I sort of dropped "Petit Idolm@ster" due to the insufferable 3-minute format and lack of easy watching options, but someone started uploading 10-episode batches to Youtube with OP/ED stripped away on the boundaries. That helped enormously, so I watched all 64 micro-episodes.
The anime makes the best use …
read moreSince the Lagrange crashed and burned, I poked at a few other things.
GJ-bu was in official suspension since ep.3, when my only note was "fuck the androphobia". In reality I dragged it for 6 more, until it gradually petered out. Here's what Nova wrote:

One thing bothers me in Initial D slightly: when the characters unpark to get moving, they always take the car off the parking brake first.
But isn't it backwards? One uses parking brake when there's a possibility of a rollaway to begin with. But if so, why defeat the safety …

When Perkins says, "koko ni pro ga futari iru. sore de juubun janaika?"[1], isn't it the coolest line ever?
Although I have the rotating media, I rewatch the download (I've got the one that had all the blood edited out). It's still as pretty as ever.
Also VLC deals …
