Should I feel bad that I saw Code Geass and...

well....

Speaking of the above I still have nightmares about a certain anime where every MC was yandere.
 


Music is mighty fine and the visuals get me so pumped for its airing 12 or so hours from now, if only a lengthy workday didnt stand in my way. Anyway looks really vibrant, fast and just plain fun. Hopefully every episode has moments like it as well as good character development and deep character interaction.

So far the OPs by known directors this season have been pretty disappointing:

- Ando's OP for Nagi is mediocre at best

- Kyoda's OP for Magi is really boring and generic

- Ishihama's OP for Ravens is eye cancer

It's standard shounen stuff, but Nakazawa should be commended for doing it solo and putting in some fabulous basketball animation.


Armchair animators are hard to please. Though the Magi one is pretty dull and unremarkable, and the less said about the ED the better.
I finished Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?, and I just had a stroke typing that name. But I liked it, God Mode Sue protagonist and all. That final episode with DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

Izayoi is incredible protagonist and needs to be the gold standard that future and aspiring light novel writers attempt to use in the design of their characters.

My bad, that Yami no to bobobobobo thing was a thing in Garzey's Wing, though. Gave him swan wings.
Say it with me: "Yamato Takeru no Mikoto"

Yami is something completely different, in that it's creatively horrible in every way but having a bad dub.
 
Space Brothers 69:
And suddenly, time is just flying by. They really pushed forward a lot in this episode. The last flight and moments with Mutta and Deneil were great. The relationship between the two of them turned into something really touching at the end. I'm glad for that.

It seems like Mutta could be heading for even bigger places, soon.
 
Syrinx started Motto! Ojamajo Doremi. Guess I can't slack off anymore.

Pokemon Origins 3

Lets talk Giovanni, in which they have swag fights, but you'd think Red's teams consisted mostly of Pikachus considering they take hits like a wet kleenex. Nice animations and whatnot, I like how Razor Leaf wasn't shown as a projectile, but an actual physical attack where the Pokemon dives in to strike.

But yeah, as an OVA, it succumbs to not having enough time to display everything.

Is Black Lion list material in the same vein as Garzey's Wing? I often see them both mentioned when the subject of hilariously awful dubs comes up.

You've been posting these. Are these fanart SAO images?

No. Official Art. That one I specifically posted was a part of a beach/pool set. This is the third one. The other 2 had Asuna, Silica, Lizbeth, and Leafa. The last one was blurred out and finally got revealed today.

Black Lion is in the category of campy shows made glorious with a hilariously campy dub. It certainly has its moments, but it doesn't quite reach the bar of Garzey's Wing on dub awfulness alone.

Go for Kenya Boy.

Ya know, for Africa.

I'm working through it alphabetically.

You know how horrible I am at everything.

AD Police 1

First 8 minutes and the following is my impression: there is a lot of violent rape/murder/violence against women porn going on in this. Like seriously, I know the dude's get blown up, but the way the women are sexualized and tortured is, well it is.

Huh. I still need to read those, but I have so many LN in the back burner due to hopes that they'll be made into anime. Majutsu no Index, Spice and Wolf I'm looking at youuuuuuuuuuu

Either ways do the other SAO arcs get better? The second arc in the anime left a REALLY bad taste in my mouth after how much I liked the first one.

It looks like the ageless cycle is beginning again.

Birth, death, bad anime. Not necessarily in that order.

What about Mad Bull 34? What's that? I know wonzo's a fan.
Just to be clear, my previous post about the Black Lion dub wasn't to dissuade you from watching, just explaining where it stands in the list. Please do watch it. It's great.

Mad Bull 34 is the anime version of the NYPD. Also a great watch.
 
They're not really "recommended" because they're good, but because of other reasons. You've been warned.

  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0 (Madpierrot personal recommendation but nobody else has seen it)
YUgi-oh season 0 is very entertaining ... i've seen it

i consider the second part of Sao ( the ALO asuna rescue arc ) as the only weak point of the franchise. For me , everything that happenned after is good or great.

I don't think its a matter of being good or bad. The List transcends such silly classifications.
That's pretty much the whole point. It's a list of shows that transcend ordinary discussions of objective quality. By all rights, Garzey's Wing is an absolutely awful production, but it's also some of the most fun you'll have watching anime. How does that even compute? It doesn't, so it goes on the list.

It should actually be scrubbed from the list given that I ran it by a few people, none of whom found it funny in the way that I did.

Mystical Laws definitely needs added in, and based on some independent "research" I've done, I'd also like to submit Kiss Dum: Engage Planet as a new candidate.

The Laws of Eternity, Rebirth of Buddha, The Golden Laws, The Laws of the Sun, Hermes: Wings of Love, and The Mystical Laws are all Happy Science titles and are recommended to be seen in that order.

Noted.

AD POLICE 1

So, I dunno what Bubblegum Crisis is and that reference is thus lost on me. Like I said before, someone who worked on this had a serious fetish for blowing the shit out of naked women, and I mean that with bullets. Like seriously, the part about shooting bullets into the woman as she plead for death was possibly the most overt and least well executed interplay of sex and violence I've ever seen. I appreciate that as an OVA this thing had 3 selling points: Boobs, blood, and boobs, but YEESH.

So okay, now that I've addressed that this thing is kind of creepily sexist/violent/fetishistic, I sort of dug the rest of it. A hardboiled cop story about getting the person who killed your buddy cop, dystopian sexdroids going haywire, really, it wasn't that bad once removed from the super fetish of murdering women. Which I suppose is what got it on the list?

What does this mean? It's racist?
 
Pokemon Origins 4 END

Well the true final battle was well animated, but damn if this wasn't an OVA....

Would've been more fleshed out at least. No Kleenexes n Red's team at least.

The List should be named after Code Geass because it by all accounts should be so very bad but despite all that its one of the most entertaining anime out there.
 
I'm surprised it's taking SAO this long to get a new season considering how much the anime kiddies absolutely adore the ever living shit out of it.

Forum poster 1:I've been trying to find an anime like SAO
Forum poster 2: GURL. LISTEN. AIN'T NOTHING LIKE SAO. TRUST ME. DAT SHIT MAGICAL.

Motto! Ojamajo Doremi 2

Backstory on Momo was kinda touching, but considering witch lifespans, Majo Monroe must have been fucking old. Or sick I guess. Wonder if they'll let the earring slide for now or if she'll take it off during classs.

Random question: Pop actually never stopped being a witch apprentice, right? Her crystal didn't shatter at the end of #, so she should still be one. Wonder if she's been continuing this whole time.

And hwere the fuck is Hana-chan? Seriously. She's in the OP; she has to be involved at some point, and it's going to be super emotional to have them reunited.
