She started becoming that in episode 2 and the process was complete by episode 6 with the plushies. It's like, flash Flanderization.

Kino's Journey 3
Wheeeeeeeeew. So, looks like the theme this time around is "What is tradition?" and "Whose interpretation is the right one?" Interesting to see, since there were a few people who were wrong and right in their interpretations in this episode, but all of them missed the real point, and to point fingers and name their names would be to miss the episode's point, too, I think. It was interesting to see the sort of bookend structure of the episode, with the climax being the poet's agonizing poem. At the heart of that particular story was the poet's inability to interpret the concept of sorrow, which in turn brought greater sorrow upon him.
I think this is a valuable lesson to bear in mind, but not one to apply, so to speak. You must always be careful when making interpretations and judgments, but you should not strive to avoid either, I think. His inability to interpret sorrow at all brought the poet misery, and while it was good of the people to remember his sorrow, living it themselves is not something I would personally covet. Cliched as it is, Kino's statement "To Each His Own" makes sense in this context. Kino could have interfered at numerous points after learning the truth, but why should she? Could she have saved anyone? Could she have stopped the war? And what about last week's lesson on the danger of help?
Even then, though, the lesson is important for the sake of consideration, but not extreme application. We shouldn't just dive hard necked into an interpretation, but living without one at all is no better. Indeed, the land of tradition, where no one had a tradition and therefore a new one was made without anyone knowing it, sort of proves the point. You cannot live without tradition and interpretation, even when you actively seek to discard them. The best you can hope for is to interpret wisely, I suppose, and uphold the good traditions you acquire along the way.

Best girl has finally arrived. I forgot how hard they drived the plot a lot in the early chapters putting emphasis on the girls having a promise as a kid with presumably Raku when they have almost abandoned it by the manga's recent chapters. Also, this chapter was animated well especially some of the faces

I'm watching the dub alright and I hope they are too! It increases the cheese to rediculous levels.
It also uses the word 'buddy' more often so that makes it the superior option by default!
Although I think you should give CardFight!! Vanguard subbed a try some time. The sexual innuendos are stronger apperently.
Sanya from Strike Witches.
True. T_T
That's good, because you're flat out wrong. You don't have to like it, but it's not just random stuff happening because it looks cool.
I made a longer post talking about a specific use of symbolism in response to the weaker claim that the show is just about phallic symbols or something, which I'll quote here.
I don't think there's a person alive who doesn't prefer Joesph to Jonathan
It ran almost 12 years straight on CN and I know you watch Toonami/Adult Swim. How have you not finished it yet?
Cosplayers can be whatever the hell they want, whether it's in or out of character, unless there some special terminology that i am completely unaware of that makes such distinctions.

I'm just going by what Genshiken taught me!
Thanks to Twitter for alerting me to this, but there's a new PV up for Captain Earth on the show's website.
Something about this show is pushing all my hype buttons despite not being a big mecha fan. Beautiful background art, Igarashi's usual skill at storyboarding/direction, nice music (love the vocal track) and an intriguing "mood" to the whole thing. I know the character designs and names for the bad guys are a bit silly, and it could all go a bit E7:AO on us, but I am allowing myself to look forward to this one
Some pretty great visuals and action in the new trailer. But goddamn the character designs. I don't know what Igarashi is going for with Star Driver and now this, with regards to the character art. Why do they look so stupid and tacky? Lol. The mech stuff should be great though!
Could just be one of those medieval swordfighting club things. Kinda larp, but not quite LARP enuff, if u know what i mean.
Mouryou no Hako 8
Things are certainly starting to happen now. So it seems like Sekiguchi
And it seems like
Yoriko is so dumb smh.
The world's creepiest Tetris game.
Things are certainly starting to happen now. So it seems like Sekiguchi
has a wife after all.
Junko is the man with the white gloves, but is he also Hyoue, the boxmaker? And what's his relationship with both the mad scientist guy and the cult leader?
Yoriko is so dumb smh.
Well, I guess if a LARPer doesn't RP, that makes him just a... LAer?
I dunno. I mean, would you show up to Swordfight club with what was definitely a hollow plastic cutlass?

And then an alien gave Sleepy the bird.

We need Venn diagrams.
Gundam Build Fighters 01
It really mystifies me that this, of all shows, is the last bastion of hand-drawn giant mecha on television. Unicorn I can understand, that one's built to appeal to hardcore fans who might very well revolt en masse over CGI. But this show? An extended model commercial aimed at kids, produced by a wholly-owned subsidiary of notorious cheapskate Bandai Namco, should have been the worst victim of the cost-cutting mentality that caused the extinction of 2D mecha everywhere else. There must be executives somewhere in the chain of command that seriously consider Gundam a vanity project.
I'd never heard the word "Gunpla" spoken aloud before, and had always assumed it was pronounced with a long "A". Can't decide whether the actual pronunciation is better or worse.
It's refreshing to see a mom in an action/hobby show who's generally supportive and not all "You've got to spend less time on this nonsense and study more!"

Mushishi - 3
Much like Aku no Hana, the sound design in this is really good. I love the smaller details like muffling their voices when certain characters have the An/Un inside their ear canals, and then creating a distinctly different sound when one character covers another's ears.

Rinko is Best Mom.
I'm not so sure Iori Rinko beats out Mrs. Mankanshoku, but she's up there.
Hmm. It's a tough competition, but I still might give it to Mrs. Iori. I know
Ramba Ral
Him and Chet Rippo!
I remember watching a session play out on the grass one day, and it was basically just a R away from LARP. Could definitely see a plastic cutlass being used to emulate the sacred art of piratey swordfighting.

Absolutely, Hiroshi Nagahama is a master at creating high-quality aural atmosphere.
Watching Mushishi with light off during a silent night is the most terrific experience ever. Nagahama really great at creating atmospheric soundtrack and using them right. The composer deserve many credits too for using many traditional instrumental that enforce the atmosphere. I wonder what instrument they use for all of the soundtrack.
You know, I've seen Sleepy do just about every kind of horrible thing a cop could do, but him deciding to
is perhaps the only time I've ever been fully certain that Sleepy was wrong, even by the morals of Mad Bull.
have sex with his dead friend's little sister AFTER he knew she was a killer
I'm pretty jealous that i'll never get to experience it for the first time again like you are right now.

Is this in Episode 4?
The jumpsuits look like pajamas
pretty much all jumpsuits are just rip offs of Eva's plugsuits anyway!
I want to erase my memory on Mushishi and have that feels on episode 23 again ;__;
I'm not done yet, but from the moment predator alien green goblin wolverine showed up on screen before the opening, I knew this would be a special night.
Here is sleepy gazing lovingly at said monster
Cept the ones in FMP. They're N7 armor before that was a thing.

OK now I'm definately watching Episode 4!
Sleepy's face is basically the best everything in Mad Bull.
Is he having sex? Riding a pogo stick in his sleep? Mopping the floor with his eyes closed? Listening to some head bangin' tunes?
Sleepy alone knows.
