I'm talking about Shinzō Abe, the prime minister of Japan for the last 6 years, you pretentious moron. The running joke is that Abe gives money to anime studios to stealthily push pro-procreation and pro-family elements to increase birth rates.

I'm going to run out of these soon.

Gurazeni the baseball anime is good, got me hooked completely

i wish Isekai Izakaya was good, but it isn't

Anyone watching Gundam Build Divers?

I wouldn't be surprised.
The baby this time around is particularly annoying and needy. It's crying can apparently pause time and be heard from miles away. They spent most of one ep just hunting down a mother to shut the baby up.
It feels a bit shoehorned, but does make some sense. Little girls play with dolls after all and in many cases it might be those baby style ones. If they like seeing this sort of thing in precure however, who knows.

I'm surprised this didn't bother her at all. I guess they want to spike birth rates at any cost.

Oh my GAWD! She's so adorable!!

I know that feeling all too well.

It's not just you, I think it resulted in a fair bit of cross over art at the time.

Unacceptable.

>when I watched Code Geass I actually wanted to buy pizza
Not sure if S;G was one of them, but pizza hut officially sponsored tons of anime.
Oddly enough, while I've seen countless parodies of Dr. Pepper in anime over the years, FLCL Alternative is the first and only time I've seen an official looking placement of it.

The way ep5 went it made this story seem like it was gonna go in a really weird dumb direction So Kurisu is dead right? but her memory is backed up. Meanwhile a girl shows up who looks like Kurisu but has no memories. Kinda made it seem like they were possibly going to put the two together, but I have a hard time seeing how they could justify an action like that.

>>31267
Kagari looking like Kurisu doesn't matter in the slightest, other than getting some reactions out of Okabe.

This series' editiors and director really now how to set a good cliffhanger. I felt legitimate dreat in the last scene. The moment Amadeus shut down I immediately though "Oh, no..." and it delivered immediately after. I have a very tiny complaing about Mayushii's cosplay friends, who while add to the fanservice aspect of the series, feel sligthly shoehorned in as a way to cement Daru's future marriage to Yuki; I get it, but still feels a little forced. I appreciate the little nods and hints that things may not being what it seem, like pic related.

This was a fantastic ep. Her reactions are priceless and this ep was an over load.

I see someone has a fetish~

So I hear a master is out?

>>31283
For me, it's getting told "good job today" by a beautiful teacher.

That's what she said.

I wish translators would stop turing 'o'negai' into 'wish'. 'Hoshii' is wish and you don't make wishes to Gods.

That aside: I'm assuming the voice actors drew their characters, cute.

They're better than one would expect. They've probably been practicing a lot.

It's probably not, but I want to believe this was a reference to Mahoraba: Heartful days

This guy looks like a professional.

It's been so long since I've seen the last installment I really can't remember anything at all. There's a bit of recapping here and there in the first ep of this, but I still felt a fair bit lost.

Ep.14 sucked. Unnecessarily dark and overly dramatic. If the Mirage card gives you illusions based in your desires, then what? Sakura wanted to kill all her friends in a fire? What the hell? The intimacy moment between Sakura and Syaoran felt sudden and out of place. We also have a red herring where we're left to assume Akiho's book had something to do with the transformations just to have that dropped and a card appearing instead. This episode is just a rushed motive for Sakura wanting to "get stronger" whatever that means.
And what happened with the angle shots? Panning around every couple minutes, going in circles like it's about to faint? It looks like someone else entirely directed this ep. I don't get.

I can't get over how bad the new intro is. I understand Alice in Wonderland is referenced enough in this arc that they wanted to make a intro central to it but this just feels like a shitty emo music video from the early 2000s with the whole red and black palette. Not comfy at all I say.

Thank you kindly. Sometimes I regret not telling people what my thoughts were at the time but once I really think about it, it was for the best. Imagine if you ask some guy why he takes 10 seconds too long to close a door and he responds by saying he's trying to be a better person? Hilarious.

>>31139
You're right. That was just part of it. Basically I wanted people to feel completely safe around me. Not just purity of conduct but also of intent. I don't know. I still try to be a good person but now that I'm more or less isolated from the world what I end up doing is becoming really tidy and silent. When I heard about Marie Kondo and the stuff she talks about like thanking her clothing by the end of the day or handling your objects with "

I've been liking clear card so far but there are still a few things that bother me.

I still can't tell if the second movie happened or not. If the movie happened then Eriol's house really shouldn't be there, but episode 15 is all about the play from that movie. The amusement park doesn't seem to be there anymore either. Does that mean the Nothing never got unsealed? Did Sakura never get the Hope? It feels like they keep skirting around this without ever addressing it directly.

Setting it in modern times is off-putting. Normally I wouldn't mind but Sakura made a reference to Tomoyo's old camera and I think there was a reference to her old game console as well. Ignoring the fact that the old series happened in the 90s would be ok but putting references like that in there just makes it confusing.

The biggest issue I have with clear card is that Sakura seems to not care about the Sakura cards anymore. There has been almost no mention of them outside the first few episodes. When Sakura learned that the Clow cards would turn into normal cards she transformed as many as she could at once out of desperation. She clearly cares about them, but when all the cards turn clear and lose their power she doesn't seem too broken up about it. Kero and Eriol don't know what's happening and for all Sakura knows, the cards could've lost their power for good. It just seems strange that she's so unconcerned about this.

I'm happy there's more Sakura at all though, and even more happy that Meiling is back. I hope she sticks around for more than a couple episodes this time.
Really excited for what looks like the Fight/Power coming back next episode too.

How come this dude can lie his ass off and no one cares, but in other anime (most notably Natsume) people treat kids who lie like hell spawn bastards deserving of bullying and abuse?

>>31273
You mean sloths can't run fast?

I think that'd be worth the kick to the face.

I know it's not the same scene, but a picture makes no justice to such a moment:

Anyone else notice really bad audio quality in the latest hs release?

What's with her and these cubes?

The long haircuts are the best!
Short -tomboy and trash haircuts like yanki mullet are PIG DISGUSTING

Blue hair is best colour.
Undecided on style.

Different hair styles suit different girls. I'm a big fan of the occult club member, also like twintails in all flavours. The foreign exchange student is pretty nice too.

>>30870 Definitely the megane-ko style, they're the best students to sexually bully
