Always the same answer...

I feel like a girl in a relationship with an alcoholic, she keeps trying to get him to stop drinking and he always uses the same excuses.

I'm getting you off the booze Envelope!

Unfortunately, this guys are doing it on their own and they even are the only right holders of this properties in countries like France, no one can prevent this from happening...

... well, their company could go bankrupt... or something, but as they have already sold these productions at the ongoing MIPCOM (http://www.animationmagazine.net/events/mipcom-day-2-wrap-more-toon-deals-and-pick-ups/)... very difficult now to avoid that this... 'things'... could see the light of day.

Chunibyou demo Koi Ga shitai! ep 2
Remind me why Kyoto animation hasn't done a shonen show yet? Anyway dat sakuga although all it was in her imagination. Best part of the show is Tsuyuri just tagging along for the fun.

edit:
Lite 3
Jun fukuyama does a good job switching his lelouch persona on the whim. At least this dark flame master got some sense when it comes to reality.

Sushio's Sanji is like... exponentially cooler! Specially with those glasses on Mr. Hosoda's movie...
Click to expand...

Movie 6 is not the first time or the last time sushio worked on one piece or drawn sanji,

Sushio worked on Movie 2 and did the sanji fight in that movie, his art & animation was lot better in that movie.

He also worked on the rocket man episodes in the water 7 arc in the tv anime.

Don't get me wrong I really like sushio's work just not the huge down grade in the quality of art in movie 6.

oh yeah also the baseball pirate king special.

Moe just makes shows more pleasing to watch because of the cute factor for some people.
What I was saying is that moe itself does not make or break a show. the other aspects of narrative and character writing and production values have much more to do with whether a show is good or not.

K-On is completely unwatchable for me because of the focus on... moe?

K-on is probably unwatchable for you because its just a cute show about girls doing cute things and doesnt really have a purpose otherwise.
However a show like, for example, Madoka Magica has a carefully and well written script, good character development, an intriguing story, and good production values. It still has moe, but its not the focus of the show.

Well, I was mainly (hence the "specially" on my previous post) talking about his work as an animation character designer, that I see as more personal than his work as animator over the concepts of others (even if there is an influence on anything he makes).

I haven't seen as a whole his work on the WATER 7 arc episodes, but I remember some scenes from Murad compilation videos... the scene when the Rocket Man sets-off, with all those slow-motion reaction shots, is lovely!

Great stuff. Man, I like this series because it fleshes out the character all the while remaining entertaining. Very enjoyable.

What's moe about Madoka?
The part where the witch eats Mami's head? Or the part where they discover that they are fucking dolls separated from their souls?

Sorry, but you totally didn't understand the point: even if you argue that the characters in Madoka are moe (which I don't think they are at all), it's not the focus of the show. It's an element. In K-On, on the other hand, it's the focus.

Wait, Lelouch and Jesus Yamato are still making these lists? This is why we can't have decent mecha show protagonists, Japan.


Well, at least Kotestsu's on there.

Whoa! let's not get ahead of ourselves for a minute here, you have to get to episode 3 to understand that it's not your typical magical girl anime, which is a barrier for some people if they don't like shows like K-ON or magical girl anime in general.

which is exactly what I said before. Madoka Magica didnt focus on moe, but it had moe. Moe itself doesnt ruin a show. all you did was agree with me!
Furthermore, Mami Tomoe won a damned Saimoe tournament lol.

Those action scenes were really nicely done. I don't understand why that other girl kept following them after she found out the cat wasn't hers. She looks like an airhead though.

I still don't know what kind of show this is gonna become.

So I just read the first chapter of Code Breaker and the anime really paints that one thing Ogami does in a really bad light.
