Detective Conan 259:
James showing why he's awesome even in his first appearance. His thoughts as the kidnappers were taken down were pretty badass. This was one of those cool episodes where a lot of characters get a chance to do something awesome, even though the whole situation could have been avoided if Yumi had just been paying better attention. Plus, Akai acting cool and mysterious is always a plus.

Oh, since I've not posted a UK Streaming News Update recently, apparently the Animax UK streaming site goes live on Friday to coincide with a marketing push at London MCM. Coppelion (the first couple of episodes of which are being screening at MCM) and Magi S2 are both confirmed to be simulcasting from there, which isn't really surprising given Viz/Kaze seem to be providing most the early line-up.
Sounds interesting. So this'll be the third UK-focused streaming site after the (now seemingly defunct) Anime on Demand and the new Wakanim UK, or are there others?
Nah, just those, though at this point I'd effectively consider Animax the replacement for AoD, since that was a Viz/Kaze intuitive, who are providing content for . It'll be interesting to see if AoDs back-catalogue gets rolled into Animax, or if it just disappears.

Starting in April? I wonder if it might replace Saint Seiya Omega. The second season should be finishing in March if it lasts one year like the first one (and it just got a second/fourth opening confirmed).
Edit: Wait, nevermind. I hadn't noticed that it says that Disney itself will be airing it in Japan, so it wouldn't replace a Tv Asahi show.
Really? Graham Chapman would be proud... that must be the best homage he could receive since he died.
Seems like Mr. Nagano keeps negotiating those sporadic theater showings, since earlier this year... and now, even to see it on 4K! Maybe they're are waiting for a better implantation and bigger share of such native resolution TVs on the market to release the film on digital discs mastered for them! :-V
But, they couldn't bring down another "youngster" like Mr. Yoshihara and his 'sakuga' mermaids. Don't come here with these weak excuses! >

So I tried watching Sora No Otoshiwhatever before and I couldn't stand the main male lead since his whole persona was perverted clown with no cool features about him.
Does he get better throughout the series or does he stay as this?

Do you like it to the point of doing a pilgrimage?
And that digital disc release of the HanaIro film has been out in Japan for a week!
Yeah, I miss too such a gentleman. I hope all we talked about in here didn't create any serious friction between him and his missus. :-(
I thought that him talking about the project on that 'insider' manner habitually, and how he mentioned they commenced the filming process (at the time) kind of hinted clearly he could be a part of it:
Twitter / osamukoba: 撮影、気合い入ってる！RT @waka_geek: RT @ ...

The second season also features some more of that Mr. "Aninari" Yoshinari goodness (that I'm not going to post a link to in here because of the... revealing... nature of the scenes).
But tell us, oh my empress, which day was this exactly?
I don't see fair that the one who congratulates us the most and in such a nice way is the one to not share her birthday for us to do the same, as it should be. ESSENTIAL RECIPROCITY!

I must admit that I'm a little bit behind on this watching this episode so I've forgotten most of the impressions posted about it. This series still seems to be pretty good in that it has interesting, well written characters talking to each other and occasionally doing stuff. I know it's pretty hard to sell a show, especially an anime, by saying it's well written and that the characters are interesting but that's genuinely how I feel about it.
Also, don't take other people's umbrellas!

The show has been basically serious animu Kick-Ass. Since it's so grounded on reality I assume the OP is not going to happen unless that's about him getting his own tv show.

What I really liked about the umbrella plot is Goto casually dismissing umbrella theft during the dinner as an unimportant trifle no one should get worked up about, but when his umbrella was stolen he was all "We can't stand for this!" Isn't that so typical of human behavior? We casually dismiss other people's problems as unimportant, but when it happens to us suddenly it becomes the most important issue in the world which everyone should be focusing on. Ah, the self-centeredness of man.
If you watch the OP through the end, it clearly establishes that the action sequence is Masayoshi's dream.
Admiral Woofington
Member
Huh, I tend to skip most OP's so never caught that. As to the umbrella dilemma, yeah that's human behavior for the most part. Similar to how making fun of others is fun for many, until you're the one being made fun of. "It's fine as long as it doesn't happen to you". That's just human hypocrisy in general.

Also, Toei is making a new Marvel anime, Disc Wars: Avengers, though the premise is closer to a "mons" series than a normal adaptation...
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-10-23/toei-makes-disc-wars/avengers-anime-for-marvel
five news posts in the span of six posts...thats in tents, litrally.
What a baffling move for Toei, why cant they just give us more Omega or adapt something like Harry Potter into an anime.

