Well, with the help of Google search tools and after seeing various time custom ranges, it seems that the apparent origin of the term (as far as little Googlebot knows) resides on this blog entry:

EveTaku Blog: So I'm due for an update.
http://evetaku.blogspot.com/2011/01/so-im-due-for-update.html

So... anyone here knows about it?

I think we all know someone is secretly reading this.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I think random angry sputtering is a pretty good response.

Next episode is god tier too. You should probably take a break.

What did Akio's fruity drink mean anyway?

FF13 gets unreasonable amounts of hate. Granted, if you're not feeling it early on then don't fall into that "Wait until Chapter 11!" trap. Its not true. Still, you won't find many games that look better, have better music and presentation, or RPGs with a better battle system. I've played through it three times now - its the best hallway simulator ever imo (and thats a very real flaw... but it didn't keep many from enjoying the ride regardless).

 

[Regulus Tera]

Oh God talking about all this actual good anime is making me want to finish Tutu, but I have to abide by my schedule of one episode per night.

Needs to be reposted.

Forever.

Well I sure am after this.

I got it for $5! I couldn't say no! Plus since finishing Uncharted 3 my PS3 has been neglected outside of Netflix!

 

[DrForester]

There are two, as yet unnamed, tiers of Pimpness between Akio and whoever anime's second biggest pimp is.

And might as well use this chance to show off my second most prized anime nerd possession.

[cajunator]

In most animes there is a break from the moe. It comes in heart friendly parcels so as not to harm. Not so here. It is relentless. You are bombarded with hnng at a continuos interval.
How many episodes will my poor heart last?

 

[DrForester]

Ararararagi.

I was actually tempted to say it's Drosselmeyer.

NIA . I totally get why it had to happen but ;( make me sad

Simon :bow,

Spoiler

He didn't become Kameda, he was his own person through and through.

Top 3 anime for me, holy wow. It had literally everything I want from an anime in terms of story, characters, art, animation, and general what the fuck is that moments. Pure magic, bro-fist to all my blood brothers.

Final words: JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?

Woo! Always great to see more TTGL lovers in here. One of the best series of ALL TIME.

Now you should watch the movies and Diebuster. The latter is like TTGL with a female protag.

I REFUSE to let the best anime of all time* get tarnished by unnecessary remakes.

Spoiler

*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

Utena is a true Nonoriri.

I don't think you actually understand the purpose of the movie. Just watch it dude. I am 99.9999% sure you won't be disappointed, and as long as it's not 0, it might as well be 100!

 

[Regulus Tera]

PMed you brony.

Thought it best not to share this in the thread for spoils.

Fucking SATAN himself oh God.

You cannot recommend Diebuster and not Gunbuster first! STOP DOING THINGS BACKWARDS PEOPLE

She collects 1 card per episode, sometimes two. Episodes where she doesn't collect a card only means that

There is a LOT of manga content relating to THE IDOLM@STER. I'm guessing I should be very afraid. Not afraid enough to not have a look, though.

Same. I should make more Haibane artwork now that i can draw better.

[Aquarion Evol 1]

This show is terrible. I can't describe the plot.

It features:

- Neo Venezia

Spoiler

getting destroyed

- Double metal arm dude
- Shooting guns when blindfolded
- Ugly CG mecha with terrible designs
- Three times faster red mech
- Psychic visions
- Nightmare NTR
- Shu
- Being crushed by giant statues and rescued by the power of Garzey's Wing (combined with the wings on the feet thing. Really)
- Combining orgasm robots
- Shining palm hand of power
- Hundreds of civilian casualties
- Robots rebuiliding
- FLYING LOVE ATTACK right into the moon

Don't be confused into thinking that it will be good.

Aquarion Evol Ep.01

That water looked really pretty.

I have this weird feeling all the negative posts about Aquarion Evol is just going to make more people watch it.

Ugliest robots since like, fuck, i dunno.

Anne of Green Gables 22

This adaptation totally nails Anne's flights of fancy. They come alive to a remarkable degree.

Damn, that ending sucked. Ruined the series. Any animu with good ending that isn't totally depressing ala Fate/Night?

A show with scenes musicalized by Claude Debussy is always good for the soul.

Seriously, the sountrack is fantastic. I think I heard some Bach and Chopin here and there also. That bridge scene was just something else...

If i'm not misinterpreting AnimeGAF's lingo, I believe i'm getting :firehawk'd.

