It was YOUR WEAKNESS that robbed us of OT4. NEVER FORGET THAT!

Hey you missed a spoiler tag on the ep14 post! Brb, reading impressions.
For whatever reason I thought it was even funnier when I saw this. So much effort for so little.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Oh, heh, I know. I miss the food. I'd fucking kill a man for a meat pie.
Also, to keep this post tangentially related to anime, I once found a Bubblegum Crisis t-shirt at a Goodwill in Louisiana. Kinda unexpected. :lol

I really shouldn't watch this show in the middle of the day when I still have class.
One of the things that has kind of held me back from enjoying this show maybe as much as I could is the fact that I don't get this notion that "contractors aren't humans". I suppose that it's because I've watched Hei and others prove this notion untrue on several occasions, but I struggle with how this notion even came to be. I mean, I see where it came from; they are more or less killing machines. It's hard to explain.
I think the scene between Hei and Alma has done quite a bit to alleviate that dissonance by basically making me disregard the notion entirely. What was interesting about Alma is that she more or less grew and came in touch with her human emotions all by herself. Her bit about the similarities between humans and contractors was also important in extinguishing the notion.
The scenes between Huang and Chihoko also did this to an extent. Chihoko as remnants of her emotions left, and treasures them so much that
This is one of my favorite episodes yet, I think.

she kills herself while at her happiest just so she could die happy. And so she could protect Huang, basically sacrificing herself for him, another thing contractors shouldn't do.

Nichibros is the only anime to have ever accurately depicted the utter fucking horror of Japanese giant hornets. Like, I have a pretty severe bee phobia as it is, but if I ever saw one of those things flying around I'd probably just faint where I stand.
As to the ant thing, you're asking this of a medium that's not particularly known for its attention to small details!

Code:
public class DEMOCRACY {
public static void main(String args []) {
order orz = new order("duckroll");
while (orz.ruller == "duckroll") {
System.out.println("HAHA democracy");
OT --;
System.out.println("Winter of Anime 2013 |OT" + OT + "| You Can (not) Rebel");
}
}

Maybe it would if you watched episode 12 of Abnormal right now.

Oh, good thing it wasn't a very important one I guess.
I suppose thats true. and now that you mention it yes nichibros explored that horror to great effect. I cannot think of another example though.

How do you know what they like and don't like?
a hunch.
edit: there was a Touwa Meme image here as a joke but then I realized that "ant" and "aunt" probably aren't homophones for some of you so that would have just ended up :kayos
Jeez. That's some dedication.

It's the thought that counts. A good choice in Meme, as well.

Hey guys, just ate some red ants!

You can STILL post her now that we know the joke
I doubt many would mind.
After our Hell of Infinite Hyouka I can't bear to provoke any sort of SHAFT discussion until the next episode of Sassafras@Gobbledygook inevitably does.
but Shaft discussion is fun. Shaft often takes big risks with their stuff and it makes for very interesting subject matter, if not to everyone's tastes.
Bakumatsu whatever roman discussion soon!
This is the dark face of true democracy. You wanted to see it, so I'm showing it to you.
NO! I refuse to admit it! I like you duckroll. I promise I didn't vote for the last one.
I'd link the idol fighter suchi pai bunny girl if I were home.

A Kenichi Sonoda bunnygirl! HOLYFUCKYES.

I didn't vote for the last option.

Next OT banner, please.
Is it bad that I don't give a shit about Cassim? Really wish he would just die already.
He could've been simply appeased Cutler if the Packers didn't fuck up. They passed up the chance to watch him squirm in the playoffs and it would've been quality entertainment.
At least we didn't die discussing SAO.
Oh? I thought we were all already dead.
Only articalys did. RIP
And now M_Night is gone too, apparently.
Rofl. Did he? I thought I did. Remember the ban?
Where justice is found.
Thank goodness.
Dammit! Not only do I miss (multiple times, including re-ignitions) the heat of the discussion... but also see that it commenced because of some magazine illustration for the Regardless of My Adolescent Delusions of Grandeur, I Want a Date! series. While you were at it, you could have used as a topic starter the good taste of Animedia Magazine readers...
well, this was among other of their many "usual" choices for character of the year...
So... Shiki CAN'T kill Servants after all!
I would hope not. If you voted for the last one instead of the choice you're actually championing for, then you're even stupider than I thought! Lol.
Ouch....
I wanted to clear up this grave and odious offense from Tamako Market last night before I forget. During this episode Tamako visited another shop for a cup of coffee. Whereabouts the shop keeper served her and uttered these offensive, and nonsensical remarks:
After this, he offers Tamako some milk, training her with his poisonous thoughts and bad habits! If fresh and made properly coffee is never bitter! In fact, with the right beans and preparation methods, coffee can actually be sweet all on its own! So don't just make blanket statements like that! Of course, none of this makes any sense:
Dude you have a wood box hand mill and a Yama glass siphon!! Those make excellent coffee, so what is your excuse?! Oh I see, you're a record shop? A record shop with premium brewing equipment lounging about like decorations. Did you use a Mr. Coffee machine behind the counter, or did you just steep coffee in a teabag? I feel like calling KyoAni and complaining!
