Gammon truly has come a long way in my eyes, he's far more complex then the rest of the cast even if he is sometime very stubborn. Also it was hilarious to see Kaito play the role of a giver for a change.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kaku Outbreak OVA 1
Bless you, Rena. If I can't have Shion going psycho eyes (Who was unfortunately absent), I can always count on you.
Unfortunately, this was a below average OVA.
Animation was pretty mediocre and the plot was basically just to let Rena and Keiichi kill a bunch of villagers to rescue Satoko. The problem I have with this is that I actually liked seeing the reaction from the characters when they killed someone in the series (i.e Rena crossing that line, Keiichi crying). Here its just like them playing a video game and gleefully not caring even slightly about whose neck they just slashed or beat down brutally with the baseball bat.
On the bright side, Dear You ~ Visionen im Spiegal is an absolutely beautiful song and I'm glad that it was the ending theme.

I actually did as well, but because I was tired from work and not because it was awful or anything (though it was a bit boring).

I love Oyajide. He's hilarious. Especially when Hana is there. Those two are never not awesome together, especially given the contrast between his sinister intentions and Hana's affection for him. And she seems to be the one whose magic he never seems to take into account.
Firework farts at the end. Awesome.

Funny enough, Okuda-bot also worked on Aria. I guess she took from that experience the need to insert stupid (melo)drama into her writing to make it less subtle!
Checking on this Yamada, it looks like I don't know anything about them although given that they worked on Umi Monogatari, it almost makes sense that they'd be given that episode. The ending of that show was also pretty :satojun. lol
But yeah, the holy trinity of SatoJun/Yoshida/Kobayashi has yet to happen. I'm not sure if it ever will!
As for One Off, I believe it's actually 2-30 minute episodes. It's just that they're split into four parts for some reason. It's a short and sweet SatoJun mono no aware story where girls cry because they're happen at some revelation that they make about their past while, in this case, literally riding on a bike toward the future.
You know, standard stuff!
Also, this is Kobayashi:
She gets a chance to flex her Engrish muscle. lol

Man the Orpheus Order's don't give a fuck they march right up to the main characters and challenge them to battle. I like the idea of this battle game, but the fact we're gonna get 3-4 episodes based around it kind of frustrates me. Cube is now 0-2 against Melancholy but he got his data so I guess he's happy.
By the way Melancholy is by far the most adorable thing I've seen in anime this year.
The loli is becoming my favorite character simply due to design :X

And here I thought the plot had rolled out when it hardly had even begun. Quite a number of bombshells were dropped in these few episodes. I could not anticipate that
. The story was already pretty crazy and now it just flipped the world several times over. Also farting penguins are funny

Shoma's parents were actually criminals which caused Momoka's death, then that Yuri was even crazier than Ringo, and Momoka's diary actually changes the fate of the world
I believe it was KuwabaraTheMan's birthday. Happy Birthday!

Ah, so Aria has some of her drama does it?
One day. Believe! Haha.
Haha. It looks like Kobayashi's character even has Mad Pierrot eyebrows. I'm not sure if you ever watched any episodes of Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Anime but without spoiling anything, let's just say her character isn't so shy anymore,haha.
In case you forgot when 7Th mentioned it, Yoshida is woriking on the writing for Non Non Biyori for Fall season.
---
Also, kind of random, but it was a year ago now(crazy) that Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun or My Little Monster aired and you mentioned a show about a short girl and a tall guy getting together and recommending that show as something similar. I wound up watching it but didn't end up posting any comments on it and now don't even remember what it was called,haha. I remember Ayana Taketatsu, Azusa from K-On's seiyuu, does the voice of the girl so it should be easy enough to figure out.

episode. Freecell and these villains seem really shallow though now that we're learning the truth about their collective past. Seriously you hold a grudge against Kaito because

Yeah, I don't know about this one anymore...Haruka makes this show extremely uncomfortable at times. Like, imagine if it were a guy saying the stuff she says. It goes a little too far a little too often. And it's a shame because she's a Yui Horie character...I usually like all of her characters.
But yeah, I'm really not sure about this show anymore.

lol, not really, thankfully!
Kobayashi seems to be getting less and less work these days.
I scrubbed through the last two where she shows up and tries to use "PC" to take over the world... or something. lol
Yeah, saw it. We'll see how it goes... at least she's not doing mecha again.
Yeah, that was Hiyokoi. It's probably most notable for, in my opinion, being a "pilot" or "beta test" for how they eventually did Kimi ni Todoke. The primary director on Hiyokoi was an episode director on KnT.

