I'm pretty sure that's new material for the anime a.k.a "filler".
It being new material only makes it all the more perplexing that they would invent such an uninteresting story.

Some of AnimeGAF seem more active on Twitter than in here or IRC! It's actually requires a bit of effort to keep up all the sources of impressions!
I'd put good money down on the idea of that being made within 5 years.

It's actually what made me think it was real for a second.

Fake Anime Chart makers can't even make good fake charts these days. Back in my day, we had aspirational anime on dem charts, now it's basically the same crap as what actually gets made!
It can be a freeer space then either I suppose.

It only appears to be poisonous, but actually it's genius.
It's difficult to maintain even false hopes forever.
Well the advantage of twitter over GAF or IRC is that you can curate your own community. Or even communities, with tweetdeck.
Twitter is basically the entire reason I vanished from AnimeGAF, in no small part because I am now too ADHD to post anything longer than a few sentences.
Twitter: not even once.
The disadvantage is 140 characters per tweet. Yuck.
We should try to think of the worst possible matches for unadapted works.
Yotsubato by White Fox.
It definitely has its weaknesses too. I try not to be tied too exclusively to any one webspace.
Also looser guidelines. You know what I speak of.

I dunno about you, but I know that the Zaku is clearly the coolest mobile suit, so of course I'd chase it!

Well, that means there's no pressure or outlet to write anything substantial making it even easier to just shoot from the hip. It's perfect for today's generation of time-strapped young adults!
Ironically time-strapped because they end up spending all their free time on twitter.

Hatekeyama DEEN isn't bad.
He'll only direct the first three episodes and then hand it off to someone else.
He did a better job with that in Rozen Maiden.

Please leave my greatest fears out of this.
The problem here is that you're watching Glasslip.
Crest of the Stars Episode 4:
Alright, I have had my issues with the downright glacial pacing on this program in previous episodes, but this is the first episode where leisurely pacing and a downright odd choice in music led to a weaker episode. This wasn't another leisurely stroll on the way to the Imperial Capital this is the episode where they were spelling out that a very long war is about happen and they need to jettison the main characters for apparently some long winded rationale that honestly I stopped paying attention to. The situation called for brevity, urgency and tension not a god damned pan flute.

That 140 character limit is the reason I don't use twitter other than to respond to others.
Hanayamata 11
Close enough. There's still the weird dissonance that comes from the fact that her family speaks Japanese at home anyway, but what can you do.
The episode itself sets up the final complication before the finale, and they pull the "Kotori gambit" from Love Live S1 where one of the cast members is going to leave the show (I know it's happened many times before, but Love Live is still in my head), and I'm not sure how I feel about this particular piece of visual symbolism. It was used in the preview last week as well, which basically "spoiled" this complication. But maybe the dramatic irony makes this episode a bit different and they can let the audience know what will happen to Hana without having to completely spell it out to them.
So if this was pure jdrama, I would expect the plane to be diverted back to Narita and for Hana to reunite with the rest of the girls before the dance contest. But since I assume that this show is better than that, I am hoping that the reunion happens a year or so later, when the girls are about to enter high school and they all suddenly see her again.
I mean, that's just as contrived as well of course, but I understand the need to make the show itself narratively fulfilling by providing a happy ending. Seeing the girls start high school also basically allows room for a sequel, assuming the manga/light novel hasn't already covered that already.
I think they kept saying the festival is in a week to let us know that she'll be back in time. I'll be pleasantly surprised if Hana doesn't show up for the dance. There has to be a happy end though.
Also this was better and more believable than what Kotori did I think.
Bad anime.
turn it off

Recently, My Sister is Unusual 05
This must be the most depraved "pool episode" I've ever seen. Imouto is scared to go into the pool but when she does the bottom half of her bikini falls off immediately. When onii-chan notices, to hide that she isn't wearing anything down there he kisses her... (what?!)
Later, someone returns imouto's missing bottoms to onii-chan while he is at school. While pondering whether imouto is crazy, he starts rubbing her pantsu all over his face without noticing everyone in his class is watching him.
This is so fucking stupid. Anime is dead.

Well, I had to stop half way through the first episode, it's probably one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
I can understand that viewpoint. I just kinda consider it in the same realm of the movie though. Nothing can tarnish vanilla E7 and there were a couple really great scenes in AO that got me going. CE has none of it, outside of the launch sequence.
Bought Arakawa finally.
Kinda funny that buying S1 and S2 separately costs like $8 less than buying them in that bundle. There's no difference between the two either lol
Also PSA:
Otorimonogatari (aka best girl Nadeko arc) is up for pre-orders now!
