Anyone else playing with the android client for Hummingbird, Tenpenchii? Have to say for a in development thing by one guy using apis that are still not stable I am pretty impressed.
Wait, there's an android client?

Queen's Blade 1-8
This seemed alright for a few episodes... I mean, the acid-shooting tits were ridiculous, but I let it slide. But now I think I'm just bored to tears with it. Does it ever get better, or should I just stop now? Because wow, this is pretty bad.
That looks like a good thing!
No worries, it gets horrible soon.
Well, more horrible.
Yep.

Not the only one I imagine. Theres a fair bit of activity on the forums about hummingbird apps.
I don't know why you would watching the show without expecting tits galore anyway.
That's just the way it goes. If it's an adaptation of an ongoing series, then... well, yeah.Oreshura: S1
So I finally got around to watching this one and I am mad thatMasuzu won instead of Chiwa. UGH, I dont even know how to feel. In my mind, Masuzu just didn't deserve to win. She not only blackmailed him the entire series, but was basically being a bitch to everyone throughout the series.
I really feel bad for Chiwa. You can tell that she cares for him the most out of everyone. they've known each other the longest. They spends every day with each other, they know everything about each other. The chemistry between them is there and you can quite obviously tell that he cares for her (and vice versa)
What kills me the most is that I knew going into this that the show is a harem, I knew that in the end it wouldn't be going down a single path because thats how these things tend to go. I just hate how the main character ends things against everyone
The entire ending just rubs me the wrong way. And I can't explain why. And that annoys me.

I wish to have wished for you a Happy Birthday at the time, Seraphis Cain!So I turned 30 today.
Did you end up getting any of the Shiranui figures? The SEGA capsule toy ones?Based Shiranui ♥
THE animator in singular! Credit on that scene for Mr. Itano... not only of circuses lives the man!http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/zz278/Jexhius/fall.gif~original
To animate all these things happening at the same time means that the animators had to practically redraw everything on screen from scratch every few frames. This is hugely time consuming because you're usually just changing some part of some character and leaving everything else in 'the shot' untouched, where as here due to the spectacular camera movement the animators have to re-draw all the details.
Oh wow, Sentai Filmworks just announced a license rescue for Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, for both BD and DVD, out in March (not sure if multiple parts or one complete set).
edit: they don't have the bonus omake episodes at the moment but they're "looking into it".

That's like... TOO LATE. Import French version. NOW (I don't mind if you don't know French, probably you'll understand it better than Japanese, and that's a reasonable threshold to me in case of this brilliant must-see work.May have to hold off until March to watch Nadia now.
Speaking of Dezaki, would you approve of these postcard cuts:
TRIGGER Inc., keeps winning at everything...Those are just filtered on Photoshop; it misses the whole point.
Heh, anyone remembers I Am Now (Banned)? Lively poster...

Another poor soul trapped in the friendzone
Are there any new, promising, animation studios or is the scene pretty much stagnant? I know of studio Khara but isn't that more like a studio splitting into two?
Weeeeell, do Trigger count?
How new exactly? I'd say ufotable but they've been around for a while. They're still 'new' compared with studios like MADHOUSE or Sunrise who have been around since the 70s.
Speaking of MADHOUSE, there's Maruyama's new studio MAPPA for which Watanabe was supposedly directing a show in 2014. Dunno where that went.
Oh, there's also the very promising Wit Studio! Truly the only ones who care about their animators. Lol.
Anyway, Kinema Citrus is the comparatively young studio whose recent work has impressed me the most. They put a lot of effort into Code:Breaker and Yuyushiki, and I'm very interested in seeing how Bushiroad and Black Bullet turn out.
I still have a lot of hope for Keiichi Hara's ascension Inc., because I thought of it as a mixture of continuing the 'A-Pro Style' tradition coming from Shin-Ei while handling more of own Mr. Hara projects after Summer Days with Coo, but conserving the willingness to not convert it into just his personal studio like other 'auteurs' kind of end up motivating, be it giving further opportunities to old peers at the helm of new works or keeping the special training for its future young staff thanks to projects like animemirai.David Production

They should have a Pizza tank crew and maybe other crews based on other food.Good! Anchovy was too good not to follow up on.

