And so the prophecy has come to pass. My only regret is it wasn't retitled to "Everyone loves a good milf."

Putting lies in thread titles is wrong.

...Not that I have any clue what the current thread title is a reference to.

Harsh though it may be, the other mushishi did the right thing.

The drama in Toradora was handled so much better than this. Man, what a complete letdown this has been.

The only real case that really comes to mind is when Wayne Gretsky's father had a stroke and forgot how to speak English. He had to relearn the language. Any other examples I can think of come from fiction or cases of people just drinking too much.

This whole thing just feels like horse shit from a medical stance but I don't know. It feels like drama to the dramatic degree.

No Cambodian cartoons allowed!

It's like the last episode of Toradora amplified over an entire series. I wanted to like this simply because it wasn't in high school and people could have normal human relationships, but boy was I wrong.

And ;_; at True Dick. I guess we just wait for the next one lol
Time for insufferable Game of Thrones peeps to take over the Internets for a few months. lol

So now argiculture impacted my mushi. The mushi are starting to less and less grounded in logic. Though how the man became immortal and then travel the country to find argiculture techniques for the village was nice

To my knowledge the mushi were supposed to defy logic.

D-Frag! 12 + Final Thoughts

That was a fun little series. It gave me some School Rumble vibes, and I enjoyed that for a romantic comedy, it focused more on the latter part than the former. It even made me really appreciate a Shizuka Itou character, though that appreciation may be due to other factors. It's a weakness. With a show like this, it's all about if the sense of humor lands, and with the ridiculous, low-stakes games and the running gags that slowly built up - the Hunt For Porn in Space Game, the club's weird affiliations, Roka's bag - everything mostly worked. Takao didn't have much to do during the last few episodes, and I personally wanted to see more of Sakura, but for a way to spend Monday afternoons, it wasn't bad.

If Im watching TV its either documentaries, Mythbusters, How its made, Brain Games, Pawn Stars, or car restoration shows. I dont watch any serialized TV series.

Good choices. Seems like for me, the only time I'm actually watching new episodes of anything is on Saturday. For some reason, new episodes of MLPFIM, Power Rangers, Mythbuster and Toonami all fell on the same day...

Dropped it right after the whole accident thing, if I recall correctly. Should I go back to it? I just think I hate every single character aside from Nana and Mitsuo. They're so fucking annoying and your comment only made me remember all those feelings of hate.
 
Buuuuuuuuuh. I watch like, two Western TV shows now: Adventure Time and TWD. I guess when Doctor Who comes back I'll watch that, too. I've just been kinda off western TV since the Writer's Strike so long ago.

Oh, and I was watching Under the Dome when it was on. And I used to watch Burn Notice and Psyche. Should probably see how those ended.

If Im watching TV its either documentaries, Mythbusters, How its made, Brain Games, Pawn Stars, or car restoration shows. I dont watch any serialized TV series.

I watch TWD, Mythbusters and Pawn Stars too. And QI, Top Gear, Would I Lie to You?, Pointless and some other British shows. Only Norwegian shows I'm watching right now is Nytt på nytt and Brille.

Silly firehawk, you forgot the potential of anime to be...anime.
 
I'm only 2 minutes into Gundam X 25 and I swear the Frost Brothers can not get any more boring. These guys are easliy the worst part of Gundam X.

They're spying on the gang and they literally just stated that they are going to do something evil as nonchalantly as possible.

Do an evil laugh! Make a psychotic face! Do something to make me not like you for the right reasons!

I'm dying, holy shit that scream.

This is dogshit of the highest order. Ghost Banri has no defining characteristic other than screaming Linda's name over and over.

I'm dying man.

Somebody confirm that this isn't how amnesia works so I can completely write this show off. This is the worst show I've seen in awhile, holy shit.

I'm dying~~~~~~~

I thought absman was being a bit hypocritical when he kept looking down on the Souhoku sprinters for not racing to their full potential, even though he himself was admittedly not taking the race seriously and cycling with his goddamn shirt open the whole time. What, is it okay to rest on your laurels as long as you're winning?

He's decided to get serious now, though, so let's see some real racing!
 
Monogatari Season 2

Finally had time to watch and I really enjoyed this season. Also it was quite refreshing other characters than Koyomi could stand in the spotlight, shedding lots of details on their background and emotions.

