Hataraki Man 5
Didn't find the interest to watch this series again for a while, but on again now.
This episode was essentially "The little Mayu that couldn't". It was alright and kind of cute.
Hataraki Man 6
Oh look. The episode starts with a misogynist that's even more of a cartoon and simplified than even Fumiya. Eh. It's an ineffective showing on all marks.
Now what's actually worth discussing in this episode is the angle is a female who doesn't mind using her wiles to get forward in the job (the role played through Yumi). Not unlike past episodes, it's a situation I'm not unfamiliar with in anime, but works differently with the setting of a simple news office.
The ideal works different seeing it explained in an office building (especially in contrast to the protagonist, Hiroko) than it does from a female assassin, undercover cop. It's familiar, but different and I like that. In terms of morality, it's a non-issue. I don't care what this girl does with her life. However, the perspective being picked up at all was positively notable! There's also Hiroko trying to deal with such a character as their clashing views affect the fluency of her work. It's a battle of "Standing firm" or adapting to agreeable stereotypes in order to get the upper-hand on the workload and competition.
This was yet another solid episode overall.

I don't know. There's hardly any fanart for Candy Boy out there, and hardly any of the little there is is explicit.
I mean, not that I've looked or anything.

No, you're right ( i've looked ).
The amount of stuff on candy boy is very tiny.
Considering the Theme and the release format of this anime , that is a testament that there wasn't much for doujins when everything's this explicit.

GAINAX, you magnificent trolls. That was almost Ikuhara-levels of recap awesomeness (even though it wasn't really a recap).
Island arc verdict: Not as bad as people make it out to be.
Its most egregious sin is cutting the tempo after the amazing run of episodes right before it, but it's not unwatchable by any means. While I can understand the frustration this run might have risen during its original broadcast, on its own it never goes beyond a very inconsistent roller-coaster of quality. Some episodes are godawful, but others are fine time-wasters. I'd even label some stuff like King vs King as total fun romp despite its complete irrelevance to the plot.
Should you skip it? Probably. I have to admit maybe watching so many magical girl series and who knows how many shounen has conditioned me for this type of abrupt interlude, but it's not the worst thing I've ever seen. That said, there was enough character development, particularly in the realm of Jean and Nadia, that I don't think the entire arc is completely useless. Call it looking at the glass half-full, if you want.

Everything is just perfect. The characters interactions are great, the whole cast is great. It's light-hearted, yet dealing with genuine problems. It's hilarious, Eita is such a good actor, gosh, I fucking love his character.
He's kind of socially awkward, it feels like he doesn't belong to the same world as the other characters...
The third episode might be my favorite so far. A dude compared his life to Tetris, they talked about the band Judy and Mary, there were scenes about Facebook which were hilarious. Hamasaki doing a thumbs up while hitting the "like" button... *dead* I literally laughed out loud. It was brief but that's moments like this that make this drama so fun. And the Uehara couple is hawt.
The credits are as good as the show : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbDA-x9Urx8
Dunno what to say except it's the best drama of the season imo. It's fantastic.

I was under the impression that they use the OVA to show things they can't on Tv ..so yeah almost borderline to make the maximum money.
At least this is better now that they are following everything full stop in "that" direction rather than the boring Tv show .
( yes the tv show was boring .. heck even the MC father is telling him to do it , so just do it ! )

jman lives through you. Mad respect.WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?
I WAS FINALLY STARTING TO RECOVER.

bad gameplay lol
I'm sad that jman left just before I watched Toradora. I didn't know him, but I feel like we could have been bros.
EDIT: Also I Googled netorare. I think I'll take a raincheck on that, thank you.

Reading the LN ending helped me a lot. Still got the feels going myself, though, for sure.

I welcome jman 2.0.
I figured as such. Seen it mentioned several times before.
So basically toradora turns people into a bunch of blubbering fools. I would say that is accurate.

Being banned led to a revelation I guess.
Colegio Remington n'est-ce pas? That reminds me, you should totally call me senpai.

It feels weird being called a 2.0 of a guy I never actually knew. :lol

Only Marie has a future as an idol.
EDIT: Jean should have gone all the way and sung this to Nadia.
Didn't you go to Remington like ten years before me? Senpai my arse, you are just an obachaa.
Yeah I read that one, which is why I assumed thats what it meant.
Toradora got me in the heart too. Its really fucking good.

You know I hurt you cause I love you, husbando.
More like laughing. The entire scene is crafted in a really hilarious way, especially in hindsight. The only touching bit about the end of FFVII's first disc is the music.
No, I forget what he got le ban'd for
So you may have seen the news this morning that the pope is resigning at the end of the month. Who would be the most suitable anime replacement?
This isn't nearly as fun as Jexhius' question because you just ended the debate.

Next pope should be Reinhard von Lohengramm. Next: GALACTIC EMPIRE
I really shouldn't post my personal info on twitter.
I don't really care to be honest.

A search for "anime pope" reveals this curious possibility.
Although the only other pope I could think of was immensely irritating, so I'd rather not select him.
Sounds like a trade down.
Besides doesn't Seraphis like K-On? That's like the antithesis to everything jman ever stood for right there.
I'm not watching your twitter.
