I'm pretty sure Yuno 2 was killed before even episode 1. I think not too long after Yuki and Yuno's first meeting.

Phi Brain (S2) 44-50
I think I prefer the final puzzle battle in this more than I did in season 1. Regardless, I am curious about one thing. How did Whist end up? Freecell ordered him away, and we see him after he lost to Kaito in that tag maze, so... who exactly was he?

Yay! We're back to the Jin plotline! ... And apparently Raetsel has the same puzzle ability that Kaito, Rook and Freecell have. That'll make it interesting. Although honestly? I already figured out the answer to her door riddle before the episode. It's kind of obvious. The trick is to stop her from rotating the platform.
Still, changing the rules to a puzzle in the middle of a game is terrible. I think only Herbert and a few POG givers did that because they were sore losers. (Speaking of Herbert, I saw him in the OP. I hope he's less... off this time).

I'm almost convinced he's Freecell's father, but...

Aniplex begs to differ. You can't ask ludicrous prices for old, nice anime. New, hot stuff is different!
Happy Birthday Azula.
I still don't know how that tank got way up that cliff,haha. Just some of the silliness of GuP.
The ship thing is briefly commented on in a later episode and then I think it was the third DVD/BD special goes into more detail on it.
I'd like to take a look at Urusei Yatsura sometime.
If you're not aware there's a couple of episodes referred to as 5.5 and 10.5 and one of them goes into more details about the rules.
It's mentioned there are sensors in the shells and/or tanks as far as immobilization. Other things are mentioned such as even if a tank wasn't actually built during the WW2 time frame but as long as blueprints existed then a school could request permission to use it.
Happy birthday Azula!
This looks like something out of Turbo Teen, which is a good thing.
I can't wait to see this scene with Hyouka level artistic value:
I'm dead serious.
Hmm that will be something indeed.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Date A Live: 01
I tossed it in the backlog back when it was airing, and with a second season coming up, I thought it'd be time to give it a watch.
Granted, I've already seen the first three episodes... but still, it's weird, and yet oddly interesting. Harems... can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

I watch all fate and Rakyou and yet don't understand many episode
Episode that I do get the jokes is really funny though. F/SN knowledge is a minimum requirement.

Hidamari Sketch 04
Nevertheless... I think I'm getting the hang of this show now.
Also that was lewd.
This episode started pretty weak but constantly improved till the end into something very enjoyable. I'd like this a lot more if it weren't so :shaft.

You're out of luck. This was done prior to Fate Zero (as far as I remember) so nothing from that show appears. And Kara No Kyoukai is basically one of the earlier works of Type Moon and the large inspiration for other works, or something. All I know is that none of the characters really appeared. Maybe once in the later episodes but don't count on them.
So outside of Saber, Gilgamesh and Rin you wouldn't recognize any characters. I'd recommend playing FSN but only if you have the time to put forward to reach the third route. Which they force you to play the first two.
And by the time Ufotable does the new FSN anime, you might've lost interest by then.
I would almost go so far as to say that the Utena dub is a greater sin than Sword Art Online. Almost.
Chuu2 has regained my approval.
Mitsudomoe is kinda odd. But also stuffl ike Mahoraba, Hanamaru Kindergarted and Joshiraku has been left out to dry so it has company. Really fun company that Id like to own
2 Kons in a season? SEASON OF THE FOREVER EVER
By all means enjoy the hell out of season one and run the fuck away from season two.

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha released today. Now to not watch the show until Uka and Touka start getting into the groove of their romance story as I really don't give a crap about the little sister. Anybody know how many episodes it's scheduled for?
You're horrible.
That dub is horrible.
I swear half my love for Utena is in the voice acting.

Next episode is my favorite of the first season, though it's painfully :shaft so YMMV.
"Hey guys do you want to hear a bunch of drunk men on helium pretending to be teenage girls? Put theses knives in your ear drums first, it'll work better that way."
The Utena dub isn't an amusing bad. It's just flat and dry, and sucks all the life out of a vibrant cast.
4Kids Entertainment Presents Revolutionary Girl Utena and her cousins.

