Whoohoo, yeah, C2 is the best!
Though I prefer Cornelia and maybe Viletta...

Prank so bad they manage to piss off the chillest dude (Tomokazu Sugita) in the industry. Not to mention there's another controversy cause by the opening song composer as well.
Wow, even Sugita was mad. Damn. That's guy seems like the most relaxed dude in the industry. Kind of makes me wonder what some of the biggest scandals in the industry were because of a prank led to this then I can't even fathom what even more serious stuff would've resulted in.
Glad to see this series getting more love. I only wish we could get the later arcs adapted to anime as well, though.
Dereban's just too good, and being voiced by Sawashiro certainly helps. I agree that I'd have liked to see the show flesh Aoki and Taichi out some more, but that might end up happening later. For example, Nise Random focuses a lot on two first-year students that join the gang's club, and I'm just getting started with Yume so I don't know who's going to be the focus of the story now. Hopefully the two guys get their time to shine, since I really liked the way Kiriyama, Nagase and Inaban were tackled in the arcs that focused on each of them.

Yeah I love Sawashiro's voice so finding out she voiced Inaba really was a pleasure. Is the light novel still ongoing?

All I know about Kokoro Connect is the VA scandal and Sawashiro saying she has masturbated to you
All that for $100? Deal of the century.

Jealous I am. I guess it would not include english subs.

I don't think so, later books covering the main storyline are Nise, Yume and Asu Random (with Asu being the only arc that takes up two books), and then there're three more books that are made up of several short stories each: Clip, Step and Precious Time. I got all of them back when I was in Japan, but my Japanese level isn't enough to get everything that's written in them, so while I've already finished reading Nise Random I can't say I got everything that happened in there, just the gist of it.

Either Dr. Magata Shiki upload her conscience to computer, or she raise her daughter as her replacement, either way, it's going to be fucked up

I was actually a really big fan of the trick. Never would have seen that coming, but it's definitely doable and a genius move. As for your spoilered points
yeah I am with you on that. But just for fun, why not throw around some more theories, like was that even Magata's body? For all we know it could have been the daughter herself. What if it's a mix of the two theories you mentioned? Magata wants to transcend to the virtual world and get her rid of her own body, so she uses her daughter for that.

Well, some of you guys got the speculation on who was the killer right! The episode also showed the trick behind the closed room trick, it was actually clever. As for the twist at the end, I am going to wait an episode and see whether it's stupid or not. Nishinosono brought the episode down. In fact, every time she and another woman interacts, it's just really really annoying.

I didn't see anyone post it but the next One Piece movie is called Gold.

Invaders of the Rokujyouma? Ep.7-9
The fights were actually pretty good, the story is interesting and the characters are fun. Just needs a little more comedy, lol. Not bad at all for mindless fun. Rival magic girl got the beat down she deserved, but she'll be back..

I got banned for two weeks for saying "Kotaku sucks". Man, the gaming side of gaf is harsh.
My anime binge is still alive, though. Watched a bunch of different stuff over the past two weeks.
Akame ga Kill - 01 - 25
This series may not have the greatest action scenes or a particualrly interesting storyline, but man is it not afraid to kill of characters, and for that I respect it. It's too bad that the last 5 episodes of the series were just absolute shit.
Amagi Brilliant Park - 01 - 13
After watching the first episode, I called this a low-tier KyoAni show. Turns out I was wrong. Sure, it's no Hyouka or Haruhi but the characters were pretty endearing and I found myself getting pretty invested in their world and their goal to save the park. Good show. Also, really glad there was no tragic ending.
D-Frag! - 01
Is this supposed to be funny?
Nichibros - 01 - 08 [Rewatch]
Fuck, I love me some Nichibros. It's literally a high school version of gintama that's culturally relevant, how the hell can you not appreciate that?!

Yeah I saw that yesterday. The director is a One Piece veteren who worked on the tv series and was assistent director for Hosoda's OP movie.

I liked SW and Z a lot so I have high hopes for this.
"Gold" is an interesting name though, surely it can't mean Roger.

One Piece Film Z was an animation showcase, but otherwise worthless for someone who hasn't followed the manga series. Film 6 and Episode of Nami are still the only things I've liked out of the franchise.

Film 6 is completely standalone and the least One Piece-like official One Piece thing ever created (in a good way) and Film Z was really playing up to manga fans so that makes sense

It's the case of the biggest backfire of the year. Just murdered the anime sales.
I doubt the show was going to sell particularly well beforehand.
You should follow the manga because it rocks!

Good deductions this episode. Unlike others here, I kind of enjoy watching Nishinosono turn into a jealous brat around women she perceives as competition for Saikawa.

The killer is Magata Shiki herself. The body is likely her daughter's. Magata Shiki had to have planned this out, because she developed two new versions of Red Magic while waiting for the backdoor in Red Magic 4 to open. Her daughter would have no way of preventing the newer versions of Red Magic from launching to the rest of the lab if that's what her mother wanted.
There's nothing so far that suggests it's possible to upload your consciousness to the net. Certainly no equipment suggesting that exists in Shiki's room.

One of the biggest issues with the series is important characters missing out on big events like Katsura. It sucks but it must be hard to manage so many characters during big arcs like this. It's hard to take Shinpachi seriously considering how he's been treated. I'm kind of glad since I find him grating during most of his straight man routines. Focusing on other characters is better since you can actually treat it seriously without baggage.

Katsura never misses anything, he is always on standby.

Yep, and the show has beat us over the head with how surprisingly young looking the body they found was. I'm not sure why the arms were cut off though.

Fingerprints. The legs were the red herring. That or for the body to hold itself on to the rolling thingy.
Two reasons.
1. Throws people off, buying time.
2. No chance of people placing the corpse's hands on scanners and confirming the ruse.

Heh, Insider discussions. I wish we had more of these throughout the season. I really like this show, but it should have begun feeding us more info from the start. There was basically no way of coming up with plausible theories up until last week when we were given more info, and when we saw that weird montage in Sohei's head.
I should stop procrastinating and start focusing on the work I have to do :/
This is Canada right?

I will weep bitterly if that is the killer. Its so dull and uncreative, something nishinosono would have come up with even.
I pray its the leader guy like it usually is in whats new scooby doo mysterys.

I kinda wanna know what is so interesting to make the guy completely look away from her.

Eh, it's hard to tell. Romcom with syfy tropes and a triangle with two waifus. It could have at least done decently.
Probably recognized the character from KLK and didn't want to be seen staring at her.

The theory is sound and I strongly believe that is what is happening. Now I just want to know the motivation behind it.
Now that I look closely I see what looks like a bunch of girls cosplaying as anime school girls on the sidewalk. Those glasses of his give him eagle eyes, I'm sure of it.
Why confine yourself, deliver a baby and raise her, kill her 15 years later and then kill the uncle/daddy and run away from the room... For the same reasons she killed her parents? To be free?

Huh, they're getting nicer masters than us? Well, at least I know to avoid Funi's release for now. I'll wait a few years to see if there's another release from them that uses the nicer looking masters.
Edit: The Satsuki pic is from this year's Anime North! It's a pretty fun con. A bit crowded though; I kind of wish they'd find a bigger space for it.
