I think its just on the app versus the browser at least in my quick comparison of the two over wi-fi for episodes 4-7.
I fell behind on backlog season last week because I was in a pretty down mood. I didn't really want to watch anime. I'll try to get all caught up by the end of the week, especially since stuff is ending now.
Wandering Son 11
Obligatory mention of consistent high quality of the show.
There were a number of great moments in this episode, but the highlight has to be the flashback to Yuki and Shiina's story. I like how it fits into Takatsuki and Nitori's visit, and I also like the way they create parallels with Nitori's current situation. There's the obvious one at the beginning, but there's another thing about the flashback that I found interesting.
Here's how the flashback is introduced, coming off the commercial break. We've seen scenes like this before; it's a kind of confessional for the characters to talk to the viewer. They speak to the camera, they tell us what they're thinking. We trust the authenticity of these moments. They're incredibly intimate.
When Nitori remembers Yuki's story, we learn where it was actually told.
This does a lot of interesting things. It points out the artifice of the classroom confessional, for one. But I think there's also a lot of significance to the shot choice. The characters are close together, but we first see this from a distance. Yuki's story is something very intimate and personal for her (and for us), but Nitori still feels removed from it. So many people are telling him what they think, what they experienced, and what they want from him, when he's still struggling to figure out what he really wants for himself. In these subtle ways, the direction articulates the feelings of Nitori's internal monologue. It's craft like this that make the show so good at fairly presenting all its characters.
I'm looking forward to watching the finale tomorrow.

Like with this long shot, the show gave me some sympathy for Doi and his immature confusion, when I was ready to kick him in the shins minutes before.
I'm looking forward to watching the finale tomorrow.
So, since I outed myself on the gaming side (and a while ago on IRC), I figure I should do it here as well... if only because my two co-hosts aren't GAF members and they probably would like (any!) listeners. lol
I do an anime podcast that was supposed to a community thing for Anime Vice. But since Whiskey Media exploded, we mostly do it for our own edification (and to shoot the shit). I hate my own voice, and looking at how each episode is like 2+ hours long, I assume they're kind of rambling, but if you want to hear yet another uninformed podcast about Japanimation (and here me butcher Japanese names), here's you go:
The Bravo Whiskey podcast

Apparently my mind broke on episode 1 when I had to talk about SAO, so if you want to hear me lose my mind, that's where it happens.
what ever happened to Gia and John?
RIP duckroll.

Should have dropped it when you still could.
Well, I like the Brazilian logo, so that's something.

Amagami SS Tsukasa Ayatsuji Arc + OVA
Really surprised where the story went with this arc. Tsukasa surprised me as a character. I thought she was going to be a perfectionist but turns out she has her flaws. The story was good and liked the ending.
Really not a fan of OVA #1 but OVA #2 was cool. Miya is a pretty good character once they got rid of the meat bun act.

So Egoraptor says Gainax has gotten a lot better. Who am I supposed to believe now!?
His basis for his argument is a six-year-old anime, LOL.

Stay strong Natsume!
Yuno x Miyako always look so damn good together.

Gia is now a community manager at Funimation (which is funny given what happens to games journalists). No idea what happened to John though.
RIP Yoshida.
I actually don't know. lol
The person who edits the show does all the post-production on it.
Damn it.
Windy Tales and Wandering Son (and Mouryou) will live on in the next thread through me.
For me, every season is backlog season.

Anything more I should check from old Gainax? I think Honnêamise since they are going to make the sequel.

Considering he's one of those "non-anime watchers" he was talking about, I don't think you should give it much thought.

What's next season?
CG x OreImo season.
Nothing, anime is dead.
Re: Cutie Honey; just forgive the shitty second episode.

If we BELIEVE hard enough, maybe it won't suck!
GOTTA BELIEVE!
No amount of faith can save it at this point I fear.
We just gotta hug Toei's staff hard enough.

At the very least, I get why they had to push these episodes back so far.
