What the heck is that gif from?
reverse image searching turned up nothing.
It's from an OVA called Arcade Gamer Fubuki.

Gintama.What Anime do you think has the most asspulls that come out of nowhere. Like for me it would be FairyTail because seriously every arc has an asspull. There are points where you cant even imagine how Hiro does this, he just probably loves trolling his fans. Though I still like FairyTail.
Gintama.
Looks like I'm going to have to watch this show now!
On Wikipedia.
Hidamari Sketch × ☆☆☆ 07-12
These episodes were soooogoooood. More Chika-chan, more Yoshinoya making apt observations. And some great gags and jokes.
Also lies.
Also this Hiro was probably one of the most adorable things in the entire series.
Well he added that last line after I posted so I thought he was talking about asspulls in general rather than power specific. Gintama does like to mess with the viewer with random narratives pulled out of nowhere..Really? I mean depending on what you define as an asspull I could see it. But Gintoki never gains any powers out of nowhere. You know he's a strong character from the get go. Bleach or Dragon Ball Z for me, assuming I'm understanding what you mean by asspull

How many waifus are in this show?

So this was the Azusa episode. She was quite lovely in it.

I can kinda agree despite my love to Gintama, I swear Gintoki always survive everytime he beaten up badly, some of the time felt unearned too.. I know its Shounen trope but still.
Btw talking about asspull, most of the stuff from JoJo is out from Araki ass.. He truly the king at pulling stuff from his bullshit lol.
This is the first shot in the movie. A bad sign.
Every time they bring up SV2 in the early going, I felt like they were trying to kick me in the junk. SV2 was so much more fun to be around than these two joyless detectives. Even when they do appear, the updated designs don't do anyone any favors.
What do these things have in common? They're in Tokyo!
if I could take just a moment to discuss what kind of show selector infected WIXOSS really is, Ipfhfhfffffffffhfhahahfhahahajhfahhahjahjfhhah I can't do it. No pics or webms this week. You can't encapsulate this episode's crazy in a cherrypicked sequence of images. It really, really is Meguca: The TCG: The Show. Oh man. For those of you not watching, just consider the following:
The premise of the show is that girls who play the TCG WIXOSS (and only girls, because boys are gross) will rarely pull a card that contains a sentient kawaii sprite creature thing called an LRIG. Possessing an LRIG turns the girl into a Selector, which means she's forcibly entered into a competition against all other Selectors with the victor becoming the Eternal Girl who can have any single wish granted. If a Selector loses three battles against another Selector, they cease to be a Selector and are out of the competition.
Ruko, the protagonist, becomes a Selector, but she's unique among Selectors because she has no wish. I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS THE DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC OF A CERTAIN FAMOUS PROTAGONIST. HUH. Her friend Yuzuki is also a Selector and wants to fuck her brother. They both befriend Hitoe, a shy girl whose wish is simply to make friends.
By episode five, Hitoe is happy. She says that her wish has already been granted without becoming the Eternal Girl because she befriended Ruko and Yuzuki. She had already lost two battles against Selectors, meaning she was only one loss away from elimination from the competition, but she doesn't really care because she doesn't need magic for her wish to be granted now. Hitoe's LRIG expresses vague concern at the beginning of the episode, telling Hitoe to get rid of her because "something bad will happen". No further explanation is provided. Later that day, Hitoe, Ruko, and Yuzuki agree to meet up for a WIXOSS tournament against non-Selectors. Ruko and Yuzuki are held up, and Hitoe waits alone.
Suddenly, Hitoe is ambushed by a mysterious figure and forced into a game of WIXOSS. She loses and ceases to be a Selector. Because she's vanished from the meeting spot, Ruko and Yuzuki begin to search around the neighborhood for her, finally finding her stumbling out of a tunnel with an empty expression. When they address her, she doesn't recognize them. When they touch her, it causes her physical pain.
Of course, Ruko and Yuzuki both immediately ask their LRIGs just what the fuck is going on here. The answer? "Oh, BY THE WAY. We neglected to tell you because LOL IDK, but IF YOU LOSE THREE TIMES, NOT ONLY ARE YOU NO LONGER A SELECTOR, YOUR WISH IS ANTI-GRANTED. You're not merely ineligible for your wish to be granted, but THE OPPOSITE OF YOUR WISH BECOMES REALITY. FOREVER. But it was just SOOOOOOOO HARD to tell you."
Examples are provided: if you wish to be rich and lose, you'll be poor for the rest of your life. If you wish to be able to play the piano, you'll lose your fingers. Because Hitoe's wish was to make friends, she'll never have another friend for the rest of her life, and if anyone tries to befriend her, she's automatically repulsed by pain. ahahahahahaha. Character who's happy that she won't be alone anymore only to be immediately taken out? NOPE, DOESN'T RING ANY BELLS.
So now, Yuzuki's brother will *gasp* never want to fuck her if she loses. Ruko actually tries to do what it took Meguca the whole series to do and declares that her wish is to undo the curse on Hitoe, but her LRIG immediately informs her that you can't do that because reasons.
Oh yeah, and there are two bitchy psycho fashion models named Akira and Iona who are incredibly strong players and Akira has had this weird sadistic stalker complex toward all of the protagonists and wants to defeat and humiliate them all because who knows.
The SHOCKU #gamechanger plot twist in this episode is such wonderfully fertile ground for batshit Okada drama that this isn't just about quietly enduring a weeby show to screencap some backgrounds. I want to see what happens now, because it's going to be one of those shows.
Hey Theo, not sure if you noticed, but when webms are embedded, the text within the url tags seems to disappear.
I also made this from another scene in episode 11. Kinda NSFW.Oh my, lol.

