The fanservice in Yamato feels pretty bizarre. I think it actually makes it more weird that everyone just accepts the difference in uniforms without comment or even noticing. I'm not saying I want the characters ogle the women or get nosebleeds or whatever dumb stuff happens in fanservice shows, but the way it's done certainly calls attention to the fact that it's there solely for the viewer's benefit, like we're creepy voyeurs who need x-ray goggles to be enticed to watch a good show.

So I saw some Log Horizon scans that flesh out the world a lot better including a list and description of all classes and a list of the regular subclasses and roleplaying subclasses.
Also Marielle in the official artwork looks down right fierce.
I like how they point out that Marielle's are one of her best points, like 50% of female characters wouldn't have maxed out boobs.

"It's only two episodes."
Luckily for you, it's only just one.
It's not bad-bad like Eiken, just really unfiltered Imaishi.
Yeah, this episode was quite interesting, especially
the ending.
So, Natsuki-chan and Yuuma die? Please no, I wanted Yuuma to join Koujou's harem
Oh, and La Folia saying that Koujou couldn't produce her heir if he stayed in Yuuma's body. Shame she is leaving the island.
So which Log Horizon character is Satoshi?

Be interesting to see what's it's like the second time through. Also a Q+A session with Yoshiura. Should be fun times.
Edit: Hmm, might get the Kickstarter canister signed if there's some signing going on.
Now marry that up with the voice actor for Excalibur being the same as Dio Brando from JoJo
Fun fact! Everything I know about Log Horizon comes from people's desperate attempts to persuade me that SAO did not ruin the "trapped in the game" genre forever!

Yea I've heard that there's some really out-of-place fanservice in Yamato. I still think my favorite completely out-of-place fanservice moment is the most ridiculous camera-angle ass shot in the second episode of GITS when the Major is getting out of a Tachikoma. So awful that I had to rewind to comprehend what had just happened.

Becky is best Sensei/Christmas cake/Bride.
There's like no competing against her.
I do consider Ringo officially 2nd best girl now because of her pureness and of course DAT ASS.
Kei is best bro. He wears that Borat swimsuit with pride.

So that's it for Kurapika and Leorio, at least for now. Too bad. I never like the sound of the word "training", so hopefully Heaven's Arena is a little more than that and not just filler until we get to Yorknew.

WHy would one think its filler?
Heavens Arena, I thought had really some of the flashiest moments yet in the anime and one of the most tensest and suspenseful moments, not to mention finally introducing the best song on the ost and its remixed version used as well. Personally my favorite arc.

Future Card Buddyfight Episode 4 (EngDub)
Fantastic episode at teaching the rules of the game in an easy to follow format with Kuguru vs the Manager and comments from Gaou. I enjoyed it and seeing the Danger World to add to the variety of worlds in Buddyfight. I probably would try that deck but use different cards as most designs were not that great. I didnt ever realize how wide and extensive the items were, that really sets it apart from Cardfight!! Vanguard and makes it feel like it can certainly be really complex (not to mention that rule of only have a total of three on the field).
Cameos from Cardfight!! Vanguard Link Joker though...So glad Bushiroad gave us this...

This reminded me of the episode of where this one girl hated animals because she got one killed. And then Hazuki nearly commited suicide by breaking a magical law to heal it... but this was much less severe since it was just a girl getting hit by a motorcycle, and no law breaking magic happened to fix shit either. Also there was shipping material.
I'm not exactly sure why they got Seki sensei to ride her motorcycle though, right in front of the girl even, as she was climbing up the hill on a bike, which she used to fear. Actually, I do, I just think that was really extreme....
Oh right, Hana learned how to ride a bike.

There was some digital only place publishing it for awhile, wasn't there? I'm assuming they went out of business.I would settle for regular translations of the manga.

Actually i made too many gis because i was excited.
I can post my tentatives 2 & 3 if you want
*nods to spoiler*
Way to late to scream "this isn't what i wanted" when you messed things up to the point of no return.
Damn that episode ending

Good lord the best new anime of the season continues to be just that. This episode was off the charts on the :SDBurton level. The love is so pure and the garden is so strong. Have to say its crazy
. It's so non nonchalantly progressive, its just bizarre. And pretty awesome. That shit happens in any other yuri anime and bombs are flying all over the place.
And man they are really going all out on teasing that
for the show. I hope it happens next episode.

how the older sister is totally okay with her younger sister being in a relationship with another girl and being okay with it with the way she found out
And man they are really going all out on teasing that
third pair
Yeah, there's definitely some pretty strong parallels between the casts of Gunbuster and Diebuster. Nono is a lot like Noriko and Lal'C is similar to Kazumi. Tycho would be Jung and there's even the challenge to a duel during operations.
Yeah, I didn't go into some details that people seemed divided on such as the art for one. Watching Diebuster closely after Gunbuster I could see it being a bit jarring for some. Even if the CG doesn't look as good as the hand drawn and makes it seem more dated in ways, I still like the style and art of Diebuster myself. The animation during the fights and all the explosions and everything looks great as well.
Yeah, after watching Gunbuster I wondered what things would be like from the perspective of Earth. Due to the large time advancement things didn't seem as advanced as I would think they would be.
There were some things that are limited due to time, and I suppose ultimately don't matter perhaps, but I would have liked to have seen or heard more of the history of the new Gunbusters and such. The other crew members as well. During the battle of episode/OVA 4 I felt worried for them on one hand but on the other, the way all the characters are just introduced to you very quickly, it also had a "who was that again?" type response to it for me.
Despite some flaws or shortcomings it may have though I ultimately still like the show overall.
-I haven't seen the show yet but nice avatar as well right now with monocle Lum, haha.

What ?
The older sister is NOT OK with it ... she think this is weird she is ( atm ) trying to convince herself that this isn't it , like self suggestion ... she is not ok with it

She does NOTHING about it. She doesn't tell her sister to stop. She doesn't tell the other girl to stop. She doesn't use any of her authority as the president of the student council to get them to stop. She catches them directly in the act and blushes. She thinks about them kissing again and starts blushing. She gets her hands on the paper saying they love each other and does nothing.
If she was really bothered by it she did nothing for an entire episode to display it.

Inuyasha is legitimately good. I can't really find too much issue with the rest of that list, though (although I wouldn't really consider Bleach to be particularly watchable).
Yeah, Yusaku doesn't show up too much largely because he can just completely outclass Conan, and so they have to come up with reasons to keep him off the table. Yusaku's appearances are pretty much always enjoyable, too. But he can't show up too often because he'd just solve all the problems in the series, so he needs to always be on the run from his publishers or out of contact.
Or have Conan continue being obstinate about receiving help from his parents. He has such a funny complex with them. I think Yusaku enters into that realm of indomitable entity, so yeah, they can't have him be the panacea to every solution, haha. Reminds me of like... Sejiro in Rurouni Kenshin or something.
Next episode explains his reasonings for that. As for the latter, that gets touched on as the show continues.

Yes he did
Yes , this is the cold hard truth.
Actually ( this is true ) i'm going to do a body check-up on monday and another the week afterwards ..you can't be too carefull.
As i said ,
she does nothing because she freezes and she unfreeze by convincing herself that this can't be it . She is not "ok" with it , otherwise she wouldn't peek on the girls cleaning the pool. She is bothered but can't act.
