Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Tell me about it! Episode 7 had such a feel of finality of some element of happiness that I was a little difficult for me to enjoy this episode without thinking that some debacle was around the corner. Its no longer a matter of if but one of how and when. I answer CRUELLY and SOON.
It's like everyone is rubbing it in Touma's face to break up the friendship because they don't have the balls to.... like some Yayoi-Ogata hybrid

If you really enjoy that part where half of the main cast dies in cruel and unforeseen manners as is customary for Gundam shows then you probably won't like this show
yet

Legal streaming sites are nice when they work as well as other means. Crunchyroll does a more than decent job for paid subscribers. For non-paid subscribers they'd sometimes delay episodes for a week or so, like with Shingeki No Kyojin. How they weren't expecting freebie people to not go to other websites is not only beyond me. But also Beyond the Boundary.
Seriously I think it's hilariously cheesy when shows work their title into the actual dialogue, and this one has done it twice.

I've actually had pretty bad issues with Crunchy's videos failing to load, randomly stopping, or subtitles vanishing into the ether. Don't know if it's my computer or what, but my connection is solid.
I'm waiting for it in White Album 2:
"This song you wrote, what's it called?"
"I call it White Album... Two."
*Music swells*
Yeah but thats just how Crunchy rolls
Thanks. Ill be here all night.
seriously Im going to be stuck in this office for 10 more hours.

They do that for every show.
For what it's worth, CR only freezes up on me if I've paused the video for several minutes or longer. It'll play for thirty seconds to a minute, then suddenly freeze. Other than that, it always works fine for me.
Daisuki works more like Netflix, in that the video and audio quality varies wildly every couple of minutes. It's kind of annoying.

See Log Horizon makes sense, in anime logic, because that's the name of the guild. They were Bound to say it. Beyond the Boundary.
Though White Album 2 is SO going to do what you're saying. For once in my life I'd like an anime like this to do
"This song you wrote, what's it called?"
"I call it Chocolate Nipples Desu Nya"
"You can't be serious"
"I mean.. White Al..bum 2?"
*Music swells*
Sorry should've gone on, the episodes were delayed a week AND the FB page kept saying how "due to issues the episode won't come out till like [3 days later]". I don't give a shit since I own my subscription, I do my part.
Just like I have Gamefly. Nintendo doesn't need to worry about Zelda A Link Between Shitty Art Styles making bank, because it will. So I'm renting it.
Daisuki seems really inconsistent, which is a shame because it could be a good alternative. When they work it's good, but it seems like they've had a lot of trouble with episodes being timely, as well as errors with the episodes themselves.
I bet it'll be more like:
Setsuna: "Hey what's that song you wrote called?"
Kitahara: "Uh I dunno"
Setsuna: "You should call it White Album 2 because White Album is the best song ever written."
Kitahara: "Yeah alright."
*Music swells*
Kill La Kill:
Ryuko: "I was Spanish all along! Now I am going to Kill La Kill!"
Satsuki: "...That still doesn't make sense."
*Music swells*

White Album 2 08
Probably... the worst episode of the bunch so far. Seemed slow paced. I found myself skipping quite a bit. Touma used to be best girl for me but now her white knight "you were never my friend" and the "I never cared for him" cool attitude is turning me off from her.
Now I'm Team 2D-kun. Yes 2D-kun is also shippable in this anime. If not him, I guess Setsuna.

Hm, I dunno, I thought the slow pace worked in its favor. It's sort of a melancholy cooldown after the big events of Ep 7. It's like "Well all that happened but now it's time for us to move on and deal with it and graduation is coming soon winter winter blah blah etc."... If you know what I mean.
Yeah, they're kind of doing a balancing act with Touma now. I thought it was alright in this episode, but it could get kind of annoying depending on how it goes.
2D-kun is shippable in all anime. 2D-kun/Rei Ayanami OTP.

Monogatari SS 21
Oh maaaaaaan this gon' be good. I was a bit worried at first since when focus shifted away from Araragi like how in Hanekawa's arc it ended up being mediocre, but luckily Kaiki and Senjougahara play off each other extremely well so we won't be having that problem again. And also because Kaiki's rad as fuck.
One last thing: Stop mentioning Kanbaru if she's not going to appear for real-real, I'm already mad as it is!
Give me Kanbaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

It's simple:
1) Ryo-chimo is an excellent animator, a leading figure of the web-gen school of animators, and has numerous connections with other excellent animators.
2) I watched the Hoshi no Umi OADs done by the same staff, and they had good animation.
3) I watched the trailer for the TV series, and it had good animation.
So I was pretty confident before the season started that Yozakura Quartet would have the best animation out of any show, and I was right.
Hi there AnimeGAF, first post on this part of the dark side!
Pocket Monsters X/Y 007
OTP on my Pokémon anime? And with a likable girl? CHILDHOOD FRIEND ON TOP OF ALL?!?!!
Words cannot express how happy I am right now. It's like my inner child was pulled out and is now constantly dancing right in front of me. One of the first things this endless anime needed was some romance and character development for Ash.

