Kuroko isn't good looking show beside spesific moment that they giving focus/budget for actually, those sakuga cut is hype as shit tho

I only watched a few episodes of Black Jack 21, but I liked the little I saw of it from what I remember. It's been a while since then, haha.

Space Adventure Cobra the Movie
Turns out this was actually made before the TV series so might as well watch this first.
This movie kind of feels like a drug trip in a lot of ways, the visuals in some of the scenes where June is floating around in Newtype space with star pasties on her nipples and the slow and methodical soundtrack, plus some other scenes like when Cobra wakes up from being encased in ice or the dance club just have some real funky visuals. There's naked girl riding a horse made of energy and also Doctor Doom is in it. Cool on both accounts. Cobra reminds me a lot of Lupin, from the voice, reaction faces and his general attitude of going on some stupid crazy adventure because the girl was cute. The movie looks great, but overall nothing spectacular. There were a lot of cool action scenes that were neatly directed, and the plot was serviceable but nothing special. A good watch but I don't have a whole lot to say about it.

Ep really didn't' deliver on the promised PTSD angle which mostly a contrivance to give Hazama an angle to work with. It's reminiscent of the Vietnam stuff, this little arc started well before bumbling the rest of the way. I think there's also something lost by not being intimately familiar with the source material too as reveals happen without any bang to them out of viewer ignorance. It's like the Dr. Kiriko thing should (and may) have been a big deal but it never felt like one since I was left wondering who.
Just really wtf after how some people questioned the doctor as a Jewish caricature last week (rightfully so really) that he ended up a Nazi doctor given a new name by the CIA. srsly wtf anime

Space Adventure Cobra 9-10
How much does the movie cover? Until Cobra faces off against Crystal Boy?
So far there hasn't been a single situation that Cobra has ended up in that wasn't exciting. Cobra's self comparisons to James Bond from an earlier episode wasn't inaccurate, yet this ski escape was more exciting that many of the ski chases from the 007 series. This episode also had some fantastic retro sci fi design with the bold choice of a Piano Supercomputer controlled with the performance of classical music. There is zero logic to this design but it turns what would otherwise be a dull scene of waiting for a computer to analyse data into something much more novel.

Jessica Jones is AOTY. I mean, it's based on a manga after all.
Noragami Aragoto 8
Also, Nora is creepy.
I liked this episode, it seems to go further and further at the whole gods business. That Father seems to be a really mysterious person and it's weird that Yato listens to him and Nora. I don't really understand Ebisu's role to the story so far. He seems connected to Father but he hasn't done much so far. He seemed a lot more badass in the opening.

So what anime do you think have the best artstyle and/or animation quality?
I love the artstyle and animation quality of haikyuu!! so I would say that's the best one I've seen.
Just look at this, it's amazing
And I love monogatari artsyle too, but something just clicks with haikyuu!!

Digimon Tri 1-4
Really wish Toei wasn't animating this and it was another studio. Taichi outrunning the digimon chasing him in part 1 was just awkward to look at. You'd think this would have a bigger budget. Other than that and Taichi's questionable character morality issue, this was great.

I love how they eyes look in Haikyuu for some reason, it's really snappy or something.
Hyouka is probably one of the better looking anime that immediately comes to mind, which also happens to have good eyes!
Maybe I'm on to something here.

Redline looks good as well.
Nisekoi - 1
Just watched the first ep of that series remember reading the first ch of that years ago, which was alright from what I remember. The anime oh boy, you know in some movies there's over acting from actors that distract you from enjoying the film? That sorta felt like that when I watched the first ep, instead of overacting it's over directing, the way it was directed distracted you in an annoying way that took you away from enjoying what was going on with the story/characters. Does it continue to be directed that way? If so, I'm bailing out. This is Shaft but in it's most annoying ways possible.
Meanwhile Kamisama Hajimemashita ep 1 was an enjoyable experience. I rarely watch Shojo series but since it's by the guy who directed Now and Then, Here and There, and also done Jubei-chan and Fruits Basket too which I all enjoyed. Female lead Nanami is likeable and Tomoe while ignorant I see there's more to him than that. The Yokai setting is interesting watch too. Will watch more of this series.

