Ginga e Kickoff 23

Stubbarn masaru-chan-san was almost getting to be annoying. But at least, and once again

Spoiler

Kota-kun

proved he's the best character.

I thought Total Football was an Area no Kishi exclusive, didnt think Total Football was also here too (will they even have New Total Football)

 

[-Minsc-]

And she is like the only normal female besides otose.

Otae - Sadist/petty
Kyuubei - Hardcore tomboy lesbian
Sa-chan - Masochistic stalker

Not mention the only female to get groped by Gintoki and have 2 major badass arcs. She is the best.

Tsuki - Cheap/dangerous drunk

So moe.

Finally the only reason to watch this movies is here!

Holy shit that was amazing on so many levels. That China Town action scene with Makoto was so deliciously Jackie Chan that I couldn't help but smile.

Guys, Makoto is fucking awesome.

Anyway, should we be excited? Who do you think this person is?

Osamu Kobayashi

(lol)

I'm assuming it's a bad thing if I've never seen Evangelion.

School days is a unique and special experience.

These foolish things. Kaoru is popular with the females now. He went from an insecure puppy, to a confident man. Ofcourse Ritsuko notices this, and suddenly gets feelings for him. I wonder why... Foolish girl. Girl 2 changes, loves other guy to death. Sentaro finally realizes this. There is another girl waiting for him, or atleast, there was...

I can already see how this turns out, but I love to be proven wrong. This show is so unpredictable, and thats one of the reasons why it is good.

 

[Pooya]

I'm assuming it's a bad thing if I've never seen Evangelion.

No, don't worry about it...

 

[Canis lupus]

Yes you did girl, don't have a change of heart now.

 

[Steroyd]

I'm assuming it's a bad thing if I've never seen Evangelion.

You know what must be done.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

I'm assuming it's a bad thing if I've never seen Evangelion.

Not at all. That's a great thing. It means you still get to watch Evangelion for the first time!

 

[Articalys]

Well, looks like we'll get the Senran Kagura anime sooner than we think -- it starts airing January 2013.

 

[Grzi]

I'm assuming it's a bad thing if I've never seen Evangelion.

Watch RahXephon first.

 

[JCG]

pretty sure, you would enjoy the [Planetes] manga more than the anime. You should give it a try (and the anime was just the first half of the story...).

Well...not exactly. It's more like the manga and anime ended up diverging and going for two different angles instead, which is ultimately made rather obvious by almost everything that happens during the second half of the show. There's little or no manga content involved by then. I didn't mind though, since that's probably the best part of the anime. The original manga is good too, and I can see why some people might have preferred a completely faithful adaptation (as usual, they started working on the show without waiting for the ending), but hey...I think both are enjoyable in their own ways.

Also is this set of steps:

The same as this set of steps from Kimagurae Orange Road

http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/zz278/Jexhius/KOR.png

or am I just going senile? I guess it's a pretty bad sign if you can start recognising individual locations in Japan that aren't really obvious landmarks like skyscrapers.

Well, apparently those stairs as such don't exist. It is said, and from what I remember searching for information on this very same subject some time ago, that it was loosely based on a 100-step stair (http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/tamlc/imgs/f/d/fdf31b46.jpg) that exists in Okamura Town, Yokohama (Kanagawa Prefecture):

Kanagawa-ken Yokohama-shi Isogo-ku Okamura ３丁目２３−１２ Japan - Google Maps
http://maps.google.com/?q=Kanagawa-ken Yokohama-shi Isogo-ku Okamura ３丁目２３−１２ Japan

As you know, many other places from Yokohama City and its bay appear on Kimagure Orange Road (and specially in New Kimagure Orange Road: Summer's Beginning), so it isn't far fetched the author made reference to that one. I haven't seen any episode of My Little Monster yet, so I don't know to what locations makes reference of.

Osamu Kobayashi

(lol)

I'd find that exciting, if only for the possible meltdowns!

Poor Arasan...

 

[madp]

Hey Mad Pierrot, remember Getter Robo Armageddon?

Haha, yeah, me neither, haha...

It's everyone's fault for telling me it gets bad after the third episode! I don't want to taint the good memories.

Enjoy the other 170 episodes full of monster of week filler, drama and reset buttons.

Episodic/self-contained/formula-driven =! filler. Why do people argue this?

Finally, an indirect answer to the team question.

