One Punch Man season 1 recap

Episode 1 - The Strongest Man
This is so ridiculous... a very boring character with a boring backstory and boring motivations defeats some crazy powerful supervillain monsters in one punch...

Episode 2 - The Lone Cyborg
Mosquito queen commands all the mosquitos to get blood for her, and she turns super powerful... some cyborg superhero guy is going after her, and fails to defeat her, then he sees Saitama defeat her easily in one punch... the cyborg Genus then becomes Saitama's apprentice. He babbles on a lot with his backstory until Saitama stops him and tells him to sum it up in 20 words or less...

Then we see the villain who was in charge of that mosquito lady... he sends a bunch of other monsters to try and capture Saitama after seeing how strong he is.

Episode 3 - The Obsessive Scientist
The villain is some old guy who dedicated his life to researching human evolution.. he eventually discovered some way to create evolved humans, and made clones of himself and started running a monster laboratory... the ultimate monster he created was supposed to be unbeatable, and it looked like Saitama was actually worried when this monster turned to his "rampage mode"... but actually he was just worried because he realized what day it was.

Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works high session 4 (finale)

Episode 23

Rin, Shirou, and Saber are now back safely at Shirou's home, planning their attack on the holy grail at Ryoudou Temple... Saber says she only has enough mana to unleash Excalibur one more time.

they get there, but aren't sure what to do... Shirou is about to just act without thinking and run in through the cursed muck.. then Gilgamesh approaches them... Saber can't help them because the fake Assassin has challenged her.

Gil explains that he wants to wipe out the humanity of this era, because there's too many of them, so their lives have little meaning now compared to the era he's from. Shirou goes to hold off Gil so that Rin can go through the goop and get to Shinji herself...

"You filthy sham, learn firsthand the difference between counterfeits and the real thing!"

meanwhile, Assassin, the Heroic Spirit Sasaki Koujiro, explains that he is not a normal servant, and that he is based off a fictional character who doesn't exist... he is merely a ghost who emerged solely to take the form of this servant, and he himself has no origin...
"I am empty, so all things are meaningless to me. However... If one thing could be said to give my existence meaning, it would be this moment."

the holy grail has already started spilling its guts...
"Those are wishes being drawn up by the holy grail... The true nature of you mongrels. The malevolence of humanity... To be able to grant any and all wishes... That is, to transcend the limitations of life, why is a wish not granted? That is because humans are inherently limited. Equality, peace, happiness... They are all the same. You, who are prisoners of your own flesh, will never be satisfied. That is why you humans constructed that Holy Grail. Not to be released from all suffering, but rather to conquer all suffering."
*laughs*
"But this is that ideal's end result. No desire to change the world is more powerful than human malevolence. But because it is fueled by malevolence, it uses self-annihilation as its means. That is your true nature."

... I just realized Gil's epiphany just now was the same as what that one bad guy from Kara no Kyoukai had...

oh man... a really creepy scene where Rin pulls Shinji out of the grail... and some disconnected arms come and try to grab her to get him back...
"I shouldn't be surprised that yanking out its heart angered it."

Gakuen Alice high session 1

Episode 1 - The School is Gone

oh wow, I forgot how cute this opening was.

the first ep covers the time when Hotaru had to transfer to Alice Gakuen in order to save her old school from being shut down... and then 2 years later Mikan learns about Hotaru's reason for leaving, and she runs away to go and meet her, and the teacher sees her and notices his powers didn't work on her, so he lets her take the entrance exam. pretty much the same as the manga so far... Mikan has a wierd Osakan accent.

Episode 2 - Welcome to Alice Academy

Mikan is in a room alone with an unconscious Natsume... some biology teacher comes in and explains to her that Narumi is a weirdo but not a dangerous guy, and says that Natsume IS dangerous and she should press the emergency alarm if she sees him open his eyes... then Natsume wakes up and threatens her to tell him who she is...

Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works high session 3

Episode 00 - Prologue

It shows Tohkasa grab her dad's pendant before heading out to school... the war hasn't started yet, but she noticed nobody else is outside..

Tohsaka: "Listen, Matou-kun... Not only am I not interested in archery, I'm not interested in you."
She goes upstairs and sees the student council president standing outside a classroom, waiting for Emiya to come out with a fixed machine..
"Where's the next one? If it's dead, I can't fix that. Buying a new one would be faster... You're here early, Tohsaka."
Tohsaka thinks to herself as she walks by... "Was that his way of saying hello?"

even the other girls in class give Tohsaka a lot of unwanted attention. some don't trust her.. "When she's smiling, she's at her scariest."

later on the roof she recalls how she found this pendant and some expired magical stuff in a chest in her attic... it messed up all the clocks in the house.
"But it won't help me summon Saber, the most powerful Servant."

back in her fancy expensive looking house... she gets a message from the priest. then does an amazing looking ritual to summon her servant..

Tohsaka when she meets Archer instead of Saber: "Wait, all the clocks in the house were an hour fast today..."
"Seems I've been drawn by quite the unusual little Master."
Tohsaka has to ask him to clarify that he is her servant... he instead asks for proof that she's his master. but it's not the command seal he cares about...
"I wanted to see if you are someon worthy of my loyalty."
"You grudgingly acknowledge me, but you won't listen to my opinions?"
"When fighting, I will call my own shots. Until this Holy Grail War ends, I suggest you sit tight in the cellar or something."
finally Rin gets mad at him and decides to use up one of her command seals to make him more obedient.
he says that her command seal was too vague and didn't work... "Even 100 command seals couldn't compel true, absolute obedience in every word and deed... normally that would be true... But it would seem your skill as a mage is extraordinary."
"Your words now carry a powerful compulsion for me. You are a powerful mage. I was mistaken in looking down on you as a child and trying to keep you from fighting."

"I'd just been summoned, so I wasn't yet fully acclimated. But now we are completely connected. As a mage, you should be able to
