"Beam of light that blocks out faces in a photo" has to be one of the most overused anime tropes of all time by now.
Tomoyo and Kyou OVAs should be watched now instead of later because they're the best girls of Clannad.
Kyou OVA had too much Ryou and not enough Kyou...
Airing order's pretty good. Some people will disagree, but I like the TV airing order first time through.

Sure....
I agree that the Tomoyo one is certainly better than the Kyou one.

I also didn't realize this. Don't know how I missed it....

So the Hunter x Hunter episode basically confirms that Alluka is a calamity from the dark continent right?

broadcast or chronological?
Not alluka per say but the "something" that has taken over alluka most likely is. They say that something is from somewhere else and the only exotic location so far in the HxH universe is the dark continent. I think Alluka herself is just a normal human but has been invaded by something. Maybe a nen parasite of some sort? Whatever it is they have hinted multiple times that there are two beings sharing alluka's body; alluka and something.

The real way.

The thing is Tomoyo and Kyou are
strong independent girls. They don't need Tomoya to make them better. Nagisa and Tomoya make each other stronger and better as cheesy as that sounds it's true
I watched it in chronological order all the way through and watched the first 12 episodes in broadcast order. I liked the chronological order better.
I should rewatch this.

KEY.
I've always enjoyed never being sure if a screencap of a KEY adaptation is the actual art in the show or simply photoshopped for amusement.
do u even uguuuuuuuu~~~
Maybe it should've been 1/4 instead.
Is this actually a thing? Why was this thing made? What purpose does this thing serve?

"The Loan... the Loan! I'm the Loan Ranger!" I laughed out loud...
This episode managed to be pretty interesting despite it's pretty simple premise. Lum and Ten are excited about a typhoon and proceed to muck things up. There was a couple of cute moments that were very "oshii". Specifically when the background went away and there was just the droplets floating in the room with the reflection of the candle. Ataru trying to save Lum to the point of drowning was pretty telling of his character, but it's sort of expected at this point.

Lum and Ten get drunk off of... pickled plums. The animation in this episode seemed a lot of different. The character acting was notably more vibrant, crazy, and better animated. Maybe it's the specific sakkan? Anyway, this is more proof of concept with the whole episode taking place in the school and the gags just being centered around a simple premise. The music video sequence in the middle of the episode was unexpected and well animated. I hope we get to see drunk Lum again I thought the voice actress did a great job with it.

I have a theory that in Clannad the mouth and nose are all one chasm with two small openings. This accounts for the high pitched squeals that all girls make. The eyes clearly take up the majority of the skull, which explains the lack of brainpower that any given character will exhibit.
Just a bit of video editing and this would be something hilarious to watch.

You probably don't remember but I already watched the original OVA and the first movie back in 2012. Guess I should watch the TV series and then do the second movie.
You just had to post it when I finally gotten that image out of my head. Forehead shark girl is too spooky for me.

The love subplot turning out more fun than I expected, must because that Seiji is actually likeable for boy character in kiddie show, and Hikawa also surprisingly good addition for party member after act like a pain before this, love her bro moment with Seiji in this episode.. YuuYuu still the best tho
Having said tho this subplot still can goes south fast with Hime now directly involved >_>

Tomoyo is pretty cool
I maintain that the best possible ending to Clannad AS was
Ushio surviving and Kyou getting Tomoya on the rebound
Kyou OVA/route was ruined by far too much Ryou.

Translating Nanika to "Something"? That's not going to be distracting at all >_>

He doesn't really need such an entrance but why the hell not.
Ace of Diamond 40
With how long this match has been, this felt like a great series finale episode.
Shounen Hollywood 03
It's not so bad, yet barely interesting. I could end up dropping this and not even notice.
Tokyo ESP 02
It was pretty boring at the start but I did start enjoying it once the powers started taking a central role again.
Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC V 14
Oh good, we're already done with I'm not a special snowflake anymore. Now can the side characters stop being so annoying.

Both of these episodes had sequences where it decided to just hit pause and do something neat, actually.Urusei Yatsura - 41

Sabagebu! 1-2
It's fun. I like that everyone in this show is at least a little bit insane especially the main character. I dunno, not really in love with it though. It's funny but it's not really something that's making me want more. At least it's quite a bit better than C³-bu despite being a much wackier take on the whole airsoft club thing (C³-bu did have a pretty sweet OST though). Probably just gonna put this on hold for the time being.

Well there won't be any kissing, that'll be for the movies, in which won't happen because this isn't a movie filled with pent up love desires like GoGo's movie.
I hope the cast involved won't be that thirsty anyway.

Why do most of the cats have eyepatches..?
While I was watching this I thought it was a reference to Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature (though I've never seen it), but looking it up it seems to predate Bagi. Even an uncultured pleb like me could tell that the boxing match was a Ashita no Joe parody though. There was some really humorous imagery in this episode. Specifically all the drawings of the cats running by the hundreds.

I mean, I don't endorse or condone WIkipeding shows, at all, but I really didn't care for anything I saw in the first few episodes. It left me feeling cold, so I just read up on the show. One day I might go back and check the series out, but it's a huge time commitment that I'm not prepared to make for something I didn't care for.
Of course, I'm not really a core UC lover either, after sitting through all of Zeta I'd recommend people skip that as well as ZZ.
Mononoke 2
This OP is really good, as is most of the sound and music.
Well, if I described the last episode as surreal and disorienting, then I'd have to describe this episode as holy hell batshit coocoo for cocoa puffs, with a side of what the fuck. And I mean that in the best way possible. I welcome the weirdness, and this was amazing.

All I know is that there's some form of romance, but Seiji is nothing more than a Miracle Light Holder... .going off the trailer at least
Well, I mean, I did specify that I was aiming at people who were specifically interested in getting to know UC Gundam. I attempted to make my target audience clear.

Well, at least everything went according to plan. I don't know why I stopped at episode 18 or 19, but at least I have finished now. To whoever said it was like Death Note, yes it was, even the ending. Why does every show with a plot like this end with
Don't recommend one to me, or else the ending will be spoiled 
So now I don't know what to watch. Madoka Magica movie? Ghost in the Shell? Something on my dropped/watching but not caught up/on hold list? Something else?

Seems like you enjoy action adventure titles. I would say Gurren Lagann would be fine series to get watching if you haven't seen it yet.
If you haven't seen Madoka Magica yet I would recommend the series instead of the recap movies. I prefer the breaks and pacing of the series, and the total run time isn't going to be that much longer.
the "cute girls" genre doesn't seem to be anything you're into but I'd say Girls und Panzer is a "cute girl" anime with great action.

Ah I see. Guess there's nothin to lose by going straight into the movie then! Everyone chooses a side eventually.
