CCS Movie 1
Pretty much an 80 minute long episode of CCS with high production values. It did start to drag on towards the end, but overall I enjoyed it.

Cencoroll
This was a neat short film. It's amazing that this was done almost entirely by one person. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

I really enjoy it, what do you not like about it? How much did you like the game?

The inconsistently poor art, stilted animation and bland mc (I did expect the later). The entire shows just feels really empty and bland. I've only watched some of the Giant Bomb ED so I can't comment on whether I enjoyed the game (I'm planing on playing the Vita port when it gets localized.)

I don't know what happened to Tabuki's fingers. I was referring to something Momoka said she did in this week's episode: she saved a rabbit's life, and one of her fingers received a small wound as a result.

Ohhh. So that

Spoiler

mystery remains. I wonder what he did in the diary to cause that wound? Probably killed Momoka accidentally or something. Put her into a hat anyway

Following up on my Guilty Crown research earlier, I have gone TWO MORE CUTS of 2D mecha animation in the episode! Whoa!

(Warning: Spoilers)

Spoiler

Both cuts are near the end of the episode, and occur after all the bad guys blow up. The cuts are both of destroyed enemy grunt mechs collapsing, with some deformation effects animation.

Persona 4: The Animation episode 3

This is a bad adaptation. Large swathes of story are cut out for the sake of time but nothing is put in their place so we are left with gaping holes in the narrative. Take the scene with Brosuke and the swords, for instance. Here they included it because it was needed for the subsequent police station scene but then the plot point is completely thrown away and next you know they're prancing around with their weapons in hand again with no explanation. When something doesn't fit in an adaptation you don't cut it up until it does and expect the viewer to have previous knowledge of the material in order to fill in the blanks. That's lazy as all get out.

On the other hand, it's good to know Charlie can swap Personas after all. Maybe my hopes for a Mara appearance are not yet lost.

I enjoyed the Sword scene

Though my only qualm was that it came out rushed and they instantly reach the destination with no explanation. Shouldnt Chie have those glasses?

Heroic Age 2

Age is pretty much Goku with really pretty eyelashes. Him making a mess of the banquet was awesome. That's why you don't take feral children to an important high-class fate of the world meeting thing.

Mech fights are awesome so far. Now I can see why people call it DBZ with mechs. The scale is insane after only 2 episodes and it's not all just beam spam, though even that is incredibly well done.

 

[dimb]

Trust me there are plenty of people here who have opinions about shows they didn't even watch a single minute of.

You're already better than they are.

Do I really have to watch C³ to know it'll be completely unpleasant?

 

[PdotMichael]

My opinion about a anime is based on the hentai ratio. Many hentais = bad. A perfect system

 

[RurouniZel]

I have a question for Anime-GAF. This will either be a very interesting question with some very obscure answers, or a very simple "No," so here goes.

Has there ever been an anime that has depicted an American female who's flat? Or at least not well-endowed in the chest? I was just randomly wondering this, as I can't think of any.

One of the Red Garden protagonists. Maybe more depending on how you define "flat".

There's one in Genshiken.

2006 and I've only seen 1 episode so far, but it seems pretty neat. More authentic American than most shows taking place there (no highschool uniforms, lack of honorifics, etc.). There's even a Seinfeld reference at one point from what I heard.

Huh. I'll have to check that out sometime.

This is one of those shows I keep telling myself I need to watch, and then never do, for whatever reason. :/

[PdotMichael]

What's the deal a american without big boobs in a anime? It's like a china girl without china dress.

 

[RurouniZel]

So the one in the front I'm assuming? I like the art style, so now I need to check it out.

I was actually referring to the one in the back left because her's look smaller on the pic on the Wiki page, but they're both pretty flat. Don't think it's brought up though since it's horror and all >_>

Ah okay. Well either way I've become curious to see if this show is good or not.

 

[Hitokage]

Red Garden is more Realistic Magical Girl than Horror.

Some people didn't like it, but I did.

 

[trejo]

Realistic Magical Girl sounds so incongruous if you think about it.

 

[7Th]

Red Garden isn't great, but it is rather fun for what it is and the corrected/fixed OP was pretty stylish.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Persona 4 3

I like how MC has went from a somewhat expressive silent protagonist to a stoic cloud cuckoo lander. I guess it's the next step up, but funny nonetheless.