Moreover, when Masayoshi originally brings the umbrella point up he sounds a little bit of an extremist but at the end of the episode, via his actions, he's actually shown some heroism in how far he goes to defend the value he holds dear. Moreover Masayoshi actually displays heroic qualities in how far he goes to defend this ideal which might make Goto rethink his position on the whole 'superhero' issue. It's a well written scene.

They should just do an adaptation of Disappearance of Yuki Nagato instead.

The first half of this episode was boring as fuck. 2nd half went in a different direction than I expected.
. Pretty lame of an episode overall although it does give more understanding to Akihito. No wonder he feels so isolated.

Why are we all still watching this? Are we expecting it to get better or do we simply think it's bad but not bad enough to drop?

Free! characters have the best fashion. Nagisa and Rin especially.
Visually it's still pretty impressive. Besides, if I can justify watching S.H.I.E.L.D. or Korra on a weekly basis, I can justify watching this.
Edit:So browsing AS and came across this:

So I guess it's Hanada and Ishidate's fault. Also here is a better summary of the differences between the LN and anime, in a different post:

You shut your mouth. Korra is Nuck-tuckity!
Besides every episode prior to these last three. Those were nuck-terrible

After 4 episodes, it's definitely bad enough to drop.
We're going back to Korra in a couple of weeks after the awesome Beginnings stuff, we'll see if the quality stays the same or drops back to its normal shitty ass level.
Booo.. I thought this episode supposed to be good, maybe I'm gonna dropping this after watching the episode.
Sounds like they made a bad thing worse.

If a show is bad, then it's bad enough to drop.
Meh, 2nd half was pretty cool though. It does flesh out Akihito to some degree.

LOL people actually thought KnK was going to have a good 4th episode.
That's called misplaced/high expectations for something that has been bad for 3 episodes already.

Now that the matter was settled after that newspaper article mistake, the first trademark leak rumors have started to show up for next year's Precure, and the name they're showing is "Happiness Charge Precure". As always, this could be fake though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Jarmel is right. The first half of this made me think I was in the for the worst episode yet by a mile, but the second half was at least a bit of a surprise and, most importantly, not an ugly escalator labyrinth. The episode reached the destination I was expecting in a different way than I expected. It's a shame we only really learn something about Akihito, despite the involvement of a good amount of the cast, but I'll take what I can get with this show. The events of the second half are also pretty nice to look at, so there's that.
Also, I would have liked that phone joke more if it was a throwaway gag nobody commented on.

Let me elaborate I guess, the first half of KnK is talking on escalators and then tragic backstory time. It's quite boring and the action stuff is pretty bland. 2nd half is much more interesting visually and narrative-wise. Any images from the 2nd half would be a pretty big spoiler and I shouldn't really talk about it.

I think Smile Charge, and think that name is rather derivative already. Who knows, it could be a sequel to Smile since everyone and their grandma sexualizes them the most, but I don't think this will be the name.
You see, now I'm torn. On the one hand, that background sounds more sensible and kind of interesting, so I wish the anime hadn't gone on such a massive departure from it. On the other hand, if they'd just followed the LN version we wouldn't have got adorable Mirai or adorable half-youma girl. And removing adorable things is bad. Hell, the adorable things are some of the few redeeming features of the show so far. So yeah.

Smile direct sequel? "Happiness Charge" sounds like it could be a power up call for Cure Happy. Well, not really, but it was the first thing that came to mind.
Hardly a catchy name. Hope it's not true.
Unless it means a Smile sequel, in which case go for it! There can never be enough Yayoi.

Maybe they feel sorry for Cure Happy when the community gives more attention to the other characters in her group.

This show's most redeeming quality is the action since the characters aren't especially interesting. And it seems like next episode will be all dialogue.
Also the protagonist for the first time showed why he'd be a protagonist, but chances are he won't ever be this badass again until like the finale. Which is bullshit. I still don't know if it's enough to make me dd-d-d-d-d-d-drop the show, but I'll keep watching for now.

Viewers after the final episode of Fresh: "what the fuck is a Heartcatch?"
Remember when I told you that sometimes I feel the urge to rewrite the Happy Science mythos as a magical girl anime as a joke? This isn't helping.
