You're late to the party. What gives?
Wouldn't even survive long enough to drift off into unconsciousness. SPLAT and it's done.
I imagine Chiyu feels more run into the ground than any Haru fat joke.
duckroll asked me to after reading my reaction to SAO 15. I guess I'm officially a Kawahara acolyte now.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Is that an SAO swipe? If so, bravo!

Of course! lol

Hmm? That was just one of many possible examples. See also: Brother Dear Brother. I didn't imply that the set-up was unique, I was simply illustrating how the two very halves of the show intersect in a rather odd way.
A real Kawahara fan would import the light novels from Japan.
That's half the joke, yes.
That's half the joke, yes.
Now I feel the full regret of being late to this, because I'm doomed to make the same jokes that everyone else already made six months ago.
PERCHANCE WERE YOU AWARE THAT HARU IS OBESE
3750 is below that line. Joshiraku did slightly better, but
:siren DISCLAIMER I HAVE NEVER WORKED WITH KING RECORDS/STARCHILD :siren
SZS was okay, but nothing to nipah about at 5000-6000. It wasn't as dire as it was presented or it never would have hit S2 nvm S3+ovas, but it def could've done better--it's the worst-selling Shaft nonbomba.
The shift to JC Staff could have been based on workload with Shaft on movies all summer, but even still I really doubt Shaft lost on budget. Meaning, the "Kumeta shows don't sell" evidence is just mounting here and going back to the SZS well won't make budgets lok better.
Remember, burning bras makes them bounce even more fervently.
Doesn't prevent easy access to Chiyu's backdoor. Yeah dusting off all the old jokes now.

Show's over, wrap it up. Gin's dead.
I would say that was the best exchange yet in the first couple minutes of the show. Lots of story but hopefully lots of action following up.

A two episode OVA about a nice guy with a face of a bad guy so everybody is quick to assume he's the worst human being on the planet.
I honestly thought this was going to be a bit more fun, at first I felt really sorry for the guy, then it was funny for a moment, then the same thing got repeated over and over and then the second episode ended.
Pretty average, too bad, could have been good.

I didn't realize Gintama did a crossover with Senran Kagura!
Very nice action all around. I'm quite liking this arc in comedy and action.
Too bad you can't seem to knock away kunais.

[Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun] - 3
This episode, undeniably, looked a lot a lot cheaper than the last two. It's pretty hard to miss some of the more familiar and well known cost-cutting techniques on display here. For example, in a number of scenes when the characters were talking or moving or just doing something that might require animators to draw something they cut away to a still like this and carried on playing the audio:
Riveting. This isn't particularly shocking though, most shows tend to decline in visual quality somewhat after their opening because the opening is designed to hook you in where as once you a few episodes in they don't need to work quite as hard. I doubt ratio-kun was very pleased, but honestly it didn't bother me in the slightest.
This might be my favourite episode of the series, an opinion I doubt is shared by many. For example, I enjoyed how most of the elements in this episode felt slightly more grounded than usual. More importantly, this episode focuses in very on a small handful of days and let us observe a gang of quirky characters interact with each other over that time. It feels like the show has fallen into a strong rhythm now and they no longer need to rush over large stretches of time.
Also is this set of steps:
The same as this set of steps from Kimagurae Orange Road
or am I just going senile? I guess it's a pretty bad sign if you can start recognising individual locations in Japan that aren't really obvious landmarks like skyscrapers.

I'm not exactly seeing the problem there.

Everytime I doubt Kingdom's ability to top itself...

Whoever put this gif together... they are funny people.
... I thought they rode motorcycles off the cliff at first.
The only conclusion I can come to is... We need Oreimo S2 before he suggests more things.
The manga is one million times better.

Oh man, everything about that
was just :lol :lol Does the writing ever show any sort of restraint? Does the wish fulfillment ever taper off in shamefulness? I certainly hope not.
And wow at that ending, even if
. This is actually kind of suspenseful and exciting! What's wrong with me?
Oh man, everything about that
confession
And wow at that ending, even if
I figured Taku was Cyan Pile the second that the whole "backdoor" thing came into play
Manga is the same thing but even longer and even more repetitive.
Hell no you're not bad for liking it. It might be bad, but at least its interesting and has characters with more depth than cardboard.
Plus, KYH is super cute and you might wish to buy a figure of her:

Another show where the music definitely helps the atmosphere. But Planetes is just a great show period. Glad you have enjoyed it!
Yeah, Chiyu is probably the worst girl. Cute, but nevertheless the worst.
She does some aggravating shit throughout.
You're just enjoying the superior show is all.
Now you realize how silly all that stuff is.

Season 2 down! Will watch the specials and proceed to season 3 once I have finished the second season of Koihime Musou. Back to the land of genderflips and yuri!
Sae and Hiro
getting into an argument? What is this nonsense?!
They made up in the end though so everything is well. 
Yuno's
playfight with herself at the end was 'hnnng' worthy.

Hopefully that gif doesn't put off the current challenger.
Yes, I do feel enlightened now.
