That'd be pretty scary if the ahoge was supposed to be her, even for a mini it might end up less funny and more traumatizing.

Like there is no way to later say "oh year she did that for good reasons". She is either crazy, stupid, or just a terrible person. Linda is a red herring. There is nothing between them but friendship (albeit somewhat awkward one). Banri loves Koko and Linda just wants to help him move on with his life (with some underlying sense of guilt/responsibility for what happened. She doesn't actually love Banri right now its possible she once did but not now (if she did you can add regret to her underlying feelings). I don't believe she is thinking about Banri in a romantic sense at all and hasn't for a long time. Also Banri is the weakest character in the series by a mile. Jesus the dude is such a mess. + Show Spoiler +my view was that koko discovered the meds and thought that he doesn't trust her and that there's no point in continuing the relationship. That and the video that she likely saw from okamera contributed to her decision. I can't really blame her tbh. I can understand Banri not wanting to tell her but considering he was just talking to her the day before and has been trying to be open with her, it was a bad idea to hide the meds. Well, Linda asked if they can go back to the past because she loved him then. I guess it's unknown if she loves him now but at the min, I agree that she wants to help him move on which is why she couldn't accept him accepting koko dumping him. Well, I think him being a mess is exactly what the series needed. Imagine if he was all stable and such, won't get much drama with that. I guess they can tone it down a notch but I liked today's episode more so than most of the previous ones especially because things are now out in the open and it's getting interesting to see how he gets back with koko. + Show Spoiler +That really doesn't justify the manner that she broke it off with him. She knows that he is having a lot of emotional and mental problems and how she handled it was downright horrible. Then the next day how she acted....She KNOWS that he is in a very confusing place mentally and she pulls that? Like I said she is either stupid, crazy, or a bad person. Left him in a very poor manner at a moment where he is at his lowest. The meds and the video showed how shitty his mental state is, she even specifically asked her dad about it. She has all the knowledge to know exactly what is happening. So either she dumped him to save herself the heartbreak (she also fears Banri will "disappear" and forget her) or its some convoluted plan to try to help him overcome everything. Its dumb and handled in a piss poor manner and I really don't see a satisfying way to reconcile how she handled the last 2 days with it being all good. Of course they will end up together but it will only because Banri's personality is extremely forgiving and submissive
Edit: Linda when talking about the past emphasized redoing things and I took that to specifically be in reference to preventing his injury (also maybe some regret, but regret that she has long since reconciled). Basically when I say she is a red herring I mean that ever since they met again, she has not ever thought about trying to date him. People like to say team koko or team linda w/e but she never even considered being in the game in the first place. + Show Spoiler [golden time LN] +don't worry the end situation looked like it ended up being a copy paste of Toradora's ending lololol
pls Yuyuko you've been writing for a while now, must you recycle everything

Ya i dont get why Sent is obsessed with HG lol Just get MG if you really like it, i mean some HGs are simply some 'lazy' products. Oddly enough the actual model of Miss Sazabi reminds me of OZ Tallgeese lol. The concept art looks nice though.
How many hundreds of HG do you have by now, time to take a big family pic to show them off?

