The booklet also has a lot of talk on the process and production of it all. I haven't taken the time to read it yet, but it looks pretty great.


Hmm...
To watch Macross Plus or Project Hades Zeorymer next... I think I'll probably watch PHZ, in case it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, so I can have MP save me.

Dang it, hurry up Wednesday, I need to watch another Puella Magi Madoka Magicka.

Zeorymer is decent, I wasn't a huge fan of the ending but the same could be said of many anime that I have seen. Out of the two Macross Plus is probably the one you would want to watch first.

16k for Milos. Is that a bomba?

Also, Squid Girl bomba.

It's not great at all for a big movie based on a popular franchise. In general a successful anime movie should be able to sell 80-120k at least. Movie sales are generally expected to be higher because it is a one time investment rather than an on-going series, and that usually means a larger range of potential consumers.

Is 5,800 good or bad overall sales for Hellsing Ultimate IX?

Definitely bad on a whole, but for Hellsing Ultimate it is normal. The series doesn't sell much and that's what it does on average.

I wonder how Fate/zero's first volume sales will be. 30k+?

There is no first volume. It is being sold as a blu-ray season box coming out in March.

And is this the final one or is there another left?

There is one more left.

Some of the jokes dragged on a bit this episode, but all you need to know is.

Literature girl skits are forever awesome!!!

Holy fuck,they combine the first skits of ep 1 & 2 to make a epic adventure tale!

And Takahiro Sakurai(Masakazu Morita?) Itou Shizuka joins in the cast. For a gag show,they sure have big name seiyuus joining in.

Goddamn, this anime is disturbing. The death at the beginning and the dream sequence were hard to watch. I still really love it though. I'm also glad MC and Mei aren't being ignored anymore. It's going to feel weird for there to be a beach episode right after all of the deaths we've seen.

Sunrise really went all out with voice casting, best part of the show.

I agree completely, and that balance is a funny one; Yuasa is a great example here. Some say he masturbates on the screen, some say his messages come poignant. I personally align with the latter camp, but can see how some would see it other way.

What an interesting time to bring up Yuasa.

Tatami Galaxy 9

Dammit Master Higuchi. I had managed to derive this message in the previous episode without anyone having to say, "You know, this is the message of Tatami Galaxy," but then you have to come along and be like that.

Maybe it was inevitable that this would occur. The structure of the show has its limits, after all, and I'm kind of amazed it's gone on this long without completely and totally nosediving somewhere. With the possible exception of 6-8, each episode has found an original path to follow that gives a different perspective on the "rose-colored campus life" of the protagonist. And though they may all have lessons of one kind or another, I feel like, in general, I've been respected as a viewer, in terms of being given the freedom to draw my own conclusions.

So Higuchi popping up and doing that was pretty disappointing. And there's still two episodes to go. I may have to dial my expectations for the conclusion down a bit.

Looking forward to
hikkikomori protagonist

Imouto has a name!

Literature Girl returns!

The post-credits girl scenes are stealing this show, as per usual. The key to a high school boy's heart is to be cute and stupid apparently!

Ha! Literary girl skits! Better known as, when keeping it cool goes very wrong
Dat slipup

The DQ skit was aight. I always have a chuckle to give towards JRPG tropes being parodied out.

Poor Mitsuo can't get a break.

Funky High School Girls as usual is the bomb.
When keeping it "girl" goes wrong

This episode was on the weak side but the ending skit was great.

Dat metahumor.

I'm getting my Oshii on harder than ever - my copy of Stray Dog of Anime - The Films of Mamoru Oshii has arrived. I haven't actually read any reviews of this book, by Carl Horn said it was cool. I guess that's enough for me.

Heh, even the show can't figure out a good abbreviation for itself. Too bad Nichibros only works in English slang.

Maybe it's true that they really do need the girls as foils for the guys, since most of the guy-only skits this week were sort of weak. The zipper trick was pretty good though.

It's pretty much the nicest boxset of anything I've ever laid hands on. Even the plastic of the dvd cases looks and feels different from standard fare. (or maybe I'm delusional, both are likely)

I feel much the same way about my Patlabor set. Honneamise put out some really, really nice stuff.

If its a true beach episode then I've lost all respect for this show. It will be just a mere shadow of Higurashi.
 
Afaik the novel or the manga don't have a beach chapter, so it could be just a daydream segment like the dancing in the class last week. And no one should die because the curse is only active in the village.

After 15 years, the plottwist is still one of the best in the anime history. I guess I will watch the other 8 episodes in a row now.
 
To be fair, he was saying FMA (the brand) has lost it's relevance now. Not that it wasn't once good, or great even.

Maybe compared to the big 3 but its still quite recognizable. I mean its not like people will just forget about FMA a year after it finishes.

Doing someone he barely knows right in the room next to Kotonoha
? Shameless. But when you're that popular
and that horny
, do you really have a choice? Makoto is simultaneously a man's man and a callous, gutless piece of shit.
