...Yyyyyyyep. This reaction was inevitable.
Wake Up, Girls! 8
This is pretty painful to watch, but at least the girls really are speaking their minds and arguing the whole thing out for all they're worth. Except Mayu, who's still refusing to open up to the others about her past with I-1. I really think it's high time they had that discussion.
Oh, and I guess Nanami is keeping a pretty big secret from the group too now, seeing as how it doesn't look like she's mentioned to them that
she has no intention of staying with WUG long-term or even taking part in the contest they're all working their asses off to compete in
That's cute, you actually think Hyouka (sadly) would sell more than jack and squat over here.

Ranma 1/2 ep 39 - 40
The Romeo and Juliet episode was funny with everyone, though I hope the anime isnt truly going to go an Akane Ranma route, she seems to be having feelings while thankfully Ranma still expresses no interest at all. Would really ruin the anime and decrease how fun it is if it became some romance.
Hot springs episode was hilarious, especially Ranma side of it and the old man and constantly having to be on guard with him. Havent laughed this much in awhile in Ranma.

Heh. Paused a bit during the Alcyone fight and found this thread. Found it kinda funny, what with her belly-exposing one-piece and all.
Serious yuri undertones brewing between Hikaru and Umi. Mostly on Umi's side. Fuu's kinda the lame one out of the three; she kinda reminds me of Reikabot at times, saying things like "Perhaps we have fallen into a trap" after they get caught in a net. Also weird quotes like "Now I know how my laundry feels", though I guess those are kinda funny in their own way how out of place they seem.

Hey, all I know is that if they eventually release a JP BD-box that has official English subs (which I'm pretty sure exist, considering it aired on Animax Asia last autumn), I'm importing it immediately.
By the way, do you people think I'm as bad as a cockroach?

I'm surprised you liked the hotspring episode considering 50% of it was just boobs

Just watched No Mercy (korean movie) and I need something extra extra happy animu now. Suggestions?
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren - 08
So this probably has to be my favorite episode out of the entire series thus far. It's like they had a checklist of the things I've been yearning for and decided to throw me a bone for waiting so long:
Pure love? Check.
Check.An outsider coming in between the OTP?
NibutaniCheck.becoming jealous that someone else has Deko's attention?
DekoCheck.getting sad that Nibutani isn't fighting for her love?
Bringing upthat happened in the OVA? Check.the kiss
NibutaniCheck.returning to her Mori Summer roots to save the love of her life?
Cementing DekoxNibu as the real OTP of Chuu2? Check.
KyoAni should seriously consider adapting a work focused on yuri. My god would it sell like hotcakes.
Day 1.
youre not ready.
youre just not.
Id be the only one who actually buys it.

C-c-cockroach?!
I second this. Especially the little x365 I've seen and the S1 specials.
The hell. Of course we don't think that.
obviously it's me that people think is as bad as a cockroach since they wipe my posts from existence, call me disgusting and then ignore me when I complain, god knows I'm not bitter or anything
Seconded. Acchi Kocchi would also suffice.

Corvo watch Kino episode 8. It will definitely make you feel better.
I'm serious. That episode is Cajun's favourite for a reason.
Its an optimistic and squee episode.

But ranma in towel for the majority of the episode made it a blast.
That's true as well, the other 50% was topless male ranma haha

After War Gundam X - 7
Wow, Garrod suddenly became an asshole. Well, he was kind of an asshole before, but somehow he's getting worse.
I know he wasn't exactly raised in the brightest part of the world, (the little there probably are in this show), but for the love of crap, this dude doesn't even APOLOGIZE for his own screw-up! And to top it all off he runs away stealing the GX and decides to sell it! Dick move man. Dick move.
Meanwhile the other story in this episode was way more interesting. With that guy's Gold stash being discovered putting his entire family in jeopardy.
Honestly, I didn't expect the guy to have so much trouble dealing with just three of those goons before it escalated into a full-on ambush Captain America movie style though. I mean, they looked like your typical everyday grunt robots. I feel like this entire problem should have been resolved in two-minutes.

So I'm trying to think of what dog breeds they show the most in anime.
And I'm starting to think that Shiba Inu and Pug are the two winners.

We've been asking that question for several weeks now and they haven't disappointed us yet, so we'll see.

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia 3
Ah, things are starting to get a bit creepy. A real treat of an episode with some interesting visuals.
Well there goes the neighborhood.

Anime doesn't care that it's February. If they want you to feel like you should be decking the halls and caroling in search of wassail (for which, if it is not provided, you shall obtain their debit card and PIN number), they will make you feel that way. That special ending theme was really sweet, and as both of these are super romantic events, Haruka and Yuu are even cuter together. The wedding half was amazing, the way one phone call set everything in motion, and the ending of the Christmas episode was visually beautiful. Fantastic.

Oh god. That's even more moe-ified that the dog in Eden of the East.
Also GOD DAMMIT [heavy breathing] misinterpretation is backfiring.

I'm just glad he watched whatever horrors were in that episode BEFORE watching Kino episode 8.
Now he'll be able to lift his spirits after they have been darkened as opposed to the other way around.
And then his mind will explode when he watches episode 9.

What anime is that picture from?
You should ask Corvo about centaurs.

It's 100% Shiba Inus. Pugs have become more prominent in recent years oddly enough. It's rare to see nearly any other breed in anime. You'd think corgis would get some time in the spotlight thanks to Cowboy Bebop, but nope.
There's a bigger variety in manga.

Good choice.
At least try a Kickstarter or something.
They won't even put it on a streaming service for some incomprehensible reason.

Silver Spoon Episode 6
After a week or 2 break I am quickly reminded of the sheer quality that bleeds from this show, and how great its written.

Ah ha ha, Link Man you're such a kidder. I have no idea what you mean. Nobody has any idea what you mean. You're so silly with your meaningless jokes and all.
NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN.
Ah ha ha. What a card.

Those would be good ideas. KyoAni doesn't do those.

I genuinely extremely like the 6th episode of silver spoon, idk what it is, maybe the right time or place, but that was a specific episode I needed to see to feel satisfied for the day.
The way the song builds up energy, releases, and then charges forward still without actually falling off is great. It's very much an unapologetic, full-throated theme.
I tend to like it when shows know when to toot their own horn that way. This one had to grow on me a bit at first though. Meanwhile, the video synced start beat of Naisho's OP sold me the first time.

Oddly enough, this episode wasn't as strange as the past ones.
Maybe I'm used to it by now.

Those two look a lot like Ryuko and Mako.
Kino only interferes if it's within her power to do so and if it doesn't hinder who she is as a traveller. Otherwise, she generally won't get involved.
Next episode is Cajun's favourite, and the episode after that is my favourite.

What a strong first episode. It's like the A-team meets X-Men. The X-team.
