darkside denigrates Hyouka, Branduil responds with a disapproving gif.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
Volume 9 spoilers make it sound like the spectacular trainwreck I didn't even know I wanted from this series.

From the sounds of it, it looks like its going beyond the full retard event horizon. Can't wait.

I loathed the first half of this episode. Not only did Leorio annoy the crap out of me, but
given that Gon - and the doofus that was following him - give essentially correct answers to "impossible" ethical questions, surely they should all be successful? If you're asked a question, "no answer" is not an answer. Try pulling that in any normal exam and you'll get no marks.
I was relieved, however, that Gon was taken seriously for properly pondering it. I'd save my mum every time for exactly the same reasons, though.

IF YOU GUYS SUCK AS PARENTS THEN YOU GUYS ARE SHIT! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
Also Squid Octo couple is back again, with the "If our baby fails, then we can't have interspecies relationships".
But it's episode 7 folks.

You've never watched it before? Depends on what you're looking for in anime. I'm not a fan of it, but it is a classic. I mean, you could always just watch a few episodes and see if it hooks you in.

Wow, quite the backstory he has right there. Seeing how good he was in Tsuritama I'm not surprised many people wanted him to start voicing more. Also I'm glad to hear that one of my favorite VA's Sugita had his back through that anime. I had forgotten that Sugita was in the anime as well, he was the guy with the duck. I only saw a little of him speaking since I stopped in the middle of the show, so I didn't hear him speak much.
If that happens I will watch and read this regardless of the story just to see it. I love me that yandere goodness.

The anime has one of the more well done lead characters in anime featuring mechs and deep thinking. Additionally the supporting cast is strong and display real emotions when approached with the larger than life and mind shattering moments that defy logic that they encounter. Its worth watching. You could also check out Guilty Crown, similar in quality and phenomenal story that has numerous similarities.
Moretsu Pirates/Bodacious Space Pirates Episode 14: Well, so we kick off the new arc in earnest with the Bentenmaru receiving a package bound for the Fire Nation (Cat-Monkeys, seriously?) which had its time locks mysteriously tampered with and really the whole upshot is to justify the continued existence of the Yacht Club on this show as they really have fallen to irrelevancy in recent times, indeed this show is understand that the High School bits, nobody cares about the High School bits. Also, the show remembered that Marika love interest #47 and alleged main character Chiaki is supposed to be a fixture on this program and reintroduces her.

The Date A Live website background has changed again to that girl no-one likes, presumably for the upcoming vol 3 release. Kurumi's up next, right? Right?

That's what Date A Live is!? Holy moly, I never looked into it because the name sounded like a plain romance anime. I didn't know it had chicks in tight metal gear.
Is it any good?
Thanks Hellsing321, darkside31337, cnet128, Razgriz-Specter, Vecks and Dedication Through Light.
I'll give the first couple of episodes a go

The
chick who admits to liking masturbating always wins.
MC is god awful though. He doesn't deserve any of the girls outside of Meat who is also equally terrible. Basically OreImo v2

Yeah, calling the visuals average is probably accurate; it doesn't look great, but it doesn't look bad either. Perfectly acceptable, but nothing special. It more than makes up for any visual shortfalls with the great writing and story, for sure, though! It really is a quite surprisingly good show, far better than I ever thought it would be. Apparently it's got a non-ending of sorts, but it IS a LN conversion, so I guess it unfortunately couldn't avoid that pitfall of the category.
Ah well, hopefully it does well enough to get some kind of continuation... it deserves one! With great writing, interesting stories, a deeper analysis of how people think than you almost ever get in TV anime, it's a quality show I definitely recommend. I'm really liking it now, after some mixed feelings about the early episodes.
Oh, and yeah, the MC and female lead are great, too. Both of their attitudes and character are interesting and I like them. The other girl is kind of annoying, as her character type usually is, but they manage to make her a more interesting character than most "peppy annoying" type characters are, at least, so that's good. But the main two are why I keep watching for sure, that and the usually-interesting stories of the episodes/arcs. Like everything else about the show, it's great how the characters are very atypical compared to what you might 'expect' from an LN-conversion anime, and the stories are serious and have some layers, too. Very good stuff.
It's about a guy who has to make some "spirit" girls into waifus because otherwise they'll keep blowing up parts of the world. That girl there is one of the anti-spirit troops, but the "have the MC date them" plan is the peaceful option for stopping them. It's okay for its genre, I think (not that that's saying a lot). But yes, it does have suits like that for the fights.
Sounds like I need to read the LN.....

