I have been watching Blazblue: Alter Memory, and by 'watching' I mean skipping to specific points in a few episodes to find out the origin of various screen caps on tumblr. So far, this is my favorite moment:
( SERIOUS MOMENT U GAIZ )
followed closely by a scene in episode 10 where Terumi is torturing Makoto in what's supposed to be a gut-wrenching sequence, but because Terumi and Makoto look distinctly blobby the emotional impact is somewhat lessened.

Ok enough laughing at Alter Memory's unfortunate animation, POKEMON IS ON NETFLIX EEEeEeeeeeeEEEEEEee! Although, only the first season (Indigo League) and Best Wishes are available, which is kind of sad because I wanted to see the Diamond/Pearl eps without having to resort to semi-shady online streams, but OH WELL. Anyway, some things I have noticed:
★ Ash is outrageously dumb and I find him awfully endearing for it. I have a real softness for characters who are not exceptional in any way aside from having a big, emphatic heart, and Ash is like the most extreme version of the dopey enthusiastic protagonist trope. He is terrible at almost everything but he just. LOVES POKEMON. SO MUCH. And also he's full of pride at every single thing he does and it's just sweet to have a character who believes in his pets and his friends and himself, and that's all you need to be a pretty great sort of person.
★ Everybody runs Quick Attack on their Pokemon. EVERY TRAINER. EVERY POKEMON.
★ WOW THERE IS SO MUCH CROSSDRESSING. Unremarkable crossdressing even, in that it happens with such regularity that most of the time, no one acknowledges it as out of the ordinary. And there's equal parts girls-dressing-as-guys and guys-dressing-as-girls. How nice!
★ I am pretty sure Gary has a crush on Ash. He acts exactly like a ten year old with a crush. It is literally the only age-appropriate thing Gary does, I mean, a corvette? A cheerleading squad composed of much older women?? WORLD CLASS POKEMON RESEARCHER??? HOW ARE YOU THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE CHARACTER IN A UNIVERSE WHERE GIANT MONSTERS LIVE IN TINY BALLS AND CHILDREN WANDER AROUND FORESTS UNATTENDED FOR MONTHS?
In conclusion: lol anime
