What episode of Yami are you on?
I just checked Pixiv and, as expected, there's a lot of art of Ban-kun in Cure Fire's costume.
some of it's actually kind of good.
It's laid out pretty clearly early on in the episode that she thinks both guys are crushing on the lady they saved at the beach.
Hawt.

Still haven't watched past 10.
Since madpierrot wasn't answering my summons on IRC earlier, we were unable to coordinate further watching. Ban-kun also has the best looking girl in the show as his mother. Ban-kun is one lucky guy.
Is that the zombie girl? she's cute!
Wasn't there a ghost girl this season too? Which is more [redacted]?

Private messaging, brah. Some days I'm barely in IRC at all!
Ban and his mom should have both become Cures. Between the first

So apart from the opening scene, this is a pretty severe drop in quality. The visual interest is mostly gone, the editing is lazy, and the zombie scenario goes in some icky directions that are awkwardly handled. It didn't really do a great job of selling the chemistry between the central couple, unlike the earlier scenes in the abandoned building. In the end, it's kind of dull. Probably won't keep following this. If Shinichi Omata directs another show, hopefully it's not with DEEN. Better source material would be nice too.

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with what I was aiming at. I was saying that she looking bored made it look like Kaoru's playing was crap and diminished the power of the scene. If she had those assumptions since the start of the performance, she should have looked more annoyed than bored imo.
Then again, I don't believe she had those assumptions until he said the name of the piece and she did her own 2+2 about the reason of that performance.
aww

I love that Sarasvati has a bigger role this season. She's such a great character.
This show really is at its best when it sticks to the over the top absurdity (even though I like the serious action too).

She is the better girl and the Dusk Maiden is the better show and manga.
You present a powerful argument. but I need to see more pics of ghost and zombie girl just to be sure.
I think it was described as a sequel and everyone here treated it as such.
I'm pretty sure in the narrative sense that it's not a direct sequel. I feel like this is just supposed to use similar concepts and ideas from the previous series and make it a new series. I don't think they're going to waste episodes trying to explain what happened after E7 and AO. Rather, I feel like it's better to make AO have its own space and turf for a better narrative experience. Idk... Maybe I'm wrong about this. As much as I love E7 and AO I want them to stand independently rather than being tied in some way. If AO happens after an alternate universe with Eureka then I'm fine with that though.
It didn't help that the fanservice was suddenly ramped up in particularly obtrusive ways.
Also, that episode had extremely obnoxious music design for some reason.
Kids on a Slope - 03
That whole tsundere jazz scene was pure lol. And I'm surprised at how things were moving along, since when did shows start moving romance plots along in so few episodes, I'm so confused right now.
Lupin III - 04
Looks like I like, I like this show best when Lupin is in it, doing his thing.

That's because this show is Gosei, not Slowjo.

That's what I meant by "icky directions".
The soundtrack itself is decent (from the MPD composer), but this episode didn't use it in an appropriate manner. The shower scene in particular had a perplexing choice of music.
I guess that can be considered a benefit of 1-cour shows coming to dominate TV anime.

