Aiming to try to get through Ep. 8 tonight. Maybe.
Valvrave the Liberator 6

So that's pact with the devil #2. Haruto traded his soul to save and avenge the ones he loved. Saki traded hers for fame, in that oh so familiar story. Who ever is next, I wonder what they will trade for? Money by perhaps becoming a merc with their? Just do it for the immortality?
Yeah, ERUERUFF brings up a good point. Plus, what's with all the famous people here as students? The Daughter of JIOR's President and Pop Star for starters. It could also be that some of the students are called for their latent prowess, like the technician kid, the hacker, and the student council members. That kinda calls into question just who Haruto or why he was let it, if that's indeed the case.

Oh well. Think that Oreimo event outside of the nightmares will be summed up like this.
Or at least that's what the game is making me feel.

Squid Girl Season 1 GET
I've never seen Squid Girl. I heard it was good. I decided to marathon the first season today. The conclusion?

whoa. whoaaaaaaaaaa. let me stop you right there.
Hidamari is one of the greatest feelgood series that there is.
Also I fully agree about slice of life shows and my love of them began with Azumanga Daioh when it first aired. I still have the original DVDs with the joke booklets and cloisonne pins.
Oh my. Stratos 4...well its..kinda hard sci fi and then
ALIEN LESBIANISM DISEASE!
Awesome! I wish I could meet gaffers
Some are right over in Texas but Texas is so big!
This show Ive been meaning to rewatch forever. Regret never buying the discs but Im sure they are relatively easy to find and purchase.
KILL IT WITH FIRE. NAPALM ACTUALLY.

...okay? What exactly was that intro?
lol Haruto the perfect meat-shield
Between this show and Majestic Prince I'm getting kinda sick and tired of short, genki, psychopath villain pilots. So annoying. Someone please kill them.

The essence of Incest. It's a metaphor.
Kirino in order to appeal her brother forever have subjected herself to huge amount of botox in order to remain youthful which resulted to this kind of horrible thing.

What I don't get is that the gloves are pointless... if its a girl under the suit.
Some otaku man is Kirino.

How do these students have ERUERUFFFF restrained better than the ARUS soldiers? Whoops, never mind.
Well Haruto, there's your second deal. You're probably a cat because you must have a ton of lives to just trade.
Oh that tattoo is not a good thing. So is he a vampire-thing too?

Shingeki 24-
This was a great episode for one major reason. They actually gave a shit about the physics of the Maneuver Gear and trying to show the wires and movements properly. Half of this episode was sakuga especially Mikasa coming out of the tunnel.
It's really a fucking shame the rest of the show couldn't look like this.

That animation bump.
Anyways, it's good to finally see Riko wanting to fess up to Maki about everything and with the show coming to close it'll be nice to have some 'closure' in that department if it's handled well for the final episode. I don't think I'd mind seeing a second season of this though.
Also, Maki deserves better than Yan.

I meant literally, Rei Shinozaki style.
I'm pretty sure I saw those two repeated buildings that make up a city in the episodes I watched. It looks more similar than you think!

Japanese history question
Lots of anime when making reference to the word "clown" use the French (I think) word to do so. Did the concept of a clown or jester exist before Japan was exposed to Western culture?
The reason I ask is just to suss out references during period specific stories what would be considered proper terminology.
LOL... she runs like a Titan

I just can't stop looking at this.
It looks so awkward and yet it fits the scenario well.

Here in Korea they use the word Pierrot as well. Must just be what they have come to associate with the word clown as we would know it.
I assume you're thinking of the word "pierrot", which you're right is used all the time. The tendency in anime is to use the stock image of the Harlequin-style clown from Commedia Dell'Arte (think Kefka in FFVI) which is why it's used so often.
I Am Not A Japanese Historian, and so can only speak from a quick Google, but although clowns and jesters are pretty much a Western thing there were certainly manzai comedians who fulfilled a similar function to a court jester as far back as the Heian period (800-1200 AD or so).
I suppose there's also the doukegata character in kabuki, who looks very similar to a clown on occasion, but I have no idea from whence said character came.

I thought that was done on purpose to take the mick out of the girls in anime that run like this:
No one runs like that. It looks so stupid.
This is how you run:

It's episodes like this that remind me that some things just have more impact when animated!

The closest reference I can think of are from Japanese mythology in deities like the fox spirit but that seems more like a stretch to me since I can't remember anyone ever mincing the two concepts; they've always been clearly separated. I suppose it could be a role that's unique to western culture but it bugs me when the word shows up in unexpected places. It's like someone using the word "computer" during high-fantasy to reference how someone is processing information like a machine which are is simply breaking some kind of suspension of disbelief.
I've been wondering for years why animators do that. Is it supposed to be cute? Is it to give them more room to animate breast jiggle? I've never really understood it.

Y'know, my only real issue with the first run of this was just how painfully unfunny it was. It wasn't until this creepy ass motherfucker arrived that the really messed up aspect of this shit was put on full blast to the point where no amount of facepalming could wash away the wrongness of it all.
And yet I keep on watching, if only for the ED sequences (which alone are better than the entire first run of this…

I wonder if the next episode will also be the last one. A shame if it is as this has been really picking up lately.

This was a pretty good episode thanks to the huge animation quality bump and the rather well-handled way they dealt with this stuff. Hopefully they can end the final episode on a similar note.
I was worried about how they'd deal with the "revelation" as well, but they didn't do too bad. And this show needs more Jan, he's the 3rd best character.
Big Bushiroad anime site update: http://bushiroad-anime.com/
It's no longer airing in Fall, but delayed to Winter instead. But they did announce the cast and the renew the site. The main cast is made up of KENN, Megumi Han, and Solid Snake. Also of interest is that they credit the Animation Production to both Kinema Citrus and Orange. Which means CG mecha... but awesome CG mecha!
Can't wait to see what Orange does with these designs in motion:

Jan is the most normal out of all the characters, he's just kind of anti social.

Still four months away + two or three months for DVD/BR release
At least more Puchimas will make the wait easier.

I was trying to be optimistic... ;_; I deal with this wait for Kamen Rider movies all the time and it's painful.
Maybe it's how some girls run in Japan?