 

[Articalys]

Here's something interesting: the upcoming One Piece Film Z will have its theme songs performed by Avril Lavigne, of all people.

This year's 47th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is announcing on Monday that Canadian singer Avril Lavigne is contributing two theme songs for this year's One Piece Film Z film.

For the first time in the anime franchise, this next film will have two theme songs of its own: "How You Remind Me" and "Bad Reputation." According to the magazine, Lavigne herself is a fan of One Piece, and One Piece manga creator Eiichiro Oda is similarly a fan of Lavigne's music. After an exchange of letters and music between the two sides, the arrangement for the two theme songs were made.

Kids on the Slope 9


Love me or leave me. Now that Sentaro and Ritsuko renew their friendship, there is another chapter that is about to close. Yurika leaves with him, finally. I'm not a fan of how things turned out, but this is probably better for the show, and refreshing.

This is how you do romance in anime folks.

Kids on the Slope 10

Slow paced episode. Characters are not able to kiss, just like WttNHK.

The ending left me wanting for more.

 

[Canis lupus]

Man this show is like a gatling gun, it shoots everything at you, then cools off, then shoots everything back at you!

 

[Kazzy]

I'm glad that you're enjoying Kids on The Slope, but I was more about the bromance than the romance. And I'm curious to see what you'll make of the ending.

man i sure hope how you remind me doesn't mean this

guessing this is the bad reputation cover she's contributing. eww.


oda, why dont you have better music taste? T_T

.

What? It doesn't get bad. There's a different vision but it works and there's some of the finest mecha action you could ask for throughout. Just because it isn't as good as those first three doesn't mean it's bad!

 

[Damaged]

Man this show is like a gatling gun, it shoots everything at you, then cools off, then shoots everything back at you!

I enjoyed the show but I think I got more from reading the manga afterwards, answered a few questions for me.

Both the (b)romances are great. Sentaro and Kaoru forever. I love how they can't live without each other.


@Damaged: questions regarding the ending? I'm almost there.

It's a good thing, keep it that way.

Finally, an indirect answer to the team question.

Not quite. Only one team even exists at this point, so it's way too early to say anything.

A few things really, I'll leave it untill you have watched it though as its still an enjoyable show

Ah, so it's worth reading then?

Well, Grzi, now that someone's cut through the lies and slander, you can expect some episode impressions later today.

Hey, man, everyone else already decided on their team before the show even aired! The content of the actual episodes is inconsequential in this regard.

 

[Damaged]

Ah, so it's worth reading then?

Yeah obviously there is only so many details you can put into a half hour show so it fills our the story nicely.

At that point and episode, you could very well be of 'Team Azusa', for example, so... be true to your feelings and say that you are in 'Team Makoto', then you'll have something in common with the director, Mr. Nishigori! Now we only need Unknown Soldier to update his "Idoru Team Official Roster".

Hopefully those are all scenes from the first five minutes of the episode and the rest is spent in the game. I really don't want another real world episode.

Well, Grzi, now that someone's cut through the lies and slander, you can expect some episode impressions later today.

Thank god!

Kamisama Kiss - 03

Still got it's charm, although i'm wondering what her deal is with school, she was adamant to go to school last episode and now she's just skipping?

 

[SDBurton]

Also Im gonna keep mentioning Simoun until someone watches it too.

Simoun is amazing and definitely one of my favorites.

Is that the yuri mech gender thinger? It's on my list because of you.

I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

:chu is the new :SD

Lol. Kids on the Slope is very easy to watch, its always interesting. I'm thinking of watching Mirai Nikki next.

Great end. For once they're alone. But whats up with the move Kaoru did on her? Doesn't fit the show at all, very illogical. Anyway,

Spoiler

the bros finally get reunited and play their favourite music, Moanin once again. How did they get by 8 years without hearing from each other? Thats a longass time.

This show was very interesting. I'd give it a 9, but I'll deduct 1 point for the dumb move Kaoru made at the start of the last episode.

Well deserved 8/10.

 

[Hellsing321]

I'm assuming it's a bad thing if I've never seen Evangelion.

A very bad thing.

Surprised to see an anime still shot of 9/11 in Jormungand.

He should consider himself lucky for not watching a whiny kid interact with the world.

This is anime. We've all seen that done a million times already. At least it was well done in Evangelion.
