It's tiring me in a way that not even SAO could accomplish.

holy shit, that ending.
holy shit, that ending.
What if we break the cycle? Would the world fall apart?
Only the dead can know peace from this evil.
I disagree. I actually found some of the SAO discussions enjoyable. The ALO discussions on the other hand were just... weird.

Toilet discussion was more entertaining than both.

Not really. Oreki didn't say no, but attempted to persuade Chitanda out of it. He's done tricks like that before. Same thing.
He wanted to do it on his own because it would have caused him more trouble if more people knew about it. He said that to Chitanda at the end.
Who knows what Satoshi would have done with the information and make Oreki into some newspaper headline. It was Satoshi who challenged his "teacher likes helicopter" idea anyway.
Uh he's always been like that depressed look. Not sure how you can tell his ep1 behaviour from his ep12 behaviour. He avoided work where possible and kept lazy. Same as always.
Rikka couldn't be true to herself
at the funeral
A person who doesn't cry when someone close to them pass on is not accepting one self.
If you'd like to point out the times when Oreki developed his character over the course of the 22 episodes, be my guest. I can name a few points, but a lot of it are completely minor that leading up to the end of the show, it amounted to nothing between the relationship of Chitanda and Oreki.
You can say I'm forcing my thoughts into the facts, but the same can be said for people doing the opposite. The real fact is that Chuunibyou makes its character development very obvious leading to it to be more popular where Hyouka is an over-melodramatic and hard to understand that it'll take several university lectures to figure out what's it all about.

Because when they got around episode 205 they finally went HD and 50 eps later they got really close to the manga . At this point the pacing fell appart and they did all they could to gain time ( including reducing the episodes lenght , making the opening 2m30 instead of 1m30) adding 1m30 of introduction on the OP world + 30 sec of recap from the previous episode ! .... Now they entered a state of "do what we can given the time we have " and they can only polish the scenes/animations for specific episodes and specials. I can only say good job , when you realise how close they were during enies lobby and thriller bark compared to the manga at the time. Yet they still managed to deliver on both finales perfectly .
The old pacing ( before ep 196 ) was perfect ... but that's just impossible to do , unless you go and do a 100 ep filler hell ( like naruto did ) and i don't want that for one piece.
Toilet metaphysics. A topic we can all agree on.
Everyone should just all get along and eat some mochi
Already ate some.
Just imagine all of the little orphan girls that hate pirates.

another proof that #animeGAF is living into animeland.. we even replicated our own endless eight !
Soon we'll forget and it'll restart at the next tamako market episode ! Trully a devious loop
It already happenned . Remember the Apis Arc ? Yes bad filler to gain more time aren't good for one piece.( especially featuring orphans girls )

Best thing ever.
I made the joke because there are so many One Piece filler arcs that involve that particular stock character. For those that are current with the anime, how did the Z's Ambition filler turn out? Was it at least better than the Little East Blue stuff for the last movie? (one would hope so considering that was the worst shit ever)

It always comes back to balls. Kon just mercilessly fucking with
after finding out his secret made this pretty fun.
I actually caught up with the show from episode five onward since yesterday, and damn did it ever hit its stride. Kon's video game-themed creation story in episode eight was pretty much the pinnacle, but it's been consistently funny in its own offbeat, crass, subversive way. Erec is a man of constant sorrow. He's the greatest.

It was pretty bad, but it did give us a giant that ate a devil fruit, so that's a plus.
oh, and before I waste any more of my precious backlog season catching up on fall shows, Robotics;Notes is the only thing that I'm still not sure whether or not I want to catch up on. Is Kaito still a douchebag? Has it descended into haremshit? Did shit ever get real in a good way? I'm trusting you guys.
will they just freaking make it to Elbaf already? I guess that's probably endgame stuff as it coincides with Usopp's dreams being realized, and, well, I'm scared as hell of the death flags that are probably going to get raised left and right at that point. Couldn't handle it yet.

Could God drop a log that not even he can flush?
Kaito is around 40% less of a douchebag. 50% on a good episode. It hasn't quite reached haremshit status yet. Shit is constantly teasing about getting real but it never does.
Honestly, I'd hold off for now.
Sounds like I should just do two-ish episodes a week and be caught up around time for it to end.
That's your takeaway? My recommendation would be to stay away, but I guess you can head deeper into it if you are feeling daring.

