Thanks for watching and enjoying this show with me each week, everyone!

(And indeed, Goro is more accurately a magical man. Wink )

Would really appreciate if you guys can choose less spoilery thumbnails for these if you're going to post them a day after the episode goes up. Not everyone gets a chance to watch them as they air.

When don't read it. Wait until you watched the show, then go back to the review later.

I didn't read it, I specifically said thumbnail which shows up on the front page of ANN. I appreciate that they changed it.

I honestly don't see how the original thumbnail image was spoilery. Without any sort of context, it shouldn't have revealed anything.

Well, if you saw 11 eps and didn't see 12 yet. The old thumbnail for this review basically shows you that spoiler[everyone gets a magical upgrade, including the conquest club.] I agree that thumbnail was very much a spoiler.

I suppose, but for all someone who hasn't seen the episode knows, that image could have been featured in a fantasy or dream sequence. We probably have different definitions of what constitutes a spoiler.

I will admit, what is considered spoiler is subjective. I saw it and it gave away the episode for me so I said something. I appreciate that they actually changed it so soon.

I also agree it's very subjective. Though I saw the episode before I came to ANN, I still thought it might be a spoilery thumbnail. Perhaps it also depends on the type of show. Most shows I watch I barely have to worry about spoiler thumbnail. Since the reviewers have seen the episode, they can determine which thumbnail would be more neutral (I'm not saying they absolutely have to though). A review of Death Parade had a thumbnail for episode 6 on the home page when I hadn't seen it yet. Obviously, it was a thumbnail depicting the game for that episode. Even the preview didn't reveal it then. Couldn't understand why the reviewer did that. It totally ruined the surprise then. Sad

Still nice that the reviewer changed the thumbnail so quickly.

South Park used the alien reality TV show twist in 2003: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0705900/

I'll miss this weekly descent into shameless silliness. Love is seriously over!

Yeah, that South Park episode was the first thing that came to mind after the big reveal.

Anime of the season. Well, not really but this one was consistently enjoyable and the jokes were excellent. Great voice cast, humour and colours! Best boys: Yufuin and Hakone!

My main issue was that half of an episode would be dull but the remaining parts would be hella funny. There were only two (or three) episodes that were funny throughout the entire episode.

I'm looking forward to the insert song single release!

Goodbye, More Better Lovers! Love is...seriously...over!

The last episode was better than a majority of the series in how it parodied the genre enough with all the twists to keep it interesting. Must say that it had me laugh multiple times as they jumped between the final episode tropes, and despite that did not feel rushed.
