Yuru Yuri 4
They pulled the EXACT same gag SEVEN times. I counted them. No variation on the execution whatsoever, it's always girl takes glasses off -> corny "yuri" scene with a lame background and no animation -> nosebleed.
SEVEN. TIMES.
When the gag was actually warranted (the end of the episode), it had zero impact because they insisted on driving it to the ground the rest of the episode.
Aside from that, pretty OK, some nice sakuga at the beach and I was fond of the wishes thingy. Some jokes had an unusually good timing too, like Akarin's introduction being cut off.
I'm more interested in the next episode which has a much more promising staff really, so far the only episode I'd say was above average is the first.
I get it, really!

If a show consisting of almost assuredly all lesbians pursuing each other is playing it safe, then I welcome our new world with open arms.

I really, really love the glasses-gag in Yuru Yuri. Chitose is one of my favorite characters.
Seeing how most other people (or maybe a vocal minority) find them annoying reminds me of the reference jokes in Family Guy, which is also something I can't get enough of.
Maybe I just really love cutaway jokes.

Might as well end on a high note.
Psycho-Pass 14
They changed the OP into this? Uh.... I don't like it. The other one was cooler and how they introduced the logo was cooler.
Overall this episode was pretty awesome. It focused on a case while trying to build up to something greater. I think the greatest strength, and weakness, that this show has is that it's explicit about almost everything. It doesn't really leave any plot points for the audience to infer but just says everything so they understand it. However, this isn't the case for everything as we can tell by Episode 1's foreshdowing. Still, it's very interesting to see. Also, that foreshadowing of Akane in this episode!!!
Honestly, thinking on it, it would've been amazing had the show moved along faster to this point because this episode is far more interesting.

Yeah, I stand corrected. I think it is nearly what you said, but as an only feminine indication of someone who makes/creates little lavish remarks or situations. I didn't heard of that etymology before for French. I was confused by the 'foll'/'el follet' meaning from Catalan.
Did you even watch the show? Nobody did shit.
It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down...

Cool, another show I need to watch in Spring. Now there's only one show left that I'm interested in for 2013 that is still without a date.
I'm not sure the word is used as a noun, but it does exist as an adjective. Not that you're likely to hear it, it's fairly old.
Also announced in the past 24 hours or so was Log Horizon, which is Sword Art Online all over again, animated by Satelight, to air in the autumn.
Sounds terrible, I'm in, etc.

i'm currently on gintama break ..i had to stop watching and i found inspiration to code a program that i was doing .. i'm hyped as f**k but i need to process all of this properly
French guy here.
"Follette" does exist in french but isn't used.
The correct way to see this stiuation is as a typo.
I mean yes , "follette" does exist in french . [random trivia time]( different from "folette" that means a boat ) [/random trivia time] but it's hardly used.
It's from a old speech of french that is hardly used nowadays.
I haven't seen ultena but the official french way that was advertised and that i have always seen in france is " la fillette revolutionnaire "
Thus "Follette" is a typo.
A SAO rip-off?
Better than Sword Art?
A SAO clone plus animated by Satelight? Recipe for disaster.

Sounds easy enough.
Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to explain this.
It just seems like such an odd mistake to make. They've been using the correct spelling for over 15 years - why start getting it wrong now?

Yuru Yuri 5
Now this is what I'm talking about. The first half was pretty in line with the previous 3 episodes, going back to the Chitose gag again and having a lot of shortcuts, though I liked Toyosaki's performance- I laughed when she went to the yuri doujins dressed as that... thing.
The second half was awesome, from the strangely sawwy imouto to invisible Akarin.
Also, it's funny that the best animated sequence of the episode, and by far, was the
part. That was up to episode 1's standards, and the whole chase felt like it came out of a Mizushima show. I wonder who animated it.
I wish this show would maintain the quality of the latter half of ep 5, but based on the track record of the previous episodes, I find it unlikely.
Lol

It certainly confused the hell out of me... but yeah you are right, it is like Mitsuho said (as I noted above).
Thanks for the further clarification!

Well, in all fairness, at least O and I are next to each other, so it really could be a legitimate typo, and not just screwing up a foreign word...

I did. It was great fun. And while mostly tease, Akarin would disagree that nothing happened.

SAO is already a rip-off of .Hack. So that would make this a rip-off of a rip-off.

i had a little doubt so i openned my dictionnary..
Unless you want to express that the revolutionnary is
-a girl
-crazy ( or seen as crazy by society) but not totally. it's crazy but not much.. the meaning is hard to translate properly in english lol
in the sentence then yes it applies properly.
Nobody used that ( not even in france ) so yes ..Typo it is.
if it's intentionnal , then it's a move that won't be understood by 99.9999% of the commoners .
Ps: it does exist as a noum. but it's one of the words that is on ther verge of disappearing from our dictionnaries. (so old )

Alright, I've finally read every post after I went to sleep. That shit was ugly. Let's not do this again. Catching up!
Duckroll is the sensei on DTL canon so it could get quite weird! Besides, then both Cajun and Jexhius would be NTR'd!
"They told me I could be on a KyoAni show. I was so happy! But now that I'm actually here there is only sadness and a feeling of inadequacy. I should never have agreed to come here."
There can be only one!
So you are one of the "Hyouka is an awesome show" folks? You can stay!
Shaft is ahead of them on that too.
Premise of being trapped in-game isn't new. Wish one of these would have a PVP focus to it for extra tension.
Ugh! Why not more Index instead!?
Ok, stop right there. The problem with that scene is that even though Chinatsu did dare to break the status quo and actually land a kiss on the show, it wasn't really the person she wanted to kiss and it was all a practice run for comedic effect. The effective lesbian content of the show remained unchanged. Really now, the show is so fucking cowardly it can't even let itself hold an emotional moment, for fuck's sake.
I'm not like SDBurton. I'm not content always donating shit to shows that won't produce it on their own.
I loved that episode.
Because the Index movie is coming out soon. Railgun II will establish some characters that will appear in Index III.
Once upon a time I would have said the same thing, then I actually watched s2.

They seem to be taking turns. Index -> Railgun -> Index 2 -> Railgun 2

Quit ruining my fun! (j/k)
I think the disconnect here is that your version of "playing it safe" is where status quo is maintained whereas my version is where the themes are monumentally standard (hero saves world/princess, evil conspiracies etc.). But even then I wasn't being terribly serious, I was just having a bit of fun. :-/
Yeah, it's awful, just like the rest of the show.

S2 would be better if they didn't focus on shit that nobody cared about. Also needed more Accelerator. The whole section when they were on the boat or whatever bored me to tears.
I liked S1 more, but S2 gave me more nuns.
Do it.
I think it was only a one-of-a-kind "mistake" (or not). I've only seen it for that promotional poster of the key animation exposition (http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/utena/gengaten.html). The BD-BOX didn't have any, from what I've seen of it!
