Well, this was a nice episode ...
I was hoping that the light would lead to a very nice Harem ending and then ...
The reveal happenned.. i'm not surprised by the reveal i just expected something else. but it does explain the previous clues presented. The problem is HOW DO WE SOLVE THIS MESS in 1 episode ? because i want a happy ending and i WON'T FORGIVE THIS ANIME if i don't get one.

hah, yeah, when watching it and seeing the cringing complaints I was wondering how young those that felt that way usually were. Once one's a little bit older, there's all sorts of shit you look back on and wonder "Why the hell did I do that?"
I guess both points of view kind of require a bit too much extrapolation to reach any sort of conclusion on that point.
Well yeah, it's like Charlie Brown and the football. Some people really like to laugh at an inevitable eternal recurrence of failure, others don't. I just happen to fall in the latter group.

PIKACHU GOT ABSOLUTELY #REKT
Ash what the fuck were you thinking sending him to face off against that scary Mega Lucario?
He's lucky the Poke Center is hax or else things would have ended up a whole lot worse.

Exactly. I used to feel that way even to the point of being a dumb white knight type (id probably be wearing a fedora and everything) until I figured out how I wasnt accomplishing anything by resenting others or forcing myself to be a hero. It does turn out that I have natural love and compassion for people like my mother but its not for selfish gain.
I wasnt laughing at it. I was just amazed how well it pointed out my personality quirks and those of others I know. It was introspective and made me feel good.

I'm mildly upset that he chose to do that over the Dragonslayer, which is way bigger and more impressive

That was pretty informative on how you make swords these days i learned more on sword during those 6 mins than during all my time watching the "Sacred blacksmith"
j/k
Actions perfectly justified then. ;p
Hime really is the big bad after all! That would actually be kind of a cool twist.
Yeah, I was just wondering how close Iona and Hime maybe were, if at all.
I wasn't saying you were laughing at it; that was part of my response to Narag.

Great episode, lots of sakuga. But I'm wondering how this series is going to wrap up now and the preview has me really intrigued.

Is this where we share our 'what the fuck was I thinking' moments?
Because thinking back on it I was a god damn idiot in high school

I decided to take it one step further and calculate Uguu per minute (UPM) for the time Ayu is on screen.

So Yuuichi is living with a cousin who needs 20 bazillion alarms but still fails to wake up and manages to sleep standing. He also has a knack for getting lost and meeting several different girls but failing to do any formal introductions. We also get some hint of his past that sounds very similar to Nisekoi. Finally we have an ending where a mysterious cloaked girl socks him one (or tries to) and also makes strange noises. (Auu~!)
Porter-kun still doesn't have a name and reminds me strongly of Sunohara. He even looks similar. I'm assuming Key has a habit of making silly characters who serves as everyone's punching bag.

I was an idiot only in elementary school ...A big bad series of incidents made me wise up very quickly ..i still managed to keep A close friend i could count on across the years and teh schools , without him i guess i would have ended differently .
I am embarrassed by many of the dumb things I did in the past. However, it makes me who I am today so I don't necessarily regret it. It just makes my face red and/or I facepalm.

Its quite alright. I just wanted to show that a shitty early life doesnt have to govern a persons attitude. Even to this day when I go home dad always finds a way to blame me or tell me im failing or I could be better or I cant do anything right. I fight even now. My whole family does.

When Yamada throws out an unheard name, you get nervous. She just might have adopted a "pet".

He , Next season is focused ( the next arc is ) on Issei , Koneko , saji , ASIA ( asia is in Caps because well ), Akeno will get her time to shine EVEN more in a Season 4 i guess.
If they adapt some side stories , you will get however an AWESOME Akeno side story ...

Aye, but once it starts airing I'm not going to even speak one positive word of it around here because it'll just bring down another torrent of mockery and hate, and we're going to get enough of that already.

I'm hyped to see what Kirito-kun will do for his country. But I doubt he'll beat onii-sama on gary stu levels, so that entertainment is almost gone.

I survived a whooooole season of SAO without Miyukichi so I'm sure she can make this one good.

What an wonderfully amazing ep. I suppose I should have realized it given all the development everyone else received but still had written Kazama off as mostly this straightforward "monster" given how he consumed the sport. Never really thought he needed a hero to appear for him too and instead thought Peco was going to play the role of dragonslayer to get to Smile to prevent him from becoming another Kazama.
It was so nice to see him elevate Kazama instead and teach him how fly as it were. Something similar happened with Kong that didn't click with me as the hero's influence initially, namely when Peco thanked Kong for giving him the drive to get back to where he was. I like to think that's why Kong was able to shake the loss off so easily and get back to his teammates, realizing he wasn't going to ever be the best but that his real joy would be found in coaching/mentoring other players to make them better.

Kanon and Clannad are probably the two Key shows that have the most in common.

i certainly am ..however i'm not a fan of gun gale even if it was ok , i'm more intrested in what alfheim they will adapt since the character will actually have time to explore that world instead of rushing through it.
See "mother rosario"
I'll just see how bad the mockery will get as well as the nitpicking .. i plan to give my impressions on each episode HERE, that will not affect me
sure. I only hated the 2nd Arc for SAO.
hey, there's always the outside chance it'll be okay! shows have escaped their poisonous legacy before

mai waifu goes to the backburner for the new heroine. It's officially shit for me before it began, but unlike many here I'll still try to enjoy it in my own way instead of mocking everything about it.

So Yuuichi being the good guy he is brings home the girl who attacks him out of the blue by carrying her on his back. She then goes on to steal his food and smack him any time she is given the chance. Good decision making there Yuuichi! He gets his payback eventually though.
Both hostile girl and Ayu can't seem to remember something that's important to them. I've seen amnesia a lot in anime but two girls with it? Finally the last scene is a girl with a sword standing in the middle of the school hallway in the dead of night... wtf?

I had to play catch up to thread because I switched from the treehouse live to WC hype, I'm still behind on some animes.
I played so much Lufia when I was smaller that a friend of my brother started calling me "Lufia Lufia Lufia". But I can't seem to remember that much about the game, only that I stopped at some puzzle the first time and got back to it later and cleared it in the first try, I really liked Tia (;___
and about the end it came as a susprise because I was playing Lufia II and my brother was playing the first one.I didn't know about the talk about them coming to the VC, I would get it to play again, because I had to rent it when I was small and now I don't have a way to play them, I just listen to some of the music from the game on youtube from time to time.

Classic drama before the finale as well as the bad guy doing some bad guys things but not really.
It was "ok" , if anything the "normal chested" maid sister is certainly the most intresting character of the whole show by a WIDE MARGIN

It's worse than this, think with me...
Mary's mother lived in the tower with her father and didn't go out...she has no way to meet anyone but her own father...so the only obvious choice is...

Great posts cajunator.
Watamote's cool since it shows a blunt and unfiltered look at the thought processes and awkward struggles of some fairly standard adolescent behavior. All this without asking the viewer to judge or "identify" with the character. It's not going to be everyone's ideal for entertainment, but I can't think of a quicker way to ruin Watamote than to add a moral message or give Tomoko her redemption or comeuppance or whatever.

Watamote 06-07
Honestly, the issue I have with Watamote that makes me cringe is that... I have a terrible habit of feeling second-hand embarrassment for characters most of the time. Watamote just triggers that A LOT for me. It's not really hitting close to home, it's just I feel bad for Tomoko. Nothing ever really works out for her (either because she sabotages herself or just plain bad luck).

Hey, this was great. Probably SHAFT's warmest show. Nearly teared up during the finale, but it was just like SHAFT to put an egregious pantyshot into the series' most moving scene
