Well it clearly missed that one.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Not trying to pass off as an eminence in academic writing, but surely citing the evageeks wiki is not a good idea, even if the quote they are pulling is from somewhere else entirely?
I dunno, shit like that bothers me.
The greatest project anime-gaf has ever attempted. You have my....keyboard I guess.
Going from what my college writing courses have taught me, the correct thing to do would be to hunt down the original source and confirm the quote then just cite that. Doing anything else is complete laziness. Not sure why the college let her get away with that.
I suppose that her professors saw that she was writing a PhD dissertation on anime sexuality and just figured that giving it any further legitimacy by demanding accurate sources would just be a waste of everyone's time.
A bullshit paper for a bullshit doctorate. I guess that makes sense. It's not like she'll get any real mileage out of it anyway.

Just started watching Zetman. Up to episode 4 and I'm enjoying it. Kinda reminds me of The Guyver, so that may be where my pleasure is stemming from.
Still wish Junk was made into an OVA or something.

It's not even the right wiki article, not to mention that the actual entry has a link to the English translation of the original statement by Anno.
Not trying to discredit her work or anything just because of that, though. It just seems like a really careless mistake to make especially when considering the nature of fan wikis.

whose thesis are you reading? I'm curious.
I agree that that alone doesn't discredit the thesis. I was just surprised the person overseeing her doctorate approval would let that through. It seems like an easy fix to verify and have her change before a final submit.

Destroyed by celestial beings the episode after they started doing terrorism stuff ?
All the nations gave info to celestial being to track them down ..they lasted 1 episode as a threat.

I would rather watch Inazuma Eleven instead.

A bad song that's now 140 seconds worse.
No one here's, at least I think not. Just something one of us found on the internet.

I miss the first OP.

Thank you.
Anything is better than Koeda's voice.
This sort of articulates why I haven't liked it as an OP. Good call.
The thesis seems overall pretty rough, there are hilariously bad excerpts like this:
p. 21 said:
And a lot of the stuff she says is inane crap. But oh well, she did choose anime as her subject.

Sounds like your typical Porno Graffitti song. Though there are parts of it that I like though.
Ah, it's hard to keep track when there're like, fifty plotlines per episode.
War in the Pocket 4
Well, things sure got out of hand and ugly fast, didn't they?
It's super repetitive, and nothing about is particularly interesting from the vocals to the really weird guitar/violin mix. There are a handful of significantly better OPs from this season alone.

I do recommend that everyone should watch this.
Do you feel the same about other Porno Graffitti songs, or is it specific to this one?
Futari wa Precure Max Heart 18:
How terrible is Porun? Even the other mascots hate him.
welp, we finally hit a new low with the contrivances the show is using to be able to cram Hikari into everything. "Hey, by pure coincidence we chose to open the takoyaki stall at the base of the mountain you're camping on today! Out of all places in Japan we could have chosen completely at random to open up today, consider the odds..."

True Tears 2
I'm having a hard time understanding what's happening in this show. It's like, these characters haven't been introduced properly and the show's just going on thinking I know who they are.

Does it matter? I only know some of their stuff and I don't like any of it that I'm familiar with.
I feel this Porun that everyone hates should have had a heel turn opportunity. Mind you I'm speaking from ignorance and he very well might.
He's
Shiny Luminous' transformation device
I wasn't trying to be hostile; I was just curious if you didn't like the band's style or if it was localized to this song. Sheesh.
Anyway, for everyone, here's a song that, regardless of your preference for it, is quite the earworm.
DokiDoki Precure full ending "Kono Sora no Mukou"
Ignoring all the crappy CG, I thought True Tears was very well done for a harem/not-a-harem show. It doesn't fall into alot of the terrible harem tropes and manages to tell an OK story.
Except for that one thing I'm not gonna mention.
I dont understand why Porun is terrible.
He was so awesome in futari wa precure.
so adorable.
damn I love Precure music. from every series.
If only Mari Okada was always as restrained as in True Tears
In other news, the PV for Tamako 10 is out. And the only thing it's telling me is that Yamada is the director of the show.
This is amazing. I'd definitely watch a slice-of-life anime about Red Chair and Black Chair.

Remember the time when Okadabot had this and Toradora as writing credits :lol
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Did someone say Toradora?

Kramer is clearly an 80s mecha kind of person.
Did someone say Toradora?
I heard someone say Toradora!
How times have changed. I remember when I respected Kyoda as a director.
Hard Boiled DT 22
This series has pretty much nailed the gag flashback and this one was definitely no exception to just how brilliant and creative they are.
Also I'm not quite sure if they were joking about reaching the final ending soon as while they have 24 eps listed here, there's no confirmation that 24 will actually be the last one. I hope it isn't anyway as this show's great.
Looks like there's a "Toward the Final ep. Event" announced for March 24 so it's either ending for reals or they're trolling the shit outta us. ;-;