Heh, I went back after Hadzuki explained why she and Masaru disappeared and lo and behold, there she was, buckling her knees and trying to get Doremi's and Onpu's attention. Kinda contrived to have all that stuff happen at once (and seriously, who stops in the middle of cutting watermelons to go buy salt? Was it for the watermelons? And his dad just left his beer and green beans there. Sorry, not buying it), but eh, whatever.
As for the commercial interlude,
Cause that would be so motherfucking Toei if it was.

Yes the salt was for the watermelons.
Why would you put salt on watermelons? I've never heard of that. Maybe they were going to make martinis or something. Either way, they were in one fucking hurry to go buy that salt. Seriously, the dude's beer was open and poured. What the hell? And why does he even need to go? It's salt. I'm sure his wife is more than capable of going to the convenient store and buying salt on her own.
No, there will be a new thread when fall starts.

I hope not.
No, like it was for the watermelon without making it something else. I heard of it a few years ago and even tried it. Using salt (a minimum amount of it) on a watermelon brings out its flavor and makes it taste better*, forgot who told me about this.
*preferences may vary
Okay then. But my other points still stand.
Kobayashi seems to be getting less and less work these days.
The dudes do tend to have longer lifespans. If you're a female seiyuu, getting a long running gig is probably for the best since the machine will grind you down and spit you out once the otaku get tired of you.

Well why would you send your wife to walk to the store.... alone..... at night.... in a world where miscarriages are brought up and lord knows might mention the r word at some point (I don't know about this one).

Freecell is truly kookoo for cocoa puffs, the final battle was exciting though glad to see Kaito get his head out of his ass.
Next episode is a beach party? They hid Nonoha during the preview but showed Erena and she looks fabulous... but according to the wiki she's 14 seriously what the hell Japan -.-

Okay then. How about he finishes his beer and green beans and goes out by himself and she stays home and finishes cutting the watermelons?

Because this is a mahou shoujo, and men aren't as capable in this genre, then again, making them look capable is something that isn't done often to begin with.
All right. For the sake of argument, let's assume that both of them have to go to the store together for whatever reason. There are still two problems I have. One, why were they in such a fucking hurry? The kid said his mother never leaves something unfinished, so why was the salt such an urgent matter that she made an exception this one time? And couldn't they wait until the guy finished his beer? Again, it was open and poured; it's the best that beer's ever going to be. Could they have taken five minutes to let him drink it? Two, why didn't they just say "fuck it" and eat the watermelon without the salt? Watermelon's fine the way it is; they don't need to go that much out of their way to make it only a wee bit tastier.
...I feel like I'm debating the most pointless thing ever right now. And that's probably because I am.
KirbYuuYuu

Well lets start with that there's a big difference between salted and unsalted watermelon, especially with the base flavor salt brings on its on. It's pretty strong, so it's like a big boost, and I'm sure they want the kids to be happy.
I guess they were in a hurry so that when they get home fast enough, Dad can finish his beer just fine (granted that doesn't work, but then again, I'm not too big of a fan on beer outside of that Angry Orchird stuff).
Other could be how well can he actually take a beer, and would he need to be more stable instead of not quite as stable because he had alcohol?

Watamote 12 -END-
Kind of a lackluster final episode for an otherwise pretty great show. It really felt like they used up all their good material early on and the last two or three episodes weren't as good as the rest of the series. Did really like the insert song and the use of the OP near the end of the episode.
Farewell, Watamote. If it weren't for Servant x Service you'd probably be my show of the season. Here's hoping we get a second season, too. I could always do with more of Tomoko.

Knowing the anime, they'd just skip 100 chapters anyway! lol
Funny that it turned into the Chihiro show... but I guess they basically killed her off.
The thing is that as an ongoing series, there's really no way for them to end it. As something that was half recap and half denouement, I feel like they did the best they did. Playing with the episode structure and being all Oonuma was a neat bonus too.
But man, that CG. lol
Funny enough, as far as bad CG goes, it's still probably better than Kingdom!

Actually yeah, they would probably be harder to deal with since mocking it will trigger Attack on Kirbyguy instead. AMVs and all.
