Ffffffff, I actually kind of like this show. It is slow and somewhat predictable but there's something enchanting about its cheesiness. When it tries to creep you out but there's really no sense of a threat or danger it's all just kind of a laugh.
But then it pulls a Blood-C and gets grimdark and grotesque and you can cringe and kind of laugh about that too.
 
gutter crap 14

As dumb as it ever was.
I'm sure the void powerlevel scouter was left there by the evil clown mastermind to divide the students as they begin to be judged and prioritised based upon their value. Clearly this will lead those deemed less important to feel alienated (let's not forget the limited supply of the vaccines for space cancer) and thus more likely to revolt or maybe I'm just putting way too much thought into this shitty fucking show.

nice job with CCS but why Guilty Crown?

For some reason I read "finished" but the question is still the same. And I should say I can't read the spoilertext with my mobile phone.
 
What the fuck is this? Looks like some yoai high school boys emo drama with them crying in the rain and playing music instruments, don't tell me this the anime Watanabe is working on, I celebrated before clicking the link :(

Yeah that definitely sounds like real noitaminA.
 
Apollon

There is only a single chapter translated. You can't gleam much from that single chapter.

-set in highschool
-emo main lead
-yoai incounter with tons of yoai shots( there also some in the pv)
-token girl to get in the way of yoai love

-from pv crying in the rain

what more do i need to know?, it already pretty much lost me at highschool.

The chance of it not taking place in highschool is very slim.

If you'll excuse the caps - YAOI!!!!! IT'S SPELT YAOI!!!!

Also...
Kaoru, the "emo" one, falls in love with Ritsuko. Ritsuko is in love with Sentarou, the big one in the stripey shirt. Yes, they'll probably play up the slash - but this is a josei manga, it's to be expected.

But but but your Myanimelist says you're watching Honey and Clover this does not compute (alright, H&C is college, but it's the same target audience as Apollon)

A series can be about a high school student and not be about "high school". Hajime no Ippo is about a shy high school student - but it's really about boxing. Sakamichi no Apollon looks to be about high school students - but I think jazz will be more important.

40 page first chapter takes place in highschool, in the genre title it says highschool,slice of life and the main characters only connection is that there all classmates, chances are it's going to take place in highschool, my bets are there going to enter the music club in school together.


I dropped honey and clover at ep 13 after the show refused to go anywhere and the characters began to annoy me (beautiful sound track but goes nowhere).
 
Doujin Crown 14:

This show's writing is all kinds of stupid. It's like they hired a 14 year old doujin writer to contrive all this bullshit.
 
I'mmmmm HOOOOOOOOMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!

Time for CCS.
ITS HNNNNG TIME.

Also, people are sending me PM's pleading for me not to watch Guilty Crown. I appreciate your concerns but I am very strong. I will defeat it. I am not a penguin to be trifled with.
 
Kill Me Baby - 4

mpc-hc2012-01-2714-22s5egf.jpg


I don't know but this show makes me happy. And episode 4 was pretty decent with some great jokes.
 
CCS 40

Man I want to play giant whack-a-mole.
Also
Syaoran
is getting to be quite popular.
Sakura goes to the movies and Tokyo Tower and
gets caught in a Dream World
.
That
recurring dream with Mrs Mizuki in it happens again
What does it mean?
 
One of the track names on the Guilty Crown soundtrack is a terrible/amazing pun: gエ19. Not that hard to figure out, but they get points for creativity.
 
Guilty Crown 14
tumblr_lyfajnSA211qib75jo1_250.gif

Shu got even more epic wow. Stunning episode already for the second half. Love the direction his character has gone.
Darly should defect already, someway. Anyway, as president he is one step closer to leading Undertakers. I cant wait to see how ingenious the voids get available to him at the school.
. They made the school environment quite enjoyable with everyones interactions, Yahiro definitely became quite a good character, and everyone else.
 
Guilty Crown Episode 14 Spoilers!!!

Better than most episodes, but still horribly filled with stupid stuff.

