It's a very good series, definitely worth your time.

Someday they'll make Precure Musou, and I'll never play another game ever again.

 

[PdotMichael]

I'm still flashed of the transformation scenes

 

[Jex]

The fact its self aware means it panders even harder to Otaku.

Otaku sure do love it when it's meta-aware.

HOW IS QUEEN'S BLADE GETTING ANOTHER SEQUEL???

Because it sells well, both in Japan and the US?

Heartcatch Precure - END

So how do I comment on an anime that ended as expected?

Such a delightful series, the characters have enough contrast and energy to them, that makes this show a treat to watch, the transformation sequences are nice to watch albeit feels hella long to sit through (this same person who never skipped a Sailor Moon sequence), definately ramped it up near the end and came into it's own to deliver a glorious finale.

I think I'm going to miss this series, such a vibrance and cheerfulness to it, with quality music used all round, it's like they stole my heart.

Where every attack is just the stock footage video footage.

This game requires zero budget to make!

Misaki was moe as hell in this episode.

My mind is blown that Infinite Stratos is overrated, I thought the title was reserved to good anime.

You mean like how you just rapidly press the attack button continuously?

Sunshine in a girl's school uniform was enough of a reward for me.

I'm still disappointed they didn't show Yuri's smug face.

Nah, I skipped around in the episode afterwards to find his name being said.

Heartcatch Precure was the best magickal girl animu that ended in 2011.

Cure March's transformation was dull.

What the HELL is this?

Alternate universe obviously. I know you guys try not to remember the
movie, but it did set a precedent.

Fun fact: Thanks to Another, i'm always on edge when walking under awnings or near construction zones because I think i'm going to get killed.

Another Karuta centric episode that was a joy to watch, and she really shouldn't have done that bet with Sado. lol

Why? Another is a pretty funny anime! Look at the character design for the OVA:

But... that hair flip!

What is Another about? Is it SoL or horror?

Latest Bleach

Sometime I appreciate about the animation teams behind this. They try to make ichigo's getsuga look different each time. It is tough to make a person's fighting style interesting when he only got 1 move for the entire series. God damn Kubo.

The novel/manga are mystery-thriller. The anime is more a Final Destination + moe.

 

[wsippel]

After all the screens and GIFs, I tried watching Smile Precure. I think I got quite a bit dumber after just a single episode. MLP this is not. And people are honestly asking why there'll be another season of Queen's Blade...?

Each frame is good art. The word 'art' shouldn't have a positive or negative connotation (else we can't have 'bad art') and shouldn't refer exclusively to visual arts, either, while I'm at it.

But is the good art in Honneamise as good as the good art in FLCL?

Precure is pretty much girl sentai. It ain't gonna be some SHAFT mind blowing nonsense.

Don't think. Just absorb.

Oh, Moe Destination. Well I enjoyed Corpse Party... hmmmmmm

 

[Risette]

It ain't gonna be some SHAFT mind blowing nonsense.

I'd hope not, SHAFT is terrible.

Is Smile Precure actually good or like, Precure good? I dunno. But is it good?

I cannot go back to simple hair flips after Heartcatch.

I don't expect (or even like) SHAFT stuff. But this was just... I like cute shit and all, and I like mindless action and comedy, but this was just painful to watch.

It's the power of black & white footage making everything feel more serious.

I just made the connection, but budget issues made both the Gunbuster and Evangelion endings better than they might have been otherwise. Amazing.

There's this one giant dumpster on some rafters outside my school and I always run past it because I think it's gonna fall and kill me everytime I walk by it because it's just sitting there, unsecured. The same goes for the giant lights hanging from the side of the building at the Chicago Public Library.

More rape = more quality.

Gunbuster's ending was drawn in shades of gray and shot on color film. I can't say whether money was an issue in how the final battle was shown, but the choice to make the final episode black and white had nothing to do with cost.

Making it in black and white was purely a stylistic choice. I even read that it caused it to cost more.

They used even for the last both episodes 35mm films, the other 4 episodes are just 15mm films

True art is created in constrained conditions.

yeah, Gunbuster didn't run into budget issues, it was entirely a stylistic choice.

What about shows by SHAFT?

That's the #1 rule of anime, yes?

I dunno, when I posted about Gunbuster way back when (god, 1-2 years ago?!), people were saying (perhaps jokingly?) that it was to save money.

That's why SHAFT is the best!
