I have a bit of a strange request.
Can you guys list the most HNNNGH episodes of the main shows people are watching right now (example, episode 11 of Ika Musume for Dat short hair and certain episodes of Ben-TO for Ice witchness) because I dont have al ot of free time lately and I want to indulge in as much cute as possible before I have to go to work Thursday evening.
I will catch up on the shows later but I just want the cute stuff for now.

Just going straight for that high.
 
Pretty good episode? It was a great episode! As for resolution, and romance, though... eh, maybe, but I don't mind it as it is. They're young, and it works well enough in the script. I mean, sure, it's a little annoying, but overall I don't mind too much.

Well what I liked about episode 11 was the powerful sense of narrative resolution it created. It sort of resolved some of the (non-romantic) relationships the characters had and displayed their change over time instead of depending so much on the God of Status Quo.

I mean, what I enjoyed about YuruYuri is that it could pull off status quo changes without drastically risking the mood of the show. They can have two characters "try out" a relationship and it would be as an endless river of yuri :cajun, one that can be turned off whenever they like because the tone of the show lets them play pretty much anything they like off for laughs. Hell, Akari could get out-and-out yuri-raped, and they'd be able to drop a joke about it.

Just look at this show, the comic runs in explicitly yuri publications and has been for the last three years. It's not like Namori's required to keep it all subtext and jokes. Otherwise, it could just be on some other random gag publication. I refuse to believe it stays in this constant flux of romantic tension the whole time. There has to be a beta couple eventually...

Working together on a motorbike, that's probably the purest form of love for me.

I fear we might need to stage an intervention one of these days.
 
This makes me realize I only ever watched 4 of the 18 disc set I have and it makes me fear for the condition of my heart when I do end up finishing it.

I too fear the day I eventually complete that. T_T

Ben-to 11 is what you want.
Speaking of Chihaya... Idolm@ster episode 20.
The dripping faucets were pretty cute I guess...
 
Worked for Lewis Carrol.
And this is somewhat related to Lewis Carroll; remember that there is no better present to make for this festivities than some of the cool merchandising from Kyōsogiga... please, the continuity of the project depends on it!

True to a degree, but I don't think tone and atmosphere should always be construed as message. You can have films with incredibly dark tones that actually have a positive message, or seemingly happy, colorful family films with a negative message. I mean, people love Miyazaki's films, but he's actually a really pessimistic guy. Though he may not be the best example since he seems to deliberately make films happier than he is.
About that Mr. Miyazaki's attitude, I always liked how he explained it himself in the next video, on the occasion of MIYAZAKI - MŒBIUS (http://www.miyazaki-moebius.com/) exposition in Paris:

Hayao Miyazaki

Also, you're forgetting Spirited Away where
Chihiro forgets everything at the end.
Did she? It has certainly passed some time since I last saw that movie but... it was explicitly stated? I'll re-watch it later.
 
I'm at work currently so I don't remember specifically where in the shows I'm watching where the HNNNG is to be found. :(

I have failed you, Lord HNNNG. orz

I would so submit this into Shit Otaku Say if it were not for how close my post about YuruYuri is to yours. :P

Anyway, I'd say all of YuruYuri counts, and episodes 1, 5, and 6 of FamuFamFam. Haven't really been watching anything super hnnnng recently beyond YuruYuri, but then I suppose that's standard for me. I tend to favor GAR over anything extra :cajun.

You're like a fat kid sucking out the insides of doughnuts.
 
So Japanese speaking GAF, can anyone help me translate this? It was unfortunately written in blacklight so this is the best I can do.

In the last picture there was a Wa(forming Watashi) that I had to cut out of the photo.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
 
Cajunator may be a Hnngaholic but he's our Hnngaholic.

If we are just going to play into your addiction I would recommend watching some Pita Ten. I saw an episode the other day, dear god was it :cajun.
 
[Spirited Away]

It wasn't explicitly stated, but
Chihiro doesn't show any sign of recalling anything, and clings in fear to her mother when going through the entrance hall at the end just as tightly as she did at the beginning, which seems to indicate that nothing has really changed.
 
Natsume S3 03 - 04

The show has been quite dreary so far, I get what they're trying to achieve with episode 4 but at the end of the day I just spent most of that episode watching a ghost in a tree monologuing about loneliness. (which, okay we get it, Natsume was lonely as a child).

Looks like some Eva quotes. I can't do them any real justice with my poor Japanese skills, but these are some rough translation attempts.

"I feel warm in this room."

"Lecher! Idiot! Pervert! I can't believe this!"

"I guess it's alright if you stay."

My grammar fails me here. "If you're asleep, quickly get up. Don't leave, come back!"

"A bath is life's laundry."(?)

"I'm not a doll."

Where did you see these?
 
PGSM Ep. 27

I was not expecting such a dramatic episode after the last ones preview. The best episode of the series (so far) without a doubt.

Luna hijinks + Ami/Usagi conflict was so good and genuinely dramatic.

Personally, I think it could go both ways but I had the impression she remembers by the way she expresses concern for his parents when she re-encounters with them and forces herself not to look behind. It is true, a you say, that the faded transition between that scenes and the unlikely (for the later, conscious Chihiro) cowardly attitude she shows in the tunnel could be a hint (I thought that, just regained her parents and after all she had done, she experimented fear because she didn't know what to expect from that world she left, accustomed as she was at what she experienced there), however after that she also isn't surprised, unlike his parents, by the time it has seemingly passed since they left the car (by the look of it), and that latest "mono no aware" moment with 'bling' of the memento included, well... all makes me think she knows, and that goes accordingly with the running theme of the movie of understanding, with maturity, one's position in the scheme of things.

Maybe at the end what she has is that strange sensation of a memory from a long forgotten past moment (like a name you once had), that returns to make you think, or maybe not... I'm not sure! It is possible that ambiguity was the objective.

Of course, outside of the text itself, it was officially confirmed. I have a Hayo Miyazaki book and they mentioned it in there.
 
I think Chihiro might have been more like "WHAT IN THE FUCKING HELL DID I JUST EXPERIENCE?" which, frankly, would make me cling really tight to whatever was nearby in terror, even if it were an angry molerat with killer bees on its head. That might be a bit uncomfortable now that I think about it.
