your lie in april - 22 end

i'm so sad

also happy?

It's overwhelmingly impressive to me that such a cliched story actually affected me as much as this series did. Just goddamn. What a good anime. That final piano sequence was beautiful.

Also shoutout to Takeshi's fuckin' hair holy shit.

edit: man now i need somethign lighthearted, technically it's time to sleep, but i need to clear my mind

If someone had told be beforehand that a slice of life would be my favorite anime, I'd laugh at them. I adore almost everything about Your Lie in April, clichés and all. It even made me go back to playing the piano. Glad you enjoyed it.

I listen to some version of Orange almost every day, lol.

It takes like freaking 5 seconds to read character relationships on the wiki. You scroll down to "relationships" of the main characters.

It's not like I was suggesting to go read the novelization of every episode lol

Miss Monochrome - The Animation - 3 Episode 1 – DISKJOCKEY

Could have had a new OP and Ed song and dance. But Im glad everyone is back. DJ sounds good.

I think his point is that it's not necessary since any incarnation of a Lupin story will present those relationships to the viewer in obvious ways.

Am I watching the Ninja Slayer finale?

Best thing I've seen outside of LWA that involves Trigger. This is closer to something like Ah My Goddess.

The editing was off, in that there are too many cuts, but it's surprisingly funny. Trigger really does do better with shorts.

Edit: Oh god I didn't pick up on Satsuki's VA. For shame. She's totally using the same voice too.

 

[Sölf]

Exactly what is the relationship Trigger has with Hackadoll? They didn't animate it, only produce it... or what was it?

I just need to finish this crap and get it done, I really should have quit a long time ago but now that I'm 4/5ths of the way though I'll see it though somehow.

 

[Jarmel]

They're doing animation assistance on it. So yea they're helping animate it. The ED is all CGI so I'm wondering if Sanzigen did that.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I am sad no one has licensed Kagewani yet, even though CR picked up the other two members of the Ultra Super Anime Time block. That's the most interesting one out of the three.

They are credited for Animation Production Assistance, which means they are helping out the main animation studio on the project, which is Creators in Pack.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Yes so glad Funi got Starmyu. Was afraid itd be passed up and shingeki

I think someone mentioned on Twitter that Creators in Pack is attached to Trigger in some capacity anyway.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Hmm all of these answers are so conflicting. With school and all, my time is limited now. If the Lupin in the movie isn't the same as the one in the series starting this season, it'll kinda defeat the purpose of me taking the time to watch it, even if it is a good movie in its own right. I think I'm just gonna wait it out for the anime series to start, and worst comes to worst I'll check the wiki like Admiral said.

He is Lupin. The same Lupin.
He is a great thief, with plans, and panache, and a silly laugh, and a weakness for hot women, and a heart of gold.

All the "different" Lupins from series, ovas and movies, are one and the same, it's just that sometimes in one series the silliness is more accentuated, in other the lecherousness is, and in others the heart of gold.

I think his point is that it's not necessary since any incarnation of a Lupin story will present those relationships to the viewer in obvious ways.

Yep.
I doubt the Lupin I watched on tv in my infancy was the original series, and I don't even think I saw the episodes in order, but *gasp* even my 11 years old self could get it.

The doubts of "I don't know I will understand this now without prep time" are laughable. Maybe he is expecting another type of series, but Lupin III isn't exactly high-level intellectual stuff.

 

[Sölf]

Hackadoll 01
Hm. Well. That was... whacky. But not really good or bad. Maybe another episode to decide?
Also, what was that ending, Vocaloid MMD video?

 

[BassForever]

Wait Funimation is simulcasting the new Gundam?

 

[CheapJuice]

Ushio to Tora - 14

Really enjoying this show as of late. Plenty of fun Tora reactions in this episode, his little rolls and when he impersonated the spear was great.
I didn't expect there to be this many characters in this show, already introduced two more! Hope to see more of the slapping lady, she also mentioned Nen, I think that's the first I've heard of it, usually they just say Aura?

I noticed Hyou in the ED so hopefully he'll make a comeback soon. Tora's fight in the end was nice, and he got freaky as hell at the end!

The humor in this did absolutely nothing for me. It has energy, it's too bad it's not funny.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

And hulu and daisuki and crunchyroll

 

[dimb]

It's on everything. Daisuki, Gundaminfo, and Hulu are a week ahead of Funi+Crunchy.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

So EVA 3.33 may be finally see the light of day in NA. ANNCast had Funimation's Justin Rojas and brand manager Jennifer Fu on and they've stated that Eva 3.33 will be getting released in early 2016. Skip to around the 72nd minute to get to where they talk about Eva 3.33.

... how did it get delayed so badly in the first place?

I'm pretty sure "Gundaminfo" means Youtube. They just throw an embedded Youtube video on the site for new episodes, and they're located on the Gundaminfo channel on Youtube in a bunch of different languages.

Heavy Object OP

 

[Haly]

Is this like an AU where Jacuzzi and Nice are soldiers in a futuristic eEarth?

 

[BassForever]

Heavy Object OP

Is this mecha TMNT what is the technodrone doing in this series?

 

[duckroll]

The video has been removed.

 

[pbayne]

Apparantly the dub script was poorly translated I think I remember hearing that a while ago.

 

[Jarmel]

There's probably something wrong with the Earth's gravitational pull.

The script also by Trigger's employee.

 

[jonjonaug]

IIRC Khara was dissatisfied with the dub script and had Funimation redo the whole thing under their guidance.

Is this an alternate reality where humanity embraced the Ball as the perfect mecha design? Lol.

Pretty awful.

Aragoto's OP is fairly decent. The action cut at the end was fantastic.

Yep. I posted it for "completion's sake", I don't even pretend to watch the series.

I'll watch this just to see what the maker of Index does with a mecha series.

Hahaha I love how all the related videos are just mini animations of someone lifting a heavy object. Lol.

So what are the odds Noragami Aragoto is gonna have a BONES ending?

there should be an anime that's just about mechs being used to lift heavy objects

gargantia was almost this

 

[PdotMichael]

One day there will be a mecha anime where the fancy mecha are getting owned by simple tanks.

Gargantia also had annoying squirrels that wouldn't STFU so it loses points.

Your mech ain't a mech unless it's doing cool shit.

Awaiting a [Average Mecha Series] x Girls und Panzer Crossover now.

Don't worry

America will make it happen within the next year or two with the best battle ever

 

[Aaronrules380]

The U.S. mech still isn't a tank. Having treads doesn't make it a simple tank

 

[Sölf]

Will this be like those robot death battles in the 90s? Just on a bigger scale?

 

[nintendoman58]

I want a mecha V.S. magical girls show.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

The U.S. mech still isn't a tank. Having treads doesn't make it a simple tank

the upgraded concept art doe

it looks like a tank with chainsaws. Close enough

MURICA

Yep

Patriotism vs Nationalism

Murica Eagle vs Nippon steel

We had that already in the UK.

It was called Robot Wars.

Seriously, the simple designs always bested the overly complicated ones.

Tora continues to be Tsun tsun, and Ushio continues to grow his harem.
