Wow. Such a great leader.
It gives Kirito a chance to show off his l33t skillz at least. And Asuna finds out that you can't just quit a guild.

Thanks! I'll try it out when I get home.

Hello again, Pizza Hut. Fancy seeing you on this exact subway. As the opening shot while they pan down to Yumi, no less. That was the only pizza-related thing in these episodes, the real key point was that the Lady Roses and the council in general have a really high incumbency rate. Touko entered, deliberately lost for some reason, and no change was made. I understand why it wouldn't be, these are the main characters we're talking about here, but it's no wonder becoming part of the Yamayuri Council is a distant dream for so many of the girls at this school.
Glad to see Noriko taking a more active role in things. She's kinda been off on the sidelines since Shimako chose her. As for the whole Touko matter, while she's yet another example of Kugyuu's tsundere power, she feels different from what people usually think of in a Kugimiya tsundere. More restrained (as everyone in this show is), but still causing drama because of her stubbornness. Probably closer to the Palmtop Tiger if anything else.
Fight, Yumi!

Surely a sampler should involve more than one decent show? Ideally they'd all be good shows! I recommend switching schools ASAP.

It's been a while since I last watched this. The last 2 episodes were ok, but they didn't really grab me. Fortunately, this episode ended up being pretty great. It's focus on Yukari (aka the best character on the show) and the Yukari & Nanako relationship (aka the heart of the show) was a recipe for success.

so the next movie is not called 4.0....
Even though I imagine the movie will be garbage, I admire the trolling here.
It ended without anybody explaining anything to Shinji or the audience, which is probably exactly according to plan.
Also:
No! Be positive- it will be great!

3.0 + 1.0? That's WiiU levels of confusion.
Still haven't actually watched 3.0. 1 and 2 were good, though.

I'll be cautiously optimistic about 3.0+1.0. I enjoyed 1.11 and 2.22. Even if 3.33 was pretty bad, there's always the chance that somehow it will be a nice action movie. Best case scenario is that they totally redo 3.33!

So the creepy looking bodyguard was actually
all the time. What a surprise.
Kirito loses
. And now they're moving to the countryside. Will that be ok with the guild though? Wasn't the big fight at the start of the episode that started all this to prevent people from leaving?

an evil murderer and some kind of spy

I see how they made this two episodes now, so much filler content. It wasn't bad though.
Would've preferred this be one episode then do a more filler-type Egypt arrival episode with

Around late september to early October. Log Horizon 2 is airing on 4th October.

Same. Soon we are all sitting in rocking chairs and wondering where in the hell all that time went.
We're getting an OVA soon. Also Kyouko is getting a Nendo.

Yurika is pretty great. And even though
, she still ultimately got the respect she's been looking for. Both of the Nijinos in shows I'm following are looked at oddly for their habits, but they're also both skilled at what they do. In fact, Yurika's story arc here propelled the show closer to finding out what everyone wants out of the room than any other. That scene where everyone grouped together to take down Maki was pretty sweet, including Tulip trying to KO her from orbit. This is a pretty great show. The chaotic first episode has given way to slightly less chaotic other episodes, but mostly, the cast is really lovable. Even Harumi is holding some kind of secret, obviously.
The blade that was broken will be reforged!

Happy birthday dude.
I was working on my birthday a week ago. My mom was in the hospital. So that's why I wasn't on that much last week.
Edit: Thinking about giving YuruYuri my famous 6 page review thing. I really like it a lot and I think it deserves it.
You'll be happy to know I'm up to episode 16 of Clannad.

Oh hey! Well at least there's some advancement there.
I am still at episode 16 of G Gundam for Corvo's bet and for Linkman I got penalized because I didn't finish FFV in time so now I have to watch Watamote for him.
Anyways I hope you're enjoying it.

Also, LOL at Evangelion 3.0+1.0
You know what, Valve can follow Anno example.
We don't need Half Life 3, we need Half Life 2+1

At this point I'm sure he's choosing his wording specifically to 'troll'.

I find it especially weird since last year, we watched a ton of good shows like Gurren Lagann, Mawaru Penguindrum, Baccano, Gankutsuo, Steins;Gate and Michiko & Hatchin

One can only assume the fault lies in the person who coordinated the picks for this 'sampler' session. It sounds like they've changed since last year.
I can only recommend you find the person involved and hang them up by their nostrils as fitting punishment!

Glasslip 10 I like the Yuki and Yanagi stories but I think Touko's story is a mess. Kakeru is not a well-written character at all. Thus far I think True Tears is a more interesting story but that might just be because in that series Noa exists.
Honestly, he must be. It can't be that difficult to distinguish between a stylistic choice and bad animation. Often I think that choosing to use a different artstyle can lead to better animation, since it can open up more possibilities. I mean, it would be weird if in say, Aldnoah.Zero, Inaho's leg just stretched across a whole room to get somewhere, wouldn't it? It doesn't fit the style or the atmosphere at all. Yet it's not at all strange to see something like that happen in Koji Yamamura's adaptation of A Country Doctor, since he's using a style that makes the characters almost liquid-like at times. It's part of why I really like surrealism, since it gives animators a lot of freedom. That's how I see it, at least.

I don't know. It may well be the case, but I've heard plenty of people complain about deformed or exaggerated animation by calling it off-model or 'sketchy' or 'unfinished', I mean, let's not forget that famous stretchy face Naruto gif!
Yeah thats night and day difference in quality shows.
