I rarely complain about too fast pacing but this felt like the director was forcefully tasked to pack this whole story into 90 minutes. Majority of time I felt like I was watching the movie on a 1.3 of its normal speed. None of the scenes or dialogue were given time to breathe. It did get a bit better in the end parts, or maybe it was me getting used to the breathneck pacing. This rushed feeling was only compounded by the laughable story (Shogun of the Dark ? REALLY ?) that amounts to a boss speedrun through 8 throwaway characters and a Dio ripoff. I did like the visuals during the 2nd or 3rd rescue of the tsundere chick but other than that it was plain awful.

Good thing you bring that up as I forgot to mention that myself. Besides being of little use anyways as you pointed out, I feel like Hibike! Euphonium would maybe profit from showing more from different characters' perspectives and not really having a main character in Kumiko, and I say that although she is my favorite character. I mean sometimes the show does this anyways and I tend to like it. Though I suppose the relationship between Kumiko and Reine is supposed to be the poster child of the show and maybe that applies to the books, too.
I'm fine either way I suppose, but the monologuing from Kumiko really isn't of much use.

Well there's getting inside her head, which is hard to do otherwise. I wonder if the books are from her POV.

Pretty hype though.
Yeah, it's pointless unless she talks about time skips. All the other times it's already pretty obvious what's going on. It kinda feels out of place too.

Yes.
Okay so this is going to be a weird post, hopefully its not too awkward but I guess I just want to get this off of my chest. Over the years, Ive always wondered if I was
broken emotionally. Id get emotional over the tiniest of things; Id irrationally hate those closest to me and push people that matter to me away. My joy would be huge and Id be super happy and excited, and at a drop of a hat Id be super depressed, full of anxiety and anger. The thing is, I always thought that this was normal, I mean Im me right? Of course Im normal
but I started looking into it more, and I think its fair to say that I have severe cases of a personality disorder. Emotionally unstable, if you will. I bring this up here I guess because, and I dont know if Ive ever given off this impression, but I think that in this thread that Ive said stupid, self-contradicting things. Maybe it's all in my head. I mean this thread is only about anime, so its not too big of a deal one would think, but I really do fear the notion of being abandoned, and being rejected and I guess with this being a community, I feel it more here.
They say people with such disorders feel emotions very intensely and I can see that being true when looking at myself. When I watch, play or do something that makes me happy, I feel really fucking happy, and when I watch or do something that makes me sad, I feel really upset. Its probably why I get so emotional whenever I watch something and why I love music so much. When people praise what I do, and be kind to me, I get a heightened sense of happiness, overjoyed and excited, but when somebody mocks what I do or say, it really does affect me more than it should. Im a joyful person, that when shown love gives it back in spades, but with every emotion being exaggerated, when I feel sad, I get intense feelings of both shame and embarrassment. Im insecure, attention seeking, unfocused, have no identity, and everything that I read about such disorders rings true for myself. Its scary, to see what is basically yourself in a nutshell, and realizing that in the end, Im not normal, and maybe Im just fucking broken.
What makes it worse is the idea that this becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy now that I have something to blame. Dont mind me, I have some stupid disorder. That I become more destructive, that I burn down more bridges and distance myself further as time goes on. I guess this has nothing to do with anime, but I guess the sense of community here makes me more scared of losing that, or becoming diluted, and forgotten. Ill probably regret posting this, and Im really sorry if this makes things awkward, just please ignore this post I guess I just wanted to apologize if I ever weakened this community with my presence or posted something stupid and silly or whatever. Im not a special snowflake, and this is just that, a stupid little thing in my head, but I guess Im just having one of those mornings and tomorrow Ill look back at this post and think wtf was I thinking. Why am I such an emotional wreck. I feel embarrassed writing this, but I guess in the end I feel a lot better getting this off of my chest, I just hope that I didnt have to do it so publicly. Don't treat me differently, I'm not crying out for help or comfort, just, maybe rationalizing why I say stupid, contradicting things as well as self-destructive things and I wanted to clear the air. Look at me, rambling as always, off-topic as I always am,

You know, that doesn't sound like a terrible flaw you'd need to be ashamed about or anything. Sounds like it ultimately negatively affects your life but everyone has their li' demons. Since you've come to some self-realization already, here's my advice: just try to actively take into consideration what you've just written and, at times, take a step back and consider if you're acting too irrational. Just about everyone has issues, major ones even. What's important is that you acknowledge and then actively work on them, as shoving them aside tends to be more comfortable for the moment but very problematic in the long run.
Oh, Trigger's upload is in SD, but PR sites uploaded LWA2 trailer in HD, go figure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs9U7pcrplE

Lupin (Red Jacket) 58
Jigen really has no luck with women. Even Lupin seems to meet a good one once in a while, but Jigen's two attempts at romantic stories so far end up being disasters. It was fun to see an episode with Jigen as the protagonist, although due to the overall more serious tone of the episode, when they did things like jumping to a moving train to a bridge it really bothered me, even though the show usually has much more ridiculous stuff.

