Hey that was an amusing first half, and then the entertainment of the situation got sucked out dry when they started to somehow bring in the politics and drag it on.

So pretty much the same as the whole show then.

To be fair, Oedipus Rex is a tragedy.

I think that was the point. A seminal work of classical Western literature teaches us that falling in love with a parental figure is disastrous and against divine order; a seminal work of classical Eastern literature (arguably THE seminal work of Japanese literature) teaches us that falling in love with a parental figure can be romantic, but not as romantic as moulding a little girl into being your ideal love when she grows up.

"The reaction from Japanese fans appears to be “WTF was that?” which is to be expected as the Japanese aren’t into stories with any sort of depth or complexity in the way foreigners are - they had the same reaction to all GITS stuff for instance. (I’m not saying “Evangelion 3.0 was a masterpiece”, just that the Japanese fanbase doesn’t have the same values as the overseas fanbase, especially given how many people have been taking their very young kids to see these films)"

It's been far too long old friend.

Psycho-Pass 18-

This show is really quite fascinating. It's the most amazing mix of absolutely shitty character faces and then at other times it really looks remarkable. It's the most wildly inconsistent show I've ever seen.

bad gameplay lol
The iDOLM@STER 9

Not bad for a "mystery" episode, I guess. I'm not sure Mami and Ami are interesting enough to carry an episode like this, though. Also, their ED song is ear-splittingly awful. MAKE IT STOP.

I guess there is a possibility I developed glaucoma without realizing it, but I am not seeing the "remarkable" side of Psycho-Pass.

There are shots like this:

That actually look fairly good and then we get :wonzo level faces for an entire episode.

Maturity, bitches.
I pretty much lost my desire to start a licensing company at the point that Sentai Filmworks licensed and released Xenoglossia. I mean, there's clearly nowhere to go from there but down, so why even bother trying?

iDOLMASTER in the UK?

And Mitsudomoe, Yuru Yuri, Kill Me Baby, Astro Fighter Sunred, the Laws of Eternity...

This is... Getting, erm interesting. Some pretty weird stuff. (as if the "Kya~ Don't listen!" stuff from the last episode wasn't enough...) now they play the
terminally ill child
card. This show is pretty shameless and the character personalities make no sense now. This is going to be fun!
Seriously that bomb/ladder scene was ridiculous. Also the MC continues to baffle me. His actions are bound to bite him in the ass quite awesomely at the end of the show I'm sure. Though, the normal "run dude run Yuno will be the end of you before this is done" wouldn't be a good piece of advice here either given her diary so I have no idea what he CAN do.

The Japanese people I know got angry at me when I told them the manga ending was disgraceful and disgusting. I thought there would be a universal revulsion to it, but apparently it seems to be cultural.

I really doubt most Japanese people would be okay with the fan fiction manga.

The Japanese person I know thought the fan fiction ending was unfortunate and would have been better off not existing.

I can play this game too.

Haganai Next 7

And that's the end of volume 6. I can't tell exactly how many chapters into volume 7 the next episode will go, but we definitely seem to be on pace to clear all 8 currently published novels by the time the season is over. Exciting!
Don't. I don't think anybody seriously thinks it's just a foot fetish movie.
I don't think that was an element in Shinkai's decision to make the movie at all, and that you're all reading far to much into the fact that Miyu Irino is now a shoemaker.

...look, just forget it. The way you people work, the more I argue this point the more likely it is that people are going to keep referring to it just to piss me off.

Anecdotally, the imaginary Japanese person I know told me that you're all jackasses for constantly alluding to the contents of the manga ending

This show has seriously been one of the best things to come out in a while. I don't think I can add much more about how poignant this particular episode was that hasn't already been said before, but to me it finally elevated this material from "great mindless fun" to "must watch".

:lol

This fucking episode. I don't even know what to say.

Zetsuen no Tempest 19


Yoshino gives no shits at all.
Mahiro was unexpectedly reasonable, and because of that his reunion with Yoshino was... Quite anticlimatic. Looking forward to the DeLorean antics.

I don't think anybody was trying to piss you off. Nobody here is going to look down on you for looking forward to a Shinkai film. It's just natural that people will notice the prominence of feet in that trailer; there's certainly much worse things anime can focus on than that.

Did I just read a tweet about Uematsu and Mozart? Not only are they bot on the same tweet, but the former is stated to be better than the latter?

Bloody Hell...

Poor Ginoza. Kogami had it rough too :(

Solid episode with no action, best moment
Kogami defecting, now if he joins Shogo, but doesnt kill him, and teams up, this would have without a doubt, one of anime's best ending arcs
