I throroughly enjoyed the Troll of Suzumiya Haruhi. Can’t say that everyone else shares the same feelings, but you gotta admit, NO ONE SAW IT COMMING.

Plus someone in the anime has the same name as I do! +1 for that.

note: I didn’t really pick out a particular “moment” since I lost all my Eureka episodes when my HDD that it was stored on failed on me. Plus, the whole marathon felt like one big moment anyways.

Maria+Holic OP.

P.S. Matsurika is still queen of my cellphone.

Castanet un-tan~ retard moe that took over the world (a collective groan from the denizens of #dasaku who have had to endure my Un~tan~ moe spam for over a month)

Try having 5 of these going on at the same time

Hard to believe that Naruto Shippuden ep 138 would make it into a 12 moments post eh? The reason is that everything up to this point had been
spoiled for me. Past this point, I really won’t know what to expect anymore, which is always good. It’s in the #12 spot because the whole fight was not spectacular by any means.

It is also the end of Sasuke’s revenge, something that started back when Naruto just started airing. Ahhh.. remember when Naruto was still a good anime?

Without further ado, top 50 of the decade.

edit2: Removed Excel Saga, that started airing in 1999, and as RyanA suggested, I’ve added the season, year it started airing, and studio. I’ll have some analysis later this week.

Having watched previous seasons of Mahoro and Hidamari, I knew what they were going to be about. Black☆rock Shooter? Not so much. Actually, I don’t particularly enjoy Vocaloid stuff so I never paid much attention to the BRS song. After hearing about its anime announcement I found the character design intriguing and the song was actually starting to grow on me.

So I decided to take a look at what Blackrock Shooter actually was.

BRS was originally an illustration by Huke. Vocaloid user Supercell/ryo then followed up with a vocaloid song. It was such a hit that GoodSmile Company even made a PVC figure of.. I DON’T EVEN KNOW HER NAME. Does she even have a name yet? Anyways, the anime looks visually stunning, check out the sreencaps courtesy of Danny Choo.

Is anyone worried that this anime is just based on a drawing/video and nothing more? or are you all just as excited as I am?

When the episode began, and I saw their awesome getup I knew this was going to be good.

This episode sets up, quite nicely, the making of the SOS Brigade’s Movie for the school festival. More importantly, this is the arc after Kyo Ani’s Endless Eight. So what do we get after eight episodes of the same events? The basics. We get what made Haruhi great in the first place. Her expressions, her randomness, her continuous verbal abuse and lack of respect for any of her club members.

KyoAni and Shaft need to gattai. It would be interesting if Kyon and Senjougahara ever met, considering how rebellious Kyon can be at times and Senjougahara’s crazy personality.

Prepare yourself for a Haruhi facial expression montage!

For some reason I keep seeing Yui’s face in the two caps above.

Note the eyebrows

Not really a facial expression. More of a Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann pose.

Her “I am unamused” look

Her “oh my, did I just reset the world?” look

I LOL’d. Reminds me of Grand Kaiser’s Goddess Hands from Yakitatte! Japan.

I like her feigned innocence look!

She’s been doing the eyebrow thing alot this episode!

OOH! I like this one!!

and not a second later she can be all smiles

Again with the eyebrows!

This one is cute~

Annnd that’’s it. Looking forward to the rest of Sigh.

Something I noticed was that usually the episode title would have I, II, III etc if they are a multi episode arc. Endless Eight, however, never had them. Perhaps the eight episodes will really be treated as one episode? That ay we can get Sigh and Disappearance this season!

… well one can always dream right?
