This really shouldn't surprise me as much as it does.

Glass Fleet: Legend of the Wind of the Universe 02:
- Elizabethan ruffs used as LEGWEAR
- meido PAWNCH
- genki hooker pirate girls
- the wind weeps
- space catholic hindu scarecrow pizza-hat pope
- Ralph is weapons-grade boy moe
- stagecoach pederasty
- DRAMATIC HARMONICA CATCHING.
The gifs are just the tip of the iceberg. This is a mishmash of every conceit ever employed in the space opera genre taken to their logical extremes and completely debased of all dignity at the crossroads of Gonzo's lack of restraint, lack of talent, and penchant for the inhumanly fucking garish. Amazing.

You haven't seen anything yet.
The show doesn't even get stupid until the halfway point.
You're in for quite a ride.
Well no, that's not true. The show is a parade of stupid from the very beginning. It's just that the interconnected imbicility that encompasses the greater plot does not become clear until much later.

it wasn't that bad. it dropped at the beginning, and stayed consistent here.
And i've watched Working, it isn't THAT different.
But yeah, i do wonder if producer-san is drinking when he's off camera. His job isn't much different than being a special ed teacher eh?
Greatness.
Synchronized jumping for the inter-galactic Olympics?
Greatness.
Wait is this for real?
*checks episode*
Holy crap it is. This show is somehow even lazier than I remember it being.
yesssssssssssssssss
I look at it all, and I refuse to believe that it all could have come about simply as a result of incompetence or the mere failure to successfully "futurize" the Renaissance aesthetic. This surely must be someone's brilliant, mad, and completely deliberate masterpiece. There's a consistent vision running through everything.

Don't worry, Producer-san gets to the good idorus like Haruka, Miki, Hibiki, and Iori later. Right now he's spending pity time with the bad idorus!

Yuri everywhere, all the time. Yuri erryday!
Yeah, that bothered me too. I only saw the first few episodes of Atlantis but it seemed like they tried to rectify that point a little with having the team made up of people from different countries.
SG1 was ten seasons long and starting at about the seventh season I think it was, there was talks of the show being cancelled so they tried to wrap up the story but then it went for another season. That caused the story to come across as pretty awkward in those lost few seasons too.
Well, I couldn't come up with any other reasons.
I think that was also why I liked Fate/Zero so much in that most of the cast was more adult. I know the Japanese like their coming of age stories and that's fine but they could have more characters in university or something. There's still lot's you can learn and grow from at that age and point of time. If K-On! can do it others can too!
is it ready, yuri?

With the way she reacted I was starting to think she hooked her cat up to into the damn game or some shit.
I CAN'T STOP WALKING INTO ALL THESE CONVENIENT TENTACLE TRAPS

The look on her face (a few frames after this, couldn't get a good shot) right before they mentioned
it was someone from the guild made me think SHEDIDITSHEDIDITSHEDIDIT
SHEDIDNTDOITSHEDIDNTDOIT
Yuri makes the world go 'round. At least in that world.
lol. Also, thank god for convenient tentacle traps.

Actually, SG-1 was on the verge of cancellation starting with season 5. The only time they "went for it" with a cliffhanger ending was season 10... which was when they got canned. Go figure.
I do find it funny that on Atlantis, the most important guy was a Canadian. lol
I guess for me, they're adults in a fantasy world though. Like, Jormungand has nearly an all adult cast as well, but very few people are dealing with the massacre of their military unit or ex-mafia guys or whatever the backstory is for the other characters.
The only anime that I can think of about adults in the real world are all noitaminA shows. (Yes, I count Ristorante Paradiso in that group, duckroll
)Oh, and I suppose those BL shows centered around the Sekai-ichii Hatsukoi franchise. But they're not real human beings either. lol
It's weird. I don't really like Modern Family any more, but if there was an anime that tried to do the exact same thing, it'd probably be my favourite thing ever. lol
Like, what if an older Japanese divorcee married a Filipino woman and had to remember how to be a father again because she was a single mother? What would his kids think about the marriage? What if one of his kids were gay? I'd be happy if an anime even gestured at doing something a bit more socially aware even off handedly.
(Of course, the answer is that I should watch more jdrama because that's where all the adult stuff goes. But I really don't want to do that.

Heh, I watched a couple episodes of Sengoku Otome just to compare it to Oda Nobuna. When the girl asks how a world with all women could produce children, the answer was literally storks. They've got the all yuri world planned and ready to go.

Apparently in the saki world they can use genetic engineering for lesbian couples.
I'm really upset that I saw the artist under the likes and dislikes before the punchline.

This song + anime clips need to make a comeback. It'll be like the 90's DBZ videos all over again.
The suspense of disbelief for this show is incredible.
People screaming while fighting despite the fact that it was confirmed in episode 1 that players don't feel pain. I'm not even sure if eating or sleeping serve a purpose outside of replenishing health or something.
Between this and that one scene in Accel world about MMOs ending I think the author might actually have some sort of bizarre emotional connection with NPC's.

Well there goes that business proposition.JAL did, if that's what you are asking.
You clearly need to look at the engines of Nintendo Hype Trains. Pretty sure they require blood sacrifices.
You still require goggles? I am disappointed.
Well there goes my other business proposition of opening a Maid Cafe in London.

Zelda Hype Trains require the blood of a thousand maidens. Just look at what happened with 8.8-gate.
It seems the one in LA has closed after being open 5 years. If you can't keep a maid cafe open in LA, you're probably hosed anywhere else in the US. Oh well.

I said did. They no longer do it as of this past March.

Man this show is depressing. No wonder the ED is all peppy and cheerful.
Yes, these images are in chronological order.
The end of this Olympic journey i've been on:
Earth Maiden Arjuna - 01
Earth Maiden Arjuna - 01
So Juna dies, gets ressurected by Chris, who was apparently the last avatar of time, and then gives her his superpowers to save the Earth from getting tentacle-raped by having her join SEED who I have no idea what they are. Something sacrifice, but he's not cool, but crippled, telepathy.
Then they go to pretend blow up by actually blowing up a nuclear reactor, and she becomes Frieza to save the planet.

Well, I already accidentally skimmed the spoilers for these, might as well get them out of the way.
When I last left off on this series, Takahiro Sakurai had to race against a dog in a maze. Let's see if things have recovered from that low point.
Phi Brain S2 16
Nope, not yet. Complete garbage, like all the other Ana-centric episodes. Let us never speak of this again.
Phi Brain S2 17
Now that's better. A good puzzle, Sugita in fine form throughout, and some plot progression.
Phi Brain S2 18
A great return to form. Excellent puzzle vs. Sephiroth and a good cliffhanger ending. I liked
.
Phi Brain S2 19
And here's where most of the spoilers came from, but anyway. The 2/3 mark through the season. Lots of delicious Hiroshi Kamiya voice.
Hopefully there's some good puzzles ahead in the home stretch.

the fakeout with him seemingly being reformed but then setting off the self destruct, only to reveal that he had reformed but the ring was too powerful to resist

Freecell is a complete loose cannon now; a quick spot of training for Kaito and we're off to the final challenges.
Hopefully there's some good puzzles ahead in the home stretch.
how sinful

Arjuna really does seem like a relatively "normal" anime during the first episode.
