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.

I guess, but I kinda get the feeling they're pushing Masayoshi and Ishihara. Maybe I misread that scene.
 
Besides, they already had the yuri pandering with Moe anyway.

Yeah that's a part of the show that really brings it down.

We're losing the otaku with crazy shit not happening, hurry have these two make-out on screen

I guess, but I kinda get the feeling they're pushing Masayoshi and Ishihara. Maybe I misread that scene.

They were hinting at it maybe, and personally that's the pairing I've been hoping for since early on in the series. But
not much happened this episode and it's the first real time they went over it. With one episode left I don't think they'll have him fall in love 5 minutes and end up with her. He didn't really show any signs of liking her
 
Samurai Flamenco Ep 21

The next episode title is the 2nd most memorable part of the episode. If it delivers a ton of scenes it really propel this to the upper echelon of good anime this year.

Love the love theme. I would want it to come to pass to really make it the actual ending for Goto and Masayoshi. Though if its Seiji and Masayoshi as some thematic sacrifice :/

I honestly wouldn't even mind Goto and Masayoshi, to be completely honest. Masayoshi never loving a woman and Goto being so obsessed with Masayoshi to the point where he texts himself about him makes pretty decent sense. If Masayoshi x Manager doesn't happen, I could settle for the former.

In any other show you would certainly be correct.

But this is Menco, and things gotta happen.
 
Pupa 11

Only 3 minutes of footage left and we'll be done with one of the most disappointing shows of all time. The ball could not have been dropped any harder.

Mahou Sensou 11

So that was kind of an interesting episode I guess. I wasn't expecting
Kurumi to find allies within the walls of the Ghost Trailer fortress. Definitely getting the whole "not so different" feeling here, like Ghost Trailer in general aren't really bad guys per se, they just have a different perspective. As for the details of that perspective...I guess we might find out more next episode, considering the enlightening conversation Kurumi is having with the organisation's leader.

Oh, and of course dat kiss. Hotaru is pretty cute. I was deeply amused by
how stupidly easily she went down in battle. And after bragging that she could take both of them on at once, too XD

bad gameplay lol
Golden Time 23

This episode is going to fuel so much Banri x Mitsuo yaoi. SO MUCH.

Kinda sad/disappointed that they had to resort to the whole "Banri freaking out and losing his memories" thing one more time. Kinda felt unnecessary. But anyway, 2D-kun proves himself a total bro, Nana sleeps in Banri's bed because reasons, and...apparently Banri loses his memories for good (?) at the end of the episode? Which we don't get to see, of course. I still don't think that's how amnesia works, but whatever. Maybe I'm wrong. One more week, let's see how this plays out.

And because I forgot:

Seki-kun 12

Seeing Rumi get so into Seki's shenanigans is wonderful.

Wooser S2 10

Panzer Vor!
 
With Date A Live vol 10's release and the Arusu Install updates, it's been a pretty damn good day for Kurumi cultists.

Incidentally, it turns out that the OVA releasing with Date A Live Encore 3 in December is indeed "Kurumi Star Festival", aka dat wedding dress. So that means I've got about 9 months to live.

Bakemonogatari BDs also turned up in the post today, but that's less important.

I don't think Retrograde Amnesia works that way. Oh well, fiction will be fiction I suppose.

Sucks this will be ending next week, I've really been enjoying this.
 
Nagi no Asukara (Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea) Episode 24

Akira moments are too cute.

How would anyone turn down Tsumugu like that, his most expressions and he even hugged. If I were there, I would have definitely not run away. Kaname too, though I hate that its making him seem like the lonely loser. And then everyone running with the delusion that Manaka and Tsumugu. Only thing needed was some Miuna action and Hikari, both seemed to have way too toned down roles this time.

Back to important copy pasting PR from twitter, the rest of GAF couldn't find without us: based on solicitation Chaika will be 12 eps, first volume looks fancy: http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00J49U0PS/ Dem shoes though lol



Edit: here's a CM as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FojNbOArRVA

looking better and better

You know, LN premises that glorify otaku culture and consumerism are really something else. It goes beyond the snake merely eating its own tail to sucking down its own shit thinking that it tastes amazing. I can't think of another medium that exists solely to validate and laud its readers' warped and self-destructive approach to society and social interaction so that they continue purchasing more in an endless cycle. It's an exploitative industry that consumes its own consumers by enveloping them in the delusion that their lifestyle is actually glamorous. Kirino and Kirito are the anime industry's Joe Camel.

Anime is very adept at this but so are games and movies. Every medium likes to glorify itself.

Jesus Christ, really? This is almost like JJ Trek ruining Star Trek for me at this point. I'm afraid of seeing hints of Ghost Taiga in Toradora now.

Using a search function isn't nearly as creepy as watching anime.

no one outside the internet has ever made fun of my anime watching. Its kinda weird really. Well I guess my dad calls it a waste of time, if that counts.

So I said I'm going to get DSII on PC because I want to play the game and I immediately get insulted sarcastically. Way to go gaming side, you're such swell people.

They simply dont understand that PC gaming is better.
 
Yuyushiki 12 END


All told this was a pretty enjoyable, if inconsistent show. It's probably fitting that it went out on such a low key note, given that it was never really about anything. Kinema deserve credit for producing something so watchable and surprisingly endearing out of some inconsequential material. It had issues, like not properly leveraging the extended cast once they were introduced, and some of the characterizations crossing over a bit too much, although I liked some of the jokes centered around that. It would have been great if every episode had matched the quality of the best the show had to offer, but I'm definitely happy I watched it, and I would watch a hypothetical second season that's almost certainly never happening.

I just put that spoiled plot point up with Ghost Banri in terms of the same category of crap that the show seems to be willing to pull in order to create drama. lol

What were you expecting them to do?
Banri's amnesia is kind of core to the entire story, you know.

Now of course if you want to get on them for not being medically correct then be my guest!
Personally, I don't really care.
 
Golden Time 23

Banri doesn't deserve Koko.

This.


Good episode but man I really hope they don't screw up the finale.


Also decided to marathon Toradora cause I kept seeing it mentioned here, man it was great, each ep got at least one laugh out of me. Couple tears by the end and some feels but reading what someone posted about the LN ending vs the Anime one, I think I prefer the LN one
 
Samurai Flamenco - 21

I'd come up with another theory on what could happen next with this surprising turn of events, but I won't.

Because all things Flamenco themselves will probably read this post and rewrite the future so that the show does something other than what I expect it to do, and somehow go even further. So I'm not going to say...anything.

Sakura Trick 11

This episode was a time of great revelations for Mitsuki-kaichou.
First she finds out about Haruka and Yuu's kissing escapades, and then she finally realises the truth about her own feelings for Haruka! ...Seriously how did it take her so long to work that one out XD

Also, Sumisumi-kaichou is a fun new character.

Also also, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS.

I see good anime as the outliers among the sea of decent to crap. But that doesn't mean I'll stop watching.

But thats true of everything. Thats how you know some things are great. Because otherwise they arent outliers.

Banri doesn't deserve Koko.

thats true. She belongs with me obviously.

Well it looks like Putin is tapping into potential of power that is Kawaii

I seriously can't wait for Date A Live season two. I hadn't realized until now the tenth volume of the LN released.
