Awesome! Enjoy it. Its just a cute show. Nothing special, but the character designs are fun and the personalities of each girl are what you would expect. Butl ike I said, stay far away from season two (Tenshi no Shippo Chu)
how did you determine if it's CG or not from that blocky ass clip

Well, that went differently than I expected. I certainly didn't think the tournament would turn out like that. It was nice to see more of Arata and get some more info on what he was up to during the past few years. I liked seeing his relationship with his grandfather, and there were some nice emotional moments.
Yeah, I would buy it if they released it over here. I've been a big fan of Asaka for a long time, so I would have probably bought it even if I knew almost nothing about it.

Interesting enough to keep watching. I didn't think this show was going to be funny but I was wrong.
Mawaru Penguindrum 1 - 2
After seeing this quite a bit in the last thread, I'm impressed. Those penguins keep cracking me up! The OP and ED music is good stuff. Will keep watching to the end.

I guess you're right.
I'm pretty guilty of buying into all that shit too.
That’s sad, no wonder no one dares to put out stuff that isn't trash@chihaya sales
chihaya just didn't pander enough to otakus.
But...chihaya isn't even shoujo, it's josei.

Yep. Many of us are. Figures, wallscrolls, CDs, wank-pillows, etc. keep the industry going. Albeit by a thread.
That's even worse for sales.
Yeah it's not CG. Had to find a better quality version myself just to verify!

Sailor Moon 37
Such an odd episode really. Sailor Moon is either fun wacky antics or serious dorama business and this episode was honestly really neither. There were some fun, cute, ditsy Usagi moments and a pretty sweet insult of Usagi from Kunzite but as a whole this episode was really underwhelming.
It failed to really move the story along, although there were one cool tidbit involving Artemis and Luna
and the episode basically existed to show that Usagi has to change herself to match her
self, but of course not really because Usagi is always going to be Usagi.
I dont want to say this episode was pointless but the enjoyment I derive from most of Sailor Moon was really nowhere to be seen in this episode. I just think in general it was really weird to do episodes 34-35 the way they did, specifically getting all the senshi into the story and then just cutting it abrupt and going back to the youma of the week stuff. The way the show is structured it honestly doesnt seem like the girls are trying to do a whole lot to
On a side note I wonder where the idea of running with toast in your mouth being cute/moe actually came from. Its one of those things that is (supposedly) really cute/moe in anime, but running with a piece of hard buttered toast in your mouth in real life is dangerous as you might choke or worse yet drop the toast, and it certainly isn't cute at all.

actually save Tuxedo Mask and eliminate the big bad while doing so. Usagi and the girls spent this episode learning how to be princesses instead of actually doing shit.

It is celshading.
It's definitely NOT CG, why are you guys even having this conversation?

Same difference! In fact, josei audiences not caring about discs is what killed noitaminA.
5k sales... I suppose. Taking bets on what will come to America first - Aoi Hana or Tamayura (and the OVAs) and I really don't know. Maybe Wandering Son is the darkhorse, assuming the mangas have been selling here.
The thing is that there's an economy based on letting people fuck, but that's because of multi-generational homes and banging in a room next to your mother's or father's room is probably the most awkward thing in the world.
Either way, sex seems to be treated as something illicit and to be hidden. One easy question to ask is this - do they teach Japanese kids about condoms in school and at what age?
Revolutionary Girl Utena Movie
I knew I was in for something great given how many good things I'd heard about the film over the years and I wasn't disappointed. Loved the character/costume design changes, the crazy architecture, and just how wonderfully visual the movie was.

It was so interesting to see an extrovert Anthy rather than the TV's introvert version. It allowed her to become so much more of a character rather than a trophy.
I was fine with the imagery up until the carwash but I adjusted shortly after. Won't lie, the entire scene on the road with Anthy behind the wheel was fabulous. Also, I adored the scene where Utena makes peace with Touga and is able to move on. Sad and I thought well executed.
:lol at the Akio & Nanami appearances

You need to rewatch the tv show sometime.
Plan on it but I get what you're getting at.
Maybe he was just feeling nostalgic for better times, when video files with more than 300 horizontal lines were mind-blowing and studios like Gainax were actually good.

