I won't deny that
plus our tastes line up 98% of the time or so. I can tolerate shoujo/romance better than she can as well as some sports anime lol.
for some reason the sword princess will show up and save him again
nah, he will likely beat it to screw with rumors even more.

Yahari Season 2 Ep 10
This episode felt very rushed in comparison to the last few episodes but it had most of the important scenes animated so it was okay.
Danmachi Ep 10
This was an episode I enjoyed mainly because of how strong they made the middle floors seem like in comparison to the upper floors. Also Ryo hype

Thought the episode was alright until they decided to end it with a bang. Bell is becoming way too OP. He's on his way towards Onii-sama's power level!

it's not like the move didn't have a drawback. He had a powerful attack, but it left him in a state of being seemingly unable to fight anymore even though he was in ok shape before using the move aka it seems to be a double edged sword.
though it's a given by the end of the light novel series he will be more powerful than the gods.

Wouldn't be surprised if he himself became a god too. A god of the gods?

Well since it's from a LN he definitely won't even if their are a few exceptions. Plus it's your everyday fantasy harem so that won't happen.

Dont let me down Trigger.
The art isn't as good but I think its really charming nonetheless. Also, S1 is required otherwise you're going to be completely lost in S2.

For real. That ending!!
Rabbits, huh. Maybe he could actually try to mime being a rabbit and shoot for being the local version of the Centzon Totochtin. Being a divine party rabbit might help him score some. Drunken revels can easily lead to lewd.
He's totally fucked though. No way is the show going to let him beat one of the teachers this soon.

This idea is too good to pass up on.
But if he doesn't,

Alright so what would be a politically correct term for it?
Trans? Crossdressing?

Yui is officially out of the running now. Yuki is the front runner with Iroha a distant second. I will have to watch the episode again, but yeah, that train scene says it all..
also the speed at which she runs to th e restaurant to see Hachiman, the touch on the train that he did run away from.. yeah, lovers Ben his sis and her sis trying to move things along..
Calling them trans would be a bit of a stretch. It would imply they were legitimately queer gendered and they're clearly just played off as a kind of visual/psychological gag.
Shuichi Nitori would be trans. And, if you can get over the stereotyping, the Okama kingdom in One Piece. Saika is just a joke though, in the vein of Hideyoshi from BakaTest.
They're not though. Some like Hideyoshi literally don't have a sex. Others like Totsuka are by 'all accounts' male, but it's just some letters scribbled on a paper. They're purposefully drawn as females but they are still males. Many straight out aren't transexuals nor do they generally crossdress. That would be an inaccurate description.
It's not like Wandering Son or something.

I will support Yui until the bitter end.
In these cases, maybe something like agender or just non-binary would suffice? Not certain, just a suggestion.
In the other case... I can't really think of a generic term to give them, so it might be better to avoid labeling them all together.
I guess agender would suffice but honestly most of the time, things like this are flat out treated like a joke (in a few cases as actual traps). It's a bigger problem with Japanese culture, where they don't take things such as gender identity or sexuality seriously.
They exist as a certain type of 'female' or whatever in anime, so I don't see what's wrong with complaining about that particular type of female. I wouldn't say it's any different than complaining about a kuudere or yandere. It is a sort of fetish and writers/directors feed into it. I can't blame NaDannMaGoGo for complaining about it as I don't really find it enjoyable or entertaining to watch either.

Today, June 5th(still in the west anyway), is the birthday of member Hitokage.
Unfortunately he passed away rather suddenly last year. I realize he won't be able to respond to this message then but I'd still like to say Happy Birthday anyway.
For today at least, I thought it would be nice to reflect on the good memories he contributed to the thread rather than any possible bad memories or dwelling on the fact that he isn't here.
With that then, I'd like to give a big thank you to Hitokage for being one of the first to really encourage people to watch the show Ojamajo Doremi. I finally got around to it this year and have been watching it over the past few months. Currently I'm just starting into its third season/series called Mo~tto! Ojamajo Doremi. Asuka seems like she'll be a fun new addition to the cast.
I'm really enjoying the show and liked it right from the beginning. If it carries on like it has, then I think it will secure its place as being not only one of my favorite Magical Girl shows but one of my favorite in general.
I can see some of the similarities to Sailor Moon in Doremi that Hitokage pointed out, such as how Doremi and her younger sister, Pop, have echoes of the personalities and relationship that Usagi and Chibiusa had.
Sure, the shows not perfect and has some little quirks one can point out. As Hitokage himself mentioned some of the general premises of the show, such as in Sharp where you have fourth graders taking care of a baby, might seem a bit silly but they still execute on those ideas rather well overall. It's also nice that the show at least attempts to explore these more serious ideas such as the difficulty of raising a child, or one main characters family dealing with a divorce.
I see quite a few others in the thread have been watching and enjoying the show as well and I'm sure that would make him happy.
In PMs we talked about how I hadn't completed Super Mario Brothers 3 yet but I was so close and should give it another go. Just a few days ago I did complete the game and how I wanted, by going through every level of every world and not using any warps or items like the P-Wing. Unfortunately we can't talk about it more but I still wanted to give a quick "Hey, I did it" as I originally planned.
Anyway, thanks again Hitokage for telling me about some great shows I didn't know about and some fun conversations about great shows that I did.
Great post. It was down to the impression posts by Hito and others in AnimeGAF that got me into watching Ojamajo Doremi, which ended up being one of my all time favourites and is the one series I try to recommend to people as much as possible. I'm always happy to see people watching it for their first time and seeing them finding out how good that show really is.

