Hikaru no Go ep 1
Really awesome so far, Hikaru is utterly hilarious and perfect skill level for the start of these anime and I can already see myself behind him and cheering him on . Akira is of great design and must stick around, I need more of him and Hikaru playing as that was really well done and I think they may definitely get along well together, well if he does remain relevant in the context of the plot. Internal dialogue and then the scene when the realization was made, its all so dramatic both comments, as well as music, and the visuals. Sai and Hikaru are also really funny. Strong start.

All I'm saying is furries can frolic somewhere else. The land of pure maidens shall not be compromised.
Also on the banish list: interdimensional lovers and their pancakes.
So I take it pony on human yuri is out?
Ponies are categorically banned too.

Don't believe in yourselves or what not, believe in the mcguffin/plotarmor baby!
Reminds me of the super baby in zhp.

Love transcends nations, races, and species.
And then SDBurton was a pony
.
Yami had the most yuri ending in the history of anime and SDBurton's whole philosophy of yuri is a sham if he still refuses to accept this.
No one here is questioning the yuri-ness of Yami though.
But some yuri is more yuri than others.
SAA! UTAOU!
I seriously just got out of bed, grabbed my earphones, and went to YouTube just to listen to it again.
I love Tomorrow Song as much as the next guy, but
the spoilers in it were really dumb, classic Toei level. Other than what you pointed out (Moonlight being with the team), there's also the shot at the end of them in Super Silhouette form, way before it appears in-show
a commercial for the bow weapon right before the episode. The first episode in which it appeared! Which it did just in the nick of time to save their asses dramatically

saa! sakasou! kokoro no hana!
genkiyoku!
NAFE & SIRYNX DON'T LOOK loooooooooooooooooool
I bet he wouldn't have noticed the Super Silhouettes had you not pointed them out in the first place
Hito only has interest in the Yuri Stables though.

I have some suggestions if you want to expand the survey or improve it, or whatever.
- It might be helpful to have yes/no questions first, to make it clearer what sort of preferences you're filtering, and getting the person replying in the right mindset for the written replies.
- The written reply boxes should be multi-line text boxes instead of a single line field entry. It makes it easier to see what is being written and encourages more detailed replies imo.
- I dunno if it's a deliberate aim, but I don't quite understand the focus on anime as the medium. It's pretty restrictive and a poor representation of the subject matter imo, because of how narrow the medium is in terms of audience appeal. Entertainment in general might be a more worthwhile area to look at.

It's a puzzle as to why everyone in this school is excited over the crossdressing pageant.
It's a puzzle as to why everyone in this school is excited over the crossdressing pageant.
It's a research paper meant to present and show my findings. A simple yes and no would be alright but more data is better so that's why I didn't start with yes or no questions first.
I didn't know there was an option for paragraph text on google survey. I fixed it. Thanks.
It's deliberate. The professor wanted an extremely small and and focused scope rather than something broad.
Thanks for the input.
Clearly I have underestimated Japan
What I meant was, it should start with yes/no questions for those which basically have a yes/no answer, so people are guided along to know what sort of preferences you're trying to filter, then you expand on that with the more detailed questions. Surveys are kinda psychological in nature, and starting off with a question which requires a detailed answer can sometimes result in lower quality answers because people don't want to put in so much effort immediately at the start.
It's like how examinations usually start with a MCQ, before going into essay questions! Pacing.
The best part about that, if I recall, was
Ana managing to win the pageant despite not actually having signed up for it

You don't have to worry about that.
In K-ON! terms, he's Mugi.
Qwaser taught me well.
You don't have to worry about that at all. Seriously.K-ON! - 01
Here's hoping there will be more Ritsu x Mio moments in the future. Hype!
There's no way you would end up jumping ship from the S. S. Mitsu. Yui on the other hand I could see going anywhere.
Puni pu...K-ON - 03
I can't blame Yui for slacking off, homework and studying for exams are such a drag.
...dammit...
And now you know why I think Mio is the best.K-ON! - 04
Holy shit Mio I was not ready for that level of cuteness. And intimacy in the hot spring?! Aasdklasdfadfhlkas!!1!1!!!!
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 22-26
That was a pretty damn good series. As someone who's never really gotten into the JoJo franchise before I'd say it was a good introduction especially as it started right from the beginning. A fun cast of characters and some highly entertaining battles. As much as the low production values did hinder the show, you can definitely tell that the studio had a deep passion for the series and did as much as they could with their limited budget. I wish the finale was on par with Ep. 20 as far as animation quality goes but the sheer ridiculousness of the final battle scene was just so awesome as it kept escalating til the very end. So glad they
.
What a wild ride. Definitely gonna check out the OVA series when I get the chance.

