Because that's the character he's playing.
I'd believe anything about Loch Ness before this. For DTL I can believe tho.

So you think he is an idiot for real? How rude.

He'll believe the Loch Ness monster is real before he believe otherwise. Haha.
Honestly I didnt know what a gloryhole was until I asked my coworkers one night.
Excellent. Its a hell of a show. The last couple episodes really put it all together. The movie Rebellion actually kinda tries to tear it apart but thats all Ill say about it. Should be a cheaper release coming I think.

Ping Pong 4 - 8
All caught up. Still an amazing show. Kong's story is really emotional, definitely had me tearing up at times. The scenes with him, his mother and his team cooking were really heart warming.
Peco's transformation has been amazing though. His journey to realising his dream again and bouncing back even stronger is really inspirational, though he should have kept the longer haircut. It'll be interesting to see him go up against Smile or Kazama. Kazama's developing story has been interesting too. His burden with constantly trying to honour his family's name and his ferocious dedication to ping pong really add to his character. I feel like in another show he'd just be a menacing brute. Smile's story has probably been the weakest recently. He hasn't had much going on but he does seem to slowly be developing more and more enthusiasm for things and seeing Peco
Definitely glad I'm caught up now.

It's so heartbreaking that he can't catch his break and get into the nationals but at least he has people that care about him in Japan now.
return to his status as Smile's hero is quite touching.
Google "father of music". Bach comes up.
"Beethoven described him as "Urvater der Harmonie", the "original father of harmony"." -wiki
*shrug*
Also, you let one detail ruin an episode for you like that?

Would everyone else on the show have to call you firehawk-shachou?
The details are important because he's learning actual music history that goes back much farther than Bach, and with much more influential people as well.
whether or not the episode was anygood, thts no reason to skip part of a work. You still arent seeing whats intended to be seen. Also DiC ROYALLY fucked up the final episodes to the point that the episodes dont really exist either.

Dog Days 02
Anyway with that being said it could have been MUCH more terrible.
So on to what everything cares about:
Eclair remains in a high position to be a good contender for best girl. How does that even work though.
Leo is putting up a very good fight however.
Also it's a me.
Seeing the second episode I'm still a bit iffy on the show. It still feels like it's going to be the dumb anime comedy that HAS to just feature the classic 'schoolboy trapped in weird world routine' because clearly this couldn't be entertaining without it.

The joke was that Usagi was bullshitting her speech to begin with.
It's the best solo Usagi episode, had a good plot progression as most of the episode was actually about the youma trying to correct a fuckup rather than the usual formula, and had a ton of interesting visuals.
just watch it for the mofuwa. Let your pants guide you. Or your lack of pants, whatever you prefer.
Also I looooove webm sooooo much.

Why would you quote all those webms, why?

Stop using bad plugins!
It's been years since I watched OG Sailor Moon :/
Maybe I should rewatch after all, heh.
Basically Usagi tries to denounce the youma's actions by invoking how a musical authority would disapprove, gets the intended reference wrong, then Luna corrects her. Usagi then turns to Luna and says "If you hadn't said anything they wouldn't have known!"
It's one of the many self-aware bits in Sailor Moon.
Ahhh.
Akuma no Riddle Episode 9:
Holy fuck, when did this series decide to actually become good? Like the past two episodes have actually been good featuring real emotions, passion, credible threats and actual stakes. Maybe if this series had been like this from the start it would have pushed the barely tolerable mark.

those things load near instantly. If they were gifs it might be a problem.
Ah, yes. Nothing like color-coded animal girls. Season 3 when?
Also, you'll change your tune once yellow gets introduced. Everyone does.
Dog Days is a better Nanoha than Nanoha.
Although I don't think that transformation sequence was at all necessary.