I will never be able to give an unbiased critique to this since it's friggin P4. The scene could be Yosuke taking a dump and I'd still be like "fuck yeah!" if Reach out to the Truth was playing. I'm loving what we've already seen and what is being added. The dog was a nice touch and I hope it shows up in Gold.

cosmicblizzard is my true nakama

sorry trejo

CCS Movie 1

The Sealed Card is, on the other hand, magnificent from every angle you look at it. Go watch that instead.

Wow, I haven't seen that movie in so long. So good all those years ago. Didn't it recently get a Blu-Ray re-release? I should look into buying that...

Honestly I would say it's more of a Musical than anything else. Or maybe that's all I remember about it.

Didn't hate the series but it wasn't particularly good either.

Hibiki got robbed bigtime with this rather shit episode, it's made even more disappointing after last weeks great one.

Penguins;Gate 15

Spoiler

So basically Momoka's diary is a self-immolating D-mail. I guess the band-aid might be related to the marks on Tabuki's hand. Whilst the new OP isn't as good as the old one I like how it hints that Kanba is gonna team up with Masako.

Sanetoshi still owns.

The Sealed Card is, on the other hand, magnificent from every angle you look at it. Go watch that instead.

I'll watch that when I finish the rest of the series (up to ep 38).

 

[Regulus Tera]

Momoka Penguindrum 15: This show is so good. Finally explanation for shit, and characters who I couldn't give a fuck about before are fully fleshed-out. Ikuhara is saving animu one episode at a time.

This is gonna sound weird, but the CGI in the new OP is gorgeous.

 

[Solune]

My opinion about a anime is based on the hentai ratio. Many hentais = bad. A perfect system

Sounds almost as bad as saying weekly manga is automatically worse than manga that are published bi-weekly or in even longer intervals.

 

[Extollere]

Eh, in terms of "lots of people being killed in an anime" it doesn't rate that highly.

To be fair, they confirmed in episode 19 that the death toll of that one event was 35 million. I'm not sure what counts as a lot, but that seems to be a lot. Then again, in Gurren Lagann they destroyed probably about a hundred galaxies. That's probably an order of magnitude, in sheer death tolls, if you consider the possibility of those galaxies holding even the tiniest amount of intelligent life.

 

[Hitokage]

Honestly I would say it's more of a Musical than anything else. Or maybe that's all I remember about it.

Didn't hate the series but it wasn't particularly good either.

They sing, they cry, they beat office workers to death with baseball bats.

 

[firehawk12]

Penguins 15: Ah, yep, I knew it. Slapstick is the easiest way to end a tense scene and write yourself out of a bind. Trying to use that as a way to justify a dramatic change in character motivation, on the other hand, is strange thing indeed.

 

[Regulus Tera]

It's getting a bit

Spoiler

dark

for my tastes, but I don't hate where it's going. Some of the shots are still really top tier for me, like

Spoiler

Kanba and Sanetoshi walking down the hallway in the hospital

. I mean, their budget is showing with things like

Spoiler

the OP, which reuses some animation

but it hasn't gone completely south IMO.

All the complaints make me wonder what people on the Interwebz would have said about Utena back in 1997.

 

[Branduil]

Penguin Drum 15

It's unfortunate this show has somehow become incredibly low-budget, with mediocre direction. The first part of the episode didn't help either with how badly written and contrived it was. It got better in the extended flashback, because the story there was actually interesting, but man, the lack of animation is just brutal right now.

 

[Krev]

I'm really hoping they're just saving time and budget for an animation blowout near the end.

 

[Extollere]

I left Penguindrum around 12. Dunno if I feel like getting back into it or not. Maybe I'll wait for the show to wrap up and see how people feel about it on the whole.

 

[Jex]

An improvement, clearly.

If you didn't like where the series went around episode 12 I can honestly say it's not worth your time to get back into the series. Caveat being that the show can turn itself around but week by week I am liking this show less and less. This weeks episode in particular.

Hunter x Hunter (2011) 01-02:

A pretty quirky shonen series! Like the first couple of introductory episodes which is a rarity in these long shounen series that typically start off pretty uninteresting. But does the main character really

Spoiler

use a fishing rod as his main weapon? A fishing rod?!?

To the shounen iconoclasts in here, is this series at least on par with the old one thus far? Having not seen the original series I have no perspective here.

The ending to this series is so wat. The song just doesn't fit at all and well there's that scene involving a man's crotch lighting up into golden flashes of light. I have no idea what's going on there.
