I'm pretty over watching Yuru Yuri for the yuri. Although I am pretty pumped about the next episode.

You mean on their site? I don't think that's HD.
Edit: Hmmm, I might be wrong on the earlier episodes. I know the more recent ones aren't though. It could just be they're taking it from the blu-ray itself because I think Funi has released up to that anyway.

New episodes of Yamato already!?Oh boy, looks like I misread the PR about the IG Shareholders Meeting. The screening for Yamato 2199 starts at 13:30, but the actual meeting is on now?!

this is going to be intresting...
Watched episode 2 and 3 of Horizon.
Everything still makes no sense, but it's sorta fun to watch.

Sailor Moon was alright. Cardcaptors was more my bag, personally.
Is it trolling if I'm being sincere?
No they're just screening the earlier episodes for shareholders, and Izubuchi is a guest speaker. This is for IG Port's 23rd annual shareholders meeting. We just want to hear about the dramaz.
I was referring to Funimation's site and Hulu Plus.

Should be coming soon to their site since the next set goes from 218 - beyond, and thats dated already for either next month or the one thereafter.

Because it's better than GW?
You have the power to stop it.
It's called Guild Wars 2. Go to it.
Chet Rippo, there are some things that just shouldn't be said. Trolling or no.

I'm pretty sure One Piece was and still is mastered in SD anyway so it's not like it'd make a difference.

You are probably looking for an escape from bad MMOs. I'd reccomend SAO if you want something more on the nose.
Sword Art Online 8
That was a bad episode... But it still had enough MMO tropes in it to keep me hooked. And I guess it was interesting in a different kind of way. I mean, the first half was all about Asuna going back to the kitchen, while the second had Kirito going full-blown Gary Stu mode.
Next week should be good.

Not enough Yuri lately, it's making me sad.
Seriously how do you function? You're constantly playing, tweeting, posting on GAF... do you sleep? At all?

By never finishing anything.
The secret to NeoGAF
Of course I don't sleep.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I guess I've been doing it wrong. I make it a point to finish the games I play unless it's utterly putrid.
D: You need to sleep!
Sleep is only for sane people! It has no place here.
But if I did that I would own less games! Video games is about forming a collection of games that you've only played for 3 hours each.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I'm not sane, but I sleep! I really AM doing it wrong! >> <<'
I... I never knew. I've been logging hours and hours and hours into my games! ;P
I could stand to be... disciplined...
Exactly.
Gotta get more games. Finishing them doesn't matter, having a phat quality collection is what it's all about.
Are you even a real gaffer?

I... I thought I was! I... I don't know anymore... This.. isn't ... happening!! *cue Eternal Darkness craziness*
I mean, it's not a bad thing. It just means you don't have fake OCD that forces you to play 50 games at once and that you aren't terrible with your spending money.

I used to purposely run around with my sanity low so I could see the fun shit that happened.
I admit it, the first time the game pretended to freeze up, I was fooled by it.
RurouniZel
Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I get this really guilty feeling if I don't finish a game eventually, so I always try to at least get to the end credits, even if I don't get all the extras. I feel like I wasted my money if I didn't.
As did I. XD Good times, that game was.
Ditto, but I have accumulated so much guilt over the past two years that I've simply accepted it and now I barely get 5 hours into most of my games.
I get sad every time I think about it

So they actually bothered to have the Yuuki parents show up in an episode? That's crazy, though I can only imagine this is a once in a life time occurrence...
Rito sure likes to get stuck in other people's bodies and stuff. Then some more Kyouko goodness, this time she meets the other characters.
Christmas episode!
That would be Rito.

They didn't show them before? Guess they skipped over their introduction chapters.

Space Brothers 18:
Nice to get some Kenji focus. He's been out of the spotlight for most of this arc, but this episode gives him some great moments.
Mizoguchi continues to be a paranoid ass.
Mutta is also great. I loved
The arc is close to a finish now, and I have to say that I've really enjoyed everything up to this point. The focused setting and confined interactions have done a lot for this show.
I've gotten so bad about this in the last two years, but I feel like I'm improving lately. But my backlog is still way too massive.

That scene with him in the bathroom was really well executed. I felt like I was really in his mind, and his epiphany carried a ton of weight.
Mutta is also great. I loved
his random shouts and subsequent embarrassment.

They've talked about them and what they do before, even having Rito pretend to be his father for a meeting with Mikan's teacher, but this is the first time they've properly been there with them.

Revolutionary Girl Utena 9
wait wut
Number of fucks given about
: zero.
Also, I know I should have picked this up in the first episode, but it only occurred to me at some point during my interim between these last two episodes that Anthy's hobby is growing and nurturing the roses in her little garden. She holds the fate of the roses in her hands -- it's up to her if they live or die, and how tall they grow. And roses, of course, represent the duelists(amongst many other things). Symbolism.
This is what I get for watching anime when I'm half conscious.

Yuru Yuri ♪♪ 8:
As you would expect from an episode titled "Chinatsu Unrivaled", this episode was mainly about China-hime and her unrequited crush on Yui-senpai. I didn't actually count the number of times I heard "Yui-senpai" but I'm sure it was a lot. The karaoke segment took up most of the episode and was pretty much hilarious all the way through, only to be surpassed by Chinatsu and Yui's date which took up the remainder of the episode.
So, since this episode is about Chinatsu, let's talk about Chinatsu and why she's the best Yuru Yuri.
(1) She has pink hair. I like pink hair. Pink hair is cute. Given the choice between other hair colors and pink, it's clear what the best choice is. It's pink!
(2) She's actually the most lesbian of the 4 main characters. Her internal monologue is pretty funny during this episode where she almost questions whether having a lesbian crush on Yui is okay or not. But none of the other main characters are ever implied to really be lesbian in the way that Chinatsu so overtly is. Even Sakurako and Himawari, and Kyouko and Yui, and Ayano and Kyouko, don't actually seem to want to kiss each other (outside of Chitose's fantasies). Chinatsu, on the other hand, actually fantasizes about kissing Yui and even practices with Akarin back in season 1.
(3) Her personality is the most dichotomous and interesting of the 4 main characters. Despite being apparently the cutest (and looking just like a magical girl), she harbors the darkest thoughts of the group. Maybe that manifests in her incredibly frightening artwork, which we get to see in all of it's horror as the ED of this episode. It was actually partly in 3D too, which only compounded the horror in another dimension! Her inability to maintain the Mirakurun cosplay is a rather entertaining example of this, she can't pretend to be cute forever and eventually when the actor's facade drops, young children discover the truth behind the actor and the veil of innocence is stripped away. "Life is sour," indeed.
So, there you have it. Um, I didn't mean to write this much. This happens a lot when I have an idea and just start writing. This goes for other things I've been planning to write about here as well.

You think that's sick filth?!
Hahahaha.
Delicious cake.
I will say though, this is like NTR of that guy from last week. I guess it's neat that all these characters know each other in some way, but it also feels a bit too convenient. I wonder if the other guy wrote more love poems after seeing the girl hook up with this new dude anyway.
Speaking of which, they seem to be setting this girl up as the character in the next arc:
