Hahaha, yeah. I recall another example someone had to be warned about quickly on another forum which involved some hobo guy, I didn't see it before it got swapped out. I can understand why they wouldn't want hotlinking, even though those kinds of replacement images are kind of crazy.

Oh it's social mobile bullshit, that's even worse.
There's also this

Being social mobile games is why most of us don't talk about them, but with an anime coming we've decided to familiarise ourselves with them.
ゴジラ
A surprisingly dark and serious film, considering everything that came after it. The black-and-white format helps to hide a lot of the limitations of the special effects at that time, although nothing can hide the fakeness of those model airplanes. The slow and atmospheric buildup in the first third of the film before the reveal is an effective example of classic horror filmmaking. The scene where you finally see him feels very King Kong-ish. The prototypical Tokyo rampage was more disturbing than you'd expect, with very obvious nuclear parallels, in the aftermath especially. And as usual,
Oh, and dat main theme.
ガメラ
This, on the other hand, was freaking awful. I can't even begin to go into everything wrong with this movie. The plot makes no sense(why would the plane arm its nuke so that it would explode when it crashed? How did Tibby Sr. get stuck in the ice in the first place?). The characters are universally awful and annoying(freaking Kenny), and act in irrational ways. Apparently it's totally normal behavior for a reporter to creep on a female scientist to the point that he becomes a pyromaniac. Also, why didn't Kenny just die. And unlike ゴジラ, the applied phlebotinum is ludicrously unbelievable. I mean they really just had a
Did they have any idea how much power that would require? With that kind of force, you could just a make a much smaller projectile go supersonic and bore holes in him, LOL.
Also, why didn't Kenny just die.

rocket capable of lifting thousands and thousands of tons, with a cargo bay with thousands of feet of volume, and taking it to Mars?

Holy shit, Syoko is on shrooms. Seriously.
Im gonna have to agree with A huge Battleship.

Are they gonna have all of them in the anime? Wonder how they'll handle that.

Miyukichi belongs to everyone! Don't try to hog a Miyukichi!
OH MY.
Wait. Mofukichi finally appeared? YESSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Anime knows how to push all the buttons.
I didn't betray anything; those aren't fake-translated titles.
Still not romaji.

Aila is such a badass. Shes great already but still hasnt really shown up much yet.
Looks like Sei and Reiji are going to have some very insane competition. Some of them are just ridiculous. Man this is so much fun!
Next episode could be adorable from the previews.

It doesn't work when the romaji titles are the actual titles, LOL. And if you can't figure it out, at least googling it takes you to the right thing, unlike with the fake titles.
Then don't force it!
But forcing things is the ゴジラ way.
Also various doujin titles.
That article...does a remarkably bad job of actually showing what the comparisons are getting at.
From the article, you'd think it's just a bizarre superficial comparison of the visual layout of the scenes, but looking at the video at the bottom, the whole conversation the characters are having is very similar. Particularly the very end of the conversation, where both Kotori and some-Glee-girl put emphasis on the line "this is your costume", and immediately follow it up with a line about "It's when everyone is working together that [the team can really shine/a beautiful future will be waiting for us]". In the Japanese dub, the "It's when everyone is working together" part is phrased word-for-word identically.
I don't see Anzu. Your opinion is invalid.
I just looked her up. Why am I not surprised?

I am very disturbed in how Anzu can be an Idol. She's like a elementary student. Idolmaster has changed......though best girl is still the same:

You know kids in our countries can be fashion models, actors, singers while still in school. The trick is to still study in case you crash and burn so you still have qualifications to fall back on.
Glad you agree Haruka is the best girl.

Well yeah Makoto is GOAT but referring to new cinderella girl idols there are some standouts.

There's another girl who narrowly missed my cutoff with a similar punkish style to Syoko, but less extreme (in appearance and personality). I figured you'd probably appreciate her design:
The wiki has basic in-game quotes / introductions for the majority of the characters, so you can often make a fair guess about their personalities from those. There were a handful I couldn't get much of an idea about though so I kinda glossed over them (Noa being the most memorable case).
I know, right? She actually has a shot at best girl status, and she's popular enough that she may well feature in the anime in some form. Apparently she's seen as quite a tragic character.
There've been 3 major popularity polls ('elections'), so the popular characters are pretty well established and'll doubtlessly form most of the core cast. Some of the 2nd tier ones'll likely make occasional appearances. A lot of them probably won't feature at all, unless there's some brief scene where they have all the characters together.
This is where I'd :cnet, but she's generally pretty popular so I'm gonna assume there's more to her than that. Also 17 years old wat.

Yes Mirei is on my personal list. So cute!
Its going to be a fun show.

CUTEST GUNPLA BATTLE EVER. IM GONNA DIE.
China takes part in an all girls event and does pretty well. I want a figure of her Bear gunpla.
This episode contained no Aila sadly but a generous helping of Drills and ojou laugh so it was a nice consolation prize. This show is so much better than the vast majority of shows airing lately it aint even funny.

The Power Duo of Gundam Build Fighters and Log Horizon make Fall 2013 one the best seasons I've ever watched. It was just too good!

Child idols.
AnimeGAF something something pedos something something Ping Pong watchers.
It's really annoying, that one can think that little kids are cute, without being a pedophile - except for woman, because woman don't rape, of course.

Well someone need to make a LN about it , so we can "live the dream" when an anime adaptation is green lighted !.
*Sound of cajun wallet crying *
It's a strong part of the appeal.
Well this isn't bad, but i could have put 6 more girls in this.

Heartcatch Precure Episodes 5-47
This is definitely the most enjoyable show I've watched in a long time, I haven't marathoned a show this hard since Beelzebub and Ranma 1/2.
Each of the main Cures are awesome, the monsters of the week are equal parts cool and emotional, and the final stretch of episodes has been everything I could have hoped for.
Spoilers for the last 10 eps or so;
Definitely a great show, there were plenty of times I even almost teared up, like when
The movie takes place after the series ends, right?

Spoilers for the last 10 eps or so;
Watching Coppe roar in anger and attack Dune was BONE CHILLING, especially the way he fights against the Sunackies. And Marine's fight against Kumojacky was amazing, all her blows on him towards the end of their fight had impact, and Kumojacky certainly got his ass handed to him. Best girl and best Cure still the best. Moonlight's fight against Dark Precure and the revelation of Sabakuu's true identity being her father was shocking and cool as hell. They didn't even need their super forms throughout these eps, that could change based on what's gonna happen in the final two, though.
Definitely a great show, there were plenty of times I even almost teared up, like when
Moonlight's fairy dies or when Blossom/Tsubomi gives up, breaks down, and cries after seeing the world more or less end in front of them.

Crest of the Stars 5
When this episode followed the OP with a full three minutes and forty-five seconds of recap of the previous episode, I was prepared for the worst. Fortunately, there was nothing to fear in the end. The first real space battle of the series was handled exceptionally well.
Ship-to-ship space fights tend to be very fast paced, but Crest takes a different approach. The ships see each other well before they can engage, so a lot of care is taken to emphasize pre-engagement preparations, which also serves as a good opportunity to build personalities among the crew that had largely been ignored to this point.
Even when ships enter firing range, they seem to stay fairly distant from each other. But at that point the directing ratchets up the energy, moving quickly between crew members, firing guns, and outside shots of the results of their actions. It's an exciting, meaningful fight that made good use of what the prior episodes established.
I don't expect another climax like this one to come again in the near future, but I hope that this marks a turning point for the series in terms of the overall energy level of each episode.

We do see some ships explode, but the main feedback about the battle comes from closeups of the ship's UI.

I don't know if standing up with her sword drawn made her a more effective captain, but it certainly made her a more dramatic one.

That's because you morons spend 99% of time on content of episodic nature !
Humor in anime is usually hit and miss for me but this has been hitting the sweet spot pretty consistently. Vash and Milly crack me up. Hope they will shed more light on the past of the former soon. Even Bebop had the decency to go main plot in the 5th episode.

Ah but when Aila does start to show up later she shows up a lot. You will have no shortage of Aila soon enough!
But Akari is the first person you see in YuruYuri.
