So is Space Dandy the next KLK in being strangely divisive in the community? lol
You read that post wrong.

Space Dandy was from the getgo though. It took more time for KLK to be divisive

And suddenly we are really fighting titans.
Wouldn't be an episode without some new challenge putting a gloom over all the good momentum we been having.

Well this made no fucking sense. I think in general I'm losing patience for writing and dialogue that is meant to sound "deep" but doesn't really makes sense on any level nor does it remotely resemble how people actually speak. Like for crazy shonen I can be more forgiving but even then that ends to involve posing and loud shouting not terrible metaphors and shit. For shows that have grounded interactions, even if they have supernatural elements, your words have to make fucking sense.
As is the norm for a ufotable production though, this looked and sounded awesome

Probably the best episode of the show yet! AOTS and its not particularly close
Just watch the episode and you'll get the gif immediately

There are only 11 episodes of Usagi Drop?

Usagi Drop being short is one of its good points!
Well...in light of uhm...further developments in the story yeah it is >_
I've completely purged my mind of what happened next. Do you mind telling me?

So we get introduced to this whole magic academy and what I guess will be the background goal for this series.
I think more interesting is how Akari is slowly gaining the confidence in herself that she's lacking.

Welp... Time to go purge this from my mind again... I need some alcohol.

Sounds like an episode of Big Bang Theory or Community.
I mean if [MESSAGE REDACTED] had not [MESSAGE REDACTED] when they [MESSAGE REDACTED] Then we wouldn't have seen [MESSAGE REDACTED] in the [MESSAGE REDACTED] using the [MESSAGE REDACTED] after he ate the [MESSAGE REDACTED] and then slipped on the [MESSAGE REDACTED] and ended up covered in sriracha.

I am curious - how many people actually read the Usagi Drop manga after the time jump? lol

I liked the 1st couple chapters and then it all went to creepy territory.
I obviously did....No, I really did :/
It's more like Watanabe pissing all over

Perhaps. But the way people talk about the manga they make it seem like it's a
Woody Allen
I did too. I just wonder how much of the "hate" for the manga is basically more Zac from ANN irrationality where people are yelling at something based on what they heard on the Internet or read on Wikipedia. lol
I wonder if I should watch this episode just to see what it's actually about outside of just being a reference.

I did and the ending's the least of the manga's problems.
Timeskips inherently complicate character-based writing; it takes a uniquely skilled writer to pull one off in the middle of a story. There's a reason they're usually used at either the very beginning or very end.
And that's not even getting into the content of the timeskip itself.
And that's not even getting into the content of the timeskip itself.
Sometimes?
Rather than specifying the beginning or ending, I would say timeskips are usually used when a gap in the overarching plot is encountered, which often coincides with beginnings and endings, but is hardly limited to them.
I didn't. You could not pay me money to ruin my good memories with that filth.
Sure didn't help Rowling any.
That wasn't just the timeskip, though. The entire book sucked; the fanfiction-esque ending was just the cherry one top.
Honestly though, I felt Deathly Hallows was still better than Half Blood Prince, because at least things were happening. Good grief Half Blood Prince was such a disappointment. Almost as bad as the SUDDENLY SNAPE IS
A NICE GUY AND HARRY'S DAD IS A JERK AND THAT MAKES SNAPE BEATING UP HERMIONE OKAY.

Honestly
considering how much of a shit Harry was to his friends, it's not really surprising his dad was a shit.
Yes, but those are much harder to handle, if you're not switching to a bunch of new characters, like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for instance. You spend time getting to know a group of people, and then they suddenly become strangers to you again. It's very difficult to write a story that way, just look at how much effort George R.R. Martin went to to avoid having a timeskip in his books.
Also, when did your tag change?
Which is why 24 is a masterpiece.
The New Testament skips like, thousands upon thousands of years from the end of Acts to Revelations. Nobody knows what happens in between.
That shouldn't justify Snape in any way, though!
The Truman Show is the gold standard in storytelling!
Contextually, I thought it was obvious I was referring to timeskips of the excessively large, irregular variety, not literally saying that stories are usually told in real time.

I find that time skips in television tend to work as a way to at least blow things up and reset the status-quo. Before I hated BSG, "Fat Apollo" and the complacency of the humans after they decided to settle on some shithole planet was at least an interesting way to just move things forward.
Even the hard reboot of a show like Desperate Housewives by using a 5 year time skip was enough to get me to turn back in for a while when I had heard about it.
I thought it was obvious I wasn't being entirely serious.
