Such a boss. Out of the 100s and 100s of characters in that world, Yang is my favorite.

If there were ever a time to slap a "Deal With It" animation on a pic...

You didnt see my animu-gaf tan?

Frankly, I have a goldfish's memory for things people draw and post on the internet. I tend to like people more for it. Need I remind you of poor Chinatsu's condition?

The final battle is set:

Christmas day, Hideyoshi vs. Lelouch.

With all the good characters knocked out, whose to champion?

 

[Crash Station]

It's funny how AnimuGAF posters that won't amount to anything feel like they know better than fucking Toshiyuki Inoue.

The internet=armchair everything.

 

[Dresden]

Lelouch, duh.

Damn this thread for making me wanna watch K-On!

Gintama 75

Who knew recaps could be so funny!

What exactly are they battling for?

Man, now that's some running animation.

Lelouch, duh.

I can't be that thrilled by Light clones, sorry.

Well Haruhi A) has at least one character I don't hate/am not indifferent to, B) an actual point, C) actual entertainment value despite some of the work's more facepalm-worthy momentsendlesseightand D) has all this plus KyoAni's trademark excellent animation and production values.

I'm not seeing the problem!

It has Haruhi in it.

7th asked for it, and he got it.

Who is still a more interesting character than anyone in K-On.

Again, not seeing the problem here.

 

[firehawk12]

It has Haruhi in it.

What's it called when you get a checkmate in one move?

7th asked for it, and he got it.

True. But for Sakuga nerds, K-On has got to be one of the top shows in recent years, so I can't really blame him.

 

[Jex]

Who is still a more annoying than anyone in K-On.

She certainly is.

 

[GaimeGuy]

What's it called when you get a checkmate in one move?

Impossible?

 

[cajunator]

Haruhi is an adorable bossy little bitch. Leave her alone.

 

[iavi]

It's funny how AnimuGAF posters that won't amount to anything feel like they know better than fucking Toshiyuki Inoue.

...What are you aiming to say with that title of yours?

 

[jman2050]

What's it called when you get a checkmate in one move?

A checkmate in one move is impossible!

 

[Branduil]

I like Haruhi because she abuses the stupid moe character. It's a metaphor for the relationship between anime and its fans.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

True. But for Sakuga nerds, K-On has got to be one of the top shows in recent years, so I can't really blame him.

If K-ON actually animated the girls playing the instruments with any sort of effort, I would give it credit for Sakuga. As it is, there are many good things about K-ON but sudden bursts of intensely detailed animation is not one of them.

I don't really pay attention to animation itself, so I'm just going on the word of nerds who can name key animators like 7th.

 

[Jex]

I dislike Haruhi because it parodies and makes fun of stupid anime cliches and then engages in all those same cliches anyway.

That's true, but it has Kyon, which is the main elevating factor, along with good production values.

All parodies do that.

 

[trejo]

Really? Did that happen in an episode previous? Because it was Shouma

Spoiler

that handed her his half at the end, that she then showed an already dying Kanba.

The funkiness of the scene/symbolism sequencing would lead you to believe that all of this was

Spoiler

happening before Ringo/Shouma even initiated the transfer, but chalk that up to the show's continually bad direction as there's almost NO WAY this could be the case. There can't be.

Watch episode 20.

Turning to terrorism for cash, apple curry, and world changing magical powers?

Hey man, we've all been there.

Toshiyuki Inoue (THE Inoue) speaks about KyoAni

-At first he only knew of KyoAni as the studio where Yoshiji Kigami worked. He doesn't know Kigami personally but was always aware of him when they were both young; considered him a rival of sorts.
-Lucky Star's design and art are both very polished; the direction is also great.
-Their recent projects definitely reach the "limits of the medium".
-Their animation is very rich and full, and has excellent control.
-K-ON is the current pinnacle of Japanese TV anime.
-I'm praising them very much, but I can't help but praise them right? (laughs)
-KyoAni has without a doubt advanced Japanese animation.
-If K-ON had been made 20 years ago, it'd have been a landmark achievement.
-"Heidi, Girl of the Alps" is the show closest to K-ON, even though the subject matter is very different.
-The consistency of quality also reminds of "Heidi" or "Sanzen-ri"

I AGREE COMPLETELY.

I DON'T.

What exactly are they battling for?

Male moe supremacy.

No love for Yoshiura's new film?

Does it have furries?

Nah, I'm kidding. Looks great. GAF-tan is as expected HNNNNG. Solid work on proportions and such. Better than my shitscribbles at least.

Cruel-Critique:

Spoiler

Personally, I always feel a "-tan" should be something that captures the spirit along the lines of a mascot, not just a representation, so the saints one feels just a tad rote, unless it's just some random Saints Cheerleader/WIP. The GAF-tan fulfills that, but that penguin might just be a bit too prominent, it's getting in the way of the hnnnngs! Sorry for this part though, it's my curse as an Eng/Com major to be a critic to everything. The form with the art is top stuff as far as random peeps on the internet go.

Well after using my brain with the MPD finale, it's time to switch it off and

Guilty Crown - 11

WARNING: Guren Lagann spoilers below!

Buahahaha. Everything really does happen in this episode. It's actually entertaining. I'm wondering if they really

Spoiler

killed Gai off or whether Shu will use Hare's void to revive him

. If it were good writing,

Spoiler

Gai would remain dead so that Shu can step it up as a protagonist/leader and have clearer motivations, etc. (something like what Gurren Lagann did with Kamina's death). This is Guilty Crown though so Gai will either be revived or die with no real impact on the show.

I WANT TO BELIEVE =(

I lost it at "if it were good writing".

Real life is overrated.

I drew the gaf tan earlier this year.