I'm pretty sure you can have mahou shoujo without this, because Precure (up to where I'm at) has been sorely lacking in that department. Probably the closest thing we've had was when Nagisa briefly imagined herself transforming into a mascot back at the halfway point of the original series.
What you meant to say, I'm sure, is that one shouldn't have a mahou shoujo show without a body swap episode. Thankfully, I believe I've heard that Precure does go there eventually. Whew. Injustice rectified.
Hey, no hating on the Yacht Club! They're cool!
Hating on Chiaki is fine though. Most boring HanaKana character ever.
Please be aware that you are looking at the worst character in the show (though she has her moments). Take that as you will.
It's a fun little show, and one of the girls in it is pretty goddess-tier. You should give it a try.
By the way, thanks a bunch for not marking this as "Haganai LN 9 spoilers" or anything. Because, you know, some of us might not realize what it was just from the link title alone since we don't lurk /a/ all the time.
Worst reason ever.

I agree saying something is going school days is a spoiler in itself.

Not really. I dropped it after a few episodes myself because of how unpleasant it was to watch and I really loved the OVAs myself, those were fantastic and looked great.
That said he should probably just drop the show and watch the OVA.

Didn't know they had crayons designing the cities in the 80s. Sounds less bleak too.
Time Travel Hijinx and parental PTSD as Onpu's mother goes into it upon hearing where Onpu is performing. Sadly upon finding out her stage name, I couldn't help but shout "SAKURAAAAAAAAAAI"
The lullaby is getting real old though

These are kind of interchangeable in this case yes. I should have noted it doesn't always happen but it is an integral part of many a shows!
Perhaps so. But I think the reward is worth it. I COULD always not watch the first (2000) OVA but then I'd jump midway into the story of the second OVA. Can't have that!
I do know what happens or at least what matters but I'd rather see it adapted in a semi-chronological manner.
This IS the 2000 OVA I'm talking about. It was titled as such.

About time.
Bad.
Also a little jealous at all the nice stuff going on at Japan Expo this weekend.
Yeah! Now if they could just hoik their stuff on the ebook places (and make it UK available) then it'll be good times and cake for all!
Oh, that's okay then. I thought you were talking about watching the David Production series just to get to the OVAs, which would be a crime. Watching the 2000 OVA just to get to the 90s OVA makes infinitely more sense.
The optimal course of action is still to pretend the OVAs don't exist and just wait for a proper adaptation of Part 3, though.

The fuck is goddess-tier?
Also the girl in Date A Live is partially responsible for 150 million people being killed.

Yes
I kind of want a Dachshund now. It was just so absurd and the OP and ED take it to another level.
Goddesses are judged by different moral standards than mere mortals.
No, the Yacht Club is pretty pointless at this point since the show has shifted away from High School because seriously fuck the High School shit when you have space pirates.
I'm not a big fan of it myself but i gets much much better when Polnareff shows up.

No, the 1990s OVAs should definitely be watched for the thrilling gambling episode and the awesome animation David Production will never be able to match unless they somehow pull Iso out from whatever hole he's in.
I saw Skywalker Sound in anime credits just recently; they worked on 009 Re:Cyborg.
The character designs still look a bit too shiny. Nice to see they have the old cast back together but it does leave me wondering who they'll get to fill the role of Coack Kamogawa after Kenji Utsumi died a few months back.
