They actually don't, if its absence in their episodic discussion archives is anything to go by.
Shelter was pretty great, and it's silly that they made a stupid kneejerk reaction like that.
So what would they do about Insterstellar 5555?
To be fair, Thunderbolt Fantasy is literally not animated. It's not stop motion, it's puppet theater.
I really do need to watch beyond the first episode at some point, especially since everyone's been telling me that it's great.

I'd buy a shirt like that! For just 12 dollars? Hell yeah!
As for the show, it's fine. Nothing special so far. Art quality took a big hit, and the direction is perhaps best described as serviceable. The way Victor bounces between his too straight faced flirtations and jabbing coach persona is kinda dull. It's not terribly enjoyable on its own, nor do I feel like it's building to anything.

Internet power. I don't even want to know what shelter is.
Death threats are never the answer.

Damn, I wish Namco would do that with that special jacket they've been selling.
So I looked into Cornbread's most recent posts, and I'm not completely sure why he got banned... I know the Red dead Redemption 2 thread has been rife with bans, but I didn't really see much ban-worthy in his posts... was it because he was trying to derail with Cowboy Bebop talk? People seem to be getting their jimmies rustled over a teaser poster and those who didn't agree with the rustling got banned (with a few exception, of course) which seems... weird. Oh well. Hopefully Cornbread comes back soon.
anywho, for impressions time
Heart x Hybrid (all) [End (and I highly doubt i'll watch season 2...)]
>.> Its bad. Its porn, lets not kid ourselves. I will admit that the first 3/4ths of episode 11 are actually pretty hype though (even if it is a damn asspull.) Episode 12 is just dumb and basically a really dumb embarassment fetish and even pee fetish episode while... basically rounding off most of the plot. Then we get a sequel tease and a "to be continued". Also: THIS IS NOT A GOOD CHARACTER COSTUME DESIGN, FUCK THIS SHOW:
But in all honesty, episode 8,9,10, and 12 are some of the worst filth I've seen
. Most of the plot elements are ass (pun not intended) and... its just bad. I still think that Lance n' Masques is worse, but this is a close... second or third. Haven't decided if I hate it more than Upotte yet. Not sure if I disliked this or Aesthetica of a rouge hero more either... I think the extra sad thing though is that despite trying to inch into "ecchi" territory (which I think it fails at) its not good as an ecchi show, and its not even all that good as a hentai either. There's better shit out there if you need that kind of fix...
I decided to do a bit of a test to see if it was because of the "ecchi" or because of the the fact it was basically porn that i didn't like this show so I gave the first couple of episodes of "My wife is the student council president"'s second season a shot.
My Wife is the student council president +! 1-3
(I question why the first 3 episodes of the uncensored version are up, but only 2 episodes of the censored version are up right now)
So, yeah, this series is definitely unabashedly ecchi and gets a bit too far sometimes. Yet I still didn't actually hate it while watching. Had a few slight chuckles, though not hearty laughs, and the characters are likable enough. It was so weird how a show that was .... well, THIS, felt like a breadth of fresh air after Hybrid x Heart.
I think it might be because this show knows very well what it is and doesn't try to be anything more without actually needing to, where as Hybrid x Heart is paced, acted, looks like, and is basically porn but is constantly going "no-no ITS NOT PORN, okay!!!" which just feels petty. It also helps that This show is a short and has characters who aren't as annoying, boring, and as 3d as tissue paper. That's not to say i'd ever recommend this show, just that its fine.
Stay far far far away from this show.
Kiss him, not me 1-2
So, I read the manga for this (it updates slow), so I know what I'm going into. For those wondering, no the manga doesn't get any less shallow than this, and yes, all the characters (except one, and you know which one) are super shallow and pretty much stay that way for the most part. The show and manga start off as a semi-interesting premise, but never really go anywhere with it, so don't expect much going forward.
Its not horrible though, I'll say that much.
That said, the second episode suffered from Yamada-kun levels of horrible audio mixing. Couldn't hear what the characters were saying over the music. Oh and did the main voice actress do her lines in a different place to everyone else? She always had a weird quality to her audio like there was a slightly off reverb. It was very noticeable, though I may be mistaken.

