We need some sort of official scale from SDBurton for measuring the authenticity of yuri content in a series.

broken yuri goggles could potentially mean the Yuri content is off the scales.

Then I remembered Yes Pretty Cure 5 breaking those because it threw "yuri" under a bus multiple times.

He doesn't use a scale so much as a flow chart....

The official website for Kingdom of Dream and Insane ('Yume to Kyōki', 夢と狂気の王国), a documentary directed by Asami Sunada about the production of Studio Ghibli's two latest movies made by the both masters Mr. Takahata & Mr. Miyazaki, has been opened:

Hunter x Hunter 87

Dont understand the love of Knuckle, pretty dull character type and has no nen proficiency or even a good design, so couldn't get into him at all. Was as bored as Killua was during this whole affair. Hopefully we can fast track through this plotline and get back to the good stuff.
 
Why are there banners for everything now?
Because peaceiscloser photshop skills were starting to dull because he hadn't created anything new in the span of 24h.

You'll love knuckles ... not now but later.

I choose the worst nights to go to bed early.

I feel the same way.

Love Lab 01

Holy crap. This was cuuuuuuuuuuuuute!
I was on team fang at first but now Im not sure if I want to choose. they are both adorable.
Team Maki and Riko!
Or shall I say Team Maki X Riko :D

Also, this show has excellent animation and style and the music works for it.
It also has the most moe abuse since Chuu2.

Actually, can somebody gif the part where Riko smacks Maki with the rolled up papers because that was ADORABLE.

Now onto the Mahou Shoujo!

This show is incredibly :firehawk. How much, you ask?

Cherry blossoms.
Very much.

This episode spends most of its time setting up the premise by showing us the protagonist's initial homestay experience in England. And as strange and convenient as the mother's perfect Japanese may have been, it was very, very cute, as well as pretty touching at times. The rest is so early that it's kind of hard to tell (definitely a 4koma show), but I liked how it started.

The initial homestay flashback is letterboxed, even though the show is in widescreen. It's kind of like the upcoming horror game The Evil Within, I guess.

I was curious how the English would be handled, and given the standards of anime English, this show does remarkably well. This is no Space Brothers; everyone who is supposed to speak English does, with relative fluency. It may be Japanese-accented all the way through, but it's still admirable. And while I may have mocked cnet before, it is strange to land in England and have everyone speak American. It would have been a lot to ask, but at least us foreigners would have appreciated it!

Unfortunately, there are three grammatical errors in this announcement. I may be wrong about whether or not customs should be capitalized, though.

I don't think it's going to knock my socks off, but it's a nice show, and that's all I needed from the premise.

First 20 seconds I thought "Well I don't see what's so bad about this"

Then the rest of it appeared. Clearly an AT-X airing show then!

The new characters are good in their own ways. On Feixin crew, Ang is underrated and deserves much more screentime, like what he stands for and want to see him succeed
such an intense moment when the spears and such and he was so brave. I thought the dogs would have came running or something
. Meng Tian is funny and the stuff at the palace
I wonder if the Queen will deliver like the Mountain King did in s1...hopefully she sides with the right side

It's funny to see Monogatari S2 air in the same season as Free!, and how different the mainstream otaku reactions are to these two shows are.

This was about as entertaining as you'd expect a Monogatari episode without Araragi and with worst girl as the main character would be. I suppose they at least delivered on the fanservice front.

Very?
I thought its very refreshing environment without Araragi, he ain't shit without Oshino anyway like shown in nise.

And Hanekawa is better romantic affair for Senjou, yay.

Cat still the best girl

Refreshing environment? The first half was devoted to worst girl's boring maudlin story, the second half was all fan service. There was very little content of worth and even the fanservice scene went on for way too long.

I like the girls talk, we don't get too many of that in series.

Most of dialogue come from Araragi's Tokimeki Memorial POV

Fate/Kaleid Linear something stuff Ilya -1

It makes Fate/SN anime look like a master piece. It looks hideous, faces are horrible.

that Fate/SN imagery

As for content, of course it's silly nonsense cute things. If it didn't look this ugly I might have watched it for that Saber Alter in the OP and other summons, I don't know anything about the story in this, it could be cool. Somewhat curious still, but nope.

Pretty much the entire episode of Love Lab can be broken down into gifs. The true sign of quality.



yup

Just like K-on !

Worst girl? when Arararagi sisters exist how can she be worst girl?

There were a few scenes where Senjougahara's face looked way out of form. There is one thing SHAFT was good at in anime and that was detailed character animation and close ups, whenever they wanted at least, even that is failing.

I came out of Free with a positive impression despite thinking that 3/5 of the main cast are clearly unsuitable for max rank social links.

I'd have to think about it but this might be a first since Sailor Moon.

The change in voice actors was extremely distracting at first, especially since they open up with narrated scene that's just made confusing because I didn't know the voices. But I adjusted rather quickly and I think it'll be fine, the replacements seem to be of good quality.
