Only a show like this can have an episode titled: The Melancholy of Thanksgiving in June and not have Thanksgiving in it.

Also,
40.
My heart.

Do you guys also skip OPs/? I always skip em after the first time I watch but always watch the EDs everytime OPs > Eds generally speaking!
I only skip when marathoning. It is a sin to skip the OP and ED on a weekly basis.

I've never understood the popularity of AKB0048 in every respect.
It is entertainment.

Space Brothers 20

Oh come the fuck on. I knew that ending was coming, but come the fuck on.
If you hate the pacing of Space Bros don;t watch Kaiji.

Maybe the tears will cleanse his vision and he'll see the true beauty of Big O!
Who knew that that one comment would get under everyone's skin. He doesn't seem to regret it though.

Kokoro Connect ep 6

This is truly summer season underrated show!
And to think we all initially dismissed it as a K-On clone before watching it. I still stick by my opinion that episode one was so-so, but I'm glad I stuck with my three episode rule.

I seem to remember you watching AKB 0048.
You make that sound like a bad thing.

Space Brothers 20

Yep, of course it'd be Nanba to set everything straight in the last few minutes.
I wonder how well the other two groups faired, especially Makabe and Teshima.
Either way, it looks like they'll finally be leaving the sealed environments next episode.
Group C is my favourite!

Just caught up on SAO, the first anime I've watched probably since TTGL.

It's a little silly at times, but the concept is just radically appealing to me. Video game designer and all that.
To come back to anime and end up watching SAO. How tragic.

Tell that to lemmings.
But they are so happy when they reach the end of each level.

That's because it is.
GAF does not need to know what you call you Mr. Peter Chet.

Banana.
This episode sure was bananas!

The Olympics are over, and we still have more than 8000 posts to go! Someone miscalculated!
Don't forget the...

Please, don't forget the Paralympics! A very important multi-sport event.
I'm glad someone remembered.

Hyouka - Episode 17

That was good stuff. 6 straight episodes of fun shit, intriguing intrigue, colorful designs, character studies, and a worthy finale. If only all the arcs were like this one. I'll leave the final words to one of the characters on the show:

Just as awesome as I thought it would be. Kirie focus episodes are the best, but that's only natural, since she is the best girl.
Glad you finally got to this episode and it met your expectations.

Get your butt on K-ON thread. But yeah glad you enjoyed the movie. I have only just finished the series and watched the movie myself and really enjoyed it too.
Why? Honest question.

You can click the post # in the right hand corner of the post for a direct link.
Also [post=######]text here[/post] is neat way to link to posts.

They're trying to make me watch the show. They're gonna have to try harder to win me over.
I give it a thumbs up though I wish they'd focus more on the choir aspect to be frank.

Still has the whole faces issue.
Looks like a pape...

Problem solved.
That's the problem with catching up with threads. All the good comments are already made.

Also, someone needs to find this sign!

The start point on the K-On London tour!

I don't know what Namori is celebrating, but damn is it cute.
Celebrating that it's another YuruYuri Monday (Tuesday in Japan).

And I finally caught up with the thread.

An episode taking place on my birthday, eh?

... Why is the
rain yellow.......

Things are getting good in
the bedroom. Meme is setting up quite the love triangle or whatever shape you can probably make out of 5 people in due time.

Also have some food porn.

Magic Kaito - 7
It's quite comical how different in tone Magic Kaito is from Detective Conan. It's very stupid and very silly and greatly profits from it. Like, why is Hakuba wearing a Sherlock Holmes get up? It doesn't matter! And then there's, you know, real magic, and stuff. Akako speaking to
Lucifer
? Sure, why not. Also, the new OP and ED are.... nothing special, but very plot-y. Almost unsettlingly so. Mystery girl in the ED makes me sad.

The contrast between Kaito Kid in Detective Conan versus Magic Kaito is quite interesting. In Conan, which is from Conan/Shinichi's perspective, Kid is always this cool swave thief who's usually in control of the situation he's in (barring one or two exceptions). In Magic Kaito however, things go wrong all the time and he has to figure out ways to get himself out of sticky situations in often times a comedic fashion.

So good. :D

I am a huge k-on fan, but deservedly so. Wolf Children is an amazing, amazing movie. I can't wait to see it in a cinema.
 
Smile PreCure! 26


Ugh, what the hell happened to Majorina's significant upgrade?! Oh well, this was your fairly standard festival episode full of the overused cliches but with a Candy twist.

next week brings the old people moe~
Just like what the current precure learns during the fights ... lost after the end of the episode
Don't PKers have red health bars? I also heard that PKing them results in no penalty for the killer. If that guild in so infamous they should have taken the opportunity to kill them there and then. Lets watch as they regret their decision not to kill them then come a later episode.
Yeah red bars indeed , unless you twist the rules and use a medthod to kill that doesn't label yourself as the killer.

Except in some cases , pk are put in to a prison like area managed by the "army" another guild of players . Some pk leaders were killed. as shown in ep4 many players doesn't want to kill for revenge but to stop them from doing bad things.

Can you post a link? There's another movie's box office I want to check...

Eh, I don't know about that. If you compare their earlier battles to what they're consistently doing now, they seem clearly much more skilled and effective.

The only part that was frustrating like that and repeated week after week was their inability to not use their useless beam attacks against the Blue Akanbe.

This episode fuck my mind over and over multiple times. Let me get this straight...
The fairies want Watashi to make more sweets by cloning her, she refused thus fairies exploited the loophole by bringing in time slipping which will involved her past and present and future selves to make sweets for the fairies.
Goddamn, those fairies are such little bastards.
 
And speaking of Kokoro Connect... the series seems to be confirmed for 17 episodes, which goes up to and also includes the 4th volume.

Which means either we're getting BD-exclusive episodes, or web-streams for the last arc. Great!

That seems like an awkward number of episodes, I guess each arc is a volume?

I saw some Hunter × Hunter discussion a bit earlier, so no better time for a new poster for the Hunter × Hunter: Phantom Rouge film:

Whats happened with Kurapika's eyes :/

bravo. what a wonderful conclusion to a fantastic arc.

Oreki is a boss.

Satoshi's excitement is still memorable, third time seeing.

What I want to know is,
were the bananas causing the time travel, or were they just a way to make her fall and lose her memories?

In which we learn more about Kuu, Rakka finds a room, the weather sucks, and crows continue to be assholes.

Winter is coming.

For a show that has taken things so slowly, I was surprised by how quickly events developed in this episode.
Kuu's fading halo
paying off before the episode was done made the events surrounding it much more surprising. Some great music also helped.

This guy right here is an asshole.

I don't think it's coincidental that
the raincoats look like monk's robes.

This episode really injected a
sense of mortality
into the setting in a way that builds off of some of the darker moments from early on. It's very effective. I'm looking forward to next week in a way that I never have before.

The show is about to hit its stride. I think you'll appreciate all the revelations when they come. Its a fascinating show. Very, very unique.
