Everytime I remind myself about how masterful Hyouka is I have hope about anime being saved.
And then I remember this
*cocks gun*
FUCK THE PAIN AWAY
*inserts in mouth*
FUH HE HAI AWAY

Well alright then.
Well alright then.
Then what was that after the credits? Maybe I'm just confused and it's like how S1 of Jojo ended with a second of part 3
Edit:
Admittingly I skipped the credits and went to the end slate. Yeah I don't know after looking at the credits.

I must be desensitized because it seems really friggin civil to me. I guess it's just refreshing to see an anime OT thread that doesn't have posters accusing others of being pedophiles.
WOOP WOOP
Just the sheer amount of hyperbole (among the few good posters in there that elaborate) in there is enough to scare me away from even trying to discuss with anyone in there.

Is it over? Is it finally over?
Nope. Still have one more to go....

Threads like that (in general) always seem to work on a curve, peaking at max stupidity and civli discussions no one remembers happening on the back end.
Unfortunately not.

This is by far my favorite episode so far. The awkwardness at the party contrasted with Yuuichi and porter-kun's dance was great. The sisters finally resolve their issues with one another and Yuuichi
Shiori's account of her depression was really well done and I felt I could relate to her in some way. However,
Someone had to say it, thank you porter-kun.

finally gets a kiss.
the way she tells Yuuichi to stay there and then vanishes was not cool. If you're going to leave just say so.

This guy is criminally underused. I wish there was more of him.

I always admit to loving anime. It has had positive effects on my life.
I loved those
Some studio that only has the talent to draw backgrounds
Pretty sure it is over.
Congrats. Rest of the season is ok. Just hurry up and get to Disappearance movie.

I am actually watching it in chronological order just as advised by Woofington a few months back. So I have the rest of this season and a few episodes left in the first season.
People liking anime? That's unheard of! Everyone here hates anime. It has brought the world nothing but pain and misery.
And hours upon hours of fap material.
I thought as much. Now I'm left confused, alone, unfulfilled, and oddly satisfied.
Well, here's hoping the light novels get translated one day
Anime changed my life in all sorts of positive ways

Well Shiori just kind of drops off the face of the earth and gets one brief mention that she is okay. His cousin also hinted that she may have been interested in him when they were children (I know she is a route in the VN, I hope they don't go there in the anime).
A lot of flashbacks during this episode between Ayu and Yuuichi. They both seem to be remembering their childhood together as they spend more time with each other. Ayu finally makes a move on Yuuichi and now the harem ends (maybe?).

Ahahah. Dr. Mario nostalgia. I need to watch this anime.
Yes its in my favorites
And then 5 minutes passed like it was nothing to me.
It was a weird route to me in the VN. I did however like one scene that didn't make it into the anime though. And no, it wasn't an H scene lol
Listened to this for hours already and I dont even like the show.
New Dominion Tank Police-1
http://a.pomf.se/pzeytm.webm
So this episode seems slightly better animated than the stuff in Dominion but in a different sort of way. Dominion had these longer sakuga cuts but here it feels like the episode as a whole is just better animated. Some of the tank movements are smoother and more detailed. There is a bigger element of strategy in the tank battle stuff compared to fighting in Dominion.

All in all, I'm liking it so far as it seems to be a tighter and more detailed version of the original OVA series.
Bonaparte's back and he means business. So seems like the show got an overhaul compared to regular Dominion Tank Police. Different art style, different character designs, music sounds better despite same composer, and the tone is more serious. Wow, so I expected some changes but yea this really does feel like a better version of the previous series of OVAs.
So first things first; they changed the design of my waifu, Not-Noa, to something more 80's-ish. That's kinda surprising considering this came out in the 90's and the original series came out in the 80's. Still Leona in her combat uniform reminds me of the hairband hairstyle exercise stuff from way back when. She looks wilder and really different compared to her older design which as you can tell from my jokes, reminded me of Noa Izumi's design in the Patlabor TV series. She definitely looks more fierce and there is more of an emphasis on her canines giver her a bestial appearance at times. Tom Sellick and the other characters look the same for the most part.
One area that seemingly got a boost is the background art. There were some good shots in the prior OVA series but it's sort of taken to a different level in this. The background art also helps with the atmosphere, which is much more consistent here than in regular Dominion.
So the story here is somewhat darker than the stuff in Dominion but it actually fits for the most part as the show isn't as 'jokey' as Dominion and it's not as meandering as the later shit in Dominion. The comedy is more toned down compared to Dominion and due to that, the dramatic elements mesh better, so far anyway.
Hey look, a Tachikoma.
The biggest area of improvement for me though was the OST. The original was fine in a midi sort of way but here we get full electric guitar riffs which are prominent through the episode and Flight of the Valkyries thrown in. The OST has a much stronger presence here compared to Dominion. I also vastly like the new OP over the old one in Dominion.

Is the show bad or something? Because I kind of want to watch it.

I'm pretty sure when peaches are used as a euphemism, it's generally for hometown rather than life.
Oh I wouldn’t call it bad, it just bored me. A lot of people like it for its healing atmosphere and otherwise it’s your usual cute girls doing cute things comedy, so if you generally enjoy those, you'll probably like this as well.
No its very very good
I assumed the post credits bit was teasing an OVA.

It was super bad. I actually agree with Jarmel.
Don't worry Nafe is Korbo. She could never betray us like this!

AOTS, possible AOTY
(though I loved the Mushishi OVA, it's a contender)
Now that it has finished, I have to say that there is a flaw in the series imo, and it's how Peco super talent seemed appear out of left field from the viewer's pov. His talent reappeared and powered up when he was training in the athletics center as that part was mostly skipped, they just jumping to the tourney when we saw the results, that also didn't help to understand the change of skill in the character.
