Funny enough, they actually have a page in Japanese, so I assume it's known as a place for Japanese tourists to go to.
You know, I just realized, even though BGBW hates the red phonebox, maybe they actually found a red phonebox somewhere in this village and used that for photo reference. lol
Well, as much as even I want to rag on some of the BRITISHNESS! of it all myself, like the Morris Minor or the Extremely British duvet cover (with it's incorrectly rendered Union Jacks), it's kind of hard to when some of this is based on actual reality, as far removed from my own British lifestyle though it might be.
That said, you're right that it looks like Fosse Farm does a moderate trade in Japanese tourism, which makes me wonder if they're deliberately playing up the stereotypical Britishness in order to give tourists what they're expecting, which'd kind of make Kiniro an exaggerated take on an exaggeration.

Hah.
Well, even in England, I assume the idyllic English village is something that exists only for a select few and is seen as "quaint" if you are living in somewhere like London or so forth.
Then again, we did get that version of England in the K-On! movie, so this is really the other side of the coin I suppose.
That said, Croisse was basically Paris porn, so I'm sure they went out of their way to play up what the Japanese think "England" is supposed to be. The fact that they trailed her for a day to find out how she baked scones is probably an indication of their Anglophilia. lol

So at first I was thinking; "where'd you get that book old timer? Cause you're kinda reminding me of that priest in Gurren Lagann."
Then the episode takes a slightly more lighthearted turn.
Oh noes, she stumbled upon an anthrocon!
Then the episode takes a really fucking depressing turn. I'd expect that kind of backstory to be in some kind of college novel. I mean holy crap!
That last scene before the ED was another shocker.
One would expect Kino to take out her gun when she heard what that soldier had to say, but she didn't. Her mind must have been in the same state as mine was to react.
My mind is full of so much what from this episode that I can't even think about it properly. I gotta go clear my head and watch Railgun or something.

Well now I know why Paperlink64 tacked on Spinning to the title, because Sailor Moon's new stock footage has so much spinning, that it would make a PR firm jealous. I mean damn, even the name of the attack and the new rod born from love (totally child friendly) has the word Spiral in it.
Anyway, two things about this. For starters, Nekonell is a pretty cool Daimon/MotW. I mean its body is made up of puzzles, and they take the opportunity to show that off whenever she takes damage. That is pretty damn cool.
Another aspect that I liked is
when they removed the Pure Heart from the victim of the week, she was blue, which drives the point further that when its out your heart, you're dead. Which they should've done last episode. But I guess it would've made kids even more upset, but they got the point across that Rei died for about 2 minutes.
Anyway, the mysterious duo that shows up
will be anti-heroes I guess due to their agenda to get talismans from a maiden's heart as well as the bad guys, but they do save the Inner Senshis
.
Hope you enjoyed today's sexy. EDIT: Mamoru's shirt has the word Earth on it. Symbolism!
Okay, I'm about to watch Railgun for the first time, but I never watched Index. I've heard negative things about Index and more positive things about Railgun.
Do I NEED to watch Index before Railgun? Or is Railgun more or less a separate side story?

I've been rewatching Bunny Drop lately, and I can't help but notice how idealized Rin is. She never has a temper tantrum, or gets herself dirty, or talks back to adults. She's uncommonly mature. It stands out because the other kids, Kouki and Reina in particular, do behave like kids of that age with all their immaturity. I wish Taku Kishimoto hadn't been stopped from putting in more of his personal child rearing experiences in the script, as that would have made it feel more authentic.
So this was in the enjoyable zone. Not bad, not mind-blowingly awesome, but still pretty damn good.
So lemme wrap this setting around my head. Big city of 23 million, super awesome crime fighting organization with magical powers in said city. Simple enough.
Whoa whoa! Looks like this show has an eye for the :sdburton button!
O_O This little sis character could teleport INSIDE you? That sounds like one of the horrendous things you would find on deviantart!
Annnnd our other MC's main power is using her hand and a coin as a gun. Yikes.
You know you're doing good when your two main characters are likable from the get-go.
So wait, would this show technically count as a Mahou Shoujo?
Watched Mouretsu Pirates as the first show from the suggestions. I had already seen about a third of it, but apparently that was just before things started getting really good.
Dat :SDBurton, was not expecting it--well,
the princess and future-first-mate getting attached to Marika in a very-friendly way
was within expectations, but a certain couple was not. Lawd.
Yacht club president doesn't hold back! Also Marika going "thanks for the meal" while watching them make out in front of her the second time cracked me up. SDBurton levels nuclear.
Appreciated the effort placed into forming the setting, which isn't uncommon for space-heavy shows, but I always like having a well formed setting if the show is going to dabble in slice-of-life.
I thought the plot heavy stuff for the final arc was fairly silly, but at least it made for nice final battle material.
It was a pretty fun and entertaining show; nothing amazing, but I'd definitely be up for another season of the cast's antics.
Eh, 4-5 hours watching, and the writeups aren't too much work. I sat through 33 through 38 and the movie today. Besides, I've gotta be awake to hatewatch SAO tonight....

