Yes.
Yes.
It may not be the best produced show ever, not the prettiest, nor the most meaningful or relevant. But I truly love it.

They're doing the work Hollywood won't. They're reaching out to our people in ways that greedy studios would never even think of doing!
Something, something, teenage angst
Exceptions can be made!

The funny thing about precures is that you can blast through a season fairly quick if you fastforward past all the stock footage stuff.
It's the anime equivalent of this:
How do AMVs still even exist in 2012? I would have thought that the teenage Naruto fans that loved this shit would have grown up by now and stopped making them.
That seems to work pretty well for Rightstuf.
In fact, it's really the only anime retail model that actually seems to work.
Why would you skip the best part of the show?!?!?

Going by this video, both Kenichi Yoshida and Yoh Yoshinari are doing designs for the Mass Effect anime.

I'm honestly not sure what to think about it. It hovers right on the line between creative genius and wanton self-indulgence in randomness. There are impressive scenes, both of the tender and touching variety and of the vibrant and extravagant variety, but I'm not sure they gelled into a coherent whole. The pacing is kind of wonky -

Fortunately, if I wasn't sure what the theme of the film was supposed to be, it's spelled out at the very beginning:
Thanks, Yuasa.

I just love it because it's like a full length Cat Soup.
Its batshit insanity in a non-traditional art style with great music and really fun action sequences. It is all the zaniness of Studio 4C shorts put into a movie.

Call me crazy, but the art, animation and atmosphere (especially the sound effects and other minor details) are all really high quality and well done. Maybe the best from this seasons bunch of shows, and P.A works best to date.
The whole episode was so tense, I was just waiting for something to happen around every corner.

Ugh, I was just waiting for the tape to cut out at the important part....

oh? I mean only the stock footage finishers =P Those tend to go on a bit too long.
Speaking of which Suite Precure movie reminded me of how awesome their henshin sequence was. Great theme. Shame the show was kinda bad =/

I never understood why AMVs are so popular, if I was given a penny for every Dragon Ball Z x Linkin Park video..
I see. I can't really comment on Precure finishers. Haven't seen them. That is a pretty repetitive part of magical girl shows though. I liked the way CCS did it, with new outfits every episode and even in what seemed to be stock footage. CCS really didnt HAVE stock footage that I can recall.
I'm never a fan of the finishers just because of the plastic toy pimping, but the more complex ones that we get later in the series tend to be better. Heartcatch Orchestra fuck yeah! (spoilers?)
I hope you're prepared for Geneijin's wrath.
Suite has the best transformation sequences.

lol, they are complex... but say the 'ultimate finisher' in heartcatch takes freaking forever! It's cool for the first time or so but... yeah. They have a whole fucking new henshin sequences just to use 1 attack >.>"
Smile Precure 06
Damn it someone gif'ed the best one ;P
Candy's evolution line is wack.
Gotta love the whole lampshading of tropes.
FUCK THEY CUT AWAY FROM THE BEST PART OF MARCH'S HENSHIN SEQUENCE!
A bit lame that they don't have some unique henshin sequences when they henshin as a group =/
I felt so cheated. March gets in the position for her hair explosion, then suddenly BEAUTY'S HAIR OUT OF NOWHERE FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU-
We'll probably get a group henshin at some point, they're just trying to get their money's worth out of these animations first.

Fixed that for you.
Someone make a Hamtaro x Linkin Park AMV!
edit: Dear lord, it already exists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AInLmlbNpj0

It kind of sounds like you maybe kinda liked it. A better question might be: are you glad you watched it?

Perhaps this is the equivalent of Vinny's law. Instead of any game that allows you access to tools will result in World 1-1, any anime that exists has an AMV paired with Linkin Park or will have one made.
I've seen things.

Absolutely.
You are a good person.
I hope that Linkin Park Haibane video didn't scar you too much.

I'm beginning to wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I should probably just leave well enough alone.
Oh man, I've only got the last 2 episodes to watch, but I like having it sitting in my "to watch" list. T_T
How good is that show? I've been kind of interested in it and FYE has it on sale.
I would at least expect a dubstep remix of Naniwa-zu niiiiiiiiiii Sakuya Kono Hanaaaaaaa. I'm kind of disappointed.
OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
Would have been better broken in 5-minute episodes. Still, the ending is fucking wonderful.
No words can describe my rage of Justin Beiber, don't get me started on an association to something I like.
Excuse me, I have some houses to burn.

It sounds and looks like you guys are torturing yourself by looking this stuff online. It's better to not even know about their existence ~

That looks suspiciously like the bird from Garzey's Wing.