When it arrives, can you let me know if the box says it's region B (EU) compatible? Searching suggests not but I'd like to be sure. If it isn't then apparently Madman are doing an Australia release which I can import since it's the same region, though I'm not 100% certain whether they're doing a BR release or just a DVD one.
Incidentally, Kurumi beat Kuroyukihime in the latest round of IntSaimoe*. How does that make you feel? Where do your loyalties lie, cajun?
*Not that I care about IntSaimoe, of course.
After dealing with the endless shonen that is part of Toonami I am so disposed to disagree with that sentiment. At any rate, as mentioned before I could see why it was skipped and indeed if I had to maker that call, I would have skipped that episode as well.
You're going to struggle through Sailor Moon if episodes have to be of consequence to not be skippable.
That show made me squee so much. Its one of the few shows left that needs a US release.
Sure thing!
As for your second question I would opt out by principle. I cannot choose between two goddesses. Its against my religion.
I can be a harsh arbiter of judgement and this is also why I am sticking to the Hulu schedule. Two episodes is enough for a week.
Sailor Moon has some pretty aggravating parts where it drags and such.
Indeed, and filler is filler and is thus shit. Let us not pretend that Sailor Moon could not use the Kai treatment.
So Cowboy Bebop is shit? It's mostly filler, you know.
Cowboy Bebop is a different show with differing goals then Sailor Moon. I guess the best I can say is Sailor Moon's filler is better then endless shonen filler but that is hardly high praise.

Huh, I wouldn't even group those two shows together so closely.
Actually, Sailor Moon is exactly the same kind of show as Cowboy Bebop. It's an episodic show with an overarching plot that occasionally gets touched on, not unlike some American TV shows like House MD. This is completely different from the shounen model you insist on forcing onto it.
Preconceived notions can warp your appreciation of a show. You're already setting yourself up for failure by using the "filler" mental shorthand.
That remark I didn't mean as seriously. They're from the same author and part two features some Nanoha style magical girl stuff, and I enjoyed it more overall.

I do. Vividred clearly has no idea what to do with its
I remember Eclair and Leo were being the only things that I really enjoyed about this show. I was expecting something adventurous, but instead I got, well just a cute little story. Which wasn't a bad thing, really. I mean, from the start it knew what it was trying to be and kinda stuck with it.
It wasn't a bad show, it just felt kind of average to me. That reminds me, I still haven't watched the last episode of season 1 yet...
Tsk Tsk Tsk.
Nanoha was a story about time-space, interesting villains, and magical girl Gundam fights! It was not the story of some yahoo getting thrown into a world of humanoid dogs and just going along with some friendly war going on between the two like it wasn't a big deal!
Comparing both of those shows together would practically be doing both of them a disservice.
Yea, I get there is a formula to Sailor Moon and I have seen quite a bit of it. I don't have high standards for this show for most episodes but bad episodes that focus on forgettable one shot characters that you could not pay me to give a toss about I consider a waste of my time.
Most of the show is that. Episodic means one-shot!
Strangely enough this is the first episode to do that since the other episodes involved Sailor Moon's regular human supporting cast as the focus of each episode.
After Jadeite the Dark Kingdom starts going after specific people as its MO, and these are all one-shot appearances with only a few exceptions. Sailor Moon S, Supers, and Stars all have one-shot appearance victims as their standard focus as well.
Only R goes the more Jadeite route.
Filler can be fun sometimes. Some people enjoy it. In sailor moon sometimes filler actually furthers a character a little bit so it isnt always. but the show is tried and true monster of the week fare so its to be expected.
Vividred pretty much is about yuri and butts and cute girls. It never really pretended to be anything different. I dont think its meant to be taken seriously.
So like episode 6?
Yes, actually, because that is actually showing some growth on the part of Sailor Moon as a superheroine. It wasn't enough to redeem the episode but the sentiment was there. Indeed any enjoyment I can get out of the early fights is welcome.
Dusk Maiden 11
This is a nice inversion. Bit a standard climax but eh. Oh hey, did the ED change a little? Yuuko seems a little more smiley.
Dusk Maiden 12 -END-
Oh good, some relaxing comedy first-off the bat. Omg kirie casually salting herself. This is really nice after the last few episodes of radass tension.
Since we have an entire episode left, that means either this is a hilarious OVA or something still has to go down.
WHELP
NOT HILARIOUS OVA EPISODE
Anyway, that was a really fun series. Its animation and general artstyle wasn't worth a damn but it made up for it heaps in its weird cinematography and cuts and the way it was totally prepared to go completely nuts to lend a heightened sense of madness to pretty much everything.

So that ending was kind of weird? Like, it sort of had this amazing bitter-sweet moment that nearly hit me full-scale and then immediately invalidated itself. In, well, kind of a suitable manner, but it still was weird.
