I have yet to see an Australian toilets do that spiral flush thing that other country's toilets do. The only direction they flow is down.

They don't. Toilets/spouts in the southern hemisphere swirl the same direction as the north.
The only reason for a change is debris in the flow or imperfections in the bowl.

I'm trying and failing to remember the name of a show. All I have to go on is that there was an image showing a stick figure's reaction to each episode. At first the viewer was falling asleep, but then something happens and the viewer quickly turns into a depressed alcoholic.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?
I can get behind this.
Wouldn't you rather be in front?

This is a pretty tough mystery to solve with that little info.

Gunsmith Cats 2

Fuck yeah, this was definitely far more in-line with what I got outta Riding Bean but with an even more charming cast of characters and one awesome antagonist. Everything from the
killing of the ATF guards and the protected witness
to the fucking awesome chase sequence was brilliantly well done, the later which depressed me again with just how beautifully animated the cars were compared to the CG cars of today. :(

I have yet to see an Australian toilets do that spiral flush thing that other country's toilets do. The only direction they flow is down.
let's quote the "experts" at wikipedia

"It is a commonly held misconception that when flushed, the water in a toilet bowl swirls one way if the toilet is north of the equator and the other way if south of the equator, due to the Coriolis effect – usually, counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. In reality, the direction that the water takes is much more determined by the direction that the bowl's rim jets are pointed, and it can be made to flush in either direction in either hemisphere by simply redirecting the rim jets during manufacture. On the scale of bathtubs and toilets, the Coriolis effect is too weak to be observed except under laboratory conditions.[22]"​

the bad taste permeating through the industry and it's consumers is nothing new but i'd be damned if it doesn't hurt ;_;

I think it was sci-fi. And it couldn't have been more than two cour.

This isn't helping, is it?

edit: for some reason Ergo Proxy keeps coming to mind, even though I'm almost certain that isn't it.

I got you covered bro. It's Texhnolyze.

It is a privelege to watch Gunsmith Cats. It should be required viewing.

So, is anyone actually watching Moayshimon Returns? I am not currently following it so I wonder if it had improved.

You can feel the 90's coming out of the screen

The story for this one wasn't all that great, but the characters (with the exception of May) were fun, the action was good, and there was a ton of attention to detail that really shone. They must've done a lot of scouting around in the USA, the credits list US gunshops (Does Japan even have gunshops?) and the Chicago PD, it's not often you see that kind of dedication.

My biggest complaint would be that they always cut to a window letting out smoke whenever there was an explosion, instead of drawing it. :(

I think
the crane ripping her shirt off and her bra open has to be one of the most forced methods of fanservice ever, ranking right up there with "fall on the girl and her clothes magically come off".

Actually, that's a pretty well known kind of industrial accident. You'd be surprised how often it happens.

Hyouka is taking over! And that at more than halfway through the show. What a bunch of hipsters.

Pfft. Most of these posers got on board with the show at Episode 12. Once the arc is over they'll go back to hating on it. Some us of actually liked it since the start.

i've seen the first three eps and it's pretty much more of the same outside of the rather minor art style change.

Minor he says "minor" *chortles*.

Pretty much, so far it's neither an improvement or a disservice to the first season, playing it safe so far, outisde of the charming style of OP the first season had. :<

And no Kiviak in sight.

The biggest positive for the new season. I still have nightmares...

Moyashimon Returns 4

I figured she wouldn't believe him at first but I'm sure she'll see THE TRUTH eventually.
I wonder what those two bums are scheming and how long Hasegawa's gonna be gone for.

Now that's a phrase surely designed to raise heckles!
Minor he says "minor" *chortles*.
But it's true in that the change isn't something you really notice/care about after a while and the new character designs work much better with the more off-model comedic faces the show loves to pull. Oh, and I can't forget to mention just how much better the background art looks!

Pretty much, so far it's neither an improvement or a disservice to the first season, playing it safe so far, outisde of the charming style of OP the first season had. :<
i'd say the new ED more than easily makes up for that!

And no Kiviak in sight.
a real shame too :(

So far (only watched 1-2), it's mostly "The Continuation of Moyashimon", which I'm quite happy with - it might be me but the pace and mood seems to be a lot more relaxed than the first season, not that it's bad since the focus is on the group's hijinks.

I am generally pretty bad about keeping up with more recent anime, but I ate through the first few episodes of Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita and Sword Art Online the past few days. Definitely going to keep up with those if I can. Also watched the first ep of Natsuyuki Rendezvous, Kokoro Connect and Hyouka.

I'm okay with that as long as there are some redeeming qualities a ton of delicious food and cake porn.

A basket of macaroons??

With coffee?

This shit ain't funny. THIS SHIT AIN'T FAIR!!
Man, you are obsessed with coffee to the point of seeing it anywhere! They are Afternoon Tea Time, and I don't remember them drinking anything other than tea at those after-school moments.

[If only]

It has some pretty sweet music, at least.
Agreed, what I don't like is that they mention at the credits of the video the theme commonly sung by the A.V. Aleksandrov Ensemble as 'The Russian Revolution' instead of 'Farewell of Slavianka', trying to strip it of any kind of non-belligerent, melancholic meaning that original song of the people had. Pretty sad...
