wtf...just found out they are replacing a third season of Sora No Otoshimono with a movie...... I guess its because of the major shift in tone that they didn't think another 13 episode SOL comedy season would work. Arg.

I thought I mentioned it before, Nishio kills characters that he likes so that he won't have to keep writing the said characters.

Just keeps getting better and better. Nice to see the usage of someone's weakness and such against them and all done without violence so far lol. I wonder just how many guilds they've invited to the meeting. Also, the relationships between the guild heads and such. Get the feelings that some of them are old friends from the Tea Party or something but that's speculation on my part.

Kill la Kill is less about the animation and more about the style. And its style is great.

Really good episode of Log Horizon, was interesting to see how they were setting everything up for whatever future plans they are doing. Next episode should definitely be interesting since we'll see Shiro deal with everyone directly. Also, am I the only one who found the amount of times they were adjusting their glasses a bit annoying? Every time they were going to say something clever or outsmart those other dudes /adjusts glasses.

I dunno, I find it funny lol.

You mean you don't do that?

Maybe a bit hard to do if you don't have any glasses though.


Started watching Dog Days, it's pretty fun so far with lots of good VA:s. Also dat Nana OP.

I do it all the time

The "for what it is" comment that I made seemed to spark some discussion

IS "for what it is" is simply this. IS isn't a typical anime that draws you in with a plot that makes you continue watching because you just have to know what happens next. You won't feel emotionally moved from this plot in either direction (except maybe frustration because of the male lead). "What it is" is a spectacle that delivers cute girls being cue in a sci fi setting that occasionally has mecha-like battles that are also somewhat enjoyable. It also delivers cheap harem drama.

In short its just a shallow anime that once you peel off the outer layer there is absolutely nothing underneath. But its enjoyable and fun to watch nonetheless.

Edit: Don't Lose Your Way from Kill la Kill is too good.

Its okay to like shallow anime. I like plenty of shallow anime. But I don't see why its necessary to say its good "for what it is", though. Like, what sort of anime isn't good "for what it is"? To me, "for what it is" sounds like code speak for "this is bad but I like it anyway". Maybe that's not what you actually mean it to be, but that's how I interrupt the line.

what are you guys talking about? IS has the most solid and best storyline I'm ever seen. Rock solid, no flaws and mech is on par with gundam wing. Characters are well developed and all have different personalities with very minor similarities.

I kid lol. Slaughter is right

BigFan, your ability to completely ignore context and what is actually being talked about is very impressive, rivaling even XenOmega's ability.

Soujirou is the only one from teaparty that runs anything major, no one else particularly involved in anything major. Only natural given the nature of that group.

Not sure about usage of someone's weaknesses, this is just getting money from a VC. Nothing more.

I'm aware of the fact that we are talking about using the term "as it's meant to be" or w/e the term was. I was trying to make a joke then said that I agreed with Slaughter post about IS being an anime with no strong plot and hanging on the drama as well as some decent mech fights that we get every 2-3 episodes or so. Not sure where what I stated ignored the context >.>

hmm fair enough. I figured that some other members from the Tea party might be running other guilds and such since the anime didn't talk much about the other members. + Show Spoiler +
Well, ya, getting money but they knew that they only consider profits and don't think far ahead etc... that's what I was referring to. The mind games rather than weakness lol

I agree with Sentenal, you should like what you like and not care if other people don't like it or hate it. Your tastes are your own and you should watch even "bad" stuff because you like it . I think more than once I had to say something like "Well people say it's bad but I like it for these reasons", works well.

+ Show Spoiler [Space Brothers] +
Kind of sad to be honest with this episode, I mean next to Mutta's relationship with Hibito, Kenji is his best friend and his closest relationship outside of his brother so it kind of sucks they seem to be stuck being "angry" at each other and seeing the other as enemy. Sure they "should" do it considering the situation but it's awkward for me to see such a nice friendship to change so suddenly. This whole situation should come down to who has the best plan for the building and is the most imposing, the other 2 astronauts make the call of who's plan gets built but it depends heavily on who is the most convincing with his plan. Sigh I feel equally bad for both but I would side with Mutta in this situation, hope they both make it though somehow.