Tsubasa Tiger

Gave a lot of insight on Hanekawa's mind and her relation with
the sawari neko, as well as her ability to summong powerful apparitions
though I do wish the
whole situation could have been resolved without Koyomi
. Also it felt super weird to see Senjougahara exhibit normal emotions when finding
Hanekawa in the school
Well she is still human, even with her obsessives yandere tendancies.
Mayoi Jiangshi

The whole
time trip thing
was a tad classic, but they still managed to tie the whole thing quite well. Not the strongest chapter of the season but it's redeemed by
adult Hachikuji :D
. It was also quite interesting to see how
Shinobu would react if Koyomi died.
Quite good indeed that "what if" did a very goood character develloppement for shinobu

Nadeko Medusa

For me Nadeko always was a weak character, maybe because of the forced swimsuit scenes in the first season and her lack of expression, so it was nice to
see the school scene where all her emotions are released on both the teacher and her classmates.
. I'd like to know though how
Senjougahara knew about the whole situation, she explains to Kaiki in the last chapter that she didn't know anything about the whole affair yet she manages to call at the right time and speaks like she knew everything that was happening.
You can thank hanekawa for that ..she doesn't know everything but she sure does know the essential
Shinobu Time

Nice bit of history on Shinobu, and though I liked
Mayoi as a character, I can understand why they'd want some closure for her. It's true that she had lost her reason to stay once they guided her to her mom's house and as such became just a support character that was here just for fanservice. I still felt super sad though with the farewell scene.
;-;
Hitagi End

I didn't expect the whole final arc to be on Kaiki. Overall a I really liked this chapter and the whole
investigation part that uses his skills as a con artist. Somehow after seeing this arc it was hard for me to hate the guy, even though his way to make a living is kinda despicable it feels like deep down he is not as bad as he looks. The final scene in particular felt kinda wrong, if that's really how he dies.
Yeah especially in the last 2 episodes ..but you do realise that some parts on this arc were 200% pure lies ..not everything was true ..the narrator was kaiki after all.
Your backlog is actually infinite now. Congrats.

I'm glad I caught up on Golden Time. Now I know to never hope anything good ever comes from Yuyuko Takemiya again.

Oh man.

Very fun episode. The only thing it lacked was Funabori-san. The first part was really cute.the fights were pretty funny. Tama looked pretty cute with her hair down but Takao looked the best.

Joseph, you can't just go around throwing your balls at men who are out of your league.

Lisa Lisa is here and she's badass as usual!
It's a shame later on she becomes basically a damsel in distress, because she's pretty awesome until then. And of course Joseph crushing on Lisa Lisa is hilarious/disturbing in retrospect.

Fuck episode 22-23.

Good stuff. I also watch a few BBC programs. Stellar stuff.

anime has been anime for as long as I can remember!

Top Gear?

sometimes. I buy some Top Gear on DVD.
 
Guys if it helps Golden Time is supposed to end on a good note. Just pretend episodes 22-23 are like concentrated Toradora later episode drama. You know when what's-her-face starts doing angry faces and screaming and fighting and punching.

Oooh Log Horizon author also wrote Maoyuu.

No wonder.

Is that good or bad to you?

And neither is that girl in Dance in the Vampire Bund!

Ok, I'm semi-kidding, but still it's kind of a problem in Honey and Clover. Not that I'm disputing that it's a great series, because it is.

Mina Tepes is definitely not a loli. Not sure exactly what she is but not a loli.

A history of disappointment, perhaps.

Though I don't have much room to talk, my team (when I followed football) was the Bengals.

Bungles fan. Im so sorry :(

I want to see you interact with some of the more vocal lolicon haters like Angelus.

I'd really rather not. Just reading threads with that kind of argument tends to leave me seething with rage for hours afterwards. I don't enjoy that. Easier to stay away ~.~


Mushishi 12

Well, I could see where this one was going as soon as she mentioned
the name Ginko
.

Quite the creepy little
origin story

It becomes less of a problem as the show goes on, though, IMO - Hagu's character design, as far as I remember it, changes as the series progresses and reflects her increasingly mature approach to life, such that by the end she's visibly not the same person she was when it started.

There's still the weird falling-in-love-with-you-know-who thing but I'll let that pass

Now I'm sad that there's still no 3gatsu no Lion anime. At least Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso looks like Chica Umino drew it!
