I still like Shinkai, almost in spite of himself.

Objectively as boring.

You should have sent those BDs to me
I offered them up! No one responded so I just gave it to Extollere and his wife when I visited.
For future reference, next time you buy a K-On BD, I got dibs.

Yuri episode. Nothing to see here.

Trigun 1-12.
It's been forever since I've last watched this show through to completion, and yours' truly has forgotten most, if not all of it. So, I've started rewatching it, and want to give impressions.
It's pretty fucking bad, but Vash is fun, and there are promises of romance. That's all I really need, I'm finding out: An interesting protagonist, and romance.

Just watched Horizon 10 and felt obliged to tell everyone that this show is still fucking awesome. This is what Guilty Crown tried to be and failed miserably at in every single regard. It walks the fine line between utter stupidity and pure genius, is always completely over the top and ridiculous, random and insane, and it somehow still makes perfect sense in context. If you dropped the show because it was confusing and too much exposition initially, or because you felt threatened by Kimi's boobs, that's really your loss.
EDIT: I also recently started to watch Wakfu, which obviously isn't "anime" (even though some Madhouse guys served as advisors or something?), but god damn Japan - fuck tradition, use vector animations! Traditional animation is very cool if it's like Redline, but that obviously won't work for TV shows. It's insane what a couple of French guys can do with the right tools. That shit is so smooth and flows so well.

ehhh...yeah if you’re going to do a sad back storys try to spread them out or they lose their impact after a dozen in a row.
When does this get real? Cause I was under the impression that this was meant to be a loved high tier shouenen but so far it feels mostly like filler( low tier stuff).
-nice ost really like the sad winter track but am tired of hearing the 4 same tracks over again.

I've liked the two Shinkai films I've seen, Voices and Place Promised. They're both a pleasure to look at. However, his obsessive concern for visual beauty ends up leading to bad direction; it doesn't serve the narrative or the characters or even the themes most of the time, instead serving his personal fetish for clouds and suchlike. He needs to either get a overseeing hand who can rein his worst tendencies in, or drop all pretenses to narrative and go solely for atmosphere.
Shinkai's best work is his 1-minute tightly-constructed, light-hearted short for AniKuri15, where he doesn't have time to get self-indulgent.

doesn't get "real" until the Kyoto arc imo.
and i'm still salty that they are not finishing this fucking anime.
It's bad even on an individual level
If this was the first Shinkai movie I saw I'd think "this is terrible, but it's so pretty, but it's terrible, but it's pretty".
I drew a graph to illustrate.
The copyright notice did it for me :lol
So, are you telling me Shinkai is Terrence Malick?! :O /blatanttroll

Shinkai would probably be better served filming real world clouds and nature. He could be all Malick-y.

They seemed to have blown their budget. I don't have anything to make gifs on me right now but if someone can find the part where Oshiroi is covering herself up after her book falls, it is pure QUALITY. They also did this weird thing where she fell into her bed on the same plane of animation she was in, after spilling the coffee.

The only Shinkai movie I didn't like was 5cm/s and that's because it made me incredibly depressed.
Hot!
Strange, that's the exact reason I love it the most out of his filmography.

. I kind of want to make the sound the UE suits make my msg tone for my cellphone, to replace Miyuri's tutturu. Flit, Grodek, and Woolf continue to be great mains. If Emily and Dique are sticking around, I wish they would do something useful. Largan should have got one of the mobile suits from the workshop.
Well I didnt think Decil would be part of UE. I liked his character design. I wonder if that means Yurin was in it too. Oh and it was so cool when Flit when unprotected into space!

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Yeah, that was pretty terrible.
Tekken: Blood Vengeance
I liked the part when that dude fought against the other dude and then the old dude was a giant monster. I have to say, if the animators' intention was to make Alisa look like a creepy autonomous realdoll as much as possible then kudos to them. And when Dai Sato's name came up during the credits I felt like laughing and facepalming at the same time.

But is it better than the live action movie?

there is no fucking way it can be worse....right?

The real question is, are any of these better than the Street Fighter live-action movie?
The dude from the Black Eyed Peas cosplayed Vega. You can't beat that.

The only reason I'm going through K-ON! right now is because Jexhius recommended it. [/shrugs]

How can he recommend something he only begrudgingly admits that he doesn't hate?!
It's Jex. He has that power.
And have to go against not just a surprisingly top tier Working'!!, but Gintama? Penguin, please.

So you are saying Jexhius is tsundere for K-ON!?

That, and Jex is one of the few people here who wasn't pushing any Bones anime, Glass Fleet, School Days, and Code Geass on the random people who pop in to ask what to watch.
That alone makes him the most trustworthy poster in this thread!
He doesn't like it or anything! He just can't stop watching it! It can't be helped!

He's a self-avowed fan of Akikan! though.
I don't particularly like Working'!!, to be honest. As far as comedies go, Azazel-san is my favorite comedy of the year.

jman is very good at hiding his dere side when it comes to K-ON. But we know it's there!

We both did! And what do you call it when you're stalking someone who's stalking you at the same time? When you find out, let me know so I can do it again.
And says that MPD will be in his top 3 of all time. Those aren't the words of a trustworthy fellow, if you ask me.
Azazel-san was pretty erratic. I'd rank it up there too, if only it had remained a bit more consistent than it did.

Not Tatami/Ho5L good, regardless.

I didn't quite like Tatami as much as some people here. Although, I'm probably not in the pizzaroll camp either.
Here's hoping for a sequel!