played "Sono Chi no Sadame" as the final fight came to a head

We are officially friends now. I fuckin' loved Bodacious Space Pirates so hard. Been delaying starting the novels actually.
Now that the newest issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday is actually on sale in Japan, the Silver Spoon anime site got a new coat of paint, along with some character key designs:

bad gameplay lol
I want to see a SOL anime with an English teacher played by an actual native English speaker. That'd be pretty cool.
Hmmmm... need to see how they look in animation. Hope we get a PV this week on noitaminA or something.

There's also the clean key visual:
It's what I began with, aside from some brief time with the Capcom game, and now I love Jojo.
Gotta be a cute girl.
Gotta also represent what I hear is the crushing depression of being used as a human tape recorder depending on where you end up. Probably that can go to her hard-partying JET friend the next town over

Considering it's the first 2 parts of the series, I would say so.
In another hurrah for low-hanging fruit, I guess Photo Kano appeared briefly on AoD here in 'blighty overnight.
After last week's episode, pageviews on the Japanese Wikipedia page for the Maunder Minimum spiked from 40/day to over 400. It's since tapered back off though. After today's episode, the page about Soviet dogs that were sent into space jumped from around 60 views to almost 300.Yuyushiki 2
Words of the wise.
It's going to be fun seeing what Yuyushiki topics actually get the viewers to look them up.
Vision of Escaflowne 2
So I kind of like it when in a mecha anime, you're shown, even if roughly, how the pilot operates the legs of his mecha. I think G Gundam had the best idea on how to work a giant robot's motions, because sometimes these mecha do things that I don't know how two joysticks can operate, but there you have it.
The other thing I like is when some manner of limitation is posed on what the mecha can do. It's all well and good for Kira to do the Hau-Mat beam-spam every once in awhile since the Joy of Kira is that he is so ridiculously broken (and Rau still puts up a fight!), but for the most part, its better if the hero's special powers are reserved. This is true, I feel, of ALL mecha shows. If the hero has amazing powers, his must be limited and the villain must have greater power or at least equal power than his for tension in the fight to be maintained.
It's the problem between SEED and Destiny. In SEED Kira became Jesus, but since Rau had been established as a ridiculously competent foe prior to that, it allowed for tension to remain in their showdown, if not during Kira's curbstomping of the mook armies (which, as KHII proved during that 1000 Heartless battle, can be fun on its own since those are just mooks.) Then suddenly Shinn kills Kira. Which is ridiculous and the plot has to bend so much for it to be made possible that I will not respect you if you did not see that for what it was: the writer forcing Kira to lose that fight. Because there's no other way this guy who took out the final boss of the last season could lose to a second-rate pilot like Shinn, especially since no Mega Man rules are in effect and Kira didn't lose his powers before that fight.
Even if it is Super Robots, this rule applies. GaoGaiGar finished defeating the Zonder, and the Primevals NEVER were shown to be weaker. He had to get a super power and a half to win that. But the introduction of The Power was neither sudden nor cheap. It was built up to, and had a significant impact on the plot. Contrast this with the bullshit Setsuna pulls every other episode in 00 where the writers make up a new power for him every time they can't come up with a legitimate way for him to win a fight. Trans Am is not ever explained and is never built up to. Same with teleporting. Same with space flowers.
What I'm getting at here is that, since Escaflowne is Fantasy Mecha, I accept going into this that there WILL be magic. Having magic powers is fine. What is not fine is never explaining anything before or after, and treating it like a crutch, as 00 did the Trans Am and Aeolia Schenberg's plan and in the movie being an Innonvoantorostkdoskfer. Since this show is so highly esteemed, I expect there to be a very small amount of BS in the fights.
That said, Bargus blocking a mecha's sword with his own was freaking awesome.
