Yes. Momiji Binboda, the goddess of poverty/misfortune.
At least he didn't watch 12 episodes of Dusk Maiden.

Hyouka 11.5
Using a clever system of projectors, mirrors and silly string I managed to make the image for this vaguely watchable. Then I took this footage, squashed it between two slices of bread and then viewed it on a GameBoy Camera.
Vast improvement if I do say so myself.

Started Rinne no Lagrange for some reason.
Madoka is a pretty likable MC so far.

Snap a use for the GameBoy Camera!
Indeed that is the best way to put it. While I do find that there is some intrigue involved with jobs they take on, the meat of things is the interactions of the characters and their individual stories. The Esla/Lauro situation is an excellent exposition on how messed up the relationship between handlers and their little sisters can be taken to that particular extreme. The other thing I really like about the series is the astute difference between each handler and how it shows off a very different environment for these girls despite being in the same messed up place. Claes' story in particular I was quite fond of in that regard.
Good write up Jex. I enjoyed reading it.
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita 02:
It's not often that anime makes me experience intense existential horror.
This was brilliance. I am moved deeply. Please, God, don't let the purported staff downgrade kill this show. It would be ten times the tragedy of Sankarea. Years come and go without entire anime that stimulate me as much as these two episodes have. I can't even tell if I'm being hyperbolic about this or not.

I watched it and liked it. Though I wouldn't recommend other people to do the same.
Hyouka - 12
Amazing episode. After just watching episodes 7 and 12 I've been left with an extremely favorable impression of the series, one that doesn't overstay its welcome, gets bogged down in mundanities, or is boring. It's one of the best school festival episodes I've ever seen.
I think everyone knows by now that Hyouka is the best looking anime of this year, but it's still impressive just how good it is, visually. I think everyone is going to talk about the break-dancing scene but the whole episode was just full of great animation and art. It's always been the core strength of the show, but this time it's complemented by snappy, amusing writing that's not saddled with the punishment of yet another boring mystery. (Although Oreki overhearing the students talking about their missing orange juice is probably an indication of where it'll go.)
The episode is full of great designs, and it's the first time in the five or so episodes I've watched of the show that I laughed, more than a few times. Every time it transitioned back to Chitanda trying to move on after yet another distraction, or anytime Satoshi did something, lolololol.
I think I'm back on board, for now, as long as this festival arc lasts, anyways. What a great episode.
Also, the ED is amazing.

Episode is full of simple but effective touches like this one, where the contrast between the members of the club are shown via interactions and/or emplacement of background; Oreki hears no evil, sees no evil...

...meanwhile Chitanda's extremely amusing journey continues. And as usual the depth and detail of each scene is lovely.

I did not know that. I was under the impression that F/Z looked much better than Hyouka.

I guess I like the stylish visuals of Tsuritama over what Hyouka sets out to do, but Hyouka is definitely up there.
Same.
I enjoyed it but I totally understand why people would hate it.
Luckily the rest of the show is pretty great for the most part.
Nah, not even close imo. Both are great looking shows but Hyouka's attention to detail is on another level.

Don't take away the only good thing from Hyouka.
You don't like its music? The voice acting?

It's like someone accidentally decided to make one of those manga flawful's reads (okay, this covers a lot of manga, but you know the ones I mean. The weird ones) into an anime.

But they've already made Nichikou so I don't know what you're talking about.

Arcana Famiglia 02
Oh my. How lewd.
Yeah, they are really getting all into that tarot card business. Way into that. Really into that.
That trollish cat. This episode was pretty dull, the forced introduction didn't help, the more explanations about everything made it more boring added onto the looking for the cat.
I'm not even sure what's going on next episode, since the preview was basically random words tossed together. At the very least, it does seem that this show isn't doing the one guy every episode like UtaPrince, but does mean this show has no idea what to do then.
Give us at least a training arc or something. This isn't a JRPG so there's no need for NPC quests!

Time to get some manga recommendations from him, apparently!
Yep, Tsuritama style is very nice and all, but Hyouka is far better. Hyouka is pretty much best looking anime this year, no contest.
What on earth is that? That looks pretty amazing.

Ask in mangaf and you'd get a lot of recs. If you want weird, I say try out Abstraction and Fourteen.
Yes, Mad Pierrot, come to the manga thread so we can show you why Fourteen is the best manga ever written. It will change your life.
I told you the cat was the key. This show doesn't sound appealing in the slightest.
It's a Promotional Video for a light novel.
The really awkwardly-shoehorned in power explanations are one of the worst things about Arcana Famiglia. There'll be a conversation with a new character, and that new character will latch onto any tangent they can and say something to the effect of "I had a wonderful spaghetti dinner last night with Debito and he brought a molto molto fantastico vino, which I probably shouldn't have drunk because MY ARCANA IS THE TEMPERANCE." It's often laughably bad.
I kinda disagree. Hyouka really has the color thing going for it but that's moreso due to the difference in types of shows the two are. Hyouka can really spread its wings because it's a much lighter type of show. Using a similar color palette for F/Z would be beyond wrong and just idiotic. I also think Hyouka edges out FZ on design just due to the raw detail in Hyouka.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. Was hoping that was a preview for a tv series.
