yeah, Sho is pretty useless...
Un-Go isn't even over and Mizushima already has a new show lined up: Sunrise's "Natsuiro Kiseki", which sounds like glorified advertisement for Sphere.

This episode has leave a so much better impression than the previous one handled by Mr. Gotoh, this should serve to cut some slack on him. For me it wasn't an exemplar work either, but decent enough to enclose the plot events.
One thing to note, and I didn't thought much about it but seems it was more evident this episode, was the succession of those lovely music pieces based on piano re-arrangements. I didn't realize how well those go along, connect thematically, with that new interpretations of ARB songs. Lovely accompaniment.

One thing that now I want to know for sure is if Kanba is aware of the situation Shōma and Himari had to endure. He has always acted as a big brother, but the way he entrusted himself so heavily with the task of looking after them, how he has tried to avoid their concerns carrying on his shoulders all the responsibility, makes me think he knows what really happened and tries to compensate it, relieve their pain.
I'll probably relate this to how, at the end of episode 13, he was the one to react so angrily, in denial, when it was revealed their parents implication on the terrorist incident.

Edit:
Sadly due to my job and other things to do,I'm getting more sloppy and less creative in making Gaijindrum. I don't have the much time anymore to think on how to make this but I still try to do it.

Yeah. You know, since the show was some kind of all star staff whore type show though, they should have tried to finagle SatoJun to direct the episode. It felt like it should have been right up his alley, given the subject matter.RurouniZel said:I'd like to think so, but I'll take what this episode gave me.

Guilty Crown 6
I don't know why I still bother with this show. Duckroll was right.
The writing for
was borderline incoherent. I have no idea why anyone was doing any of the things they chose to do at any point in that scene. In fact, I have no idea why anything in this show happens. Code Geass had a strong protagonist to build around, but this show's structured around an unsympathetic nothing of a character. He doesn't really do anything; things just occur around him. I can't hold interest.
Now that they're bringing up even more stupid mystical-sounding bullshit, I'm really tempted to tap out. There are plenty of better options every week. Ayase and supercell can't save this show.

I know this may be a bit OT but this is literally driving me insane and I have no one to turn to. Help me GAF PLEASE!
This video @ 2:30 and 2:50 two different animes are shown. People even ask in the video yet no one answers!
Do you guys have any idea what these two animes are?!

Can't help you, but that's a neat video. I just assumed that most people in the American industry don't watch anime.Foxy Fox 39 said:

Persona 4: The Cartoon 07: This is nowhere near as tactfully done as the game. GayGAF would have a field trip with this. You cannot expect to compress Kanji's arc in just two episodes without losing a lot of the subtlety. The comedy was funny, but it only helped heighten the parody feeling of this episode. Kanji's character becomes stunted and his development forced because of this.
P.S. I need a gif of Chie and Yukiko's glistening bodies on the floor.

Mario, since Jury-senpai always refers to him as "Mario-san". Maybe the Natsume family needed a male heir, and decided that they'd get one from the Takakura family?

There are a lot of anime nerds here though. I'm sure one of the super catalogue nerds will have an answer for ya. He does name drop Studio 4c anyway, so I presume it's something they did?Foxy Fox 39 said:

Maybe it is just a short sequence done for a compilation type thing, like Genius Party.
Idolmaster Episode 19
Kinda meh on the ep. Not a big Takane fan, the entire "mysterious woman" vibe isn't really appealing to me. The entire tabloid storyline is lulz, especially with all the EVIL RIVAL scenes which are so over the top that it can't be taken seriously. Even the music in those scenes are made of lulz. Oh well, at least it's out of the way now.

Idolmaster Ep20
I really don't understand Chihaya. There's something pretty illogical about the entire build up to this climax in the series. It just doesn't make sense to me why any of that should really affect her the way it is right now. The episode was well directed though, but ultimately the only thing that really "sells" this entire episode is Chihaya's singing voice. It's pretty damn good. Otherwise, I feel this is a good but otherwise not particularly outstanding episode. Idolmaster scripts always feel kinda lacking to me, and what makes the series work are the more energetic episodes which don't rely as much on the narrative writing.

It didn't. Rather, it said the opposite.
I don't really think there's a scale for that. It's just kind of there or it isn't.firehawk12 said:

I think it's pretty straightforward:
Before the show: Chihaya's little brother died; her parents fought all day long. She took becoming a recognized singer as some sort of atonement and closed herself to the world. She didn't think of anything but becoming a pro.
Episodes 1-13: Chihaya tries her hardest to become a recognized singer with single-minded determination.
Episodes 14-18: Chihaya is already a recognized singer, but she realizes that the she is still feeling empty when she thinks of Yuu; she refuses to share her past with her friends.
Episode 19-20: Even if she knows it is "false", being blamed for the death of her brother, something she tried to forget, comes off as a huge shock. She thinks that her friends will begin hating her. She realizes that singing for Yuu wasn't going to accomplish anything and begins thinking that everything she has done so far has been pointless. All the memories of Yuu's death come back whenever she tries to sing, songs are her "connection to Yuu", so she loses her singing voice.
Episode 20 climax: Thanks to Haruka's encouragement, Chihaya realizes that singing for Yuu's sake was wrong and that she should sing for herself. Since singing is no longer tied to Yuu's death in her mind, she no longer has problems singing.
