12 was the finale -- had an insert song, no traditional end credits, etc -- 13 was just a cute little epilogue. There's another episode coming with an upcoming issue of the still-ongoing manga too that will probably have a similar tone. To me 13 was just a reminder that stories are still being told in the universe if you want them. Definitely not a show or genre I ever get into too but I thought it was pretty charming myself, if frustrating and naive at times. But that was kind of the point, huh?

Why couldn't it have been the kind of mermaid, with the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom? :'(

Seriously! Did Japan pass a law that girls in school-life anime stories have to always have a conversation about the hated party in there presense. Talking about overused tropes! This one is quickly rising in infamy as the worst of them

I don't use it but it looks good enough, reading the contents described on the tin.
Don't worry it's the dark side of Shoujo rearing it's ugly head.
Be greatful it was only that last episode and not integrated deeply into the actual show as a whole to that extent.

Fucking wow at Al imagining the
Thankfully he's super pragmatic.
Certainly slower and more deliberate than the last ep but I suspect the finale will deliver.
Those sunglasses sure bring out Bernie's charsima. Look at all those tones too.
Fucking wow at Al imagining the
nuclear strike on the colony.
Just need to destroy the Gundam by Christmas night? No problem!
Maybe it's the same for everyone and I just haven't noticed but Chris seems to look a little different each ep.
Ahh. gotcha. thanks.
Yeah. Im much more into physical disc media. Dont use computer players nearly as much.
SWWEEEEET. will collect it all
Like in Tsukuyomi moonphase? Hazuki was similar situation.
Birds make shows better! I can think of several examples.

Oh hello show.
So story-wise doesn't make much sense. It does look pretty nice with the colors and direction and such. Just too bad it is still boring.

Guyz don't be like this dude and drink too much even though it's new years
Well, it's not like there aren't characters with fish-y upper bodies and human-y lower bodies in Seto no Hanayome.
this post coming from someone who is always telling people that im on your ignore list is hilarious.
Complete Soul Eater for $21? I should have waited!

Funny stuff, first few episodes showed promise in the ridiculousness of where it was heading, then it was like one big training arc until serious business happened, and was serious business fun.
Still feel like gouging my eyes out with the cg, especially the crowds, dear god!
WELL YOU THOUGHT WRONG!!

There is? Anything worthwhile?
Crunchyroll's gone ahead and gathered up a large collection of new year's greetings from various shows, companies, and mangaka to take a look at. I like these two from Sunrise, one with a bunch of their shows and one Phi Brain themed:

Man, crunchyroll news certainly seems to have a preoccupation with the topic of creepiness:
You are silly sometimes, Novid.
"Both Spice and Wolf and Maoyuu Maou Yuusha involve a human and a supernatural entity working together to solve economic and financial problems in a medieval setting, whilst a romantic relationship slowly blossoms between them."
+ Same director
+ Same theme song performer!
+ Maou is the same VA as Holo!
+ Yuusha is the same VA as Kraft Lawrence and Blood-C dog!
Duckroll: Maoyuu doesn't just have the same director as Spice and Wolf. It has the same director, the same writer, and the same art director.
We don't need Holo/Horo anymore. She abandoned us.
Her days are over. Maoyuu and her :chet will guide us from now on. ;_;
Join the revolution!
I like the idea of it.
Could be pretty good.
Especially with that staff.
Yeah it was pretty popular.
Love some economics and naked wolf goddess.

Ham dunk nut!
My rant was that school-life drama animes ALWAYS have the scene where the some female character is being hated or misunderstood and its always communicated by a group of two or more generic female school mate off in the corner having an open conversation just to stop in the middle of it and glance at her as though they didn't mean to be overheard and then rush off.
The worst offenders will go and use the trope in just about every episode. It's not even a cheap trick used by cheap shows. Some of the best dramas I've seen in the past two years have fallen heavily and repeatedly on this sword... to the point that its beginning to hurt to just see it.
Maybe its me. Maybe this is a cultural thing as natural as saying hello. Maybe this is how all young Japanese women interact with one another. Maybe I'm seeing the manure that allows the beautiful flower called womanhood to blossom. Honestly, it's just an anime and has about as much bearing on reality as aura fights do but I feel like this is either a lazy short-hand for something deeper no one is exploring or simply just bad writing.
Am I off base? Can someone explain this?

How can you be on my ignore list if I am responding directly to your quotes?
I was talking about pizzaroll that day. What a jerk.

Best girl.
I've actually had that show on my backlog list for a while. Maybe I should watch it next. My list basically consists of random shows I've seen the name of and bothered to bookmark the wiki page for.

Yes they did and the UN passed a ruling that you're not allowed to complain about it. So I guess this is good bye.
You really should.
not because its revered here but because it is absolutely unique, and quite enjoyably weird.
I know that feeling soooooo well.
Its like "what do I watch today? This or this or this...maybe that..but wait I wanted to see this too....screw it Im going play a game instead"
I just wanted to say that it's been a great year, and AnimeGAF has brought me much pleasure and entertainment. I can't believe that it's already New Year's Eve. I'd like to raise a glass of champagne to the following members (which include - but is not limited to): Cajunator, SDBurton, Chet Rippo, Uchip, Hitokage, /XX/, Ultimadrago, RurouniZel, Izayoi, Regulus Tera, Theonik and a few others I'm probably missing . I have had some wonderful encounters with you, and you are all fine people. To everyone else - you entertain and amuse me daily. Your passion for this hobby is nothing short of inspirational, and this place wouldn't be what it is without you. Half of my enjoyment with this hobby comes from watching new and old shows, and half of it comes from here. Thank-you.
Happy new years man! And to all my fellow animugaffers.
I love you all.

Hermit S-link Rank 10:
The most conventional shoujo ends on a very cute and shoujo moment. What a surprise! Still, while it didn't really try to do anything in particular, as a shoujo it serves its function well. Heck, you could even forgive it for looking extremely cheap most of the time because they just need to spend the money on the bishies. lol
Haha, I've actually seen this happen a couple of times in high school. It's a convenient storytelling device because it conveys a few things all in one scene: some has a negative reputation, it's being spread by a certain group (usually it's either males or females, but sometimes it's certain cliques), and the person in question is aware of it. It is exaggerated and overused to a certain extent in anime, but Japanese schools could have a different experience. After all, bullying in Japanese schools is a problem according to people who teach there.
Think about how many times you've seen a scene where the protagonist is either eating lunch at his desk or walking somewhere when he overhears people in a group saying negative things about a character. That sounds pretty mundane, but to me it's kinda similar.

There are some things you can't uncensor and still show.
