I would prefer that than the trainwreck that will happen soon.

But at the start of the first series it was introduced as a way to combine their powers and to get +1 magic level. Since then its powers have fluctuated drastically as well as its concept.
(IE you may well be right but this doesn't make it consistent)
I'm surprised Rika's always been awesome.
Next episode is tomorrow. Hopefully. My dark busy schedule is looming menacing once more...
That was when they had to worry about power levels. After hitting level cap the arrangement changed.

Kill la Kill 9
Lost it when Ira had the ball in his mouth.
That's a genuine masochist for ya.
Ira's past with him not kneeling to Satsuki was done well. That said, it made the outcome of the battle even more displeasing since Ira is just a much more likable character than Ryuko.

That was very nice. I don't remember well, but I was full of the lullaby at some point in sharp, and I think
Doremi's mother played it on the piano and everything was all right again,
Hmm, frog song.

Alright, Super Zelda 3D Between Worlds is now done with (but not Hero mode)
Time to fix the anime time now!

As long as you don't think Space Dandy will cure cancer, you're probably good.
Actually I'm not that hyped for Space Dandy. Looking forward to it, but I probably won't get legitimately hyped until right before the season starts, like with KLK.

Space Dandy is getting less hype than Kill La Kill did.
Probably for the best.

My heart bleeds for you. (I knew you would provide some sarcastic comment the moment I linked the article in my post, by the way.)
Would you have less of an issue with them if they at least stopped watermarking?
Hurray, no breaks in my watching of GoGo!
...er, um, additional breaks, beyond the entire "My hard drive has 300 some bad sectors and is going to die but the computer is 6 years old so I'm just replacing the whole thing anyway" break. And watching stuff on my laptop just isn't as fun.

I too hate Hard Drive failures *shakes fist at one I bought a few months ago*
At least you don't have to replace parts on the laptop. The main thing keeping me from replacing my old iBook's hard drive is the simple fact that you had to disassemble the entire thing before you get to the HD bay.

Monogatari Second Season - 22
Master negociator kaiki at work... and that was just a start of things to come.
The music they used in this season during the various dialogs were fantastic trully... Gotta need the OST

Monogatari SS 22 (Koimonogatari 2)
gais I love this so muuuuuuuuuch
Kaiki da bes. Nadeko da bes. Kaiki and Nadeko da bes. Can we just have, like, a whole Kaiki and Nadeko spinoff series please? I'm glad SHAFT seem to have deliberately left plenty of episodes to do this arc justice (plus having no OP for the second arc in a row, which usually would make me mad, but if it's for the sake of giving this arc moar screentime I really can't complain).
Kaiki's "civilian look" was something I couldn't quite picture how it would work when I read about it in the novel, but they nailed it pretty well here. Still very much Kaiki, yet...not. Together with his super-smooth
(it was really fun watching him put on that act), the show has really built up the whole feeling of his professionality in the conman business. I love it. Oh, and what a godly line to end the episode on. Delivery 10/10, somebody give Miki Shin'ichiro a medal.
And then Nadeko. Adorable would be putting it lightly. If cuteness is a character flaw, then she really is so far gone as to be beyond recovery at this point, because even with all her creepy talk and inhuman-ness, it's like omigod I just want to hug her ow fuck the snakes are all biting me GET THEM OFF HAAAAAAAALP
Really gotta finish reading the novel soon because this shit is so good and I just know there's some kind of evil twist lying in wait. Also I want to find out
already >.>
Oh, and dat end card was amazing and caught me completely off guard. BOOM OSHINO AND NADEKO. That pairing makes no sense yet somehow I want to see a spinoff with those two now too. Maybe Oshino, Kaiki and Nadeko could be an amazing ghost busting trio or something I don't even know. It would be fucking awesome, trust me.

brog is awesome, great episode, and now technically, ippo has lost 2 times even though it was unofficial.

Hito, did you hear the Drama CDs of the first seasons of Ojamajo? In the sharp one there's a story for each* one, on why they consider Pop as a Imouto. A feast to the ears I say.
*Pop is already Doremi Imouto, so no story to her.
I've listened to a bunch of them but not all of it. Hazuki as a wrestler is a bit out there, to say the least!

