If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Gate continues to be meh. Those boob window dresses though... Why would you design something like that? It doesn't even look good.

I don't generally like flashbacks but Gangsta is pulling it off quite well. I am really enjoying these flashbacks and can't wait to see more.

Flashbacks are in like 90% of Animes. They are a convenient way for an author to stretch out their content, which by the way Manga is structured is something nearly all Manga authors strive for. When you are out of clever ways to push the plot forward you can just do a flashback episode to build a character up. Constant flashbacks are annoying but it is certainly not uncommon.

I'm actually enjoying Kuusen Madoushi, episode 6 was pretty OK. On the other hand, Himouto Umaru Chan episode 6 once again just made me feel sorry for the brother. Such an annoying beast.

ROFL I love this Gintama episode.

I love Zura, but it seems like any time the Shogun makes an appearance, it's just gold.

I really like the Kazuno vs God of War fight in Horizon, it's spread out a bit though.

I don't know. It's too much for me. They are constantly breaking the flow of the present plot.

The over-abundancy of flashbacks is one of the sins of this medium imho. It's a terrible way to tell a story most of the times. It's just a convinient way for the author to flesh out characters without having to put in the effort to integrate it into the main story line. If it's used sparingly and for the right things (e.g. psychological aspects of characters) it's fine but telling a whole backround story by throwing in flashbacks every few minutes it completly breaks the flow. It feels like really rugged instead of monolithic - which is, at least for me, annoying.

Doesn't really break the flow at all. I like it because they make it flow very well.

I agree with you. Anime often seems to centralize their focus on characters more so than other mediums and the easiest way to build character backstory is through flashbacks. I agree that the characters personalities should shed light on their past and be the driving force of their actions in the main plot line instead of flashbacks. Sometimes flashbacks can be good, but you are right, some Animes have the obligatory 1-2 episodes flashback for each character showing their backstory and it is rather lazy.

Flashbacks are like clothes: you should only have enough to cover the important parts.

not that I'm playing it but from what I've heard about it, just like boats it's all in japanese.
Unlike boats though, the game itself doesn't seem to be all that good and it's just about reading text/story according to people? So if you can't read it, really not all that much point in playing.

[01:22:14] <ecael> lol nagi wasting time
[01:22:35] <Elementaryschool> the game isnt worth it w/o reading nagi
[01:22:43] <nagisama> it isn't?
[01:22:44] <nagisama> wow
[01:22:47] <ecael> well
[01:22:50] <Elementaryschool> its pretty mediocre.
[01:22:52] <ecael> seiyuus don't get enough lines
[01:22:52] <nagisama> you're saying there's an actual story?
[01:22:56] <Elementaryschool> yes.
[01:22:58] <nagisama> thought it was just a waifu game...
[01:22:59] <ecael> and the game itself isn't anything special
[01:24:02] <WreakHavoc> yeah i gave up on the game relatively quickly ...

[02:29:33] <ecael> i believe in him to do the smart thing, which is to not bother and just wait for pics and videos
[02:29:37] <ecael> since he can't read anyway
<Elem> >toad in charge of judging lewdness <Elem> how bad can it be <Elem> also wew, that is actually p lewd.
