Blackhawks Won! Now I can go back to watching my anime
Anime's more important than sports.

Are you Canadian?
There's more overlap with sportsgaf than you probably think.
As much as everyone kind of rags on Reika in this episode for her stance on how to approach the student council and she's not "cool" or whatever, she was the exact kind of person I would vote for in student council elections.
Just like the bad end crew had their promises in the show, people at my school would come out with stuff like they pledged to get rid of homework or every room would get a candy machine etc. They didn't take it seriously and just saw it more as a popularity contest. While maybe they sounded nice, one would hope that people could actually see that their promises weren't going to happen or were just not practical.
Maybe the one lone person wasn't as cool as the rest but was actually interested in doing the job and could actually make some practical changes. Later though it got to the point that that one person wouldn't be there anymore and it was just a farce of silly, empty promises. At that point I just blind voted as it didn't matter anymore because the student council honestly didn't even really do much of anything at my school.
Basically I'd vote for Reika.
I'm just happy my city didn't choke and finally won something.
nah. I'm from Chicago.
When I was watching it I felt like everyone was hyping this episode as one where...maybe "mindfuck" wasn't the best term, but one where something major was going to happen. And there really weren't any major revelations, unless you count
just how loyal Homura was to Madoka, and the lengths she was putting herself through to save her.
Maybe I was confusing their posts as claiming it was a mindfuck when they were really just referring to just how good and well-done the episode was.

I keep telling people.
Your path to achieving Buddha Nature is just beginning. Watch the remaining films in this order:
Rebirth of Buddha -> Golden Laws -> Laws of the Sun -> Hermes: Winds of Love
We probably need something a bit quippier for our motto, then.
"It can always get worse"
I always voted for myself in student council elections.

Wasn't there that quarterback who was really into anime? Other than that I'm curious what else there could be. Outside the general bickering and gifspam that's everywhere on the internet of course.

Date a Live 6 (Intro)
Hot springs. Warm water that wells up from the center of the earth.
People have been entranced by them for ages.
They soak their defenseless bodies in their waters.
It is hard for anyone to resist their charms.
Well then...
Edit: I have to say this OP is rather good.

Mushi-Shi 12
I normally don't write anything about Mushi-Shi, because it's mostly a very nice and relaxing show and I wouldn't want to say "THIS IS AMAZING" in every post. But honestly,

I was totally not expecting them to go over Ginko's backstory. And bonus points that Nui is actually the narrator's voice too. Amazing episode all around.
I was actually on council twice and then had almost a sure shot of becoming
Maybe that's part of the reason why I typically hate seitokaichou characters in anime :lol I'm not even sure what the point of student council is in Japan other than to give the kids who excel at using bureaucracy to control other people a chance to experience this before they do in the workforce.
Someone in this thread was asking about Oreimo music that sounded Animal Crossing-esque. Was it perhaps this track?

That's so stupid, and yet not surprising.
opinion on Itsuki, Karen, and Reika. Maybe Rikka. Fuck Mana.
It's been a while since I watched the show, but I remember that realizing this was one of the cool things about the series.

Finished up Revolutionary Girl Utena.
What a fantastic series. Now I get to watch the movie tomorrow with the shitty awful character redesigns.

Kino's Journey 1
Always wanted to check this one out. From the outside looking in, I drew basic comparisons with Jing: King of Bandits. A quiet traveler in an orange coat, a talking companion, and a series of self-contained episodes, each set in different worlds with cultures and vices. But whereas Jing is very much a shounen James Bond, Kino's a silent cartographer. I'm so very interested in just how self-aware Kino is. The necessity of travel, the fear of settling down, and the inspiration from the bird in flight. It's pretty evocative, and I certainly care enough to delve deeper.

Quiet, you. Utena's got that hat.
You should run again for animegaf student council.
Ichukii - she's fine. Even if she wasn't old money she'd probably still win the position based on her charisma. She also knows kung-fu
Karen - Karen sucks
Reika - Reika sucks even more
Mana - the worst fictional character of 2013
Karen - Karen sucks

If I win, free tags for everyone!
What? its basically looked same, and Utena's hat are hot.
Ah. Well, I still like, or don't mind, student council president characters.
I personally never ran after see how elections were handled and then also finding out they didn't really do much or really have much sway in things. It just seemed more like a waste of time more than anything really.
Haha, I'd vote for Mad Pierrot.

Hayate no gotoku cuties - 11
I'm not even surprised.. given how the season was treated , having an original story for the finale was obvious.
I'm not a fan of the way the events unfolded however...but it was alright.

Oh hell naw. Watch the movie and see if you feel the same way. I was pessimistic at first myself but yeah, things fit.
Just run on an anti-Precure platform.

Best student council. And I'd like to think you enjoy the misfortune which befalls their president.

Much better than the first episode. Clearly fujoshi will be the ones to save anime.
Oh what a pleasant surprise. Hopefully it'll be better than Psychic School Wars. Time to grit my teeth through some commercials.
It looks better in motion and short hair Utena just makes more sense for a tomboy. Also the school redesign alone justifies using new designs.
I've always thought of it like an anime twilight zone with philosophy on top of the social commentary. Glad you like it since the first episode is relative weak compared to how great later episodes will be. Almost wish I watched it when I was on Neogaf so I'd have impressions for posterity.
Not sure he can run for student council admin!
True. As long as it doesn't involve panties, they're totally free of corruption.
Yeah, my attack machine would be unstoppable. I've already got Nafe's support, and she's got dirt on everyone.

NISA licensed it and is releasing it this year. (Don't expect a dub)
To be precise, this August!
I still need to preorder it.

NISA picked it up so you can at least own it but you can say goodbye to dubs now too if you had your heart set on that level of localization.
edit: Beaten like chiho's dreams of pairing up with mao.
If you lost, I'd at least try to bring your supporters into my fold by appointing you Secretary of Tits as consolation.
Chihayafuru S2 24
What an intense play, so intense Chihaya
I've found that some of the best parts of the Queen/Arata match in these last episodes though has been Arata's parents. I think it was really funny seeing them
What an intense play, so intense Chihaya
got sucked into doing some practice swings while watching.
cheer for the Queen.