Thanks, I guess things like this hurt my already damaged image of myself. Having said that, I will try to improve, I have to realize that running away from problems just causes me more pain in the end, and acting on impulse pushes those closest to me including people in this thread further away. Like you said, sometimes you need to take a step back. Getting hurt is a part of life so I guess you can't let it eat you up inside, I guess like the saying goes, it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Sorry for all of the off topic stuff, I'll watch some more Romeo tonight to make up for it

The funny thing is that you write that, but we all have those types of emotional reactions to things we see and hear. Sometimes these feelings are very strong, sometimes we laugh them off, however, they are your personnal feelings towards it. Your part of a community here and as long as you are not breaking any ToS or harassing anyone then I don't see it as an issue and I don't think anyone else would either. I mean, have you seen some of the outburst posts around? Some amazing anger gets thrown around at times, lol. Well, I made teh mistake of posting after ep. 16 of Clannad After Story since I had the site up as I was watching it.... That was a mistake as well, lol. Don't sweat it at all, below is some sound logic for you as well.
Sound advice. This DOES NOT make him a social/community deviant here at all. Recognizing personal weaknesses and seeking strength to manage and heal those weaknesses is important. If he feels it's a problem now and it is affecting his daily life, he should seek assitance from a number of places to help manage those emotions.

I'm pretty sure you can post the link with a NSFW flag on it, just don't embed the YouTube video, so there is no image static that may be inappropriate, lol. (just like your last you tube link posted, lol.)
It's not actually THAT lewd (well ok, it is lewd, just anime skewed my standards a bit), but
I think Amazon Japan recently removed it from their site, lol.
Everyone has issues and flaws, but some hide it better than others or are the sort that don't show themselves when interacting directly with others. Just look how I expertly conceal my hate for everyone... oh wait. IMHO being self aware of them helps a ton and decent people can be forgiving.

Heh we all have our flaws, problems and worries, don't let this change who you are or what you do, and certainly don't fall into the habit of shrugging it off and blaming everything that is bad on this. Before you do a self diagnose, check up with a doctor. The internet says a lot of things and none of them are true (like Hyouka not being good, wtf).

I don't think anyone here will reject you as long as you're not being a douche. Don't worry about those things.
As a side note, and I really don't want you to take this the wrong way but if all this is something that has a negative impact on your life it might be better to talk about it with people that are more certified on subjects like this. We're just a bunch of people discussing anime after all.

Aikatsu! Akari Generation 136
So Yuu can still be in the show after all, even if she's been an exchange student twice. Most of the episode was on Kokone and Miyabi trying to figure out how to get Ayafuwa Nadeshiko off the ground, and while Kokone seems like a tough person to work with, she's got a lot of passion for what she does. That's good in an idol. This season has been a mirror of the first season in a lot of ways, and this plethora of units calls that to mind... but it's also more intimate and friendship-filled, since there's no sign Mizuki is overseeing a master plan. Or maybe she still is from the shadows, I'm not going to rule it out.

Yes, Polygon Picture will in charge this, guess they won't do any Nihei works for a while after Sidonia s2.

The Pet Girl of Sakurasou ep 4-12
So this hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be so far since they have focused more on friendship than love. With that being said, with ep. 13 that cherry has been popped and I guess this is where it starts to go downhill. Best girl by far is Misaki, no questions asked, lol. However, this dude is going to crush one of them, which will probably be Shiina because he is a douche, well, at least you can see it happening because he has feeling for Aoyama as well... See wishy washyness.... I can't wait to watch the heartache and pain play out...

The most serious episode since episode 3, but in a different sense. The battle wasn't as humorous, and even the training, with all its absurdity in the board that Dora-tan created, was also taken seriously. It was an interesting change of pace. I know as much about Shogi as I do about mahjong (that is, not much), but I can appreciate getting into game theory and playing a game of wits. Since Piyo-tan reminded me of Harpy from Muromi, this episode helped deviate their characters significantly. While Harpy was always kinda happy go lucky (and eventually picked up some net slang), Piyo-tan is utterly serious, doubly so when it comes to Shogi.
A fine change of pace. Based on the preview, I'm excited for the next episode.
