I believe Narag is aware of that and is simply reacting to the use of the phrase "rape cam".
Which, I must admit, baffled me as well.
The truth the FPS industry didn't want you to know. You're secretly playing the part of Mr. R. A. Pist.
da fuc?
The fact that this was given any sort of credence in here, makes me happy. Although, it makes me wonder what some believe the UK is actually like.

eps1 was the one from that silent cam dude perspective right?

That's true, it's not the word I would use to describe the episode.
Actually had no idea. The questionable phrasing didn't really help me figure it out either.
This makes more sense. Thanks.
Do I need to turn myself in to the local authorities or will they come for me?
The joke went on even longer in the IRC and it was only until I said that games on the PS3 still came on cartridges that people thought there may be a chance I was lying.

Now I'm kind of morbidly curious to check out The Idolm@ster.

Episode 1 of The Idolmaster was one of its better episodes. The documentary conceit was pretty neat. I will refrain from commenting on the ludicrously inaccurate description of it.
If it had kept it up for the entire series I would have been impressed.

first eps of idolmaster reminds me of eroge with the silent dude and how stuff were...framed?
And i've seen some craaazzy eroge. For science.
Actually might just be one of those pervert games.

Well, we did bypass the previous two generations completely. I was sad to see the back of my Megadrive.

I was hoping that it would continue. Alas.
Not that it would have been the realistic documentary on idol lives that I'd really like to see.
Watch FLAG.
Yessir.

Tari Tari - Episode 10
Not bad. Fun episode. Nothing much to discuss though. Although I was thinking to myself towards the end of the episode "hmmm, there's quite a bit of random action, I wonder if Okamura storyboarded this episode..." and lo and behold when the episode ended, he was indeed the storyboarder! Lol.

What an amazing episode. I didn't realize Houtarou was capable of such comedy genius. This sequence in particular had me rolling by the end.
I thought there was some really fascinating character development in this episode, in particular Houtarou's gradual realization of how different the world Chitanda comes from is. And of course it's all delivered with the typical Hyouka polish. Those comedy scenes I mentioned are aided by some great editing and framing. And the way the visible breaths are animated is quite beautiful, especially in an age when such effects are so often just CGI.

I don't think enough has been said about Hyouka's costume design. It's really quite remarkable how many outfits they design that properly complement the characters in specific situations while also being incredibly stylish in their own right.
A preview for KyoAni's next unannounced anime.
Surprisingly it only teeters around the premise with the character introductions.
Not enough Hinako though.

I like how the beam bends around him. Even if we take it as given that he's hard enough to bend steel, it still wouldn't bend like that.
The premise is the least of the shows problems.
Hyouka Episode 20
Y'know if Eru and Houtarou were that concerned about it, what they probably could've done was justhave one of them yell for help and have the other person hide so that people wouldn't get the wrong idea. Since the shed was so dark anyways the other person would be hard to see. I doubt whoever would be opening the door for them would be so concerned to think there would be another person inside to actively look around the shed too. Then once the other person was out they could come back or have someone else open the door for the other person.
Or something.
That would be incredibly risky.
If they spotted the other person, rather than just suspecting a romantic dalliance, it would all but confirm it.
You'll hate it.

Probably, I despise idol culture.
So do I but that didn't stop me from enjoying the series.

While mostly limited to Yuuya and Yui, I find the give-and-take character progression in this show to be surprisingly satisfying. Even as they develop in certain aspects, new foibles arise and old strengths dwindle.
Secret best show of the season.
Oh god. What have you done, Yui?

The fact that it wasn't interesting was what stopped me from enjoying it!
The best parts of the show aren't even about 'idol culture,' so I wouldn't worry too much.
Episode nine was my favorite out of the lot, and eight was great as well. I never could stand the more idol-y stuff, but when it was just silly, well-produced fun, shit was swell.
I feel the same way about Yuri Yuri, which I never watched for the yuri. Shocking, I know.

I wonder if Oreki gets a lot of his clothes from his sister--something about his outfit today, and some of the previous costumes (especially that cardigan/v-cut/manpurse combo he donned in ep4) makes me think that this is the case. I think the coat is a good look for him, or would have been had it been of a darker hue. As it is white stands out a bit too much and it doesn't seem like the kind of thing Oreki would wear, as accustomed as he is to avoiding work/attention.
Chitanda's innocent exterior hides an empress-level schemer. She has him totally wrapped around her finger. That feint with the obi near the end was just a total knife in the gut. In the game of love, Oreki already lost. Dude is done. He's going to be reduced to the status of a boy-toy standing next to her as she plots out a hostile takeover of some other Japanese farming conglomerate/family.
It was a fun episode and I'll be sad to see the series end soon. As worried as I was after the conclusion of the Festival arc, that the show would slip back into its more boring/mundane beginnings, it thankfully hasn't been the case.

Short hair is usually better. Not in the case of Watashi though.

About 90% of this episode is fantastic. Oreki / Chitanda are definitely the only reasons to watch the show. I really love post festival Hyouka. It's been the only actually good Hyouka.
Unfortunately the other 10% is Mayaka / Fukube. Good lord they are terrible, especially Mayaka.
She is even uglier and dumber in this episode than she usually is. Truly impressive.

Kinda wanna rewatch all of Hyouka now in anticipation of the final(?) episode.