Your image is on a banned site, looks like a tinypic link. Upload your image at imgur or minus
EDIT: all is well.
Sorry, corrected it immediately, wow you are fast readers haha (not even 1 minute passed)
We're actually all sentient AIs who live in the pipes of GAF.
... which brings me to my second post!
Galilei Donna Episode 7
This series gets darker, grittier and more tense every episode since they killed off those orphans. Party because of the main villain, who is not afraid to fill up heads and bodies with bullets if you ever dare stand against him. They lost control of the mystical ''energy stone'' so now they've decided to find and collect all the Galileo Tesoros instead, wishful thinking but it will lead to something eventually.
I'm excited to see what will happen, the goldfish AI is just too cute to pass up.
(Oh and Kazuki, she's perfect)
Monogatari SS 21 (Koimonogatari 1)
Well, this marks the first episode of Monogatari that I've watched after reading the novel material that it was adapted from (I actually read the first 100 pages or so of Koimonogatari this very morning, can confirm that it is good shit, and am looking forward to seeing
next episode).
And I must say, this definitely holds up as an adaptation even if I'm already familiar with the material. I mean, I was already reading the novel aloud to myself in my best Miki Shin'ichiro impression just because, but of course hearing the actual guy do it is on a whole different level. I think my impression is fairly good as impressions go, but Miki Shin'ichiro's voice is the voice of a god, and I cannot hope to truly reproduce that. Mmmmm yes, Kaiki, give it to me good. Wait what.
I think I'm going to have to actually write down my list of seiyuu man-crushes at some point because I may have too many to keep track of.
Point is, Kaiki is the best. A fair bit of the inner workings of his mind was sadly lost in the process of adaptation, of course, but all the important notes were there, and in exchange we got to see a variety of different Hawaiian shirts and moustache glasses. lol. I guess that's meant to be representative of the fact that Kaiki as a narrator doesn't give two shits about details, consistency, or truth. Or rather, he gives plenty of shits about the lack of them. (Seriously, you have no idea how often narrator-Kaiki reminds the reader to doubt every last thing he says.)
EDIT:
Welcome! I hope you will enjoy it here!
Just to warn you, posting positive things about Galileidonna is distinctly against the norm here. I think I might be the only person here who's still legitimately enjoying it, and even I thought episode 7 was a little weak. But yeah. Bullets. There were definitely those.
Oh, also everyone hates Kazuki. Well, I don't think she's that bad, but Hozuki is bettar.
I'll agree that the goldfish is cute, though.

Well this was pretty interesting to say the least. To call it an SDBurton anime would be doing it a great disservice really. It not only delivers on that front but does so much more.
I was expecting to be Nice Boat'd several times through its run.
the show was pretty competent in dishing out the crazy and playing with one's expectations. Especially given its runtime. Many laughs were had and to say the ending was special is an understatement.

As someone who has read that part too i have to agree.
Kaiki during this arc is at a higher level than what he was before it's incredible.
Monogatari Second season - 21
You're gonna be Trolled .......
Congrats kaiki , this sure was entertaining , i doubt many would see what was true and what was false , trully the work of a master scammer !
That conversation was gold on so many points.
Thanks! I'll enjoy it I know it for sure (also yey another GD watcher)
Hozuki is unquestionably 100% waifu material. But I like Kazuki more since she's an angsty young girl, which makes her more human.

Nice going, Kojou.
Special mention goes to Asagi, who actually took the initiative and now holds the title for best girl in the show.
Oh, actually, slight correction: it was episode 6 I thought was a little weak, not episode 7. Episode 7 was pretty decent. Episode 6 was also the one with all the bullets.
I guess I'm just getting confused because the noitaminA shows are a week behind everything else in episode number. Silly noitaminA.

I move to propose that "The Breaking Bad of Animation" be our "The Citizen Kane of Gaming" in honor of this ridiculous article.
I think reading that gave me cancer. Deal lord >_>

Korra: The most absolutely overrated piece of animated entertainment. Couldn't watch a single minute more after watching the season 1 ending. Seriously. Not even one minute.
I died a little inside, god damn.
I'm guessing this guy would love Psycho-Pass.
That is so hilariously dumb to say. How did this article get signed off?
''Psycho Pass is the Godfather of this generation, the quintessential animated series for adult and mature people looking for the best entertainment out there''

Haha I know, I'm just making a satire of the author's concept of ''dark and mature''. If he's all about the pew pew then ... you know what, just forget about it, that was awful to read.
