It's pretty bad (both the show and the OP), avoid.

I never met an actual GAFer. For all I know you might all be bots. (That would be hilarious to be tricked by a bot forum by the way)

I'm pretty sure he said Ami's the best girl and that Taiga should go away, stating the obvious basically.
The Seven Seas translation makes Ami a seriously amazing character. Scanlations can't compete!
Y'know, at first I thought the preview would be all legs, then the last two scenes happened.
The bed dive at the end is great.
No! That's her biggest triumph.
Honestly I would have liked all legs lol.
I'm pretty excited for the Tamako Market episode because the last two have been awesome and it's due time they start wrapping up the plot points.

Okay, I'm starting to realize that the episodes aren't in chronological order. Guess I'm going to have to pay extra close attention, since I noticed that they introduced something in this episode that was referenced in Ep. 1.
...I'm going to have to take notes for this series, aren't I? :lol

Which makes my going back and forth on this over a great length of time terrible. I've forgotten most of this stuff since it's been months. I only remember a few bits and pieces from the first half a dozen (which is where I stopped last time) like episode one having the best date.
All I know is that the last episode I watched on Sunday was the day before a sports day and the next episode is going to be months later so we don't even get to see the day of sports.

I cant wait for the dub to start soon. Dots and lines was one of last years best ops.

Man, Kircheis' ancestor is a pretty loyal person, his undying devotion to whatever cause he believes in must surely run in the family! Seriously though, this was a fantastic episode. I might've been dogging it pretty hard in the early eps for it's less that stellar production values but there are times when it has some utterly fantastic animation and pitch perfect directing and this episode was most definitely one of those. Watching the cast turn from a bunch of fairly simplistic yet incredibly charming and fun loving goofs into these surprisingly complex and meaningful characters has been a real joy to watch, especially with the far more serious tone this shows taken over the past couple of eps. Easily the dark horse of the season (that isn't Encouragement of Climb even though i was looking forward to that the day it was announced AND Y'ALL DIDN'T BELIEVE!!!!!!) and one that's not to be missed.

Yeah, 24's definitely the last one for this series, a shame too as I can't see this getting a sequel.

I have actually read that when it was mentioned on IRC. It was actually pretty amusing.
I would guess most of them are confused, not really recognising what the hell that even is while wondering what silly thing will happen next. Another good one is the Saitama prefecture forming a sister state alliance with the Principality of Zeon. The reactions to that are about what I'd expect about the station change basically. But hey gotta drive that tourism right?
If you look at the loli thread this is actually not that far fetched.
Maybe it's a deep commentary about the state of the medium with regards to filler.
These are words to live by.

Gotta get dat tourist money. Can't blame them, the shrine from Lucky Star took advantage of its popularity too.

It's not different than Hobbiton. I should save up money for a trip to New Zealand before the money going in to the upkeep for Hobbiton wanes.
GaoGaiGar FINAL -END]
The episode itself kinda meh but goddamn man.. the ending.. dem feels can't be stopped, the ending song with everyone singing was a killer.
The series for overall is not as good as the OG because the story structure that still felt like multi cour series but only have 8 episode, I don't know what new chara use like Reene aside providing nice fanservice with dat body and reward for Soldat J for being awesome, but its still worth it for 2D mecha goodness that we won't see again and the glorious ending.

O-T-P O-T-P O-T-P.
Seriously though for a show called Yuri Yuri they are the only real yuri going on in this show. They are really great, the scenes between the two of them never disappoint.
I'd like to draw your attention to your own avatar.

Actually it's "yuru yuri".
The author made "yuri yuri" and believe me it's got everything in that one
Hataraki Man 10
This episode baffled me. This show has thrown a lot of cultural weirdness at me, but it was always possible to contextualize it. However, with Kaji's character, I feel like there are all these cultural assumptions about a certain kind of woman which the show expects me to know. I don't understand them, and it makes this episode rather weird.
The main part of that, which distracted me the whole episode, is the completely context free revelation that
Why does she do it? What's in it for her? How does she feel about it? It's impossible to tell, because the show gives us no details. I feel like I'm expected to understand it without being told, but I don't.
That aside (kinda?) the larger theme of the episode is contrasting Kaji's traditional feminine virtue with Matsukata's diligent work ethic and "Hataraki Man" demeanor. All the other women we've been introduced to so far are used to show Kaji by contrasting them in the early minutes of the episode. It's an effective device, but it only serves to show us the surface of the character. The whole episode seems rather reluctant to let us deep inside the mind of the always-collected Kaji, so it was really tough for me to understand what the character's storyline was really about. So in the end, I was just vaguely uncomfortable with the whole thing. I couldn't help feel strange about how she effortlessly dazzled the male staff, especially in contrast to how Matsukata was treated last episode.
I can sort of see how it comes together, but those missing pieces really bothered me. This is the first episode to leave things open for the next one, so I'm curious how the finale turns out.

Like, I don't know about you guys, but most places would consider this a fair excuse for being late.

by night, Kaji serves as a nude model for a famous, possibly wealthy elderly artist who feels he needs women to inspire his art.

Get used to seeing this expression. I think maybe the point is her constant air of detachment isolates her emotionally from everyone else, since she never lets her emotions show.

Oh whoops my typo has led me to see that something else exists. I see.
I don't think making out with your own dakimakura counts as yuri. I'm going to have to check the rulebook on that one.
