It's a good show, but I'm not sure why it's been elevated to untouchable classic status because it doesn't deserve that.
Nostalgia goggles, I'm guessing.
It's okay.

as someone who watched it like 2-3 years ago I remember the heavy sci fi aspect kind of ruining the fun spaghetti western part.

I said I wasn't going to touch this! Not even a ten... Goddamnit it's time I buy a bigger pole. I will not fall down this rabbit hole.

Wait, did U just read that you haven't watched Clannad yet?
It's next after Hyouka...
Is Macross that bad?
Toonami exposure and slim pickings back then, I'd say. Heck, it might have been up there comparatively with other stuff that had come out.
There's no such thing as bad Macross, only bad viewers.
pretty sick
Good catch.

Macross 7 is amazing. I wish anime had more Nekki Basaras.
It's from Lupin vs. Conan: The Movie. On Hulu now! And that sure does look like Kaito, doesn't it?
It's actually Lupin in disguise.
It's worth noting for people who might not know: the series isn't known for huge action animation or anything. All that is reserved for the movies and specials like the few webms posted already.
I actually got into the series because I loved what I saw on Adult Swim too. I had a friend who, almost jokingly knowing the full length of the series, got me the first season on DVD. That was about 7 years ago and I sort of just fell in love with it. I just watched the show gradually and eventually caught up. It sounds like this big herculean task until you start watching it— not to finish it— but just to enjoy it. I didn't really care about getting caught up, I just watched it when I felt like it. But there was also a kind of allure to how big and impenetrable it was. I kept seeing this big picture with a ton of characters and wanted to know how they came into the story. It was rewarding in that way.

I think you could probably label most Akame ga Kill characters that
Except Bols
Leone and Esdese exist

this looks like an exact scene from Castle of Cagliostoro unless I'm going crazy.

I pretty much watched the show for Esdeath X
All their moments made my youthful heart pound with angst.

This is the best anime of the season.

I mean, kind of. It too features a small yellow car ramping up the side of a cliff.

Don't worry, I think mostly everyone did that.

Attaching good to anything from Akame Ga Kill seems like a oxymoron.
Maybe the music is kinda okay.

Guess I was seeing some similarities and my mind instantly thought they were the same. I stand corrected lol

Durarara X2 1-12 - Hoo, that is a hell of a cliffhanger. Excited that I get to watch The Second Arc right away, bummed that the final part won't be for a bit.

Is it though
Yeah, it's pretty good. I think people can at least appreciate that it looks good and has good faces (the mark of good anime.)
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
I mean, it isn't afraid to kill the main cast brutally. Doesn't that count for something?
It is. It doesn't get more pure than complete and utter devotion.

Akame Ga Kill's biggest achievement was the hilarious way they'd shift from harem comedy to grim dark Berserk horror.

Since thats the most entertaining part, I guess. Really it just seems like a way to keep people invested without developing the characters at all since they are disposable.

I could appreciate it more if they actually killed people off in brutal ways, like mid sentence.
Instead it feels like the cast is trying to compete for who can have the brutal death scene. No one just dies.
They all having an elongated sequence about their life, and how much they want to live, while they're dying.
Still no Elfen Lied tho
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
Honestly I found myself incredibly irritated by the story and more motivated by the absurdity of the action and horror. And yeah, as the dude above said the bipolar tone shifts were fun.
The story is almost engineered to be ridiculous though.

Mirai Nikki Episodes 1 - 26
I'm watching the Dirty Pair Project Eden movie right now and I'm loving it so far. The opening theme was great, the action scenes so far have been amazing, and I just got to the part with "Wattsmannnnn!" being sung and I practically just died laughing. This movie is just so much fun!

Dragon Punch clearly understand the point of Future Diary.
This character is fucking awful.
Oh HAIL. NAW! You do not denigrate Best Boss and get away with it!
Oh... You're okay in my book now.
I felt the angst and being mesmerized by Esdeath's fierceness and Toonami logo on her sternum.
Pretty sure it was
Esdeath's foot torture, lol

I always check in every month or so if any important Detective Conan episode are about to come up. Just checked and they have filler shit until the middle of January god damn it. That's like 4 months of straight filler/anime originals.

That's actually a real thing. You're thinking of something else. Ask PartTimeWarrior or TUSR
I think they're compensating since the manga has been on hiatus due to Aoyama's health.
Have you seen the other Hosoda movies? His other movies do veer towards that Disney heartwarming type, so if you liked Wolf Children you'll probably like the rest.
Would definitely recommend the girl that leapt through time. And even Summer Wars is missable but enjoyable enough.

Alright so I'm putting this out here for you AnimeGAFfers that I keep an eye on like some dead relative who can't move on with their life. We old folks have saw the days of Smile Precure come by, a time where the community actually watched Precure and were exposed to a franchise that was made for a young audience. It is something that even darkside likes, despite not liking other series, including Heartcatch Precure.
So I am asking you who is willing to watch Glitter Force? The Saban Dub of Smile Precure? Would this be something even Shouta would watch for shits and giggles?
The dub as you can see is a "Netflix Original" (HA) and will start on December 18th. How will we see the dub get handled, beyond music changes (which I'm mixed on because the music blows already) and potential name changes thanks to ghetto 90s dubbing practices for kids shows?
Will it improve on things? Will they retain names, which is up in the air, given things like Digimon's strange localization of names? Who knows, what I want to know though, is are you willing to commit to watch Glitter Force and roll in the tears of our pain through this dub?
I'll watch a few to see what it's like at least. Smile was my first Precure series, so I have a soft spot for it even after watching all the rest of the meta-series.
