Naruto Shippuden: Season 17 Episode 431 To See That Smile, Just One More Time
It had Sasuke.
I always wondered, where does Sasuke team sleep and such after leaving. They cant just always lounge around and relax in abandoned factories and etc.

Love Live 01-13
Yeah so I finally watched this to see what the hype was about and did not get it. In fact, wow this shit straight up pissed me off! Idol music, sure thats fine, its all done by computers anyway, generic cg dances that real idols do w/e nothing complex about that, school setting yawn but w/e, super bright budget animation I can dig it I was looking for something different .... but the characters!
Out of the 9 characters only like 3 actually wanted to be idols, the rest were doing it out of circumstance or straight up had the spare time while aspiring for something more....
THEN THIS BITCH
Mother fuckin Honoka
I know that was not the point of the show but damn what a terrible message. Talented singer songwriter, heh just make generic idol music with no passion. Got the talent to be a world class ballerina haha no fuck that, make uninspired dances for a bunch of uncoordinated girls. Got recognized for your hard work making costumes for 9 girls, haha don't take that once in a lifetime offer, stay with me because I'm Honoka and I have no plans for the future and neither should you!
Gonna rant and rave to everyone I know for another week I'm sure... then buy all the Maki wallscrolls, figures, towels, dvd's, cd's, trading cards, plushies, and whatever else I can find! GOTTA SUPPORT THE ONLY REAL PERSON IN THIS DAMN FRANCHISE!
Oh god that was the point of all this wasn't it....

Just comes in, listens to their greater dreams and aspirations, and convinces them to be some generic idol that does not standout instead of trying to be the best singer/song writer possible, the best ballerina, and even worse her best damn friend WHO GOT A FULL DAMN RIDE TO A FASHION PROGRAM ABROAD who said that was her dream several times. NOPE stay with me and be an idol that makes no money, has no opportunity, and lets just completely ignore that one shop selling merchandise of us without our consent even if its illegal for several different reasons. Lets all forget that and do what I wanna do because I wanna do it.

I don't think I will ever understand idols. Not sure if I want to either lol. Some things are better left unknown.
This:
Availability Information
Due to production issues, episode 12 of SCHOOL-LIVE! will be delayed. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
Oh, I guess that's good to hear. Hopefully it airs before I've got to head off to work.
The pool ep was #9, and yeah, episodes 3-9 were a complete trainwreck that was too much moe SoL and just a single tense/dreadful scene per episode. Then there's all the fanservice that was added in for no reason...
Things have gotten more interesting after ep 10 since that's when things finally started to go wrong, but I think I would've rather had all this despair better spread out among the episodes, rather than what we got:
Ep 1: Moe, moe, moe... surprise!
Ep 2: A bit of insight on the girls' situation
Eps 3-7: Lingerie Miki time (plus flashbacks!), fanservice on the rise
Eps 8-9: More fanservice, SoL, moe... then Taroumaru goes away...
Eps 10-11: Shit hits the fan. Hard.
Ep 12: Girls graduate
from mortality?

Eureka 7 ep. 27-29:
Picking up a ton more of the plot details as everything finally comes to the surface about Eureka, her origins, and what is really going on in this world. Friggen' George and Rei parts with Holland were kinda sad and that whole thing was really bloody as hell. The show does a reat job of masking its gruesome under-belly, then dropping it on you all at once... Man.

SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesnt Exist 5 & 6
Glad there were r18 bl doujins in this for wide appeal, nice covers. Kind of sad that Tanukichi isnt into that, and also didnt try some of the devices. Would have been hilarious.
His costume ought to remove the socks though.

though the scene when Anna had it on her and then he could feel it vibrating too, I couldnt stop laughing. He was getting so into that feeling and then his face and the giraffe. If only clothes had even been off of him too.

Yes.
I don't get idols, either, but the rhythm games are fun.
Also Nico is actually the best but Maki is still top tier so you pass.

