Waiting for NeraGaku to start. Was sat with BluWacky until some really tall gent came and sat right infront of me. Relocation seemed rather sensible. In the mean time...
Caught up all the episodes of Nichijou minus ep 0. I really enjoyed it, and I hope someday there will be a miracle and the anime series will be able to continue.
I've been crying manly tears all morning. Will anime ever be as good again after Getter Robo Armageddon?
Why do people suggesting skipping My Conquest Is the Sea of Stars? I started with that, and seeing as it was the first thing animated and it comes first chronologically, it seems like the best place to start.
@DTL: Interesting review. Deadman Wonderland is the next show I'll watch.
Well... we're down to the last thousand guys.
If you do make sure it's the english dub.
I miss old animation... love DYRL
Imagawa still lives and breathes, who knows when he might be called upon to save anime again?

I thought he was just called Deus, because as far as I'm aware, in the anime Ive never heard the say Deus Ex Machina.
While that technology is theoretically pretty cool the way it's implemented in the world of Psycho Pass suggests that it's basically being used to cover up the reality of the world that the characters live in. Akane may have the illusion of living in a nice apartment, but her room is actually cold, sterile and unpleasant. It's a thin veneer on the top of a society whose order is maintained by literal thought police which certainly isn't a very attractive world to live in. It's not meant to be a future you'd want to inhabit.
Got the DVD set and a few of the manga volumes on order now too. I wish that I had gotten back into anime a couple years earlier!I may not know you personally, rpmurphy. But you've done me proud, friend.

From time to time people explain to me that the CG in Macross Zero isn't that bad. Maybe they're right. Still, it's hard to come down off:
They absolutely said his full name in the anime.
Don't listen to the buzzkills in here. Deadman is a great show with a ton of crazy in it. Toonamigaf loved it for that reason. I imagine you would like it as well.
Just be prepared for a non-ending that would require reading the manga to continue.
Soooo good and smooth.

Oh. My. Gosh. Ugh. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a symbolic representation of what he's actually going through.That looks like a much better show than what we ended up getting. Too bad.

It's almost unfair to pick the best of the best though. The entire Max/Milia sequence there is a high bar for any show let alone just the Macross franchise itself.
Oh my gosh. What the.....
Looks cute. Too bad Gainax is now dead and zombified.
True, but it's not a one-off. Many works in the franchise have stand out moments, just look at a well known example like Macros Plus.

Macross: Do Your Remember Love? was the very definition of a crazy one-off project, though.I don't feel like modern animation has a problem with smoothness, modern character animation can be pretty damn excellent, but you certainly wont see really detailed mechanical animation in this day and age unless it's some crazy one-off project. Traditional backaround animation is very rare as well.
If you are enjoying Medaka Box... what else do you want?Looks cute. Too bad Gainax is now dead and zombified.
Macross Plus is an OVA. Gundam Unicorn is an OVA. Hmmmm....

Macross Zero is an OVA too!
Absolutely, but you could look to a number of projects in the 80's/90's, even TV works, and see various techniques and skills on display that no longer exist. It wasn't just regulated to one movie a decade.Macross: Do Your Remember Love? was the very definition of a crazy one-off project, though.
Speaking of Macross, I've been wanting to get into the series for a while.
Where should I start and what should I avoid?
There were plenty of OVAs with not so great animation when Macross Plus was released too. Not sure what your point really is!
I assumed you point was that I was selectively choosing works that, by their nature, were going to have high production value.
