Wasn't the original Star Wars a wholesale rip-off of some Samurai movie as well?

Kakushi Toride no San aku nin by Akira Kurosawa.

I don't think its that much of a ripoff. There's a princess in exile that some bandits need to save and take to this other place and the main bad guy looks like Darth Vader.

Orphanages that have kept unbilocal cords for 16-17 years is a scary thought
I forgot the level of crazy Mirai Nikki gets before it went really crazy.

The serious drama parts really drag the overall quality of the show. :(

I always assumed she did commit suicide. I mean, it didn't even make sense as an accident!

Exactly! But the show goes out of it's way to make it an accident bu making the flowers blow out of her hand and Rei jumping for them.... Then the whole police investigation stuff to disprove the suicide theory.


Man, what the heck are you saying about that awesome opening?

I can't stand it. :P

Eh, I dunno... it was just weird how the
she just turns straight after all of that
. It puts a pall over the entire series - I think I would have been happier if they were just
close friends
and left it at that.

I did find that kind of jarring as well,
also the fact that they make an effort in trying to turn Rei into a manly character in the eyes of Nanako; a pseudo-justification for it not being a homosexual relationship
. Maybe we can just blame it on being a confused teen or something, but that seems like a cop-out.
 
Thanks again, man! At this rate, I definitely will have to obtain those... that is a good job they've made!

That reminds me, does Gothic Made still exist? Are they finished drawing every rain drop yet?
Last news was that it's supposed to release this spring.
Yeah, no changes since that information came out (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=30533191#post30533191) and on the official site still figures that time-frame (http://gothicmade.com/). Mr. Nagano is preparing for that moment, gearing up for it, as the man is unleashing a social media exposition/self-promotion campaign with recent accounts made on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/naganomamoru), twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/naganomamoru/), Google+ (https://plus.google.com/108000794999180772186/posts) and mixi (http://page.mixi.jp/view_page.pl?page_id=224801). Add to all that a recently introduced 'podcast' program (http://itunes.apple.com/jp/podcast/mamo-shin/id499743001), with episodes also available on a "special DVD" included with the latest issue of Newtype magazine, to inform regularly about the status of the project.

Oh! And some days ago they put up on sale various products for Comiket 81 (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=33936833&postcount=1610)... keeping all this in mind, maybe that was really a date set in stone...
and I'll continue telling myself that.
 
Black Rock Shooter 1-3

It's actually better than what I thought it'd be reading some comments on here. It's... entertaining. I liked the heart scar in episode 2, and the jealousy in episode 3? Delicious!
Will keep watching.
 
Mirai Nikki 19

Ah the joys of actually watching a series completely blank and be left guessing until the revelation. Also got to hand it to Yuno's new revelation, I mean
sure it was bad enough that you supposedly killed your own parents, but to find out that the person you are claiming to be is already dead? Fuck yeah! :D
 
Mirai Nikki

Haha, you guys ain't seen shit yet. Shit hasn't even begun to get really, really, really real. So far it's only really really real.

Before the end it gets really, really, really, really real. And then after that it gets even more real. Seriously.

Glad to hear it, I hope the anime will stay faithful to the spirit of the source material. =)
 
Nisenmonogatari ep 7

"Make sure you don't fall in love. It'll be incestuous."
"I'm already in love, Nii-chan."
With my sister!

Holy crap at Koyomi's teasing of his sisters at the end. And they didn't even have any retorts of it.
 
Aquarion Evol - 08

How can we top Rinne no Langrange from yesterday?

I know! How about actually piloting the mecha's while naked.

My god man, you're a genius!
 
One fails to grasp how fast AnimeGAF moves until you do not visit the thread for five days. I see cosmic jumped off a cliff during that time.

Sougo and Nobume's S&M game with the terrorists came out nowhere. Anpan. Kondo; nooo, not the pole!
 
Bodacious Space Pirates 1

Silly is the apt word for the first episode and yet i enjoyed it (wouldn't have minded to eat a choco parfait too). Female protagonist blushing as she looks at another girl and thinks she's a beauty? My yuri interest will have me keep on watching!

If you like that kind of yuri hinting, you should love Pirates. And, Pirates is a legitimately good show anyway!
 
What's the opinion on Fairy Tail if I was a major fan of Rave Master? Yay or nay on this series? Thinking about purchasing the first volume from Amazon.
 
Peanuts is awesome und famous in asia, so maybe we will see a fine short film with the spirit of the original.

Martian Successor Nadesico - 10

beach, harem, mecha fights, yandere and Ryoko. And this all in 20 minutes.
 
Ultimate Girl 1


I watched this show solely on the recommendation of the late Cajunator, so he takes all the blame for this.


To start with, our trio of female highschool students (so original) are enjoying a leisurely walk in the park, when a giant rubber-suit godzilla-esque monster appears.

And then there's a super classy ED.

I'm not sure why they bothered being classy at all, considering this is the kind of show that gives anime a bad name.


hooray, someone besides me enduring this horror. The transformation sequence is really bad to stand out in a sea of naked lolis :|
 
Steins;Gate 10-13

Well, fuck me. I saw it coming 10 episodes ago, but still.

The whole of Episodes 12's ending sequence had me on the edge of my seat. So well done! :D

Steins;Gate 14

Now that I didn't see coming.


But I should've.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised as well. I really liked the explanations given in this episode about what's going on and why.
 
Anime Network is putting up the Broken Blade movies up on their site for streaming. Worth it? I need some good mecha anime to tide me over until the next Gundam Unicorn/Rebuild of Eva release.
 
Bakemonogatari

I'm on episode 4 right now. I'm trying to like this show but my god there is a ton of nonsensical blabbering in it and it gets boring real quick. At least some parts where entertaining, such as when Araragi beat up that elementary school girl lol.

[Rinne no Lagrange - 7]

I'm wondering if the creators of the show every, really, decided what this shows tone would be and who it's target audience would include. Is it -

A) A fluffy, light-hearted show about about the friendship between three young girls who occasionally fight in giant robots. As the show is kind of silly and dumb it doesn't really matter how believable or fleshed out the characters are.

Audience: Males and females of all ages.

B) A more serious show about the friendship between three girls amidst the backdrop of an intergalactic war. As this is a serious show the girls have to have back-story and their characters have to be fleshed out in a believable way.

Audience: 12 – 15 year olds.

C) A strange mix of A and B, but with enough creepy and shoehorned in fanservice scenes to give the otaku something to draw doujins about.

Audience: oaku.

I want to see that girl in a comedy episode. She has potential.
