I said this episode was awesome, I like how the stock footage has them in the Majoranger uniform.
That sentai music. Soreyuke! Majoranger and Commander Hana.
And it's funny you got almost the same screen grab I did for the Orihime episode.

Is it death note?Secret Anime - 2
This sure took an ominous turn. Usually the second episode of these kinds of shows explain how this kind of thing works to some degree. But more questions were raised than answers here. I wonder just what exactly went on back then...
But anyway, here's your first hint!
That you must decode. Get to work.
Remember, the hints get less and less subtle as I go on, and you get one guess per impression!

Things happened. Situations brought forth from actions of some gave away to different situations. Characters were talking, but also walking at points.
Death Notes isn't a 12 episode anime is it?
Ok I laughed because I thought the same thing with the "are explained by now" bit

So I see, but it is one reason why I never indulged in such long form posting.
Lol, looks like ASCII.

That's 11 episodes.
Hehe. No need to be scared. By the end of this I can guarantee that one of you will get the answer right. Soon I'll start to use certain keywords. Just keeping any kind of evidence that can possibly be deemed relevant in the hints right now.
I'm trying to get you to use your brains when narrowing the results down! I'm not just going to throw in obvious hints from the start like: "Voice actor X voices the main character" or something.
It is and the text is reversed.

I think I translated it but I'm confused.
And yes, it was great.

Narag gets the idea. Now to see what he conclusion he can draw from it.
I'll certainly be throwing a lot more bones as I go on, don't worry. But I will say that the lead is female. That's all you get for now!
If you watched the anime that I'm watching and
played that game, you'll find that there is some small relation. Keep thinking!

Pupipo!
This is one really weird series. I'm not even sure where to begin. I liked a lot of what it did, and it's really not what I expected from a series with short 4min episodes, but goddamn, it was weird. It's the great kind of weird though. A coming of age story, with elements of yokai horror, mixed with a tale of friendship and love, ending in a big fantasy climax, and then... the story ties in a way which is unusually dark but yet childishly optimistic...? I can't say I've seen anything like this before, but it sure was enjoyable!
It's also really interesting to see how the show used the short-anime format to it's advantage. Instead of an episodic story, it's a linear narrative paced around core plot points in each episode, so everything moves very quickly without any filler. It's also clearly a fairly low budget series, but there's some pretty nice animation in the spots where it counts most, and the layout and direction makes the visuals more attractive than the norm even when there isn't a lot of animation. Pretty distinctive and memorable.
I definitely wouldn't have watched this without the recommendations of wonzo and hosanna, so thanks! Even after all the recommendations, I really didn't know quite what to expect from the show, and after watching it... I guess that reaction is normal. It's not really something that can be explained easily, but considering the fast pace and the short length, it's much easier for people to just watch it for themselves knowing that it's worthwhile.
Yay, you watched it! It's definitely a weird series, and one which is hard to explain. But I think it's better to not have it explained - the developments have that much more impact if you don't see them coming. And not in the "gotcha" twist kind of way, but simply in the expansion of scope to levels you would never guess from the simple beginnings. And it accomplishes all that in an hour. Great stuff.

Right now, the only people who could correctly guess the show I'm watching would be the people who actually watched the show and thought carefully about the hint.
The show I'm watching is also a show I haven't seen yet and it's not on my MAL. Keep thinking!

there's probably a dandere girl. Or an ojou-sama. And they go to the beach. But they have to draw anime. So they bring in their tools to the beach. Hijinks ensue.
I can see this actually happening.

Corvo was right. *resists urge to watch*
There are so many ways a beach episode could be subverted. I want to believe in you, Mizushima!
What I really liked about the show was how they kept introducing more and more stuff into the picture, which is pretty impressive for a short-form series like this. Lots of cool settings, characters, and ideas.
Next week, Shounen Hollywood!

I clicked on that spoiler and almost burst out laughing. Holy crap.
Like, the premise is stupid but I didn't think they could possibly make it MORE stupid!
It was in episode 5, I think, where
they go into that weird afterlife train thing and then Po-chan grows legs and what the fuck.

So much pressure! My guess is Humanity has Declined. If it's not that, it should be easy to narrow down after the next clue.

Dear mech anime made in the past 5 years
You got blown out by an anime about mech toys
You have had worse stories, worse action, worse animation, worse emotion, and worse mech then this series
If you want to make a mech anime in the future, please watch Gundam Build Fighters and if you can't make something half as decent, don't even bother.
Sincerely,
A fan of mech anime

No it doesn't. 12 episodes in its main run.
If I was watching KLK, I wouldn't call it a 25 episode show if you counted the upcoming OVA, for example. It's still a 24 episode show.

-_- Should have asked that first.
Chuck from SF Debris has been reviewing this series recently.

I hope you can understand why I want this series on Toonami one day.
Okay hold the fuck up.
What is the general moral consensus of Goku deliberately withholding Super Saiyan 3 from Majin Vegeta and retreating from his fight with Fat Buu, despite admitting he could have actually beat him right then and there? Forget the "leaving it up to a new generation" thing, Buu would eventually go on to exterminate the fucking human race not long after Goku left.
MAYBE I could accept that using SS3 on Vegeta would have shortened his time on Earth to a point where he wouldn't be there to fight Buu at all. Otherwise, did the community ever really reconcile this decision?

With the question Femmeworth asked, I have a good feeling she's figured it out.
I eagerly await her next guess tomorrow.
