Do you have any examples of this happening? I've only known of examples where it happened because of some sort of higher intervention.

Didn't Blasty escape a perm from bish's creepshot lawnmower?
Don't listen to him, that trilogy is good, IMO. Finish the third book and form your own opinion by then.

It's been pretty damn painful going through the first 2 and I'm not much of a reader in the first place, so I think I'm good once I finish the 2nd.

the proverbial calm before the next shitfit
That's the biggest macaroon I've ever seen.
Reading your impressions, something just occurred to me.
Isn't this Banner of the Stars (Seikai no Senki) rather than Crest? I am pretty sure the Baron and the maid army doesn't appear anywhere in Crest.
Admittedly, the first and second books was a bit of a slog to get through with all the unanswered questions of metals and their opposing elements and whatnot but all that, and more, is answered beautifully in the third book.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 17
Actually I dont think we have, considering its like a whole new pool facility, Koizumi brought something new to the pool, the list is one column instead of two, and the restaurant is different. I dont know when he says that line about the scene it makes me laugh, perhaps something is wrong with me as Im enjoying these episodes a bit too much just for the sake of the lines and finding differences.
Though I still get a bit annoyed at the end where everyone is clueless and watch Haruhi leave and then hes like he'll not do his homework and let his next self worry about it. Shouldnt they be holding a brainstorm sessions to find someway out of this situation. Haruhi cant really be that complicated to not be able to figure out what they need to do in order to satisfy her for this summer? Koizumi embrace suggestion may work I think. Unless of course there is some other unknown method that Im just not seeing to escape. If they can really logically pull something mindblowing to resolve this situation I will be thoroughly impressed
You are so close to figuring it out. Anyway, good job on not turning into a seething ball of rage.

Baron is crest. Least good part of Crest too! Well kinda, looking back it wasn't that bad. I must have been salty at the time.
His sister is Banner and the events ending on the next episode he's watching are a big theme on Banner I.
Good, good. I wonder how many perma-juniors actually know this :lol
Especially in cases of mistaken identity.
Yes, but then how did he repay us? Like three posts in the thread. I don't even know if I've seen him on GAF at all lately. You don't ostensibly escape a junior perm just to casually use that account! bish's mercy is too rare for that!

I don't even care about answers. I just want shit to get real. None of this political intrigue bullshit. I want action. And I want Vin to die a fuckin horrible death.
I got through the first 2 and thought it was so-so. I liked the magic system since there were very rigid mechanics (as opposed to the "magic" in Harry Potter or Malazan that are pretty random). The 3rd one is really awful though. If you didn't like it up to the 2nd book, I'd say don't even bother with the 3rd, The self-insert is strong in that one.
Ah, shit you're right. The Baron happens in between their meeting and the Earth thing. That part totally slipped my mind since its sandwiched by the two major events in Crest.

Man I just realized I should be all over this. How interesting are the episodes though? Any nifty tricks with telling the folktales?

Clannad After Story 9 - 16
It started off so well with Tomoya finally getting settled and on his own, and family stuff and what not but then sad thing then happy thing then well one of the most saddest events Ive ever encountered in an anime since Angel Beats even. I wondered why someone would write this let alone animate it as it was just way too tough to go through and watch, even worst I was already tearing up before hand and hoping through someway supernatural elements would appear.
Electricians story was quite good though.

Nagisa, really died?! from child birth, what even, no second chance or something, just nothing, death and despair to viewers, her family, and ultimately Tomoya?! whyyy. Tomoya gets all emotional too, no way I bet he can recover from this or rather he will probably take it quite hard, hope he doesnt turn out like his dad but I guess that is going to happen. 
Electricians story was quite good though.
Forever tainted.
You are in for a big surprise soon.
It seems like some of the bigger Community threads are starting blogs and such of their own - why not us?
It needn't be a Grantland-style website or anything, but just a place to collect some of the more substantial pieces of writing might be nice.
In that case, what should it be called? Unfortunately Schoolgirl Milky Crisis is already taken.

Well, it varies from folktale to folktale and it certainly helps that they like to mix up the animation for each and every short which leads to some pretty surprising results. Just get ready to hear "mukashi mukashi" well over 100+ times.

Space Brothers 41:
These cliffhangers are relentless.
These episodes have been really focused on the current storyline, and they feel tense. I didn't like this episode quite as much as the previous, but it was really good, and I love seeing the characters having to make quick decisions with their survival on the line.
These cliffhangers are relentless.
Azuma was great in this episode, with some very timely advice. Mutta seemed to come up with some great insight, although it was really quick. Seeing Eddie Jay, though, I was trying to figure out how the hell he's Brian's brother. He looks 30 years older!
Hibito starting up the rover was a wonderful moment.
The baron arc is great, if only because of my bad-ass moment in it.

actually gonna kill Hibito, are you?
I don't think I could handle it if I heard Jexhius' voice for the first time and he didn't sound like a dignified old butler. We'll just end up destroying our mental images of each other.
Rofl. I'd be interested to hear how some of you sound.

We can just hijack Jexhius' blog. You know, the one with the detailed analysis of that panty shot in Bakemonogatari.
As for the podcast I'm not very comfortable with my accent.

This must be the most cliched episode of TV I've watched in ages. And yet I was entertained. But it did have more Kurugaya, which I'm always in favour of.
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha #3
Another enjoyable episode.
Though this slower pacing is really rough when you have weekly 20 minute installments. Frustrated I am. This would go much better for me in larger chunks I think. But I'm so anxious for more I can't just wait till the season is over. And I have no access to the light novels *grumble*
I'm also wondering just how much story you can tell at this speed with only 12 episodes.

so.....anybody know kickass late 80's/90's manly animes with gore, bloods and guts? and if ya guys do, name some...oh and is there some site where I can stream them?
Also, I was seeing this brutally gory anime from the 90's few years ago where some cops infiltrate a building, shit happens, then some dudes heads gets sniped with all that brain matter showing and stuff..so does anyone know the name of this anime? All I know that the protagonists were cops...not sure if they were special cops dealing terrorists however it was gory, graphic, manly, badass and cool.

if that podcast ever comes to fruition, whoever has a sexy voice should do a dramatic reading of that analysis

If they didn't shove this arc in our faces forever more I'd have forgotten it too tbh.
Not even that saves it sorry. Though I did warm to it over time!
We could all use an app like vocaloid and type out our lines or something of that description.
Sounds like a job for kayos.
what?
wait for that sony TV service son. why you waiting for those failures.
meanwhile, while certain motherfuckers who say that they are conserned about the western part of the animation industry are out fucking there girlfriends - ill be working making sure those excutives dont sleep well at night.
watch and learn anime gaf, a pissed off thundercats fan isnt somebody you mess with.
A vocaloid podcast? This really would end up like that one scene in Hyouka.
Through the power of technology we can all finally take a step closer to our ultimate goal of becoming cute 2D girls.
