Maturity, bitches.
Yuyushiki is one of those shows I'd hate to try translating. They spend so much of their time just making silly Japanese puns, or even things that don't really qualify as puns, they're just playing around with the sounds of words.

I imagine much of it would need some heavy localisation to make sense in English, but of course localisation is the antithesis of subtitles for things like this, since it's awkward to change too much when you can hear what they're actually saying...

Well to me it is all gibberish so the subbers could write anything and I'd believe it HA HA.

But the show also comes off as you being an outsider observing a group of girls making loads of in-jokes with each other. Much like an outsider looking at this thread (minus the girls part)
 
glorious twist! Female characters in Free!

Lucky Star 09

The cake buffet from hell.

Haven't mentioned this yet, but I am quite enjoying Lucky Channel as well.
I always wondered if those kind of cake buffet are only in japan.

There is nothing like that near where i live :(
And i certainly won't fall in the trap the heroines fell.
Yukiko > Rise > Naoto >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chie
Yeah ! Nakama !
Bailey's Rise < Kugimiya's Rise.
Fixed
Bailey version is quite good .....but kugimiya is superior.
Godannar 1

7 minutes in. This show is so CLAMP.

Godannar 1

Could this show BE more Clamp? It's a show that's basically about what happens when Super Robot Pilots get married. Apparently they have awesome robot on robot sex. Speaking of, having a pistol pop up out of the console directly between the bride's legs, then having her husband respond to her question of "what is this?" with "I'll explain what it does later, just grab onto it for now" is perhaps the most amazingly suggestive and hilarious thing I've seen in awhile, although her mother quipping only moments before "Every bride has to have her first time!" was also funny.

It'll be interesting to see the main romance in this show from the perspective of people who're already married. I fully expect a ball and chain weapon at some point.

I don't see the parallel with clamp.
Anyway Goddanar is a great twist on the superer robo concept.
Hope you enjoy it.

By the end of the show Lucky Channel becomes probably about twice as good as actual Lucky Star, mainly because of Shiraishi
 
Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day END
Also known as: the worst group of friends ever.

Well that was pretty enjoyable. I didn't find myself really getting super emotional with this one, though... maybe it's just because I'm sick right now and don't have a lot of tears to shed, or something.

Menma was pretty adorable for a moe Mary Sue, but pretty much every other character except Poppo kinda pissed me off. Glasses girl pretty much was a non-character, redhead was nowhere close to me liking her, crossdresser boy never improved, and our hapless MC had a pretty flat personality.

In some ways I'm glad it was only 11 episodes, but maybe if it was longer they could have at least had some more humorous moments, because the drama really wasn't getting to me.

I was really hoping that
Menma's reincarnation was going to be something a little more, I dunno, bigger than a flower, but I guess I totally saw it coming with the title.

Anohana receives a Polygon'd score of
0.9 Sword Art Onlines
or
0.4 Clannads
What even... yukiatsu was the best character there, jinta too, they had excellent development., history, and a great clash. Easily the most memorable part.

I actually wasn't a huge fan of Lucky Channel. Shiraishi was cool, but Akira just grated on my nerves. I really enjoyed the main show as well, so it was just content that wasn't the main show for me.
 
Tea time has just become another word for dinner really when kids have their fishfingers.

So true tea time is lost ?
A total shame.

Initial D fifth stage - 13
This episode was quite enjoyable . We had a nice shonen looking at a mature woman legs .....but we also had a race battle!
It was kinda cool ...if the production didn't decide to drag this.

Don't get me wrong i like explanations , i like twists and deductions since it was a first a "battle of intelligence"...BUT

AGAIN ????

I'm tired of seeing this house !

OMG ...the number of monologues with this house suddenly poping in view because they have to pad the best they can the story is overwhelming !
it's like they have a contract forcing them to show this FREAKING HOUSE every 6 minutes !
Monologue > discussion ( picture of 2 or 3 people talking )> picture of the house > back to the picture of 2 people talking > race.

We get it guys , you love this house ! Stop showing me this house ! If this house exist in reality , it 'll be stuck in the mind of the initial D watchers forever ! What did i do to deserve this !
STOP SHOWING ME THAT freaking house !

Seriously.
Everytime they talk, i'm gonna have a picture of that house in whatever angle possible.


STOP IT !

Well no. In our house we have tea time all the time as a time to have a cup of tea with a cake or biscuit, but as DiGiKerot just showed, it can also mean just having dinner so if you're invited over for tea expect a warm meal rather than a cuppa.

protip: sdburton (& co) might wanna checkout Blade Play

Or watch ICE... well actually don't.

Good to know.

I must go Faster !!!!

I'm enjoying this a lot. That fight was gripping, BUT Iggy is still a huge bitch. And hey, Jotarou finally outwitted an opponent! No, the Kakyoin fight doesn't count.

Chihayafuru is still the best Anime in long time

What? Did you just forget Mitsuru and Aegis. Also, though she's often forgotten:

There's a reason for that. PSP introduces a couple of cool S-links for FemMc. Rio isn't one of them.

I have always felt that the SEES team were superior to the Investigation team.

Really!? I like them fine, but they seem really shallow in comparison to their P4 counterparts.

Ms. Toriumi was the best.

Yes! Apart from the obvious stuff, a lot of the NPC dialog about her was also great.
