Nobunaga the Fool 02

I'm entertained by the show, but really Da Vinci just steals the show for me whenever he's on screen.

Gintama 13-14


Episode 13 was odd in that it
kind of started as usual, with an odd request and jokes all around, and then all of a sudden OHAI SKELETONS. This show is very good at surprise feels.

14 was great for more focus on the Shinsengumi, who I actually really like.
Next episode is Elizabeth. I... don't know what to expect.
 
Dog & Scissors 9-10

Episode 10 was legitimately my very part of the show, if only for the
EPIC AUTHOR BATTLE OF HISTORY
. It was so over the top and ridiculous that I loved it. So much.

Real appeal of this show is how over the top it is ..
So many stupid stuff going on and no explanations what so ever.

I mean yes, that's the appeal, but the show's been kind of... forgettable up to this point. Like, I enjoyed it fine, but past episode 5, the show hasn't been all too great for me. But ep 10 was AMAZING.

A NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHES.

Gotta say the amazingly cool teacher was pretty enjoyable and well worth not seeing better version of Space Dandy the game.

That was pretty decent take on the whole chuunibyou issue, dark at times and an actual romantic subplot that goes somewhere. I think the ending
was a copout with the whole Ichirou changing back just to save Ryouko, but it still managed to convey the overall themes and emotions pretty effectively so it didn't bother me as much.
I do wish a more competent studio animated this cause some of the scenes are ugly as fuck especially the colouring for the outdoors parts of the movie. Either way still recommend this movie, just for the fact that it's what Chuu2 should have been about if it didn't turn out to be a stupid mess.

Aura: Maryūinkōga Saigo no Tatakai


From the studio that brought you Humanity Has Declined comes yet another adaptation of another work from the same author, Romeo Tanaka. It covers a pretty similar ground to Chuu2 but with a far more morbid and realist take on the matter, dealing with issues ranging from petty bullying and social ostracism to blackmail, severe physical beatings,
broken homes, domestic violence and attempted suicide
. It really doesn't pull any punches and ultimately ends up sending a far stronger and worthwhile message than Chuu2 ever did. Even the "romance" angle is far better handled as
the two main characters kiss and show genuine affection for one another
by the end of the movie.

I still need to watch the Blue Exorcist movie and Shinkai's foot porn thing before times up but I doubt either will be able to take this movies position on my 2013 AOTY vote. Watch it.
What was the
domestic violence part? Ichirou is the broken home and Ryouka is the attempted suicide, but I can't seem to recall the other one.

Finally, the thieving adventures get what's coming to them.

This always bothered me in the Ys games.

Adol could tear apart people's houses and ransack their savings/foods and people still loved him.

Ichirou mentions that
both his parents physically beat him when they found out about his "hobby".

It also applies to that part where he sticks up for the Chuuni's in the classroom
and gets the living daylights beat outta him by the thug to the point where he blacks out.

That easnt too bad. This episode takes a step back because Koko is in the dark for most of it. Wanna see her radiance in the bright sunlight!
Kind of a touching episode but her dad is a bit nosy.
theze episodes contained little of
ghost banri
and was thusly pretty good watching.

I don't have a Twitter because I feel there is no point in having one when I have a Facebook.

Twitter is actually useful for finding people who share your interests. Facebook is only good for feeling like you want to shoot yourself in the face between the endless churn of dated macros and reddit memes, baby pictures, and raging political dumbfuckery.

Pretty good episode , almost on par with season 1

I usually don't have a problem even with the deepest jokes this show is throwing at me , but i didn't understand the "oman" in the fake commercial

If anyone got this one , an explanation would be appreciated.

Oh right, yeah that makes more sense. I was actually thinking
it was the eyepatch girl and she was hiding the marks on her eyes
, but I knew I was looking too deep into it.

The syllable immediately following "Oman" there is "ko". It's the same joke this week's Maken-Ki! is using, where the episode is titled Man*cos. Which supposedly stands for "Manga Cosplay", but both jokes are derived from the same thing.

That "manko" means pu**y.

Nah, I also thought the same thing with the eyepatch and it really wouldn't surprise me if that was the case too.

e: either way that entire scene was incredibly uncormfortable to watch

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I see what you're trying to say, but I think your example is bad. If you didn't like the first season of FMP, chances are you wouldn't like The Second Raid. I'll give you Fumoffu, but even still, it's got the same cast, and I don't care about the cast of A-Ko enough to watch anything else with them in it.
FMP, produced by Gonzo, is straight up mediocre and disposable in almost every respect. TSR, produced by Kyoani, is great. There's a wide gulf between the two, so I disagree with your "chances are".

Catching up with this show was both a blessing and curse. I mean, great epsiode all around, but dammit
we need to get out of second-time

I don't agree with your straight up mediocre and the merrygoround continues. Especially since I think the content of the two is similar enough that the overwhelming number of people will go for that, first, rather than spend their time worrying over the production values.

The pacing has been killing me to no end. Like this wasn't an issue before. I feel like I'm watching DBZ or AoT again.

Also it doesn't help that yes I caught up with the show on the longest arc and that it's like 15-20 episodes away from finishing supposedly. And at the pace they're going (the 15 seconds for 20 minutes of AoT) I wouldn't doubt it'd take that long

Potpourri's naming sense doesn't fall well with me.
