[Anne of Green Gables 47-48]
I guess this was inevitable and there were flags all over the place, but still.
Have I mentioned the astounding background art in this show? Yes, yes I have, but that doesn't mean I can't praise it some more. The painterly quality is evident in nearly every scene:
Less impressive, however, is the shows musical. Much like Marco there simply isn't enough of it to sustain a 26 episode series, much less a 50 episode affair. There's too much repetition and not enough variety, which isn't the kind of problem that you'd see quite as often in a modern show. Perhaps it wasn't one of those things that was heavily pushed at the time these shows were being made but I find the lack of variety quite noticeable.

No matter how obvious it was that Matthew was going to die the way they handled the whole episode was heartbreaking. God damn.

What was up with that? Anyway decent episode. Really got me thinking about what "joy" is. Gilgamesh is definitely a fave though isIriesviel dying or something?!
The answer to your question has to do with what she is and will be explained. It is kinda important.
Also, I had to laugh at what is 'literally laying down the framework' of what happens later in Fate Stay Night.
What else can you do when you've been forcefully defiled other than smile while a tear streams down your face.
FSN must have been a really traumatic experience for me if I don't recollect this happening at all.

I'm surprised
Male Yamada has become one of my favorite characters; this was his most hilarious appearance yet.
On my MAL, I have 16 entries in the On Hold section and 134 in the Plan to Watch section. So a lot. Besides LoGH Gaiden and Mainichi Kaasan, which I'm working through at the moment, Vampire Princess Miyu TV, Anne of Green Gables, and Eureka Seven are top priorities. I should also get to Bakemonogatari soon so I can decide if I want to watch Nise. And I'd like to catch up with the new season of Gintama, and I was thinking of checking out Toriko soon, and, and...
I'm surprised
we went the entire episode without Inami punching a male, even if Daisy had to be sacrificed for that to happen. Genuine progress for once?

Man, that punk rock angel is a riot, and his classmates really all do hate his guts, and yet he's the one that runs back into the woods to find the girl. Well, at least SOMEONE cares about him in a way where he doesn't end up getting constantly killed.

Ilya
finds a house, gets inside, decides they need to 'recharge,' 3-way ensues.
It was bad.

It's in the Visual Novels. If you've seen the anime then
it's the bit when she, Saber and Shirou are on the run from Ilya and Berserker in the forest and find the abandoned church. To resupply Saber's strength Rin set up a procedure which Shirou would give her that strength. In the Visual Novel it's the same except 'resupply' is basically what you think it means, and once Rin finishes the ritual setup she is the one to "get the ball rolling" and get Shirou in the proper mood so it ends as the threesome H scene.

Slam Dunkuuuu and GTO. Since they're both super long, it means I'm never going to get to them in my life time.

You seem almost...embarrassed to admit that. Is there some reason why that would be so shameful?

You're missing out on two really great and absolutely fantastic series. And Evangelion.
At the least, watch the live-action GTO, firhawku!
Outside of here it seems to be required viewing for anime fans.

A-Channel is the better
No he should just stick to the anime.
The live-action's pretty good.

I remember watching the first few Chinese-dubbed. It's funny because of both the anime and the live action show, the only thing I can remember is the opening scene where the guy is looking up the skirts of girls who are riding up an elevator. lol
Although, now that I think about it, at least I got to episode 10 or so of the GTO anime. It was after the student tried to bang him and "incriminate" him at the very least.
Legend of Galactic Heroes, Sailor Moon, Infinite Ryvius, Aoi Bungaku, House of Five Leaves
and K-On!.
hmmm if it's anything like Dokuro-chan then i need to watch this asap

Rikiya Koyama has a sexy voice. Other than that it was a pretty boring episode imo.

Golden Boy and Akira are the only two on my "must be watched dubbed" list
I was just saying that as per the two responses last page. I wasn't implying it as the consensus.

Which version of Akira, out of curiosity?
That's really not much of an accomplishment...
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan 4
Ah, the last of OVA 1. I really feel bad for Shizuki at this point. Poor girl really cares for the butt-monkey and he still can't get over the girl that murders him over and over. Got real :firehawk a few times there. It's also the slowest I've seen this show. Normally, they're blasting out dialog and scenes with minimal action to jam the most plot into the show possible.
Now off to OVA 2~!
That moment was genuinely off putting.
Whatever is on the special edition DVD
That's early GTO in a nutshell. The 'driven by lust' factor isn't but an initially reoccurring motif, and even then; the series does do a pretty good job of parlaying that into a genuinely interesting case of character of character development. Read the manga if you're looking for the series' best. From what I remember, the live-action stripped the series of all real substance in the search of laughs, and the anime substantially altered things.
Yeah, the Golden Boy dub's funny as fuck. Only way to watch it imo.

For the anime, I imagine that manga was still going at the time... and for the drama, that had to be a length thing.
Given that there are prequel/sequel books or whatnot, I'm surprised no one has decided to revisit those for anime... but I guess the industry has moved on from that kind of show.
Seems so, unfortunately.

Well I suppose it's certainly viewed that way and I wouldn't really argue against that position butttt there's lots of other shows I'd say are 'required viewing' that very few anime fans watch.
Utena
Galaxy Railway
Space Battleship Yamato original
Captain Harlock original
Mushishi
House of Five Leaves
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Original Gundam
Gundam Zeta
Gundam ZZ
Char's Counterattack
Gundam Unicorn
Initial D (all of the stages)
Monster
Beserk
Patlabor
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
I haven't watched Evangelion either but that is more of a willing choice rather than just backlog, I doubt that'll change soon. The same applies for K-ON!.

Mad Bull 34, Garzey's Wing, Sukeban Deka, Angel Cop, Cyber City Oedo 808...there's quite a list, but I guess those are all terrible shows helped by really amazing dubs.
I would add Mad Bull 34 to my list. Angel cop dub is just....I can't explain it. Just keep away, please just keep away

And by "amazing", you again mean terrible.
If it's not Streamline then you should be watching the sub.

Second dub in the video (1:15). First one sounds pretty bad.

They should remake it so that the teacher is a moe 13 year old.

FLCL and Star Driver p1 blu-rays have been sitting in front of my tv, so I hope to finally watch both soon, as well as the Naruto Shippuden: Bonds and Blade: Fade to Black movies.

Well, some would (and have argued) that it's hard to top such an amazing aural tour de force.

Damn, those are some long shows to get through. Good luck to anyone starting any of those any time soon!
I kind of envy y'all for getting to experience those great shows for the first time, but that's some serious time commitment.

Aside from some Yarizui :cajun, this episode was more of a setup for next week's. Ah well. At least the :cajun was good for me. ^^; It's not entirely worthless though, as a new character is brought aboard around the end, and we learn more about the weirdness that is Kyo and Kyo.

Dayum... that was definitely NSFW... Eh, it was alright, kind of an anticlimactic end, and the reaction faces weren't as good as they were in the first series. I kind of wish there was more, maybe some narrative closure since I know the series ended. Still, fun stuff.

Start Utena over again, I made to episode 3 probably three years ago.
Choose Yuru Yuri for the moe yurishit
Damn right, it was that good! I've lost count already of how many 'TOLD status' reports I've seen during this week. As SOUND DRAMA Fate/Zero indicates, the expanded version of that episode is going to be even better.
True, and a good amount of shows used so many times specific tunes restrictively as an accompaniment to certain mood-setting or typical situations that it even made those moments additionally annoying. In some cases it was the other way around, though, and you wanted to hear that tune and immediately after that enjoy what you expected and was going to happen.