Secret:

Love these two pics.
If just taken out of context ( red face and al) that Iroha pic is really funny and misleading.
That Yuki pic though. You don't get many, if any, like that. That smile and those eyes....
Trap is hardly accurate either by the same measure.
I guess in that case "androgynous" would be more accurate, even if it didn't fully capture the trope for characters like Totsuka or Ruka or Hideyoshi.
I'm... kind of regretting bringing this up now because I wasn't really hoping for this semantic debate, but I'd rather avoid using the term in that way.

No bro. Yukino might have a thing for Hachiman but does Hikki see her like that? He admires and idolizes her but thats different from having romantic feelings towards her. I hold dual citizenship in TeamIroha and TeamYui so either of those two would be ideal, especially Yui.
Just anyone but Yukino please. Even that crazy fujoshi over her. Please based Watari please.
Brother in arms
Yo this is dope
Japanese sounds great over hip hop instrumentals.
Iroha has that effect on people.
It's juvenile Japanese shit that I wish Japanese animators/writers would get over and either seriously address or not bother at all. It is making light of certain people.
I do understand it's a crappy word for actual real life transgendered individuals but it's such a 'trope' in anime, in how it's portrayed and dealt with, that I can't see myself getting upset over the actual nomenclature (for the medium).

That's what I'm thinking. Hachiman just doesn't seem attracted to Yukino in the romantic sense. He admires her as a person and the character she's built up by herself. Maybe that'll change in the coming episodes.

Sorry, I added the spoiler text a couple mins ago, but:
Hiki's acceptance of what his sister was trying to do by escorting her home, being touched on the train and accepting it, then the "Hachi" positive response to Yuki comments
Yeah, it looks like it's in the back of her mind now as well. Plus, he seams annoyed by Yui, like constantly now, even unconsciously.
I have been in camp Yui the whole time knowing she was not going to win, but I think the writing is on the wall now..
How far ahead is the LN for the show? Have they announced or mentioned an S3 at all?

Nisekoi: Episode 9
Haru is so lucky to be waking up to a sleepy Ichijo. Loved it.
Also liked both of these adaptations, pool one was funny and this was sweet because Ichijo can be so caring.

Well, it is more people have been banned for such word usage in the past.

I sure hope not. Yukino is definitely relying more on Hachiman now though I dont feel he's starting to develop romantic feelings for her. That interaction in the amusement park reminded me of the one Yukino had with Yui in S1 ep. 10 where she reached out to her and told her that she cant rely on her yet but someday she will. Hachiman will always be there for Yukino when she needs his help but I think thats different from developing feelings.
Where do you see that he's getting annoyed with her? If anything, they're closer than ever. During that hand puppet scene last episode, Hachiman basically asked her out on a date to the newer, quieter amusement park and that they'd go together "someday". He remembered that Yui said that she wont wait and would be making the first move. He didnt forget about their honey toast "date".
My understanding was that idiots were using it to describe actual transgendered people.
I don't think there is a good replacement word for the trope in English. I don't know how Japanese individuals describe it.
in this context? obviously it has no place in speaking about transgender folks but banning for how it was used here seems excessive
names2hard4you
Member
The word isn't being used in an offensive matter at all here ^ They are saying it is a "trap" because he is not transgendered, he is a boy that looks like a girl and is very soft mannered, making him seem like he acts like a girl too. I'm pretty sure that this is why he called him that, and not to be offensive towards anyone. I don't think it is ban worthy at all
Basileus777

Yeah, it's best to find another word. One less offensive and not likely to trigger a wave of bans.
That context could easily be lost or misunderstood.

What about bishounen?
I've heard the word otokonoko used for these kinds of characters in anime and manga, but I don't know if there are any others.
