I'll keep that suspiciously specific advice in mind.
I thought it was pretty clever!
If I had never watched the show it would've gone right past me, so yes, yes it was.
Usagi Drop Specials
Yup that was Usagi Drop. Even in condensed form, this show is still the sweetest thing ever. Aside from the length these didn't really feel any different from a regular episode.
I have no idea what you people are talking about. I expect to learn.

Just got Outlast with one of my best buds. Without exaggerating it went a bit like this:
-grab controller, walk around.
-scary jump scare happens
- scream, state to each other that it was stupid to buy this game since we're both scaredy cats.
- continue playing until chasing section. Scream uncontrollably as we forget which buttons do what. Get killed.
- Pass controller to next person swearing to never play again.
-Rinse and repeat.
I don't think I've ever screamed that much in my life from any piece of media. I need me some animu to calm my soul. Panda-kun save me from nightmares.

Sometimes I hate my own wimpiness because I'll buy a horror game that looks interesting from a story or atmosphere perspective and then go "nope nope nope" five minutes in and never touch it again.
And yet I somehow made it halfway into Amnesia. No idea how I did that to this day.
Can't wait to get this on PS+
:lol are these your videos?

Finally caught up on a few things:
Kill la Kill: This has a very interesting style, though I'm going to have to agree with some posts I've seen on the web about it being overwhelmingly sexualized. The difference though is that rather than throwing it into a show randomly or being part of a harem, the plot seems inherently based on it. While Mako and the high-energy gags are amusing, it's going to wear out really fast. I'll have to see where it goes.
Log Horizon: Since this bears similarities to SAO, I'll make some minor comparisons to it. For one, even with SAO's writing problems, I felt that it explained what it needed to well in the beginning and at least had somewhat believable motivations for characters. Log Horizon on the other hand just kinda throws everything in as the series goes.
. It's more "Hey, you don't need to know what happened - just enjoy the ride". I feel like there's very little backstory worth knowing about and they're feigning a sense of mystery to excuse poor writing. However, since it's a 25 episode series I imagine they'll expand upon it. Hopefully it doesn't drag on like this.
Unfortunately, that isn't the only thing that left me skeptcial. The OP is really annoying, and LH is also falling victim to the random "insert innuendo gag here" twice per episode. They're also heavily banking on Akatsuki's "cuteness", and she instead ends up overshadowing the rest of the as-of-now dull cast. In spite of this, it's still exciting to see how the battles are strategized, and if nothing else, I'm interested in seeing where those go.
Galilei Donna: This show surprised me the most. I heard that it was mediocre, but I'm actually enjoying it more than the two above. There have been some cringe-worthy moments and I don't think it's done anything ground breaking, but I care more about the characters and the universe that they're in. At this point, they can either finish off spectacularly or drop the ball halfway through.
I usually marathon shows instead of watching them as they air, but I think these need a bit more time to gestate in my mind anyway.
I'll take two.

Oh, this thing? Here's what this does. Oh, we're in a game? Cool. Oh, we suddenly have to do this or suddenly know about this?

I think they did that with an episode of Humanity Has Declined, too, IIRC.

Yeah. We said it should be called "Nope: the Video game"
My friend was gonna wait. But I convinced him that it was 13 bucks on Steam during Halloween sale and that it was well worth it to play it near october for 2spooky4me moments.
I love that guy. Not as manly as him but I swear he has a trick. Constantly talking and making everything into a joke helps out.
Yamato 2199 episode 25
Great episode. But what the fuck
the preview just spoiled fucking everything about what's gonna happen next episode. A baby is born and either Yuki or the Captain dies. Probably Yuki considering the preview with Kodai crying as he runs to her goku saiyan water pod thing. THANKS ANIME PREVIEW.
Oshii didn't direct. He only wrote for it.

Infinite Stratos S2 5
O...oh my. This whole episode. The fanservice level is:
Yamada-sensei: Of course she's the cow.
Japan: 8/10. notbad.gif Goddamnit, writers. Japan should not win. :/
England: 6/10. Hey, isn't that get up America's thing? Well, I guess England really doesn't have that much to work with
France: 9/10. HNNNNG. Poor Charles.
Germany: 7/10 for basically being a better england
Russia: 10/10. She's getting closer and closer to Best Girl every week.
China: 1/10. Try harder.
Goddamn this show gets even dumber ever second. I didn't think that was possible.
Welp...

didn't see that coming.
Don't worry, I'm sure Jarmel will come up with a contrived defence of why Oshii should be credited for the entire work.
That's what I meant. The screenplay for it is really fantastic. The directing is certainly similar to Oshii but it's less pompous and ordinate for the most part, which is probably why I like it more than Oshii's actual films.
Aren't we full of snark?
I knew something felt weird.

