Picked up A Little Lily Princess (the new Hanako Games -the Long Live The Queen folks- VN)on Steam. About an hour in, it's all right. Sort of like a cuter and significantly less-lethal Long Live The Queen. Still mostly setup so far, though.

I will probably not be continuing tonight, because OVERWATCH, MAAAAAAAAAAAAN

I don't know what the real life yuri faction is, but I for one will assist all pursuers of yuri until the end of time.

anyway this was a good game, i recommend playing it if you can give it time to get past the terrible first hour of bad combat because the rest is really fun and good

What game is this?

Got my first ending in A Little Lily Princess. Was cute and good. Steam needs more sappy Yuri VNs.

Goon hivemind, make my anime decisions for me. I've stalled out on the last few episodes of K-ON and I've been meaning to move on to Euphonium on my little tour of KyoAni's works. Is it worth pushing through the fatigue and finishing K-On, or shall I just move on?

Spiritus Nox
Sep 2, 2011

Think I'll at least start Euphonium tonight and finish K-On another time. My OCD disagrees with it, and I liked K-On, but I've gotten antsy for a new show and Euphonium sounds like it's pretty nice.

Spiritus Nox

Just started Euphonium. 2 minutes in and oh man this is the band-nerdiest anime already and I was a massive band nerd at these characters' age this is going to push SO MANY BUTTONS isn't it?

Also, one of these days I'm going to stop being impressed with how pretty Kyoani shows are. Those opening shots under the cherry blossoms are just ridiculous.

Okay, if this ED is going to go so far as to give Kumiko and Reina the whole 'red string of fate' treatment they'd better loving kiss at some point\

I get that you were maintaining plausible deniability in K-On, Kyoani, but that poo poo stops flying when you go this far

Kumiko considers playing Saxophone, winds up on Euphonium. Clearly, she is the most condemned of souls, to meet such a bitter fate.

2 episodes into Euph. Mostly just setup so far, but it's nice setup. Goddamn gorgeous, up there with Hyouka.I like the OP and ED a lot.

Euphonium is really good, and I'm not sure that whoever wrote Reina didn't just follow me around for a while during high school and make a few minor edits, because goddamn I see so much of what I like/dislike about myself from that point in my life in her.

8 episodes into my fourth KyoAni show, and I still can't stop admiring how ridiculously loving pretty Euphonium is. That's a good drat animation team right there.

I wish it wasn't a student/teacher thing, but Sonou and Kiri are both cool so it's fine.

Ehh, that dynamic just brought the whole thing down for me. Didn't help that they were so predictable in how they tried to make it okay, what with the whole "nonono you don't understand the teacher is super short and literally just got out of college and the student is super tall and a senior there totally aren't still any uncomfortable power dynamics going on here," and it just felt kind of weak.

Main Couple made it all okay though. Criminal how little art there is of them.

So I'm probably going to finish the K-On anime tonight, because that sounds like a good way to stall moving on from Euphonium episode 8 and inevitably being disappointed that it never gets that Yuri again.

Also because K-On is good and I ought to finish it.

Spiritus Nox
Sep 2, 2011

Done with K-On. Well, the show, anyway. Still got the extra episodes and the movie to finish off, but that's another night.

I struggle to think of another show that's simultaneously as unambitious and as excellent as this one is. Pure fluff, but, what fluff it is.

Idle curiosity - is the movie more cute and funny like early/mid K-on or more sweet and nostalgic like late K-on?

So I'm halfway through the 2nd bonus episode of K-On. Why is everyone mad at Ritsu for putting her hand on Yui's shoulder during the class picture?

Aside from the obvious fact that this was cheating on Mio, of course.

I got bored watching E3 so I'm going to watch the K-ON movie instead.

Although, I don't see what World War 1 is giving them yet that they couldn't get more easily by going back to the future goddammit EA why do you keep pretending that Battlefield 2142 never happened?

Third best.

Also, so is the animation in this movie. KyoAni should make more movies.

Also, the lighting has been really good so far in this movie. I think that might be the most consistent strong point I've seen since I've started watching KyoAni stuff. It was one of my favorite things about Disappearance of Haruhi, too.

While we're on the subject of KyoAni parents - I forget, does Yuki ever give a cover story for why she apparently has no family in Haruhi? Especially once you take Disappearance into account and she technically SHOULD have family.