Indeed. I'll never understand the idol craze. The whole thing just seems like nothing but junk food for people who get overly excited at seeing colourful cute anime girls dancing, frolicking, and being cute. It boggles my mind how insane people can get for idol anime.
Honestly, the anime industry would be so much better if people just calmed down and acted more mature about their favourite shows, because some people might not enjoy the genre that you love!
On another note: EVERYBODY WATCH G GUNDAM IT'S GOT THE BEST ANIME GIANT ROBOTS AND IT'S GOT THE MANLIEST MAIN CHARACTER IN EXISTENCE WHO DOES MARTIAL ARTS IN GIANT ROBOTS AND HE'S SO COOL AND AWESOME!!! WATCH IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!

Gundams with super powers are the fucking worst and G Gundam is only good if you view it as a comedy.

Honoka got sick and forced Muse to withdraw from Love Live!
Honoka acted like a child and wanted to quit being an Idol for some stupid reason.
Umi is top tier just because she set that bitch straight.
Hibike and JoJo

AnimeGAF, help me. Since the summer season is ending and the next season doesn't offer that much interesting things for me (and except 1 or 2 shows I will watch the interesting things in a weekly stream), which of these shows (except "all" of course) shoudl I watch first?
- Black Lagoon
- Bokurano
- Ef
- Rokka no Yuusha (seen EP 1)
- Ryuugajoi Nanana no Maizoukin (seen EP 1)
- Shinsekai Yori
I also still have some other stuff, like JoJo Stardust S2, Hibike, LoGH, KanColle and DRRR, but from those I've already seen a few episodes (and stuff like LoGH will take time).

Ef is my absolute favorite romance series in anime. I highly recommend memories and melodies.Sölf;179820400 said:

Okay, gonna talk about dubs here for a second, and my view may vastly differ with the majority, but I've never held the belief that dubs need to be 100% authentic. That is recipe for turning out boring lackluster dubs.
Remember the Deadman Wonderland dub? That was a dub that took a silly show, and made it sillier for the better, mostly. Latter on, they turned down the crazy in the dub because it was going on Toonami.
And it was worse for it. It lost that crazy feel that people liked, and became too serious. Too straight faced.
Now, the recent Jojo dub. It's a dub that takes the series, and plays it too straight. It's boring in comparison to the original. Which is a mistake because Jojo is supposed to be over the top, and fucking out there. Good performances can't save a dub that is too straight faced in a silly series.
Prison School is a show that needs the Deadman Wonderland dub treatment. It needs to be boisterous and overblown, or it's just going to be boring in comparison to the sub. And the idea that it needs to be authentic is silly to me. Prison School is a show that has no boundaries. It's at its best when it has no boundaries. When it's being that over the top gross show that we like/love. The idea that the dub needs to settle down and be serious is absurd to me. It strikes me as...well...
*insert no fun allowed pic here*
And I did find the joke funny. Though that may be my odd sense of humor at work.

Out of those, I've seen all but Bokurano and Ef.
I dunno what the popular opinion is on Nanana's Buried Treasure, but I really enjoyed it. It's fun, and adventurous. It's also, unfortunately, kind of unfinished. The ending was... less than satisfactory.
Shin Sekai Yori MIGHT be the top quality of those I've seen, but it's also an extremely heavy series, and pretty damn dark, to boot.
Rokka feels like something that would be really easy to marathon. Definitely was my most anticipated series from this season, week by week, once it picked up.
Black Lagoon is relatively long and although I do have some nostalgia for it, it's mostly just badass action repeat ad nauseum. Not a bad thing, by any stretch, but definitely nothing deep.
So there you go that doesn't answer your question at all! I guess if I were forced to pick one, I'd say Rokka?

