She does give off that Smithers to Shigyou's Mr. Burns vibe.
if he meant shirobako he would write shirobako
Lol, sorry, I don't know neither, fix incoming.
(Wow, how popular
Sorry guys, don't know what I was thinking)I liked No-Rin. I'd buy it if I had some spare cash. All for Minori and Yoshida.

Nozaki trolling levels = MAXIMUM
Its like he was accumulating all those experience points from the previous episodes just for this one.
Fun show overall.
Loved all the humor and the characters.
Can't even recall a single moment where I was bored or hated any particular thing about it.
Will put the manga in my backlog right under that one as something I really need to read.
Nozaki-kun best boy ranking:
Mikorin >>>>>>>>>>>>> Everyone else
Nozaki-kun best girl ranking:
Mikorin >>>>>>>>>>>>> Everyone else
I better not hear anyone trying to argue against that.
If someone here has been waiting on updates from that project mentioned some days ago consisting of saving and sharing with the whole world many key Japanese antique animated shorts, a project that commenced on /a/ of all places... well, here we have a little sample as proof, in advance of what is to come:
Kuri Youji - Hana / 花 / Flower (1967) - YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO7cf3jz7q8
Extracted from the 11th volume of the collection (the one dedicated to the more personal and experimental animation of that era), that along with the 4th one are the volumes already preserved completely by the people involved on this 'salvaging' process. More on the way, of course!

Wrong, best boy is Tomoda (and best girl is Seo!)
Really fun series, I had a great time with it and yes, the trolling is amazing, that last chapter got me well, I was sure that was "the moment".

But what of the fifth dimension?!?

Akagi
Mahjong is one of those things where I am interested in it, but can never find anyone to play with, and online all of the good sites are in languages I can't read or are blocked to USA IPs. So lets take something I enjoy and blend it with the intensity of the previous series I completed, Kaiji. What you get is something pretty good, especially for those who understand mahjong and/or enjoy psychological things.
This work definitely was by the same author and shares a lot of themes, including a narrator who like to make rather interesting metaphors and absurdly high stakes games.
The main difference between this and Kaiji are the protagonists and here, our protagonist takes center stage. Akagi is ice cold, ruthless, extremely calculating and worst of all, very lucky. Dude has to have some sort of disorder. He doesn't even flinch when playing chicken, Russian roulette or
. I don't think there is a thing out there that scares him. He also has probably one of my new favorite catch phrases. That damn chuckle. People who have seen this know what I am talking about.
That said, a majority of the time spent in this series is at the mahjong table, the final match takes up a majority of the series and it never seems to get boring for me, although I could see it becoming tedious for some.
I also like the OP. Very soothing and then the end where Akagi slams down a piece perks you up for the tense match ahead.
This is a show that I enjoyed but would not recommend to everyone. Especially those who are unfamiliar with the rules of Japanese Mahjong. But if you are looking a traditional gambling game taken to it's most extreme conclusion. Go ahead.

It's funny because I got into MJ via Saki, and I wonder how much crossover there is between the two audiences. Certainly each has its own brand of... specialness. lol
I got interested in Mahjong watching my Chinese friends in college playing it. I learned some of the variants over time.
But yeah, Saki is...special.
I saw some tentative April dates for some blurays too, one incuding D-Frag.
Too bad there's no tentaive No-rin date in that blog entry outside of soon. Just for DALII and Dragonar.

WTK tweeted these are the bonuses for the Pony Can sets. You get a bonus gift if you preorder both.
Thinking of grabbing Freezing:Vibration and One Piece Collection 12 from the April releases.

Is this out of character or in character? I'm not sure!
Remember kids, the internet is serious business.

Good storyboard from Sayo Yamamoto. I liked both the creative camera angles and perspectives:
and the use of pop art comic book style:
The latter featured the kind of creative and striking color usage I associate with the best Yamamoto. It was a colorful execution of a pretty solidly amusing script. I enjoyed the clash of big-egoed personalities between Johnny and Dandy. It explored rock music not with a real interest in rock music itself so much as an interest in the cults of personality that spring up around it.

Last I heard, the Washizu match was still happening in the manga.
You should probably move it to the FRONT of your line. It's awesome.

She arrived 10 days ahead of schedule (she shipped on Tuesday; two weeks early). Kosaki too cute.
I love the case insert because it's from the hot springs episode.
God Onodera is boring shit.😌 Only worthwhile girl is Marika.

Nah it has Hori.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha 9
Oh god, are we going to get a love triangle between third-graders?
Putting sugar in Japanese tea is serious business.
So Queen Beryl...er, Fate's mom was involved in a magical accident involving dimensional disruption.
Yep, nude artwork in a dimensional spaceship, in what would likely be classified a kid's show. Then again,
.
So much despair, no wonder Nanoha is so melancholy all the time.
Okay, so that second half was pretty good. Even if it is setting up a "power of friendship" ending.

Guessing she's posessed, then.

there would never be a 2BD set because of the length of the show, but an official set is available from Japan.
This is all that exists though. http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00CDO3IF0/

So FB is Mr. Braun? And he's not the mastermind? If he's not, then who is? Perhaps it's actually Okabe's future self. Or maybe it's someone connected to Kirisu.
Still there is that last message needed to be undone. How can Mayuri be saved without having to (re-)kill Kirisu in the process?

Incredible. Amazing. I am at a loss for words!

i like Saki, and I generally detest yuri. Made me want to learn mahjong as I felt I was missing some points to understand the show properly.
My only complaint is the plot is so bloody slow. Hurry up and get to the finals and playing against the sister.

Mayuri's deaths keep getting more depressing the more times I see them, Especially since she doesn't die right away like in the previous ones. I can't see this ending in such a way that it isn't bittersweet at best.
Still that Cliffhanger ending.
