Why? He died drinking the cheap crap.
Oh man I've missed seeing Arjuna in the thread. It's been too long since we've put someone through the grinder.
Yeah, it's really just the bounce, but Nobuna's armor gets extra points for bucking the near-universal trend of female armor in anime having to be breast-shaped.
Yeah, this finisher was introduced earlier than its Heartcatch and Suite equivalents, at least. Just like any other Precure series the girls are bound for their first "our..........our attack FAILED?!?" in a few weeks so another upgrade isn't out of the question given the early intro for the Princess Forms. I wouldn't expect any upgrade to be implemented in a way that requires an entirely new elaborate stock sequence, though.

Yeah. It was a pretty good
death
Probably sound crazy but sometimes (the series and especially the movie) felt like a group of people created characters while another did plot/story with absolutely no communication between them.
Been thinking about the overall series since I finished it and im starting to like it more, though just wish it had more closure.
I think my other problem in hindsight is completely pointless characters

What the fffffffffffffffmind blown.
Gonna be awesome an awesome one here.
Personally, I'm still struggling to forget that Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito ever existed, and especially that I partook of its innumerable horrors, but that's proving exceedingly difficult to do when cajunator mentions how much he loves it about once every ten seconds. But seriously, fuck that show, fuck DEEN, fuck everything.
Eheheheheeeeee!!! It exists!

Show them who's boss, Sadaharu.
Nice episode about Sadaharu, his origins and stuff. This show can't resist making a joke during a touching moment either, which works well.

I see.
Because 1) it's easier and 2) they've learnt nothing from the mountain. Come to think of it, I still don't think I learned anything from watching Juna wandering around on a mountain being assaulted by insects for a half hour of my life, either.
It's hard not to be when the teachings of Chris amount to "you just don't understand my teachings, do you?" repeated over and over for twelve episodes.
But he was only doing that because he believed in her!
Chris is so kind.

Of course. She's just so perfect~
One of the best posts on the page. <3
As much as I like Irisu though, I like all the main girls really.
That just means more for me, Haha. Well, she still
has some friends like Chitanda.

A true connoisseur appreciates everything yuri. No matter what kind, every type has its own unique and delicious flavor that simply must be savored. And savor it I shall.

Tenth best show of last year. You are still on the bad episodes too.

Somehow I'm more put off by Houtarou's uncharacteristically flustered expression than the absurdity of the pairing itself.
Only if you count some questionable votes!
That does not seem out of character at all to me.
I'm going by the right list, the one I posted.
Given his confirmed "shy boy" status when dealing with Eru in uncomfortable situations, I'd have to agree.
He's certainly not immune to woman's charms, but full-on blushing? I don't think he could contort that gloomy face into such an extreme expression even if he wanted to, hah.
Too much energy.

This episode also taught us how to draw Gintama characters and the dangers of hostesses.

Perfectu Waifu Online 6:
This show isn't good. But it's a lot more fun than it rightfully should be. It's also the only show I'm following this season, so I guess by default I get to keep watching it. The twist was kind of dumb, the final confrontation was kinda dumb, and why did Kirito just let the PK guild members walk away like that? Well, at least there was plenty of Tsundere Perfectu Waifu this episode. I guess that's about as good as it can get for this show.

In that case, Eru is going to have a very disappointing wedding night.

Would probably be a similar reaction to this:
But yeah, oreki does pretty much just have 1 'uncomfortable' face.

The early episodes aren't even that good. Yukiho's episode in particular is agonizing to watch. Yukiho is by far the worst of the idorus by a wide margin, which is why she got the role she did in Xenoglossia. Somewhere around when Ryuguu Komachi debuts is when the show becomes really awesome.

They'd never get that far, Eru would get curious and they'd spend their wedding night trying to find out who stole a piece of the wedding cake.
So if I were to start watching, which episode should I skip to?
Don't listen to Unknown Soldier. Start at one.

I have no clue wth you are saying.
yukiho is the crybaby one eh?
Has anime ever done crybaby without making it painful to watch though?
hmmm...
don't think she counts though...

I already saw episode one when it was airing. I just kind of forgot to keep up.

Amir0x got banned? Wut? When was this?
Really the only episode you need to skip is 3. The others before episode 6 are pretty slow and mostly minor character development, and they get the beach episode out of the way early too. There are some pretty awesome scenes in the early episodes with delicious Iori though, which makes up for some of the slow pacing. The end of episode 6 is when Ryuguu Komachi debuts.

Well, there are just things that don't matter. Like, do people crap in Star Trek? If the replicator can make perfect food, then theoretically, there would be no waste to generate. Certainly no one ever has to relieve themselves at least. But the shows never go into it and really, it's not that important in the grand scheme of things.
It only gets derpy when people make it derpy. Like, in Star Trek, everyone is obsessed with popular culture from our past. From the years 2000 to 2200, no culture whatsoever was created or invented. Stuff like that is weird. But how do you even invent music that's supposed to sound like it's from the 23rd century? Hell, ask someone 20 years ago if dubstep would be a thing and they'd probably laugh at you.
My impression is that
her dad read the pamphlet, saw that they had weight restrictions, knew that she was too "big", and rather than just tell her that she was fat, tried to convince her to stop by being a dick. She then reads it herself and realizes that she's too heavy, so she tries to lose weight as quickly as possible.
As for the actual thing that happened. Honestly, anime is and almost always has been afraid to treat its characters like people with real foibles. So everything has to be melodramatic, or the stakes are so big that it becomes impossible to see the actual characters.
I mean, this is an episode about a girl who thinks she is too fat. That's basically it. On normal TV, it's almost banal, because even a dumbass show like the old 90210 had an episode where a kid played with his father's loaded gun and shot himself to death. Hell, they're even called "Very Special" episodes as a joke now. But contemporary anime doesn't even try to tell those kinds of stories, really. The closest that I can remember is Wandering Son and Aoi Hana, but even I find those problematic because of Shimura's writing. And hell, Intersexuality had to be made into a Jdrama because no one would pay for an anime about a person dealing with having a gender imposed on them.
Most of the time, when you have "girls who feel fat" episodes, they turn into joke episodes like this week's episode of YuruYuri. Because dealing with a girl
who shoves fingers down her throat in order to induce vomiting is too much for most people to think about.
I actually think this episode of Tari Tari was a nice compromise. It's something that happens, but she doesn't end up
in a hospital or being lectured by crying parents or whatever. Or at least, I hope that doesn't happen next week. lol Presumably any tears will be tied to her actual accident and not her one day of anorexia.
That Reiko Yoshida OVA Otona Joshi no Anime Time dealt with it the same way. You see the main character binge and then purge, but there is no speech or consequences. Her mother thinks "animals ruined the kitchen" and that's that. It's a perfect compromise between showing a different psychological problem but not necessarily being preachy about it.
Dont Listen to pizzaroll. Skip the show
Don't listen to Uchip. Stop watching anime altogether.
