Tell him to watch Colorful.
Only for a week. I'm guessing I have to make the avatar myself?
Will do. But I actually heard this series is good? Or was I lied to?

I liked it. Most of animegaf probably doesn't since it's a pretty typical harem show which they hate.
The early parts of the movie take place in the mid to late 1990s, so even text messages weren't as widespread back then anyway. Also, the place Takaki moves to, Tanegashima, is a small island six hundred miles from Tokyo/Iwafune.
To be fair, I didn't pick up on those my first time through the movie either. But once you know the details a few things start to make a bit more sense.

Well, you killed my last reasoning that i've been using to convince myself that the movie was genuinely disbelievable in some form.

Ah. Well, the anime does change from ep. 2 on -- the first episode is that one-off battle, but after that it becomes more normal and changes to a plot focus-- but still, as I said, the anime and manga have entirely different stories with the same characters. Whenever you get to the manga, and more of the anime, it'd be interesting to see how they compare (to the VN).
Ah. I see your point, but for me the ridiculous degree of the similarity bothered me more than the use of technology; some of it was unnecessary, perhaps, sure, but some was kind of cool.
As for world building though, when your world concept is "modern Japan but with some added tech", I don't know how much work they really had to do... what do you think the episode should have done instead?
Yeah, it did, and it's good. The MC's great, as seen in that gif.
Watch Aquarion Evol.
I'm going to watch it anyway, I-it's not like i'm actually interested or anything, okay?
Alright. But this is the last one. I really am sorry for everyone who saw those spoilers unwillingly.

Less superfluous shots of magazines connected to televisions, iPad notebooks, and revolving doors, and more plot would have been great!

Naw, it aired already. I just didn't realize it.
It's right up your alley. Plus it's a genuinely well-made movie, one of the better ones in the last few years.
I like this idea.
You were lied to
More random amusement from r/anime.
It wasn't 50% off yet, but I still looked over my shoulder before I grabbed it

Kaoru bitch slapping Nanako was easily the best bitchslap in the entire show. Also, Fukiko keeping it classy as always...
Now you can be taken seriously.

god damn it... was thinking of GTO for some reason. OS wasn't bad though. Boobs.
Anyone else not really digging the cg mechs of this season?
Nobody should like CG mechs.

This sums up my feelings on Bodacious Space Pirates:
There's few examples of something so stupid and a scene where technology for the sake of technology is actually a waste of time than the scene in Bodacious Space Pirates where the new substitute teacher shows the new transfer student, yes I know what a non-cliched scenario, where to sit by looking at his seating chart for a second, fumbling with it for a second and then causing a giant yellow arrow to materialize on the only fucking empty chair in the classroom. Congratulations, that's my award for useless fantasy technology in fiction and accurately sums up that feeling that I get while watching Space Pirates. Technology should make things simpler not stupider and Space Pirates should be cooler than sea pirates not stupider, unfortunately in this show neither is true.

I thought that was probably one of the better uses of technogadgets in the episode though. It was kind of funny and surprising (I didn't expect a big arrow like that), why not have it as a little gag?
Perhaps there was too much of it, but I did find the sheer degree of similarity (along with the historical and other issues I complained about of course) to be the bigger issue than the scattered uses of future tech stuff, as far as world design goes. As for the pacing of the episode, it was perhaps a bit slow, but worked okay overall and as I said I mostly liked it.

The irony is that the only CG mechas I really liked recently were the ones in Infinite Stratos. Seriously. They actually put effort into the cel-shading and shadowing to make them look like 2D expanded into 3D, and they actually tried to blend them into the backgrounds.

Genesis of Aquarion 1
This is one of the coolest first episodes I have ever seen. It had all the intensity of an endgame at parts. Didn't think there would be so much going on so soon. Already got a few characters I'm keeping an eye on. Apollo and the magician dude are awesome.
Can't believe I never watched this before. I don't think there's any doubt I'll be joining Geneijin among the Evolbros.

Fortunately, this episode has only a couple minutes of the substantially-less-interesting school antics, and they're right up front. Plus it seems like
Instead, the episode focuses on the neat stuff like alien worlds and characters, and interstellar intrigue, and HOLY CRAP IS THAT NORIO WAKAMOTO VOICING AN ALIEN? We finally get an explanation for the macguffin and it's suitably threatening.
Despite the lack of real action, it was probably the best episode since the first, due to ignoring the less interesting earth stuff.

the possessed classmate is going to try to kill them all, so even though she'll probably fail, we can hope.

Suddenly, alien terrorism. I'd like to think those cars exploded because they were mad about being ugly CGI.
Okay, it's not that bad, but it's a much better community than, say, animesuki.
well, that's not setting the bar very high but still

Animesuki, what a cesspool. I agree.
You mean the one that starts "If youre a monster"?
Yes, that one.
Did you note the forum source and avatar of the guy who posted it? Explains a bit, I think.
I thought it would be prudent to not click on the source in this case.
It's awful, and that's probably why I enjoyed it.
Doesn't seem like something that could hold my attention in the long term though.
Fair enough. FYI, it's merely

Outstanding. Three of the five sketches this week were from the previews, but the two new ones were pretty good, the first more than the latter.

Ehhh, I wasn't really feeling this. I'll give it a few eps to see if it grows on me or not.
