You're a goddamn liar, Cajun.
And don't worry, Strawberry panic will go far beyond just suggested yuri.
Why did you post Tsumiki. shes a great character. although much of that manifests itself with cat ears. Which is fine with me of course.

So yeah... there needs to be more anime throughout the week.
No, she was an incredibly boring character in an incredibly boring show, whose sole character trait was that she was cute. Yet you claim that being cute isn't enough.
maybe things change in the last 11 episodes i've yet to watch but i highly doubt itEt tu, Wonzo?

She doesl ittle things with her ahoge and cat ears and expressions. For a show like Acchi Kocchi, Im not really searching for deep meaningful characters. For a showl ike Sword Art Online I kind of expect to see some depth. Many of the characters are one-2 episode only sorts in SAO, but its enough to get to know them and to understand what they are like.
In the case of Tsumiki, well shes in a little short comedy/cute girls doing cute things sort of show, so her little mannerisms and quirks are enough for me to like her as a character.
In Strawberry Panic, Im hoping for the characters to be explored in reasonable depth. with 26 episodes it shouldnt be an issue.
I'm not trying to make this a serious issue, it was just funny that you said that when it quite clearly isn't true.
she's the one with the lesbian harem of juniors that gets up to all kinds of stupid stuffI don't even remember her.

. I always seem to catch up at the wrong times, because now I have to wait for the next episode... Can't wait!
Oh and someone was pointing out the 3D mech in this episode earlier and just wanted to say that little pan of it was weird because after that shot it's 2D. I guess they needed some filler.
Things are really rolling now. And holy shit at
And they lived happily ever after.

She was a bit more genki than the rest of the cast, I think is what he means.

Strawberry Panic really was a poor man's Oniisama e.
Sounds like a :firehawk kind of show.

Which in turn is a poor man's MariMite!
Unlike MariMite, Strawberry Panic is actually a yuri show. ^^

Those were pretty good. These three short, independent stories showed the characters in unusual ways. Curiously, here "unusual" means "exactly like the would in a regular anime show". And I think the placement of these episodes - right after the long festival arc - was also very well-thought.
And episode 21 was intense as hell. Like, gooooood. This show would be amazing if the stakes were high all the time.

Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon II ep 10
Awesome sea battle and I cant wait to see more of that, I actually cant wait to rewatch it all back to back and in actual bd quality upon release, etc. Adele did decently as commander.
I hope we get a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and even a 6th season, so I hope it still super awesomely, was that like more than 20k per volume?

Seriously, the writers need to grow some balls and take the story and character development more seriously.
They would need to stray from the original novels to do that.
Strawberry Panic just serves to further prove that unless you have someone extremely talented like Dezaki working with the concept, stuffy 1% private academies are the worst setting in anime. Castle-like courtyards and dorms are a bore, oujosamas are the single worst character archetype in existence, and the infinite retread of issues of jealousy, hierarchy, and class is pretty insufferable. Oniisama e is amazing, but every other show that plays this stuff straight? Nope.

But now MAL is even taking standard English titles of Ghibli films and replacing them with their original Japanese titles - Spirited Away is now Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, Porco Rosso is now Kurenai no Buta, and so on. Apparently they're doing this in the name of consistency, but all I can see resulting from it is unnecessary confusion.
I just noticed that. I do not approve of this unnecessary weeabooization, MAL.
MAL being BITCHES now.
Huh. I still have "The Conqueror of Shamballa" and a couple of others in my list, though.
Well, as long as you can still find the works by their English titles, it's ok.
bu bu bu but the transformation and secrets clubs :<
weebs just gotta go and ruin everything
Two tidbits from last week's LN sales rankings:
- The 11th volume of Oreimo sold 79,690 copies.
- Sword Art Online volume 1 has now sold over 400,000 copies in its lifetime, supplementing a report from earlier this week that the series overall has over 5.85 million copies in circulation. If you actually crunch the numbers, you get about 2.85 million copies actually sold, for what it's worth.

This reminds me that you had said earlier that the main reason you had hesitated to watch Ouran High School Host Club is because it is set in one of these ultra-elite private academies for the ultra-rich. Now that I'm further into the show, I can say that a major part of it is a parody of the very concept of these kinds of academies, exaggerating the trope to the point of absurdity and providing Haruhi as a voice of reason in its midst. I don't know if this will make you more interested in the show, but there it is.
The only major problem comes if you're searching your own or someone else's individual anime lists, because that doesn't include alternative titles. So you'd have to know the Japanese title to find it.

Sailor Moon 20
Summer vacation "training" is all "fun and games" until.the little girl gets abused by her sick father and summons an uncontrollable ghost
Rei-Chan! <3
The interesting thing about this episode, other than Rei-chan of course, is that the little girl, I can't remember her name, is voiced by Yuriko Fuchizaki, who would go on to voice Anthy Himemiya in Utena. This marks her first vocal performance in the Sailor Moon series, where she voices a couple of more characters later.
Maybe you don't care but I'd thought I'd share anyway.

Haha, more advertisers need their actors or actresses to chomp down on their products like this! It might actually convince to buy the product instead of seeing the person take an obviously piddly little bite then proceed to chew as if they have a mouth full.
I personally never really understood the concept of "comfort food" but I really liked the art, expression and animation for the scene pictured above. The accompanying music used was, again, also very good.

Phi Brain 2 ep 23
This crossover, I love cross over arts, I remember coming across a Kuroko x Haikyuu one. But anyway this episode was awesome for lots of reasons.
This was the best part (near end ep spoiler
.
24 and 25 should be fun I hope and crossing my fingers for an s3. We need a Rook x Freecell x Kaito focused season where they take on some anti puzzle organization etc. Team up of the greats.

Jikukawa, Rook, Bishop, the team up of POG and Orpheus Order defectors, and Headmaster all working together in that cool building takeover.
This was the best part (near end ep spoiler
Freecell destroying Klondike sama was amazing and out of puzzle, and Melancholy just doing all of that, she was awful and so deserved it

When in doubt, look at my avatar.
I haven't even seen Un-Go.
It would be kind of great if they lived on completely different continents and the end of the game meant the end of their relationship.
I hope duckroll and co are on top of their game, 'cause I do not want to be spoiled.
it's a show full of cuteness
Damn. SAO selling like crazy.
I think that your assessment of what the show is like is probably what my assessment would be, so I value this input. I'll be sure to watch it before too long.
