Sengoku Basara Final
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Crazy finale! I don't even know how to verbalize my thoughts on this. Pure unadulterated badassery that's incredibly potent hotbloodedness questions whether I really ever enjoyed most anime I've seen at all before this. THAT is how awesome it is. The medium has never shined brighter than it has before.
Going to jump right into season 2 after doing some things.

It's very entertaining and the protagonist is the type of character that is not often the focus in animu. I like it, but I wish it could tone down the cute factor a little bit. It's distracting.Jexhius said:

You REALLY shouldn't be if the manga thread is anything to go by. Mediocre anime/manga happen all the time, but it takes a very special series to make so many people THAT angry.

Oh, this is that manga, isn't it? Well, ever since watching Time of Eve I've really been looking forward to Yoshiura's next project, so I'll have to at least check it out. I'll just remember not to get emotionally involved.cosmicblizzard said:

I'd say bad because the only thing the manga has going for it is Seo Kouji's great art.Cwarrior said:

Memolu in the Pointed Hat - Marielle's Jewel Case
movie version of the first episodes of Tongari Boushi no Memoru
Moe stuff from the Golden Age (1985), nice story with very cute characters.
Story is about Marielle, a lonely and sick litte girl, and Memule a magical gnome from outer space. Likeable characters, many adventures, I loved the anime as kid, I guess I will watch the anime again.

This is rather old, but still an interesting read about how the popularity of the Chihayafuru manga is causing a karuta craze to sweep the high schools of Japan.

Yep...
Nice to see a serious arc focusing on Elizabeth
Could we finally see what he looks like without the suit? Also nice to see Sakamoto get a role in a serious arc. Maybe we'll finally see what he can do.

We hate everything.cosmicblizzard said:
It's hard to get emotionally involved with a series without emotion. Unless you consider psychosis an emotion. Every character reaction should just have a derp SFX on all the panels.hosannainexcelsis said:
Now that I'm done hating on a town where you derp, those are helpful lists. Chihayafuru is next on my queue and then I will have to think about the other mentioned ones. I'm kind of surprised josei is so watched. I didn't think many people watched them as they sort of have a similar feel to shoujo. And I see plenty of apprehension to shoujo. Maybe Princess Jellyfish converted some peeps or maybe Usagi, Eden of the East, or maybe I'm out of it.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
My Great Sailor Moon Escapade
At the constant requests of a certain fellow in here I started this series the other day. I really should have listened to him earlier. Never leads me astray!
Will basically post my really long thoughts on each episode, because I havent nothing better to do with my time.
Sailor Moon 01
The first episode was fun stuff. Highlights start with Usagi and Luna meeting each other. An absolutely hilarious choice of music, trying to create a bit of uneasiness and mysteriousness for the scene. Only Luna isn't creepy at all, certainly not nearly on the same level as a Kyubey. It's too cute to be creepy!
Usagi really is a dumb girl. A 30 on your test? Open the books honey. But the way she gets so frustrated with her test, crumbling it up into a little ball was totally :cajun.
Keeping on with the creepy theme of the show the episode features the introduction of the super fabulous Jadeite and Queen Beryl and the hunt for the mysteriousPenguindrum Phantom Silver Crystal in a really cool atmospheric segment, the difference between the general be happy tone of the show and the darkness of that had a really nice contrast. These scenes were really pretty yet at the same time effective at what was trying to be presented. Maybe everything wont be so happy go lucky in this show!
The monster of the week segment of the episode was pretty weak but we get introduced to the amazing Jadeite theme song for the first time. This first episode is full of great tracks and his theme is one of them.
I dont really like this- holy hell those are some really ugly shades youre wearing there fellow. Hes a total jerk to Usagi and she obviouslyhates is already head over heels for him and just doesnt know it yet. Looks like hes supposed to be the bad boy love interest of the series, so hes obviously going to score her at the end of this series and well probably well before that.
One of the most hokey parts of the show, the eye catch. The guys in the background going Sailaaaaaaaaaah Moooooooooooon is so freaking hilarious.
Poor Usagi. Her good friend Umino ratted her sorry test score out. Id feel bad for her, but a 30?!? Maybe shell actually try taking some notes next time. Umino did the right thing by going to her mom to let her know her daughter is a baka. Literally throwing your daughter of the house, thats some old school 90s parenting right there. Her little brother shows no respect to his big sis, but Usagi doesnt seem like much of a big sister so its okay.
Got a huge laugh at the next scene here Usagi finally gets back into the house. Shes so tired from crying outside that shes too tired to do homeork. What a vicious cycle! Poor girl is going to get another 30 on her next test. Usagi leaves her window open only for that devious cat to come in and bring the creepy to the max.
Moon Prism Power, Make Up!
And finally we get the first magical girl transformation. Really awesome transformation scene with a great piece of music to go along with it.
Into the first battle we go. Nice twist on the identity of this weeks baddy, directly makes stopping this threat relevant to Usagi giving her some incentive to not turn around and run, although shes probably too stupid do that. Usagis tears being an attack is vicious, both of the baddies and for my ear drums. Her destructo disc attack is pretty sweet. Tuxedo Mask is introduced, and yeah hes a total loser just like the guy is in real life. The track they use in the background is great too.
Ending song is okay, it harkens back to that late 80s / early 90s JPop stuff, but the OP is great stuff.
First episode through and loving it already. Looking the series up I honestly had no idea how many big names were involved with the show (Junichi Sato!), although a lot of the big names weren't all that big when this show aired. Cant wait to see what I get from Ikuhara, hoping and expecting far more Utena than Penguindrum.

It looks very different and the art in derp town is one of the few things I don't have an issue with. Yet Suzuka looked pretty damn close to the manga despite being a bit more plain.Articalys said:
The easiest comparison is Kanzaki who is basically Suzuka. Yuzuki on the left, Kanzaki on the right.

Suzuka anime
I don't know who the hell either of these girls are supposed to represent.

I have reached the halfway point of Steins;gate and am really surprised by how much the characters have grown on me. They're not all that complex, but they're very fleshed out and fun. Now that things look to be turning all SeriousBusiness, I'm actually kind of sad because it was pretty consistently funny for a while there. Hoping at least the science remains hilarious (

The more I watch Ben-To, the more I realize I want a videogame of it. A brawler, obviously.
Finished picks
Usagi Drop
Ikoku Meiro no Croisée
Hanasaku Iroha
Mayo Chiki (I know, odd choice. Brainless but well animated. To quote my older sister "Why is it THESE shows get the budgets??")
Likely to be here but technically not over and thereby have time to completely ruin it
Ben-To (unlikely to fail me)
Chihayafuru (seems unlikely thus far)
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Tsukunai (probable to fail)
iDOLM@STER (unlikely to fall)
Mawaru Penguindrum (I simply don't know)
