The only thing I hate more than wiseasses with dogs as avatars are snooty people who deign to tell people how to enjoy their food.
Dipping sushi in soy sauce is common. Not everyone has the money to blow $300 at a 3 Michelin star sushi bar every time they want to eat sushi.

I can't take any interesting screencaps without spoiling stuff. So I'll just leave this great shot in a link.

I'm bummed that this awesome ride is almost over.

Yeah, Tonari first. It's like 8 minutes long. Then crazy Nobunaga blowout.
I hope Wizard Barristers turns out alright. Not confident in the director given Galilei Donna, but the concept has a lot of potential. Next Sunday, yes? Looks like Thurs, Sat, and Sun are my anime days this season. Speaking of which, when do Kill La Kill and Samumenco come back?

It represents two different kinds of satisfying victories. There's the "I'm a badass and I'm going to break this guy who underestimated me right from the start" route and there's the "I'm an underdog and gonna go through hell, but when I win, everyone and their mothers are going to be so shocked that they'll feel inferior for losing to someone like me" route. Akagi represents the former and Kaiji represents the latter. I personally find the latter more satisfying.
God I miss the show, already watch it numerous time.. but its already year since my last rewatch, what to do..
I should wait till september though ;__;;
Except its not like that at all, if you playing Mahjong you'd know all the trick isn't impossible.. even as beginner, the biggest block for doing the move is usually your lack of resolution
In Mahjong you gonna find yourself regretting a lot by your precious move, when your head not following your heart at all.
Its a battle against yourself most of the time (God, such a fascinating game)

Mmm, dat stylish infodumping. Can't tell what the Sage is thinking, which is probably a good mark - I had him pegged as a villain's messenger last episode based on his design, but he could conceivably just be a shifty-looking Gandalf. Excited to find out which (or if it's something else entirely). Dat lore.
Elder Tales sure had a long-ass beta. Probably was early access or some shit. I guess it's basically WoW though.
Love the way everything's going. Even the dungeon adventure stuff, while kind of basic, was interesting. This series is great.

I think there is a difference between underdog, and clueless everydude who lucks into wins. Remember, I've only watched 4 episodes of Kaiji. The guy isn't a skilled underdog, at least not yet. Thus far I've only seen him depicted as a clueless moron.
This changed slightly when he
had 4 scissor cards left and was smart enough to target someone likely to play rock. I'm hoping for more moments like that.
Regardless, I'm not calling Kaiji bad. Just not as satisfying off the bat as Akagi was for me. I'm hoping the series has Kaiji actually becoming smart, and less easily fooled. Akagi started off as the strongest, and I want to see Kaiji become the strongest.
You'd see a lot of macgyver moment from Kaiji don't worry.

Not as bad as I expected going in, though I think I liked the first half better than the second, which runs contrary to a lot of people around here. But I don't think it's a bad show. I'll give it a few more episodes and see where it goes.

Damn all you people that put Flower of Evil so high on your AotY lists. I'm three episodes deep and I feel all kinds of wrong. Also, its a bad show to watch late at night because that closing "song" with the creepy kids singing is nightmare fuel.

Yeah, that song is definitely the stuff of nightmares. I'm finding it stuck in my head sometimes, and I just get creeped out.
*Shudder*
That song's probably one of my favorite ED songs. It's just so amazingly creepy, especially the way it slowly comes in as the episode ends.

I think there's 4 different versions of the Flowers of Evil ED song that are used. The amazing thing is, the song wasn't even composed for the show; it originally came out in 2001.
The original song has a pretty fitting music vid too.

Wow. I think I like the vocals better on the version used in the anime series, but it's a really beautiful song. It never creeped me out the way it did some people, but it went very well with Aku no Hana.
I feel like the versions used in the show are creepier than the original song, which has more of a sad beauty to it. Might just be context though.
EDIT: I think the instrumentation is a big difference, listening to it. The original has all these sad strings, whereas the show version is backed mostly by oppressive marching percussion.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - End
What a great series. I would highly recommend anyone that's even a casual fan of science fiction to pick up this series.
This is has definitely earned its spot as my AotY (haven't watched flowers of evil just yet, given the impressions around here I'm not sure if I should)
As for the ending:

As for the ending:
Yea it was a little cliche and the whole memories system was a little out of left field. But it didn't bother me at all. The cosmo reverser was meant to bring life back to a nearly dead earth I don't see why it wouldn't work on people.

The memories system was foreshadowed earlier when Yurisha was the "ghost" at the heart of the automatic navigation system and Okita was using her memories to guide the Yamato towards Iscandar.

The main focus was on Blondie and Black Hair getting jealous when they found out our lucky guy has more experience than they were aware of.
And so they use a combination of fetishes to lead up to some double loving. The Glasses girl was neglected and stuck pleasuring herself behind the door, and the token loli girl just catches them at the climax of the moment.
Of course, it's what I expected, and it looks like it's slotted before the ending of the 3rd episode where
, but it really isn't making use of the cast at it's fullest. I mean I thought Glasses was actually gonna get her full time in the limelight instead of just being
, but nope. Having expectations for this series is like asking for the moon.

So it's Escaflowne meets historical figures with the insanity meter turned way up. This was pretty entertaining, especially Sir Da Vinci and his horns.
Huh, it has like almost nothing in common with Valvrave. What's with all these odd comparisons to Valvrave?

Yes. Not the first time I did it.

There have been plenty of hentai impressions or mentions scattered through these threads.
I thought there was a "no hentai" rule?
SO! Came back from vacation just in time for the beginning of the Winter Season!

Let's get this out of the way : there was so much Space Adventure Cobra in there I almost squealed in delight, though the wtf was turned up to 12. I want to like it but still on the fence, wait and see.
Nobunaga the Fool 1
Strap yourselves in boys! I really did not expect to be more fired up by this than Space Dandy, but here we are. Also dibs on #TeamJeanne
Nobunagun 1
Pretty much what SDBurton said. Looking forward to what
can do.
Log Horizon 14
Delicious world lore and FINALLY monk girl grew a spine! Awesome!
Tonari no Seki-kun
Reaction gifs goldmine ahoy. Also, given the lenght, you cannot not watch this. That ED is pure genious.

No NSFW images and no risque discussion I thought? Other than that everything is fair game especially since the move to Community.

There was a mean ass looking leaf though. Nice to know that there's an origin of the seeds. They come from ROCKS!

Hmm,
So this arc comes to a close in usual ominous fashion. The cliffhangers in this show slay me.
Hmm,
I'm looking forward to learning the origins of the Monster Rats. It's weird how different some of them look from each other. Especially General guy.

Weird use of color and floral patterns for this show. I mean I guess it probably means something like her isolation but still. It was also kinda of a dull first episode, took too long to set up and the action came pretty late.
Also seems to be different from what I expected where the historical figures were the actual weapons and had their souls apart of it like Shaman King instead of what we have now.
I guess due to it having something to do with Nobunaga, I'll give it another episode.
