I'm so happy Tiger and Bunny is selling well.

Maybe they'll be given a decent budget to work off of when they make an inevitable TV sequel. (I already know about the movie)

The good news is I introduced a friend to School Days and in return they showed me TRON Legacy, which is a really great movie..

When I showed it to my one friend, he texted me telling me to go fuck myself, and then didn't talk to me for like 2 days.

Oh it was so much fun. I needed revenge for him making me watch Elfen Lied though.

Completely agreed. They gave us the greatest MC I could've ever hoped for and the social link episodes are awesome.

It's really amazing and a fantastic treat for P4 fans. Getting me hyped for Golden. It's like night and day after that abomination that was Trinity Souls. Probably the best instance of silent protagonist--->talking protagonist I've ever seen, though I guess that isn't saying much (lol, CD-I Link).

It's pretty amazing how Perfect Blue was Kon's first feature length movie considering what a fully-formed work it is. I certainly prefer it to this final work, Paprika, in nearly every area.
Click to expand...
I understand what you are saying, but... doesn't saying "final" (unlike late) implicates the author is aware of that situation and works with it in mind? On occasions the premise is even based around that notion, with probably a certain last message to share present. Anyway, Dreaming Machine (夢みる機械) will be his final, posthumously released work.
Don't quote me on that, please.

Lets just say they enjoy that little 'brother and sister moment' to a great extent. Also, the fetish proved to be more popular than I first thought the moment I read that.
 
I have recently been watching Natsume season 4 and so far it is much better than the previous seasons. It isn't anything like the first season but it an improvement compared to season 2 and 3. So if people are burned out on the bad seasons I would those in doubt to give this season a chance. I just hope the episodes keep being good because Episode 4 was very nice.
 
Kill Me Baby 2-4

I don't know what ABF was on about, Episode 3 was great, especially after
Unused Character
showed up. It was also strangely :cajun~. Sonya holding that stuffed bunny gave me the strangest hnnnng and UC at the end, man, I felt for her. That needs to be made a .gif, but instead of "It's Impossible" they should make the sign read "NOPE" or something.

All in all, this show is stupid, OH so stupid, but so is Always Sunny in Philadelphia, more so than this show, and people seem to like that show too.

Moretsu Pirates 4

Finally got around to this one. Really great episode. Good jargon pacing, explanation of basics, etc., and they managed to give us a taste of what's to come the next episode. They're doing a great job of whetting my appetite for the next episode every week. If it keeps building like this, I'm gonna go mad from the weekly waits! And this week, ACTION! :D
 
Guilty Crown cd with the theme song collections is nice, yet another version of Departures (never gets old) and Re.L are the best songs on it.

The Maji Love 1000% - 2012 edition song is pretty catchy, I love all versions of that song, wonder what 2nd season of Uta no Prince Sama will use.

Lastly, the Rinne no Lagrange instrumental to Try Unite is fantastic and the full song.
 
Thank you AnimeGaf for all the Star Trek talk injected into the conversations as of late. It's been great seeing it discussed here.

Cowboy Bebop Episode 1

S’alright, didn’t blow me away or anything but I see the promise. The music is amazing though.
Click to expand...

Cowboy Bebop was the first anime series I purchased in entirety. This was back in the early 2000's, long before I purchased anime online. I should consider my self lucky I was able to purchase the complete set. For months I was unable to watch discs 5-6 as discs 3-4 never seemed to be in stock. When I finally saw them, I didn't hesitate.

I always like the design of the DVD covers and discs. They have this simple, yet cool look. To me, the fist Bebop DVD is the best "introduction disc" I've seen in any anime to date. The episodes introduce most of the main cast while presenting the stories in a nice variety of genres and styles. "Ballad of Fallen Angels" is the perfect episode to cap off the disc, it leaves you wanting more.
 
The Daily Lives of High School Boys 4

Haha... can't... haha... can't breath... hahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

SOOOOO BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
 
Danshi Koukousei no Nichijooooooou!!! Ep 4
Yeah Ringo! Give Tabuki a good whacking! I love how this show takes opportunity to bash highschool girls. Karasawa is awesome not giving a shit and tossing down chocolate.
 
Nichi Bros - 04

I like how they changed the perspective to a girl's for most of the episode, yet the humor was still great. Dat range.

The last skit was so good, wasn't expecting Karasawa to throw sweets when he came back LOL
 
Not sure if figure talk can go in here (they're based off of anime characters so I guess so), but I got two new nendos through the post today. So cute. ^^

According to retailers, the Infinte Stratos LN series is finally cancelled.

From the looks of it, the entire franchise has been canned. I guess the world has been spared of a second season of the anime.

And so the world has righteously rid itself of a terrible plague of bad media. At the least, it didn't leave us without giving us something to remember it fondly by...

Serious bad blood between the author and the publisher.
Click to expand...

Woah. Any details?

Edit: Found it.
The light novels are being translated into traditional Chinese and the first volume was published and released by Sharp Point Press on November 9, 2010. The Chinese translations of the light novels were originally under an indefinite suspension. Yumizuru cited that Media Factory's overseas representatives were engaging in contracts with foreign publishers without the author's permission as the reason for the suspension. Yumizuru had also stated that he was willing to fight over this matter in court if necessary.

MF, publisher, sold the rights of the foreign edition without consulting the author. The author complained and started "looking for a better publisher". MF finds out about his intentions, gets mad. Deadline for the new novel is missed multiple times. Author makes tweets about hating his life and then deletes them, rumours about cancellation surface. And now it is 100% confirmed that the release of the new novel has been cancelled and that the already released IS novels won't get restocked ever.

Alleged insider info:

Since he has been rolling in money, he only played around and didn't work.
He forced his editor to be changed countless times, like a problem child. The publisher couldn't take it anymore.
He was a golden egg to the company, so throwing him away must have been a big thing.

Holy effing shit. Google couldn't give me that much detail, thanks.

MF is not to be fucked with.
 
This is very disappointing. Guilty Crown is at the exact point at which you can't cry about it being a best seller or make fun of it for being a failure. How boring.

Those are nice!

Have they made any of the girls (TWGOK) that are only from the manga? I'm specifically talking about Sumire and Akari.

That would imply having some actual tension between the main leads. Onegai Teacher is way above silly stuff like drama.
Click to expand...

Please Teacher: childhood friend -> main male lead
male teacher ->female male lead

Ano:top heavy female -> the best friend -> childhood friend ->male main lead

It went from 2 unrequited to 3 unrequited and became some long chain.


Is Infinite Stratos legitimately good or a guilty pleasure at least? Seems like a lot of disappointment in this thread.
 
I personally didn't care at all about Infinite Stratos, but it's always sad to see a story will go unfinished merely due to the arrogance of one person. That's also why, even though I don't care for Shana, I was glad to see it reach a conclusion.