Merchandising
Exactly. Don't forget those pictures of otaku rooms stuffed to the rafters with glorious merchandise!
Then again really popular shows have much better sales (relatively speaking), as we've seen in the sales charts. It's all very helpfully explained here: http://2chan.us/wordpress/2010/05/03/2ch-sales-numbers/
I can't say it's a very profitable business for most companies though, especially if a lot of companies are all targeting one particular niche audience at the same time.
Then again, they're hardly the only industry with questionable profit margins. The American Airlines lose like $2 billion a year and make absolutely no profit.

Lesbians.
Liking the music more and more, tone seems all over the place. Switching between bubbly girl love and serious existenialism. Tsubasa is clearly damaged goods, I don't see things ending well for her.

I don't know, but I do know that back in the mid-2000's nearly every show was getting a release by some anime company and they did a pretty good job flooding the US market, and presumably their own market.
Considering there were 159 anime titles produced in 2005, 205 anime titles produced in 2006, 200 titles in 2007, 153 titles in 2008 and 141 titles in 2009 it's pretty clear that there was some kind of bubble which burst rather spectacularly.
:firehawk is losing its meaning with you guys misusing it
If only they didn't fuck up that one disc release, then they wouldn't need any more.

Bombafuru. At least Tamayura did well though.
....Also, Horizon sales...wtf.
It's the amazing character designs that put Horizon over the top.
I actually thought the show was kind of decent. Not that terrible

Persona 4 14 - So many god damned S-links. Next week is the
, so maybe some hype?
Still, 13 is probably the best this show is going to get. It was the one "non-phone it in" episode of the series probably.

Indeed, an excellent episode all round.
Edit: and holy shit, if next weeks episode is what I think it is!:
Persona 3 land, Port Island school stip!
Although Tamayura wasn't quite on par with KnT, that's not too bad relatively. Also seems like even KnT anime sales were less than stellar.
And I'm sure you know the answer to all three of those series.
I don't get the hate either. I'm happy it's doing well. Anime needs more Toriis and Kimis and less Shus and Inoris.It's the amazing character designs that put Horizon over the top.

Really off-topic, sorry, but I didn't wanna start a new thread for what, I imagine, will be an "question asked, question answered" type thing:
What anime is this from? http://i.imgur.com/0lhty.gif
I got the gif from a thread a couple months ago and it cracks me up; I believe the whole movie has similar animal-fighting antics and I gotta know the name.
Thanks!

Now expect the following after being quoted.
1. It's boring, not worth your time
2. It's great, best comedy in a while
3. If you decide to watch it then wait for the shorter 12 episode edited airing
My advice: you will not find a conclusive answer in this thread, so save some time, watch the first episode and form your own opinion

It's executed pretty bad man. Even diehard fans would admit that about its shortcomings.
. It's a little bit tragic that this show only shine in the comedy moments but oh well, next week is going to be epic.darkside31337

haha, AWESOME. Many thanks
Seriously you're better off just ignoring the haters. Give the show a shot, I thoroughly enjoyed it, one of my favorites in 2011.
The man might be destined to be a class-b chump/hardcore friendzone, but I doubt that in particular will happen.
Arata is the sexy idol who's had the benefit of not actually being in her life, anyways. It was over since episode one.
Haha, this scene will never get old. Never. But, yeah, I hope I'm wrong there.
I'm a few more eps in since my post, and I can agree with you a bit, aside from his romantic intents, which are so very much there, man--Wanting Chihaya to realize that he's been the one in front of her etc... etc...
The thing is, while I'm seeing that they're both put in largely positive lights, Taichi's the only one to have received overtly negative characterization. This may be to, as dresden pointed out, exemplify how Arata is the idol that's not actually in her life, but glorified in her imagination--
her letter to him calling him a 'Karuta God' that she idolizes
didn't quickly give him some negativity to make up for it, no, but reafirmed how much of a 'good guy' he was; moody and introverted, but the first few eps were to show the viewer that he's only masking in those scenarios, I believe.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
More Denpa?

I think KnT did around 5-10k on DVD. At least S1 anyway.
