I agree. I might love to squee and have fun all the itme, but I can also be very mature when it involves serious issues. At work Im trusted to manage 8 million dollars worth of equipment and close to 40 drivers not including the fuel on the trucks, so I have a lot of adult responsibility, yet I will never EVER stop enjoying the lighter side of things. I dont need dark grittiness in my entertainment all the time to consider it mature entertainment.
Same. I think it just has the same kind of whimsical feeling as the Catherine disc.
So either 4chan or I misunderstood something in the recent KNK episode.
When Mirai responds positively that was her plan all along, I thought it was referencing her decision after crying in the tub. Some people on 4chan seem to understand it that from the very beginning of the anime, she was hired/brought in to kill Akky.
There are two sides gunning for Beyond the Boundary. Izumi is likely working for the head of her family, the old man is probably the Nase patriarch. Maybe he's immortal too. Fujima works for the Society and they might be under control of another super Youmu, judging from what he takes orders from. Izumi saved Kuriyama a long time ago, and she owes her a favor.
After Izumi finally determined that Akky is Beyond the Boundary, she contacted Kuriyama, and she transferred over to get close to him and kill him when the calm arrives. Fujima got wind of the plan at some point, and gave Sakura the weapon to encourage her to take revenge on Kuriyama, as a means of getting in the way of Izumi's plan.

duck plz
That was my takeaway. Would explain the scene further in beween her and hiroomi on the roof when she indirectly explains she already knew akkey was a youmu.

Kyoanus no Kanata - Episode 9
Such twist.
Much action.
So drama.
Wow.
So it was so bad it destroyed your ability to conjugate complex sentences? Sounds like brain damage.

Sadly, the typical result of watching any post-Nichijou KyoAni show.

Mods already endorse Banderas, hope was lost before then.

IIRC, a lot of the dominance of superheroes can be blamed on the introduction of the Comics Code. Which nobody has even followed for a few years now, and it was getting extremely loose anyway, so it's not much of an excuse.
Superheroes were really big up from their introduction through WWII, but after that, the market really diversified as superheroes fell out of fashion temporarily. Everyone went back to superheroes after the Comics Code was introduced because stuff like crime and horror comics couldn't be published anymore. Although that doesn't explain where Westerns and sci-fi went.
Let's set something straight. It's only Y2Kev who endorses Banderas. And I hate doge too, it's fucking dumb. I think Aeana is a fan though. It just felt like a fitting usage considering the nature of the show.

Now, the animation in the television series really is above average but I don't think that's quite fair. The OVA's look crazy hot even when there's no action going on.
More importantly, the OVA's feature scenes with undisputed best girl:

More like Banderas being associated with a console is what makes it worse
I know, you don't remember our IRC chats? I'm well aware Kagari hates it as well, and constantly shakes fists at Y2Kev's action over it.

What the hell, Jex also have good taste in waifu!
Mirai was supposedly about to be executed until Izumi stepped in so I guess Mirai owed Izumi and decided to take on this assassination job. She tried to kill him initially but that obviously didn't work so she continually tried to kill him the first week. After giving up, she decided to get closer to him until she had another chance or something. She had seemingly planned for the possibility as she had the glasses on during the initial meeting. So she was testing him at the very beginning and went with the backup plan when she confirmed that he wouldn't die.
So chances are Mirai doesn't even need glasses and was only wearing for them for Akky's benefit. It looks like that at the end when she takes them off. Izumi probably told Mirai about Akky's glasses fetish and Mirai used that to get close to Akky. Not to mention all those stupid bouts of moe were to get Akky's attention. She was acting all along, pretending to be this innocent stupid girl.

This is almost Blood-C levels of trolling if true. Hanada seemingly redeemed I guess. What the fuck.
Yeah, I'm kinda looking forward to getting to that point. I want to see exactly how weird it gets.
Polar Bear Cafe's cast is great. I should go back to that show at some point. I like it a lot, but I reached a similar point to Nichijou where after a while I just got tired of the episodic comedy antics. We'll see if that's a problem with Zetsubou, but it seems weird and dark enough that it'll probably avoid that.
I burst out laughing when this happened. I think my tally in this episode came up to around 16 push-ups?

