That doesn't actually work. Unless the floor causes a lot of friction, like if it has a carpet.

Well it would still make a noise when it topples over.

And failing that there is the backup plan. No man would dare remove another mans hand's from their pants. Being trapped in an MMO, that is man's last sacred pleasure.

Haibane Renmei 5

Enter Nemu the librarian.

*Jumping to an important piece of information Nemu shares* She informs Rakka of another faction of Haibane. My assumption is that their existence feeds the parallel for the common label, "wrong side of the tracks", in terms of the race. Additionally, Reki seems to be moderately acquainted with the group. This element will most definitely be expanded on in the future (I think). Though, I question how important the specifics really are. Perhaps the Haibane Reki eloped with got her into smoking?

All the while, Rakka contemplates her place in this new world (again). She has a hunger for knowledge seemingly hidden from her conscious on her whereabouts before Haibane birth and the worth of her life after the fact.

Furthermore, when Nemu reads her Beginning of the World book aloud, she mentions the Haibane as mistakes while humans were the "correct product." Is this a sense of inferiority amongst some Haibane or is it simply an explanation to their (apparent) smaller numbers than humans?

In any case, things are taking their time, but I see the world-building potentially paying off later on. "Potentially." I look forward to seeing more of the environment fleshed out (as well as what I mentioned last week).

Nemu is sleepy-moe.
The more Haibane watchers the better.
There is definitely a payoff to all this, but be prepared to have several questions not answered. Abe intentionally kept some things vague and open to interpretation. I think for the better.

That's not a real thing or?

[Narag]

It would be funny if the games has some bugs like some people are stuck in a wall or something.

Need some guy to make himself rich via a gold exploit and sink the economy!

[Defuser]

In SAO, if people can use an exploit to kill you in your sleep why don't they just lock the door? Or lean a chair against it? Or leave their hands down their pants?

Actually the resting rooms in SAO are programmed to be 100% unbreakable/crackable so no amount of high level lockpick can break into the room. Players are safe when sleeping in a inn.

[cajunator]

Sure it is. 100% bonafide DORAMA.

Wolf Children That was amazing. Absolutely, stunningly amazing. The core is so very simple but it's told with such elegance and restraint that it's- oh, man. I'm going to go out and watch it in a cinema again when it launches in September. I just have From Up On Poppy Hill left to watch, I'll do that tomorrow.

Have I ever told you how much I hate you. :p

When will it be my turn to experience the Hosodapocalypse. ;_;

[M_Night]

Probably the funniest scene from Hyouka episode 16, in links so as to not spoil it: Houtarou, you shy boy.

that scene was hilarious. been through similar situations before and one time they noticed. was awkward :lol

[kayos90]

Nice pose Irisu. Nice pose...

[KO Traveling Hobo]

It would be funny if the games has some bugs like some people are stuck in a wall or something.

The old bug in WoW where you'd get stuck in the looting animation would be pretty great. People just sliding around everywhere while crouching.

[RurouniZel]

Very 70s

[SDBurton]

I thought you were going to say "why are you going to design a character like that, she looks awful". You've let me down.

Originally I was going to say tacky, but I cannot ignore the bigger issue which is not completing the dominatrix set. That's the bigger crime in my eyes.

[SDBurton]

oda nobuna no yabou - 05 Man, why did Hanbei have to go from a dapper priest dude to a uguu~ loli. 1. You'd think that after all this time he'd have to change out of his school clothes. I wonder how much he smells. Perhaps it's the musk that draws in all the lolis. 2. I think Asai is a girl. That knife gives it away. Oda continues to be completely useless. Will keep watching.

1.) Lolis are so lewd.
2.) I'm hoping this is the case. I really am.

Asai sound like a dude though!

Prince types!

[Dedication Through Light]

The Accel World OST has some really nice songs, Sky Dream and Iron Will are my favorites.

Yeah it does. Although far from my favorite.
It works for the show.

Good for you.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm not jealous.

At all.

[SDBurton]

Sora No Woto 7.5 SDBurton would approve.

Looking forward to it.

Sword Art Online - Episode 5 After Batman Begins (episode 2), The Dark Knight (episode 3), and The Dark Knight Rises (episode 4), we're now in Law & Order: SAO. Lol. This episode was pretty fucking hilarious. Most of it was just kinda silly, but rather novel, but then the final scene at the end was just ROFLMAO. Those expressions, the direction, the laziness of the animation, it was like watching Higurashi all over again. I hope we get more of that serious overacting stuff in the next episode as well. Lololol.

Please don't make the show sound interesting to watch, I've already happily dropped it.

[duckroll]

That wasn't supposed to be a positive impression. I'm sorry it came off that way! We all have our ways of dealing with pain...

[cosmicblizzard]

Guilty Crown and I don't get how Shu loses his sight afterwards.

He absorbed a shitton of the virus, so that's why he lost his sight. He probably should have lost a lot more than that though.

[kayos90]

If there is an eavesdropping skill and such perhaps there is a lockpicking one? They should have a rule where you cant die in a town though.

You essentially can't die unless you consent to a method that will lead you to death. Like a duel.

[Jexhius]

That wasn't supposed to be a positive impression. I'm sorry it came off that way! We all have our ways of dealing with pain...

