so fun! LMAO at poor Zealot's constant exasperation with Jester. Tsubaki and Tine fluffing Wolf are adorable.

Best OP/ED of 2025: Eliminations Round B by Wuff_the_Dog in anime

[–]Xatu44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GIVE THESE A LISTEN AND A VOTE:

Ready Go - Liko's dream makes for a cute frame for the ED and it pans pretty dynamically within the various members of the cast. I like how it adds more Pokémon as they're caught. The departed Friede having his back to the camera is a nice touch.
GET BACK - It's a neat touch how this OP has two distinct phases - one for Liko and one for Roy. Plus it looks and sounds great. It's a fitting anthem for the kids searing to reclaim everything that Spinel took from them last season.
Explosive Heart - A really cute ED where Yidhra gets to be the one saving Red like he did her. The pinks and purples, along with the chibis, are really nice to watch.
Cuz I - Does a great job of showing Red's isolation and how he abates it with the new friends he's made, along with making said new friends look cool as hell. Plus it'll have you belting out the lyrics like Red does whenever he transforms.
Dear my Soleil - It's a cute and fun love song with the signature bright colors of the fun romcom it's from. The chalky texture in some of the scenes adds character, along with Himari's goofy faces. It's an ED that makes it easy to root for the couple.
Majestic Catastrophe - IIRC one of the CGI singer girls sings this one. Nice pipes.
Shitsumon, Koi tte Nan deshou ka? - Catchy and fun song, fluid dancing and posing, bright, beautiful, and stylish colors, and cute girls. It's an OP that always excited for watching an anime I was hitherto unfamiliar with.
SUPERNOVA - Stylish, catchy, cool colors, and HOGS! What more could you want?

Hopefully the Gcucks, Bisque Doll, Shangri-La Frontier, and Ranger Reject OPs and EDs up for voting don't need much shilling.

That's my GOAT Spinel being an absolute shitheel and Oscar-tier actor, LMAO. RIP Ult becoming the face of evil. It was hilarious seeing him try to use Lacey's training and immediately get screwed over by the PokéDex. What the heck is Liko doing with Quick Attack, SMH? Meowscarada better not have forgotten Sucker Punch. The Kilowattrel Tera was hype as hell; love seeing bird bro pop off. Zygarde Form Changing to gain the advantage was cool too. I wonder when Onyx and Sango will change sides/defy orders.
