If you're thinking it's yaoi-ish because of the designs, it isn't. Not even a bit.
Natsuiro Kiseki 6
A pretty fun episode, perhaps even the best one so far. I did have a problem with the editing

when the Natsumis were taking a bath together. Natsumi 1 leaves the bath first. The next shot is of a Natsumi drying herself while entering her room and seeing another Natsumi lying in the bed. It creates the notion that a third Natsumi was created when it reality, Natsumi 1 leaving the bath was succeeded by the shot of Natsumi 2 drying herself and seeing Natsumi 1 in the bed.

I'd actually compare it to Gambling Emperor Zero before I would Kaiji. You should see why soon.
Maybe you should watch this show sometime and or hook me up with what's recent with Mintjam. I wanna listen to some of their newer stuff to compare what they're doing in Accel World.

I wasn't expecting that, since I had already looked it up.
time to catch up
Hunter x hunter R 18
Gon scoring some mad bro points, his not carry 1 bro on his back but the entire team what a bro.
there's some nice moving shadow ray tracing effect in the sunset scene tried to take pic of it doesn't really show up that much since it's a a soft transparent effect.

We know all that yaoi is better than yuri. Yuri is just a cheap fanservice element but yaoi is true love.

The coach's girlfriend is freaking cute. Actually all the girls in the show are real moé.
My God even the dog has great animation. This show is amazing.

I think she's the other girl in the OP.
The :firehawk moment here is that the new scarf is actually from the girl's bestfriend and her friend's gaze follows the old scarf.

The scarf that's leaving her is her dead mother's favourite scarf.

Okay that is cute.
Utena Nozomi DVDs
English dub as default track. Why. A premium priced release targeted to people who likely will not touch the dub with a 1000ft pole and they make it the default track... It's minor, but it's going to be annoying to have to switch to the correct audio track with each new disc. Maybe it's just bothering me because even Funimation had the decency to make the JP audio default (yes, Funimation did that) on the Dragon Boxes, because it was a premium priced release for fans who likely do not want to listen to the dub and I'm currently watching those as well. It's even worse because the Utena dub is ungodly terrible.
Book is nice. I read the part where they talk about the video remastering and apparently there was some tinkering done for continuity and other stuff. Nothing extreme it seems, and Ikuhara understands the effects of film revisionism. (ie, the DVDs are no longer Utena that aired in 1997, but Utena the series released on DVD)
My boxes are kinda warped and have a few nicks on them so I will probably watch them and then complain at Amazon to send me ones in better condition.
Also disappointed they didn't replicate the stylish as fuck R2 DVD menus since Ikuhara seemed to be personally involved in those as well off what I read in the booklet.

Tsuritama Ep5
I have a sort of unusual relationship with this show. I don't really like the characters, but they don't offend me. I have zero interest in fishing whatsoever, and I find that the more the narrative tries to get the audience interested in the mechanics and details behind fishing, the less I care. But I really like the colors and the general drive behind the show. The music is great too. I don't think the show really has a strong grip on me, but I'll keep watching as long as there are aspects of it I enjoy. But every week after watching an episode of Tsuritama, whether I enjoy the episode or not I feel reinforced in my opinion that fishing is boring and a waste of time. :/

Your hatred for fishing clouds your judgement. How else are you going to survive when your plane breaks up over a desert island? (assuming you aren't killed instantly).
Certainly not with professional fishing equipment!
Jex
Member
Well, the equipment is clearly useful but if you don't know how to bait, lure and snag fish then you'll just starve. Which would be tragic.
Huh, I don't remember it defaulting to the Dub when I played my DVD's. It sucks that your boxes were warped, mine were in pristine condition.
Jex

Surely that's cheating. You have to pick one girl or the other, or else.
Unless like, everyone abstaining damages a characters rating on their charts. That I can support because it would mean that bad characters get worse rankings.

Bait and lure? Pfft. Real men spear fish.

I can't quite understand why though, it doesn't seem to be part of his character. I suppose it goes hand in hand with
an idealized view of his mother
Surely you just get your camera crew to do all the hard work? That's what TV has told me.

I don't know about that. The author of the manga seems to have a vested interest in explaining fishing in great depth.
Still, whether or not you like the fishing-centric nature of this series, it's clearly a massive improvement from [C] and it aptly demonstrates that Kenji Nakamura is at his best when working with quirky, off-beat shows.

That's not really how the show has handled anything so far though, so I didn't really find it surprising. Whole weeks can go past over the course of a single episode, after all. This could be considered one of the shows best features or it's greatest weakness, depending on your view of the series.
I, personally, enjoy the pacing but I do agree with the criticism most of the side characters aren't being given any time to breathe, leaving it as the 'Karou and Sentaro' show.
I was thinking of that other fishing show.
Plenty enough to know and love.
Lol premium priced. This wasn't premium priced. Also, I've never seen a release that defaulted to Japanese subtitles in the Us that wasnt Sub only. It has always been English dub first and Subs second. Thirdly, the Utena Dub is amazing.

Same. Nice, clean, happy boxes.
Must have been bad shippers.
Fishing isn't a waste of time if you enjoy it as a hobby. Also I pretty much grew up with family who fish a lot. My dad used to have a sailboat and we have always had a bass boat or access to one. Fishing in my blood. I wish I had more time to do that anymore.
$50 MSRP for 12 eps in the modern day R1 industry is premium priced. Plus I just gave you an example + no

So let's all come to an agreement regarding Hyouka:
is better than
Eru wins because she has big-head mode on. That makes her extra moe.
This is... normal, judging by a quick peek at Amazon's MSRP for anime.

Eru wins because of her gorgeous purple eyes. The other girl is cute, but her eyes arent the same beautiful purple and it makes a big difference. It doesnt really matter how big Chitanda's head is.

Sho was cheated as was maji love 1000% and the final episode.
Lack of Inazuma Eleven DS in the west turned be off from ever digging into the series.
For catalog releases?

The Alliance has a lot of...problems, most of which are inherent in most long-running democracies of that type. It's well on it's way to becoming a failed-nation by the time show starts.