Yeah I don't use the extension. That's an interesting oversight though.Only if you're using the embedding extension!

So what happens if you say you wish to be poor, then proceed to lose?
When I fix it and work out how to get webm softsubs working right.I think this would benefit from the subtitles after the reveal. Still impressed though.
Patlabor WXIII
WXIII wasn't directed by Oshii, but instead by one Fumihiko Takayama, who over a decade earlier had directed the much-better-regarded Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket (Backlog starts next week on Tuesday! Be there!). And it's clear he feels an obligation to follow in the footsteps of Oshii's earlier work.
So what happens if you say you wish to be poor, then proceed to lose?
madp already saying the losing thing is hidden rules that the player don't ever know until feeling it though lolso fuck you anime logic you already fail with the new twist.how does the game even account for wishes? Is it a verbal statement you make to your shitty card? If so, why wouldn't you just do the opposite and lose on purpose? Is it something the card knows if you're bullshitting by looking into your heart? Then people 'with no wishes' wouldn't exist because we all have some desire, whether it's minimal. The card would look at that and take that.
madp already saying the losing thing is hidden rules that the player don't ever know until feeling it though lol
I was unaware of Takayama's involvement in War in the Pocket. That is... concerning to say the least. Here's to hoping he redeems himself!
You can't be Yu Gi Oh Wixoss. In fact in comparison, you are weak sauce.
Yay, more WIXOSS watchers!
...I hate you.
It's a little bit concerning, but there's a lot of time separating the two anime, and plenty of normally-good directors have had their fuckups in the past, Oshii included. I think that in this situation, he took on the task of making an Oshii-esque movie without really understanding how to put it all together, and so he wound up with something utterly empty. That shouldn't be a problem in 0080, so I'm optimistic based on the impressions of others.
I'm at work right now and don't have the box to hand, but I remember looking when it arrived and not seeing anything that looked like a traditional region symbol. I'll give it a more thorough check when I get home. Also I'd usually go on a google hunt for the answer but I'm kinda worried about stumbling across spoilers.
Yeah, I got it from RightStuf, but like MikeHattsu says I doubt the UK being a valid shipping destination means it'll definitely run here.
*nods*
It's so cringeworthy to me that it made me drop the show, at least for the time being. Not the only reason, but boy did it not help my enjoyment.
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita
I had this in the backlog since forever and decided to give it a look:
What... the hell... is this?
I have seen two episodes and it´s the most random stuff I have found in long time... I wonder if I should drop it before it affects my mental health but I'm curious.
Mushishi S1 4
Still very nice, I like how collected it´s Ginko, seems like a really interesting character. The pace is slow but it suit the series, really relaxing even if it deals with some serious issues. The art is great, I like how exuberant is the background.
Hunter X Hunter 127
After watching again 126 (and appreciate it even more), 127 it´s a nice warm up for what I assume it´s going to happen. This arc is going places.

Asspull as in power ups out of nowhere.
THE iDOLM@STER 08
So this was the Azusa episode. She was quite lovely in it.
And I can see why she's cute, she's almost like a lost puppy and how oblivious she is of her cuteness is in itself an enhancement to her cuteness. HOWEVER.
What REALLY stood out again with this episode was just how handsome and cute Makoto is. Like seriously how can she be the cutest while being the handsomest at the same time? IT SHOULD BE A CRIME. IT'S ATTEMPTED MURDER. YES I REALLY THINK SO MAKOTO! <3
Also look at this MAKOTO SAKUGA. Kakoiiiiiiiii.
So stronk. Nerf please
And incest. I'm terrified of ever living in Japan with a family. If my kids of opposite sex watch anime they'd start to think that having feelings for your siblings is common and maybe develop those feelings.
Recently, My Sister is Unusual 1 - Holy crap. How are shows like this even allowed on TV? Right out of the box with child nudity and weird ghost molestation.
I'm going to keep watching.
Looks like there is going to be a new Persona 4 anime based off Persona 4 Golden. Starts in July
Persona 4 The Golden Animation airing on July

Another Persona 4 animation with A-1 and Kishi? ARGH
