The dub is a travesty.
It's weird, because they were doing great dubs a few years back, and I'm not much of a dub fan at all. Do they have crazy high turnover rates or something?

That actually could have been a pretty good, emotional episode for Reika, choosing whether to stay with her friends or go study abroad. But...they have that magic bookcase that can take them anywhere in the world. Even if she went to England, she could visit her friends whenever she wanted. I mean, time zone differences I guess, but come on. Hell, they may have actually even gone to England in that one episode! What gives?
Joker was actually great in this episode. Him psychologically manipulating Reika and pretty much breaking her without even fighting her...man, I'm left with the same feeling as last episode: why couldn't they have had him do this stuff earlier in the series?

sorry i'll illustrate your post :
But joker was doing pretty much the same thing in ep 22 .. that's one of his good points and what make him an awesome character.
As for the "DRAMA" that something the writters forgot , notice how the teleporting book plot device wasn't used that much.

Huh. And it's a physical release as well. Guess I'll buy it seeing as it's only $30

I've re-watched this show several times and I still love it. I really hope it gets a new season because the OVA's they showed recently were amazing.

Well, its kind of obvious where this is going,
Well, its kind of obvious where this is going,
especially with the next episode's title. Peach is going to fight Eas/Setsuna, and defeat her. Setsuna will become the fourth Precure. They wouldn't have had Miyuki unable to "get saved" by Akarun otherwise.

People thought "the baby" is bad have never watched Smile Precure. We have 2 Pokemon in this one! Spread through a much longer show!
But I see you grasp the main problem with this episode, which is pretty much the king jewel of what is wrong with Smile Precure (that and lack of actual character development).
heehee. Not really variety but certainly lots of fun and cute characters. Shes almost goddess tier.
I...I dont?
It really is astounding just how badly this show handles that bookcase. They introduce it in the first few episodes, and I thought that the thing would work so that anywhere there was trouble, they could get to quickly, as a way of avoiding the whole "villain conveniently attacks area where they are all the time" thing. But they ended up doing that anyway, so they let it rot for 25-30 episodes, then use it for that one episode. And then they other forgot about its existence, or tried to pretend it didn't exist for this one, because its presence single-handedly ruins the emotional impact of this episode. So in the end, what could have been a cool element of this show ends up only being used to travel the world in one episode (that I admittedly enjoyed), only to destroy another. Just plain botched.
Yeah, I think I am going to finish. Don't get me wrong. I did enjoy it from Episode 1, but yeah, it seems I am at the point where it becomes to be ''good'' Also, As you have pointed out, I should just stop nitpicking the whole Time-travel nonsense and go with the flow.
Glad to see I am not the only one who thinks its bloody rubbish. as you have said they used to do really good dubs, first when Funimation re-instated itself as the ''saviour'' of Anime back then. Baccano arguably had one of the best Dubs but yeah, long time since I have listened to a dub made by Funimation-joint, and its bloody ear abusive.
Moretsu Pirates/Bodacious Space Pirates Episode 12: So we finally see the end of the race and indeed the end of this arc and I'll be honest this just felt weak. There are a couple of reasons for this, the last leg of the hunt really lacked tension and emotional content. Moreover, they kept key information from the audience for way too long, and indeed I feel I have only get a fragments worth of why the
was so important. It is just bad storytelling and that is rather unfoortunate since I was digging this arc for the most part. Well, that aside everything is resolved and it is back to Sea of Morning-star, though it seems we care keeping the princesses around becuase of reasons.

Watched the first ep of Watamote last night. Pretty amusing...I'll probably continue once I've finished my rewatch of Madoka.
Thing with time travel stories is that since the laws of time travel are not known or are implausible to begin with, it's easier to take liberties with how the laws in the story work and to overlook inconsistencies. Same thing with "parallel dimensions" and such. I thought this show did a fairly decent job of it overall, but I'm not overly exposed to works that feature time travel and the like.

Was mainly referring to personalities.
I'll get this out of the way, although it should be plain obvious at this point of the show. It's never going to get used again. But there's a lot of annoying little quirks to also be made. I would comment on the whole Nao/Akane rivalry thing that existed for the sake of having something to show. And then it's never relevant again. This is something that could given a bit more dynamic, but it doesn't really mean much.
Other part being (and I'm alone on this) but Yayoi was quite the squee-blob in the second half of the show, and I wish they were still more consistent with her in order to deal with the last bit of character drama she had left. Nowhere near as bad as Reika's episode though.
Back to the bookcase thing though, I ultimately decided that it's because everyone in this show is stupid. Which I accepted since the start of the show. Doesn't help they're also the weakest group of Precures in the franchise.

Well that was a thing I guess. Show isn't awful but it's also not very engaging either.
I'll probably wrap this up anyway.
Cardcaptor Sakura 07
Another episode another cute outfit. You know glasses guy is really creepy. The girl is like 10 son.
The fake Sakura sneezes and ventriloquism were dangerous, I almost died at the former.

Using the shadow card like that was great. That end reveal was great too, the boku fooled me.
Yes, Watamote is well worth your while. Tomoko is the cutest character of the season.
Definitely give Steins Gate the benefit of the doubt. It is a very very entertaining series and in general, there are lots of plot holes inherent in time paradoxes and butterfly effect.
Give it some leeway and it will surely reward you!
I think Sakura's outfit in episode 08 is so adorable it might kill your ass.

I would never lie to you, Cajun.
B-but it has a lovely silver haired girl in it and it looks squee.

But it has the most cringe-worthy chuuni nonsense MC and the lovely silver haired girl is sort of a bitch despite being voiced by da goddess Yukarin.

I disagree. Most character designs seem pretty decent. Generally pleasing to the eye and fun.
A reminder that the original artist/character designer for the Oreshura novels is also the artist for the Unbreakable Machine-Doll novels, though the anime character designers for each are different.
Oh definitely. Zeta Gundam hit that slump so hard I almost quit watching UC Gundam altogether.
Never even ever. You rock, Cajun.
Indeed they are. But my god Yaya looks like the most adorable girl.
I really appreciate you all.

Wooooooow Onpu. I mean Hazuki and Doremi said something similar on the lines too, but you went straight for the jugular.
Two characters dealing with daddy issues, one of them being Tamaki Reika (gasp), in where a good side actually does exist for her.
Things involving Tamaki's past on why she's spoiled now

While it wasn't outright stated, it's pretty damn clear that Shiori healed because of Onpu, since she visited her for like a minute. Her ass is going to be more than grass at this rate.
I mean damn, hot coffee incident when she was a child. She nearly jumped off the villa too and got slapped in the face for it.

It's true that the Yukarin silver-haired girl is the worst girl in the show. Though she does have her appeal in a magnificent-bastard sort of way.
The other girls totally make up for it though.
And including Yukarin in the show was worthwhile so that she could sing in the OP and ED. Actually, if you want proof that the show is worth watching, watching the OP might help. It's sugary-sweet and delicious.
edit: never mind, old news is horribly, horribly old
fuck ANN, as usual
fuck retailer leaks, fuck everything
This is going on your permanent Internet record.
I was kinda hoping she was like Ice witch in Ben-To. you know, perfect.

I'm taking a break from Dirty Pair and Bubblegum to ... watch this? Sure. Power of -noclip.
I only found this gif though.
yeah, I watched Maou Dante before this and it wasn't really good either.
the fact that they're super low quality with some awful english dubs and subs that don't even match doesn't help.

With any time travel story I just do my best to not think about the finer details too much. I've had a lot of practice with that after all the Star Trek I've watched.
