I too hope Junichi gets his prenup before he marries each girl. Although I'm not even sure if they have those in Japan.

I was pleasantly surprised with how well the art and animation was in this episode. Everything seemed to flow so well.
Cute, not hot.
I know, I meant to say simultaneously for all the subtitled streams within that channel, I was not referring to TV broadcasts. And I see you can still change the preferred language, seeing that relation in the news article between languages and regions made me think at first on some kind of restriction implemented...
From what I saw, Fate/Zero Spanish subtitles were a bit... awkward.
The milf version is.
I don't think
they're necessarily dead. It could be that she beat them to a bloody pulp. If she did in fact kill them, it might be a deeper issue that could be brought to the surface later (but then again, I might be given them too much credit...)
Anyway,
Guilty Lord Of The Crown Flies 14
Can't wait to see how they rush/trainwreck this arc!

Guilty Crown 14
Shu got even more epic wow. Stunning episode already for the second half. Love the direction his character has gone.. They made the school environment quite enjoyable with everyones interactions, Yahiro definitely became quite a good character, and everyone else.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.
Yeah seriously, Shu is taking major levels in badass. Even if it takes the entire show, I will be ecstatic if he turns into Simon.
That she was there first, and Junichi is running after these other girls behind her back?
He's been abducted
by this person called Uchip
we just haven't realised it yet.

It really isn't a bad show. I can't comprehend people actually PMing someone to not watch it even if they aren't a fan. This isn't like Eiken or Yami or something. Some people clearly like it.
Aside from the HS setting, that list fits Samurai Champloo. Don't go burning shrines just yet, lol.
...I am so mad I just read this.

Oh! Edo Rocket 26:
Glorious. I'm so glad I got to see this unique experience. The finale managed to give a good amount of closure while also going in some pretty unexpected directions. I have to say that I really didn't expect it to end that way, but it felt completely in line with the series up to that point. Just the right mix of comedy and serious character moments, and a good use of the setting, too.

Well at the pace their going, Shou will most likely turn out that way in like two episodes or even the next.
Thermae Romae 3/4
What a fun show.
They're not trying very hard (it's Gonzo, after all), but it's coasting for me on the quality of the premise. That can count for a lot. I like seeing Lucius in Japan.
I'm rooting for it the way I rooted for Ben-to, and while Ben-to is the better show, this is delivering what it promised, so I'm glad I decided to watch it.

You should just spoiler the whole thing before it's too late...

RE: Inori
The 'wedding ceremony' probably corrupted her or afflicted her with whatever made Mana go crazy.
edit:
The kids are so stupid.
Shuu and company openly demolished a mech and armed mercenaries, yet they think they'll get shit done with only a handgun? The would be rapists seem to be inserted into the episode to remind us of wheelchair moe, and how dark the series wants to be.

Episode didnt need that to be dark to be honest, since it openly massacred people yet again, and one knows its dark when even Daryl feels bad about it. I imagine handgun guy may have a role in the future, since it seemed he wanted to be president.
Sorry, I had to sleep after episode 40. Work is fucking exhausting. Not physically, but mentally so.
Anyway so this was kind of a two parter...

I certainly know that many fans of the 'harder, grittier' Lupin weren't impressed by Miyazaki's portrayal of him, and of course Cagliostro wasn't a success when it originally aired in theatres.

I think you have to accept that no-one was trying to kill it off, it was essentially committing suicide by becoming like every other block of anime programming.

What are you implying?
But what do those words even mean?
In all seriousness, unlike Watanabe's other projects, I just can't picture this being a big success internationally.

Are you preparing to don a monocle, cajunator?
I think it is just trying to survive.
The only way to do that IS to become like every other block of anime programming.
I dont care who is making it. It could be made by some terrible director and I would still enjoy it.
I don't even know who is directing most of the anime I watch and I don't care. It is about the HNNNG. And maybe the story too.
In this case I'm just saying that Watanabe and Kanno doesn't mean that a great show is a given. Just tempering people's expectations I suppose.
R.I.P Geneon USA. Nobody's around to license it a year beforehand.
This. Broship has always been Watanabe's central theme. To have an issue with the aesthetic is a valid concern, but I have the feeling, from that trailer alone, that much of it is going to be as badass as either Bebop or Champloo.

I don't expect to see any major changes in the industry as a whole, there's just a new group that's actually producing the kind of thing thing I personally want to see. Still, there's been good titles released every year, despite numerous claims to the contrary.
It's probably not that hard to watch Samurai Champloo through yaoi goggles, I have no inclination to test this, though.
Even if Apollon has bromance, I at least expect it to be classy.
Jex
Member
Yeah, but Western audiences also want the cool action and fight scenes and all that stuff as well as the very stylish direction. This seems inherently more niche than his other projects. It's (unsurprisingly) much closer to Baby Blue.

Well, only the ones that also blow because they look old.Then again, new shows suck because they're too moe.
At least you were watching the right kind of show!
The writing was definitely on the wall. I imagine, and I don't have to imagine hard as he's even hinted at this in past interviews, the whole reason he's doing an adaptation vs an original work this time around is the general dearth of funding for classy/stylized, non-otaku works without the already established audience of interested manga readers. It's the one reason I mentioned Geneon, as they're not around to dampen the blow to the wallet this time around.
Episode 38 has the most adorable song ever.
You have almost caught up to me!

Watanabe's past projects have been hits because they've had Western appeal in mind more than almost any other anime ever. Outside the element of jazz, which is pretty niche today even in the country of its birth, Apollon has none of that. Hence the reception is relatively muted for being "the next project from the Cowboy Bebop guy".
Jex

How do you feel about really shiny, greasy women? And horsemen milking them? Because that's the kind of classy thing Shirow likes.
Morality is universal!
Well, yes, that's exactly what I meant, except that you've used far more words than I. Show off!
Still, I don't think Watanabe's other projects were hits simply because they were designed to appeal to the West - lots of other shows have gone that route before and failed miserably. Of course, those titles all lacked Watanabe's great sense of style.
It is, but laws are different too.
Some places, the legal age is as low as 13 or 14.
Morality/ethics do come into play there but you can legally do what you want if you so choose.
Nobody's going to fund a western-centric show.

Well, of course. The anime bubble in the West has burst, and I don't see that ever coming back.

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
Awesome, isn't it?
Well, I dunno about that. One of the themes for Apollon's setting is that it's a Japanese coastal town in the 60s which is heavily influenced by American culture. It's definitely going to be a much more accessible concept internationally, compared to something like K-On.
Edit: If I see "yoai" one more time, I'm going to lose it.

You know, there's nothing inherently wrong with highschool as a setting, right? I mean, lots of lazy, poorly made anime are set in highschool, but they aren't poorly made and lazy shows because higschool is the setting.
