  You don’t have to like it, but that doesn’t mean you should be a dick about it.

  I agree for the most part, although it could be noted that not all of these air at 3 AM.

It’s not something that would air at prime time, but it could have gotten a Sunday late afternoon/early evening slot. Or at least HanaIro’s time slot.

  Well of course Japan gets anime. It’s Japan. But yeah, I do agree with you on how shitty our country is that we don’t even air teen/adult anime anymore.

While employed those “baby boomers” contributed up to ¥180,000/year, but this year 7 million Japanese turn 65 and will start receiving a ¥792,100/year pension. And between 2012 to 2017, total nursing care costs are expected to triple from ¥8trillion to ¥24 trillion.. But instead of blaming boomers who are extracting far more than they put in, politicians point their …

  Spoilers . . . . . . In the novels, Kotori’s power was given to by that mysterious guy that Shidou noticed in video. Shidou knows there should be someone there but could not tell who since his and Kotori’s memories were tampered with in addition to the video footage. In terms of Shidou’s power, the novels has not gotten there yet but it had give hints that his real missing biological mother and possibly father have something to do with it. Kurumi’s arc is actually not over yet since she has a …

  Just this season there are several MC’s that “Died” in the first arc, it IS a generic plot point. it’s a tweest when they stay dead, like in Ga Rei Zero who killed off a whole cast IIRC.
