Hmm hm episode 04. Now that this hit the fan, maybe I should release that manga chapter after all...
But Riko was no surprise for the obvious reason, but I guess I never got my wish of seeing a booby holster
the lack of Shirayuki is understandable but displeasing, and someone refresh my mind, but were there windows in the cocktail bar of the airplane? Surely Aria's and Riko's stray bullets must have hit more than a few wine glasses
But really Riko, you hate your name? Wait till I tell you my name
(though I've learned to live with it and it's been a goal of mine similar to Riko's: I want people to see it as not who it was for, but what it did.)

I mentioned that earlier too. It kind of left some viewers speculating heavily because they never really showed why Kinji wants to quit being a Butei until now. But I noticed something, you know. This series is Hidan No Aria, and as fragmented as the Anime has been [compared to its written counterparts], they conveniently didn't show Aria's reason for intruding into Kinji's life until now as well. It's that thing I mentioned for last ep, both characters had their realizations at the same time.
Regardless if this is what the scriptwriters wanted, it still woulnd't have hurt to show some of the crucial bits they left out.

(cause it was deleted before i could look at the thread again.) but hey, it was pretty dang obvious. who else had access to his room that we saw aside from Aria? no one else but Riko.

Heh, join the club. No matter how many hints I throw out, my words aren't deciphered 99% of the time
But from an Anime viewers' standpoint, it was actually
not obvious it was Riko playing clockstopper. Visually, only 2 other girl's painted Kinji's apartment, so I still stand by what the manga showed us, which I had thought it was a close enough blueprint for them to use, but not so.

I'd pay gladly
But, last time enjoyed that in Anime form was School Rumble Second Term, but that was a bit more of a comical version

What? You'd slice the cute deadly girl? I wouldn't! Even if Riko had her guns aimed at my balls, I could never stain that cute loli version uniform of hers with her own blood, I just can't!
So, have a few animated gif avatars, not the full set but it's a start.
Though, I'm thinking just fulfilling requests is more time manageable than throwing out random ones, my gif making process isn't basic as it looks
Spoiler for no excuses explanation:
I treat gif making the same way a movie director edits his films: I make sure it looks good, and makes sense. I may sound like the same complicated guy who views Anime the same way, but it's simple: as you can see in the Equilibrium and butterfly knife gifs, those scenes normally don't fit the 100x100 box. What I do is frame placement editing, making sure a scene fits within the 100 square pixels, and I make sure it looks good. Something gif makers need to keep in mind while editing, is that gifs are an animation, and when I shrink a 25 frame animation into 17, I strive to trick a viewers mind into creating the missed frames themselves. Not only does it help with size, but that's what Anime actually does: they're only made up of several frames, heavily relying on the viewer to construct the sequence from the activity they see.
It may not make sense, but just look at the butterfly knife gif. It clearly was originally a widescreen action sequence, but I fit it accordingly into the 100x100 avatar size without skewing the image. That's my editing process, my movie style director editing, and with a border it becomes a 15 minute gif. 4 of those is an hour
generally I refer to it as a genius' curse, I never could see things simply.
damnit I've had it with my shitty wireless carrier. My post looks like a freaking comment system.
