Yeah, I can't believe they think this is a good idea.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 14
Exactly. I liked episode 13's outfits better. Otherwise, deja vu, I wish they had given a hint, Ive been thinking all day about what in the world it could be, though to be rewarded with this episode was like a being bitten to death.It seemed the only change, I noticed was their outfits and the opening scene with Kyon at home seemed different a bitHopefully Kyon thinks of something next episode to escape this loop and not be too comfortable with it
That's a funny description.
Stop oppressing people with your racist terms like "weeaboo."

I never called anyone a weeaboo.
You were thinking it, racist. Otherwise you'd approve of their attempts to purify the MAL website of filthy gaijin language.
I'm disappointed you cannot appreciate the wonders of Japan.

All of the Ghibli titles got weebslapped. Now we have Mimi wo Sumaseba, Mononoke Hime, Kurenai no Buta, etc.
Names of animated features used for the オスカー are inferior anyway. Even gaijin titles are imparted with superior nihongo names that impart layers of depth and subtle multifaceted meaning that could never be achieved in their native barbarian tongues:

Mobile Suit Gundam 18
This was just an all around really good episode. Lots of Frau Bow x Amuro, with Frau of course getting to verbally dress down Amuro. Kinky Haman flirting with Amuro in front of her husband I guess (Assuming that it's like Waltfeld and Aisha in Gundam SEED). Plenty of good mecha action culminating in a sword fight between the Gouf and the Gundam. And my personal favorite: Amuro gets tossed in the brig and breaks into tears after Ryu, who is all around the nicest guy and truest not-Frau-Bow friend Amuro has on the ship, tells Amuro point-blank to his face that they needed GUNDAM, not Amuro.
Ryu really is becoming my favorite guy in the show, although Bright Noah deserves constant respect for slappin' fools when they need it.

No, this is.
This is beautiful. I kinda want to sign up for MAL now just to see this travesty with my own eyes.
How in God's name is ONE WORD hard to translate? It's not like "Up" is an abstract concept. Surely there's a Japanese word for the direction up?

Sorry forgot my sarc mark again.
It sounded like you were calling me out on my comments.
I'M AN ALLY OF ANIME AND MOE.
If that kind of logic applied to other titles we'd get shit like Hellsing becoming Hellsing: The Bird of the Hermes Is My Name, Eating My Wings to Make Me Tame. Let's not give MAL any ideas.
If MAL ever starts using macrons on top of the glorious nippon titles, I quit 4eva.
So, I've been sicker than heck this past few weeks. To combat the boredom of being constantly lying down on the couch, I've marathoned a crap ton of GinTama. Got reminded of why I love that show to death. So much good stuff. Thought I'd through up my thoughts on the major arcs I've plowed through.
Yagyuu Clan Arc
I left off right before this when I took a break from GinTama a month or so back. I must say, this arc was hugely disappointing. Nothing about it worked for me. I didn't like/buy the drama. None of the major jokes hit. It just didn't feel like good old Gintama. The new character introduced, Kyuubei, was really wasted in this arc. I just felt no interest in them at all. The twist involving that character is so predictable as well. The major recurring joke of Kondo
made me laugh like once. The sad thing is, it keeps going and going. Luckily, they do way more with Kyuubei in later episodes that made that character much more endearing. Overall, probably the worst set of Gintama episodes in a while, if not the whole series.
Hard Boiled Detective Arc
One of a couple two parters I want to call out. Absolutely hysterical. I just loved every moment of these episodes. It was comedic, but had some good heart in it as well. The fact the first of the episodes begins with about 10 minutes of narrated stills had me in laughing fits. One of my favorite small arcs the series has done. Just top notch all around.
Bentendo Owee Arc
While Hard Boiled Detective may be one of my favorite small Gintama Arcs, Bentendo Owee is probably my favorite. As someone who's done the dumb thing of standing in line for a new console, it really hit home with me. All the little references made were amazing as well. Sure, it was far from good drama, but it was so damn funny. The writers really outdid themselves with this arc.
Shinsengumi Crisis Arc
The first big real dramatic arc after the Yagyuu arc. I just finished this one. It was neat. The drama didn't hit 100% of the time, but it hit hard when it did hit. The stuff with Kondo and Hijikata was especially good. I didn't love the main villain here, but he got a nice bit of development throughout the course. I think it could of used a bit more comedy to break up the bleak, bleak drama, but it worked. Really nice arc. The only thing I found a bit odd was the amount of hyper-viloence here. Gintama isn't normally all that violent of a show. Even when it is, it doesn't go all that far with it. Here, the violence is super extreme. Blood geysers everywhere. Didn't bother me too much, but felt a bit over the top. Just a bit weird to me is all.

Because its meaningless to them? Going up does not in anyway imply flying in Japanese which Pixar was obviously going for in its title.
But it's just the word "Up." Like climbing UP a tree. How hard could it be?
Eureka Seven 18
This was an oddly melancholy episode. Like, the air of depression was strong in it, what with literally the whole episode being gray. And for once Talho did something interesting and cool.
Oh, and a bullet should be placed in all of Eureka's children's skulls, but three should go into Mater's. I mean seriously.
