I thought the anime character designs were awful. The light novel art is very pretty.
First reaction of the main Amagami writer upon the announcement of the PlayStation Vita: "bra-unhooking system!"
The guy knows what's up.
What about the power of Kinect?
I need to feel some resistance when I grope, not just the air.
Yeah, I can see how it would be entertaining if they had just focused on a different case. It felt like it kind of switched genres on me midway through.
I should watch the rest, it's only like an hour more.
Black Rock Shooter 4:
The other world is much more compelling in every way (the end bit with Dead Master's army was really cool visually). The unintentional comedy of the real world (it might just be deliberate at this point) is gold. srs bns friendships going on here. Looks like the best parts have already been gif'd.

Lovely
For a series that never got an anime or manga, it is surprisingly popular. That says quite a lot about it.
You have inspired me!
Diebuster 1
This... isn't really Gunbuster.
Why would you do this?
In fact, it reminds me more of FLCL, which I guess reflects the period when it was produced.
Look, it's Haruko's scooter!
This gives me a pretty different vibe from the 80's motivational cheese of Gunbuster. The art is wonderfully expressive and vibrant, and I love Gainax's style of animation at this time. They never could have made something that looked like this before. But I feel like the visual storytelling in this episode was at its strongest in the pre-title card sequence up to Nono's job.
I don't like Nono. Maybe I'm being unfair by comparing it to Gunbuster, but she's a weird caricature of Noriko. She talks about hard work and guts while not really doing much of anything. And (perhaps as a symptom of how things have changed in the 20 years since Gunbuster) she's presented in a rather... different way than anybody was in this show's predecessor.
Many things have changed in the future, but not the allure of maid waitresses.
I do like it a lot, but it's not really a sequel, at least in terms of tone. Gainax was a different studio in the 80s then they are here, and the show reflects that. It's a nicer aesthetic, but while I felt like Gunbuster tried to ground itself in something resembling actual society with something resembling human characters, everything here is more in service to the spectacle.
It's some nice spectacle, though.
It's a pretty exciting start, but I'm not sure if I'm getting as much from it. It's definitely too early to make firm judgments about the show.

...What is it with this show and macaroons?
Symbolism. . . . I think.

I would really like to pick up Naoki Urasawa's Monster on DVD, but I do not want to just have the first fifteen episodes and then...nothing more. I know I could buy all of the episodes digitally, but I would rather have a physical copy.
I have read that Viz has no plans to release any more DVD box sets, so am I pretty much out of luck in seeing more of the series on DVD? I would completely support and purchase a limited edition run of the complete series, but I do not see that occurring.

You know the projects have the same director right? And some shared staff in general.
I watch things slowly, but I'm definitely not bailing. Even if this winds up being 50% of FLCL, that'd still make it pretty awesome in my eyes. FLCL is my favorite show of all time.
I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me in the least, especially given some of the explicit callouts to that show in the first episode alone.
I think if I put the Gunbuster comparisons out of my head, I'll enjoy it more going forward.
Hellsing OVA 9
Yep, it sure is Hellsing alright. It's just as ridiculously gory, convoluted, over the top and cheesy as it's ever been.

just think of the possibilities with the Vita touchscreen and the rear touchpad!

Bakuman 2 ep 21
Cant believe this seasons almost down. A shame they fell on to a predictable plot development
, but it was still epic. I think right up there with Sket Dance for my favorite ~long-running series as of late. Saiko had nice poses, and nice One Piece love.
Seems Otter 11 will get some anime treatment next episode, hope its on par with Detective Trap and Crows anime.

...that's what's happening? I think I'm even more confused now.
But does it still look as good?
Just accept it.
it doesn't look anywhere near as poorly upscaled as the first couple of OVA's did so i'd say it looks even better!
Wow, inadvertently you just brought to mind how long it's been since I've started watching/ or seen any of those OVAs. I own...the third volume, I think, on dvd. The thought of HD hadn't even crossed my mind, lol.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Ano Natsu de Matteru 08
Another solid episode. Decent progression, I got my second MARU! dosage of the week, and not to mention dat Remon trolling and the ending was good. I'm really looking forward to the end of this series because I have a lot of faith that it'll end well. It's just pleasant.

Feel weird that Amagami is my first near instant rewatch.
I don't know why I enjoyed it as much as I have.

Thanks Rurouni, but it was more of a small pop in since I'm still having internet woes. I'll be back soon for good though.
Someone will need to work the camera though.

Taking a break from a show where the characters think they don't have friends, to one where they know they have nakamas.
Persona 4 19
It's just a long meaningful gaze.
So, fun episode involving the culture festival and blah, blah, blah. I like how they choose the less terrible Sun social link and I guess completely ignore the existence of the other girl. And, by cramming it all into a chunk of the episode, they made it slightly more enjoyable than having to deal with it over the course of 10+ events. I do like how Daisuke since they decided to go for the other guy and they added more Lovers social link but I was hoping that Rise's persona would evolve from that.

Weren't the Hellsing OVAs recomposited in HD?
I take it you haven't seen the first series?
Must be the back knee bellybutton kissing with a dash of Ramen. I'm surprised SS+ so far doesn't have those 'moments' which a exception of the tummy sleeping.

Correct, sir.
So is that when you're joining Gundamu-GAF?
welcome back ezalc
The first 5 OVA's seemed to be for the BD's according to duckroll and unless my memory's failing me it really didn't stop the lineart from looking janky as fuck for the most part.

Change this. If the kneepit licking is getting to you this much, I have to see your reaction to some of the other stuff!
you know what needs to be done!
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
The original Eureka Seven is very overrated, and I actually like that show.Here, I'll make it easy for you. When people like something I don't, it is overrated!
It's really enjoyable. I'd highly recommend it.
It's a very good show, deff. worth checking out.
edit: i'm pretty sure it's still up for streaming on youtube or funi's own website so you could check it out there

I didn't find it very entertaining.
It has some sweet moments however with a sweet message, so mileage may vary for you. No reason to not try it out.
