What the HELL Did I Just Watch!?
Please Tell Me Galko-Chan! has been getting some positive buzz, so I decided to give it a whirl.
The series is a slice of life show revolving around three young ladies, who, in their own way, are...different. From left to right: We have Galko the EPONYMOUS ringleader of our group of misfits. She suffers from acute Steatopygia, Macromastia, and blonde hair. These tragic deformities have resulted in her having a completely unearned reputation as a...party girl. She is quite good at reading prose. To the right of her is Oujo, a young lady from a rich family with pitch perfect etiquette and an immaculate uniform, who suffers from the tragic handicap of being an airhead. Finally there is Outo, whose disabilities include myopia, frumpiness and being a smart ass.
Over the course of the first 7 and a half minute episode they discuss such deep philosophical topics as nipples, pubic hair and poop...both spicy and sweetened.
So it's kind of like Katawa Shoujo meets Beavis and Butthead..but without the angst or the music videos.
What the hell Japan?!

All You Had to Do Was Say That They Were Cosplayers
Because Frankly, this picture does not look at all incongruous.
Yes, Gate is over. It will be missed.
The series was overall, quite entertaining despite having had an uneven run, which suffered additionally from being a bit rushed, especially towards the end.
However, when one's biggest complaint about a show is that one wished one could have seen more, it could be a clue that he show's not bad. Overall GATE, was, most of the time, a thoroughly entertaining show and most importantly, it ended on a quite satisfying note.

And Then Suddenly The Show Inadvertently Stumbled Upon its Long Lost Plot
Episode 12 of Phantom World begins with an explanation of the legalities that make folktale fanfic the safest fanfic...
....which cleverly ensured that no one was expecting this week's villain to be Carmen SanDiego.
"Yeah, that's her, but she never mentioned anything about geography."
The seemingly inconsequential stretch of recent episodes actually provided a good bit of background that made this story more impactful. Besides important insights into the protagonist's backstories those installments offhandedly introduced some background characters who make this episode somewhat more impactful.
This tale is a lot darker than the previous ones and the story is (rather belatedly) really starting to move. Whether it will live up to its considerable early potential is unclear, but next week's episode certainly bears watching. Things certainly have gotten serious for our heroes.
Mai oh my!
One thing that I have begun to wonder, although Haruhiko is the narrator, I do wonder if Mai is actually the protagonist.

Concerns Appear Unwarranted
So this animation apparently showed up on the Kyoto Animation webpage recently. I gather that the translation of the text at the end "Thank you for everything!" caused some...speculation.
Obviously, the cutest suicide note ever.
A quick perusal of their site indicated no resumes being posted, and there is nothing on the news about the company's demise...What there is is a news blurb halfway down the page and if one clicks on it it is illustrated with the above animation and a "Thank You!" for the fact that they've reached 50,000 hits on Twitter.
Thing is...I didn't need to sit there with a dictionary or ponder the screen for several minutes. I was able to figure this out with 20 seconds of web searching and 4 seconds of Google translate.
So "unwarranted" is rather an understatement.

Yes, I Do Believe This Works
Language warning due to repeated use of that most versatile of words.

FINALLY! A Post That Write's Itself!
Phantom World Episode 9 continues the writer's habit of breaking the fourth wall....
Thank you for clarifying that.
So...their roots were in improvisational theatre?
The bear?
The bear is there.

Gate Episode 22
Steven and I have not always agreed on this series, in part because he's comparing it to the original books, whereas I'm just enjoying it as it comes out...but we are in total concurrence on this weeks episode.
He sums it up nicely here.
The episode's portrayal of Leili in particular is malapropos.
Remember, this young mage speaks multiple languages, turned the tide in a battle against a dragon and can use chopsticks.
She's not going to stand there passively...twice...to provide a damsel in distress to the local ecosystem.
Worse, we didn't even get to see her dissertation on her Middle Earth Sorcery as combined with the High School chemistry book the earthlings provided her with.
" I was cheated."
