If you watch it understanding the words spoken to you, then you aren't doing it right.
Also, the main character has an incredibly thick kansai accent. You gotta go sub.
Yeah it does sentimental okay but it does goofy so much better

Well blame them for saying it doesn't matter!
It's very crucial that I make them have a "good" time

Sailor Moon (Uncut) - 06
Well damn, this was definitely a step up from the last episode. The lackey in this episode was a literal bat out of hell; a couple scenes felt like they were pulled out of a horror anime due to her. And hey, there's also a moment where Usagi actually outsmarts not only her, but Luna, too.
Yea, I just noticed I got the episode number wrong.

One Week Friends - Episode 6
I think it's time for dresden to catch up on this! The thrilling mystery of the convenient amnesia ailment might finally be solved!!!
I enjoyed the episode quite a bit. It's been a while since I watched the show, but it hasn't lost any of its charm. It's a relaxing and leisurely paced show about friends being friends, with some weird conditions. Such cute. Much relax. Wow.
One Week Friends - Episode 7
Another good episode. It's pretty interesting to see how the amnesia gimmick has pretty much gone into the background. It's just a vague curiosity now instead of the driving narrative point. This also seems to indicate that there's a chance the main relationship might be able to move forward soon, even though Hase is really the most spineless doofus out there.
One Week Friends - Episode 8
More fun times with friends being friends. More hints of Fujimiya and Hase wanting more out of it but not knowing how to express it. More slice of life goodness. The most "disappointing" part of this episode was how they went into an arcade, teased the possibility of showing actual videogames, but decided to just focus on girly stuff like crane machines and photo booths instead. This show is definitely not targeting typical male viewers. Lol.
Uh huh.

Ah, right.
But can we ever really understand the words spoken to us?
Nah. Stuff actually happens.
http://www.mushishi-anime.com/news/
Oh boy. Things aren't sounding good for Mushishi's production. This week's episode has been delayed to next week. Instead they're airing that "special" again. Yes, the same one they aired just two weeks ago. Lol. I knew it looked bad when they updated the site last week and episode 8 didn't even have a unit director credited. It does now. So looks like they found someone to make it!

Escaflowne of the Heavens 25-26
Also damn that fortune, that's one of the most BS ways to die ever. Straight Binbougami ga shit.
OK this was a gread ending. The Allen vs Escaflowne swordfight was so goooooooood.

Yep, .com is cheap as crisps and offers better exposure to boot.
Maybe that's why Miyukichi has defected to bad anime.
Hossana to direct episode 9?So looks like they found someone to make it!

No Game No Life 08
Someone on a fantasy continent who's skilled enough to use video games. May as well hand Sora and Shiro the victory already. The animal-eared kingdom (and yes, Miyuki Sawashiro is in the show now) was as entertaining as expected, and the way the bet escalated from panties to countries was what I like about this show - irreverent and couched in its ridiculousness to the point where it makes you want to be invested in it. The glitchiness at the end was weird in a "do not adjust your set" kind of way, and it turns out to have something to do with what's going on.
I think Shiro can accomplish great things on her own, but they're a team.

Eyes are too small and not sparkly enough. Chitandas eyes were two maelstroms.

SAOII is an evil that can bring good things with a main heroine role!

She's using her HnnnngKichi voice, akin to God from Maria-holic.
Their reactions would be quite something.
The best things in life are worth waiting for.
Ohhh that was a GOOD role.

...I'm guessing that Sora went back to the real world world temporarily, mainly because in the credits, the scene with his room was the glitchiest of all

There's never a bad Miyukichi role, especially if she's a mofu.
I've become resilient to this after hundreds of listens!
Only hundreds?

I think this is the best part of the show. If they spent more time on the details of the amnesia and less on her interactions with Hase & co, the show would have gone south real fast.
towing the line between the fantasies otakus want and making it morally ambiguous is a true art form.

Well this plot point doesn't really change much i'd say.
i'm talking in general in anime , not in NGNL
Hurray! Glad you enjoyed it on the whole (I think?). Of course, a huge chunk of that swordfight is just the fight from the OP fight slowed down, but it's still pretty awesome.
Lots of people hate the ending for obvious reasons, but I've always felt it tonally appropriate.
SPOILERS FOR WHOLE SHOW
Folken Basically fate amplification seems to mean "whatever the shittiest thing that can happen to you is, will happen". I've never totally understood the final resolution - why Hitomi and Van's love is stronger than fate or whatever - but I don't care because it's so awesome to watch.

It was cool on the whole. It does suffer from some weird decisions largely from being what I understand is an experiment for Sunrise at the time that also bled into Gundam Wing in terms of trying to sell mecha to a female audience.
Some weird pacing issues as well and editing, as well as some experimental digital effect usage, very visible in this BD especially in how every scene that features them drops to effectively SD.
SPOILERS FOR WHOLE SHOW
Folken
I think it is simply a space controlled by Dunkirk more than normal so the whole event was foreseen by him including Folken's death in order to man manipulate Hiromi into triggering the Atlantis machine.

Oh shit
Oh shit
It was all in Shiro's head! Sora never existed!
It wasn't, as far as I'm aware, just about mecha shows - it was apparently an attempt to generate crossover appeal in general, an experiment apparently attempted at first with Wild Knights Gulkeeva, which was I believe produced by the same part of Sunrise the previous year. I've yet to get around to watching Gulkeeva to ascertain whether this is the case or not - it's just something I read once upon a time.
These days, selling mecha (hell, selling virtually anything) to a female audience purely seems to extend to putting hot men in the lead roles and giving them ambiguously gay dialogue. I'm not saying Escaflowne was perfect but it gave us several different and competent women in leading roles (if a little romance obsessed); I wish more shows had a similar tone, but then it is my favourite anime of all time so that's not a huge surprise.

Jibril and the Ambassador's passive aggressive conversation was pretty good.
AND LOL THAT BET
HIGHER STAKES THEN KAIJI
That glitched out ED was pretty good too

Chaika 08
Yes, a group of traveling street performers. Essentially two wolves trying to appear sheep-like to each other (except for Chaika, who remains a beacon of hope among all this) ending with some reformation of life goals going on. Nice little story. That was pretty quick for another "Chaika" to appear - though she was outed just as quickly.