Was kinda meh. I'm not one of these people who dislike it because there wasn't enough Kurapika (not a big fan of her, plus Killua is my favorite character), but the writing was seriously off.
The big scene between Killua and Gon felt like it was written by some fanfiction writer. Oh well, at least we got some Hisoka.

To be fair Kid got raised in unusual environment from the start, She only live with his "Granpa"? Kid like that that live far from mother figure usually act less spoiled, because don't know much about being "cared", and have much more thing to act for your own early. its what I experienced anyway. I live mostly with my aunt since I age around 6 year old, while theoretically she replacing my mom that working.. its just different, so I just mature faster than most children.
I bet Rin in scenario like that already got used washing her own dish, clothes, and everything else.. so I think its not unrealistic to see her like that considering the circumstances.
If the writer want different experience to tell.. he must have different scenario, the kid must from more "normal" scenario.. have proper parenting experience and got split or something like that.
Previous eps had guys in uniforms that sort of hinted at some sort of cohesion among Galactor. Berg Katze does his best Scooby Doo impression in this one what with that costume and riding around on a demonic biplane that transforms into a rocket.
Premise was kinda bad but acknowledging Galactor as superior tech and using Gatchaman to infiltrate one of their production facilities played to the show's strong suit of superhero ninjas.

It has Shirashi Ryoko voicing a female character which is always a noteworthy mention! Aside from that, I got tired about 4 episodes into it so I've no idea. Everyone appeared to want Not-Lelouch's dick though.
If you're talking about the "golden stuff" I think you're talking about, then...uh, I have that fetish! But then I have quite a few fetishes.
Brown stuff is taking it too far though. I hate it when a perfectly good doujin decides to go there. Makes futa doujins look positively acceptable by comparison.
That was probably the best episode in the entire franchise so far. Yes, even better than Bake 12. I didn't think that was possible. And with Hanekawa of all people.
Wow, some high praise for this latest episode. Feeling pretty hyped to watch it now.
(I haven't actually watched episode 4 yet either, but that's because I'm vaguely trying to get through the Kizumonogatari novel first. Which I am enjoying a ton, for the record.)

In Index/Railgun world, "magic" is a distinct and separate thing from the superpowers caused by "science". So if anything, I guess they would be "kagaku shoujo".

...is what I was going to say, but a little Google searching reveals that apparently there is ambiguity on this issue. Sigh. Not this again. Still, the evidence for Kurapika's masculinity seems to be decidedly more conclusive than that for Shingeki no Kyojin Hanji's femininity.
Overwhelming circumstantial evidence aside, there's a scene in the series where Kurapika is disguised as a woman,
Chrollo
refers to him as such, and Kurapika tells him that he shouldn't be deceived by appearances. That seems pretty straightforward. There are also official guidebooks and promotional material that explicitly refer to him as male, so it's safe to say that the female-Kurapika theory is non-standard at the very least.

I wish that Rin not behaving enough like a small child was the single problem Bunny Drop ever had. That said, I thought the idea was that Rin's unusual maturity was because of her unusual circumstances forcing that on her? Like being raised by her gramps and then having to make up for the areas where Daikichi was inept. I also thought the idea was that Rin wasn't supposed to be an entirely normal kid.

I read the Bunny Drop manga (yeah) very long ago, but
I don't remember it addressing that aspect of Rin in any meaningful way, with the exception of the last 3-5 chapters were suddenly she wants to fuck Daikichi. Tbh the whole second half of the manga is like a generic shoujo with a ~twist~ ending more than anything else.
I can't say the idealization of Rin bothered me while watching the show, which is not to say it isn't there. Perhaps the objective was closer to presenting vignettes about parenting in a nostalgia-tinted way, similar to how K-On!! depicts high school life. Of course Bunny Drop is a bit more rooted in reality but it's still trying to achieve that 'healing' goodness.
Wow, that was an awesome sort of horror episode. Hadn't had this sort of oppressive atmosphere since the first ep, I'd say. I hadn't really considered how claustrophobic the series has been out of necessity for the most part thus far either. When they started riding out onto the plains, it finally occurred to me just how neutered the humans would be in combat.
Holy hell at the art rants. Must have been insane to subtitle correctly.
And now I'm wondering whether it was Sousuke or Chidori's friend in the suit. The fighting skills + gun points at Sousuke, but that was a rather feminine voice coming out of the suit.