This episode of White album 2 was a bit underwhelming lol, really not what I was expecting.
+ Show Spoiler +
They seem to have gone for the calm before the storm episode, wasn't just me who was seeing Setsuna as a third wheel this entire episode apparently <.<. Now Touma is the passive aggressive one lol, with the way she acts with Haruki now and the things she sort of says. As I knew Haruki is a gigantic pussy and got rolled over by Setsuna so now he's going along with her, seems to me he doesn't really want to be with her but he's an idiot so he can't bring himself to reject Setsuna. Either because he's not terribly sure of his feelings for Touma or he's that big of a pussy, whatever the case it was kind of painful to see Setsuna in the middle of the two the entire episode.

I'm expecting the next episode or the one after that when we go full hurricane emergency episode. It is so painfully obvious that Touma likes Haruki but she's playing tough now because OBVIOUSLY she's thinking she never stood a chance to Setsuna and since she has sort of gotten to like her friends she doesn't want to do something to destroy that friendship. I think it's mostly she's A) Afraid and B) Not terribly sure about her feelings either. Everything about this episode told me "Haruki likes Touma" then she mentions by next year she might get a bf and Haruki had this look of NOWAI on his face followed by Setsuna pretending Haruki didn't totally freak out and that he really doesn't like her <.<. I feel honestly bad for Setsuna. I get the feeling Haruki is going out with her just to be nice... so obviously this should go well later on >.>. Even Chiaki was like wtf why is he dating Setsuna? Seems to me it's obvious he likes Touma and his friends were like STFU you don't want to open that can of worms, but even Io was kind of agreeing with him but she's not as honest as Chiaki.

Also HOLY SHIT am I jealous... fuck MENAGE A TROIS TAIM! IN THE HOT SPRING. Luckiest mother fucker alive wow, he totally saw Touma fully exposed there lol I would have enjoyed that soooooooooooo much . Haruki fucking sucks ugh, dude just fucking do what you want to do instead of what other people expect you to do. I expect his balls to finally drop by the next episode if not NOTHING is going to happen since Touma is just as big of a coward, he'll have babies with Setsuna before he's completely honest with his feelings about Touma if things stay this way.

ya I agree partly with your post. I think this episode was quite major. It confirmed somethings we knew and others we were unsure of. So many hints dropped. It's that obvious to me that + Show Spoiler +
he like Touma with all his reactions. Same with Touma. I felt that Touma was trying to get him to focus on Setsuna because she knew his feelings. I mean, how many times did she tell him to stop before he completed his sentences in the room at the end? Touma talking about her future boyfriend and being aggressive with him after we've seen her being so nice to him when he was over at her place? I think he's dating Setsuna because he can't handle saying no to her but he has feelings for Touma.

Then as you mentioned, the mention by Chiaki about him dating Setsuna and such. You know what I would like? If more guys started talking and I guess hitting on Touma. This episode did a good job of showing that they are still together and Touma was accepting of them dating and such but I think having more guys talk with Touma and I guess flirt would add another dimension to the show. I want to see how Haruki would react to that. Would he just look from the side or involve himself in it? Either way, good episode. I didn't expect the start either, felt out of place since I figured that there would be some fireworks but Touma was so accepting lol. I guess Setsuna was her best friend

ps Haruki got my respect because he tried his best to avoid seeing them naked lol.

Their lack of experience meant they weren't considering anything further from making profits. I only mentioned only making profits because of what we saw which was all of them fighting with each other about who pays how much and such. They did do some thinking about it but it wasn't much imo.

Except there wasn't really any reason to think further. The issue was settled when that situation was set up.

There is a more delicate part to the affair in that you don't want to generate bad will from any of the parties simply because of their size, but that was about it. The whole thing was just an overdramatic version of something straightforward to generate tension and make Shiroe sound smart. I am fine with the concept and all, but it was just a silly exaggeration that the author tried to backpedal from after this vol. There was also something that they didn't end up doing in anime, which I was thankful for as it was some really cheesy writing.

