I came across an excellent observation and realized this is the greatest one episode character appearance the last 10 years or so.

 

[Branduil]

You're forgetting it's not about the armor, but the effects.

I don't see why they can't just paste those ugly effects over a 2D Berserker.

BOUGHT.
No doubt at some insane price.

Fate/zero second season BD set also confirmed for simultaneous import, though that was a given.

 

[madp]

I recommend La Storia della Arcana Famiglia cause I'm planning on watching it too and it has the least generic art out of the ones posted

It looks really TL. Basically, the main cast looks like a watered-down Noah Family from D.Gray-man and there looks like a high probability of hamfisted yaoi undertones, so it could potentially be another Brave 10 with a lot of leather and bad Italian.

To be fair, "Oreimo" isnt really a word. Its just shorthand for the shows full name.
Although aniplex did call the boxset that.

The only reason that Aniplex shortens the name is because they really want to obscure its actual meaning as much as possible.

The Gilgamesh cosplayer strolled in from the back of the room carrying a glass of wine. Flawless.

It would look very ugly and have zero depth. They could do it, but unlike you they have artistic taste and actually care about doing justice to the quality of the production.

I think DTL compared it to Reborn, so take that as you will.

wat

Probably the most destructive Zonder we've seen. Yet people still don't mention what is probably hundreds of thousands of casualties on a daily basis. Ah well, guess that's par for the course with this genre.

Oh Ho Ho Ho~!

What's so hard to remember about "ore no imouto ga konna ni kawaii wake ga nai"?

What's wrong with calling it "My Little Sister Can't Possibly Be This Cute"?

Oh wait, I hear the cops coming.

Interest rising. For all the wrong reasons.

I really hope this gets youtube'd.

Problem solved

Is that better or worse? I have no idea about both Reborn or D Gray-Man

This Anime Can't Possibly Be This Illegal!

This Anime Can't Possibly Be This Illegal!

I think that would actually help sell a bunch of copies, for the wrong reasons. Lol.

 

[Branduil]

It would look very ugly

Right, so it wouldn't look any different.

 

[Crash Station]

Could go either way. D Gray-Man had a good start but then became a convoluted mess when it went monthly, while Reborn genre-shifted with an alright arc, then got better, then got terrible, then got better again and is now pretty good.

 

[cajunator]

Fate/zero second season BD set also confirmed for simultaneous import, though that was a given.

Any announcement of a date? I'm so anxious here.
I just want that damned box.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Shining Hearts: Bread of Happiness 6

Rick's bruschetta looked tasty. Otherwise I think it was a nice actiony episode enhanced by Prince Ragna, whom had two great scenes which oddly were cool.

Spoiler

It would be nice if we saw even more of Rick's swordskills in the remaining episodes and he gets back the sword the Prince and Princess are keeping

 

[duckroll]

Same date as the JP one. Sept 19.

Right, so it wouldn't look any different.

You're turning into a broken record here. No original ideas, and nothing worthwhile to say. What a waste of time.

 

[cajunator]

Ok cool. so I guess preorders will start soon in the US.
I have never wanted a $400 item this badly before.
It's probably too late for me.

I don't think that anyone was actually comparing Arcana Famiglia to D.Gray-man in a narrative sense, though. I think I just remarked that the characters vaguely look like the Noah Family.

Comparisons to Reborn! seem not that far-off since both seem to be battle shounen series that revolve around a fight for the succession to a mafia family.

 

[Lafiel]

Eureka Seven AO 6 - Mmmm this was a pretty good episode. There was a lot of neat small touches like AO getting exhausted due to the events of the previous episodes, the wacky anime bullshit was kept to a minimum (thankfully). And those last 6 minutes omgggg. I better prepare myself for the next episode, since I'm not so sure what to expect!

People are always misinterpreting anime shows for some reason.

It's a simultaneous release, so September 19.

Somewhere on this forum, there's someone with a Wakaba avatar who would be really angry if he were to read this whole conversation.

Just in time for my birthday. Guess I know what I'll give myself this year.

Dunno, it sound pretty decent, at least the review for the VN. Considering it is an otome game with tons of fighting and a female protag who is basically a part of the tournament, it has a good chance to be pretty good.

Of course, it could turn out to be a terrible adaptation where people spend all day talking or something, but depending on how much they are trying to milk this, we could get lots of signing or something!

It's okay, I am sure they all evacuated. Er, somewhere. And there's the dividing driver, of course, so it's all okay!

At least I'm not just insulting people who disagree with me.

Why not?
You're no fun. And you smell faintly of rancid stilton.

No, instead you insult people's intelligence by wasting their time with pointless debates you have no interest in actually discussing!

 

[Jex]

I don't know what to do to live up to this avatar.

Well, you could start by acting more like a kawaii imouto.

But then he wouldn't be like Kirino!

 

[Envelope]

Branduil is right though, CG berserker is ugly.

 

[Branduil]

I don't see the point in engaging in debates with people who are so defensive about their view that they insult anyone who disagrees.

Besides, there's not much to debate about aesthetics. You either think it looks good or you don't.

 

[duckroll]

Branduil is right though, CG berserker is ugly.

Thanks for supporting his argument. You don't know how much this means to me.

 

[Jex]

It's been as established fact for several months that some people like CG Berserker, some people dislike CG Berserker and most people don't care one way or the other.

This isn't going to change.

 

[Envelope]

I know how to make you happy, ducky.

Manami's grandparents are all kinds of awesome! XD They really need more screen time.

I use 50 ppp.

Its Cajun approved.

 

[Dresden]

we should just talk about how bad muv-luv is going to be (and how madpierrot will watch every episode)

 

[jman2050]

CG Berserker is pretty ugly at points but you can do far far worse as far as CG goes.

If anything, one should complain about the terribad vehicle CG that's plagued the series since the beginning.

Spoiler

At least it was pretty good this episode when it mattered the most.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Let's see if there actually is such a thing as Mad Pierrot hype, shall we?

Watch Un-Go. If nothing else, it is totally unique among anime and you're guaranteed to feel things while watching it. Lots and lots of things. It's the most thought-provoking BONES work in years, and it has a mad sexy ED. What more do you need?

Well, I'm sold!

Spoiler

(*squints* Our friendship is on the line...)

 

[Jex]

Shh, you're spoiling the show.
