he doesn't actually say thatt, he says "if we don't hurry and get ourselves some food, the shop owners will be gone, leaving us with no meat!" and there's no village burning when he says that, but that wouldn't be something out character for him to say.
Yeah.... you better get used to meat jokes early
If you can't understand what I meant, why bother replying? I'm clearly talking about his attitude during those scenes.
Damn them, forcing my hand to choose between Holo and Kuroko. It was painful, but the choice was obvious.
Mai-Hime 1
Hmmm, for a first episode it's not bad, except for the whole "you sexually harassed me by looking at my chest" stuff thrown at that dude (who is also boring and on my bad side already). That was annoying, and somewhat felt more stupid than usual but the opening makes me already dream for some delicious yuri moment.

Another great episode. Great pacing and use of color and lighting. The character progression is going quite nicely as Sentaro helps Kaoru get his shit together and realize what is and isn't important in life. Lots of nice little touches as per usual for this show, little gestures and looks that tell more than words.

But if you're trying to say that Victorique won't win, why post a gif of Victorique?
Mai Hime is fun but the ending is very frustrating.
I was wondering the same thing.
Kizna is sooooo cute.
Pity the show is terrible.

Heey, I may not be a fan of Gosick as a show.
But I want her to win her rounds! lol
I was just pretty sure the Madonka factor meant insta-wins.

I don't even know who to vote for on these things. So many characters I have no opinion on.
The show has its share of stupid moments and I don't think anyone likes Yuuichi. It is still pretty fun nonetheless.
That's why you can abstain.

Yeah, abstaining on those is perfectly reasonable.
That's how the bad guys win.

With every episode, this terrible feeling that Sentaro is going to end up dead by the time this is all over gets stronger and stronger. He just seems too good for this world.
Kaoru has his broments, though. Like

This show is so amazing, not even CG trains can ruin it.
The characterization for Kaoru is so rich, he's such a three-dimensional character compared to most anime protagonists- and I'm not just talking about how he's shaded. In this episode alone we saw his friendliness to children, his
That's more characterization in one episode than some protagonists get in an entire series.
Of course, it also has to be well-executed, but there's no worries there as the direction continues to be excellent. In particular I thought this episode had great cinematography and lighting. The shading style is growing on me and I thought they really used it well this time.

But that's not surprising given this show's attention to using body language to communicate feelings.
And I loved the lighting and use of multiple planes during the last scene.

This episode was really heavy on fishing, but it all served as development for Yuki.
.
Professional fishing equipment is really freaking expensive, though then again it's rare for youth to take it up as a hobby. It seems more like the kind of thing that rich old guys do just to prove how much money and leisure time they have, kind of like golf. Maybe it's different for Japan considering that fish is a staple of the Japanese diet and you're close to water no matter where you live.
Using individual rods to catch mahi mahi seems inefficient if you're fishing for a living, but maybe using a net doesn't work with that particular type of fish for some reason.

By the end of the episode he's no longer tsundere for fishing and finally just enjoys it. I'm glad that we'll likely have fewer instructional scenes from now on

The historical Hiraga Gennai performed experiments with electricity just decades after Benjamin Franklin. He also lived nearly 200 years after the Sengoku era ended.

Unless you really like freckle moe, this episode was utterly dull. There were only a handful of backgrounds used for the entirety of the episode and the show usually cut away to a still image whenever an action more complex than basic speaking or movement was about to occur. Next, please.

Lupin the Third - The Woman Called Fujiko Mine 6
Who could resist
?
Of course, it helped that this episode was smartly directed. It had very striking imagery that tended towards the abstract at times (and not just in that one scene), but it held together with good atmosphere and a natural flow. This is definitely not what Lupin as a series is known for, and I still have my reservations about how the show as a whole will play out, but for this episode at least it worked.
So much wasted talent.

Did it look like I was trying to change your opinion? You're the one with the misunderstanding. I was merely correcting your wrong assumption about what you thought I was implying.
Not sure why you so often misunderstand someone's tone.

No idea. Then again, time travel is just crazy and convoluted enough that they wouldn't bother explaining it.
Yes, there is blood or something red around the time machine. Maybe she landed on some squirrel or something.
it could just be debris from the dilapidated time machine
I was kind of hoping that the show was hinting that
the time machine had landed on top of past Gennai and killed her in a freak accident

That would defeat or confuse us even further with the whole scene of From the Future Gennai seeing that current time Gennai walking in with her bag of stuff.

spoke something about being connected to Ledouche through heart or whatever.

the most clueless person in the entire world can be someone fit to rule an Empire? And oooooo she's mad, I'm scared. I think I officially dislike her simply because she's antagonizing the Ledouche x Spinzaku duo.
