I just pronounce an extra "es" at the end and it at least sounds distinct.

Also, I repeat that you guys should be watching Jinrui wa Suitaishimashita. So far we've had two two-episode arcs, with the fifth and sixth looking to follow suit. It's about fiction and how you can't trust The Man to do anything right. Sorta. It's also about horrible little fairy people. I think they're like how hobbits were supposed to represent the British in WWII, and so were weak, lazy, and unremarkable except for a spot of bravery, except they represent the developed world in the twenty-first century, so they're weak, lazy, gifted with unimaginable power, and don't care about anyone but themselves except as something amusing or pitiable. Or something like that, maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Oh, and pretty colors.

Sword Art Online has been pretty good.

Weird how the censored content wouldn't be as fanservice-y as what content normally does get cut but whatever.

Just random drunk thoughts, but Uta Koi has the best opening of all the shows I'm watching, Yuru Yuri note note has nice animation on its double-takes and face-faults, and Humanity has Declined just spent two episodes developing a single English pun.
