If I remember correctly, this cast was the first one that was in the web comic that came before the four-panel comic that manga/first anime were based on. I could be wrong, though. (Wikipedia has been known to lie, and I can't read Takatsu Karino's website because Japanese. Takanashi is the protagonist in Working!! "dog" group, the first anime series. Daisuke is the protagonist in Working!! "cat" group, the web-comic and current anime series. iirc the very first seconds of the first episode had Takanashi walking away from the restaurant while Daisuke was on his way towards it. They crossed paths without knowing each other. So I kinda assumed this is all after the fact | ||

what a bunch of incompetent fucktards >announce special edition of spice and wolf >let people pre-order from all around the world including amazon.uk and amazon.de >almost 2 weeks after the books release nobody outside of US has recieved their books and people are rightfully pretty fucking annoyed and angry >now they finally inform us that, yeah, nobody outside the US was ever going to get the book, so if you didn't use amazon US you were fucked from the start WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NOT INFORM PEOPLE OF THIS DURING THE 1½ MONTH FROM ANNOUNCEMENT TO RELEASE? ARE YOU ACTUALLY THAT INCOMPETENT? http://yenpress.com/2016/10/attention-international-spice-and-wolf-fans/ fuck anyone outside the US that wanted to buy a numbered edition i guess | ||

i guess we should be 'grateful' and 'happy' that yen press decided to do another reprint for non-US plebians.... fuck you shit press   If they had just informed me of this from the start i would've sucked up the import fees and shipping and ordered from a US retailer, but i guess adding that single sentence to the original announcement would've required yen press to give a singular fuck about their customers | ||

I still think it should be brought to Amazon since it doesn't make sense to me that you could order a product through the store that could never be shipped to you. Surely that's misrepresenting the product and thievery. | ||

 Finally finished Mobile suit gundam and it was much better than I thought it would be. Both the budget and episode count felt rather small since so many impactful scenes ended up being underwhelming but the story aged well for a late 70's show intended to sell toys. The tone of the show was pretty inconsistent though and the whole newtype thing felt pretty jarring since I never expected gundam to contain something like that but i'm not particularly against it. Favorite parts were + Show Spoiler [MSG spoilers] + the arc where Amuro fought Ramba Ral and the last 3 episodes. I thought Ramba Ral was just a throwaway villain at first but he ended up being one of my favorite characters. The last 3 episodes were simply great, I have nothing else to add there. I'll be checking out the rest of UC gundam soon and see where I'll go from there on, Might also watch some AU gundam if they're really nessecary to fully appreciate Turn A Gundam. | ||

I was planning on watching some of the UC sidestories (8th MS team, War in the pocket and Thunderbolt) before moving on to Zeta. In other series I have a hard time caring about sidestories if I'm too far ahead of their main timeline so it's now or never for those 3. | ||

I think Numy is right and Amazon should be informed about this. It's pretty much the only way it would backlash at Yen Press. I wouldn't know if they cared enough though. I thought amazon's customer support was pretty terrible. | ||

the organization behind all that That being said, it's not one of those shows that I enjoy immensely like OmagawdINeedToSeeNextEPNAO and in fact the episodes so far do feel a bit long for me. But I do enjoy it for some reason. I think Fune wo Amu and Soushin Shoujo Matoi are the only things on my plan-to-watch that I haven't checked out yet this season. Anyone given them a try yet? Other than that I really don't get why we had the hate on the season lately. There aren't any outstanding shows aside from girlish number but there's generally a lot I can at least enjoy so I'm quite happy with this so far. | ||

I feel the same about FlipFlappers (I posted about ep2 as well). This season doesn't have a show I'm really waiting for each week so far. Is Girlish Number saving the season the same way New Game was AotS last season, Toad? I'll go ahead and quote myself here on Fune wo Amu. On October 14 2016 19:49 Miragee wrote: The first episode of Fune wo Amu was surprisingly good. Sure, they over-emphasize the uniqueness of dictionaries imho and it comes over as a bit pretentious but I enjoy the poetic parts regardless. What really strikes me though is the animation. There is a lot of detail in it regarding expressions, all day occurrences etc. For example when they showed the woman that moved past Araki on the staircase. Her reactions seemed so natural yet intruiging. As for the season, it's not bad. It's just as weak as the entirety of 2016. The only really bad season this year was summer though. | ||

New Game! is a cute-girls-doing-cute-things show whereas Girlish Number is more about the cynism involved and everyones take on the industry (although, it has cute girls involved)... I think people describing it as a mix between Shirobako and OreGairu is pretty on point so far. Bear in mind it's only 1 ep in so far and I'm not really a fan of the idol parts that it will probably get. On Fune wo Amu, I guess I'll give that a try at least. Shoushin Shoujo will probably stay in my Download folder until about week 4-5 of the season when I finally give up on watching ep1 of it | ||

Also, apparently Fune wo Amu is by the same author as Rakugo. | ||
