You know the stupidest thing about this anime that I haven't really mentioned? Why the fuck is she wearing a magical chastity belt when the goal of her curse is to have sex with onii-chan? WTF is this?

So Tatsuya has wall hacks. His power truly has no limits. And with
the next episode will be just as much of a slaughter than it would be otherwise because no one can stand up to him. I haven't read the VN at all but it would be interesting to see two god mode characters duke it out in this show.

Is there even a magician that could oppose him? Isn't his aunt somewhere up there in power?

Ghost girl posseeses imouto and almost goes all the way with onii-chan. However, onii-chan can now see ghost girl and has come to the conclusion that imouto is a lesbian with ghost girl. He is very understanding about the whole thing, she is free to love who she wants and wear whatever perverted clothing she wants. It's totally fine with him!...
Half way...
We happened to be talking about metal gear a few days ago now this:
I'm laughing and crying at the same time.

I am expecting a "Toradora" ending. I can't imagine how she could make it back for the dance unless she decides to fly back right after arriving in the States or something.
And hey, Kotori is so good she gets to go abroad. That's normal! lol
Oh shit, someone should send this to Dan Ryckert. It'd break his brain.

WTF is with these references? I burst out laughing at that.

Fairy Tail 1-2 - My first watching of one of these kinds of shows (super long shonen show). I don't expect to watch it all but...the first two episodes weren't terrible by any stretch.
Lets see if I last longer than a dozen or so episodes. Then again with a shitty season (for me) approaching maybe I'll keep going.

Once again, watchbets being used for the power of evil
I'm starting to think the whole "watchbets" thing is being used to watch reprehensible anime with the excuse he had to because it was a "watchbet".

Where do you guys even set up watch bets? The IRC?
It was neat to learn how the anime took the source material into a different direction from the outset. Though the art style shift wasn't as stark as Aku No Hana it's neat to see directors throw in their own spice on adapting the source material rather than feeling obliged to make everything a 1:1 adaptation.
That it's basically one of the best shows to ever be created.
Though not liking the first episode may not be a good sign as I think it's pretty representative of the tone you're going to find throughout. Give it a few more episodes before bowing out.

This is like Harry Potter if Rowling decided to pander to sweaty 34-year old nerds instead.
I mean, that's what half the fanbase is like now, but it's what they became rather than what they were.
Also the guy in the back died in Attack on Titan somewhere.
wait
Harry potter didn't invent magic stories.
Besides is it the story your problem or the fanbase ? Mushoku tensei story has some rough spots but it's a very intresting world and the change of perspectives is one of his high points

Tomino is the director from start to the ending. He only actually is credited for the script of two episodes near the ending of ZZ though.
I knew it was a shoujo as I always wiki new shows to see what they are about. Sounds like the anime is superior though. Best part of show is Momoka's personality.
Now this one adaption butchering I don't mind since its superior than the source. Scumbag Momoka carried the whole show. I think many would drop the show if they decided to stick to the source.
Don't scare the children.
I just started reading it, mostly because of its premise. Seeing an adult in a trapped in a fantasy world seems a nice change of pace, though maybe that's because I am an adult and am a bit tired of japanese media all being about kids so it being about adults is an automatic attractor.
Did not actually expect an actual proper reincarnation.

As of this past May, Masao Maruyama was still struggling to have a definitive budget and support for completing it but of course assured he would make it sooner or later before dying... after all, he has said time and time again that MAPPA was created with the principal purpose of finishing The Dream Machine.
Mr. Maruyama didn't talk much specifically about the film on the more recent Otakon 2014, though. Nonetheless there is an interesting conversation in there about the further use of archived animation assets since the MADHOUSE days!
Do you mean the same new GONZO that reported ¥440 million in net income this July's shareholders meeting? Survival at its finest.

Use PMs here.
Phoenix wanted me to watch SAO so much he accepted the watchbet without knowing what anime I was gonna give him. All he knew was that it was something bad.
Doesn't the show itself make reference to its shoujo roots?
Probably a change that comes in later chapters. YuruYuri's first chapter in vastly different in the manga compared to the anime because the anime had the benefit of knowing how the characters would eventually become (big change is that Akari's older siscon sister used to be an older siscon brother!!!!). Actually, the mangaka for YrYr rewrote the first chapter to make it closer to the anime, and thus firmly establishing the retcon.
All that money saved by halfassing Blade & Soul no doubt.

Well pretty much why i started reading it too , and why i had so much trouble putting it down ( read 20 volumes ).
The fact that he is an adult make it much more intresting considering the choices he make and the trouble he gets into. But the deciding factor was that BIG twists early in the books where everything change for the better in terms of settings/story/adventures.
In the end the evolutions of each characters are much more believable than the forced drama - harem induced that every LN falls into.

Didn't Recently My Sister is Unusual get made into a live action show? Wonder if there's anywhere to watch that.

Funfacts: narrator mention it on the 1st episode that the manga is published in nakayoshi, a shojo magazine
Yes, a live action movie. Out of all manga that could be adapted into a movie, someone decide that this one is the best to adapt into live action...
New NisiOisiN series announced.

What is it with the trope of a character leaving forever and not wanting to tell their friends/other characters before it's too late or not at all?
First
and then
. It's silly. If I'm going to leave and screw plans up/make everyone unhappy, why the fuck would I keep it a secret? Is there any cultural reason I don't know of or, is it an easy excuse for the writer to create a really, really lazy dramatic scene? Why are characters so damn short-sighted. Agh.

Well Many expected it.
The question is whenever we'll get the last part animated or not.
( they better do it )
Probably the "it's hard to say goodbye" thing. Easier to leave without getting super emotional.

I recall something about his aunt or other relative that's supposed to be pretty strong. If they're going to fight at some point I assume that's something they'll save for the end.

New series
Persona 4 The Golden v1: 12,775 BD+DVD. And this is a low-price volume with an event ticket. Also further proof that Aniplex's new policies towards what they sell on Amazon means the stalker is almost useless for their series now.
...and that's about it, really.
Next week, the debuts for Ao Haru Ride, Free ES, and Rail Wars.

Wow, that's both fairly late and inaccurate, Crunchyroll!
Nah, the first printing of Zoku-Owarimonogatari also contains the first episode of the new series. And that's it. Not even sure how they got it that wrong.
(oh, and it's "Bibôroku")
There will probably still be more short short stories and the like, but as far as actual novels go, that might well be it indeed.