Monogatari. I'm not sure if it's the best, but certainly it's my favourite.
Asterisk - 08
Color me surprised.
This was an entire episode dedicated to character development/dynamics between two side characters, Ayato and Julis had maybe 1 minute screen time.
There even was a pool scene without our male main character!
This was a nice little calm before the storm kind-of episode. I also have to say the battles looked really good, even though they were only practice matches. Saya and Kirin make a pretty good combination.
Looks like the tournament is going to start soon, looking forward to it!

Wasnt it originally going to air as a weekly tv anime?
The 4 episodes we got were one OVA/movie called "Reunion" that aired in Japanese theaters this weekend. That's why each episode ended on an odd note, since they were shown all together with no breaks and OP/EDs in Japan.
The next one is called "Determination" and that airs in Japanese theaters in March 2016. We should get it broken into 4 episodes around the same time.
Owarimonogatari 8
I found the episode a bit weak, as almost nothing happened until they met Shinobu. And Ononoki just appeared, did her..umm.. thing and left. It's interesting that it seems like there are some past apparitions on the mix though. We had the lost snail and now there's a monkey, which seems to have a crab hand based on the last instance. Vampire powers too... I also wonder what's Gaen role on this. She know everything and she seems powerful, but she seems to help when she has a benefit. Sounds a lot like Kaiki.
Anyway, at least we got some Ougi.

Monogatari's art style is actually insane. There are a lot of subtle variations in line color, gradient usage on character, and shifts in style that can be overlooked as you watch it. That combined with the French New Wave techniques used within the actual cinematography make it the most unique anime series ever made, in my opinion.

Man, I would so love to catch up on the past 4 episodes and see some red colored Ougi right now, but my laptop is kind of sort of dead. This on top of my DVD drive being uncooperative and not properly loading up my Utena Disc 1, which I know it has zero scratches.
Really fucking mad about this, and I can't even do anything else like buy tickets to RenFest for tomorrow.

I haven't, will keep it in the back of my head.
From just looking at the MAL description it's based on Japanese poetry or something, does this actually translate when watching it with subs?
You just discovered this? They always had a manga section.
NaDannMaGoGo

I'm quite sure you'll get a slightly better experience if you could actually understand Japanese and it's a bit weird with subs since that Karuta game depends on the verses being spoken. However, it isn't actually a real issue, especially considering that the reaction speed of the characters is so high that you wouldn't be able to hear anything before they react anyways.
It really isn't a big detriment, you'll see that yourself though, I'm sure.
It seems that this is only worth watching if you have any attachment to the original series. Even as a person that loved the original, it sucks that this looks like another one of those shows that panders to nostalgia, leaving it be medicore by its own merits.
I mean what with all the other recent Toei revivals, it would have been surprising if this wasn't the case.
It sounds like we need Shouta's expertise on the matter, haha

Owarimonogatari 08
This episode was channeling Nise with the foot fetish stuff. Someone couldn't contain themselves any longer. Always a contest to see who can humiliate Arararagi the most.
And that was totally a crab at the end. Maybe Gaen wasn't talking about what we think she was and those 5 apparitions are something different.
First 10 episodes I think?
Not gonna include movies because movies would dominate both categories -
Artstyle - Mononoke, Bakemonogatari, Gankutsuou, Katanagatari, Lupin 2015, Ping Pong, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Animation Quality - Space Dandy, Dennou Coil, One Punch Man, Yu Yu Hakusho, Nichijou (pretty much every KyoAni show) Evangelion

The Eccentric Family set is great, and that's a good price.

Genestella = Mutant/Superhuman/I've got powers. Prana = Magic Points/Mana/etc
It's not too hard if you're looking at where the word is being used. It's only really confusing at first. Lots of series give special terms for this stuff, so it's not like it's a first, lol.
Asterisk 8
An episode entirely dedicated to Saya and Kirin. Nice. You don't get that often in a show like this, lol. Only part that gave me a headache was listening to Kirin and no-namer. It was basically DESU NO and DESU the entire time. Ergh. Also, what's with the super tiny bikini on the no-namer? I guess they gotta get in a bit of sexy.
I did like Saya just pulled no bunches and ended that fight instantly, hah.
Rakudai 8
I can't say I was very invested in the plot of the episode and the development for Ayase but at least we get a decent brawl out of it. It's starting to look like Ikki is way more OP than underdog though.

I wish this was even the case. It's not even doing a good job of pandering to nostalgia given the replacing of the entire cast.
It's more seeming to target people who thought the original was alright, but haven't thought about it much in the last 14 years.