I was really surprised when I learned he was only the writer for Jin-Roh, since he did create the Kerberos saga. But then there are those live-action Kerberos films he directed.
Are his live-action films actually any good?
It's never enough. <3

Golden Time 5
I have feeling this is gonna lead to some major feels. I still think
. In fact, I'm almost certain of now that we know that a)
and b)
Now then, she obviously
but I think she's just trying to respect Tada's wishes about
.
I have feeling this is gonna lead to some major feels. I still think
Linda caused his accident
He was knocked off the bridge by someone on a moped
we've seen Linda in the flashback with a moped.
felt remorse and regret then
cutting all the ties that restrict him
Big words, but I believe it. It's certainly something I need to get around to sooner than later.

I don't think she knows about those wishes though. The first time she saw him again was during that flashback scene of the hospital, and then he came to the uni. He apparently has only told Koko, but maybe his parents had a suspicion and told Barb.. err Linda
Yamato 2199 episode 26
I cannot express in words the greatness. It brought me to tears so many times. God I hope the theatrical release they talked about for 2014 in websites is actually a second season/continuation and not a prequel.
If this counts as a contender for AOTY, I'd cast my vote for it.
New short PV and key visual for the The Idolmaster Movie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-L-33EdHsw
Apparently seven of the idols from the Million Live smartphone game will be appearing in the movie.
After watching the first 2 Patalbor movies, this seems like a huge statement. Time to invest some time into this series I guess.
edit: Admittedly, outside of UY, he may have better works than the Pat movies but cot damn if they weren't awesome.

But he did talk about wanting to cut those ties straight to her face, I think with the implication that he wants to start completely over in Tokyo. And I think it also meant, at least to Linda, that they should probably split their ties too. Tada was probably holding her down with guilt as much as she (inadvertently?) held him there. When she's sees him again in Tokyo at their college, I think she understands that this is his escape. Now why is she trying to get him and Koko involved with her club, maybe because she still holds a flame for him and is somehow rationalizing that she can start over with him? Idk.
Chifuyu got retired hard when Russia showed up.
UY TV is Oshii out of his comfort zone and still doing well.
But it was the first thing he directed, how could he have a 'comfort zone' at that point?
He directed individual episodes of other shows before UY. I think he did some Yatterman and Gatchaman II episodes.

- Log Horizon - 01
That Rage Against The Machine-esque OP was cool. Japanese Zack de la Rocha impressions is both bizarre and awesome hahaha. Probably one of my favorites this season.
You know, I think I could enjoy this show. Despite the similar setting to SAO it has an entirely different feel. Everyone is super stereotypical, though lol but that doesn't really bother me too much in this case.
The art isn't nearly as strong as Sword Art Online's was, though.
Hell yes it is!
All of the above are good choices. Particularly jojo, Ben to, Fate Zero
I feel the same way. Samurai Flamenco should stick around a while.
Thats perfectly fine!

What? Best dub voice (well not really an honour in this) but at least in her moment in the episode I saw is best of the femCast.

Akatsuki reminds me of Taiga. I mean, mostly cause she's so moe and short and stuff, but also the ED is just giving me vibes of banira saruto lol
This is totally wish fulfillment anime. But I like it!
Fate/Zero - 15 (rewatch)
Dat Excalibur strike, still awesome as ever. BTW now I can accept they removing
Fate/Zero - 16 (rewatch)
moment was powerful, Also the dialogue in the end was great. Talking about the false value of chivalry and such, what a goddamn batman.
Fate/Zero - 17 (rewatch)
EDIT: Screw top of the page.
Dat Excalibur strike, still awesome as ever. BTW now I can accept they removing
part where Archer got reminded to Enkidu when that attack unleashed, its make sense there's already similar scene when Caster reminded to Jeanne when he about to die, putting Gil's random flashback too in there would be awkward. The dialogue that he had with Raider already explain most of interest that he have to Saber.
Fate/Zero - 16 (rewatch)
Poor Lancer.. I still wish they fleshing out the lancer team more, especially for Kayneth-Sola ui dynamic.. but damn that betrayalton and
Lancer's rage
Fate/Zero - 17 (rewatch)
Stupid Sexy Kirei, such a fascinating character he is, I can listen his chatting with Gil all day long.
EDIT: Screw top of the page.

Log Horizon 03
Of course she picked meido as her subclass.
Of course the loli is actually an adult.
Of course the bad guys have never played Animal Crossing and cared about an NPC's feelings.
I want to find out who braid hair girl is. Is that just Marie with a different outfit? Cause it seemed like Shiroe was crushinnnnn

Given how he left and his body of work afterward, it's safe to say it wasn't holding his interest.
