AI?

Chamber!!!

to be fair, that mech is strangely adorable in body proportions.

 

[cajunator]

Well, at least we're finally getting some K-On BluRay.

About damned time yall got them.

 

[Lollipop Dave]

About damned time yall got them.

Just the Movie.

 

[chickdigger802]

always wondered, for modern anime films, what resolution are they done at for theater?

 

[SDBurton]

Oy, I just realized that C84 and Otakon overlap next weekend. That's going to be crazy.

The storm is coming. Get hype!

 

[cajunator]

Just the Movie.

Well, its a start!

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Kingdom 2 - 8

Better, the inner psychological struggles feel a bit week and were way too drawn out but the stuff outside of that was intense and went not as I expected

Spoiler

would have thought theyd be stopped in progress instead of only finally after making it all the way through relatively peacefully, spare that one arrow incident

 

[dakkumauji]

Cleaner version of (most of) the Kyousogiga TV teaser visual:

Even more hype.

 

[chickdigger802]

beat dangan ronpa.


From this point on, I will drop any anime/game/manga/show that goes into 'despair' nonsense.



maybe ones that go on about 'hope' too.

i've freed some space in my bookshelf.

And on my harddrive too .

I'm ready ... All hands , brace yourself for the impact !!

Kuzuri

This has been a heck of a summer for anime-influenced movies, although this film isn't quite as blatant as Pacific Rim was...and considering it has ninjas, a robot samurai, and a redheaded Japanese swordswoman, that's saying something.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Robot Girls Z is probably gonna be the best mecha show in years.

You didn't care for it? I still have it on the backlog, though who knows when I'll get around to it.

uchouten kazoku - 04

Lol this is one way to view familly quarells.

Anyway , this show is satisfying , yet i don't know why ..it just is.

To Love Ru Darkness - Episode 3

If I was Rito I would feel really annoyed at the stuff these girls do. I like girls as much as the next guy, but as much as they're all over him 24/7 I would just get sick of it. I could never be in this guy's shoes.

Also lots of Golden Darkness screen time in this episode.

 

[Haly]

Things I like about Uchouten:

1) Likeable cast. They're not the deepest characters around but all appealing in their own way.
2) Unique premise. It's like urban fantasy but with japanese folklore.
3) Tight pacing. Except for some exposition dumps there isn't really a dull moment. Stuff is happening, it is interesting.
4) Good production values. (lol PA works)
5) Benten. Dat Benten.
6) Not too many animu cliches. In fact I can't really think of any except the deceased parent, whose death factors heavily into the plot.
7) Easy-going and lighthearted, with just enough drama and mystery to maintain tension.

All in all a very solid work, exceptionally so.

Yeah honestly that kind of thing would get annoying as fuck after a while.

Echoing all this, easily my favorite show of the season, be sure to support the OT for it!

Even that's not so much of a cliche of anime but of fiction in general.

I would go further to say that Uchoutan is everything Gargantia was without the flaws (poor prologue, contrivances, fanservice, predictability).

But does it have Brobots?

 

[cnet128]

whats an alicization? Making something... alice?

This is explained in the second novel of the arc.

Spoiler

There's a project seeking to create the "perfect AI", and they've codenamed this theoretical AI "ALICE" for "Artificial Labile Intelligent Cybernated Existence". They already have a pool of "imperfect" AIs, so the goal of the project is to upgrade one of these into a true "ALICE". Hence, "Project Alicization".

In other news...HAY GUYS IT'S MY BIRTHDAY. Thanks goes to Cajun for giving me the perfect idea for a good present to ask for:

Awwwww, isn't he eviladorable.

Kyubey, I mean, not me.

Isnt that comparing apples to oranges? The shows are absolutely nothing alike.

I don't really see what the two have in common other than unusual settings.

 

[Haly]

Perhaps the connection only exists in my head, but for me Gargantia was the "wow this is surprisingly decent, I can't wait for the next episode" show of last season, which is my exact same feelings towards Uchouten. Both are low calorie slice of lifes with an overarching mystery and a large but well balanced cast of characters. Both have consistent production and direction with a vibrant color palette.

They are both shows that don't rely on any single facet (animation, premise, writing, moe) to sell, but the competent execution of all of them together.

Better than Hyouka. I feel enlightened, truly the path to true balance and happiness is laid bare before me.
Ryuho Okawa truly is the man.

Poor Uchouten, lost the battle before it even started.

 

[Novid]

I created some sort of ask.fm thingy I guess. you know where to go im not gonna get wiped

Amy is just another moe moe girl. Benten is the best femme fatale in modern anime since Senjougahara (discounting Nakamura-san cause of reasons).

edit: Shit, even I was going to describe her as a femme fatale. Glad I'm not the only one picking that up.

nah, its fine, but the themes... they push 'despair and hope' soo much on you... urk.

generic moe moe kyun "girls" versus well written women, gargantua are you even trying

Let's Play! Suite Precure: 29

And then the Precure went freaking Super Saiyan.

Spoiler

So they were sent on a quest to find the Crescendo Tone, sealed deep within an evil forest, split up and had to face a giant monster alone until the power of friendship brought them together and allowed them to kick butt.

Friendship really is magic, apparently.

Same. Benten is an interesting character, but I can't say I find her remotely attractive.

It's a good thing that attractiveness is only a small part of making good characters.

A realistic depiction of the dangers of bodybuilding and their effect on people who want to remain competitive by descending into doping culture. Soon: EPOs and other performance-enhancing drugs.

I actually think that KyoAni is just trying to give boys body image-issues. I mean, look at this:




OH GOD WHY U SO FAT?

It really makes zero sense.
