Samurai Flamenco is not greater than Gundam Build Fighter or Log Horizon.

Looks like Tomo-kun may have somehow realized that what's-her-face has feelings for blue haired dude. I mean nothing explicitly said it but his face at the end of the conversation was pretty somber looking.

I'm thinking of watching/reading Great Teacher Onizuka. I hear I can watch the anime up till a point then continue with the manga.Can anybody more knowledgeable confirm this? I've been pushing off such a high rated show for a while might as well give it a chance now.

This episode made me realize that they're probably saying "ai" in the opening, not "ay".

IshiharaxMasayoshi almost happened, but we all know Goto is Masayoshi's true love so that particular OTP is probably doomed. :p

SPEAKING OF WHICH, that cliffhanger! This was a surprisingly dark episode on the whole. I like how, despite employing the nebulous concept of "love" being kind of cliche, that they drew attention to the negative side of love as obsession in addition to all the good stuff.

Man, I'm sad there's only one more episode left. Hope they go balls-to-the-wall crazy with it.


THE LINE BETWEEN STUPIDITY AND JUSTICE IS PAPER THIN.

For a moment I honestly thought they just weren't going to show the details of what happened after last episode's ending, but then BOOM RIGHT IN THE FEELS. This show is so fucking good you guys.

In addition to the Japanese Gaming Industry thread, people are livid over the pixiv images of the Crimea attorney general. Jeez.

I thought it was obvious my "somehow" actually meant "someone used a thread about Japan to rant about anime even though it was not related to the topic at hand."

Sure it is. Didn't you see the convincing argument I made when I used a mathematic symbol to make my point?

I'm clearly being very serious about this and it falls to you to now expend personal time to prove me wrong on this point that I made in all seriousness and staked my academic credibility upon.

I could do that but I don't think I am that bored today.

Engaged to the Unidentified 11

Benio is still the worst girl. How people can like this character is beyond my comprehension.

Banri's gonna keep on dancing until he forgets why.
Which he does. The narration says so, but the narration has also said that his past self and present self are different when all signs point to them being the same people, just with different social circles. Everyone has those at different times in their lives.
The friendship is strong here. Now, as for the romance.... that's for next week to settle.

Funny thread about Crimean attorney general being kawaii is the next thread to watch and wait to see how long before it devolves.
 
Golden Time - 23

Well it looks like all of Banri's friends are in the know now
well not sure about 2D-kun but I'll assume so (would be pretty messed if he wasn't). With the exception of him moving out anyway.

Dare I say it? This is one of the few (or the first, can't remember) time I actually like Koko.
Instead of being the clingy cliche she is, she acts for herself and breaks up/distances herself away from Banri, yay for character development; now that I know the reason anyway. Before this episode I always that Koko breaking up with Banri was just some convoluted reason.
 
I'm thinking of skipping through these two last episodes of GT when the last one comes out. I fucking hate the drama. I just want it to end now. One more week, one more week.

At least she didn't
suggest Hakuya and Kobeni go on a date then be the 3rd wheel on said date
. For a show about two people already engaged this show sure drags its progress.

I got her recently. I pat her on the head a lot. Shes so adorable!

The Toruru's Adventure stuff looks really creative. I wish it were a bit longer, since each short is probably less than 10 minutes long, but I loooooooove stuff like this.

First Dimension: Time Master (Director: Tatsuyuki Tanaka)



---

Second Dimension: Crazy Consumption (Director: Sayo Yamamoto)



---

Third Dimension: The Last of the Flowers (Director: Tomoyuki Niho)



---

Fourth Dimension: The Door to the Future (Director: Takashi Nakamura)

Love the art. Looooove it.

At least it's over next week.
Show had a lot of promise but has ultimately fallen completely on it's face. Next episode won't be able to redeem it in 23 minutes.

Magical Warfare 11

Those memory erasure spells aren't as strong as you'd think. Nor are shields that strong if they can't withstand more than one type of magic at once. The best part of the episode was definitely Kurumi's method of transforming into Hotaru. A little yuri moment in the middle of the fight that's gotten oddly personal for the warfare. Gekkou's being played as the bigger problem than the guy who restarted the war.

Mahoko's great, that much has remained consistent.

So the final enemy is going to be defeated by the magical power of true love's kiss between Hazama and Gotou, right? That's what I'm getting from all this "love" talk =p

What are people's opinions about Silver Spoon? Good show? Reading the synopsis gives me Non Non Biyori vibes, does it contain some healing as well?

As a well-written high school dramedy, it's somewhat like Hyouka with much more pep but much, much worse production values.

It also uses terrible CG for vehicles, which is probably why duckroll likes it so much. :p
 
Honestly if SamFlam ended with a gay couple, I think most folk wouldn't mind. It would have been done very well and wouldn't have forced the sexualized/fantasizing aspect of it like many yuri shows. I'd give them props for it as well.

Welp, caught up on Wooser's Hand-to-Mouth Life just in time for the final episode. Not a great anime, or even a good anime, but at least it has cute art and is short.

Oh, and it gave us this:

cnet should check it out.

Wow. What a great episode -- it had a really good ending. Can't believe there's only one episode left.

To celebrate the series finale of Golden Time, I'm having a contest. I'll be giving away two limited edition silkscreen printed posters that I commissioned. Here are the details:

Golden Time by Hebitsukai ( http://hebi.soragoto.net )

500GoldenTime_2_2forweb_zpseb8e8a6f.jpg


13"x10" 5 colors screenprint on China White Colorplan paper + iridescent gold varnish layer. Hand-Numbered Limited Edition of 16.

This piece is part of the Fancy-Poster GAF thread ( http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=441170 ) and previously did the Paprika ( http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr146/Celzero/IMG959114_zps2c83bfc5.jpg ) and Metal Gear Solid Commissions ( http://ashthorp.tumblr.com/post/72114494519/here-is-the-gray-fox-print-final-art-there-will ) there.

How to enter to win a poster:

1. Send me a PM with the answer to the following: Kaga Koko or Hayashida Nana? (deadline 3/26/2014).
2. Post a series review after the series finale airs next Thursday in this forum and pm me with the link.

There will be one winner from each category.

I also hope to do a Toradora commission in the future, in order to complement Golden Time.