I agree with Sentenal, you should like what you like and not care if other people don't like it or hate it. Your tastes are your own and you should watch even "bad" stuff because you like it . I think more than once I had to say something like "Well people say it's bad but I like it for these reasons", works well.

Kind of sad to be honest with this episode, I mean next to Mutta's relationship with Hibito, Kenji is his best friend and his closest relationship outside of his brother so it kind of sucks they seem to be stuck being "angry" at each other and seeing the other as enemy. Sure they "should" do it considering the situation but it's awkward for me to see such a nice friendship to change so suddenly. This whole situation should come down to who has the best plan for the building and is the most imposing, the other 2 astronauts make the call of who's plan gets built but it depends heavily on who is the most convincing with his plan. Sigh I feel equally bad for both but I would side with Mutta in this situation, hope they both make it though somehow.


This episode of White album 2 was a bit underwhelming lol, really not what I was expecting.
+ Show Spoiler +
They seem to have gone for the calm before the storm episode, wasn't just me who was seeing Setsuna as a third wheel this entire episode apparently <.<. Now Touma is the passive aggressive one lol, with the way she acts with Haruki now and the things she sort of says. As I knew Haruki is a gigantic pussy and got rolled over by Setsuna so now he's going along with her, seems to me he doesn't really want to be with her but he's an idiot so he can't bring himself to reject Setsuna. Either because he's not terribly sure of his feelings for Touma or he's that big of a pussy, whatever the case it was kind of painful to see Setsuna in the middle of the two the entire episode.

I'm expecting the next episode or the one after that when we go full hurricane emergency episode. It is so painfully obvious that Touma likes Haruki but she's playing tough now because OBVIOUSLY she's thinking she never stood a chance to Setsuna and since she has sort of gotten to like her friends she doesn't want to do something to destroy that friendship. I think it's mostly she's A) Afraid and B) Not terribly sure about her feelings either. Everything about this episode told me "Haruki likes Touma" then she mentions by next year she might get a bf and Haruki had this look of NOWAI on his face followed by Setsuna pretending Haruki didn't totally freak out and that he really doesn't like her <.<. I feel honestly bad for Setsuna. I get the feeling Haruki is going out with her just to be nice... so obviously this should go well later on >.>. Even Chiaki was like wtf why is he dating Setsuna? Seems to me it's obvious he likes Touma and his friends were like STFU you don't want to open that can of worms, but even Io was kind of agreeing with him but she's not as honest as Chiaki.

Also HOLY SHIT am I jealous... fuck MENAGE A TROIS TAIM! IN THE HOT SPRING. Luckiest mother fucker alive wow, he totally saw Touma fully exposed there lol I would have enjoyed that soooooooooooo much . Haruki fucking sucks ugh, dude just fucking do what you want to do instead of what other people expect you to do. I expect his balls to finally drop by the next episode if not NOTHING is going to happen since Touma is just as big of a coward, he'll have babies with Setsuna before he's completely honest with his feelings about Touma if things stay this way.

ya I agree partly with your post. I think this episode was quite major. It confirmed somethings we knew and others we were unsure of. So many hints dropped. It's that obvious to me that + Show Spoiler +
he like Touma with all his reactions. Same with Touma. I felt that Touma was trying to get him to focus on Setsuna because she knew his feelings. I mean, how many times did she tell him to stop before he completed his sentences in the room at the end? Touma talking about her future boyfriend and being aggressive with him after we've seen her being so nice to him when he was over at her place? I think he's dating Setsuna because he can't handle saying no to her but he has feelings for Touma.

Then as you mentioned, the mention by Chiaki about him dating Setsuna and such. You know what I would like? If more guys started talking and I guess hitting on Touma. This episode did a good job of showing that they are still together and Touma was accepting of them dating and such but I think having more guys talk with Touma and I guess flirt would add another dimension to the show. I want to see how Haruki would react to that. Would he just look from the side or involve himself in it? Either way, good episode. I didn't expect the start either, felt out of place since I figured that there would be some fireworks but Touma was so accepting lol. I guess Setsuna was her best friend

ps Haruki got my respect because he tried his best to avoid seeing them naked lol.


