I can't do much until after work but I will see what I can find at that time. They shouldn't be too terribly difficult to find, I would hope.

Found Yui for $100. Well you said price was no hurdle.

$100 isn't bad...that's about what I paid for Ui.
I thought it was inappropriate, and slightly embarrassing, but okay...
Oh gods! Top of page even!

Whose hands are those? Are they arm wrestling? Why are the arm wrestling on the floor? That's not how you arm wrestle. What's going on?
I am confuse.

One Piece was. At least as much as FMA, if not more so. Oda foreshadows the hell out of stuff, introduces subplots that run for years, and has major characters that he planned out the appearance of over a decade before they even showed up in the manga.
Naruto and Bleach, not so much. But lumping One Piece in with them doesn't make much sense.
It's from a bad show, not worth your time.

Tamako Market
Is anyone else shocked by how maturely KyoAni is handling GLBT issues in this show? There's a tranny but he isn't really played up for mean laughs like I was expecting and Midori's crush is probably the most compelling thing that the show has going for it.
There was an interview with Oda's editors, both past and present, that was posted in ManGAF a while back. Apparently he's already got all the major plot points figured out so all that's really left for them to do is critique the chapters.
I feel like I've already seen the best parts of the show through the GIFs.
But that would require people to make 300MB+ gifs that capture the whole show.

Tamako Market - Episode 2
I liked this much more than the first episode, but there's still something which bugs me about this series and I don't know what it is. In fact, it might be that it bugs me because I don't know what it is which I can sense but cannot express, something just feels really unusual and I can't put my finger on it.
As for the episode itself, I really like how dense the content in the episode is, but yet it doesn't feel fast paced or rushed. The interactions and behavior of the characters are really natural, and it's just enjoyable to watch. It is possible that what bugs me is that in the middle of it all there's a weird fat talking bird which also doubles as an AV player, which is really strange and fucked up, but yet everything about the show plays out in a really realistic way. The characters not freaking out or disturbed by this... but I guess I am!
It's going to be interesting to see what the intention for this element is, and how it plays out as the series continues.

Gyrozetter - Episode 15
Good episode. New Gyrozetter. An aquarium visit. More Xenon hijinx. Not-so-subtle hinting at Kakeru x Rinne. Pretty fun stuff. I wonder if they're going to change the OP/ED soon, because they seem really outdated by now. Lol.

If you like the way KyoAni handled it, you might enjoy the way they are portrayed in ShangriLa. There are two trannies in that show and they have prominent roles. One of them is my favorite character in the show actually (Momoko). Both characters are treated as any other character equally, although Momoko is a bit perverted. Damn I love Shangri La so much.

I would at least like them to keep the song for the OP, its pretty catchy.Yeah, I'm pretty impressed.
Both Tamako Market episodes were pretty enjoyable to me, especially the first one which had some outstanding animation even for Kyoani. My only gripe with the show so far is that it doesn't seem to say or imply where it wants to go. If I extrapolate from the first two episodes, the whole anime could just be random episodic antics based on different characters every time.
I'm sure there will be a connector, be it narrative or thematic, for whatever happens in the show, but right now it feels all over the place. I guess they're still introducing the feeling and ambience of the shopping district; I have not seen many hints at future plot points though.
I really like Tamako's character though, she has a very endearing personality that doesn't get too close to anime archetypes and feels very realistic and balanced.
Also to be frank I'd prefer if Kigami episodes were storyboarded by Kigami himself. This one didn't feel much like him, especially coming right after Chuuni 6, which felt like a thorough showcase of his style. I liked some subtle touches here and there, but Kigami is much wackier and a healthy dose of him would be very good for the series.

Momoko in ShangriLa is immensely likeable. He's witty and a bit flirtatious, but extremely loyal to Kuniko and the other outsiders. Really really fun character.

Fat Mayaka. The evidences, they are everywhere.
If thats fat, then its Rihoko fat and not any normal overweight.

I hear this show get dismissed pretty often though, why do you think that is? Are people just put off by the character designs?
He's talking about the other character designs of Mayaka.

No, probably because the show is extremely complex and tries to develop every character. It doesn't have enough time, so its kind of a clumsy mess. Also starts out slow and confusing because a lot of stuff is explained as it goes on. But the show is really really enjoyable to watch. I love the fuck out of it. Momoko is a big part of that. He reminds me of my aunt (who is gay) and how She just has fun with life in every way possible. total character. As for the character designs, they aren't bad. Mikuni is adorable. Kuniko is a cute but tough tomboy. Momoko is perfectly designed for a transsexual. the other characters vary in quality of design but its all rather competent. To be honest aside from the messy complicated plot there is little to dislike about it. the music works very well and the OP/EDs are excellent. the world design is beautiful with the abandoned tokyo and Japan overgrown with jungle and Atlas standing tall above it. The animation works for the show and isnt godawful. It really does deserve a bit more attention than it gets. I fell absolutely in love with it.

I don't know what that is but I'll watch it. Pretty great animation.
Ok. I am 1000% for sure watching that.
Tweeny witches was amazing and this gives me that vibe. I am so fucking aboard with this one.
I'm going to end up seeing her as fat when I finally watch it thanks to the thread.

Most hyped anime for the rest of year for me I think. Well excluding the new Ghibli films but we don't know enough about them to be that excited yet!
Also obligatory comment that Trigger's animation team is phoning it in and they are putting all their effort into Inferno Cop.
Lol that bird is such a dick.
He's such a loveable dick though.

Maybe the series really is from Houtarou's point of view specifically, and because he has known Mayaka and Satoshi for so long, he sees her has a normal person despite her problem with obesity. It could be a really deep commentary on friendship!
Yep he is. Also....a video projector apparently.
Oh man oh man, that PV is delightful. Full of lively animation, and the character designs look really good in motion too!
I am now two times more excited for this than before (which was a lot).
What?
To quote myself, having tested this out. One could make a gif of a "whole" episode that is under 3MB. So I was quite a bit off.
