"New" girl get!
Yukina is still cute as always and Teacher looks great in white.
Did not expect that scene to play out the way it did. Initially thought he was going down vertically instead of horizontal.

Well it's in line of how long I take with AA games.
I watched an episode. The speed for reading for me is fine at the moment, although it was hard to maintain attention. It might be because I'm not feeling well though.

Oh god. Dat blue outline on the crotch area and angle. What is seen CANNOT BE UNSEEN
I think it just isn't as much fun as actually playing the game myself.

I think it's also that. It's not the kind of game that looks fun when you watch it.

For some reason I marathoned this show. I heard a lot of people like but it was fairly average. maybe it was because I'm not into mechas. L-Elf was a pretty good character, but Haruto was rather boring and stereotypical protagonist. The plot twists aside from the one between the first 2 episodes were fairly predictable. Aside from
, it wasn't surprising. I was expecting something more unusual. Also, it must have been terrible when the last episode was aired.

the rape
Which is funny, since basically playing the game is mostly just watching it.
Haha, yeah I saw you commenting on some shows beforehand. It was really just a joke about the thread and IS.
Okay, it still sounds like a show I'd like anyway. Thanks for the response.
Oh, and as far as the message headers, I don't know about you but I find they actually stand out more now since the site redesign.

That's why I played the translation patch for the first two cases rather than watching a playthrough. It's far more fun to get personally involved in solving the case (even if I have to wait a little longer to find out what happens next), and the rush from finding a breakthrough is something that can't be experience just by watching someone else play.

Haha. I had nothing better to do today so I finished Clannad season 1 and simply watched the OVA (it was paired up with the first season in my streaming site).
After Story I'll leave for this week.
With your avatar I thought it was the purple Doremi girl but reverse search seems to show it's actually the blue girl. Is the blue one correct?
C'est la vie, I guess.
Yeah, I'm gonna finish this third case and then wait for the full patch, I think. EDIT: On second thought, I think I'll just wait for the full patch period.
Yeah, it's Aiko. Thinking about adjusting the colors to make it less purple.
Edit: There we go.
Fate/Zero 14 (S2 Start)
Hell of a way to start a season. There was just... a ton of awesome in this episode. The fight against the monster, Berserker and Archer dogfighting, Kariya and Tokiomi facing each other down, and
New OP and ED are nice. I like that they're kind of a more somber tone. Can't say which I like more since I've listened to the first ones way more.

That's not Kyou.
So much wrong when it comes to Clannad these days, I swear.
Also After Story is very good, get to it whenever possible.

AnimeGAF. What's your level of love for Cromartie High? Curious since I've been surprised by the community once or twice.

Pretty great, the fact that a bunch of delinquents are goofballs is hilarious. Seeing random snips from the manga really make me want to read it too.

i have to agree .. it's much more entertaining to just wreck your brain and look for clues your self ... you're ta your own optimum pace that is obviously different that the playtester .

Phi brain kami no puzzle S3 - 03
Are they gonna show ratsel in a different outfit ( from a different country ) each episode ? That would be quite cool .
The puzzle was alright , it was obvious that we're in S1 territory with the givers as most of them won't accept defeat that easily , as for makata jin , given that this episode was so early in the season , only one answer was possible and this wasn't really hard to figure it out.
I think that ratsel will open up a little in root academy , not enough but she will ..anyway , let's put the rest of teh cast in the spotlight (leaving gyamon for the end as usual )

Armored Trooper Votoms - 23
Back to this after far too long of a break. Of course, Chirico is still a badass. Gets stabbed, doesn't give a fuck. Gets orders, doesn't give a fuck. And best of all, no juvenile whining.
Perhaps, but we'll see in a few dozen episodes. After all, I've done this once already.