...why would you need to mass market Kyoto Animation? It would be like making a random commercial for Dreamworks Studio that airs during the Kung Fu Panda cartoons.
If she were a dude that would be grounds for prison.#doublestandards
I don't think it was very moé aside from the catgirl. Just... cute.
Some might say not reading Lovecraft is the only way to remain sane in this forsaken land we called Earth.
I think there are laws against growing your own supply of roundcats.
Scratch that, there should be laws against this.
It was better keion animu than K-ON!.
Final Fantasy IV did it almost two decades before Persona 4.
At least you got Fluttershy on top.[/sighs]
I wanna see how many lists they come up with for each issue.
Maybe it's just my Outpost Gallifrey background speaking, but these percentages are meaningless to me without any concrete audience numbers. Then again, do I really want to know how niche Japanese cartoons are?
Saint Seiya Precure is beating (oYo)'s arse though!
The word deconstruction needs to be deconstructed.
Is necrophilia the one fetish the otaku are not too hot on?
Ramen Budget
The truly mainstream animus don't live from home video sales, however.
Superdeformed has nothing to do with technical errors. It's just an art style.
I hate having to bite into the apple. The peel always gets inserted between my front teeth.
I'm sure GuroGAF would attest against that! (Do we even have a GuroGAF? I don't wanna know.)
My uncle married his girlfriend from secondary school (they dated for eighteen years before marriage). I don't know what this means for my family.
uuuuh I'm pretty sure loli H-Manga no longer disclaims itself with such additions. Hell, nobody does! They just don't bother themselves with specifically stating the characters' ages.
I love your new tag, but let it be known that I did it first.I thought we were nakama
Speaking of stuff I've been saying for years!
Has Totoro come out in Blu-ray yet or are the mainstream Japanese just not Blu-Ray acclimated yet?
Erika here. Erika there. Erika everywhere.
Hey man, what you got against Level 5? They gave us cool stuff too.What makes me even happier is that it's not just the anime BD/DVDs which are super bomba. The entire franchise is a fucking disaster for Level-5 and Bandai in general. The model kits aren't selling, there aren't any good insert songs or OP/EDs, the manga spin-offs and side stories totally tanked, etc. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING about Gundam AGE is anything close to even a decent success.
Hey Hino-san, karma's a bitch eh?
The worst part about that cover is not the anatomy, but the boring-arse font. It's too classy for such a piece of shit animu.
Motherfucking shit YES.
Did Utena teach you fuckers nothing?
I got shit for watching Rugrats when I was like ten. Show for babbiez and all.
The moment I realised almost all my tastes in video games did not reflect those of the mainstream market I became a happier GAFfer. Surely the same can apply for you and your animus, people!
But would that truly sell? Considering they'll be into boys and all that crap.
Maybe the show wouldn't be so irritating if it had Tapioca as the cute sidekick instead of Haru.
The 4th-wall breaking narrator was the highlight of the show. Also Kugiloli that's not a midget.
She's just into the excitement of saliva-swapping. Like I've said before, she is not good waifu material. She's a slut!
There really is no point in banning a certain word if you are just gonna use an euphemism for it.
Shoot?
Is the ClariS album actually good?
I swear there was a Do-re-mi episode with this exact same plot line.
Said it. Sait it many times. People need to be preached on.
cosmic is getting a cutie mark!
It probably stems from the same idea girls have about "fixing" bad boys. You just want to be the light in the darkness of your waifu/husbando.
Dude, I've been gone for three days and these motherfuckers added like forty pages worth of posts in my absence (50 ppp superior master race).
We've been through this before. 50 PPP is the best way for mobile browsing, especially when you arseholes keep quoting the same multi-MB gifs without breaking the image code.
Oh, cool, I got a plot outline and everything.
Times like these make me glad I never got into Gundam. I actually don't see the appeal of Star Wars either...
Everyone is into NTR, either as an NTRee or NTRer.
Bread is penis, rose is vagina.
I think this is when the shading-choices of the show truly shine. I didn't realise it was CGI until I inspected it more closely!
Every post you make is a love lettre to me. <3HeartCatch PreCure! 17

Erika's easily the genkiest genki-girl who ever genkied. I'm feelin' pretty sorry for Yuri.
Ultimate waifu. She takes care of her husbando. True love.
Capitalism ahoy!
Careful man. The sexual implications on that girl are surely not Google-approved!
Erika makes everything better, even in her genderbender form.
Just think what will happen to AnimeGAF when they realis-
...they are already here, aren't they?
Yeah, but, Summer Wars was dull.
The idolm@ster at least had cute designs. Then again, I've never got into the pop-idol culture.
This is the true Lovecraftian cartoon of the season.
Stop it. This is stuff man was not meant to know.
Toradora! love is always appreciated. Animu of 2008 motherfuckers.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo
You should have stuck with it, it is one of the few series that becomes better and better as you go along.
It's a great show for unwinding yourself. I assumed you were already watching it.
I winced when I saw him doing that.
Dem scratches!!It takes me back to my GameFAQs days (ewww). Also I can never tell who you are quoting.

I thought it looked just as fine if slightly lower-budget. The comedy portions are still very dissonant, but mayhaps I can blame the source material.
Has cuilan got an account here yet?
Yay somebody likes me.
But is it as boring as Tsuritama?
They'll solve the mystery of why boobs expand on hot water.
I thought it was a sponge for using soap? That scene made no sense. That girl is retarded.
This is the episode where the Saint Seiya Precure jokes originated from.
What is this? The Pokérap?
Preemptive Pocket Full of Rainbows-style denial?

The hell is wrong with you yo?
Erika is the best precure.
That is undeniable fact.
She doesn't get the best transformation, sadly.
It was very disappointing, because it had almost reached the point where I thought it might go somewhere interesting. Instead it turned into what we had feared, a boring and weird fetish show with a wildly inconsistent tone. And I really hate that cousin character.
The music was just weird in this episode in how it faded in and out over the scene, often distracting from the dialogue that was occurring. You don't normally notice music design until it's done really badly, I guess.

^What show is that?
I watched the anime and I was like "what?"
I enjoyed it thoroughly though.

Well so far, they've had Nobunaga, Date Masamune, Kana Hanazawa, Idols, Yuri and Female Prison break, and it's failed at every single one flawlessly, it's truly an amazing accomplishment.
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia.

Or if it's done really well, like Hyouka. Hmmmm.
That's true to a degree, although in that case I more noticed the music itself. I guess what I'm trying to say is, good music design is unobtrusive and links together the soundtrack and the visuals in a way that is seamless. That episode of Sankarea did not do that. It forced you to think about the fact that someone was deciding on where to put music, and how loud that music was, and doing it badly at that.
That title sounds... amazing
You're better off reading the manga.
