As I alluded to, that scene was romantic in an ultra-cheesy way, which I kind of liked, but I would have liked it better if it had felt earned.

Huh, finally an episode delivers with the ancient demons of fitness premise. Intro was pretty neat too and would be right at home in a fantasy show that played it straight.
Three episode rule prevails but it's a shame this was the only good one.
Hey it even looked better this time. Maybe it always looked good but I never could pay attention to it.

Nah I'll totally own up on GAF to whatever perverse deeds I've committed before getting carted off and doing a dime in prison.

Really? Psycho Pass seems like it could be done well in 13 or so episodes...
K, on the other hand for a fall anime, needs the 22+ episodes...

You'd be surprised by how many folks I know here who don't have any Japanese or even a desire to learn the language while here. They tend to get by just fine.
Hopefully the newtamina curse doesn't kill this and RN.
I think I'd be too self-conscious about projecting an "ugly American" image by demanding that everyone speak my language instead of their own. It's only fair that if I'm living in their country I try my best to adapt to their society instead of the other way around, I guess.
Besides, given the opportunity to learn a new language through immersion, why wouldn't someone?

Ah, gotcha. I thought you were only referring to liking the
bridge-jump scene at the end
Come to think of it, I believe the Ouran manga actually borrowed a couple plot ideas from the anime ending much later in its run, but used them in the context of the manga's ongoing story arc. I might be wrong about that though.

I know Korea is basically a party for English teachers, so I imagine Japan could be exactly the same if you'd want it to be.

Liked that one a lot, the characters really do look nice. Do we still not know episode count?

Good mindfucked or bad mindfucked?
I don't know; in some ways Psycho-Pass is reminiscent of Eden of the East. Unless that also falls under newtaminA.

I wish I knew the answer because every time I see somebody like that, I can't even begin to comprehend what they're thinking.
The one with the thumb ring and black fingernails. So punchable.

No! I think I kind of like him a tiny bit more than the other one, I mean, he looks like a unique main character dude.
A bit of both really. I couldn't recommend this on its own as part of the mindfuck was that it defied exactly what I was expecting from a follow up to one of the worst episodes of the entire series. It wasn't really that good an episode either, just unexpected really. I'd say more about what actually happens in the episode but I don't want to spoil anything as that would pretty much ruin the whole thing even if it's kinda predictable.
YMMV when it comes to this episode.
I'm actually kinda looking forward to Psycho-Pass and Robotics;Notes but I wasn't expecting both to be 2 cour shows.
*pours Henny for Kayos*
Team Asuna will go on without you.
I don't want to tempt fate (if you could call it that...) like Kayos did... so I won't say anything.. but as far as Manami goes... "I never liked her ass anyway".
Yay someone else just started watching this! As for the OP I figured it was a placeholder OP and as you've seen with episode 3, it was. Still very lazy though lol...
You of all people know how much more material is in store for SAO after this current series is over... Kirito going to still be ranking in 2022.... Men wanna be him, woman wanna have dinner with him and than fuck him.
Aint no "If" about, probably going to sell 30k at this rate.. and A-1 like to churn out sequels... I think the only 10k+ seller A-1 haven't made a sequel to is Kannagi... and that has obvious reasons... not to mention the Ordet thing.

That sounds fine to me. The development was handled earlier and clearly wasn't the focus of the story by the half-way point.

2 weeks suspension is nothing. One of my friends got that for shoving a plate of donuts in a teacher's face.
Is this really ending in a few weeks? I don't want it to
. Hopefully it's just a timeslot switch.

Good. Good.
Sengoku Collection 24:
Heh. That's about all I can say about the episode.
I'm okay with this.
back next week. I guess the show is
at this point.
The recurring pairing of red and black in the backgrounds was an interesting artistic touch, even if it worked better some places than others and the locales were generally too pedestrian to take full advantage of it:
so this is where the magic happens

I was all geared up to make a post complaining about how idiotic the idea of an idol running away with her stalker is, but then that happened.

So, what you're saying is they ripped off the visual style of
Don't forget the woman with the black hair and the red dress.
I'm fully aware that it's been done many times before, but I still thought that it was worth pointing out.
Yeah, that too. I keep telling myself that I need to stop watching anime when I'm 3/4ths asleep so that I can actually remember what happens.

It's Japan/Asia. Telling someone you want to be an artist is like telling someone you want to commit career/life suicide.
Eh, that's not only true in Asia!

I don't even know if I am a fan of the first season anymore, especially if the direction is as awkward throughout the original series as it is in the first episode of season two. It's making me doubt my own recollection of the show.
Looking good! Also a bit more hyped for this since I read that FukuJun is voicing the male VA, shit gunna be good.
Well to be fair Yui was way more of a dick in that episode, though the end was so good, liked how the ED theme kicked in @ that point to punctuate it.
He posted a little on AS as well, I think his last post on that forum was "the character designs for AKB0048 are good, what's wrong with them?".
Hopefully that means 2 supercell ending themes!

Well, at least you have G Gundam listed in there. Unfortunately I feel that Zeta is kind of a bad series in terms of hugely inconsistent direction, awful pacing and terrible characters.

You know, that sounds awfully similar to the set-up of Cyber City Oedo 808, except in that series the Enforcement Officer was a wisecracking robot and everyone is wearing bombs collars to stop them escaping:
Don't be that guy!
Did it air in cinemas already? What was the general feedback for this ducky? Positive or thumbs down?
How would I know. I'm not going to read spoilers!

And here I thought that nothing could make me more frightened of flying than I already am.
This episode also has to be the least-romanticized depiction of a

what about the fact that she's an expy of a character that already exists in the show!
Actually I would say that Urobuchi's influence is probably from Equilibrium as that is the main twist of the movie and he's a very big fan(he wrote fanfiction for it).
I am worried though that there are going to be a lot of stand-alone episodes instead of a tightly written narrative.
Although totally anecdotal I've heard nothing but terrible things about it from everyone who's
ever visited
Hence my
putting a question mark after "girl" when describing her, lol.
Although I think I saw tits at the end of the episode.

has there been any animated footage of psycho pass yet, or is all this hype excreting out of duckroll?
You say that like you need something else?
