I can confirm that K-On director Naoko Yamada not only dresses kind of like Yui, she also spells in English like her too
Wow, I'm jealous. The spelling mistake makes it better!
I didn't mind the dad so much, maybe the squinty eyes made him seem older to me. Though the mum did make me think he should probably be arrested.

Wasn't it Toradora that had some ghosting issues or something to that effect? I'd still like to pick that up although it'd probably be just the standard editions at this point.
Nice pick-ups! Great show choices. You should enjoy all of that.
Its slightly better in some ways, but I dont like the look.
Yeah. Its too hard edged and sharp. I prefer the softer look, although its a bit blurrier. It fits the show though.
If this is true, then that is yet another show that failed to sell yet has a sequel coming when far better sellers are being cancelled. Interesting turn of events.
Hey, I pointed out how awful the CG mansion was last week, but for some reason David Production haven't fixed it yet. I can't see how anyone with an artistic eye could let such an abomination into their work. LOOK AT IT:
Looks fine to me. It fits with the style of the show.
brb chucking my Vita in the nearest lake.
good taste.
I guess that'd explain why the JoJo ED on youtube haven't been nuked.

Now I will have no idea whose who anymore!
Yeah it did but that was also their very first release and it never happened again. They also had issues with audio on another release but I didnt get that one.

What a huge price difference between dvd and blu version.
well, one of those is a US DVD release the other is bluray in Japan. BLuray in the US would be about 10$ more expensive than the DVD.

Pokemon B/W Rival Destinies 35
We get our first Black/White 2 gym fight.
We see a Koffing!
We get a guitar version of the gym battle theme.
We get an actual competent gym battle and Ash is actually using his rarely seen Pokemon.
We get another episode of this? It's like magic!

Oh my gosh.... really? Come on....
Shots like this make the show even better.Hey, I pointed out how awful the CG mansion was last week, but for some reason David Production haven't fixed it yet. I can't see how anyone with an artistic eye could let such an abomination into their work. LOOK AT IT:
They also fixed the Toradora/Persona Trinity Soul releases (I've still got both sets of disks at home).

Scrolling through this thread I became really worried for Hito for a second.
Well until I checked (yeah they made me google the thread).
So I am bothered by these avatars too.

I read through the discussion and I actually like the portrayal of Rikka.
With her behaviour she is at odds with societal expectation and if the anime portrayed that in a negative light it would blindly adher to the perform and functionality pressure (which creates a lot of disfunctions in the first place) Rikka is a countermodel against.
(I think especially Japan has a very high suicide rate among young people)
Let them teenagers be dumb, seriously.
Also lacking self-awareness is a very good thing at that age, which is exactly why teenagers do not have any.

Everything is okay now!
Thats what I was talking about. Toradora was one of if not the first NISA release.
K. Can I change my avatar now?
Yeah, the first parts of Toradora and Persona were NISAs initial Anime releases.

I would say the Diamond/Pearl era was good but it has gotten really good once they did the whole Black/White wipe and got rid of boring Brock.
I see.
I guess it can be quite enjoyable when there is nothing else to watch... I love Pokémon but never really bothered watching the anime.

I think there is a big difference between "dumb" and to lose touch with reality.
Though it's not like that KyoAni will ever address this chunni thing in a serious way. They will add more crazy girls and they will do cute chunni things together.

Don't you have some avatar bet to check up on? You normally do.
No one wants to bet me. I don't know why.

Woah man, Brock was awesome. Though I did enjoy what I watched of B/W, should really get back into it again. First ED ruled.

From the New World 3
Loved this, fantastic stuff. There's a couple minor issues I have with how some of the less significant scenes are handled this week, mainly with some shot selection and scene cuts, but I can accept it considering the visuals and direction are generally impressive in this show, particularly during key segments. The opening was outstanding of course, there was something very vivid about the animation and colors on display there. What I really enjoyed about the show this week though was how well the sense of discovery translated from the kids to the viewers. As they were exploring this unfamiliar territory, I sort of felt right there with them. The music and banter work well to set the tone, and you are left with the impression that they are questioning their world as much as the audience is. The children seem to know about as much about their world as we do, almost all their information comes from second hand stories and rumors, and they often seem unsure about so much around them. It's something I find puts me on the same level as the characters I am watching, and am able to relate to them as such.
Oh yeah, lets keep it going with the wardrobe changes, that shit is the best. Particularly in a show where the setting allows for different styles of clothing we are not completely familiar with. Looking forward to what is revealed next week. Exciting stuff!

animate the flight sequences, it's rare that you see flight without CG outside of shows like Strike Witches.

Indeed. Frying pans, jelly donuts, what's not to like?

Brock was awesome before they ran out of things to do with him.
Cilan is just amazing in everything.
Being ugly is a style?

I actually think my favorite part of this shot is that Jojo seems to randomly be doing the moonwalk.
K-ON!! - Episode 15
A marathon is the least likely thing for the band to participate in, so naturally Yui does her best to duck out of it, in any way possible. I guess a decision was made to further explore the range of Yui's VA, as she pretty much gets by making a range of ridiculous sounds, and trying to sing whilst out of breath (more impressive than it sounds), becoming more animated as the episode moves on, it's truly something to behold.
The moment where the footage actually started to rewind was incredible, and the end to the race was all round ridiculous. This was just a fun episode, and it involved all the characters, even Tomi! So there are bonus points there too. And Sawako got her just deserts, serves her right for torturing Yui before the race.
Mio, you did it again.
The assembly line.

Even Strike Witches used CG. I don't remember how much, but I think they used quite a bit.
This is SO WEIRD!
Don't even joke about things like that.
Surely that would've only helped to make the scene even more awesome.
I can't unsee it now.
Hidamari Sketch - 12 [END]
One season down with 3 more to go!
With memorable characters and cuteness out the wazoo, I can see why it's a favorite.
YunoxMiyako and HiroxSae make the world go 'round.
And
Should be arrested for being so adorable. Holy shit.
Specials for season 1 are next.
