I don't even feel like I'm watching this anymore as much as I'm trying to find moments to gif Melancholy

I would post a 3rd best one of her laughing, but I'm having issues with Jasc getting rid of the subtitle text. I know there is a way to impose half a frame onto an earlier one but I can't figure out how :(

The actual episode was okay I guess, was surprise it took us 43 episodes to finally a river crossing puzzle.

Wanted to start new shonen and tried Fairy Tail but 6 episodes in and It really hasn't hooked me yet. Has anyone here watched this? Does it get a lot better later on?

It doesn't get A LOT better, but it definitely has its moments and some really creative fights later on. Stick with it if you want. I think around 25 is where you can drop it if you don't like it by then, but no shame in doing so before that.

Random observation from a translation perspective: The specificity required by English grammar doesn't really do this exchange any favours. In Japanese there's no singular/plural distinction, so the first line could just as easily be "There are people you want to swim with, right?!" In other words, it's not clear whether it's "the team" as a whole that Haru wants to swim with, or someone more specific.

Which is why I feel there was a certain tension in this exchange in the original Japanese. With the deliberate vagueness in the way Rei phrases the question, I get the impression that, deep down, he was hoping that Haru would acknowledge him as one of the people he really wants to swim with. So when Haru responds that he wants to swim with Rin specifically, it feels like a bit of a rejection. But because Rei is such a bro, he was ready for that; he understands and accepts that it's Rin that's most important to Haru right now, so he makes the decision to gracefully step aside.

This tension seems to be kind of lost in the translation, since the singular usage in Rei's line implies that he's talking about one specific person from the start (and really, who else would it be?)

I think this season is pretty much over. Whats everyone's show of the season?

Mine is Servant x Service. Love Lab was close and Monogatari was a distant third.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Uchouten Kazoku, everything else is hot trash.

Revolutionary Girl Utena: 12

Depressed Utena made this episode depressing. Luckly a duel later and things are back to normal. Well, as normal as things in this show are. Maybe.

Right now I'd have to say Genshiken Nidaime. In particular I really appreciate how the S1 cast has been integrated with the newer characters.

ReWatch Digimon Adventure 02: 1

Saw this on netflix so I decided to check this out, and man, it feels weird considering I'm use to the dub (obviously). Gatomon was pretty strange for me considering she has like the deepest voice out of everyone, also not sure how I dig the music on this. They made going to the digital world sound like you're on an elevator.

Anyway, it's like everything was already tightly knitted with each other already, so no need to do a "hey I'm this jackass, nice to meet you".

Not sure if this will be a serious rewatch though.

Summer of non-fujoshi bomba series. Though in what could be called a minor miracle, at least every show so far charted in some form during its first week...

Seeing a lot of love here for Kiniro Mosaic. Going to have to get caught up on that, probably when I'm done watching my Hanasaku Iroha BD's and am caught up with Majestic Prince and Love Lab.

It's funny how Danganronpa can be considered the third or so top selling show of the season. :]

Click to expand...

otaku: Japanese for "geek", generally used to refer to hardcore anime fans

Hajime: The lead character of Gatchaman Crowds. She's amazing.

DEEN: An animation studio whose shows are often considered to be of questionable quality.

Yamauchi: The Yamauchi you're looking at in the OP must be Yamauchi Shigeyasu, the guy who's directing Kimi no Iru Machi. Don't know that much about him, but I seem to recall he was the guy who directed a couple of episodes of Shin Sekai Yori that looked very...distinctive, so I can see why people might latch on to him.

yuri: Lesbian-themed manga or anime. Clearly the most beautiful and pure form of love. The male equivalent is yaoi.

Fujoshi: Girls who are really into yaoi. Often used to describe shows shamelessly aimed at this market, since it seems to be a remarkably lucrative one in recent years.

Otaku: People generally refer to hardcore fans of Japanese nerd culture as these, but it can be a bit broader than that, which you don't need to know.
Hajime: Name of a character in Gatchaman Crowds
DEEN: An anime studio with a shaky reputation.
Yamauchi: Some director
Yuri: Lesbians
