It's not like he'll comprehend what he did when he sobers up. Besides, he can pretend in his drunken stupor that Shiny Luminous doesn't exist, so he has it the best out of us when you think about it.

It was a very human moment.

her mother descend in this viscous drug induced spiral she put herself into.
That's not too surprising. But it is one of the worst kept secrets on the Internet. The real question would be....will you feel it's a bad thing after all? I think it's rather silly, but not entirely unwarranted. Nor does it prevent me from genuinely liking the series, and not in the utterly restrictive fashion some (but not all) folks tend to endorse.
Leaving my own personal view of the details aside, the show will continue to be insane. That is a fact. But it is up to you to like or dislike that, as well as what to make of the rest.
No joke...I've always thought 23-25 more than made up for the stuff I didn't like about the preceding episode. They're the good kind of crazy for me.
I think that I should warn you about one thing: first season of Clannad is not so good (at least for me it was like this) - it's just that second one is much better (in terms of storylines). So, if you'll begin to think that it's not so impressive know that you're doing it for amazing second season.

Heh. "Orange boy".
I really liked this episode. Lelouch at this point is showing off but he has like the ultimate cheat code. It really isn't fair to the other team. Jeremiah's reaction to Lelouch's taunt was priceless. Although,
. And of course the name of the super, mega mech is called
. I want to see more of what it can do when actually tested.

he seemed to get toasted there (but ejected at the last minute...)

Ho Love Ru is super interesting.
Ho Love Ru is super interesting.
Watched a few more episodes of City Hunter, and it's honestly a hard show to talk about without going into specifics, because I feel like I've already said all that needs to be said. It's just so fucking good and consistent, from the voice acting which I just absolutely love to the characters themselves, their designs and the plots that they find themselves in coupled with the awesome soundtrack and great art style. Episode 8 deals with an old female acquaintance of Ryo's as she seeks for one more favour from him. She's hot, he used to love her but moved on, and now hes in love with her all over again, and thus this is what influences him to help her out time after time, with his reward always vanishing away before he can get his hands on her.
Episode 9 follows a gifted croupier who works for a syndicate she wants to leave, and hires Ryo to protect her as she deals her last set of cards for a game between two syndicates before shes allowed to leave, but only if they win. She has an ability to read cards to a near 100% accuracy, and this is why they are reluctant to let her go, and why the opposing syndicate want her dead. Probably the funniest episode yet, with many laughs and hilarious scenarios, all topped off with a beautiful ending that only a show like City Hunter is capable of dealing.
Episode 10 has Ryo looking after the daughter of a Yakuza boss after he owes them money, and she wants nothing to do with him! A leader of a school gang, she does everything in her power to get rid of him, but in the end maybe she's fonder of him then she wants to admit.
Another episode where Ryo is set up to look after a girl, only she's seventeen years old! Ryo doesn't want to babysit but convinces himself that she might be cute anyways, until he sees her. But what at first glance appears to be a 'standard student rep type', she appears to have more under belt than he thought...a leotard! Donning her leotard, and with her hair down, she becomes a vigilante of sorts at night, leaping from building to building, looking for an item she needs help obtaining, and where she sees Ryo as that help, he just sees is a flying tush. Episode 11 is another good one.
Finally episode 12, a young boy and his beautiful teacher, a revolutionary girl escape a war torn country and hires Ryo in order to protect them from the secret services. The young boy becomes a man as he slowly picks up the habits of Ryo, as Ryo tries to get him to do his dirty work, which includes taking photos of his teacher and maybe even getting him her panties while they stay at his place. A strange episode where the man after them resembles Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Overall a bunch of great episodes, and my love for this series never wavering. Mokkori!

I respectfully disagree. While some of the Fuko arc is so-so, everything after that is done really well. It's a great build up that gets you invested in the characters. After Story is really good because it's the big payoff on the foundations laid by the first season. The building of the
Tomoya/Nagisa slowly falling in love is really great to watch.

Maybe someone can fill me in on the details behind certain sorts of censoring in anime.
I was watching the first couple of episodes of Triage X, and there are various scenes with nudity. They happen to take place in areas that are dark or steamy and as such the details are obscured by steam or heavy shadows. That I get. Now, in one episode(the third, I believe) a guy gets a sizable portion of his arm cut off in a decently lit room and a giant black circle appears from nowhere to cover the dismemberment. In earlier instances of violence the show does do certain things with camera angles or effects to lessen the amount of detailed violence you can see, in spite of how much carnage is taking place. So I was left wondering why they did nothing of the sort in that particular instance with the guy losing his arm and just went with the black spot on the screen.

The show's ok, tho. I like this Arashi guy.

I think that smart girl ark is not so touching too and that gimick
with her terrible musical instrument play
I think the story about MC's sister was in sedond season, right?
Honestly, I wouldn't even watched Clannad TV2 after watching TV1 if there was not a lot of praise for it.
But, anyway, it's just my opinion.

Training arc. Not sure if Akama inner conflict was needed in this episode. The battle is so good, especially that caligrapher girl horse ink.

Gintama BEST GIRL is back
Welp, best girl has glasses, so there's no reason for Sa-chan to exist anymo-
Ohhhhhhhhh.
Also, the metaphysical discussion about To Love Ru felt strange for some reason, if only because it was parody but not really parody.
Still, the whole "hide your porn" thing basically belies the age of Sorachi. Although, I suppose doing an episode about hiding folders on your hard drive probably isn't as exciting to write about.

You should check out the movie version of Plus down the track, I think it's the superior version, it also really elevates a certain scene... Though I do miss hearing After in the Dark the ending theme.... man feel like watching Plus again... best macross is best.

The show inside the show features a group of female pilots from various nationalities fighting in Joint Fighter Wing like a female version of Area 88 or Strike Witches

This is from Shirobako. It's the main characters from the anime cosplaying as the characters of the anime they were making.

You have no idea the kind of face I am making at you right now.
It's in previews and at the start of the episode. Although it can be bad when applied to storing anime on say, Plex Media server.

That's very different however, once I've started an episode of course I'd know what its called
I don't want to know what an episode is called if I browsing MAL just to look at a certain show I'm not even sure if I want to watch for example. I'm finicky about things like that, going as far as to avoid knowing how many OP and EDings a show has etc.
