That's age discrimination! If a 9 year old girl wants to lead a revolt against corrupt tyrant heroes, who are we to say no?

I think it was my favourite anime this season as well as better than KLK.

We start yet another arc with no downtime, as Yusuke leaves Keiko behind again because he needed to do "shopping".
Our two demons Hiei and Kurama return, providing a contrast with bishi demons, and a couple of thugs.

So...Charlotte, the new Jun project.
I've only seen a few things Jun has done and all based on VNs. Based on the advert this is a new original thing not VN based. Has he done stuff like this before? I take it they drown in the same themes that all his VN work seems to be all about?

Please don't let Maki be the first Sohoku to drop.
2 straight episodes and I've been forced to watch my favorites fall first.
Last week was already hard with Arakita.
And now I just finished watching Andy and Frank's final moment as well.

Andy and Frank will be dearly missed. If Maki drops next episode I'll be sad, he's one of my favorite favorite characters. Sho!
Yowamushi Pedal is quickly becoming one of my favorite anime in recent memory. All the characters are fantastic and the racing if great too. I never thought I would enjoy a bicycle anime so much haha.

Slow talky in-between-action episode.
We are going to have the sex scene already? :P
I still laugh when I see her in her "casual" clothes for staying at home.
Christ.
And more discussion about ideals. It was a bit confusing, messy talk to be honest. Basically Archer defend concrete ideals with something or someone behind them, but not ideals for ideal's sake and ideals borrowed from other people. Which is a bit silly as most ideals are borrowed from others, fathers, teachers, friends, society at big, etc.
Mushishi S2 22
And the story of the tree continues...
Not the best Mushishi episode, but it was ok. The mushi itself was cool, migrating from tree to tree through a host.
Poor tree ¬¬. The old lady at the end was a nice touch

The MC wasn't weak at magic, he , surprise surprise, was super powerful but he had his powers dormant until now.

I thought it was easy and convenient how he came to terms to his new disability. Easy, when in exchange you basically win superpowers that makes the entire village love you!

This episode felt shorter than usual. Kuwabara has some new trick that I'm now recalling again.
Shame he's such a dumb

Eh, Shirou "talent" is just ordinary, the way he use it is not though.
I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, but something tells me they're not gonna let a nine year old smoke a pipe...
Did she even have it in 2008?
Angel Beats was an original anime as well. That wasn't quite like his games, but it did touch on some similar themes, yes. Not sure what to expect out of Charlotte.

He seemed to be on par or maybe even better than the guy that beat Saber on melee.
Call it talent or skill or whatever, that seems pretty powerful to me.

Her casual clothes look a lot like her regular school clothes, but I guess Shirou isn't genre savvy enough to see thigh high socks all the time and not care.
The guy that beat Saber up doesn't have any powers. He just knows Karate and Caster fed him magic to make him have super punches.

Lupin III: Daisuke Jigen's Gravestone
Hello. I don't know shit about Lupin the Third. Except this
Despite that, I found this a good watch, nicely animated, great style and music with amazing direction. The bit in the middle with Fujiko was a bit...unnecessary, I guess. It is a bit refreshing to see something so uncensored, with headshots and bullet wounds being not being hidden behind censors, or even hidden at all.
Who was that short guy at the end though? I never watched The Woman Called Fujiko Mine so I just assumed he was from that, or he's some villain character from the series at large. And is the last scene supposed to lead into the new series or set up a sequel, or is it just the Lupin hunting detective guy who's name I don't know making a cameo?
This does sufficiently make me want to see the new series. Might check out some other Lupin stuff sometime.

I'm referring to you implying Shirou had massive hidden chakra like Naruto or something, potent latent talent, he not.. however yes he pretty nasty with his unorthodox use of magic.
Like that glasses dude.. he can caught you off guard, but gonna got rekt'd in 2nd meeting.

What about his use/practice of magic has to do with spoiler?
I know which spoiler that you mean, don't say.. but its nothing to do with that.
For example Kiritsugu know little about time manipulation from principle of flower drug or something.