Lol the censoring is BRILLIANT (nsfw).

Also Murmur is adorable

Bouncing Tits check!

The protagonist is like the amalgamation of every perverted teen boy.

Also the protagonist has the best alarm clock ever. Anime-GAF would be proud.

Damn, that ending sucked. Ruined the series.

Wat. That was the only ending Madoka could have done that would have been satisfying at that point. I was so sure that they were going to pull some BS like most anime would, and they didn't.

It needed more symbolism and lesbians. Well it did have the lesbians.

Bartender 11 End

This show is just a class act. The final episode was a nice concluding paragraph to the themes the show was trying to convey throughout. It was just a joy to watch, and I even learned something about bar tending and alcohol in the process. A real hidden gem if I've ever seen one.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Currently reading some interview icarus linked me to, and this section totally reminded me of AnimeGAF:

WHAT WILL THE SPREAD OF DIGITAL CHANGE?

[Ikuhara] Well, there are currently a lot of people who talk about digital as a technique to make the presentation of anime more radical, but I think they're making a horrendous mistake. Wouldn't that just make using digital a technique for overhauling the presentation of cel anime that has taken 30 years to establish? That's no way to change the system of the animation production houses. It's just an attempt to go on riding the system we've already got.

[Anno] Oshii (Mamoru)-san says "Now that the pioneers of anime have died, it will die with them." He says the history of anime ended long ago.

[Ikuhara] Yeah. And what about our aesthetics? The aesthetics of people like us who find shadows fixed on the back side of cels beautiful are being processed through cost-performance. If cost-performance changes, my aesthetics are supposed to change too. Of course, the people who created form in the midst of such groping were the people of the first generation who created Japanese anime.

[Anno] The origin was stuff like Disney animation, and we're just extensions.

[Ikuhara] Thanks to the impending spread of digital, the aesthetics on screen will change. Because my emotions will get more and more messed up when that happens, I think the emotions that that we now consider beautiful will fall apart.

[Anno] No, but, I can't stand CG shadows.

[Ikuhara] Oh, really?

[Anno] I hate them see...I guess they're just not crisp or something.

[Ikuhara] Come again?

[Anno] So, with brush shadows, when you make them fluffy, I just can't take it. It's just not manly. (laugh) Girlishness when trying to express aesthetics just sucks. Shadows should be crisp and definitive. "Seaweed" shadows weren't popular in the original robot anime.

[Ikuhara] "Seaweed"?

[Anno] When depicting the aesthetics of mecha, the wavy shadows.

[Ikuhara] But weren't those shadows cutting edge for expression in those days? "The human body is far better than CG." (Anno)

[Anno] Recently I watched some "Kinchuu" ("Kingiyo Chuuihou!")[9]. As research for "KareKano". I thought that perhaps that was what gags and shoujo manga were. But it felt a little old.

[Ikuhara] Old? It feels like things are divided into the the time before and after "Sailor Moon". I feel like it really infected the tastes at Comiket.

[Anno] Yeah. Whether something's major or not at Comiket amounts to whether or not it gets made into erotic stuff. After all, the sex industry is strong no matter what era it is. As Tsurumaki (Kaguya) said, earnestly value all things equally. Both Hiromatsu Junko and Ayanami Rei. I can't express it in words, but I feel the same chasm within myself.

[Ikuhara] I think it's the feeling of antisepticness. The impression that they don't smell like anything is good.

[Anno] Yes, yes, exactly.

[Ikuhara] Apparently stuff like unnecessary hair, or nose hair, isn't absolute. Of course, in pictures the characters don't actually have nostrils (laugh). I bet everyone would start hating pictures of girls if we drew nostrils on them.

[Anno] Cel anime fans are more sterile than that.

Animu has been dead since before 1998.

Spoiler

Not really.

Spoiler

Her wish could not fix the system, which gives that very wish power. Its paradoxical. Rather she inserted herself into the system as a law and brought about a change, but the mechanics of the law still have to function. Hence from witches it goes to demons.

She changed the law, but she is still a servant to the law. Which makes the notion of being a god whimsical if you think about it. She creates a force equal to herself in despair and negative energy to balance out her wish. While at the same time is bound to a life of servant to prevent her wish from being altered back to its natural state.

I forget who's impression they were, but they made me add this to the backlog just a little while back. I'm not in the mood for it atm, but it does indeed look beautiful.

I did some impressions a couple weeks ago. If it was me, I feel I've completed my job.