Crest of the Stars (Sekai no Monshou)
Episode 4
Haha, that's kind of weird. Aside from a few shots right at the very beginning of the episode that light flare effect is again more subdued to me. It's like it's off and on every second episode. It's still definitely there as different shots maybe have a light source in a corner or along the top edge of the shot but it just seemed a lot less intrusive this time again.
Personally I thought at least the character art was pretty good this episode. Everything really seemed on model and well done. The general environment shots were maybe more bland though as a large portion of the episode took place aboard the bridge or command room of the ship Gosroth.
The wording, or maybe how things were done, was maybe a little strange to me though. There was a scene in the last episode where the captain of the ship, Lexshue, mentioned to Jinto about the effects of entering their own closed space and that they couldn't actually determine their location and things were more of an approximation or educated guess. In this episode though the ships sensors pick up some other sub space pockets and at times they'll use more approximations such as "the size is about this" but other times it came across as more exact where they were listing off what angle from the ship they were positioned in and the distance and all that.
I was wondering if, even though they're in their own subspace, that since these other ships are now as well,instead of being in normal space,that allows them to ascertain certain things about them with more accuracy? or perhaps was this just a bit of an oversight by the author or simply that things really were supposed to be more approximations and just came across like they were speaking in more exact terms. In the long run I suppose it's not a big deal but just something that crossed my mind due to the focus on the previous scene and how this episodes general plot unfolded.
Other than that though I don't think I have anything else really of interest to mention as it was all straight forward. Things continue to move at a slower pace,which may change next episode though, but again, that doesn't really bother me personally. Brief snippets of information regarding world building that were further introduced this episode were interesting or there was some slight re-emphasis on other points, such as Lafiel mentioning Abh lifespans can be much longer than regular humans.
I suppose the last thing of interest was how calm most of the bridge crew seemed to be despite the potential seriousness of the unfolding situation. Up until the point the communication officer got a non-response confirming hostile intention anyway.
I wonder how the situation will unfold in the next episode.
Episode 4
That was a close one! Due to a sudden emergency onboard the ship the two main characters almost bump into each other as Jinto tries to leaves his quarters and Lafiel comes to summon him. They're only momentarily startled whereas if this were made today there might have been the whole "fan service type characters falling on top of each other with embarrassed expressions" scene. Thankfully Crest of the Stars is too classy for that.

Its still quite good and Kai is pretty awesome. Subaru too and a few of the developments have been really compelling. After blast of tempest my second most anticipated anime each week.
It sounded like a mixed response, which is usually good enough to keep me from dropping something completely.
Looking at my MAL I have more to catch up on from Fall than I realized (Hidamari, Sukitte, the final 1-2 episodes of a few things) so yeah, I guess this goes on the backburner/dropped if I don't hear good things in the next few weeks.

Less douchy.
No haremshit.
Teases the shit get real stuff every now and then. It's still switching between the whole SCIENCE stuff and the robot building like in every episode.
Look at that Reika image. Thick lines usually bode pretty well!

Face it Pierrot-sama, your end of the world arc sucks. You should have taken classes from Dune.
Nah man, you aint seen nothing yet, Kougyoku da goddess is the best in the next arc.
Magi gets more epic as it goes along, pretty much after the point the anime will end at is when it starts to really hit those notes.

Those tits are definitely Arsene Sama's... was that her disguised? Lol #anime.
I guess it wasn't the wisest strategy to give my enemies five perfect episodes in a row before the endgame even began.
Tamako Market 1 !
IT WAS AWESOME!! Okay... I'll admit that before I started this I had a double whiskey, and then a third, and by the OP I was on my fourth, so my feelings of pleasure and joy might haev amplified how I received it, but still! You guys are tirppinr, this was so good. For starters it was reaaaaally cute, but not ecchi, so it was extremely[ wife/girlfriend freiendly. You could think lewd thoughts about Tamako or Anko the entire time, and your wife won't be suspicious! The bird (Deru?) is really cute as well. The pacing was spot on, and as expected the character animation and cinematopgrahy was superb!! It made me really happy!! ALSO, the OP and ED were excellent, and I loved all the quick shots of the kitchen and what goes on into making the mochi! I got so hunrgy that I'm gonna go downtownt tomorrow to the Mochi shop in Little Toky and get some fresh strawberry mochi from Fugetsudo! yall dont een know!
d
9.9/10! I think
