The 2014 showing wasn't a rousing success. We have a semi-pro car racer in the group, who said that Initial D 06 was very true technically, but "too serious for a cartoon". Sunred 01 didn't get a chance to unfold (same as at Ani-nouto, basically). Surprisingly, however, Gurren-Lagann 22 "This Is My Last Duty" went down quite well. Even the guy who loudly and incessantly talked on unrelated topics was unable to ruin it.

At the end, audience requested boobies, which put me in a difficult spot: I did not pre-load any fanservice shows. I selected AKB0048 10, the paradise vacation episode, as the closest substitude available, and something good happened. I always hated that episode for using Makoto as laughing stock, and skipped or fast-forwarded most of it. My favourite is S2 04, the general election episode. It has a post-credit sequence, where -- sorry, spoilers -- Nagisa declares to Chieri that she's going to be a formidable opponent. She uses "kyouteki" (naturally spelled as "強敵", "strong" + "enemy"). What I didn't realize, she referred to the same line Chieri used in the 10, on the account of Nagisa making kirara sparkle. Back then, it looked like Nagisa was winning, but the tables were turned now. Man alive, how wonderful it is?
