That sounds like what is called here in the UK, Constructive Dismissal.
Ie forcing someone to leave their job by making the working conditions intolerable.
And it is illegal (in the UK)
I'm alive........ barely. The Cubs damn killed me last night and i'm still working on getting my heart out of my stomach.
Also super-cool that they mentioned my blog on there!
This week's writeup is going to take a little longer as I think i'm going to attempt to address almost all of the cuts if I can help it.

Ah, thank you!
Well, it's not illegal in Japan, or at least if there are any laws concerning it they're not enforced. Konami is another infamous example of a company known to practice this kind of thing.
Last episode did give her the illusion of competency but it was only after she realized she did a poor job and she attempted to find a way to do better. This episode felt different considering she even got a bit nervous right before the event but managed to come forward and handle the event possibly taking advantage of the audience's betrayal and shock over the PV. No one taught her that nor did she do it out of some experience.
Yeah, just like how they write down stuff such as 20 hours of overtime per month on average in their job listings for an 8-hour job with a break in between. In Argentina, that'd put the company between a rock and a hard place because job law states that 8 hours is the maximum allowed time for nearly every single job, and advertising average overtime tantamount to saying "you'll be working over 8 hours a day more often than not", which is NG.
I admire Japan for several things it does way better than Argentina, so it's very weird to see these kind of contrasts where my run-down third-world country is actually more appealing in some aspects than them. But I digress...

Gosick ep.3
That was a really good conclusion to the mystery and an excellent episode at the same time. I really like the MC so far and Victoria isn't bad, but she fills in thd tropey "mysterious girl" role perfectly. Also, a little relationship developement already? I'm impressed. I look forward to watching more of this!

Kiss Him Not Me.
This is such a weird fanboy moment for me if only because it's the only two voice actors I care about in a completely contrived situation. lol

Yeah, I'm enjoying it so far. It helps that the characters, while definitely filling out some archetypes, still feel believable.
Flip Flappers 5
Eh, it continues to be just okay. Some of the early horror stuff was fun, but it felt repetitive towards the end.
I agree, Sawashiro is love. I guess I'll pick the series up just because of her.
Other than her, my favorite VAs that I tend to recognize are Wakamoto (all haill the hammeister!), Sugita (the lesser ham), and some of Umineko's VAs (Rudolph's appears to be quite popular, luckily for me, and I also think I remember Kirie as Caster in UBW and Krauss as Red Axe in SamFlam, for example).

The match we've all been waiting for, Buttdog vs. Thunderthighs.
We get LOL moments, like that 'hunter' pic (did you notice Fujisaki's wearing a g-string resembling a studded collar with chain leash?)
We get lewd moments, like that 'vibration' scene.
We also get one of the few non-comedic, non-incompetent depictions of an overweight character in anime.

Cardcaptor Sakura - Ep. 12
Shield can apparently protect her from magic, that should be useful.
Same for the time card... too bad that Sakura doesn't have it.
Owarimonogatari - Ep. 10
Well,this episode explained many things I thought they would never explain.
Now I finally know where this image is coming from:
Hibike! Euphonium - S2 Ep. 5
The competition is finally here and it was worth the wait.
Best episode of season 2 so far.

I like how this is basically how the one guy reacted when A Bridge Too Far aired in PCU. Put that western media reference in your pipe and smoke it, firehawk12.

I guess we should clear a whole page of this thread for your post.
It's what a character from Nichijou says to the other characters every episode. It means hello.
Thanks, added to my evergrowing watchlist.

DreamFes Episode 6
Ugly outfits but the song was pretty good.
I liked the brothers plot but more so for Kanade and his brother rather than the twins. The surprise at reading his younger brothers letter was the best.

This gif is what comes to mind whenever someone mentions the show:
This scene gets me every time
Then there's the Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? scene. Fucking classic.
Yessssss...
The UK Ultimate Edition isn't the same as the US one:
+ 144 page artbook instead of 40 (no idea what the difference is)
+ all the extras from the old DVD release that are apparently not on the Funimation release
+ the three main OSTs (!!!!!), although no Lovers' Only or movie OST
- no pendant
- worse box and disc art
Definitely think we overall get the better release, assuming the video quality's good. Escaflowne was the first show I ever bought on DVD; it'll be nice to retire those discs...

Perhaps because it looks like she couldn't possibly care less about anything and everything when she's serious or angry, which could lead to some pretty tense or bad situations for the band as a whole if she ever got pushed past the point where she could still keep the whole happy-go-lucky façade going.
But that's precisely what has endeared me to her, so YMMV, I guess.

That false friendly façade, the fact she cruelly manipulated another band member's feelings and spread misinformation about the situation which shows she has zero regard for the emotions of other people. Hell she actually knew how to fix the situation and chose not to fix it. I get her whole "eliminate all distractions to our success/going to Nationals", but she knowingly choose the worst option to handle the situation.
I like to dislike her.

She came off as a terrible (and not very smart) person in the last arc, purposely manipulating her bandmates in a cruel way when it turns out her scheming was actually counter-productive. You can blame the sloppy writing for that I suppose.

If we're talking about best scene, it's gotta be this one.
But yeah, the anime is just great. Couldn't stop laughing from beginning to end. The only anime that ever came close to this is Lucky Star, but the humor in that one is a lot more... down-to-eath. Nichijou was a lot more crazy.
Hmm
I just saw this and was about to post about it. I really hope it's actually been picked up! I just hope that Funimation doesn't mess up the BD if they do.
"Doppio!?" remains a running gag between my friends and I to this day. Love that segment!
