Ah, I was wondering where you were! Welcome back!
Godot doesn't approve of this logic.
Don't worry Corvo, it'll all get better in After Story.
Clannad 1 is generic high school trash.
Clannad 2 is a beautiful love story that made me unable to enjoy any other high school romance. (Though we'll see how Toradora holds up in that regard when I get to it).

This must be the work of an enemy stand!
Hidamari Sketch 4
So in this episode we have possible yuri (between background characters), cross-dressing
, Karaoke with ACTUAL SINGING (looking at you, One Week Friends!), and the cruelest little girl. Also came dangerously close to a SHAFT head tilt.
Really enjoying this show, it just doesn't lend itself well to giving impressions.

Don't worry. That'll show up.
Generally thats how people felt. There would have been so much bitterness if it ended differently.
I think we can tell who your choice is
how did you find out?! lol...
Well the sad thing is that Tsugumi seems like the least relevant girl out of the 4..
Shes pretty amazing though.

Stop giving me reasons to start watching a show!
If it didn't end with
his mothers ring on her left hand
Phoenix Wright has a lot of power over me. It's the reason I watched Haruhi and it's the reason I started No Game No Life.
Just 5 seconds of reference can get me to watch a show.....

No Game No Life 04
While the goals are just to not be beaten and to eventually become gods - and they're currently the King, which as Sir Patrick Stewart tells us, is a good thing to be - Sora and Shiro are still likable for me by a combination of factors. One is that there's two of them, with Shiro providing the balancing factor to keep Sora's modesty in check. The other is that Sora's pledge of weakness as strength and his initial problems with public speaking (and his petty insistence on challenging Shiro for the kingship) continue to paint him as the kind of huge dork who I like to have a protagonist, while providing enough "cool" for everyone else. That speech about weakness was almost kind of inspiring. And Tet/Kugyuu provides some interesting ideas as well. It feels, once again, like we've reached the end of the first novel.
Now, I know that Yukarin was cast as one of the Flugel, and I can't wait for her to join the cast.

I know. that show was such a rollercoaster. It tried SO HARD to fuck everything up so many times.
It's a shame they recycled plot devices so much when they were adapting this into a show. Kaga top tier waifu.

DTL is watching Date A Live before me. It's hard to think of a clearer sign that I need to sort my priorities out.
Im kind of amazed really. You love Kurumi so much (she shows up around episode 7 by the way)

[Hunter x Hunter] - 117
Between the start of episode 111 and the end of episode 117 five minutes have passed.
Five.
The narrator confirmed it. The narrator, who used to be a barely present voice in the story and who now narrates after every single minute action is undertaken. That narrator.

Spoilers, bro. Between now and 127 someone might have walked across a room or something. I don't wanna be spoiled on that deep stuff.

I don't think Evilore is alone in his feelings. It's been my impression that the majority of people dislike the Chimera Ant arc and the people who still think Hunter X Hunter is a good series are in the minority.
So are we talking about DBZ levels of plot stretching?

The Chimera Ant arc wasn't doing it for me at episode 80, now I'm afraid to see what it'll be like 50 episodes later.

It comes and goes. The highs are pretty high but it's extremely flabby on the whole.

Well no, not exactly. In DBZ IIRC for the most part there was only one fight going on for a loooong time.
In HxH, things are certainly happening, but it's happening so fast that the show feels like it needs to slow down and explain every single detail of what's going on. And it's not just one fight. There's a bunch of other things going on at once at the same time.

Not really. The majority of people find a small 10-15 episode stretch of episodes poorly paced, but few outright dislike the arc. In fact, Jex is the first person I've seen say the early sections of the arc are poorly paced.
At least in the OT, there are still more positive impressions than negative, and it's not like activity has dropped in there. Overall, I'd say the arc is mixed with more likes than dislikes.

I think it's more 30% dislike, 70% like.
Anohana 6
I really am at a loss here.
That's just such an alien concept to me, I really can't relate.
Anaru's subplot was much more interesting, however, and is something I haven't seen much in anime.

Menma not wanting her mom to remember her, so that she doesn't have to suffer?
I can understand her not wanting her mom to suffer, but to want her to forget is just too extreme. The empty room was heartbreaking enough.

I wouldn't really compare it to Fukumoto Pacing. In HxH, stuff is still happening all the time. 5 minutes may have passed, but we've gotten hours of content with all the perspective shifting.
How effective that is is another story.

So is Frieza the narrator or something?
Heh.
In DBZ it was pure padding and losing time. In HxH, there are ~15 people to follow around a lot can happen in only five minutes because lots of them are fighting at high speeds.
edit: 20, counting all he secondary characters. Gon, Killua, Knov, Morel, Shoot, Knuckle, Meleoron, Ikalgo, Netero, Pouf, Yupi, Pitou, Meruem, Wolfie, Claws, moe Nen remover ant, human secretary, Killua's gramps, Palm, cheetah.

been listening to all the precure henshin musics on repeat for no apparent reason my commute. It's fascinating how there is a definite 'template' used, for at least the more recent ones, in which you can pretty much match one season's footage with another's music pretty much in sync.
man im bored.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood 1-10
Definitely feels like they are rushing through the material that was covered by the previous anime iteration. Kinda shocked that
Love the OP and especially the ED.

Tucker already bites the dust, as he played much bigger role in the previous version.
Some of the events ended up making me feel it really is best to dig into Brotherhood after watching the original (well, Conqueror of Shambala can be skipped) just to be surprised at some of the changes that happened.

So Takeda getting a master arc and the Underground Fighting arc. I wonder if they'll actually decide to make a new season for the show.

Who are these people
Chaika 04
Wasn't expecting more than one dragon girl this season. Much less one who's
. Chaika continues to be as adorable as ever. Akari's ability to conjure up a backstory out of nowhere is something. And since she has Chiwa Saito's voice, Fredrica could be rising up to be my second favorite member of the cast.

That was some bluff they pulled. How many episodes is this again?

You haven't reached the real highs yet, though.
But yeah, I can see how the pacing of this arc may be a problem for some people. I loved it personally, and definitely wouldn't compare it to DBZ, since there's a lot of stuff going on at the same time, and it's definitely moving. It just sets out to achieve a certain type of heavy atmosphere, and I'd say it largely succeeds.
