He's also like three levels higher than Cartman, iirc. That's massive in a game with only 10 levels.

I don't actually know any, but considering a few characters relationship and the fact the LN started 3 years ago, I'd be pretty surprised if there wasn't at least one NTR doujin.
You may not believe me, but bad stuff can get tiring.

I wanted a gif of Ranko's toes before the scene pictured in the gifs you linked, actually.
You've let me down for the last time.

Well, it's almost good news to see good to see the better shows being rewarded by people pre-ordering them.
I can sense your overwhelming sense of disappointment when it comes to Upotte! sales.

You know, Legend of the Galactic Heroes doesn't get shorter because you aren't watching it!
Upotte! got what was coming to it - it probably wasn't accurate enough for gun otaku (any small mistake would probably piss them off immensity) and they aren't a big audience anyway. On the other hand it wasn't fanservice enough for the fanservice audience or cute enough for the K-On! audience.

Lupin the Third - The Woman Called Fujiko Mine 5
This show is so much better when Fujiko is off-screen. And when everything isn't covered by ugly lines.

Right, right. Not sure if I'll be able to assist you there.
Turns out it was Verano that wanted the aforementioned gifs:
Maybe your sins, but I had nothing to do with it.
so did you ever continue E7?
Neither is a problem if it's done well.
I watched Genshiken a long time ago but I can't say that I remember any English.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes 012
This episode was mainly setup for the Alliance's invasion of the Empire, but it managed to cram some interesting ideas into the mix. From the unbridled patriotism of Douche McWhatsHisFace to the opportunism of Mrs. ItsElectionYearsoweGottaWar it seems like the Alliance is taking every single chance they can to get fucked up the arse. Can't say I'm rooting for them right now.
I particularly liked the talk between Yang and his superior, question soldier duty while still abiding to the unreasonable demands from the politicians. That was like, what, three whole dimensions of character in the span of two sentences? LotGH may be wordy, but it is not verbose.
I wanna zombie love you.

I hate marathoning through anime, dude. I tend to keep missing stuff when I watch something back-to-back, especially for long shows like this one.

Did you watch season 2? That's where the engrish is from.
It seems like you were a little bored.

That is some tremendous pubic hair.
Right, it is, what I meant was it's not required to be a pirate. Which is what Cajunator said.
THESE ARE IMAGES THAT STUDIO DEEN ACTUALLY PRODUCED (maybe, well, it was probably a studio that specialises in background art, but it's in a DEEN show!)
This season really is ridiculous when it comes to background art. I can't remember the last time we had so many different shows with interesting and artfully produced backgrounds.
It only makes Accel World's shame all the more apparent.

Those are just examples I picked out from a list, rather than representatives of the whole. I don't know what percentage of 13 episode anime airs in that late night slot, but I imagine it's a large proportion of it, which would in turn mean that a most anime airs at late night.
Of course, the time when anime airs in the rest of the world is also important when considering it's length - long running 'kids shows' Astro Boy, Kimba, Marco, Heidi and so forth were extremely popular shows internationally (probably viewed by more people than anime any today) and we can assume these were shown in the afternoon.

I can't understand how anyone could possibly forget a characters name, after all, they write it up on screen and everything! Easy peasy:

what were they thinking with those colours
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia 04:
Add my voice to the consensus that the show is getting better with each episode. It's never not going to be junk food anime at its core, but it's hitting all of the right notes for me. Between the abandoned building porn, the fun characters, the light supernatural mysteries, and the SHAFT-y visual quirks and fanservice, this is the kind of thing that I feel okay shutting my brain off to watch.
Yuuko's mischief continues to generate comedy. Being my ghost girlfriend would probably be the only thing that would allow me to forgive her for
. Of course, there always seems to be an underlying motive behind Yuuko's whims, and taking into consideration the things that she expressed to Teiichi in this episode, her actions seem to always be motivated by a fear of loneliness.
I could be seeing too much in her character, but her constant attempts to frighten, arouse, embarrass, and annoy Teiichi almost seem like a method of compensating for decades of invisibility. At last, she's found someone that can see her and interact with her, and so she's going to elicit as many reactions as she possibly can. Understandably, she fears a return to total invisibility, and she expresses this through clingy jealousy and a constant need for Teiichi's attention. In this episode Yuuko also seems to express a fear of
, presumably because this is the reason that her soul is in a state of unrest and her current situation is preferable to moving on. I can only wait and see whether or not this is correct.
I should also note that I found that this episode had the best ratio yet of good to bad SHAFT Junior League shots. I liked all of the following:
However, the final image is unfortunately marred by Dusk Maiden's cheap and ugly use of flat layers for their sky shots, which in this scene resulted in a two-dimensional moon hovering parallel to the surface of the pool. Eeeugh, just look at that reflection. I hope that they fix this for the BDs, because the coloration in this (and other) scenes of the sky are really beautiful otherwise.

Whenever I watch these monthly sakuga videos I am always reminded of how much anime I don't watch. I mean, I haven't seen the majority of shows in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=CJvh0hKCE3E
Yeah, I am not quite sure why they keep saying that Secrets/G-monsters can't be killed by conventional weapons when all the mechs (IFO's) all appear to have convential machine guns and missiles.
If you gather enough teenagers in one place does it become a school setting? Truly question for the ages.

The passage of time in this show confuses me. Surely a planet-sized mobilisation of resources would be longer than the mere twenty-four hours depicted here? Never mind that convincing a whole planet to follow on your plan to delude the enemy without it somehow getting leaked to them is a big assumption to make.
Also: it seems like the purpose of every lady in this show is to have their husbands/baby daddies die in war.
And here I thought my real life name was a mouthful.
otoh, these are a monthly thing? yay I don't have to watch sucky anime anymore

Interestingly enough (or not, because anime is generally a very meta-textual medium), Euereka AO makes an Evangelion reference this week. I mean, besides the ones that it's already made:
Okay, so maybe I've seen Evangelion too many times.

The Alliance are always scrapping for a war, I can only assume they'd made the preparations beforehand!

Fun's over dudes --now the Brandweeb is in session.
Im equally confused by the time setting
We have flying cars and futuristic cityscapes
but still restricted to simple machine gun weapons?
Rail guns and Lasers are being tested in reality, which would surely be effective in the okinawans fight against the reapers!

Well, yes, if you're a 13-episode or less show you're most likely going to air at late night; I've seen very, very few daytime shows that go below ~26 episodes. And indeed, the greatest number of shows air at late night, or "otaku o'clock". On the other hand, even though there are comparatively few daytime shows that start airing each season, the amount of anime airing at any given time is more balanced thanks to the long-running stuff. A quick count shows that at present 27 shows air between 11 PM and 3 AM, while 35 shows air between 6 AM and 10:30 PM.

Which is really weird... am I just imagining it, but didn't E7 have beam based weapons somewhere?
Nope.