Mini angry rant T_T.
+ Show Spoiler +
I don't know if she knows he likes her, I think she's just trying to "fake it till she makes it" type of deal, like "she's your gf you should focus on her not anyone else" she said that repeatedly. I mean if she knew she would have fucking done something in the previous episode... but she didn't and neither did he.. :@!. So I think she's just being a bit crass to deal with this relationship.. but you could be right. I just think if she KNEW she would have done something about it. He's dating Setsuna because he's too much of a pussy to reject her, simple as that <.<. Fucking Haruki, god.

I really doubt they will bring in new characters just to make Haruki jealous, I mean his friends did mention that the people at school started to see Touma differently after the performance but I really doubt it. We barely get any screen time with those 3, I doubt anyone could come at this point and pose a threat or would be used just to provoke jealousy in Haruki. I think things will escalate somehow and we'll see finally Haruki STOP being SUCH A GIANT PUSSY! and be like I really don't like you Setsuna, sorry about that I like Touma deal with it!. But you know in pussy language. Things will have to get REALLY REALLY bad for him to confess to Touma I can already see it, her leaving after the recital to be with her mom, her getting a bf (I REALLY DOUBT THIS, EXTREMELY SO), I think it's more likely that she can't resist any more and wants to confess to him but she doesn't want to be a cunt to Setsuna and decides to leave instead than her getting a bf lol at which point Haruki will man up and do what needs to be done to keep her from leaving.

I can only imagine his reaction if he sees her flirting with some other guy, if he had that little freak out when she mentioned the possibility of another man in her life lol. I think she's too into Haruki to really pay attention to anyone else but she might give it a shot since she's busy pretending to be mature about it. I doubt they are anything, you can SO tell they are pretending, Setsuna with that look to Haruki when he over reacted, Touma's constant crass behavior towards Haruki, Haruki putting on a show for Setsuna while he's still fixated on Touma. Like I said everyone is busy pretending to be okay with the current situation, obviously no one is happy here, like Haruki said before he took a good look at Touma , everyone is trying hard to convince themselves the dreamlike state they had during the festival is still going on. OF ALL the outcomes the previous episode could have this had to be the worst, SO infuriating that they made Haruki into such a pussy, ugh. Though it's just better drama since lies usually just end up hurting people more than honesty and common sense so let's make everyone lie for a while and then let it explode when the truth comes out .

Now I actually feel bad for that stupid Setsuna, I mean it's quite painful to see her get stuck in the middle of these two though it was her own fault, I still feel bad for her. She's kind of nice I suppose but she's no match for Touma at least as far as Haruki is concerned. As you can tell I'm not particularly pleased with this episode, it was important but only to show how irrelevant Setsuna is, I mean sure Touma and Haruki care about her otherwise they would be humping each other BUT it's all fake, they want to be nice to her but I'm sure this will reach a boiling point and she's gonna get majorly screwed. I could really go on and on but I feel like I would repeat myself A LOT. It's just WHYYYYYYYYYY!? Haruki WHY!? Just because somebody kisses you doesn't mean you're married!!. The worst thing is that we have NEVER NOT ONCE, heard a single word from fucking HARUKI! about this mess, he never said Oh yes I like you Setsuna, or No I don't like you Setsuna I like Touma. NO NOT A THING NADA! Instead he just more or less got assimilated by Setsuna lol and started going out with her because she kissed him this is so fucking stupid. I hate these people T_T. It's almost as if Setsuna knows Haruki is TOO nice to just leave her if she got him to go out with her which is kind of evil lol, but honestly at this point this makes more sense than anything else that's going on.

WA2 is set in the same city 10 years later, different characters, they use some songs from WA1. So yeah, you can watch WA2 on its own.

The two shows take place in the same universe but they are not really related, they are basically different shows. White album and its 2 seasons are something completely different. White album 2 mentions 2 pop stars from the first White album but only as a reference of their music and nothing else so you can watch and enjoy White album 2 without worrying about the first white album.