1. Where are the teachers? Why are there only students in a school environment?

2. Wow, convenient power-level reader just lying around.

3. Daryl... what, are we supposed to side with him now? He's still a psychopath murderer that killed a family in episode 2. I want him dead.

4. Inori killing those 3 students... really? Sure, they were probably creepy "rapist opportunists", but they were fucking kids that believed they could get out if they just found the Undertakers. Why kill them? A beating would've sufficed, but there is no way they are alive after that bloody scene. I just don't get her character. There is no way those kids can lay around dead in those stairs and not starting up a shitstorm when they get found. I'm guessing the writers will "forget about them". Hopefully, if they are dead, it's actually for plot development (her getting more like a crazy killer).

5. The show's atmosphere. I find it very hard to watch this show just because of the bi-polarism. At the beginning we see people getting horribly killed, then suddenly it's a funny moment with Tsugumi, then Inori killing those dudes, then back again. It is simply hard to actually take this show seriously.

6. Students planning to kill the student president? Really? That doesn't make sense, why would they want to kill her just because she can't lead? Stupid writing...

7. Gai being 17 years old (not related to this episode but more in general). How can a leader for a revolution be only 17 years old? Doesn't make any sense at all for his experience and how he can get all those people to back him up when he's just 17.

Anyways, even with this stuff, I'm glad Shu finally manned the fuck up and stopped being a whiny bitch. I also found the whole "powerranking" stuff in the end to be interesting. Seems it really is starting to become the "guilty crown".
 
Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing 13

Half-way through the season. DAMNIT, WHY DOES SHIT HAVE TO GET SO REAL! SHIT GOING DOWN. SHIT GOING DOWN SO HARD. FUKK'N SKY NAZIS, FUKK'N SKY RUSSIANS, FUKK'N SHIT GETTING SO REAL. WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

*pant*pant*

Okay... I think I'm done... Shit... just soooooo reaaaaaal...

Also, I'm starting to suspect that this show is a commentary on American imperialism at this point... A multi-cultured nation with good aspirations and access to a weapon of mass destruction (the Exile) fighting
other countries (and the Russians of all people) with WMDs to take over their territory and cement their world power
, Turan of course being the GLORIOUS NIPPON analog. Fukk'n Japanese WWII nostalgia...
 
Also, has this plot summary been posted before? I noticed it on the English Nicovideo page and don't remember seeing it before.
It isn’t the world you know. There wanders a girl with jet-black hair, ebony clothes, and a strikingly blue, glowing eye. Her name is Black Rock Shooter. With a huge cannon in hand, she throws herself into a fierce battle…

Meanwhile, in another world, middle-school student Mato Kuroi is drawn to Yomi Takanashi, her classmate with an unusual family name. Mato does her best to talk to Yomi, who just won’t open up. Yu Koutari mocks her best friend Mato’s efforts but at the same time, supports her. Mato also finds herself surrounded by other colorful characters at school, like the eccentric school counselor, Saya Irino, and the hot-blooded captain of her club club, Arata Kohata.

Then, one day, the window of opportunity opens. After Mato sees that Yomi has her favorite picture book, “Li’l Birds At Play”, they strike up a conversation and Mato is invited to come over to Yomi’s house. There, they gradually break the ice, until a girl in a wheelchair appears. This is Yomi’s best friend, Kagari Izuriha…

Two worlds. Mato and Black Rock Shooter. This is the story of their “pain”.
 
Guilty Crown 14

Shu is becoming less of a wimp, this is good but cant see him as a king lol. That power ranking system is smart but may be Shu downfall if Segal gets wind of it.
Also dat OST, Hiroyuki Sawano <3.
 
Weird, no UK license -_-. I guess maybe it'll end up on Anime on Demand?

I'm pretty sure Andrew P has denied it in the past, Neo having previously reported that they were going to be streaming it, though I guess he could have been twisting the truth for contractual reasons.
 
So... simultaneously like Fate/Zero was, isn't? As long as they don't force you the language of subtitles on a regional basis... pretty cool!

I don't really understand what you're saying, but Fate/Zero started streaming the very second the Japanese TV broadcast ended. For Black Rock Shooter there is going to be a delay of a day.
