School Days 10

Shit is hitting the fan.

Poor Seika. ;_;

Edit:

Episode 11 is called
Everyone's Mikoto
. This'll be good. Too bad I can't watch it til later.
 
I watched some anime this weekend!

Rinne no Lagrange 1

Why are all the evil pilots men and all the good pilots women? Or did I miss something? Otherwise - could have done without the suplex (just screams CHEESE at me) but surprisingly good - nice and chirpy.

Aquarion Evol 1-2

I am clearly super-jaded. This is actually no worse than the original Aquarion's first episode, but where I gave that a pass I just couldn't get into this. It makes me feel very old to realise it's been seven years or so since the original series, and thus most of the people watching it probably haven't really seen the first season so it doesn't matter that it's almost exactly the same.

Although what the hell is the stupid segregation of the sexes thing about? While it sets up the ridiculous "men and women should never gattai BUT OH WAIT IT'S AWESOME" joke/plotpoint/whatever the hell it is, it just seems a bit pointless really; an incredibly artificial obstacle that is so obviously going to fall apart (because the premise of the show is COMBINING SEX ROBOTS) that it seems hardly worth the effort.

Anyway, same old stupid Aquaricrack, except not actually at the insane levels it got to later in the series so much less interesting.

Another 1

I'd much rather read the book.

It's worrying that everything that happened in this episode - and I mean, everything - was revealed in the advance publicity for it. At least Lagrange and Aquarion have the advantage of action sequences, or Aquarion's cheesy meet-cute stuff - aside from maybe the meeting in the elevator and the hints of there being "another" Misaki (oh ho ho I see what you did there, show), the episode was a bit of a snore. By-the-numbers writing and directing, SO MUCH GREY... not that I'm disinterested in where the story might go, but it's hardly dressed in the most exciting of clothing.

You can be creepy by doing more than just focusing on people's eyes going wide and random seemingly pointless shots of dolls.

Escaflowne 19

I just felt like watching this as it's one of my favourite episodes. The ending section as Operation Golden Rule of Love plays out is just masterful, a perfect synergy of shot composition, art, music, acting, scripting...
 
So what is this I'm hearing about the HxH Remake? Did it become good?

It's gotten better, but still noticeably less tense than the original with some censorship here and there.

Honestly, I'm expecting a time change if they want to make it to the Chimera Ant arc. The timeslot they're in now really won't allow a lot of what happens.
 
Panda! Go Panda!

An adorable girl has fun with her panda dad and panda son.

Panda! Go Panda! & The Rainy-Day Circus

The same, but with more water.

Heavy foreshadowing of Ponyo here.
 
Nisemonogatari 03

Ahh, just pump that Senjougahara abuse right into my veins. Oh, and the plot looks halfway decent now that it's actually started, too.

Moretsu Pirates 03

I actually felt a bit nervous during the beginning of the spacewalk. This show can build tension when it wants to; that's a good sign.

Lagrange 03

Ahaha, Kirius mistaking Madoka's idiocy for exotic combat rituals and techniques is the best.
 
Oh! Edo Rocket 22:
Pretty funny episode overall. It was an amusing diversion while also reflecting on the characters and providing some development for Shunpei and O-Nui. It was nice to see that strand hadn't been dropped. I continue to be really impressed with how the show handles timing in regards to its comedy. There were several moments in the episode that were just pitch perfect.
 
Rinne no Lagrange 3

I must say I'm really enjoying the light-hearted tone of the show and hope they stick with it throughout, but the stuff with
the chairs is really giving me Bokurano vibes so they'll probably start introducing the more morbid undertones that have been hinted at during the next couple of eps.
. I still can't get enough of the OP. Maru!
Amen at the bolded.

It would be something if they did.
 
Gundam AGE 15

Darn that was so good but
Grodek got the worst outcome. A hero branded as a traitor?! Screw the Earth Federation
. Flit was a really good protagonist and
got a bit emotional when he was face to face with the antagonist

Cant wait to see the new antagonist and how much everyone has changed in the next episode.
 
Rinne no Lagrange 3

I seriously can't believe I was going to ignore this show.
Also Madoka messing up the blade block not once but TWICE in a row, and then trying to strangle a robot, were amazing

Yep, this is totally female Gurren Lagann. Can't wait for Madoka to get REALLY hot-blooded.

I can't stop listening to the OP, when's the full version coming out. I NEED IT. Also female gurren lagann sounds like the best thing ever.

Finally, I'm not broken! I'm just slightly scuffed.I haven't watched School Days yet unlike all of you.... not crazy people.
 
Goddamn, watching the School Days OVA's is leaving me wanting more. I can't wait for English release of School Days HQ.
It's an excellent game. I can't speak for HQ as I haven't gotten around to that version yet (only played the original) but it's got fun and attractive characters, interesting plot branching with a variety of "what if" scenarios (it's not a one-story-per-girl game), the affection/connection bar at the top made experimenting to find routes easier than most trial-and-error novel games (hopefully they didn't ditch that in HQ). And of course, it's animated. Not that detailed still CGs aren't nice, but animation is fun, too.
 
Phi Brain 16

Pretty enjoyable episode. I liked the puzzle for Gammon (stardust-kun).
Surprise entry by Kaito was great especially since he is back to solving puzzles. It was pretty epic.

Jikugawa in some action was nice, he definitely needs to continue being around, and his precious apple juice.

Started to feel bad for both Rook and Gammon. Rook seems to be jealous or envious of the relationships and friendships Kaito has and especially when he got angry at Nonoha in the scene after she woke Kaito up. I hope reconciliation is possible. Gammon just needs a time to shine, but with POG, doesnt seem possible with impossible puzzles
 
You are doing a poor job of representing for Animu-GAF over in NFL-GAF. You disappoint me. Also, do you like work 7 days a week or something? You're always at work!

Yeah i work a lot.
Thats why i cant watch more anime.
It makes me kind of depressed.
Its too busy tonight to keep up with the game.
 
Aim for the Ace 7:
Frequently in anime, characters seem to have almost ridiculous levels of determination and self-confidence, even in the face of huge amounts of pressure. Hiromi is pretty much the exact opposite. She reacts to pressure in a way that makes it easy to empathize with her. I have to say that I wasn't expecting
her to get crushed quite so badly. I thought she'd at least manage to win a few games before ultimately losing.
I really enjoyed seeing Munakata open up more to Hiromi and thought the scene with them on the court was lovely.
 
Zero no Tsukaima F 03

This season is so much better than season 3 that it isn't even funny. The long wait between S3 and this was worth it.

Also the ED makes me HHHHHNNNNNNGGGHHHHHHH
