Smile Precure 13:
BEST EPISODE
AAAAAA QUALITY ANIMATION
EVERY SECOND IS AMAZING
MIYUKI'S GENKI IS OVER 9000
JUST WATCH
I took over a hundred screengrabs from this episode and could have easily taken more, but fortunately ABF stepped on the picspam landmine before I had a chance to so I will simply strongly encourage everyone to watch. Next week looks like it's going to be just as incredible.

terrifying Precure acid trips
Heartcatch-level expressions through the whole episode
The animation in the Akanbe fight is mindblowing
Do I even need to caption this

I stopped around episode 5 to catch up with this season and last. But Ill resume it.
Yami's out of the way so something will take its place.
By the way, Yami gets a solid 12/10.
Then again this is KyoAni, it's not like K-ON had a hook.

Maybe it won the grand prize in one of their contests. Oh wait.
K-on has a hook. The hook is that it's Seinfield, but with cuteness instead of sarcasm and hate.

As I said in my review, yeah, I agree,
the cosplay pirates thing was kind of stupid. Should have been pirate outfits for sure. The "anime being anime" elements like that or the maid costumes are the series' weaker parts.
As for the rest... watch ep. 17.
Yeah, I would guess that that's what was going on. I posted an amusing image earlier in this thread, comparing Saki's actual look (in the first scene like that, back in the original series) to the one that people passing her see... quite a difference indeed.
It's more about Achiga than Kiyosumi. Of course though it's not only about them; in addition to cameos from other teams like Ryuumonbuchi or Tsuruga, as always each school they face in the later matches gets some attention, and one of them has Saki's sister Teru on the team...
Yeah, the main manga's going on too of course, and Achiga's now past the end of the first series. That's the first thing here from that manga but not seen in the original TV show. That's the reason for that.
Lelouch certainly was a villain, he'd crossed the moral event horizon for sure. Just because the person he was fighting was evil too doesn't mean he wasn't as well... there is such a thing as evil vs. evil.
Indeed, you have now see the pinnacle of anime. It's all downhill from here, true greatness cannot be beaten.
1.) You make it sound like that's a bad thing. What it was before was what prevented more people from actually giving the game the time of day, myself included.
2.) Not true, the whole point is for you to explore the zone (which is huge and is littered with dynamic events).
3.)That's really wrong. If anything it expands on it. Being able to switch on the fly adds a lot more options for you to explore and experiment. Rather than sitting there mashing the same skill over and over, you can switch to your second set of weapons and do some mix-ups. There's even some setups where players can do cpc's by themselves (last I heard).
You should really watch some videos or interviews. I'm not trying to get you interested in the game but at the very least clear up some of your misconceptions. Because some of your impressions on what you think this game is about are pretty far out.
That actually makes it sound intriguing.

Sure. But more and more tv shows here are casting ethnically appropriate actors to portray ethnic roles. Touch, for as absurd a show it is, has a new language every week. Then there are the weird ones like Lost and Heroes, which had Korean and Japanese characters speak what is presumably somewhat accurate Korean and Japanese.
The hook for K-On! is girls playing rock instruments. What is Hyouka about? I've watched two episodes and I have no idea.

That's a really bizarre comparison. Being an purposeless show about ordinary life doesn't make it like Seinfeld.
She's not a joke character.
I imagine there must have been something in it they liked. I don't find it boring so far, so I guess it must have something that works for me.

Is it a sure thing that Hyouka won't be going anywhere interesting?
That depends on whether Eru has daddy issues or is actually an alien ala anonatsu.
Cute girls, I guess. That and the production values are all I can think of.

1) It is a bad thing. I loved that it was as much a single player game as it was a multiplayer one.
2) Dynamic events do sound good, but what exactly is not true?
3) The whole point was to get a good build. If you can switch on the fly, sure it increases your strategic options, but it also reduces the amount of planning you have to do, because you can just switch to whatever you need during the action... that's not Guild Wars. I don't remember offhand exactly how many sets you're allowed in GW2, but I hope it's not the usual 10 that you get in MMOs. That kind of thing would be the antithesis of GW design, but of course a lot about GW2 is that anyway.
Sure, some of those changes could be seen even in GW1's later addons -- see EotN and how it pretty much gets rid of mission entry zones, and instead either starts missions in explorable areas or in towns -- but that was a bad change, and one of the weaker elements in an otherwise outstanding addon... I liked some of the integration, but it made finding groups for missions even harder. Given how hard that'd already gotten, since the addition of Heroes ruined the "missions should be played in groups of human players" dynamic that had previously dominated, that was NOT a good thing.
I liked Heroes otherwise, but they definitely had some important negative effects on the game.
(I started playing GW1 in the very first open test in E3 2004, so I saw it from the first time the public could...)

I can see the complaints about this arc, as each episode covered the main story beats of the other two, but there was enough unique focus and perspective in each one that it didn't bother me.

K-on wasn't about playing rock instruments, though, any more than Hyouka is about mysteries.
The show is obviously about Houtarou learning to not be a lazy, boring bum. I didn't think that was even subtle, but I guess some people missed it.
Not a troll either. You must not have talked with icecream enough.

I don't know if it was because I had different expectations today, but... I liked it? I think the fact that DouchebagSmoothGuy had less talking time (but still a lot) helped. I thought the mystery was actually intriguing and Chitanda is slowly growing on me. Also, that other girl is cute.

I don't hang out on IRC, so my only exposure is when she (this feels so wrong) posts one of her usual threads.

Is there more Korra x Mako?

You should get on that. Costanza is moe as fuck.
And how.
The guy playing Hiro (Masi Oka) is totes Japanese-speaking, but I understand the dude playing Ando (James Lee) was Korean so he did all his lines phonetically.
God, Heroes was so awesome in Season One. Why did you get so fucking terrible Heroes goddamnit.

Cool, more Tasogare is certainly good.
Yeah, it is good that they actually have personalities... they aren't entirely just vehicles for the fans, they do have independent thoughts. And actions, like mocking the girls sometimes, or Yuuichi constantly complaining about the cold.
Shows like Seinfeld and Friends have never interested me at all, but K-On's not better.

Don't mind me. Just misusing the phrase (as I've been taught).
However,
Mako's new little interest is a temporary hitch on the road of Korra x Mako

That's wrong. K-On! was about 'cute girls doing cute stuff and trying to form a club' while K-On!! was all that mono no aware stuff. It had broad appeal and didn't bore everyone (although it certainly bored some). It had lots of energy, and the characters were pretty excited about what they were doing.

Asami. So HAWT. Korra should die and she should be the main character.
Yeah, s1 was the best season of the show. And yeah, Oka taught Lee all the lines. Of course, Japanese speakers think Oka's Japanese is atrocious, so I dunno. At least they made the effort!
No, that wasn't a question. That was an expression to give affirmation and emphasis.

hyouka reminds me of that haruhi eps where everyone is sitting around the clubroom doing nothing. But for an entire show.
