I love the op, should rewatch the anime, the twins are the best characters in it, enjoy.
Might be. But I posted the first bit when I was only halfway through the episode.
I'm a big believer in the idea you can get a sense of the quality of a series very early on in, and it's a very rare series that bucks the trend and suddenly becomes amazing after 20 episodes or something like that.
CCS is amazing (and cute as hell) from the very first seconds.
It keeps being fantastic throughout, with very few episodes that you could call weak.
Now its episodic monster of the week type stuff, but its really fun and doesn't drag. Its a fast, easy watch.

I'm really not one to rage against the apparent atrocity against humanity that some people paint dubbed anime to be, but for CCS it really is a case where, once you've seen both versions, you realize just how extensively the dub completely changed the tone and pacing of the original series for the worse. And how unnecessary it all was.
Are you talking about Cardcaptors or did CCS itself receive a dub?

I think CCS is also a case where the script was the problem with the dub. I didn't mind the voices.
mind blown.
mind blown.
Cardcaptors is the dub. That it was butchered to such an extent that it might as well be a different show doesn't change that fact
No the voices are fine. The voices were never the problem.
Hyouka - Episode 20
Holy crap! That was GREAT! I loved the episode. It was totally non-standard for Hyouka, but the characters have developed to a point where a scenario like this is just so entertaining. It was funny, cute, and just totally enjoyable.
I don't think I've laughed so hard at a Hyouka episode since the start of the Festival arc. Sogood.gif

Suddenly, Samurai action! Suddenly, Juumonji as Saya-chan! Suddenly, Oreki's crazy shed destruction ideas! Suddenly, sexual tension! OMG!!!

This. I remember how blown away I was the first time I sat down to watch CCS with my best friend. She convinced me that I wasn't going to want to jump out a window.
It was like night and day.

They're the same show. Or at least they're supposed to be.

Couldn't they bust down the door movie style and explained their situation? Didn't miko tell them to look for stuff?
Teenagers...
Busting down the door probably better for papa's image then finding dead daughter with another dead boy.
Living people can explain. Dead people can't.
Think it was from a Dave Chapelle skit lol.

CCS is the original. Pioneer released a US subbed only version.
Cardcaptors is the blasphemy that most people know as the dub, and it was edited heavily to make Saoran look like a competing cardcaptor to Sakura, as well as eliminating the relationships between Sakura and Tomo and Toya and Yukito and deleting several episodes. In other words, it was complete bullshit and you should avoid it out of hateful spite.
I have plenty of first-hand experience with the various... components to Cardcaptors, believe me. :x

man, i love some of these shots from the ED. I'm still not seeing funky faces like some of ya weirdos :S
She was also in the musicals as Sailor Mercury.

That shot looks pretty good actually. Better than most shots I've seen from this show so far.
Hyouka 20
. This was a really strong episode I think, the character interactions combined with the setting and a traditional escape mystery of sorts worked well. The character art for everyone's outfits was beautiful, Chitanda looked amazing and Oreki was a boss with his coat on. Mayaka looked like ass, as Oreki predicted. Fucked up hair and her costume didn't even look good on her!
Kyoani is such a tease giving us those few seconds of samurai action

Makes me happy I watched an episode of Oda Nobuna before this episode. Don't have an exact reason why. More importantly...
Can't go wrong with kimonos. And with Eru to boot.

lol'd so hard at this episode. That dude's head got mindcrushed by the sheer awesome.

I guess we're now crossed back into a world where this show is good again. Coincidentally, the good episodes all seem to extremely fairy-centric, which is fine by me.
Interestingly, neither this episode or the last episode had the normal ED, instead both episodes had so much story material that the episode was still going on all the way through the credits.
As I said last week, this show has just happened to get good again, so watch last weeks episode and this weeks.
Also, I don't feel like they've ever established why this story is being told out of chronological order. It doesn't seem to serve any purpose.

Does it have to serve a purpose?

Maybe it's just one of those shows that you have to watch the whole show before you understand it.
Or not.
Or not.
Well that explains everything.
Bentendo is the best parody name for Nintendo. FACT.
Well that was the shortest morning catchup ever.

Well, yes, especially if the original text is in chronological order. It there's no purpose to it then it a wholly empty stylistic choice that just feels like pointless messing around.

It's certainly doesn't feel like it's travelling in any particular order. It doesn't seem to have any tangible benefits and it's certainly not altering what I think about the characters or the events. It feels a bit scattershot in it's approach.
I only bring it up because, well, the majority of the time stories are told in linear order. Even if you're just discussing an anecdote with a friend. It's the default way of communicating events and narrative. I don't mind breaking from this if that's the purpose of the text or if it's going to reveal something that changes your perception of all the events of if it cleverly informs you about character or something. Just messing with it for the sake of messing with it is pointless.
