I'd like to say a brief word of Love Live S2 Episode 7. Well since the episode is a week old discussing this out in the open shouldn't be a problem now. Am I the only one who finds storylines where the character is supposedly overweight and yet looks no different from before a bit annoying. Especially when said characters could probably afford to pudge up a little bit anyway. No wonder we suffer from a skeletonial society.

Having not started S2 I don't know the context of this, but its not like a little extra weight would be easy to draw or readily apparent when viewed with clothes on. Hell, I was referred to as "lean" by my trainer even when I carried a 26% bodyfat. I dropped down to 19% (a 20lb change) and its barely noticeable just by looking.

The alternative I guess is to go full-Chihayafuru Shinobu-style.

The ghost of Hix?

The Full Frontal to Hix's Char.

I can't say I approve but it's your viewing choice I guess...

Don't you think all the people look squished, though? Like they're wider than they're supposed to be?

(also good lord never google this series at work, I had no idea the manga skirted the bounds of pornography)

I look back at my pics and kinda notice it with close ups

But it never dawned on me that I was watching it stretched lol, it looks normal in normal scenes

also damn wtf at those manga pics lol

Hey guys, I just started watching Tasogare Otome x Amnesia:

http://myanimelist.net/anime/12445/Tasogare_Otome_x_Amnesia

Loved the first episode. However, I have family that has been bugging me to start them on a new Anime series. Usually I'll watch a series first, and then show it to them after I know it's I. A good story. II. It doesn't have anything too weird (fan service etc.) But it's Memorials Day, and my family wants to spend the day watching Anime (lol I know, they are weird).

Does this anime have any fan service or anything that would be embarrassing to show?
 
I can't do stretched anime. If the cowboy bebop blu ray can't do wide aspect without stretching then I'll watch it in black bars mode.

It has a tiny bit. It's a very sweet romance story but yeah not something you would watch with family. Maybe try something else. Anything in particular you're looking for we could give recommendations.
 
One Week Friends 8

Ok, this has turned into a very mediocre series. With time, the moe and sweetness factor has turned from adorable to tiring. The awkwardness of both main characters isn't endearing at this point, their innocence reaches retarded levels. It seems next episode will have more drama, pity that the last two has made me not care about them.

Eh. I've shown them all the Ghibli films. Cowboy Beebop. Shingeki No Kyjojin. Golden Time. Toradora. All the films by Makoto Shinkai and Mamoru Hosoda. They even liked Nisekoi (lol which is a Harem. Although its fan service wasn't that heavy, and I would fast forward some parts). I'm sure I'm missing some.

To be clear, my family is all adults. I just don't want to have that awkward moment where i explain to them fan service. Maybe I'll just go with Samurai Champloo. They haven't seen that one yet.

Or you can go all out and show them Fate/Zero which has no fan service whatsoever.

Haven't seen that one yet myself. Looks awesome!

Edit: I'll probably just settle between these two. Well probably end up watching both. I can't thank you guys enough for your help! Saved me from some awkwardness plus they now have two really good shows to watch.

Wish I could do something for you guys. Seriously you are the nicest group of people. :)

Huh, apparently one of the two girls that make up ClariS is leaving the duo to focus on her education.

edit clarification: I mean, ClariS hasn't been disbanded completely and they'll probably just find some other girl to take her place, but still.

Really like ClariS' stuff so it is sad to hear that one of them is leaving the duo. Although I wish them the best in their studies.

SamCham? Won't you have to skip the episode with the pervy painter?

Yeah good point. It's been a while since I saw it. But eh, I feel the overall show is great that I can deal with that. Thankfully everyone is old, and are pretty liberal. I just don't want mindless fan service that is heavy throughout, because it then becomes harder to explain that away and it's just awkward.
 
And a warmongering tyrant whose Empire was destroyed one hour after his death. Ergo he's in no position to criticize Saber's reign. ;P

That's what I was talking about. Just because he feels a King must be a
tyrant doesn't make Sabers ideals and views null and void on how a King should conduct oneself
.

You misspelled boss.

He fights like a boss. His viewpoints are extremely self centered and his personality is that of a doofus.

I kinda feel bad for Chloe.
Not bad for an anime original character huh?

I really liked the OP to the Tsukihime anime - used it as my alarm for years (though I now use chiptune Go My Way).
How did you get an OP for an anime that doesn't exist?
I don't understand Tsukihime anime hate aside from it feeling rushed as hell but that's probably down to not playing the VN I guess.

Anyone and everyone, don't buy Drakengard 3. I just finished it and feel like I've been trolled. Fuck this mess of a game that doesn't even have good writing to make up for how terrible it plays.
After sitting through 90 hours of Drakengard 2's utter garbage which resulted in screen burn on my TV, 3 can only be a step-up*. At least it will have more than one decent song on its soundtrack!

*I reserve the right to back-pedal when the game does turn out to be shit.

That revolving cafe place in Aria owned by the most gentleman person in anime.
Unexpected. Would have thought you would have selected the family restaurant from Hidamari while Miyukichi works there. Too late now...

From what I heard it's a decent show that feels almost nothing like the source material, and the joke is that the adaptation doesn't exist because it isn't an adaptation. I haven't watched the anime though.

Tonari no Seki-kun 21 END

To tell the truth, I was a little unsure about ending the show with another Robot Kazoku episode, since that whole joke seemed a little bit played out. Buuuuut I needn't have worried. Best episode yet, Robot Kazoku reigns supreme.

...Second season when.

I personally find both viewpoints valid but side with Rider/Archer in this one from the fact that trying or wishing to change history is foolhardy. Sure Rider/Archer stem from their selfish personalities but they've come to terms with themselves in having no regrets in what they've done.

Well Rider said he
didn't recognize Saber as a King and more as a little girl. Archer never went that far and even acknowledged that she isn't wrong in what she thinks a King is supposed to be. Even if he was kind of mocking her while saying it. I agree that chasing the past is futile, but having the ideal that a King is a servant of the people, weak or strong, is a noble ideal. Rider pressed that a King must be a tyrant so he can be adored and remembered for being a true king
. That is a very greedy ideal. One I disagree with.

It is a noble ideal, I agree. But one cannot deny the success Alexander/Iskander had during his reign, regardless of its ultimate destruction. I won't spoil too much but throughout the rest of the series but Rider's speech resonates deep within Saber and will flesh her character out through the rest of the series.

Hooooooly crap that was brilliant XD Of all the ways for Tadokoro's drama to be resolved, never in a million years was I expecting
the combined power of Onoda's shounen haato and MAHOU SHOUJO ANIME to bring him back from the brink
!

Miracles and magic are real!

Also, the fanservice-tastic end cards continue xp