On the way to finally see Shin Godzilla with my father and my wife. I've been dying to see it but our schedule didn't really allow for earlier. Doesn't help that the nearest theater is a solid hour away.
Dad's kinda interested since my family has always been into Godzilla, enough to own most of the films anyway. He's seen Eva, but barely remembers it. Liked it though.
My wife has only seen a handful of Godzilla films though, only a select few I got her to watch. Although she generally liked them. Oh and she's never seen Eva.
As for anime updates:
Ninja Girl and Samurai Master 3, 0:
Still such a funny and cute show. Its jokes aren't exactly amazing, but otherwise it's just so charming
Occultic;Nine episode 2:
Much better pacing, although I didn't have trouble with the first episode. I feel like this might be one of the most divisive shows of the season.
Poco's Udon World episode 2:
Still fun, and was a little more original now that we got to the fantasy aspect a bit more. Still feel it's a poor man's barakamon though.
Monster Hunter Stories: Ride on episode 3:
Mostly watching it because I love the franchise, otherwise it's mostly just a decent kid's video game tie in show. I did really like the exploration of the relationship, or lack there of between hunters and riders

Cross post from the MV thread but someone on reddit TL'ed the letter that flashed on screen during the Shelter video.

I mean rather 'one or several moronic mods' as the subreddit is evidently in favor of shelter being anime and appreciated content.
Gotta love mods throwing hissy fits.

Really nicely done and sounds great (I do like electronica), I wish we could get a season of little one shot stories like this with different artists and stories. Hopping between genres and using whatever art felt like the best match for the music or story. One of the things I liked about Sengoku Collection was that they let each story hop between genres and art styles episode to episode, I'd love to see more shows like that.

Monster hunter stories is a kid show but damn if Im enjoying the connection to the games. I doubt we'll see a Jhen Mohran but I can still hope. Also Monster Hunter Lore is pretty wack.

Oh my god a Jheh Mohran fight would be awesome!
Same, and Shelter is not a very good substitute.
Yeah, but for all we know "critical feedback" could be considered a death thread under their definitions.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. Silver lining, that got me to watch Shelter so alls well that ends well.
Shelter Yeah this was pretty good. I enjoyed it. I could really dig more anime music videos for all my favorite elctronica people. I could definitely get behind that. Enough to send death threats over the internet over whether it counts as 'anime' or not? Definitely not.

How many mirrors must she break to satisfy herself. This battle of winning Antoinettes approval isn't that different from 'notice me senpai'. And they play card games.
So basically I'm watching a high school drama, just with different stakes.
And Oscar is like yare yare daze I hate girls. While Andre wants his own harem, the dream of the french otaku.
Yes, that's how it went down in history.

You're in a deserted island and can only bring one Anime Gary stu with you.
Do you hang with a coconut instead?

Hyouka! finish it! very good for binge watching.
Durarara and Baccano are also good choices.
hummmmm

I always told myself I would never get a figma or nendoroid, but I may have to break my own rule...These are too cool for me to pass up on them!

I'm never been too sure what people look for in a bingewatch show? Short? Linear story? Good?
Bakuman- two kids want to become mangaka at Jump. Hijinks ensue.
Samurai Flamenco- Some guy wants to become a Kamen rider. Hijinks ensue.
House of Five Leaves- Some samurai in olde japan works gets work with some less reputable characters. Drama ensue.
Mushishi- Some guy walks to a place and does stuff. Chilling ensues.
What kind of Gary are we talking about? Like Kirito where he's basically videogame jesus? Or some slice of life Gary where I have to fall in love with his subtle seductions by the end?

If you're a fan of sports stuff, then I hear very good things about Baby Steps and Ping Pong
loved the manga of Baby steps. thank you. keep forgetting it's a anime now.

My Hero Academia is pure fun and hype.
While much less realistic Kuroko's basketball is pretty hype
Seven deadly sins is a great action shonen
Ajin is a dark gritty seinen, it has some nice action.
If anything else comes to mind I'll edit.