AnimeGAF, I don't understand peoples hate toward anime, or rather, the people who enjoy it. I was hanging out at my friends birthday party, just now, talking to a group of people. The subject of anime came up, my friend watches mainstream shows, so he got to talking about AoT. Anyway, the people in the group were trash talking individuals who watch it. Saying things like it's for, "Pedophiles," "Losers," etc. I was upset, I spoke out and told them flat out that they are wrong, that you can't generalize like that and that I'm a big anime fan, so they are labeling me with those titles. Needless to say I got into a huge debate. It was frustrating. Ughh, why do others care so much what others choose to do with their own damn time?

I love character design like in Zvezda so this is something Im looking forward to checking out. Also helps to sell me a figurine too
Yowamushi Pedal ep 2
Imaizumi da god! jesus this guy is fast! can't wait to see all the serious races
Sakamichi has cray resistance going up in a hill in a common bike is crazy painful and He was doing that since fourth grade?
Inou Battle ep 6
Sayumi should use that hairstyle with the glasses all the time.
Goddess
And Mirei appeared for like 5 seconds
hnnnnnnnngh I love that episode
Yessssssss more of my favorite abomination
I dunno about the CUTEST but its up there. Neko sensei is easily my favorite character. The show occasionally feels almost ikuhara to me, but its pretty different overall.
Inou Battle ep 6
I share the sentiment.
Damn Hatoko exploded in this episode, I wasn't expecting that to happened at all, but hopefully it will give Andou some reality check, even if he keeps being a chuuni he needs to understand better the people around him and not force them in his hallucinations.
And what the hell did Kiryu at the end?
Definitely the best episode so far.
I loved that too. Hatoka brought him as reckoning. It was beautiful!
I second this suggestion. Cromartie is legit. And it has Freddie Mercury in it!

Humans are tribal. That's pretty much it. And tribes based on media tastes has long been a thing.

Same root reason as console wars and other nerd clique hierachy bullshit that keeps happening
MIND YOU I understand why, I have a completely irrational hatred of Sword Art Online (even beyond the legitimate complaints about s1) and I can't believe people like it at all... but I wouldn't, you know, call 'em pedofiles or something
also I don't realy understand how AoT could be related in any way to pedofiles. It's not some moe-stuff where everyone looks 12 or something

What?
alpha and beta
The wider perception of anime is pretty negative— and it's admittedly not unearned. The titles people hoist up and praise are generally brainless dreck with a focus on pandering and, as a result, the niche medium they fall under pays the price. It also doesn't help that western anime fans do tend to be socially inept and weird. Outside of my close group of friends, I very rarely meet an anime fan who's just a reasonable person. They substitute anime— a hobby— with their identity, and become an awkward weaboo.
That being said, if you're speaking to someone who's only offense is that it's for pedophiles and losers, I mean, why talk to them? They don't sound like they actually care who it's for, they're just tossing a blanket statement on something they've seen and decided upon. People like that probably aren't worth the time because they don't care and really neither should you. Why bother?
Hahahaha
Though jokey, theres truth there in terms of the tribalism and prejudices of people.

I don't think the way he uses his skills is poor, just how he got them.
it's more a result of needing some way of powering Shirou, but just... bleh. though if the alternative is Fate route Shirou who is literally worthless until Nasu apparently wrote himself into a corner and pulls some deus ex machina crap.
also one time my friends and I were hanging out with one my friend's roommates who pulled the "anime is for losers lolol" thing. of course we all watch anime and had a good laugh about it later. when people say stuff like that it's best to ignore them.

Yeah, I can see that, I personally do not like sweeping generalizations. I was trying to have a discussion and saying that it is not fair to make a statements such as that, but they were being ignorant. I thought I could have a rational discussion, that was not the case however. I was also mildly insulted, which is one reason I felt compelled to engage in discussion. Trust me, if people are not willing to listen, I leave, and I did. I find no point in wasting my breath.
Though jokey, theres truth there.
Lol, Everything leads to furry.