I'm not taking this lightly. Granted... there's a part of me that thinks that they won't care, because the group isn't made up of people who are anime aficienados. That's where the real problem comes in.
I'm fine with dubs in other situations though unless it can't be helped.
Saber Lion is a miracle and the only reason to watch that.
Now thats what Im talking about!
This show is a lot of fun. Really really stupid fun but fun nonetheless. FIlled with waifus too. Gonna need to hear your ranking when its done.
I even made it that far. Unaware of the horrors that lay just ahead. He will soon realize.
Don't insult your friends like that. Nobody deserves the Utena dub.

Well better not even bother watching this. Don't think it could possibly catch up with the manga with 10 episodes. At least not reach the point I care about.

Frankly, I'm not fond of Mega Man X arguments over X and Zero when it's the same damn thing, and I'm forced to sit through most of it.
On top of Smash Bros lists which are also the same damn thing.
And apparently, I lost one of my cards on the subs, so I need to sell it even better.
EDIT: Just said fuck it. Subs we go.
More subtle adorable lewd awaits you.
I first watched Utena dubbed and took a liking to it as a result. My first Gaf tag was because of that.
Sounds like something the Utena show would have come up on its own.

Dennou Coil and Ben-to are my top two unlicensed shows. Would buy both in a heartbeat.
Absolutely would.
Ursula's Kiss at last.

It tried. Originally they attempted to license it as Ursala's Kiss or something like that. I shudder to think of how the show would have been butchered.

Subete no aware
It's probably short hand for cop show, since it's not like there are any detective shows that don't follow the L&O format these days that aren't already imports. lol
It must be interesting to live in a country where people can just air foreign shit subtitled and that's considered entertainment. I don't know if Americans could even handle Spanish language programming in prime time, let alone French or Danish. And despite the fact that Canada is officially bilingual, there is no French TV on any national television network.
I will say, I wonder what would happen if Netflix not only got into the simulcast game, but if they decided it was worth it to go after the Japanese nerd market. Presumably they're the ones with the bucks and the name recognition to get some bigger acquisitions, and there must be a lot of Asian customers in America that are underserved by cable companies charging 50 bucks a month for random Asian channels.
(What if Netflix just outright bought Crunchyroll and integrated that whole stream into their pipeline? Would simulcast anime suddenly be mainstream? Will Slate start covering it since it's suddenly hipster to do so?!)
Sorry, I want my yuri anime to be good!
Well, I suppose not watching it at all is the extreme of that self-control. lol
Is that moe, or tsundere?
The only problem I have with some english dubs is cutting/editing parts out. Then its not the original anymore. an audio translation is still not a bad thing.

Season 1 was pretty bad, which was understandable given how cheap it was and how they didn't seem to care much about the release. It improved somewhat for the other two seasons, when they realized they were dealing with a cult classic.
Ikuhara still had to come to America just to make sure they didn't fuck up the movie like they did the TV show.
They tried to market it as the next Sailor Moon, yea that got dropped quickly.
Beyond kids shows on Nick or Cartoon Network, I don't think they really do that anymore.
Thankfully not for Utena. Cardcaptor Sakura is the worst of the worst. It got edited so much they renamed it to Cardcaptors.
No, they said it was from the same director, which is true except for Satou and Igarashi doing the first and last series respectively.

Tonari no Seki-kun OAD
So I get 3 episodes of Seki-kun this week. It's a miracle. First part was pretty innuendo filled. Second part was sureal, mostly because I felt like my thoughts were being read before me by Kanahana. And it was amazing.
Never have I felt more in sync with an anime character
It's also based on the old sound mix that is all out inferior!
RIP me.
Still had the Sailor Moon connection that got dropped once they realized what they actually got here.
Well Netflix is gonna simulcast Knights of Sidonia in 2014 although their approach is different. The show airs in the spring and they gonna wait till summer to stream all the episodes subbed and dubbed. However I doubt The Atlantic is gonna write another article about how we can take anime seriously this time.
I really don't think comparing Utena to Sailor Moon S is inappropriate(pretty sure they had this specifically on the DVD cover, actually), especially since many moments in both feel similar.
Which is understandable, sharing the same director.

I don't know about that. Crunchryoll doesn't really seem to be pulling in the 'big bucks' and it's not like the anime market is growing exponentially or anything. It's not even like the Japanese side gets that much money out of having their shows streamed on Crunchyroll either. I actually imagine that the biggest upside for them is that the existence of Crunhyroll, and other legitimate streaming sites, has helped to severely neuter fansubbing.