It's hard to tell in there :(

[kayos90]

It's hard to tell in there :(

I could tell. If I can tell, it's fairly obvious unless... are you not being serious with your comment? -_-''

[cosmicblizzard]

So GAF any of the recently aired new anime series worth watching? Also, lat ep. of Fairy Tail I watched was 128, which I believe is part of a filler, should I bother watching the remaing eps. after that or just skip to a certain ep.?

Binbougami ga is worth watching.

As for FT, maybe... It's still in filler, and it's a really damn weird one too that's kind of messing with canon. In the end though, it won't have any bearing on the plot, so you can just wait for it to get back to canon.

[Watanabe Kazuma]

It's hard to tell in there :(

The best write-ups always belong to the worst shows!

[Razgriz-Specter]

Mobile Suit Gundam 0083
Interesting first episode. I think im going to like this series.

[firehawk12]

Well, considering the real Asai married Oda Nobunaga's sister, does that mean this Asai will marry Oda Nobuna's brother? Hmmm.... Oda Nobuna 5 +1 loli added I wish they had explained what the stone pillars would actually do, and how it was supposed to force them into the swamp.

1) Does that mean Nobuna has another sister who has been turned into a brother... or would her sister remain a sister. There are no rules!

2) I just assumed it was some well known historical fact that people who care about the Sengoku stuff would know.

TARI TARI 6 I'm seriously crying right now. I've just finished watching it and the emotion... Oh god the emotion. T_T

They tricked you. :(

Sora No Woto 6 This was a really well made episode, the character animation had a significant boost, there was a fun action scene, the multiple perspectives were interesting, and there was some nice character development for several people. The background art has been good in every episode so far, this was no exception. So that's one mystery about this particular platoon solved, they're making alcoholic beverages in the basement. I can't help but think there's plenty more mysteries still, considering everything else that's happened before. Will Kanata ever get that dolphin?

This was that Rashomon-esque episode, wasn't it?

Sora No Woto 7 Well, the ED really killed the mood on this episode. I'm still not a fan of Filicia's pretence of being an air-head, but she got some much needed screentime this episode to build her up. I wonder what significance Noel being the only one not to light a lantern might have. Also, it seems Rio has a very interesting background...

You're sort of at the pivot point of the show now. Well, after the next episode anyway. 7.5 and 8 are pretty much filler.

Is it the one where Kanata has to pee but she has to watch for a phone call?

Episode 8.

Now and Then, Here and There - 09 How does she even stand him, holy fuck

I did kind of wonder that while watching NTHT. she puts up with a LOT of shit. but then I think about all the officers that loyally followed Hitler and every command. Abelia is like that.

[dakkumauji]

Gintama 30

It's a mystery, a mystery, mystery!

Big plus for Gintoki and Kagura for cosplaying as a bunch of random well known and not well known detectives.

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei - 07

The different artstyles of Zoku Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei

And the magical girl opening. The show will always have a special place in my heart.

I've seen this comparison before, but i don't think it's really fair. Both are insane, but at least Hitler delivered for Germany and he actually managed to speak in public.

All Hamdo did in 9 episodes is slapping little kids around.

It makes you kind of wonder what Hamdo may have done TO Abelia to where she is so loyal. Was she abused? Does she have stockholm syndrome?

Oh the truly magical episode of season 7. It starts going downhill from here on out.

Whoa, this wasn't too far off!

That was such a masterful parody (and a great game as well)

Misguided loyalty. It's implied he wasn't always that way and whatever he did previous to the series was enough to inspire such a level of loyalty.

Misguided loyalty. It's implied he wasn't always that way and whatever he did previous to the series was enough to inspire such a level of loyalty.

I have no idea what could instill the kind of loyalty she had. She was well aware of the fucked up stuff Hamdo was doing and she just obeyed him.

Lloyd, you scheming fiend!

[Dresden]

So with the existence of tulpas, wouldn't it be possible to make manifest your own waifu? With enough discipline and training, I think the average anime nerd would be able to project their own Horo or Miku.

The problem would be when they take on a life of their own and go off to NTR their creators, at which point you'd have to destroy them.

[SDBurton]

Rinne no Lagrange - 06

I always knew that dude Balance was shady. Guess he'll show his true nature shortly.

Sugar crashed Lan is cute.

[Narag]

I have no idea what could instill the kind of loyalty she had. She was well aware of the fucked up stuff Hamdo was doing and she just obeyed him.

Whatever he did to inspire his followers was irrelevant.
Last ep spoilers: you could tell it wore on her as she was acting as a buffer between him and the rest of Hellywood. This was more or less her story arc as she struggled with that loyalty and doing what was right. That's the reason the scene with her looking at Hamdo's drowned corpse is probably my favorite in the series as its ambiguous enough to make one wonder if she got there too late or let it happen as it needed to.

Actually the resting rooms in SAO are programmed to be 100% unbreakable/crackable so no amount of high level lockpick can break into the room. Players are safe when sleeping in a inn.

Well then it just sounds like they are idiots for sleeping in non safe zones.

You essentially can't die unless you consent to a method that will lead you to death. Like a duel.

That's why it's an exploit. It seems the agreement to duel is a shared UI so you just need their finger. Really it should require a password or the agreement requires a two way agreement from both individuals UIs.
