He's probably 10 years too late to be the origin of the quote

Am I setting myself up for disappointment? I started to watch Arrow and 2 episode in its great for what it is. And for a lot of episodes so was Smallville.

How long have you been gone?
How did you do it? I've requested multiple times, and not a thing!
Ben wrote a bit about it when it was first released http://www.pelleas.net/aniTOP/index.php/utsunomiya_eureka
Yellow Cure bias.
It's more that I've been off and on like, the entire thread. I think I was near 1k posts last time. I haven't even broken 100 this time.
Getter Robo G 26
There really shouldn't be anything impressive about yet another episode of "the Dinosaur/Demon Empire turns someone close/uses someone close to the Getter Team to hurt them emotionally" episodes, but somehow when these come along they never fail to disappoint. Where once I considered the possibility that the theme was that the world and its wars corrupted and destroyed women (considering for basically the whole of Getter Robo the victims of these arcs WERE just women) I think now that it's more just humans in general, since you cannot deny the blatancy of it in this episode.
I mean, Demonic Hitler of the Armed Forces of Hell finds a young man who is already afflicted with the love of money due to his intense poverty and seduces him into becoming a demon, turning him against his good friend Hayato in the process. That's not really very subtle, now, is it?
But I don't think that subtlety is really the success nor the point of these episodes. The point is that war is a terrible thing, whether hot or cold, and that it finds every way possible to hurt and kill the ones you love. I've probably said this before, but Getter Robo is a much, much better anti-war mecha anime than Mobile Suit Gundam because it really does portray the horrors of it. Which is ironic, since the setup of Mobile Suit Gundam really should give it the advantage over Getter Robo in that regard.
The success of these kinds of episodes is in demonstrating the emotional toll it takes on our heroes. For starters, Musashi is just plain gone. That's what war does. It takes people who are good and kind and brave and it kills them in moments of fear and desperation. Ryouma was so messed up during one of these episodes that he couldn't actually fight. The death of Gora was enough to break the spirits of Emperor Gore himself, and now Hayato is at bat for the second time. As you may or may not recall, the Demon Empire took his sister's fiance away, and his death was enough of a shock that she fled Japan for good. Now Hayato has lost his childhood friend to this war, and for once cool, stoic, quiet Hayato runs crying into the night, shouting at the top of his lungs in rage and sorrow. Indeed, the depths of Hayato's sadness over the entire affair are mirrored only by the fury he feels at how deeply his friend has betrayed him.
As a side note, this episode sort of accidentally does an excellent job of portraying the time in which it took place because of the outlandish appearances of civilians (bell bottoms everywhere, fros and disco jackets and sunglasses, too) and the episode's score, which included this weird kinda Iron Butterfly sort of feeling song in it, too. I want to say it was all very 70s, but knowing my luck I'm off by when the show took place by a decade like always.
Yeah thats where I remembered that from.
The OP itself is good, and the sense of movement is incredible, especially the part where they are falling and move out of the way of gunfire, but yeesh, they last image is just an eyesore that I can't believe they never replaced.
Utsunomiya also did that one episode of Aquarion that was pretty awesome.
It's an expression.

I always pictured KirbPine as someone who gets a girl's name tattooed on their arm but then gets it removed in place of another one after they break his heart, except in this case Precure. Poor KirbLemonade.

Name change requires asking an admin. Used to be easier when hito was one.
Really? People always say PM a mod. Then again most people seem to think mods can give out tags outside of banned and junior.
It shouldn't be easy.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own

Killua for the win, I honestly think he can take

Ah, well, I never notice OP spoilers. (Unless they're really blatant like One Piece OP3, the worst OP spoiler of all time.) Looking at the OP again now, I can see the shot you mean, but it's not exactly obvious.
Doooo iiiiiiit
Yeah, it's definitely the worst thing about the game, but I'd say the game is still worth it.
Thankfully, Diva F 2nd makes it optional! I switched to analog-stick mode as soon as I started the game and never looked back.

For me it's not finding out about it early enough. I wish there was a way I can get an alert if an anime kickstarter pops up.

I was specifically referencing the nichijou scene but I guess that works too.
Oh sweet!

That gif is adorable. What Shana says all the time makes me want to punt her over the moon though.

Working for me. Chances are your script is outdated but userscrips.org has been abandoned and is now dead.
what are you using?
They worked fine up till like a week ago.
n/m just got a fix

hmm. It worked one time and then back to broken.
I've been told as much each time, and it pretty much went nowhere.
It's a little thing, but it kind of irks me when other users seemingly get theirs changed on a whim.
It really is!
webms work fine. I see a lovely cat tail. Im talking about embedded youtube vids. They show a black screen
