oh hey its Ranka Lee
It all makes sense why I like it so much. I found a youtube video of it and am just looping it.

Also, the second Macross F movie i-is, uh, non-canon because I said so. I'm not a-angry or anything for being part of a certain fandom or anything. Jeeze!
 
Holy shit, the music in the OP for Rinne no Lagrange is fucking amazing.

Thank Rasmus Faber for that one.

Co-incidence time - Rasmus Faber not only produced the OP and ED for Lagrange but a few songs on Maaya Sakamoto's latest album. Maaya played Megumi Nakajima's mother in Macross Frontier. Both were given their big breaks in Shoji Kawamori shows with Yoko Kanno music.

As they say in Matantei Loki, FUSHIGI MYSTERY.

Sheryl was the better character by far in Macross F, but Megumi Nakajima's musical career since has been far more interesting than May'ns...
 
What I still don't get is why they cast Nakajima as Ranka, but then split the normal/singing roles for Sheryl instead of finding another seiyuu who can do both. Maybe they just really wanted May'n for the songs?

Nakajima is the one who got a Vocaloid though!

With that, I now become sucked in a vortex of needing to hear everything by him.

Also, those connections holy crap.

Ooooo he has a youtube channel! Awesome.

Rasmus Faber is awesome, check out the jazzy remix he did for Skies of Love from LoGH.

The Daily Lives of High School Boys 1

It's time to maximize your virgin power.
 
[Ano Natsu de Matteru ep 01]

Not really that interesting but I'll keep watching it for the art style. The ending was awesome, though lol.
 
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?
Because it's stupid. All the technology in the show is stupid. The blaster the guy was carrying was stupid, harder to aim accurately than a normal "gun" design, had to do something first, take form or whatever, it was fucking stupid. Why invent something dumber than what exists?

Then you had the dumb arrow thing. Sorry, I didn't even think it was a gag it was just stupid. Technology should make sense, that arrow doesn't make sense. An arrow over a chair or person's head's not any use at any time except showing someone their seat. Installing an arrow device thingy for the event you get a transfer student is idiotic, for seating your entire class at the start of the semester it makes more sense to use numbers on the desk or show a seating chart on the board and let them fucking sit down. You wanna fuck with a machine to show a fucking yellow arrow 20 times or so a class for each damn student? I wouldn't. And you can't call on a student with a floating arrow above their head because the student can't see it, so what fucking purpose was there for this stupid arrow except some stupid attempt to show that while sure there's spaceships and cars it's also the future, whooo. Fucking stupid. We got voice and fingers for a damn reason.

Computers always end up looking silly but they looked especially silly in this show with a search seemingly being nothing more than a slot machine type display, might as well get your information from a slot machine, seems like it'd be easier than their computers. I get the same interface after watching a clip on youtube, the future is now!

I hate shit that is shit for the sake of being shit. Bodacious Space Pirates oozes this failed methodology on almost every front.
 
[Byôsoku 5 Centimetre]
i'll accept that text messages don't really get their feelings across to each other
They're not in touch anymore, by the second episode. Haven't been for quite a while. The text messages you see him type are actually some kind of a diary.
 
so is Natsumi
We all still love her anyway
You don't understand, all people are stupid but that doesn't, or shouldn't inform everything about people. As a group we're smarter. It's the opposite of that Men in Black quote. Stupid ideas are cast aside by the majority, stupid inventions are left behind by the majority, the stuff in Bodacious Space Pirates doesn't fit the bill, the technology would actually make their lives harder. Oh well, at least they have spaceships and flight sims. I hate technology that makes lives harder. That's the solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It is one of my pet peeves.

And Natsumi's not stupid she just doesn't think before she acts.
 
Ano 1

With the old Ano, the one with the dead ghost girl, wasn't the original story supposed to be about a group of kids dealing with their sexual frustrations through comedy? This reminds me of that.

Also, I will watch this through to the end and ask myself why every second of the way.
 
I think those Penguin Drum backgrounds in particular need to be studied by a lot of background designers, just because they're good examples of how to do backgrounds that contain lots of colors and complex shapes without becoming a visual blarf. Notice the use of formal perspective to guide the viewer so that they don't become confused by all the visual information and can focus on the most important part of the shots.
The Takakura's residence was certainly translated with the utmost care from the image-boards (specially on those flat wide shots posted), like proper of a planning from a "big-budget" animation film... Shōko Nakamura designs are lovely!

No one does horror quite like DEEN.
On the contrary, I think that is precisely a demonstration of boldness. More studios, like this one or J.C.STAFF did, could give more opportunities to men like Seiya Numata.

I used to think NTR was something like a cuckolding fetish but now I don't even know anymore, man.
And to think that when I first saw that term I thought it was an acronym of 'No Translation Required', if you know what I mean...

Nobody should like CG mechs.
In that sense, LAGRANGE - The Flower of Rin-ne could be considered as "refreshing" nowadays, strange times...

It's all right Noirulus you got one nakama on AnimeGAF, as long as you keep on rocking that sweet avatar.
But Noirulus doesn't have to worry about this! Because teasing can also be a way of showing interest and respect, all between equals... or that is what I'd like to think.
