Dragon Route
Man walks into a tavern. He sports a great big bushy beard, a sword the size of himself, and a badass shield. His muscles are glistening with sweat, and he sits down to order a drink. He has a scottish accent.
"Ah if it ain't Ol' Beardly. You want the same as always"
"Aye that it is. Three full tankards of your raunchiest mead"
The men around him are shocked with awe at the manliness of this human being. A mere kid of twelve walks up to him.
"Mr. Beardly sir. You have a tale for us, in this small scottish town?"
"Aye that I do son. See this scar on my back?"
"Yes sir, I do!"
"Well you see son. I got that scar-"
he drinks a whole barrel of mead, throws the barrel into the air, cuts it with his sword and points at the air
"Fucking a drrrrrrrrrrrragon!"
The tavern is filled with cheers. Nothing manlier can be said.

The tavern looked at Beardly with disgust. He was shamed by the townsfolk, shaved as he didn't deserve such an epic beard and kicked out of town within hours,.
Either way it really doesnt matter does it?

Welp, just about everything is solved now, from whose committing to the murders, how they are doing it, and why they are doing it. However with only just halfway into the season I can pretty much tell this time loop/arc is going to end in tragedy despite all that positive buildup over the previous episodes.

Oishi getting sniped off at the end tells me that Rika, Keichii, Rena, Shion, Mion, and Satako are alone in this fight and the episode preview hints some badass fighting going to be going on (dearly hoping for Rena to bring out the machete again) but again with this time loop most likely ending in tragedy it will be most saddening/infuriating for Rika to repeat the next time loop with no progress after just informing her friends.

None of the following are spoilers, just machinations from my anus.
I have a theory that Masayoshi got fatally wounded in episode 7 and we are just seeing a dream of his as he dies. Yup... that's it.
I honestly think the show is winding up for another curve ball and it'll probably ice someone (or some people) to do so.

And Pokemon is just a dream of a vegetable-state adult Ash with all these explanations as to why shit doesn't change.
I've been calling that aspect of her out repeatedly. For all these characters have been saying about resolve, Ryuuko's fairly confused mission does seem petty by comparison. If it doesn't get acknowledged by the end of this arc, the writing is a great deal less intelligent than I've been giving it credit for.

Yes! Precure 5 GoGo! 38
Look at those eyebrows!
Another surprise! Why are they asking now about the fucking blue seed Milk planted.... over TWENTY EPISODES AGO! MAYBE THIRTY! Because Scumbag Syrup got some memories G!
Nozomi has been attempting to steal everyone's pairing buddy, because I guess Coco's nuts aren't enough for her! Or she's trying to let loose the heterosexuality that has been pent up for this particular season, as if the movie for her birthday wasn't enough.
And A new power up for Dream and Rose. DREAMING ROSES (I don't know the fucking name, I'm making a name joke).
Yes, clearly, I chose to watch this over Kill la Kill and SamFlam, but that's because I'm tired, and that was probably enough to make me get through this episode.
NEXT TIME, Karen cheating on Milk (or returning to her original lover who cheated on her with Nuts....)
And that this show reminded me of just how ugly this and the prequel is ugly.

Clearly the "Ash is in a coma" theory of our generation.
I haven't even watched the new Samumenco. I haven't watched any anime at all this week. Gonna have a ton to watch later today.

It's the Precure Difference
Some people like to think about factors beyond just 'her ears are so kawaii' and 'i can see her butt.'
and these factors can be deduced from a picture of character art how?
hipbabboom
Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Could it be a weird superficial sexual fetish they have with visual mediums? Being superficial, they never look to see what's inside the show and judge it based on its external artwork. The anime is never picked at recess because kids can be cruel. That cruelty never leaves them when they become adult and in high school, Kristie just wants to be friends and she loves you as a friend and feels really bad and because you love her, you tell her is ok even though I'm dying inside!

Having a lot of experience with Precure in general.
Granted, that being said... With Doki Doki designer doing Fresh previously.... it certainly isn't as good as Fresh as a fair warning to people.

Well this arc had ended like I predicted, but damn was it an exciting right to get here.
Well this arc had ended like I predicted, but damn was it an exciting right to get here.
Rena bringing out the machete was awesome but too bad she didn't kill anyone with it like I was hoping. The deaths of Shion and Satako were the most painful to see and I was surprised the spirits of the group were present before Rika before her death and in the limbo area after they all died.
Since they were all present in limbo I've a feeling in the next time loop they will have all their memories present. While I like this idea I feel it's a bit too 'happy' or 'positive' in that I believe the only ones who should remember are those that succumbed to the disease which are Rena, Keichii, and Shion (to an extent Mion too if you want).
Previews of the next arc is going to focus on Takano now. While I'm glad this will give a chance to explain her motives rather than leaving it as 'crazy woman' I hope in the end she dies (by Rena's machete of course) or atleast suffers somewhat and is not redeemed in anyway.

