- Danny Choo:
Cant remember exactly why I dropped this. I think t'was because it took too long for something to happen.
I am linking this for the sheer weirdness of his perception, considering the breakneck pace of the show. I thought too many things were happening, it was pure Vandread …
J2 starts
I managed to get swept by J2.
Wild.
So far, everything was great except the way they retconned the sequel to the original Jubei-chan. The Ainosuke story made not the slightest amount of sense.

Finally someone explained in simple words what Nanoha was. Of course, I knew the basics: Fate is dark, magic, army-like structures, A is better than Season 1, etc. But for some reason, everyone would write in such a way that it was impossible to piece together an impression. Although, come …

After her crushing defeat, depressed …

Rewatch: NoRocket Girls capture notes
I am getting lazy or else more sophisticated. Instead of penciling notes down, I take screenshots. This is only possible when watching on computer, of course. Next, snapping pictures of TV screen?

Shiraishi's rant
I saw the Shiraishi's spiel (Lucky☆Star ep.10) first referenced at Omo's place, but the real thing exceeded my expectations, nay, my very imagination.
The idea is not new. Here's how it was debated in comments at Pixy's (while attempting to predict the development of Zero no Tsukaima):
