Love You!

Love You! Get to post another one of these images!

There was some goddamn A+ tier voice work by Otome this episode. By the way, you might notice some inconsistencies in this episode, specifically the fact that Otome was retconned into calling everyone with the “tan” suffix (she only started that after a while, check the 1-50 batch post for the exact episode). Also, I only noticed that Makoto is voiced by a certain Miki Shinichirou this episode. If you don’t recognize him by name (I sure don’t), then perhaps you should ask yourself if this episode was entirely a lie, and if something can’t surpass the original just because it’s a fake. Interesting info for next episode after the break.

Gokukoku no Brynhildr – 07

…

Lots of new proper nouns this episode.

Grani is some horse in Norse mythology somewhat connected to Brynhildr. It’s pronounced in such a way as to suggest that it should be “Grane”, but we spelled it “Grani” to be consistent with “Brynhildr” (the Brynhildr in the title is closer to Brunhilde — you either use Brynhildr/Grani or Brunhilde/Grane).

Kojo no Tsuki (荒城の月) means “Moon over the Ruined Castle” and is a song from like, a long time ago. It’d be like an American singing Camptown Races at karaoke.

Aikatsu BD News

So, as some of you may have heard, they finally decided to release BDs for Aikatsu S1! They’re selling them as two boxes costing ¥28,944 each (around 285$ currently) and will feature 4 discs per box for all 50 episodes of S1 in total. They’ll be coming out on the 5th November 2014 and 3rd February 2015. I’d totally go ahead and preorder them right now, but I’m so broke I can’t even pay for my server next month.

Anyway, there’s more! A really nice someone (again, thanks a lot!) uploaded the first S2 BDMV and will continue with atleast the second volume, so we’ll make sure BD releases will happen eventually in the near future! I hope you’re all ready for some glorious high quality performances.

Also, I hope 82 will be done within the next 24 hours. Ai katsu!

Delays or something

I didn’t really want to spend the colossal effort it takes to make a post about the delay, but I guess we’ve established a precedent of announcing Brynhildr delays… sigh…

Thirty More than thirty hours from now or so, probably.

I guess everyone's just minding there own business. (This show doesn't have very many good release pictures)

In BUMP OF CHICKEN’s song 天体観測 (also the title of this episode), the singer sings about how in his obsession with looking at the stars, he overlooks the girl on Earth next to him. I guess this is kinda like that.

Also, about star magnitudes. Apparently stars are sometimes categorized by their brightness into categories with numbers. It’s a log scale, though, so it’s not like Vega is cheating to be magnitude zero. In fact, the scale they’re probably using is calibrated using Vega to be zero.

Looks like Tsugumi and Chami Michiru and Coco have some competition in the shoulder pet category

Thank you, Sakura, for another impossible to translate pun. I hope none of you are linguists. Also, enjoy your parallels between the fifth episode of this cour and the fifth episode of the first season.

Apparently this is the same ocean as the Lucy-washing-up ocean.

Apparently this is the same ocean as one Lucy washed up on.

We’re using HS video for this one (because I’m bad at encoder poking), so it’s censored (and no, we don’t have plans to release it uncensored, mostly because of my encoder-poking skills).

I don’t remember if there was anything to talk about, but that’s not surprising, since I can’t remember anything at all right now. Though I guess there was an unnecessarily long discussion about whether Kazumi’s last name should be Schlieren-Sauer or Schlierenzauer.
