I have a much better grasp of rhetoric, therefore words, if you think story and plot are synonymous.
They aren't.

I know people don't want a recap episode, but to be honest, Manglobe probably needs that time.
The characters have been melting in recent episodes.

The writing was fine! It had just the right amount of campiness and drama for it to work as an awesome movie about people in giant robots punching monsters.
Ugh, mecha gets so much disrespect in here nowadays. Though it isn't surprising considering the last great mecha anime that came out was Gundam Build Fighters S1 in late 2013.

I have only ever heard them used as essentially interchangable words - they both refer to the sequence of events that makes up a narrative. The "things happening", as you will. If you believe there to be a difference, please enlighten me as to what that difference is.

So does God Eater get better? Or is still of the same ridiculous nature of the first episode?
Finished Yurikuma Arashi, finally.
I liked it way more than I thought I would when I watched the first two episodes as they aired and then immediately threw it in my backlog to finish later.
I'm not sure the metaphors are super deep (everything seems pretty obvious as to what it's supposed to be), but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Haha. Why do anything, then? Just take the week off.
Story: "The king died, and then the queen died."
Plot: "The king died, and then the queen died of grief."
While they are related, they are not synonymous.

Recap episodes are usually made because of production issues and not because they thought people actually forgot what happened

Ushio and Tora 10
SO I guess they're just going to flat out skip the Kyoura story then. If they were going to do it just in a different order, they wouldn't have put the scene in the beginning. I guess they'll skip the stuff where he shows up again in the future, given that those bits relate to how Ushio beat him. I guess they probably need some cuts to get to the end in time, and relatively speaking his stories probably are easier to cut then some of the others, but it still sucks

It more has to do with nine episodes of content meaning that they're behind on the tenth.

I'm not sure if you could have come up with a less illustrative example if you tried.

The production committee paid for that TV timeslot; it's their responsibility to air something during it.
Now I'm just more confused. I don't understand what sort of difference you intend to illustrate by adding "of grief" - the sentence is essentially unchanged except that the latter version goes into more depth. Could you elucidate your view or, better yet, link to some external source that backs up your position? I mean, when Wikipedia's page on Plot states "Plot (narrative): The story of a play, film or work of literature", it doesn't seem that the majority of people share your view.
Edit: OK, looking at Wikipedia's page on "Plot (narrative)" in detail, I can see where you are coming from and where you quoted your example from, although the distinction drawn being a sequence of events in time and a sequence of casually linked events doesn't seem to carry over to common parlance.
Food Wars 22
The comedy can be a bit hit or miss but when it comes to characterization this show of all shows can fucking nail it. Great episode. I will say that more and more it feels like the food dishes they are making, especially given the time and resource constraints, border on like sorcery. What I mean is that a lot of them seem totally impractical to actually serve in a restaurant. The time, material and effort it would take to make a lot of these dishes would make them ABSURDLY expensive. On a side noted, thin Isami is way more handsome than Takumi. Why do those Italian born brothers have Japanese first names again?
The Six Braves 10
Man Maura is just a grade A bitch now. Like how does she expect the others to react once they learn Hans is fine if they actually went ahead and killed Adelet? Does she want to go HULK SMASH so badly she isn't taking the time to think things through? I'd also say some characters are either a bit too obstinate or gullible for my tastes, I feel my suspension of disbelief is being stretched a bit thin and a few minor dialogue changes probably would have solved that. All that complaining aside (plus the weekly note that I wished the show looked better), I actually though this was a great episode. Really looking forward to next week.
I would have thought that you've been watching anime long enough to know how close to the bone many productions are. They aren't making a recap episode because they think viewers are having a hard time following the plot

A friend just gave me this helpful thing: "The plot thickens." As in, the plot becomes more complicated, while the story remains basic.
Also: http://cinemoose.com/plot-vs-story/
The "majority", to be fair, often conflates things that originally had different meanings - sometimes completely unrelated.

It's Tootsuki, of course the food they are serving would be severely expensive but the alumni there go on to make 5 star restaurants in Paris.

If I had to say there is a difference, I'd say the "story" would be the what you would put on the back of a book or what you'd tell someone in an elevator if you only had 30 seconds to describe something. The plot would be a more indepth treatment of that. Say an outline versus an actual paper. However people use both terms so interchangeable in colloquial speech that I feel you probably have to have to be very anal to really give a damn outside the most precise/academic of scenarios.
Huh I guess I forgot.

Gate ep.10
Of course Rory steals the show again; she is a demi-god afterall. That battle scene at the Inn was pretty gruesome, lol. Then, she pays proper homage to the dead in Japan before going back. It's funny how she was still pissed at Itami for not giving her the sausage and that cold shoulder scene with Risa getting the wrong idea was hilarious.

It's Manglobe, so...yeah. There are honestly bigger challenges that Gangsta faces beyond the production issues. I think it's one of the more poorly realized worlds I've seen in a piece of fiction. All of these factions and locations are constantly in the background but given no mind or explanation, even when they're crucial to having an understanding of just what is going on.

You know, that injection shot technique didn't look really powerful to be honest.
He touched Dony-boy with his sword, and shot something into him?
Okay, the animation for this episode isn't gonna be winning any awards. It's a shame too since this almost the big climatic showdown right here. It needs to look awesome.
Bellamy, were you put in the story only to be human shield?

Not just 1 special forces group, 3 special forces groups at once, lol.
Yeah, the past few episodes have been really good. Notice Takashi and Yusarin haven't really been involved, lol. As was said in the OT, something bad is about to happen to either Yuu, Nao or big bro. This week was too happy, so Maeda has to make us hate life once more before the end of it all.

The weirdest thing about Gate is the fact that the
, while villainous, are portrayed as the least bigoted in comparison to
and the US.
.....Wut?
Russians
China
.....Wut?
i just find it weird how the US is shown to be the most atagonistic towards Japan... Despite us having great relations with them in real life (also have 49k soldiers stationed in the country), and much better relations then they have with China or Russia...
It's weird. I think Gate takes place in some Alternate Earth where US-Japan relations aren't that good. Which I don't know... feels contrived in some way? Like they did it so they could further emphasis how great Japan is.
I just hope it can go back to focusing on the other world, cause anything that deals with politics is really poorly written and thought out. Like despite the author having served in the JSDF, he seems to either lack the knowledge of the JSDF's relation with the US or willing ignores it to push an agenda.
But how does lore fit into this?
Its the future Trump presidency obviously.
Lore is when Plot gets cancer and metastasizes.
Sounds like the kind of thing a WWII revisionist/nationalist would write.

Fuck, that was awesome. Princess is insane and Maura is a royal douche. I'very changed my guess, I'm back to my original pick of Goldov since he has basically sat back and watched this whole thing play out from the shadows, just trying to get in the princess.
