Gintama - 239
You'd think a show like this would hit it's plateu at some point, but not Gintama.
This could be the greatest harem ever.
But the animation took a hugh dive. First time I ever seen since Gintama' started.
I know some of the things I say in my posts are pretty obvious, but I usually like to leave them 'as is' to later revisit them and check what I thought and wrote at the precise moment (for some things I also have a very bad memory, it's true), and see it in the context of the ongoing opinions and discussions you all posted as well. Sorry if this is a little obnoxious!
For this reason, and as much as I like Rider's bravery, the conversations between Archer and Kirei are probably the most enjoyable parts of the show for me, at the moment.
To the point; Archer/Gilgamesh is truly a King of Kings, and his bold schemes used to satisfy his appetite and curiosity clearly demonstrates it, I think. His interest in knowing the game mechanics and those who participate in it makes him appear as an even more dangerous Servant, with that unsettling and scary sensation of control he exerts, that reminded me of the first instances in which appeared Caster/Bluebeard. Even a mysterious and seemingly important character like Kirei resembled a dummy battered by his complacent words.
By the look of it, Archer's seems only interested in prolonging the Holy Grail War to test, by his own hand, what true determination resides in Saber's words, how much she is willing to suffer for her ideals. That motivation to find a form of joy that really pleases him in that very calculated way, using actions indirectly taking advantage of others, is a trait of a true King.

Yes! And after that, I imagine the poor man later tossed away once Gilgamesh persuaded him completely and obtained what he wanted. That is the will of a King that prefers to encounter the pleasure in the means rather than the finality.

Gintama has a near endless supply of amusing facial expressions.
Man, I can't believe Gintoki
supposedly did Hasagawa

Like mono no aware, the word trolling has become way too overused and lost all it's meaning. It ain't trolling if it's true.
Well at least I can give you a brofist for liking Yuru Yuri. Bring on S2 indeed. I've come to accept that Yuru Yuri doesn't really have a whole lot of yuri, I'd be stunned if there was more development on that front in S2. Pleasantly surprised.
You would be doing it wrong if you did.
Near poverty is more like it!
I suggest watching the important arcs to get the whole cast of characters then start watching Gintama'. Or at least watch one/twice a day,its a fun fun ride.
But wouldn't that be a fool's errand considering Glass Fleet sets the bar so high?
Second edition Ohana and Minchi dakimakuras? Iroha confirmed for huge success.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
It really is fun and catchy. I find myself occasionally humming the Akiba theme.

Are you sure you're not watching Golden Boy 5?

There's a double penetration joke to be had there somewhere!
I don't see it.
I was just about to ask if I was missing out on some kind of bizarre, Gintama-esque meta-humour with that double post there...
That would've been funny considering I'm not even a Gintamabro.

MajiKoi whatever:
So, probably the only thing that really matters in a haremshit series is how the producers end up trolling people because most of them aren't actually about "romance" or silly junk like that - School Days being the most (in)famous example.
This was a new one for me though:

Even if you gave Madhouse 300 million dollars now, they would not use it to finish Dream Machine.
The truth is like a dagger to my heart.

The Adventures of Mini-Goddess - 6-9
The Godzilla parody was pretty good. I hope I can finish the show till friday, so I can watch the movie as my christmas movie.

I miss 80s shoujo.
Almost makes me want to soldier through the Ace wo Nerae sequel.
I don't think it bodes well for a show when no one actually remembers the show, just the plus-sized women.

Nothing ever goes as planned for Sanae
although Chizuru was the star of the episode, she is just a misunderstood person
