Having just finished the VN for the first time, that stuff is like 100x worse in the game.

I finished the VN about a month ago and while I loved most of it the Luka stuff was pretty rough at points. After finishing it I have a slightly more positive look on how her character was handled but idk the whole reason Luka wants to be a girl is a little disconcerting tbh. It's tough; especially for Japanese works that tend to handle things like this for comedy, which Luka definitely was at points.
Yeah, it's pretty bad there as well. Some questionable translation choices there too. I can only hope that the industry will adapt some more LGBT positive material in the future, because we really don't need the same old tired and hurtful portrayals again and again.

But Raphi is the worst part of Gabriel Dropout.

why is goody 2 shoes in the show, cut the useless weight
and its not even that I hate the straight man, I still like glasses from gintama
Owarimonogatari 7-12
I wouldn't say the second half lived up to the first for me but that was to be expected when Ougi and Hanekawa were replaced by Shinobu and Kanbaru.
Overall:
1. Seeing Shinobu and Araragi develop in their weird relationship was the standout, with the development of Shinobu confronting her past and Araragi coming into his own person adding to their growth together.
2. That was peak Kanbaru, weirdly enough considering she had her own arc and yet she was at her most entertaining and interesting here.
3. It was a little scene but the phone conversation between Araragi and Senjougahara was lovely.
4. Then of course Ougi's parting words left a lot open for whenever the rest of the book gets adapted.
Edit: The Kanbaru/Shinobu scene at the shrine was great too, for me the first Hanekawa/Ougi scene is still the standout of the series for me but that scene between two characters I haven't rated very highly in the past still affected me more than I expected.

Death of author!
A short anime where high school girls slightly more complex than their images suggest have frank discussions about adolescent girl problems. Actually treats its characters with a decent amount of respect.
Literally the fastest 8 minute short you'll ever watch as Galko and her friends talk about the various questions of their lifestyles.
agreed.
boring as fuck MC too
girls with varied body types talk about stuff, act slightly realer than normal, oddly enjoyable

The wrong gal manga get an anime adaptation. I'd rather have gal cooking manga or Hoshino me o tsubute anime adaptation
Hey, get this...
Amazon canada finally updated Scum's wish episode 5 with more subtitles. French, Italian, Spanish, etc.
just 1 rather striking omission, though... English.
Come on, amazon canada wtf is this?!
Its fairly simplistic and kinda dumb, but i've read worse. I wouldn't give it the moniker of "fucking terrible".

Yeah, I just got that e-mail as well. Sure was nice to be able to import my WUG and PriPara CDs...
This is the most accurate GAF post this year.

Why would you do this? Why should Avex object to people outside Japan buying their Japanese releases?
Showa Rakugo Ep 8
I'm surprised by how cold Bon is to Miyokichi. What gives? Was he just tolerating her company all this time?
Kuroko is like Dragon Ball, Haikyuu is more grounded and Yowamushi is somewhere in between.
HE'S IN THE ZOOONNENNNENENENENENENENENN! WHAIOAHOAHOAOHAOHAOAOAHOAHOOAHA. WHat a play!!!!
It's really enjoyable in it's own right but it's definitely Dragon no Baske Z.
I'd imagine coming straight from Haikyuu must be really jarring.

As long as they keep adding music to amzn and itunes worldwide...
One of the most amazing things about In This Corner of the World (also having earned already over 2 billion JPY at the domestic box office) is the renewed interest for anything related to director Sunao Katabuchi, with his film Mai Mai Miracle and its number of DVD rents at TSUTAYA stores increasing nine-fold in such a short span after his latest film premiered:
映画賞総なめ！『この世界の片隅に』の勢いが止まらない！片渕須直監督作品『マイマイ新子と千年の魔法』DVDレンタル回数が半年で約9倍に急増！｜TSUTAYAのプレスリリース
https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000215.000018760.html
Maybe, after all the penurious ways of attaining measly budgets for his projects (that he described on his personal WEB ANIMESTYLE column; http://animestyle.jp/column/1300/), now the time has come for Mr. Katabuchi to be a household name!

I was never aware this meme/image was from this show in fact I thought it was a photoshop. As for the show itself, holy shit how have I missed this? I am absolutely in love with the show and the type of humor it uses. The forth wall breaking and the narrator are a joy so far. Nagi didn't turn out to be the unlikable tsundere I assumed she was going to be and that is a huge plus.

are you watching the censored or uncensored version?
censored version - bleeps out the parodies.
uncensored version - says what all the parodies are to.
I can't recall if the uncensored verison was strictly done in fansubs or if it was a bonus on the dvd release in japan.
I personally find it fun to try to guess the parodies but it was also nice to be able to be told what they were when I couldn't figure it out.
The Eccentric Family 3-8
I have to say, for such a goofy premise, the tanuki father's story got pretty heavy. I think this is exactly the reason I enjoy this show though. It blends fantasies, over the top family feuds and funny quirks with good character who actually have much more depth than I thought. Episode 8 was just beautiful.

Well, that's bizarre. Why don't they want foreigners buying thier stuff? Seems like perfectly good money they're letting go of.
I'm glad that I'm not the only Pripara fan here! Nobody else in my circle of friends watches it. It's such a fun, silly show though.

There must be something broken in me that I found The Eccentric Family okay but nothing great when it's specifically the epitome of what I talk about with regards to subtle and subdued SoL that has strong character interaction, characterization/building and heavier themes and ideas below the surface. I dunno if you can even categorize it as SoL, I'd probably say it's more akin to a straight drama that is played very softly.
Maybe I watched it at a bad time or was distracted by something. I should watch it again when I'm better settled to see if it grips me any better.

Hajimete no Gal TV visual.
@haji_GAL went up almost an hour ago. I'm digging this Mika Galko fusion, haha
NICE.
OPM is strong as an exotic display of power and ocassional humor, beyond that it won't engage you much.
Murata's illustrations do a fantastic job in relaying the strengths of OPM.

I haven't seen the last 5-7 episodes or so. Time to catch up. Should be roughly 2 ½ seconds worth of content!
3:30 I think

:nintendoman too stronk.
It's a shame those that those who don't subscribe to operation "let's talk it out with aliens that butchered billions of us and still continue to do that , through the agency of <10 year old kids to boot" are shown only in this baleful, ill-intentioned light. I'd root for them in earnest if that wasn't so !

I almost joked to myself that she will move to a new place - wow. I guess she was on rent and has money to spare.
I honestly was looking forward to Saikawa and Kanna. I bursted out laughing when I saw Kanna crying when Saikawa challenges her.
