Revolutionary Girl Utena 16
The contrast between the two halves of this episode is nothing sort of astounding.
Kunihiko Ikuhara, ladies and gentlemen.
The contrast between the two halves of this episode is nothing sort of astounding.
The first half of this episode was hilarious comic relief. Nanami throws a party cause she got a fancy piece of jewelry and she wants to show it off to everybody because she's pathetically vain. But then Juri shows up wearing something nicer. But then she receives a piece from a famous jewelry designer in England. It turns out to be...a cowbell. So she shows off the cowbell to everybody. But she doesn't have a fucking clue what a cowbell is for, and she thinks the (hilarious) awkward silence is simply the cowbell taking everybody's breath away. So she walks around the school's campus proudly wearing her cowbell, and everybody's like "Tha fuck?" Then Utena confronts her about it and her subordinate bodyguards/guys who have crushes on her try to stop her, but Nanami refuses to listen to her. The whole first half of this episode is simply hysterical.
After finishing directing the first half of this, Ikuhara then took a break and retired to his chemistry lab. Here, he miraculously discovered a breakthrough method for properly lacing marijuana with LSD while getting the full effects of both. Ikuhara took a huge puff of his creation...and then began work on the second half of this episode.
The second half starts with a trippy, weird, and disturbing as all hell dream where she's a cow in a barn, and her brother comes to feed her her hay. He then informs her it's her final meal, and then sends her off to the slaughterhouse. Then, he is seen eating a steak made from Nanami. Just...wow.
This dream sparks a dark spiral for Nanami in which she starts acting more and more like a cow. She starts mooing, running slowly, and dressing like a cow, but then it gets worse. She's then seen in a field grazing with cows. She then sees a red sweater Anthy made for Utena, and then...she morphs into an ACTUAL FUCKING COW! Only Ikuhara. Then Utena bullfights her and knocks the cowbell off of her, and she turns back to normal. Turns out the cowbell was for Anthy's cow, also named Nanami, for whom she also ordered a nose ring. Which Nanami receives, and proudly wears.

Wanted to say this for a while: Kozue is hot stuff.
She is lovely. Which makes me sad that there isn't more porn of her being properly abused and stuff. I think she would look really sexy crying. Well I guess I'll have to make my own then!
I wonder what percentage of artists have this as their true inspiration for learning to draw

[Drunken Rant]I'm sorry I dropped you. That brief moment of lovey dovey shit, was exactly that, a brief moment. Everything since that episode has been a non-stop thrill ride, and exactly what I wanted from this anime.
The only problem that I have with the show is that it's rather predictable. Who honestly didn't see Yakomaru as a scheming douchebag from the moment he was introduced and that every twist was about as unexpected as a happy ending in a Disney movie.
All in all, this is probably one of my favorite shows this winter, and I hope this ride never lets up. [/Drunken Rant]
Edit: Are Chihayafuru and Sasami-san worth watching if I'm already watch the likes of Senran Kagura and Vividred? I figure my standards are so low that taste is no longer relevant.

The light blue is not very discernible in regular GAF. So basically my night-time browsing is fucked up until that gets fixed.

Suspenseful still but felt a bit odd in moments whenever they levitated or flew off, why not be more er smooth or graceful in their movements? Also perhaps its time they redefine bakanezumi, that is not a bakanezumi.

Wish they didnt split up again, was really good when Satoru was there, so hopefully they meet up fast. Am glad that at least one of the original team that weve seen over the course of the anime, Saki, manage to accept the position, though poor Mama Asahina, wonder if she will get garbled and stuff and die facing the fiend.
Nighttime? Do you browse without any lights on? That's bad for you anyway. The site did you a favor.
I thought the pictures showing off the colored self posts were mislabeled or something. I use a really strong olive for that so maybe my perspective is just skewed.

Hell yes, I love my family values shows disguised as lolicon pandering shows.
I hate using the PC at night with the lights on. I realize it's bad for my eyesight but meh.

Chihayafuru is legitimately good, so I'm not sure why you're lumping it in with those other shows.

Although it made for a really great and intense scene, the Red Stone of Asjia sliding down that actually relatively flat slope at speeds faster than Joseph or Cars could run was a bit well on the edge of reality. Anyway, he's really not as good as ACDC sama was personality wise.
Hyped for Ceaser and hopefully a good old Joseph + Ceaser defeat of Cars, I hope. I dont think weve had them ever even teamup at all recently in a major fight, which must happen I pray.

Did like how they were on the same wavelength to stop from falling into the ravine really the highlight of the whole episode but then made their yelling and falling out scene all that more intense considering how strong their bond had become, really hope Ceaser holds no harsh feelings or whatever, reconciliation next episode hopefully.
I just want more Raika.

If you haven't already, read the manga PapaKiki - Chronicles of Street Observation Research. So much delicious Raika!
Yeah, read it already. It's because of that is why I want more Raika.
More Raika.
This shit gets announces but not Mayo chiki Season 2? Travesty i tell ya!
God, my friend seriously sat me down to watch two episodes of this show one afternoon.
I literally cannot remember anything about it.
Best show of the season by a mile imo. Those others named are barely watchable at best.

Scaring the girls, crazy haunted house antics.

So I stumbled across the TVTropes page for Ikuhara:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KunihikoIkuhara
and...did he actually say/write this?
I'm pretty sure he's just trolling, but still.

So want to see Kirito roasting piggy over a fire.
I laughed at this part.
At last, a much-deserved continuation to the creepiest heartwarming show of 2012.
Ah yes. That and the cucumbers... why.jpg
As much as I loved Mayo Chiki, it deteriorated rapidly in quality during the latter half of the show. Maybe they should just leave it be at one season. :/
Give it another try, you might like it. Family values and all.

Not sure how to feel about this episode. I think I liked it more than last week's, but it was far more inconsistent. The odd directing and bad editing reared it's ugly head again. You can really tell this is based on a book. Lots of things that would work better on the page than on the screen. It's quite obvious they're squeezing a ton a content into a small space. The story is going to fascinating places. Just really loving this week to week.
Biggest problem with episode 20? The CG rocks. Ick.

Gotta have something to take off for that future Meaningful Haircut when she finally realizes her feelings for her daduncle.