My tennant/roommate put up a picture of doge in our dining room. He wants to get it framed.
Oh my god, Nadia Blu-ray is getting a domestic release
Very nice. Definitely considering it.
I kind of wonder how the US, with 400 million people couldnt have a larger market for anime than a small country like France. Kinda sad.

She will have a much bigger role in the TV series than the OVAs once the next arc starts.
KNK is not THAT bad. But I am of the opinion that a lot of anime is actually pretty fun even some of the bad stuff. I find myself enjoying quite a few shows each season and having more than enough to watch.
Log Horizon 5-8 aka Megane : The Anime
Shiroe getting all Jim Profit in there. Love it. Also now I feel badass pushing my glasses back up. Every. Single. Time.
I have to push my glasses up a lot because of my narrow bridge. Its annoying and not at all badass. but youre right they make it look that way.
First package arrived from Right Stuf. I don't know what to do with the artwork yet.
Wait a minute. How did you get a copy of Sakurasou this early? I can see GuP but Pet girl is like mid December..

Very bad, filler episode. To think I thought Aoi won't ever come back again(
your face after you watch gohands anime.
you can safely skip this episode, it's entirely pointless.
looking at the preview... not all hope is lost.
Looks like it could be a self contained little story in 12 episodes if they stop there, it's obvious now where/how it will end, could be decent.

All these thoughts! Definitely getting back the season one vibes here. And Rena's

again...
Shit hit the fan.
Looks like this arc gave some more hints regarding the volcanic eruptions to which was hinted back in season one with Keichii instead being the sole survivor when he went psycho trying to save Satako. I wonder if the wishing-for-people-deaths-coming-true mini plot will ever resurface.
Well from this arc it is shown that a mysterious third group is behind the murders, and the great disaster, instead of the Three Families/Sonazaki family. Going back to the Shion/Mion arc from the first season I wonder if the Sonozaki grandma is connected to this third group in anyway. Or perhaps Rena/Tamoko's belief of religious fanatics was indeed true, cutting out the alien nonsense anyway.

GoHands have truly never done anything worthwhile. All they've brought to the medium is god off filters
Thats pretty nuts. I preordered a bunch of stuff with Accel world on like the 20th but they shipped it out yesterday. I guess I should preorder earlier.

Man, Coppelion looks like a waste of bandwidth. Why watch that when I can just go to tumblr?
So, my desktop PC hard drive officially died on me today (Mostly). So, uh, small anime hiatus for me. Gonna be getting a new PC sooner than I expected, then salvaging what I can from the old drive via Linux (Computer cannot find boot device, hoping I can at least salvage my wallpapers and avatars and games and stuff still on there, got some of it moved already, but not all).
Speaking of Shirokuma, I can never get it out of my mind that Shirokuma is Suzaku and Panda is Lelouch.
This is almost Blood-C levels of trolling if true. Hanada seemingly redeemed I guess. What the fuck.
The twist comes straight from the LN but Hanada did come up with the best thing about the show so far.
Pic when he does.

Fluff episode but with meaning this time!
Fluff episode but with meaning this time!
The beginning of the episode was kind of jarring with limbo-Rika talking directly with the audience but it did give a good exposition to which I question the purpose of the first arc... which was just dramatized exposition...
Anyways looks like this time loop/arc is going to be its own as Keichii has just changed a pivotal, though minuscule, moment in the progression of things. I'm betting that the reason Rika is going through the multiple time loops with Hanyu is due to Keichii's wish when he died back to the very first arc of the first season where he wanted 'someone' to find out why the murders are happening. In addition I'm still holding on to that the mysterious third group are religious fanatics but we'll see.
As for Hanyu I wonder where she actually came from. Was she always with Rika or did she appear when Rika started going through the repeated time loops?

Meganebu! is Megane: The Anime. It's also a better show.

Reasons for not liking DokiDoki aren't entirely aligned with other series problems. What was problematic in one series might not have been an issue in another.
But why is there excitement over a logo? I do not understand.