The fact that his look change so much is probably why he can wonder in the city without much trouble .. it's really so much different , you won't be able to notice unless you're one of the people who trully know him. NOtice how he tries to put his air back at some point ? that's the whole difference ...and it works.
You do need help.
i have no idea how they will adapt this and at what pace , but you have like maybe 1 or 2 eps at best untill you'll learn about it ... If you don't want to get caught up by the anime you better start reading
Oshino & nadeko are opposites on some poinst and competiting on other points .. i don't think it's possible for the 2 to work together.
Unless doujins & comiket.
Oh yeah, slightly belated response but this post reminded me, for some reason the GoGo OP is the only Precure OP that's in the Band Bros P online catalogue right now. I have no idea why someone would go to the lengths to create that one when more obvious options like the Max Heart OP are still missing, but I guess the social rhythm game scene works in bizarre ways.
Either way, it's fun to play.
EDIT: Oh, and I just looked at the catalogue and somebody just added Staple Stable. Much appreciated (and quite appropriate since we're ostensibly in a Hitagi arc right now), but there are better Monogatari OPs that aren't covered yet. Step up your game, master song creator dudes!

Went in without knowing anything. Feels like a really pretty henneko without all the fanservice.
MC is a little bland but he seems like he's supposed to be more of a cypher for the viewer.
Pink hair clip is a hilarious look and suddenly a lot more things make sense to me.

Well, I'm about 80% of the way through the novel right now and Kaiki still has not deigned to inform the reader
what was in the fucking closet
Either way, I'm quite sure I'll have finished the novel before next week's episode, so nothing to worry about on that front =p
fun fact: "Aguri" is apparently an obsolete historical name that Japanese parents would name a daughter if they already had several daughters but wanted a son. I have no idea if this will actually tie into anything, but it's worth keeping in mind given that it's a nonexistent naming practice in the modern era.

you had to be ready for that when you're having kaiki as narrator.

I think I recall this.
I was just asking because I jumped the gun immediately and thought it meant Mana was adopted, but I had to sit back down and reread it before moving on.
Also dat Pixy Misa. Was considering using her as an avatar back then.
Hajime no Ippo: Rising 9
DAT sparring! Fucking Volg man1
First come, first served!
He can always join in as Love Me Eimi if he wants.
True, but then he'd have to give up Onpu.
Funnily enough, I just watched the first ep of this yesterday cause a friend of mine really liked it. Was alright. Cute, but has some of the same KyoAni problems I have with Clannad (and the first episode of KnK but that's all I saw so I don't count it).

I didn't spend an entire night going through the anime songs in the site, I swear! I just need to remember I don't have more space in the fridge of my japanese 3DS.
Got to hear some old ass shit.
With Kaiki as narrator, I'm ready for pretty much anything up to and including everything that has happened in the entire book being a complete fabrication that Kaiki made up to amuse himself while he was taking a cold bath to cool off in the summer heat twenty years after all the other characters died in a freak accident involving giant piranhas.
But I still probably won't be ready for whatever does happen.
KirbYuuYuu

Pretty much.
I put too much effort into getting Onpu just right, I would be sad to give her up now.
KirbYuuYuu
Member
;-;. I couldn't find one either for you sadly.
Although.... considering my yelling about in how the fanbase apparently had AikoxOnpu, and how I shoot for DoremixOnpu, our interactions certainly backed up their fanon.
this was the terrible realization.
Maybe if I interact with gashikunFLCL more, it'll justify my mindset.

Urara finally gets to achieve her dream! And then uses her One Free Syrup Ride coupon.
Euphimisms ensue!
I can't help but feel that this is what the Urashiro doujin was actually about. Too bad there's no translation... or there is, but I didn't look hard enough.

I guess before moving onto episode 41, something hit me, but it might be a bit off based.
Okay, for me, it seems like the Yellow Mahou Shoujo tend to be the most likely to have a dramatic personality shift, and may possible still retain their debuting personality.
Thought about this because Urara was a mini-Nozomi after joining the cast. And then there's Yayoi... and Pixy Misa.... and Momoko.... and I don't know if Minako counts for this one.

Ohh dear, this just got way more harem-y than what I was ready for. Already anticipating getting burned.
Kinda hilarious how straight they represent the cat during closeups.
Scene with Rikka's sister and the voice recording was perfect.
Dug the fight scene, brought me back to elementary school watching in horror as kids fought out dragon ball battles.

I call hax on that teleportation bullshit.
Of course the guy with a picture of his family in the cockpit bites it.
Every part of this battle was awesome, except for Yuki getting turned into a damsel in distress. At least it prompted Yurisha's miraculous recovery somehow.
