Blood-C is absolutely getting a rewatch when I can see it all uncensored. Until then, I'm almost at the finish line. No way I can stop now. It's finally, uhh.......hitting its stride.

I can safely say I will never be watching the show uncensored. Not that I'm really in a rush to watch it again.

Then again, it's one of those shows that I'd imagine it would be really difficult to "spoil".



It blows my mind that this came from the same people who made Cardcaptor Sakura and Angelic Layer.

Well they also made X. And the good guys consisted of an adulterous male, a lecher, and a hooker.

In regards to the uncensored glory, the flashing beams of light don't seem so bad anymore.

Is it weird that the picture I'm most disturbed by is the
one with the girl being impaled? Also somewhat surprised that the split was by the leg and not clean down the middle. I guess the anime decided to follow the rules of anatomy somewhat...

fortunately this is becoming more and more a thing of the past... unless you're nintendo and have some weird grudge against people who import games :/
Yep! The dark ages have been left behind... except for the poor Virtual Console users...

Man, now I know you don't have the 'Show 100 Posts Per Page' option selected...

Ko Otani is pretty damn good when he wants to.
But this implies that it's possible for Kow Otani to make bad music.
Exactly! Explain yourself, trejo!

Clearly, CLAMP went for the education approach for
anatomy
.

Arjuna 10:

Now this is the kind of weirdness that I've been wanting out of every episode. Those
colorful psychic forehead ejaculations of emotion
were.........something else. And suddenly,
Tokio's dad works at a villainous bio-engineering lab
? Sinful.

Oh, and it looks like
everyone's fucked thanks to cancer-causing bacteria making it into the water supply. Catastrophic downer ending incoming
?

School Days 10:

WHOAAAAAA THAT ENDING.
SMILE, YOU'RE ON NTR CAMERA.
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU THIS IS GLORIOUS. THIS IS AMAZING.

Blood-C 10:

The show continually upends my theories for what's going on by
killing off everyone involved
. Pretty much the only crackpot idea I'm left clinging to is that
guimauves are soylent green
.

lol at
Saya's love interest getting omnomnomed
a couple of minutes into the episode. Unparalleled trolling.

Getting torn in two by your legs
has got to hurt especially badly when you have CLAMP proportions.

don't worry, it gets much worse

Yeah,
the menacing sounds Kotonoha's bag was making
kind of indicated that, even if I hadn't already known the ending.

See, CCS and Angelic Layer are the odd ones out to me.

You should all watch/read X sometime. Really, you should - not only is the manga beautiful and the TV anime really very good indeed (skip the film, which is just an excuse for lavishly animated fights and gore - I'm sure cosmic would love it!), but it's much more what I think of when I think of CLAMP - glorious twists to make you suffer OH SO GOOD.

These are the people who made a magical girlfriend story (Chobits) where (ENDING SPOILERS)
you screw your robot girlfriend and SHE DIES, because her creator thought no-one should fall in love with someone who isn't human so placed her reset switch in her vagina)
. Their "happy" mahou shoujo series, Rayearth, has a midpoint where (FIRST SEASON SPOILERS)
the Princess they are sent to rescue begs the Magic Knights to murder her, which they are eventually forced to do before being dumped back on Earth
.

If in doubt with CLAMP, expect someone to lose their eye in a very, VERY significant and probably gory way.

Battling internet trolls and Big Sight transforming into a giant robot piloted by a catgirl to a Godannar-styled theme song. I like it

I heard the manga is unfinished and has a cliffhanger, it this true? I remeber that I read the first 10 volumes and liked the first movie but I stopped reading and watching it for some reason.

If he thought no one would fall in love with a non human why did he giver her a vagina?

I only watched the anime. I thought the point was that they would have to remain
celibate
?

Liking every single characters in a series only leads to frustration and sadness.
 
Stellvia of the Universe 5

Hands up if you thought Blitzball in Final Fantasy X was stupid.

I present to you...Astroball;

stellvia5%203.png


Yeah...

Anyway, this was a good episode, physics be damned. The characters are the heart and soul of Stellvia and that shines through yet again. We get to see
the nicer side of the "Big Four". Normally quite aloof, they actively make an effort to get the students motivated for participating in the aforementioned Astroball. Turns out there's a big tournament amongst all the "Foundation"'s schools, of which the Stellvia is one. They promise that the student who does the best at Astroball gets a place in the "Great Mission" (to save humanity), though how the two are connected is never explained (nor indeed, what the "Great Mission" actually entails)

More comedy, more
romantic developments
, more moe chicks everywere (all the other schools have them too!) and more impressive/exciting space-piloting scenes in CGI. Even if there awaits me 21 more episodes of nothing more than that, I'd go away from this show fairly satisfied.

Pretty good, yet pretty FUUUUUuuuuuu for me
I didn't expect Taichi to get stomped on like that AGAIN after last week. Poor guy é_è

I really expected Taichi to continue to be a douche.
But he's like 1% better than before now because of that ending
. Arata is still the best husbando though.

Also, this episode is probably where all the money saved from that recap episode went. It looks like they're ramping up the production for the run up to the end!

So I just dominated my way through all 26 episodes of Nadesico and it's counterpart theatrical film in 2 days, and with it being around 10 years since I last saw the crew of the Nadesico go around their antics and whatnot, I decided to kick back and head down nostalgia lane.

And I'm still fond of it, despite the ending of both the film and series not being quite up to par with the high standard the show definitely provides. The characters, the designs, the comedy and the quirks - I'm pretty sure I haven't watched anything in quite the same league; although Lagrange is quickly becoming a favourite of mine in quite a similar vein. Being hungover for the majority of my viewings has made my brain unable to process some aspects of both the film and show, but for what it's worth, the mindfuck parts of the show are not even the most important. It's about the characters, and that is where Nadesico definitely excels.

I would love to see the story of Nadesico continue, as the ending of the film definitely left the door open for more, but I doubt it's going to happen. I can definitely dream though.

Anyone else watched Nadesico recently, or care to say anything?

It's not like the remnants of Madhosue have anything left to do, besides Peanuts.
