that's pretty damned :cajun overall but I don'treally understand what the story is or what the hell is going on.
OK, anyway I slept off post-work exhaustion and I made some soup. ITS SAKURA TIME.
Human meets a furry and they have Human-furry halfbreed children.
That's the basic of the synopsis.

Really all you can do is educate the few with your interpretation.
This is an extreme example, the word moe has become twisted much like the Swastika is tainted and no longer represents its original meaning. As with the Swastika, it may never go back.
Edit:
I'd better stop posting, I'm getting dangerously close to crossing the three digit mark in an anime thread. Everyone else start posting so this thread will hit it's cap before I make it on the wall of shame.
your mistake there just cleared up a mystery that has long since plagued my existence.
TESTING....
I like
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *waddles around in cirles
In a sense yeah, but it's all about the kids growing up I think.
Roujin Z (So much old man moe!)
I decided to watch on a whim, I personally had never heard of the movie until I stumbled onto it. Now that I have watched it, it's jumping pretty high up on my list of movies to recommend people who love gorgeous animation and a fun story.
It might be because I have been volunteering and helping out with the elderly for a while, but the premise of this really hooked me. The Idea of creating a more efficient system to look over the elderly who can no longer maintain themselves is appealing. Removing some of the pressure that is put on care givers and families, as well as eliminating the need for nursing facilities is something people are still interested in. So combine a desire to redically improve elderly care with some self-sufficient/aware pseudo-mech action, and you have Roujin Z.
From a visual stand point, the amount of work and effort put into the characters/character animation is amazing and extremely fun to watch, especially the scenes where
. The background work is minimal but not detrimental; maybe due to budget it was turned into a artistic style and works as such. The influences from Akira and it's influence on other works can also be seen at many times in the way
The ending of the movie was very....of it's time I guess. It was fun but came out of nowhere.
Looking at some of the people involved in the production is pretty amazing:
Katsuhiro Otomo
Satoshi Kon
Hiroyuki Kitakubo
Mitsuo Iso
It also has an amazing score that as far as I can tell has been lost to time.

the bed moves around freely (Dat 2D detail work) and the later scenes with the two robots are fighting(*Drool*)
the bed merges its self to other electronics/items/junk.

If you go to that place you only have yourself to blame!
Is there nothing original any more? For shame.

When people watch Geass and School Days this thread provides top class, excellent entertainment.

Now you understand why I've been hopeful for Guilty Crown only to be disappointed in the end
.To be fair though, it does happen.

You shouldn't be watching anime on wikipedia!
Well it's been that way for awhile! I think it's for the best if we use words where there's a wide range of agreement upon the definition.
As long as :Cajun doesnt get misconstrued like moe does.
It is when :Cajun becomes defined as pedo that I draw the fucking line.
Nobody likes their name defiled by misconceptions.

Well said. I don't think there's a danger of that happening given the type of people who post here.
That will never, ever be the case.
Another fallen soldier.
Yeah people here pretty much know what is meant by it. but I have seen a few instances of people casually coming into this section and thinking that way, so I just want to make it clear to anyone who might be lurking or casually browsing this section of the forum.
Anyway, onto CCS 22.

No one ever really learns, though. We all forget, such is the danger of living so far away from nature.

Still funny even if half the segments were in the PVs. I absolutely cracked up when the butler was chasing the other ones around with the false tooth at the end.

Holy shit, I remember seeing this over a decade ago. I could never remember what it was called! It was a great movie if memory serves me.
Roujin Z is a film I watched a while a go when Sci-Fi channel used to air anime over here at some crazy time in the morning. I don't really remember much about the film, but occasionally I'll suddenly find myself thinking "what was that film with the old man in the robot bed?" and having to look it up because not remembering the title bothered me.

Fight at the end and snake girl were cool, but dull otherwise. Might give it one more, but looks like I'll probably drop it.

Man, the fanservice in this episode was totally unexpected for such a classy production. Anyway -
Inevitably, I suppose, the direction and animation were a step-down from last weeks episode. But that's hardly a surprised - last weeks episode was storyboarded by frigging Yoshiaki Kawajiri. You know, the director of:
and other classic Madhouse crazyness. I guess he hasn't left yet.
The main problem this week seemed to be a lack of cohesion between the sequences, it just didn't feel like it was paced and edited properly, which made it a bit clunky overall.

As expected, Chihaya lost. Quite badly, too. I was a little bit surprised by, er, how little character development the Queen got. At this point she's just being set up as an obstacle to overcome, a point to aim for, rather than an actual person.
I am a little bit surprised that Taichi didn't win either, I assumed that maybe they'd give the squad some hope, but I guess it's better if they all have to improve. They're more 'equal' that was, regardless of the actual difference in skill level.

I wasn't expecting
The scene as they were leaving the shrine was incredibly beautiful. Best show of last season is still the best show of this season.
I wasn't expecting
them all to lose, but it gives them all something to build to for the last half of the series.

It's interesting. I want to commend Japanese writers for being brave enough to
have their protagonists lose
extend the length of the series indefinitely
No I didnt say that, but it just doesn''t seem like something young kids would be doing.
It's just
the heroes losing so they have an excuse to go train more for that inevitable shonen haato comeback.
I'd prefer it if
Chihaya never does become eli-te and Taichi sucks shit and stays in B forever.

Exactly, it happens all the time. If the hero can overcome EVERY challenge then there's something wrong with them and they become boring too watch.

Subete no aware
So you are in favour of
Queen x Chihaya
I will say, it's not that it's rare for American sports texts to
have the hero lose. Rocky
Well, there's also the fact that you also can't keep something going for 15+ volumes otherwise.
The Akagi effect.
Hi Anime-Gaf. I'm thinking of getting some anime on blu-ray, and I'm currently eyeing Casshern Sins and Kuragehime. What do you guys think of these shows? I see that the director of Kuragehime also directed Baccano which I really enjoyed, and both shows sound pretty interesting from their descriptions.

It's a shame that this plot line is going to be denigrated with the wacky harem hijinks, but right now this is as honest as the show will ever get. Not dropped yet, and if it doesn't become too offensive I might watch it through.