I got pretty close to the end of Votoms but I lost interest in all the lost city stuff for some reason
It just feels like none of the original conflicts in the series are present anymore. I don't even remember why Chirico went to where he is anymore

That's mostly true, but you're leaving a few things out here, most notably that S1 did have some character changes. Remember when late in the season they "equalized" the harem, maybe starting from ep. 9 or 10? Sure the girls didn't lose character as badly as they did in S2, but suddenly seeing Char (and maybe also Houki)'s advantages disappear was ... odd.
As for stupid, the thing about S1 was that it was one of those things where it felt like the people making the anime (hopefully!) understood how stupid the thing they were making was, and had fun with it. Either that, or they totally failed... but either way, in S2, that's entirely gone as I've said, in favor of generic blandness. But S1 was definitely very stupid. The key (to why the show was "good") was HOW it was stupid.
As I've said I definitely agree on the core of this point -- making all of the girls "yan" tsunderes, as only Rin fully was in the first season, was a major mistake, and it definitely breaks down the differences between the characters. I think that each one of them has manged to hold on to SOME of the things that make each unique, so I wouldn't go quite as far as you do here, but you are right that they've broken down the differences between the girls, which is kind of an issue when you started out with a series where all five main girls could be described as tsundere... Char less than the others, but she did have some of that in S1. But now they're even more similar, and all have some hitting-him "yan" tendencies. That change was bad.
All five girls still DO have some of their original characters around, so you overstate things some, but it is true that they've been made even more similar. I'll continue with this below.
Heh... but no, it's definitely not worth the major changes ot the franchise just to get that result. (But yeah, I imagine there were some people somewhere who legitimately liked S1's characters...)
Considering that Looney Tunes is the best animated anything ever and Nichijou is one of the best comedy animes (it's not quite Excel Saga's equal, but it's near the top of the next tier down), I couldn't disagree with your tone here any more strongly, I think...
IS has devolved though, of course. And yes, Charlotte summoning her robot arm to shoot Ichika with was VERY out of character. She might be the worst-affected, so far... Rin's still sort of in character (as I said she always was the one who wanted to attack him for things); Houki did do that "stabbing through the door" thing at the beginning of S1E1 so her character change, while real, isn't as bad as Char's; Laura is changing but they're actually acknowledging that in the story, unlike Char, so it's not as bad; and Britain hasn't had as much focus yet I don't think, but has definitely changed of course.
I'm sure S2 will have a story. This is how it usually goes in these kind of things, you know -- you start with the silly comedy, but eventually get to the serious later on. I'm sure that'll happen here too; there have been a few hints of the main plot already after all, and there was ep. 3's cliffhanger ending...
But will that plot have anything to do with the directions hinted at in the last two episodes of season 1? So far they haven't, but who knows, something could happen eventually. Maybe, maybe not; we'll see.
No, it wasn't, it was moderately entertaining fun.
I don't think that sequence from the second half of ep. 3 is completely out of character for the girls post-equalization (that is, after the point in S1 where all five are put on equal footing), honestly... that's one reason why I said that I liked that part better, I think it fits a bit better with S1's style, not worse.
Of course it's a problem that S2 completely ignores S1's ending scene, and I wish they would have addressed that, but animes that don't want to end always do something stupid like that, so sadly you expect that kind of thing.

Awesome times continue, yes.
To be honest, I totally thought
And Excalibur? Excalibur was awesome.
Fate/Zero 16
Kirei's learning to enjoy life. This show is just like The Tatami Galaxy! Kirei is Watashi, Archer is Ozu, Kariya is Akashi, and Tokiomi is Higuchi.
This was another really good episode. Saber and Lancer's duel was cool, and I wish it was longer.
Kiritsugu continues to be a very interesting character. Brooding anti-hero done right.
That... doesn't bode well.
Awesome times continue, yes.
Caster's death was actually kind of sad, but also happy! He got reunited with Jeanne D'Arc!
Archer was going to have to die, not just sacrifice his spear.
And Excalibur? Excalibur was awesome.

Of course, that would've ruined the actual point of it. Kiritsugu, just... wow, dude. Cold.
So the mediator is dead.

You honestly can't be telling me this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDsTtSjnvf8
is superior to the following two pieces:

It might just be my personal taste talking but I prefer the songs that have depth in them told through classic orchestral instruments and/or the piano instead of, random upbeat stuff.
