I dunno what I'm doing wrong, I can't for the life of me work out how to get onto Crunchyroll US. On the other hand, I can get onto Hulu quite easily, and it as a surprising amount of anime on there.

Someone on my feed is doing work or something. Anyway, here are the new girls in Date A Live.
Horray to the berserker sisters !
Those who have read the books know why
So it's more Date A Live.

Gundam Build Fighters 1
For whatever reason the somewhat shameless concept of this didn't turn me off and in fact I kind of enjoyed it. Reiji was a bit of a twist on the situation and the combat animation looked really nice.
At first I thought Reiji

would be a pilot from space or something, but he didn't seem to know what a Gundam was so unless he pilots something other than a mecha, perhaps not.

I'm using media hint at the moment, so it at least works for those in the UK.
Yozakura Quartet was pretty cool. This is like the third adaptation of the source material right?
Wait, so those characters were okay to post after all? Huh. Can't be sure sometimes in this thread. Really wish there were some clear rules on what make something too lewd to inline or not...
Anyway, like they did with Free, KyoAni is posting birthday greetings from the rest of the Kyoukai no Kanata characters for the character whose birthday it is today, namely Akihito:
http://anime-kyokai.com/special/birthday/
The best part is Akihito's own voiceclip at the end, talking about a birthday present of a "glasses harem."

Yes, yes it is.
You should watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
Kyoukai no Kanata though maybe not in the way you expect.

"I know this voice from somewhere", I was thinking the whole episode...then I remembered today at work, "Ah, she is Yayoi!". Now I know why Makoto-chan is so cute.
Oh, and also, the new Funimation website has finally arrived:

Also, they're apparently going to simulcast BlazBlue Alter Memory, but the new site is having issues and I can't find proof quite yet.

Valvrave The Liberator
I'm still working on that Member tag, I don't wanna be forever young
I really should and I have no idea why I didn't yet. Every time I read someone talking about it or see anything related to it it's pure hype.
My friend just watched it an loved it, definitely on my "to watch" list.
Heard about it, didn't know it was that kind of anime, will watch.

Dead Leaves and Panty and Stocking.
Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta 1
Ok I guess. Animation during the fight sequence was decent but not exactly mindblowing. Music was much better than I expected. I also like the new artstyle for the series.
Probably Escaflowne.

Hm, haven't watched a thing in weeks, though I did at least manage to finish the two things that I was remaining current with.
[Watamote]:
Perhaps it did stray a little too much with its message, and overall, probably acted a little too jovially for the tone it often implied it was reaching for, but if offered enough to see me through to the end. Though, Tomoko wasnt really what kept me watching, because truth be told, her character was entirely deplorable, and it wasnt hard to see that her situation was more a factor of her poisonous personality, than it ever was due to her hobbies/interests. For as much as the central theme is loneliness and isolation, she both laments and embraces her position in equal measure. When any kind of narrative crossroad is reached, it ultimately leads to a minor fix, with Tomokos conviction (or lack thereof) being the one thing that maintains the status quo. That, in essence, is her character, so I was never going to be surprised that the anime would take that tact - I just would have liked for it to offer more at its conclusion. As it stands, it just sort of stumbles through the last couple of episodes, before setting right back where it began. Not that I have a problem with that being the ending, rather how it arbitrarily settles there.
The show schizophrenically portrays Tomoko, simultaneously wanting us to (mockingly) laugh at her, while also feeling sympathy. Ambivalence is how I would ultimately describe my feelings towards the story, as it never manages to quite strike a balance, and so those moments of poignancy, largely come across feeling wrought. If it had existed purely as self-contained episodes of sketches (which pretty much what the first half was), I probably would have enjoyed of it a lot more. I just ended up confused as to what it was trying to achieve. Dramatically, it was far too broad to ever really hit, and as mentioned, erratic. It essentially began as a comedy, that wasn't all that funny, and ended up quite maudlin.
Enjoyable, all the same, but I feel as though it squanders itself.

No it's newer than Escaflowne. It's not popular at all and I think the title starts with a D

Too bad about that last half.
Kyokai no Kanata - 01
I thought it was pretty good. The action was top notch and it had really solid direction. I'm a sucker for plots that sound like they're from a JRPG so I didn't have much of a problem with the setting. The characters all seem to be dumb as bricks though so I hope that improves over time.

He said the ED theme was fantastic, so that would rule out Escaflowne.
Ok now Im sold as fuck. I was already. My heart is probably not ready.
Code Geass is what you seek.

First you throw our friendship away, now you stab me in the back with a poison knife. What's next I wonder...
I agree, I was just thinking of the 'mechs with swords' theme.

Though I'm certainly open to and often enjoy incest themes in works, I don't know that I want to be associated with that exclusively >.>
I mean, I enjoy an awful lot of different tropes and fetishes, controversial and otherwise. Incest isn't even particularly high up on the list.

At that point you'd be dead. I don't think he can do anything to you. Since you're dead though, you can haunt his ass now. =D
No Break Blade is 2012 isn't it? Still need to watch the last ep of that.
I thought of it when someone mentioned Casshern in another thread if that helps. The ending theme is so beautiful. Aaargh I need to hear it!
Yeah that's what I think he's thinking.
It's only 4-5 years old but it's not Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari, is it? It has a nice ED and has mechs in that I think fight with swords.
The only other suggestion I have is maybe Break Blade because I like the final ED and it again has mechs with swords. (EDIT: I see I'm a bit slow on that front).
ANOTHER EDIT: - Wings of Rean?
There should be more Sakura wars anime. Particularly starring Erica.
So its on Funimation? Damn well thats gonna limit my access to Unbreakable Machine Dolls till I get to my PC
Damn. Harsh.
Tomoka ♡
OMG I remembered it. Damn, I have a pretty good memory
It was an OVA called Karas. Nothing particularly memorable but the ED:

And I should have know it was by Rurutia <3

I'd never even heard of Gentosha until a few days ago when I marathoned Uchouten Kazoku / The Eccentric Family with a friend.
That was a pretty cool show.

Oh nice Tokyo Ravens was on my list for wanting to be streamed. Hope its added to Hulu swiftly.
Oh ok so youve seen it.
FOr some reason I stopped watching S2 at episode 8 or so and never went back to it. Maybe I just got tired of how ridiculous it was. But Season 1 was definitely marathon material.
What? Karas isn't about mechas.
And it's awesome :C
But yeah, Selenite is great.
Yeah, S2 got a bit too dumb, but the ending was well worth it.
Yeah, I'm a failure.
The well, kinda is the best part! That's what pushed me over the edge and taught me to love Valvrave.
