Ok, ok, that's enough yays from competent people, ordered, but I had to skimp on the shipping, no matter, as I prefer the cheap shipping as the postman will fit it in my apartment's mail box(it's freaking huge for an apartment box) instead of me trying to get out of work to see the landlord and pick it up during the office's hours.

Thanks!

Yup. Most shocking ending ever.

Watch the movie now.

IF YOU DARE!
That was the one off note in an otherwise excellent ending.

Oh, and Kino's? A wise choice.

Although strangely enough this would be the time that a certain blogger is in the middle of their 'critique of Kino' series of articles. Preview : They have many bones to pick with the show.

I was talking about Kuroneko and Kirino. Kyousuke's a bro. Not the kind of bro who wants to get it on with his sis.

This is anime no one ever gets it on anymore.

There is no "on" so they can't get any.

I'm pretty sure I recognized most of the doujin artist names, from back when the thread uh, went off course.

How many of those were based on real artists?

I don't know, the at the end of the first episode of Yosuga no Sora it looked like twincest was going to happen.

Was it onscreen or offscreen? I mean like, School Days on screen.

Once again, a certain show centring on an incestuous relationship defeated this common anime trope.

I stand corrected.

But I"m still miffed Rock hasn't gotten any yet.

Hey man, it could be implied as something that has happened off-screen. But it hasn't.

Anime standards activate! Women in showers is fine, but sex would be far too much!

Hey they shared a cigarette flame once!

I'd love to share a cigarette flame with Remy but too bad I don't smoke.

Well they have to do it sometime since it was the main reason people wanted to play the game and those game CGs don't lie!

I assume Sora is the girl?

Because it's hot when the sister's asking for it but it's creepy when it's the brother.

Now I imagine them as Sora from Digimon and Hatsuharu from Fruit basket.

Do not want.

Here, now you can think of them as albinos!

No, now I'm thinking of them as crazy ass hungarian murderers.

I9 i think you know the answer to this already.

I guess i need to check out Oreimo to see what the fuss is about.

All it is, is that people can't comprehend that an anime about a brother and sister without incest can exist.

That said only 8 eps for that to change.

Coincidence, I don't follow blogs but I do follow sales so it was this or that one Kenshin series Trust and Betrayal. Section 23 stuff is on sale at Right Stuf, although some things prices didn't move, like Nadia which was still 14 bucks a volume, not bad but it means I can wait on those.

I just watched up to episode 4 right now, it's golden. It's quite an enjoyable show lots of laughs to be had.

The answer, as always, lies in patriarchy!

Just reread "Eden, It's An Endless World!" recently and I kind of want to see it adapted into an anime.

Zakuro continues to impress. Episode 4 was a nice departure from the standard episode format we've gotten. Cast of characters continues to be enjoyable (twins are starting to wear thin though)

Macross Frontier: Itsuwari no Utahime
Finally got to watch the movie! It was actually much much better than I was expecting. Thought I was going to get 3/4 recap 1/4 new but it was more like the other way around. The series definitely deserved the movie treatment, the animation and the CGI was ridiculously better.

Yosuga no Sora time :3

This almost feels like a makoto shinkai movie.

Anyone watched the Princess Lover OVAs?
I'd rather watch myself get a root canal in the mirror with no anesthetic. Probably, never having seen the ovas or gotten a root canal, but a root canal is higher on my to do list than watching any more Princess Lover.

Holy shit at those tits

O-o

Okay so we have maid, oujo-sama, shrine maiden, albino goth loli. And everyone has antennas.

Yes "bumpy parts" I'm sure there well be Haru, lots of "bumpy parts". Big pairs of honking "bumps".

Ah there's Normal.

And glasses girl.

DESK. IN THE BACK. BY THE WINDOW. NEXT TO ONE OF YOUR HAREMMATES. Those open shoulder cuffs are nice. But why doesn't he have a uniform?

Table-kun's job got outsourced it seems :(

ARE THE TORPEDO BAYS READY?
YES CAPTAIN
ALRIGHT, DIVE DIVE DIVE.

(What time slot is this)

Yosuga no Sora 1: Wow okay I should've locked the door haha... Yeah. So people who follow the eroge scene does this series have a nice boat ending?

EDIT: Guess not. I think I'll keep this series.

I wonder if little sisters are going to supplant Tsunderes. Or maybe just tsundere little sisters, or are they only transition characters?

Hmmm, close but not quite. I guess with their parents dead and all they can't afford a iPhone 4 for Christmas. Or maybe AT&T doesn't cover the countryside.

A tiny no name deli in the countryside has a cell phone app that updates with sales on foodstuffs? America is so far behind it's not even funny.

I tried to but the terrible animation put me off.

Is it really that badly animated? I was kinda happy that a more pervert variant compared to the TV version was made, since that was the only saving grace of the show, as everything else sucked while the first episode was kinda funny.
Guess I'll have to check it out by myself.

edit: I see nipples! And sex scenes!
More than badly animated, it almost feels like it isn't animated at all. Disappointing!

So it looks like Yosuga no Sora is a bit like Amagami SS with different story arcs for each girl.

Kazuha route : Ep 1,2,3,4
Akira Route : Ep 1,2,5,6
Nao Route : Ep 1,7,8,9
Sora Route : Ep 1,7,10,11,12

Man, what is it with some Funimation DVDs not letting you turn on subtitles for the English dub? Oh well.

Welcome to the NHK is still good and I'm glad I picked up the SAVE set.

I haven't watched Eva so I can't really tell but by the time you're halfway through the movie it's pretty much nearly 100% new

Yeah, the second Eva movie was mostly new stuff whereas the first movie was mostly a summary.

Oh yeah, did you ever check out the Cantonese K-On dubs? :lol

Is this the new trend in harem shows now?
Also, there's a sister route? :p

Anyone watching Iron Man besides me? This show is great. Seriously. A top 3 show of the season easily.

Wolverine just made an awesome cameo in episode 4.
