Yoru no Yatterman, so good that they turned Doronjo into a little kid and I didn't give a fuck. Too easy to say best episode of 2015, so I'll throw 2014 in as well, just pure piff

Wish I didn't look @ the supporting characters and their VAs on the wiki page tho...

Fate and Arf. I really hope these are codenames. That they're using in a private telepathic conversation. Crap.

Nope. Sorry. Those are their real names man.

But get ready though, because the action is going to get even better soon!

You know shit's getting real when
Faris rewrites an entire city so that Moe culture doesn't exist within it.
The shows' doing a good job at escalating the changes in the continuing use of the D-Mail.

I think the reasoning for those episodes is flimsy at best serving only to explore the different paths of the game, but they were still interesting ways to see the effects of dmails.

Seems like a lot of shows this season had good first episodes. Which ones, if any, are the most likely to shit the bed after such a great start?

I dunno but its pretty early to determine that.

Animegaf, does Crunchyroll suck? It seems completely random whether an episode is going to stream right or not. I've had streaming problems with them in the past, and haven't used them in about a year. I just renewed my account yesterday and my weekend starts tonight, I'm trying to watch Parasyte and it seems completely random whether and episode is going to stream smoothly or not. Sometimes changing the resolution helps, sometimes changing the browser helps, sometimes refreshing a bunch helps, but a lot of the time it will seem to be streaming smoothly for a couple minutes and then just suddenly stop for minutes to buffer, or it will buffer at a slower speed than the video plays (lots of starts and stops).

Is there any secret to using Crunchyroll I don't know about? I've got 20mbps down and can stream Netflix HD and Hulu fine, but I'd like to use Crunchyroll because I want to watch anime without commercials.

Also, how is Funimation's streaming? I tried to use it once, but I couldn't even get the video player to load after trying chrome/firefox/IE and refreshing a bunch of times. I know that they did a huge site revamp that they worked on for like 3 years though, so is their streaming any better? Is it worth a subscription if I have Hulu Plus and Crunchyroll?

Funis streaming is much worse than CR's. CR does have problems with freezing up but you can reset it pretty quickly. As for streaming overall, when it doesnt freeze for me it is quite smooth and doesnt stop to buffer. I have very fast internet though.

Fun and extremely cute show! Akagi is probably my favorite so far...she certainly has a rather unique method of attack.

Looking forward to more!

This show sorely needs Hamakaze in it.

I gotta say, there could have been a much better way in determining
Ruka's gender.
Seriously, Okabe went about it in the worst way possible.

In the meantime,
SERN seems to be aware of what Okabe is doing if that message is any indication. I get the feeling that the Wham episode will be coming rather soon.

Okarin was never one to be known for subtleties.

Gave a bit of a break on Wing because my friend showed me this picture, and I got hooked in the MC quotes, guy is a genius. Will watch the anime to see if it is good.

PS: The name of the anime I think is My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU.

Watched the Crunchyroll/broadcast version, I take it? They didn't do anything to fix the glaring animation errors in parts of the movie, but I'm told they redid a lot of the roughest scenes in the TV show for the BDs, taking it up to the Acceptable level!



Well, maybe you'll find out more about them in the new WUG movie, due out later this year. Yoppi has had a real radical haircut!
Click to expand...

Yeah I watched it on CR. Don't really have money to be spending on anime BD's at the moment. Animation was awful, but didn't really bother me too much. And yeah I saw the trailer for the second movie. I don't like her haircut.

I...what.
So some of them are bears now? They kill each other now?
What are the conditions? And why the fuck is there no way to detect a bear technology-wise? You reckon since they got that huge ass wall that they would be able to.
Oh, and still no male. I guess there must be some explanation or just pandering thoughts.

I can't remember much about the movie besides the ending bit where (movie spoilers)
the bad guy receives a phone call and stays talking through it all nonchalant
. It might be time for a rewatch though.

New OP is alright. I like the ED though.

Oh look the triplets are data guys AKA losers who will lose because data guys are lame. Remember that time like 20 minutes ago that Sekai and Wilfrid broke your stupid data because they are too good? Guess not.
Looks like LUCAS NEMESIS (real name) is that kid Aila told off in S1. Same hairstyle and he's from Europe. Guess he took her advice to heart. It's cool to see callbacks like that.

Decent bridging episode, pretty low budget though. It's acceptable on an episode with not much going on. Best part of the episode was Gyanko's bobbing head and her adding MUH SHIELD to everything. Starting to think it's possible this could be 2cour, but I'm not sure yet.

Spending the whole budget on idols and mascots doesn't sound like the best plan...

Good thing they didn't fail and also a good thing that Yukari was wearing a swimsuit as well. Lots of boob envy in this episode too.

I can't say I'm fond of the direction this show is going. The show needs to do something to make us care about the characters, but right now everything is getting overwhelmed by Ikuhara-isms and plot twists. His weirdness only works if it's applied to interesting characters that we're invested in, and right now Kureha is failing that test. And I think the pacing is just too frenetic- there's not enough time spent on establishing mood and atmosphere.

I watched Billiards for the first time pretty much right after finishing Parade and i think I overall preferred the episode to the OVA. Found the couple to be more interesting and liked the extra rule in darts.

After some thought, I think I liked the inherent cruelty in judging two unconnected souls against one another in the OVA. First ep felt like marriage counseling to me.
