Sailor Jupiter!
And yep, I think I like the derpiness of the main heroine. She's too much like Usagi for me not to like her ditziness/stupidity. I might actually be all in for this show.

Smile Precure 04:
CURE MARCH AWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHHH.
Peace is still the HNNNNNNNGest, but March is the total package and is easily best Cure. Badass? Check. Oneesama? Check. Tall, green, and kinda masculine like Sailor Jupiter? Check. Has an especially awesome power? Check. Wears military fatigues and short shorts as casual wear? That's one big Check.
Just look at that expression. "FUCK YEAH, I'M A PRECURE."
I love this show.

From the top of my head: Mardock Scramble, Genocyber if you want really fucking brutal and depressing oldschool shit, Ninja Scroll (the movie, not the anime). You're welcome. And don't watch Eureka Seven unless you're twelve years old and/ or a virgin. It won't make a lick of sense otherwise. And watch Birdy the Mighty: Decode. Everyone should watch Decode. And Redline.

My second favorite void, and third favorite character whose void that came from. beautiful.
Rinne no Lagrange 08
That was a pretty enjoyable episode, and there was really no lack of anything happening really. There was a ton of information and progress in that episode, and i'm gradually getting more excited for the finale of the first half. There's a ton going on here from all factions and people, and some of the relationships between some of the characters is starting to get pretty interesting, especially their motives at specifically who everything is between.
There's still more to be revealed here though, as it almost seems like Lan
The chairman talking
Judging from the preview, the next episode doesn't look to be as good as this one, but they have yet to have an episode where something important isn't said/the universe is expanded/the plot progresses/more information is revealed, so i'm at least confident that things will still progress next week as well.
Also, Lan's
Also, dat blushing, demon, hnnggggghhhhhhhhhhhh, storm, group hug, hnnngghhhhhh. My goggles are on even though it's been said that there is none of that here.

's brother and want to take the Voxes, but what for is unknown at this time other than they want to force the blossoming of Rin-ne to happen sooner than later. I'm curious as to what exactly the blossoming will accomplish, though it's obviously related to the legend.
Also, the explanation of the population of the universe is pretty interesting as well, including the past history of civilization on Earth and in the universe. With the foundation kinda laid now, I hope we get more information about the formation of each of the galactic powers in more detail.

The chairman talking
with Kiss at the end was interesting too in that it seems that the chairman just wants the the Lagrange to never blossom. The thing that isn't explained here yet is a point of contention right now. Are Kiss and Moid+King both after the same thing? If so, why not work together? The only thing I could think of is that it's possible to use the blossoming as a weapon to help wipe out a race of people or blow up a planet, potentially using it as a superweapon. The motives behind all that intrigues me as well, and i'm interested to see where it goes. Additionally, getting Madoka's cousin involved is going somewhere too, and she'll be more privy to information.
I was also kinda pleased with the way Madoka approached the end situation, and she seemed really mature and cool-headed to make the decision she did and act the way she did. You could see the regret she has, but she realizes the situation and isn't acting in the heat of the moment, which I liked. Despite her usually genkiness, she's still rational about the situation she's in.

wan getting explained was awesome. I honestly thought they were just doing it for a character quirk (which well, it still is), but the reasoning behind it was great/funny.

Should I put Redline in one line with School Days and co? I mean I could only watch the first 20 minutes because it was so bad.
That's a problem with you, not Redline.
Eureka Seven episode 5
The entire episode consisted of Renton getting trolled, pretty fillerish stuff, apart from vague hintings of the connection between
Holland and Renton
If Cure March has stirred something within your heart, it's too late.
Wtf am I reading.
The first 10 minutes of Redline was bad? Really?
Oh god and her precure costume has spats too?
It's like if Jupiter and Kanbaru had a baby. I wouldn't put it past Kanbaru to somehow pull that off either!
They all have spats. Yes 5 had spats as well.
No, you should just hang your head in shame.
Redline is animation for the animation's sake. It's style over substance, sure, but it's absolutely amazing if you like animation. It's just exceptional craftsmanship. It's not about what's on display, it's all about how it's displayed, and nothing comes even remotely close in that regard.
Not knowing these things is a GOOD sign, right?
Ugh. Are we back in the 1940s?

Yes. You still have some hope inside of you.
style = it looks great.
substance = it doesn't have much.
I honestly have no idea why this bothers you so much.
Style can be substance though.
darkside31337
Tomodachi wa Mahou
Sure. It's just a saying anyway, there is no reason to get so upset about it.
Redline is visually stunning, it's beautiful in every sense of the word. And yet it's really not a good movie due to the actual content of the film. It has plenty of style and it has no substance.
Depth would be the better term, I'm sure.
"Depth" is what exactly?
What is this "substance" and why does a movie need it to be good? I need answers.
Substance.
Huh? I don't think the "style over substance" approach is bad. And I think it's true - even though I actually think Redline has some substance. And (consciously) watching anime for almost two decades, I love the movie. Everything about it. But the presentation is it's greatest asset by far. Animation, character and mechanical designs, sound - everything about the presentation is simply exceptional.
I like this guy.

Zzzzz exposition.
Still, I can't believe they made a Top Gun reference.

Style over substance is an inherently negative term, though. It's also contradictory given that style is substance.
But you can't have substance without style..

Best rookie in animegaf by far.
Narratological depth, which is a substance 'stlye' can't be. Any good movie needs it, imo.

Japan is in love with our 80's culture.
This is an incredibly narrow view/belief on things.
Right, master. Do you actually have anything to say, or am I supposed to just believe that statement to be absolute?

Tomodachi wa Mahou
Kind of like you refusing to even try to acknowledge what wsippel was getting at when he used the phrase.
No, it's not inherently negative. That's just stupid. And I don't know what we're arguing about, anyway. I said I love the movie, and recommended it. You have a Sonoshee avatar, so I'll simply assume you love the movie as well.
Film is too varied, dynamic, and open for possibilities for what you said to be true. You can do a lot of things with film that don't involve depth in narrative and still be an accomplished piece of art, ie - a good movie.
I dislike use of bad phrases like that. Sorry for jumping out at you even if we feel the same way!

It was a little bit like watching an anime version of the real action Speed Racer movie only worse. And Speed Racer is already no masterpiece.

But speed racer was a masterpiece of cinema!
You're still stating with the expectation that I just believe. Ineffective. What kind of possibilities are we looking at? If you're going to run around calling viewpoints shallow, you need to do more than voice ego when backing it up.

Thats messed up. Somebody might believe one of your lies one of these days.
Smile Precure is the premiere anime for those of us with an appreciation for spats. What are you waiting for?
