Forty bucks for jello and a phone call? That better be one awesome conversation.

Maybe you are supposed to call up some old washed up idol for some one-on-one action.

It's slightly less expensive than this.

Nichijou 26 (Final)

If there was one sound that I constantly heard while watching Nichijou, it had to be, “Swoosh.” It was the sound of Short Thoughts, Helvetica Standards and all the other super short skits flying over my head like a bird traveling at Mach 2. Never before had I watched so many skits that were so polarizing. My reactions were often either, “I didn’t get it.” Or, “Okay, too much, I get it, I get it.” Rarely was there where it fell right in between. As you’d suspect, the aforementioned skits fell in the former. I think those that fell in the latter were just as problematic, with some gags overstaying their welcome. Take Episode 21’s skit of Yukko getting punished. It runs about 10 seconds too long. To the point where a simple, “Oh, I can understand how that’s humorous.” Turns into an, “OKAY, WE GET IT, STOP.” Another example that comes to mind would be a latter episode’s skit of Mio misundertstanding Sasahara’s interactions with

Spoiler

Nano, causing her to run for about 50 miles.

This right here was my main problem with Nichijou. Nearly every skit was either way too short and disposable or it was the anime equivalent of the Family guy chicken fight. Only very rarely could it manage to hit that sweet spot where the joke was both good and didn't overstay its welcome.

Take this scene, for example. It starts out fine, it's a perfectly acceptable skit, the gags work,I'm laughing my ass off, etc, but then it goes on for a whole goddamn minute more than it should and all I'm left thinking as I wait for it to get it over with is "why?"

"The Idolm@ster" Character Jelly Set Offered in Japan (Source)

no kotori though so fuck this

Chihaya jelly is Blueberry? Sold. Also, is Rinne no Lagrange worth watching? I remember seeing two or three episodes and stopped for some reason. I don't remember anything about it.

 

[Femmeworth]

What are you, some kind of pervert?

We're talking about a product aimed at The Idolm@ster fans here. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Jex]

I think a lot of people didn't really care for it until the 20s or so. I just think it's pretty hypocritical and annoying to criticize my approach to getting people into OP when many Gintama fans do the same thing, especially those that say to watch until Benizakura.

Well, I certainly wouldn't say anything like that. The show certainly starts to pick up quite a bit point but it' still good before that point.

 

[BGBW]

So when Namco re-release iDOLM@STER for the WiiU so can can get even more dosh will they include a bonus song of the children's classic "Jelly on a plate"?

 

[Crash Station]

Well, I certainly wouldn't say anything like that. The show certainly starts to pick up quite a bit point but it' still good before that point.

So how long would you tell someone to give before dropping it if they aren't enjoying it?

Akiba Blog Mascot Girl Gets Original Anime (Source)

Character sheets for "Nerd-chan," originally designed by Moetan's POP, also posted

An article (link contains images that are not work safe) on the Akiba Blog website by an unnamed "guerrilla PR man" announced on Wednesday that an original anime featuring "Nerd-chan," the website's mascot, is under development. Further details about the production will be revealed in a June 27 follow-up article, though a post by the website's owner insists that he himself did not actively pitch the idea for the anime.

The Nerd-chan (also known as Nerd-tan) character for the website was originally illustrated by POP, whose character designs have been used in titles such as Moetan and Kowarekake no Orgel. Two images of character sheets for the anime adaptation of the character were also revealed in the post.

hope y'all are ready for some nerd-chan

The D. grayman season one trailer on the one piece collection set actually makes this Allen Walker look really cool, and about exorcists? Is it actually good anime?

You'll love it, especially the second half.

They sell it. I've had it. I couldn't eat it just because of the colour.

It's black sesame seed. I also saw ice cream in this flavour.

Grey deserts. It's just wrong.

It's apparently called Kuro Goma Pudding (Purin)

 

[madp]

You'll love it, especially the second half.

The final 50 episodes of D.Gray-man are some of the finest shounen in existence, non-ending be damned. I envy those who can marathon it fully knowing what they're getting into instead of suddenly getting slapped in the face with the news that the series is ending right as it reaches its climax.

So I watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time again. It's still pretty good. I'm better able to appreciate the loose animation now than when I first saw it.

I forgot that Chiaki came back for Makoto at the end there, so that made me really satisfied.

It would seem that they've released the first trailer for Code:Breaker:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwX6i5dLBzE

Let me know how it looks; Bandai Visual apparently still doesn't want people in the US to watch their videos right away.

Here's a version of the trailer that's accessible in the US. Looks like a bunch of smug bastards.

He's likable because he doesn't.

"He's loud, brash, annoying, dense, idiotic, obnoxious, insensitive, etc., etc. "

-Aladdin usually sits back and observes shit because he's a boss and he knows that speaking out of turn is rude.

-he's not brash, dude is just good.

-not annoying

-perceptive lad

-obviously intelligent

-deeply sensitive to the plight of his friends and the common people

He also likes boobs. Luffy is like, asexual. +1 Aladdin.

Sounds good.

Doesn't it cover the full Japan bit? Probably for the best it ends there since that's around the time the series hits its peak before taking a one way trip into loony town.

Yeah, the second half of the series covers the Japan arc, Noah's Ark arc, and the

arc. I've been told by manga readers that it does indeed go off the deep end shortly after the anime ending, so a non-ending has its advantages in this instance.

I was on a group trip in Japan and we were having a set dinner and this lump on a plate arrives in front of us. Everyone's first response was basically "what the flip is this?"

The waiters response? "On, that's desert". Very helpful(!) I think about three spoonfuls were eaten in total amongst all the guests at the table.