Lol dat Love live powderkeg in every anime fan.
As someone who was an AKB fan for like 5 years before falling off the wagon, Love Live pointed out a bunch of crap I hated about the idol industry lol. Heck now that I'm thinking about it.... Holy fuck! Is Love Live an alternate reality version of Girls Generation!? both had 9 members, both had a member want to leave for fashion school.... but in real life that chick got kicked out in a nasty public scandal haha.

I don't agree!
I think the ending could've been done better, but it was fine. Also, the ending is never why anyone was watching the show, it was for the constant tension and wondering who was going to turn on or back up whom in the next scene. It was great.

In general, I've hard time remembering the last time I've seen a show with so many twists and reveals. Sometimes it becomes almost overwhelming and too much.
Still lots of things to tie up in the last 40 minutes, I hope it will stick the landing.
You cheeky, cheeky bastards.
And into the mindfuck, 3deep5me and
depression
because the show, having already offed Himari and Masako (+100 troll points), seems to be going for Ringo now. The amount of deathflags she received here was unholy and in both openings, she's shown to be consumed by flames like Momoka. I imagine that at least with Himari, I haven't yet seen the last of her but given the second OP, her odds aren't looking very good.
With the increase of the loaded terminology like: Frozen World, Chosen and Unchosen ones, becoming "invisible" this is becoming more and more abstract. I'm not quite sure what is up with all that, whether it's just about becoming
anonymous cogs in the capitalist machine, or becoming "unloved" or something. Maybe once
Sanetoshi's grand plan will get revealed, things will become more clear for me.
Mr Pinkhair by the way, turned out to be a literal ghost. And so do Shouma's parents, whose reveal short time before was already pretty shocking After all the stuff Sanetoshi pulled and the grandiose talk in eps 9 and 13 I had him pegged as some kind of god or something.
Still lots of things to tie up in the last 40 minutes, I hope it will stick the landing.

Did they also copy the generic, one note character design when they were creating Honoka?
Aye. I love the show but it is a lot (too much) to take in in one viewing. It kind of has this problem of you need to digest each episode, but you can't wait too long between episodes or you'll forget important details. I've watched it twice through and select episodes more than that and I still feel like I'd find new things if I watched it again.
True words!
The resolution to the mystery is completely fine. And the second half of the last episode doesn't change the fact that Rokka as a whole was an amazing ride.

All three were on my watch list, started rewatching G Gundam but only made it 3 episodes since I already saw... most of it. Gurren and Gunbuster are those shows I've had for forever but never got around to watching lol. Might have to get that over with.
Rokka no Yuusha was like going on a roller coaster that was pretty neat and then throwing up at the end. Don't wanna go on that ride again and would not recommend it to anyone.
That's cool, but I still don't agree!
And going by reactions in this thread at the time the ending aired, neither do most people who watched the show 'round these parts!

Eureka7 ep 30-32:
, Why are the bombing the ground causing the attacks on the civialians, how is that savig humanity? Also, soo to see the crazy psycho, Anemone, again. Looks like she is the same as Eureka? No mind games of
MAn, I need to pay real close attention to some of these other new details because they are very ambiguous...
OK, I'm losing some major plot points here. Who are these "Observer" kids helping the General,
are they aliens as well, a 3rd race?
seperate dimensions this time though
Some of the answers to those questions are spoilers, but something you probably should have picked up on:
Those are "antibody" Coralians. This means exactly what the name implies. The bombs are charges with very deep penetration intended to provoke the coral's natural antibody response to wounds.
Eureka Seven demands a lot of close attention to detail to fully understand its plot. Despite the comparisons to Eva that are often made of the show, all of the weird phrases and references actually do mean something here. It's the sort of show that can be a lot better on a second or third go if you didn't understand it all the first time.

Haven't seen this 14th episode yet and since someone posted a picture of it a few hours ago, I just watched it now. And god, I missed these guys. All this crazyness around is just wonderful. I would really like to see a second season sometime in the future. Just the daily wackiness of the park would be enough for me. And more Air. We can't have enough Air.
