Rei's expression is creepy.

 

[kayos90]

Not just "some of", they had the 2nd and 3rd highest totals overall -- the only character to get more votes than either of them in round one was Kanade.

Yeah. I'm surprised the KYH actually ended up destroying by such a large margin. It's crazy. I knew Asuna was going to win by a landslide but I wasn't expecting the same for KYH.

Okay, a few things. One, Saya, stop singing. You're singing the same fucking song every time except you're slightly changing the lyrics based on what happened that morning. It's boring.

You monster.

 

[Regulus Tera]

You monster.

He will regret those words by the time he's done.

I knew someone else understood my pain.

I've never seen Blood C but how can anyone hate Nana Mizuki singing?

 

[kayos90]

Is Vividred some dumb ecchi show or is it actually worth watching?

I have two figurines of her plus another on preorder for a reason. KYH is amazing.

You cannot!

It's about pseudo-mahou shoujos defending the world from some robots from "space", and it also it has butts. So really it's both.

Those aren't hotpants, they're underwear.

Guess again.

Underwear is worn under something else.

They're underwear on top of underwear. Or bikini bottoms.

Usagi with the life lessons.

This episode was pure :firehawk Makoto.

Spoiler

Just an osananananananananananajimi? What a lame cop-out. But I guess it's fitting that he gets friendzone'd.

Adding to that, ntr shenanigans and siblings turning incestuous. Filler arc is delivering with the fabulous.

loooool

Spoiler

Tsukikagenonaito. You suck! Usagi almost got killed right after you left! Bring back Tuxedo Mask!

P.S. Is it me or did they add extra sound effects to Usagi's transformation sequence?
P.P.S. Otome no Policy > Moonlight Princess > that other song

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

That's how Strike Witches worked, but everyone referred to the second underwear as pants. Which is why it was marketed with "They're not panties so it's not embarrassing!".

The gentlest giant. Just let her in.

ASTOUNDING.

I'd think having bulges showing through your pants would be pretty embarrassing, unless it a sexy nightclub or something.

What I'm saying is I like mai waifus classy not trashy.

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 20

This was a better show before Beltachika showed up. It would be okay if I could ignore her, but her being in EVERY OTHER SCENE makes that hard to do. The only redeeming quality she has is making Kamile into a better character by allowing him to voice our opinion of her.

Anyway, this whole Four thing should end soon, I guess. We're talking a massive human rights violation going on here with the Titans literally holding her memories hostage. These Titans guys are kinda slimy, it would seem. It'll be interesting to see if Four meets a similar end to Stella.

 

[jgminto]

Sometimes I think kayos is some sort of sentient robot that was designed to question and learn to adapt to society, but with the 90th model, the learn function was damaged in production so it simply questions everything in an infinite loop.

"Servicing" yourself with a broom is pretty trashy.

"Well we'll always have our differences of opinion, right Zach?"

I should really play that game.

I think it's a reference to some of the themes Nakamura wants to taken in the show. "Crowds" suggests density of humanity, and in the message from him about the show, he says that he wants to explore the themes of humanity being able to visualize our hearts on the internet, and the pros and cons of this future we are approaching. Even though we're able to visually express ourselves online, one person cannot hope to understand everything in the world, and it is impossible to specialize in everything and become an expert in all fields. He wants to see if it is possible for the visualization of our souls on the internet to lead to something good, perhaps to tackle this limitation of humanity.

It's kinda contrived in how he says it, but I get the feeling that he's trying to tell a story about the positive aspects of mass communication and "crowd sourcing" of thoughts and opinions on a social media level. If that makes sense I guess. I dunno.

Are the characters in your above post going to be fulfilling the usual Gatchaman roles or will the show be kinda tangential?

 

[BGBW]

I got the first Cu-poche series figure today, the delightfully adorable Haruka. It's somewhere between a Nendo and a Figma/Revoltech, I guess. I really like the proportions and the posability - one nice thing is that the base has a metal inlay, and the figure has magnets in it's shoes. It makes it way more stable than most comparative figure series, at least without getting as annoying as the stands on those Heartcatch Chibi-Arts figures.

I've got one of these on order to, but I have to wait for the other two items I ordered off of AmiAmi to ship before I get it. The rest of this month needs to hurry up!

Yep, I fell down that hole head first.

 

[Tomat]

OMG. I can't fucking read.... I suck.

Honestly, I didn't even know it was a real word until spellcheck.

I rely on that thing way too much.

Those were awesome, indeed! They had this regal je ne sais quoi that not only dignified the school, but also brought back fashion to the school uniform. Other examples:


The Evangelion. It's probably the most realistic, jumper and all. I never liked the colour combination, though. It also doesn't leave much to the imagination. It's a pretty dull uniform.


The Bunguster. How sexy is that? So sexy. Look at the little slits by the side, allowing for better aerodynamics and helping the student freshen herself up when in high performance activities. If I had to save the world from the threat of space aliens I would not hesitate to wear this to battle!


I like the CLAMP, too. The tones of red and black make it stand out above all the rest, and the use of the tie even in the girl's uniform tells us that gender wardrobe doesn't have to be immediately discriminatory. It even has space for accesorising with the necklace/dog-chain thingie around the neck. I only wished someone wore their collars popped to see it in its full glory.
v

My favourite has to be the Heartcach. A simple one-piece brought to life by a vibrant red ribbon. It's elegant, but minimalistic. The 2.0 era of school uniforms!

Well, you've certainly thought about this question before.

I can't say I've spent a lot of time thinking about school uniforms, but I guess I would say the Haruhi uniforms are instantly recognizable.

Maybe they are going to crowd source the production. Lol

All 3 characters are in the Gatchaman team, but... I don't think it's going to be "usual" at all. The characters are not the same age, they don't have the same level of involvement/experience as Gatchaman, and it seems to be taking a much more modern take on the conventions of the franchise.

 

[Tomat]

You really should. It's my Game of the Generation.

I had to stop because there's something wrong with my left 360 joystick, and I tend veer left while driving, making it incredibly hard to drive anywhere.
