Mimi is like 100 years old, yet she's still a loli! Form > age!
I'd rather not think about what Nazuna would be from Wagnaria.

Does anyone know how many episodes of SKET Dance they have left to air?

Details for KyoAni's new show have been revealed:
Director: Yasuhiro Takemoto (FMP series, Lucky Star)
Script: Shoji Gatoh (FMP series, Druaga series)
Character Design: Futoshi Nishiya (Nichijou)
Good art, as expected of modern KyoAni.
My excitement meter is somewhere near zero. I guess after the wild success of Nichijou, anything is possible.
DUCKROLL ON SUICIDE WATCH; EUREKA AO ISN'T JUST A MANGA, IT'S AN ACTUAL TV SHOW.

I want to believe it'll be good because I love Eureka 7, but it's Bones, so they'll fuck it up royally. I'll start getting ready for disappointment.
How could you possibly kick this through a window!
More like Taiga will kick you out the window instead.

It's a long running Jump adaptation, so it'll keep going until they run out of audience or material or money or motivation or whatever.
So just for future reference, what exactly is a :firehawk ending? Does it pertain exclusively to harem? Is it one of the following:
a) Harem gets resolved, conclusive ending, no loose ends e.g.
(COME AT ME BROS)
b) Harem doesn't get resolved, no decision made, hijinx end the show, etc e.g. hrm, everything else?

Yeah, but when have BONES let you down recently?
Um, :firehawk has nothing to do with the resolution of romances. It's to do with the amount to which the show or it's characters indulge in an awareness that the transience of all things heightens an appreciation of their beauty which evokes a gentle sadness at their passing.

I see. Was only wondering because I've been watching Gintama lately and someone told me they have a crossover of sorts, so I'm trying to decide when the best time to jump into SKET Dance is.
I assumed it was related to harem endings because someone posted earlier that the ending to some new harem was :firehawk. My mistake.
As opposed to the rest of it...that sounds like my thought process for Guilty Crown. =\
All I got from this post was blah blah firehawk blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Might as well jump on in now. Unless you're one to marathon, you'll already have enough aired to keep you busy for a while. The Gintama x Sket Dance crossovers are nothing more than one shots that hold absolutely no plot relevance, so you could actually watch those right now if you wanted, each series having its own take.

:firehawk (or mono no aware
)Pretend a Kugiloli was screaming that at you!
That certainly sounds more classy than mono no aware.

Is this where someone says "That's the joke"!
Advise him to watch Gintama x Sket dance but avoid Sket dance x Gintama. Tatsunoko clearly didn't put in effort in pacing and filler for the crossover.
Preferably in .gif form!

Good episode. The difference in mood between the first half and second half is what made good to follow mostly and I really enjoyed the end of the episode.
Horizon 12
Episode was nice although there wasn't much that leaves a big impression. Well, except erotic cushion and Aoi's finger touching Horizon's boobs.

Oh so each show has its own separate crossover episode? That sounds a bit confusing. Do they have some sort of continuity between them (Like one takes place before the other, making the characters familiar with each other when they meet the second time in the other's show)?
Dammit, I thought I had that McBain gif.

huh I kinda forgot about penguin after eps 17 or so. Shit got a bit abstract and classic jrpg word/mind fuckery. I should finish this up. Penguins.
The way I saw it was that
the apple represented being loved. All the children who ended up in the child broiler weren't loved by anyone. So what happened was that when Kanba gave Shouma the apple when they were kids, he shared his love (because he was chosen to live) with Shouma. At the end, Shouma gives up the life Kanba gave him, and Kanba gives his whole life to Himari so that she lives. Shouma receives and finally returns love to Ringo, who has become his metaphorical "Apple" (which now I believe is the significance of her name being Apple), and in giving him a life of his own, he pays his own life as the cost to complete Ringo's spell in order to let Ringo survive.
Now all that's left is to watch the Utena film and have it blow your mind.Penguindrum & Utena - ENDS
That makes sense, but I still don't understand the context of Shouma and Kanba being in the child broiler together.
How could you possibly kick this through a window!
I couldnt, hence what i said. I couldnt kick something that cute.
Now Louise? I would kick the shit out of her, unless she was singing the ending song. In which case i would just sit there and hnnngh. Its complicated.

Two boys and two girls, HOW INNOVATIVE.
I'm going to be watching this, by virtue of Kyoani's seal of production values.
Nah, it's not confusing at all, really. Each series does have its own crossover special, but they contain no continuity, connection, anything. Completely separate, though the idea you bring up would have been a whole lot more fun.

There's no continuity; it's just random meta-humor coordinated to air the same week. There was a similar crossover between the two manga as well.
Sket Dance is a weaker show than Gintama, and much more hit and miss, but it's had some great moments. If you're interested in it, I wouldn't watch the crossover episode first. Instead check out episodes 4 or 7, which will give you a good idea of what the show is like when successful at its comedic and dramatic sides respectively.
Speaking of Gintama,
Gintama: Shinyaku Benizakura-hen
This follows Sunrise's hollowed tradition of lazy movie-making by repackaging TV animation (the low quality at times made this painfully obvious) with just enough minor additions to get people into the theaters. Of course, Benizakura is a great arc full of badassery, so I can't say I mind that much. The trolling at the beginning and end definitely made it worth watching.
I do hope the second Gintama movie follows a more original path, though I won't get my hopes up.
That says a lot about the anime really.
Yeah, the exact time where that takes place really isn't solid yet. I think a re-watching will probably help solve that. The main confusion is when they were there together, when Himari was adopted, and that they barely knew each other at the meeting. It couldn't take place before the meeting because they didn't know each other, and it couldn't take place after Kanba's parents died because the Takakura's loved each of the children. So it has to be some time inbetween the two points, but as to why or when specifically that was, i'm not sure.
Maybe it could be something like their parents were super-obsessed with the group's intentions at the time, so the children were neglected and in the way of the goals of the organization. They didn't really seem to watch them or what they were doing while they were organizing and meeting; the children were just kind of left there doing nothing.

Sket Dance x Gintama manga chapter came first which the end chapter leads to Gintama x Sket dance which strangely looks like Sket Dance x Gintama did not occur. Then came the anime adapation, Gintama x Sket Dance aired first which was animated awesomely by sunrise which shown they put in effort,the following week Sket Dance x Gintama was aired but was awkward and mediocre which shows Tatsunoko did not put in effort furthermore the ending was retcon due to Gintama x Sket Dance was aired first.
But yeah,both are actually self contain. The crossover is just for fun and fanservice for the fans.
The thing is, in the manga the Sket Dance half of the crossover did all the voice actor jokes because it was earlier in the shonen jump, when they got adapted into the anime, Gintama aired first and took all the voice actor jokes, which created... repercussions when the Sket Dance half of the anime crossover aired which they make jokes about.
Edit: Yeah what Defuser said.

Heartwarming ending with little resolution. For a moment there, I actually wanted Yozora to win, but Meat is still superior.
Overall, this was a harem series. Didn't really strive to be anything more or less. It was fun and I would watch a 2nd season, but I wouldn't be too broken up if we never got one.