I hope the civilian forms for Cure Lovely and Princess don't suck though considering I don't like their Cure design as it is.
EDIT: In the meantime, I think about YPC5's pros and cons.... and how Smile has the EXACT OPPOSITE Pros and cons.

Well here comes Tanako's arc... well I guess I have to refer to her as Miyo now because, well things.

Child-abuse whooo! Didn't we cover this with Satako already? Oh well, I'm more interested in how Miyo changed from scared-as-shit/rebellious girl who engaged in escape plan to flee from child abuse household to revering the surname of her own abusers. Perhaps the lightning bolt right at the end means something? And I assume the one she calls grandfather is not of the Tanako surname.
Anyways in all the excitement I totally forgot about Hanyu (because let's face it all she did was whine to Rika). What exactly is her origins and why does she exist solely for Rika as a spirit? Preview to next ep seems to shed light on that.
Another thing is the time placement of this arc. While it is true that it is Miyo-centric and will explain her character/motives it also takes place as memories/dreams for present adult Miyo in the tragic/bad ending from the last arc, an extension. She already succeeded in commiting the mass genocide so... I guess what's left is burying Hinamizawa in cement?

Holy shit.
They clearly didn't plan for an encore, but they kind of knew the first pokemon theme song, so they played that but the lead singer didn't know the lyrics, so they crowd sourced the singing.
A dude in an ash costume stormed the stage and stole the mic and did an impromptu duet with the lead guitarist

Oh boy, all the Golden Time hate in this thread is making me morbidly curious. Looking forward to watching it this evening and finding out what has got everyone so angry.
Thanks to this I have realised that there were two shows I saw yesterday evening that featured antagonists in ballgags. Why is this a thing.
I mean, Gamagoori's didn't even stop him from talking.
Jouji is a joke. Like, that is the whole purpose of his existence, to be a complete farce. Personally I find him fairly amusing, but I agree that the show wouldn't really lose much of anything without him.
Best scene of entire series? Best scene of entire series.
Gamagoori literally called her out on it in this very episode. I appreciated that.
That said, it's hard to blame Ryuuko for not having some kind of lofty goal when everyone is refusing to tell her what the fuck is going on. Hopefully once we reach the mid-series turning point and Ryuuko gets the revelations she's after, they will give her the boost from simply cute-and-badass to cute-and-meaningfully-badass.

Since I might not have been clear (Gamagoori did acknowledge it), I mean that Ryuuko needs to recognize that it's holding her back, and take that next step. Senketsu keeps bailing her out and delaying this moment of realization.
Link to the deal for anyone interested.
Amusingly enough, it looks nice on their page what with the "save $33.41 (40% off)" -- but that's acting as if you would be subscribing on a month-to-month basis for 12 months; it's normally $60 anyway if you buy a year in bulk, so in practice it's only really saving you $10.
I guess it makes sense that they wouldn't do an all-access deal at that price like last year, so this time around the all-access deal is $70 for a year of anime+drama+manga, plus $15 worth of credit for their online store.
Watch it. NOW.

Welp looks like I was wrong on some things inferred form last episode, glad they were solved in this one though.
Right before I thought everything was solved more questions pop up!

'Kay looks like Miyo was dropped off at an abusive orphanage of sorts rather than at Tanako's place. Makes better sense that the idea I thought originally.
Anyways now Miyo's motivation is established which is carrying on her late adopted grandfather's legacy, but I wonder how this good-intentioned motivation resulted in mass genocide of a village.
Then we have Hanyu appear right when Miyo comes to Hinamizawa and its shrine only to her. Due to Hanyu's raging reaction... is this in fact the next time loop but only restarted a great time before than the previous time loops? If I recall Hanyu was as in the dark as Rika in trying to figure out whose behind the murders. And I thought Oyashiro was a doctor from way back then, not a little horned girl...

Redeem that shit at Gamestop or something.
I haven't seen this week's episode but if they're not gong to bother giving Ryuuko a reason or drive for any of her actions other than some bullshit reason that even she knows is bullshit then they need to kill her off. Flat out just write her out of the show. She loses, dies, and the main protagonist switches.
Heh. I think its overblown, but it really depends on what the ending really means. In any case it was hardly a surprise...it was obvious as anything that this was going to happen at some point. I'm just surprised it was accidental and not a deliberate scheme.

It's also interesting that the monsters don't even seem to do anything evil anymore at the end (they even bought the fucking apples), don't put up much of a fight, and are really quick at committing suicide.
I assume the plan is to ease Masayoshi into effectively killing innocent people/ monsters without thinking about it and ultimately corrupting him.

Man the price is nice, but I don't know if I want to do this. Their web player has been absolute shit for so long now. Yesterday, when I tried watching Golden Time, anything over SD quality wouldn't load, not even 480p. Though maybe that was a sign for me not to watch it since Ghost Banri sucks. Not to mention it tends to stutter like hell, and mid episode freezes. Bleh.
I agree but I'm not dropping this