Closest thing you'll get, I suppose...Same answer I got for wanting a Yotsuba& anime...
So, is it the ALIEN of the new generation?What I have learned from Gravity is space is terrifying and wants to kill you.
They are just resting... don't bring that pesky reality into my hopes and dreams!I got fired up about Ascension after watching Kizuna Ichigeki but, like, they never make anything interesting.

Macross 4-
So I'm guessing Ranka was a homage to Minmay. This episode was kinda dated as there is no way that you could be on a spaceship for over a week and not see another human being. Even cameras would have picked you up. That said, the two leads do have some good chemistry.
I wish I could find that old fake letter from an Imperial officer on how impractical these super star destroyer designs are.It doesn't seem so far fetched to me that a gigantic alien spacecraft rebuilt for shits and giggles would have a few blindspots inside it that someone could get lost in.
I miss Regulus Tera even more, because of moments like this for he could shout "Anno is a hack!".Ariel Visual & Ariel Deluxe
The final episode of the 1991 OVA does particularly enjoyable things with the sci-fi aspect, basically being an even more extreme version of Evangelion's Operation Yashima that, beyond draining all of Japan's electricity to power a superweapon, also involves.detonating nuclear weapons in Japan's volcanoes to launch a crashing spaceship back into orbit
Indeed!Hope to see another post like this before the three month cool-down...
Wooooooooooooow. You missed the birth of legendary new action animator Yoshimichi Kameda. Literally.![]()
To mature he had to freed from the anxiety of working with his idols Mr. Imaishi & Co. at GAiNAX:He was literally born from the animation itself as Mustang and Lust fought in ep19. You can see the fetus forming and developing into a full adult human as the effects got more and more intense. #truthfact
http://vanishingtrooper.wordpress.c...nd-talk-about-the-appeal-of-yoshinori-kanada/Quick Summary: “Lets drink and talk about the appeal of Yoshinori Kanada!” | The Vanishing Trooper Incident said:Kameda mentions that while he worked as an in-betweener at Gainax during the production of Gurren Lagann, he was extremely nervous about approaching Imaishi and the other professional animators, those that he worshipped were right before him. The most he could muster up was asking Imaishi for an autograph.

There's plenty about this to like, though it's still very much in the introduction phase. In the abstract, I really like the setting. But all the echoes that suggest, "This is a WWII story told from Japan's perspective" (and making the centerpiece of your show the biggest battleship Japan built during the war kind of invites them) make me feel really weird about everything happening. Stories that cast the Japan of that era as an entirely innocent victim always rub me the wrong way.
I hope that feeling goes away once they get away from Earth.
Yeah, and for the case of the original series I must admit that after watching it I as well kind of categorised it as a manipulative and superficial take on a clearly innocent vision of the past, but words from people like the ones of very own director Mr. Masuda made me reconsider and partly abandon that notion, thinking of the work more like a born anew message of hope and understanding beyond the destruction:Of course it is partly a metaphor for WWII but not quite in the same way you'd imagine and it's certainly not the focus of the story, it really is a sci-fi story.
http://ourstarblazers.com/vault/616/If it were Musashi rather than Yamato, it would not have the power of appeal. Yamato is Yamato, namely Japan itself. Rather than patriotism, it is a nostalgia for oneself.
(...)
In our generation, the economic reconstruction of Japan is joyful. It is a warm feeling, the comfort of ones existence rather than simple patriotism. Thus, for those reasons, we Japanese cannot help but feel excitement and encouragement when we see Yamato rise bravely from the ground, I suppose.
The sense of guilt over war and militarism is dispelled by Yamatos voyage to save mankind; it may be like the economic recovery of Japan itself. Yamato is tied to the consciousness of a general public concerned with the work of a larger societal background.
At the time when social problems like the oil shock and the energy crisis came into focus, Space Battleship Yamato was an explosive hit. It was a time when material civilization came to a standstill, and an urge was born to renew country and family.
The Battleship Yamato, rather than reappearing in a reactionary way, was transformed and emerged as a figure of the future. Depicted in it were love, tradition, sacrifice and the Samurai spirit Bushi-do, all the beauty and virtue. If the label of militarism was applied even a little, the purely beautiful part might have been buried. But when love and the spirit of self-sacrifice rose to the forefront, the cast of Yamato proved the point beautifully.
(...)
The heroes of Yamato are neither statesmen nor arrogant dictators. The level they occupy is, so to speak, the peoples representatives. They are heroes born out of democracy.