The idea of a Sazabi merged with Nobel Gundam (which is what it is) sounded good, but now that plenty of shots of its 1/144 Gunpla are out, I can say I'm not really feeling this gunpla. The in-show art for it looks alright, but the proportions on the actual model are off just enough to annoy me. Here is the anime art for Miss Sazabi, also note that this contains anime spoilers: + Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/g7c9KhX.jpg) It looks okay. Like a thinner Sazabi with Aila's colors. Will probably look good in animation, or at least I hope it does. Now here are shots of the actual Gunpla: + Show Spoiler +The actual 1/144 HGBF looks a lot fatter, but at least we know a lot more about its abilities and gimmicks now. It will have funnels, and stores them in its ass (sorta) (hahahaha). Will have the Infinite Justice's beam saber feet, as well as leg thrusters for rocket kicks. The gimmicks are fine, but its proportions are just... Ugh. Amusingly, its going to be pretty hard for me to think of Miss Sazabi as being feminine at all now, considering this size comparison: + Show Spoiler + Really liking the artwork of the Miss Sazabi. Really not liking the actual Gunpla. Like you said, the proportions are off. It is a lot beefier and some of the angles on the suit don't match up with the artwork. Not a fan of the beam saber feet either, it's a silly concept (although, it probably would work well with the leg thrusters). Looking forward to seeing this one animated in the show, although, it shitting out funnels might be a bit disturbing.
I think that KLK just tied up its 3rd Act and is going into the final one. Which is good, because the nature of the anime makes it just a bit weak at character development (when there's so much crazy going on), but very strong at one upping and doing crazy shit. So I expect the last few episodes to just build up on the over-the-top action.

I'd say I prefer MG:s, a single large/more detailed one feels more "impressive" than the ~3 HG:s you'd get for roughly the same price/space/buildtime. If it's not available as MG, though... HG:s are great because of the greater selection.
Meanwhile I'm considering getting my first scale, only had figmas (and Gil chogokin) before. Though of course, the ones that interest me are wallet rape. How surprising.

You got Signum?? I was looking at that but one makes Kazuno looks economical. Damn Alter

Strike the blood managing to make me drop the score on a weekly basis now  I don't think I'll end up rating it 4 though, that'd be the same as + Show Spoiler +Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - 4 Shakugan no Shana III (Final) - 4 Date A Live - 4 Seitokai Yakuindomo - 4 (interestingly enough I have season 2 as a 5 right now, must be because more Uomi) Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Next - 3 School Days - 2
That'd be too cruel or I'd have to drop all of those down by one. Unless of course Strike the Blood manages to pull an Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova. Just thinking about Himeragi surfing on one of his familiars, probably the snake-ones, while shouting "no Senpai, this is OUR fight" makes me cringe so hard.
Now to force myself through Chuunibyou

Living in europe sucks donkeyballs as a gunpla fan. I miss the brick and mortar model/figure shops in asia, that you can just bring the model back home after you paid, and the prices are usually similar or even cheaper than online shop when they are on sales (online store shipping fee rapes). To me, i only buy gunpla when i love the backstory of it and it has some really good design - the samurai gundam in UC is probably the only gunpla i'd buy from all the recent gundam animes. Need to save my gold for the MHs i love from five star story.

I find it absolutely baffling that you would rate something a 4 and the proceed to watch season 2. Then again...

Not actually the first thing but probably within the first 10 series I watched, you know the time when you refused to drop stuff. Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai was preparation for School Days  As for Seitokaiwhatever.. I don't have a lot of stuff I watch this season so I'm a bit more liberal on the stuff I'm watching in that regard I guess and let's be honest, it fits the stuff I usually enjoy, it just isn't all that good. So being bad get's a little bit balanced by fitting genre-wise.

I might actually but I'd rather not, depends on how much good stuff I find next season (pleeeease don't suck Mekaku City Actors). I dropped season 1 exactly the episode before the only good girl appeared (the clock-girl) and only finished it somewhat recently, also in preparations of forcing myself through School Days. So all the parts I'm remembering about that show are the parts that made me rate it higher than I innitially wanted to.

Speaking of Shana, a bit of Rie every now and then is kind of nice.
|
Rie will be in NGNL, though only a bit, so it will be nice.
|
They just couldn't resist doing a double transformation scene in KLK. Its a really fun show to watch.
|
Hey Toad, worst case scenario (and I mean WORST case scenario), we can watch Date a Live 2 next season if we cant find anything else suitable.
Dat Kurumi, baby... aww yesss. Dat Houki-clone, awww yessss.

Rie is great, Chronoir in WCW and Koto last season for example.
TsundeRie isn't though.
