It would be a huge expanding ball of fire, in other words a huge explosion. It's the only badass way to go. I would get Michael Bay to film it, I hear he's awesome at framing explosions.

Bay fires are all flash no feeling. You're basically saying that your death would be of no consequence as everybody would have forgotten about you no later than 5 minutes later. You're more than that, Unknown.
 
Utena 32

Shit is starting to get real.
There's the double-lie by Kiryuu, lied about the lie, and then was actually lying about that too, Nanami beats the shit out of her friends, Utena is clueless as to what's going on with Anthy and her brother, where does Anthy hide her hair not to mention her slowly increasing personality, and overall, what is the End of the World? Not to mention, the manifestation of Anthy has appeared differently now, not to mention some weird appearances of her, not to mention Mamiya becoming her in one scene.

With just some of these things in mind, I now will head to the fabled Episode 33.
 
Sora no Woto 3-4

Hey, this is actually a great show. Why did I ignore it for so long?
Standard "meet the crew" plotlines and such for now, but it's done really well.
 
Sakura was the winner of the very first Japan Saimoe tournament, back in 2002.
This is akin to discovering the ending to the non-existent Usagi Drop manga.

Michael Bay wishes his explosions had the gravitas and bravado of Hiroyuki Imaishi's.
 
Well if we just narrow it down to Neogaf:

At least 19 pages on google!
Woohoo, that's preview is all my doing! I'm immortalized on the last page. Forever.

Nisemonogatari
Ok, Senjogahara rocks but this is our square one here?
Tricking a middle schooler to see her panties?
The first season also had questionable shit but at least it was all in the sake of the mission but this is just
walk, molest, fool into showing panties, I don't think I like this.

Also the show went too 4th wall breaking in referencing itself, this isn't Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, there's actually a story here, don't do that shit.

Bodacious Space Pirates
While this was just a setup episode I'm really not feeling anyone. My bet is the show ends up terrible.

Lots of people marathoning quality animu lately. Maybe this thread isn't a cesspool for mediocrity after all.

Right? Exactly.

Now if you told me there was brutal & graphic torture of lesbians at the hands of a sadistic basset hound...damn, best show ever.

You should know that Yuno kills a lot of people in Mirai Nikki. A LOT of people. A fair number by decapitation. She doesn't torture them or anything, but she does seem to have quite a bit of skill with bladed weapons and axes. Maybe you should give it another try. Yeah, Yukki's voice is really annoying, but Yuno is <3 so that makes up for it.

Finishing Gurren Lagann for the first time is an amazing fucking feeling. So many highs. You should check out Diebuster and Gunbuster after this.
 
I REFUSE to let the best anime of all time* get tarnished by unnecessary remakes.

*In my opinion.**
**My opinions are fact.***
***I mean at the very least it is the best animu of the 2000s.****
****SUCK ON MY DRILL HATERS

I can't take the opinion of anyone who uses the word "animu" seriously.
 
Acid08 *bro-fist*

The second movie takes any little thing or nuance that you may not have liked about the second half of the show, and "FUCK YEAHS" the hell out of it. You want more adrenaline in your body? You watch that second movie.

Utena 33

What the fuck.
This is a re-cap episode!!! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS ME?!?! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? What's going to happen next, why did this happen, what the fuck, and Anthy, and I thought it was a trip, and then why was it a recap, why is she wearing a dress, and then they fucked, and why was she talking about making lunches, and that asshole can't answer questions on a gameshow though sure it was foreshadowing and trying to show current important plot elements, where did her pure heart gooooooooo?!?!?!

That remindsme.
I left off at episode 9.
Still have to finish gurenn lagann too!

Also, tomo chan is such a voyeur.
Its neat how sakura wears a different outfit for each fight.
This show is one relentless march of cuteness.
groovy is a great ending theme.

I do wonder though why this particular series is so valuable. Why are the discs 900 fucking dollars? Is this show that coveted?
 
Mirai Nikki 13:

Once again, the anime brings in additional content which clarifies events that were unclear in the manga. This time, we actually see some of the setup for this arc, instead of being thrown right into it which is what happens in the manga. Again, it involves characters being shown traveling to where they will be, and incidental events which demonstrate why things are happening. As I said before, in the manga people just tend to appear in the next place of the story without any transition, which can be very confusing. The anime has been filling in those gaps, with very good results.

A few story points were altered in the anime as well, presumably to simplify some things that were a bit dumb in the manga.
It's never explained, for example, how Yuno manages to build an elaborate trap involving concrete being poured into a closed room to kill the people inside in the manga. For the anime, this is dramatically simplified to a room which has canisters of gas inside of it, with the intention of suffocating the people inside when the gas is released.
I don't mind when the anime changes story points to the improvement of the story, and so far, everything the anime has changed has been to the improvement of the story.

They had better keep the ending exactly as it is in the manga, though. I'll be pissed if they alter the ending in any way, shape, or form!
 
Are the Lagann movies at all coherent, or do they obviously suffer from re-used from TV + new footage syndrome (aka shut up and enjoy the new pretty explosions)?

Still haven't seen em.
