Also, since I decided to look it up, apparently the station that Yunosagi was based off of, Nishigishi, has been renamed to... Yunosagi Station. WTF PA Works. You got a city to change the name of a place because of anime... :lol

Well, since the show turned to shit when it went to Tokyo, it'd make sense not to show the movie there!

I find it funny that the new sign somehow looks more rusted and worn than the old sign though... was that how it looked in the anime or something?

More shows need to turn into K-On for the good of the industry.

That was a joke. They did however stick a luggage trolly in a wall and place a 9¾ sign up though. It had to be moved because tourists were getting in the way.

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.

It counts. You think that if her sister was there in the nude she's suddenly not be interested?

I like that this episode was nominally about the school trip, but actually all the good skits were about sakuruko and himiwari being adorable. Also, I hadn't realised the girls were actually in different grades for pretty much the entire show.

This whole episode felt like some other anime that I watched or at least felt like what I had hoped some of those random cowboy bebop's ought o have been in terms of story and genre. Anyway wholly unforgettable and the ending.
No way that was Variation!!!

That's mentioned at the beginning of the first episode. That's why Akari knows which club to join in the first place, because her two older friends are in it.

Wouldn't that make more sense in the word "death"?
Click to expand...
From a meaningfulness point of view, probably.
I thought about it for a sec and the conclusion I reached is that, by putting the cross in "NOtE" and spacing out the letters in that word a bit, along with shrinking the O and E, it's closer to the edge of the book without as many letters crowded around it, so maybe it stands out more, and then the fully uppercase "DEATH" can also stand out on its own?
I dunno, I didn't major in layout design or anything, just guessing.

Or it could just be an all-caps DEATH and normally capitalized Note and we're all reading too much into it.

Well since doujin avatars came up again.

I did make some K-On ones, but I wasn't that pleased with them. The source is good and I would recommend it, but the avatar potential was not meant to be.

I have found that it's best to just let inspiration strike rather than trying to hunt down avatar potential.

To be fair I was just making a silly observation. The reason for the lower case t probably comes down to "I thought it looked sugoi."

I was curious and check how much ster.com was going for. £24,220.26 minimum bid. No idolm@ster.com email for me then. Maybe I'll write to the owners of ster.co.uk.

Yeah, I found a new avatar worthy pic that I really want to use but I don't want to leave the greyscale doujin crew hanging.

- If you're going to have a subway poster to advertise all 32 current Cures for the newest Precure All Stars movie, you'd damn well better have enough space on the wall.

- Speaking of Precure, apparently MakoPi's omurice in DokiDoki episode 6 somehow magically doubled in size on the way from the frying pan to the plate.

- And finally, speaking of omurice, here's a wide variety from some different anime shows. Anything you'd eat? (For bonus points, try and recognize where each one is from -- I don't have an answer key though)

I had a couple extra unplanned things to deal with over the weekend, so they're not quite fully organized yet, but yeah, I'll get those out later today.

edit: looks like another few entries just came in from the mention of the survey though, so I'll give it another couple of hours then retabulate everything.

One my original options was in colour (IRC lot will know what I'm talking about) and I even posted some more colour ones the other day. Worst comes to the worst you could just make the avatar greyscale to fit in. All that matters is that it is from a doujin.

From the New World - Episode 22-23

Finally caught up on the show. It's not a horrific mess or anything like I might have expected, but it's honestly not very good either. It's a huge step down from the really solid horror thriller vibes most of the final arc has had so far. Instead in the recent episodes it feels more like a generic JRPG in both plot direction and execution. Worse still, there's a new party member no one cares about, and pairing him with Saki doesn't make it dramatic at all. The tone was all wrong.

The underlying themes in the show are still really interesting and I definitely want to see how it all plays out to the end, but it's clear that this series can't be called a success by any measure. It's an inconsistent and troubled production showing both signs of a lack of budget for the vision of the show, as well as incompetence and inexperience on the part of the people who are in charge of it. Too many tonal shifts which aren't handled well, set pieces which repeatedly flounder due to poor execution. The decision to use really poorly thought out CG elements for major props is also a very puzzling thing.

I guess this is what happens when you put together a staff of relatively young people who are new to heavier levels of responsibility, and let them make something rather ambitious without a strong guiding hand to assist them. The production issues at A-1 probably doesn't help either. Watching bad episodes of this show reminds me of Jojo honestly - filled with heart, but just lacking on the polish and execution most of the time.

Well, there is one data point from the survey that I can safely confirm now, though it's probably not going to be a terrible surprise to anyone: of the 40 self-selected AnimeGAF survey respondents so far, all but one are male.

I'll leave the survey open for about another hour for any last-minute entries if you haven't gotten the chance yet (quote this post for the link), then I'll lock it up and should be able to get the rest organized within a few hours.

By any measure? I think that's taking it quite a bit too far, lol.
