Seriously?) yes I agree, I thought it was an overreaction but I think the idea was that their age played a role in that. They are 17, almost 18 last I checked. It was like: omg, they are going to split us up, no way, not gonna let it happen so we'll hide for 2 months then get married. They are young and lack experience which is why I think that happened. Also, if you finished watching: + Show Spoiler +they actually re-thought about the plan and ended up modifying it and being mature about it. It was all in the heat of the moment like when he blasted him mom for pressuring him so much. To me, that's how I saw it so while a bit bizzare and out of place, it made sense in the context of the situation. PS you don't need to tell someone I like you if you both already know it  It was kinda obvious that they both liked each other lol plus they did plan on saying I love you and ended up kissing after the fact. Yea I know you can blame it on age and all that. What I was more annoyed at goes back to my earlier complaint: instead of having this convoluted run around where they leave have family reunion then come back and then she leaves again they could have instead spent that time on extending the relationships and their closure with the situation in a better way. Edit: Now that I finished it (Lol my mortuary paper  ) I liked the very end but the wacky few episodes that came right before it I didn't like. Overall it was good, but it could have wandered into great territory if they did the middle-end episodes differently imo. hmm, maybe the author wanted to add drama or thought that eloping would be a way to close of the series later? I mean take something like Clannad. + Show Spoiler +Tomoyo confesses to Nagisa and it stops there then afterstory picks it up from there. We don't know if they will eventually get married etc... so it's unknown. With Toradora, we know that they plan to do it since it was mentioned. The timing wasn't the best and I agree, that less drama there and having those episodes for development purposes would've been wiser but how much developments can you do in an episode or two though? If you look at it from another perspective, their family issues were all fixed by the end. It wasn't the prettiest way to do it and it definitely could've been done better but then how do you get the mom to see her parents again? Since I'm being very confusing lol, I guess what I'm saying is: I think there wasn't enough time for meaningful developments since it would feel crammed due to the fact that they seemed limited on episodes (better episode management needed?) so why not end up with some drama and confirmation of what's to come. There is no Toradora afterstory to further explore things. yes, ending was ok. As I mentioned to TanKLoveR in one of our discussions, we both thought that just another episode where everyone welcomes her back and do some 'final' activity together would've been much better closing. The ending episodes were getting bizzare and unexpected when I watched it but cmon, that's what we watch for, right? XD Mmm I guess I think they should have concentrated on the people/relationships/drama they already had going without throwing in the family drama. The whole conflict with his mother and the subsequent "resolution" wasn't needed at all. You could even have left Taiga's parental issues at the side and leave it at "they have a strained relationship". That way several episodes could have been completely different and more focused and allowed for them to shore up the drama among the circle of friends. You can't tell me that they couldn't have did what they did with Ami the last portion of the season (didn't take up much time) with Minori. I don't like it when characters that are in the "main group" get reduced to simple devices to drive whatever plot or drama they wanted next. They stretched themselves thin by adding on extra mini story lines for conflicts that no one cared about (or even knew existed until Ryuji suddenly blew up on his mother and ran away).
Good points. I don't disagree since I also felt that the family drama wasn't needed, that it can be resolved off panel. I was merely pointing out reasons why they did it. Maybe they felt that, that stuff needed to be resolved before they get together? I'm honestly not sure why they went with the family drama and such. I wanted to see them end up together and just an episode or two on top of that to see how everyone handles the new couple and such but they went all out in the final couple of episodes. At least, we know there are no more obstacles in their path since they each fixed up their own problems before getting together again meaning they are clear whenever they decide to get married and such 
edit: Just rewatched parts of the latest Arpeggio episode, so excited for the next episode lol. Hope it's full of action. Anyone else in the same boat? I really want to know the reason behind the fog and their attack on humanity. Also, want to see what + Show Spoiler +Takao will do next seeing as Haruna and Kirishima can't do much and can't see them defending against the fog since they aren't 100% loyal(or as loyal) as Takao is. I figure they'll either try to escape before Kongo and Maya makes it there or somehow fight against them with Takao's support but again, with barely any material, I have to wonder just how they will manage that >.> So many questions and such a long wait XD

They're obviously gonna magic up some battle with Kongou and company. Beyond that it's hard to tell, as the anime has now deviated completely from the manga. A battle with Yamato is possible, but would be fucking retarded for various reasons. Musashi has not been shown. Nagato has not been shown. It seems way too late to introduce all the other guys, especially considering the material that has been skipped.

Unless they think up an anime-only reason, you're not gonna get any answers as far as the fog's motivations are concerned.

Does Hulu have shitty ad timings for all their shows or do they only do this for anime? My God the number of times an ad break comes right in the middle of an important scene is ridiculous.

hmm well, I was planning on reading the manga soon-ish so I guess if they don't talk about in the anime, I'll be getting it from the source lol. I just figured it was something important that they have to touch on but if it's deviating that much from the manga, who knows.

edit: little busters has been good so far. Good comedy and umm oddness with that lol.

If you are watching season 1 yeah its pretty odd. Cringe through all the desu's stay for the Kurugaya

Kare Kano is so good , love Tsubasa and Kazuma too much. Glad they gave Yukino and Arima a break to give the others some spotlight, + Show Spoiler +but I was annoyed they "fixed" Takefumi's and Sakura's relationship in such a rush D:, seemed like they fixed it over night in a couple of pages . Also curious why she wants to make him fat again <.<, don't think they gave it a real reason lol.
BigFan always ruins everyone's fun.

There weren't really any spoilers except for takefumi's and sakura's relationship comment, but nothing REALLY happens which is why I thought it was rushed. You should watch the anime and then read the manga, is so good . Also right now you have the advantage that you don't know who those people are .
Now you have to edit yours, you jerk. Also Hmm Happy Birthday?

there's still people who kept watching Kill la Kill after something like 4 to 6 episodes?
|
Aw ep7 of Samurai Flamenco was still a good episode, but I don't like where they're taking the series
+ Show Spoiler +Samurai Flamenco is a regular human trying to be a super hero in a world where super heroes are ridiculous. He has some crazy gadgets now, but they weren't that far fetched. Now they're including actual super villains that transform into monsters with super human strength and able to kill several police officers bare handed. Still will be an interesting show, but feels more cliche now
|
Why wouldn't people watch it? It's quite awesome and fun to watch.
On that note, today I been so consumed reading Kare Kano's manga at work that I totally forgot Kill's and Nagi no Asakura's new episode came out today O.o. I would have gone home, kept reading Kare Kano and forget to watch them .

It has had one or two bad episodes, the rest have been at least okay. This week was good.

It'll be tough to do 2 cours with the way KLK is going at the moment, I won't go so far as to say that the series is bad so far but it isn't the most inspiring work for sure.
