I was going to do a ranking but it seemed impossible to rank them properly. I will have all the megucas.

Hentai Ouji 8
Another great episode that somehow keeps bringing back a cat statue. Also there was lots of adorable Tsukiko expressionless yelling plus all the other good stuff, this show is still best of the season.

They must be really dumb to still be in middle school.
Of course they are.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I just think it would have felt more like a finale if Episode 8 had been spread out across two episodes and a few more scenes showing the progression and time had taken place. ^^;
This arc is definitely over, and with only 7 more episodes I'm not sure how they're going to squeeze another arc out of this, esp. since the last 3 aren't airing right away.

You've watched plenty of shows subbed and enjoyed them so why is it a problem here? Stop depriving yourself, you deserve better Kirby.
Why do brides need attack and defense stats? Hilariously bridal designs were supposedly a regular thing in that card game. Shame you didn't post the best one.
Seriously, when did Madoka get so stylish? If I was a girl I probably wouldn't mind wearing that.
Shame there isn't a Blue, Rooster Teeth could've had a field day with the RvB references there.
Fun fact: In the movies they gave her more outfits because she didn't have enough costume variation in the TV series.

Yeah, IIRC, according to those familiar with the novel, the pacing has been something akin to atrocious so far this season, but what can you do. It's why I like to get more excited over original shows in general, because at least that way you know it won't be a failed adaptation.
Seeing characters in alternate designs (especially urban styles for me) is always so fun. I'd post some examples from iM@S or K-ON but my hard drive isn't connected right now and yande.re seems to be down.

Not surprising in the least, more designs means more merch! Also I take back what I said about best design, I didn't see the glorious mecha versions!
Had to hunt for a bigger version because the one in the article is WAY too tiny. I'd love to see the full size versions of these though.

My god at Red's voice. She needs to be a mute because she sounds horrible.
And at least, Yellow wasn't upstaged like Black was.

I thought we established that I'm a masochist as of the last OT, and I tend to watch dubs over subs if available (but I do make exceptions like the Jojo OVAs).
Somehow they keep getting worse. Why does everything have to be a gun?
Tokyo Godfathers
Really enjoyable film overall. There was some absolutely lovely animation throughout the movie and brilliant attention to detail in some of the scenes such as the cardboard homes. Shots like this were lovely and I particularly liked this shot. The two characters talking amidst a confusing scenery of gravestones reflecting perhaps their own arguments while in the centre, down a pure white avenue are Miyuki and Kiyoko.
I also particularly liked the sequence of scenes with Gin and the other homeless man. Something about it was reminiscent of A Christmas Carol in a way; He's acknowledged as a terrible person destined to die alone, meets an older homeless man who appears to be almost an older version of himself with the same regrets and outlook on life and ends up in a situation wallowing in self pity, wishing for the second chance which is followed by his "redemption" and reuniting with the rest of the cast.
Few things I didn't like/had qualms with though: there were some instances where the CG was particularly jarring. This scene here was fairly noticeable for it's crowds sliding down escalators with no distinction between people or when they approach the end. There was another scene where Miyuki is taken down an alleyway shown from her POV and it's a particularly awkward sequence of shifting perspectives.
It also seemed to go on for just the wrong side of long; every time it seemed to be wrapping up to a close it either got sidetracked or did a double bluff and kept going. I will freely admit this may be down to my notoriously short attention span when it comes to movies.
Finally, I didn't like the ending! This is more of a personal matter but I'm not particularly fond of
Things like that bug me and while I understand that it's perhaps done for a reason so people can come up with their own interpretation, I really don't like that.
So yeah, great movie, thank you for the recommendation! Most of my complaints about it (CG aside which can be forgiven since it was done a number of years ago) are mainly personal things which are down to me being a horrible person.

endings where the future of the cast is left unexplained. Miyuki encounters her father, Gin appears to have the winning lottery ticket which may never amount to anything but then what happens to himself and Hana? Do they return to being homeless as before? What are their motivations now?

Golden Boy dub is pretty good but you can go wrong with neither.
Dub is better because reasons though.
Did we watch the same Kimi to Boku?
Yes, but threw different lenses. One of them was totally sweet on

I was thinking... in Spanish we have the words 'cortometraje' to call short films and 'largometraje' to do the same for feature films, but we also have another that falls in-between for films with a duration of 30-60 minutes approximately, which is 'mediometraje'. So, what would you call it exactly, medium-length film or something like that? Is there any specific denomination for such a product?

Fun loveylovey eps. Her weird elf ears still confuse me though.
It was actually kinda boring until this marvelous scene happened.
Art in motion.
Even got a little lewd at times.
What are the games even about? just photography? Any dating?
I should get on this.

Oh man that expression is priceless.
"How did this happen Kyubey?"
"It's to help you fight the witches Madoka, otherwise you'd die in an instant!"
I can't believe I'm just discovering this now, a whole new world has opened up to me. So this is what it feels like to be years late to a meme.

Yeah, I just thought being able to use time skips was a bit of a cheat. Especially when we have the "Sunset" trilogy do that exact same thing but over (somewhat) real time.
And I figured that was what he said, because that was the safe bet, but it's also possible that he'd be like
life sucks, I'm out!
Well, they are trying to cram 6 books into a season.
Feet are gross.

HAHAHA HOLY SHIT THIS GUY
I love how the first episode immediately sets out the parameter for his character: overexcitable, quick learner, total perv but with a sense of morals.
At first I thought the dub mumbled a bit too much, but I gotta love the overenunciation:
"a B-lack B-ra!"
"I hear the sound OF A WOMAN SCREAMING!" and his face turning all Cromartie

We're only 5 episodes in, but we have some delicious cheesecake being displayed here.
Chihaya continues to be a stop having fun character though ._. I still don't get why scary stories are told in the Summer time though, it was never explored for me and I would like that explained.
Ritsuko, have a dri--- wait Ritsuko is a minor!? What the fuck is this shit!? My reality was shattered once again.
