This is why we can't have nice things
I wasn't focused on the industry for a while until like last year, cut me some slack

The scene was more comedical than anything else, you must be a pervert if you that was something else!
an example how the DVD/BD version is less lewd.

Never nude.
People were reading too deeply into the symbolism of Mami's empty room, so when SHAFT changed it was like "Oh yeah, it's meaningless, we were just too lazy".

Okay episode. Still can't decide if I like the MC or not, but at least he (tried) to stand up for Yui against the blond. Yui herself, is starting to seriously grow on me after having the talk with her friends and started sleeping while she read the novel. Yukino as well, since she's still providing those truth bombs that everyone can't deal with. I believe the new guy was supposed to be the comedic addition to the cast but everything he did honestly fell flat. Doesn't really help that there have been others like him before who've done the same, but were actually funny.

I love how this lead to the enormous amount of HomuHomu fanart with cat ears.

Tokuchi is just Akagi without the banana head. Literally.
The last movie will confirm she was a cat all along, and they never left Mami's apartment.

Now, I don't think it's necessarily fair to say that fans were reading too deeply into the background art there. Under normal circumstances that would have been a perfectly coherent reading of the text. However, it failed to take account of the fact that SHAFT pay absolutely no attention to background art. If only they'd taken that into account they wouldn't have attempted such a reading!

Because cats are cute.
True, true, I was just being snide as usual.

Valvrave The LIberator
and lol'd and lol'd...
--The following contains major spoilers!--
I wasn't really a big fan of the first episode of Valvrave. For a show that's just starting to air and nobody has seen yet, it honestly felt more like my third or fourth re-watch as it just felt so generic, by the books and predictable and I haven't even seen that many mecha shows. Most of the plot points or twists I could see before they happened and weren't really any surprise. I wasn't convinced at
.
Then we had a mecha that seemed to be powered by a Staples easy button and turned its pilot into a Gundam God once a certain something was confirmed. The fight was interesting enough to watch but the ending was hit and miss.
I haven't seen all of the second episode yet and will have to go back and finish it but it started out entertaining enough when the twist from the last episode was further explored and I thought some interesting things could come of it. The rest fell back into that okay or generic tone though and the plot twists or revelations just felt more like dumb to the point of being dumb and not entertaining.
Then we get to the third episode and move over Kira Yamato because there's a new space Jesus in town!
Okay, so
After that he
Then he
I think this show might be the real Saints Young Men with all the miracles I've seen performed so far, especially in episode 3.
The show actually has a pretty big all star cast of seiyuu which is nice and they apparently want to make the most use of them as possible. You have Yuki Kaji doing not only the voice of the shorter guy with L-Elf but also a nameless student of the school, a mega sports celebrity and another nameless person working on the bridge of the ship who you don't see. Three or all of these are even in the same episode and he doesn't even change his voice for whatever reason when I know he can.
I don't think the show is really that great but when it goes into full stupid mode it can be pretty entertaining so I'm going to keep watching to see if and how they can top themselves.
"Where did all these explosives and missiles come from?"
"It's Valvrave Marge. It doesn't have to make sense."

the death of Shoko
Then we had a mecha that seemed to be powered by a Staples easy button and turned its pilot into a Gundam God once a certain something was confirmed. The fight was interesting enough to watch but the ending was hit and miss.
Haruto getting killed was a surprise but then there was the whole scene about giving up his humanity so any tension was kind of dissipated immediately as I knew he wasn't dead. I honestly was expecting something more to happened when he confirmed the selection but when it didn't I figured it would just happen later. When he died it was more of a "Okay, this is where it's going to happen then. " Not to mention he was in the opening. Unless that was all a major red herring on the part of Sunrise all for a quick post credit sequence in the first episode. Which seemed way above and beyond even for Sunrise. The vampire thing was then the next actually surprising thing.

Okay, so
L-Elf is mocking the guards for taking fifteen minutes to figure out that he's missing. His escape route is on a lower floor than he's at but there's explosives set up on these lower floors. When he got lower down apparently instead of carrying on and escaping he decided to double back and plant some explosives only so he could re-escape, this time blowing up said explosives. Apparently you need to make a flashy exit and people need to see it even if they're going to die as a result of it.
After that he
somehow disables a ship with a smoke screen.
"This ships sensors are for display purposes only!"
"Aah, the radar is only painted on!"
"This ships sensors are for display purposes only!"
"Aah, the radar is only painted on!"
Then he
locks a door and sucks the guys out the airlock or blows away the wall with more explosives he made up out of thin air. Some single ships come in to attack him but luckily he has his Enemy Skill Materia equipped so he can cast Magic Missile and have them come out of nowhere to blow up these ships. Just in time to meet with Haruto carrying out his master plan he mentioned near the beginning.

It's a direct parody of the original Precure; could work.

Ended up watching it twice, but it was intense both times on the day it aired and on today. Izuru was awesome and the rest of the team does still show continuing signs of doing better than they were said to do while in their school days. I just hope it leads to more results like we saw in episode one.
Still enjoyable and they are making me care for not only all of rabbits but potentially Rin-Rin too.
I think one flaw are the panels and displays. After watching Space Battleship Yamato 2199 these past few months, I guess most displays and panels just look rather unpolished and lacking much detail or splendor.

when she got all emotional there in the middle of battle and the her relief when she could actually save Izuru, was done so well

OreImo S2 04:
.... the first 5 minutes were fucking painful to watch.
Ria is a way better imouto than Kirino.
.... the first 5 minutes were fucking painful to watch.
Ria is a way better imouto than Kirino.
The average number of hours/week spent on AnimeGAF was 17, with a median of around 10 hours -- relatively unchanged from the earlier survey. About half the respondents answered under 14 hours/week, and there were five people who answered "“too many to count”.
The results are about what I expected; most people seem to feel that the thread moves rapidly, but not to a point where it’s unmanageable, with almost 80% of respondents agreeing on a rate between 6 and 8. Some people provided detail on their response here in later questions.
Parts 2 (post preferences breakdown) and 3 (open answer questions) to come later.
The most common combination was a desktop + smartphone, followed by laptops only, then a tie between desktops only and laptop + smartphone. Everybody at least used a desktop and/or a laptop. Two people said they used all four kinds of devices regularly, but neither of them were also one of the 3DS/Vita people.
These two are self-explanatory. The split between people who mainly used a desktop/laptop at home was about the same as the normal desktop/laptop split.
The scale was 1=exceedingly slow and 10=exceedingly fast.

My thoughts exactly.
Within these five minutes, there were more panties and nudity than the entire first season.... And there was very little to begin with!
Suicide is never the answer Regulus.

Gotta sell dem Blurays?
It's a joke-sub someone made when people in /a/ complained about lack of subs.
I figured there would be a lot more people that browsed mobile.

Garbage show for garbage people. The pandering this episode was just unreal! Though I have to say I'm enjoying the relative lack of Kuroneko so far. Almost makes it bearable.

First 5 minutes was quite Pandaring to say the least, but at least he has another girl to add to his harem.
Also obligatory Engrish segment.
Next episode will be creepy and there hasn't been enough Kuroneko.

Well that was bad. Did not care an ounce for either of the two popular blonds and they really ruined the entire show the moment they showed up. If the episode had just concentrated on Hiki and Totsuka new found friendship, this could have been much more enjoyable since Hiki's inner monologue was actually good for once.
