Gintama could easily be my favorite shonen/comedy of all times in anime.
And also don't blame Shinpachi. It's hard being just a pair of glasses who must always be worn by that nerd.
He has a cool beanie, swag and confidence. Obviously he's too cool to be a shonen/harem protagonist. If he's not cocky and/or dense as fuck while also a bumbling idiot so male readers can relate, then what's the point?
Destroyed detail is never good.
Curse you color correction.
It's not like Fate/Zero has some kind of special sauce in the video encoding that negates all the problems with motion interpolation.
but motion interpolation never looks good

Yes. I know.

At the start of the year I happened to notice some members here had publicly posted what their birthdays were. Since it was the start of a new year and even though I don't personally know anyone here, I thought it could still be a nice gesture to give just a quick "Happy Birthday" to those whom I was aware of.
I wasn't really doing it looking for any kind of recompense or anything back my way, so my birthday actually came and went a little while ago and I just didn't mention it. There's enough others here who never mentioned when their birthday's are so it's no big deal.
You guys honestly didn't really have to do anything. Even though it's not really my birthday today I still thank you for all the birthday messages that were made and all the cute pictures that were posted.
your friend should be ashamed at using motion interpolation.

BlazBlue: Alter Memory Episode 3 The Observing Eye
Finally, waited so long for it and endured so many bad looking scenes just to reach this point. Best episode yet even if it did have many and numerous animation mistakes, random paper jumped, awkward jumping, awkward Hazama faces, weird looking debris, and unexplained attacks...Jin looked amazing too, and Tao gave lots of laughs.

Momoko phrase of the week: "The world is love and peace, yo" She really loves repeating things even if it makes her look like a weirdo
Today is a reflection of how the overworked society may lead to strikes, and show that something reasonable can also have unreasonable demands, but go to far on your wants and needs, and well...
Yeah. Also singing from Momoko.

Ah yes I remember this show.
Youve got my attention!
Indeed it was Ura. Indeed it was.
Haha, okay, I have to give props to this answer. Probably a couple of my favorite swords as well. <3
Fate/Zero does have some nice little details in its writing. I don't know if you remember but, from the first episode I believe it was, there's actually a reference to episode 19. I think Kirei was talking to someone about Kiritsugu and he mentions
about him being a pretty ruthless killer in that he blew up an entire airliner just to destroy his target.
I thought her "armor" looked dumb as well but that Bertille girl's seiyuu is actually the same person doing the voice for Satsuki in Kill La Kill. It's funny you should mention that then as I found it a little amusing thinking of that connection myself.
Man this season is great for waifus
<3
Yeah, if I represent Irisu in Hyouka then I'd say I represent Mitsuki in Kyoukai no Kanata / Beyond the Boundary.
I'm not sure where that date came from but I looked up to see when Minako's birthday was from this. It would have been a funny coincidence,haha.
It was so-so. Both today and my actual birthday. I thank you for your messages though.
That's okay. I noticed you haven't been posting in the thread much lately either so I figured you were just perusing other interests at the moment or were busy with more personal matters.
My Birthday wishes are nonrefundable Nafe, you're gonna keep it and you're like it
Haha, that's completely fine. I accept them as I never mentioned when my birthday actually was.

Alright time to discuss this episode for reals (made sure it was the right anime this time).
So this episode was alright, the OP was enjoyable and character introductions were paced and felt natural. The main protagonist, Tomoya, seems a bit bland at the moment but hopefully that will change. However, aside from the small comedic moments nothing really stood out in this episode to praise.
Criticisms I have so far is that the character designs are bland and the ending of the episode.
Hopefully that cringeworthy end will be explained next episode.

Tomoya wakes his father up then runs away? Sure the father is an alcoholic but his response in waking wasn't him yelling or anything. Then there's Nagisa standing in the spotlight for some odd reason and somehow knew Tomoya would run away?
Hopefully that cringeworthy end will be explained next episode.

Tokyo Ravens Episode 3 SHAMAN CLAN -Calling the Dead-
So much good action all around and Bakutora was amazing. May be a familiar but he has good devotion and ideas for fights. Looking forward to more large scale whole environment type fighting with larger than life creatures as go on in Tokyo, urban setting even better than rural countryside even. Curious what Touji could do too even. Definitely in my top five of the season.

Episode one of the tv series airing now. You can check out the five net releases from last year after that.
You could watch everything in production order, there's barely more than one hour of material besides the TV show.
Otherwise, the TV show will be covering roughly the same stuff and some more, so you can also start there from episode 1 and go along.
You should definitely watch the original ONA/episode 00 though. People don't seem to like it very much here but I'll still recommend it for its refreshing madcap craziness and slick, stylish visuals.
He posted this cute picture of Laura though.
Maybe I am and all the source material just has my birthday wrong!

Honestly? Start with episode 1 from the TV series that just came out. There's 2-3 episodes out right now. I haven't been majorly confused and they're apparently reusing footage from the ONA so no need to watch that.
Record of Lodoss War HD 1
Beautiful. This is the way Lodoss was always meant to be seen. It's crazy to think that the artists put all this detail into the series without ever knowing if it would be seen by the audience; as it is, we're only truly seeing it 23 years later.
For those young whippersnappers here who don't know, Record of Lodoss War is basically a series of novelizations of a certain group's Dungeons and Dragons sessions. The 1990 OVA was pretty popular, and it remains the best depiction of D&D in visual media(for what little that is worth).
The animation is certainly lacking at times, in fact, it could probably be more accurately described as a motion comic much of the time, and it makes liberal use of reused footage. It makes up for that to some degree by having exceptionally detailed character designs and layouts, but it's only now that it's being released on bluray that it will be possible to fully appreciate that craftsmanship. The first episode, of course, is not representative in that it's very well-animated in addition to being insanely detailed.
It's certainly not a perfect series, but it's an enjoyable high fantasy adventure with a good score and strong art direction. The archetypal nature of the story is straightforward, but it's executed well.

After leaving this on the back burner for a while, the Kayako storyline continues
Rinno is still a condescending cockwad, Doremi is so desperate that she made.... steak shaped cookies. A lot of self loathing as well. It's like..
NEXT TIME, Pop vs Tamaki Erika

. considering what we got for the mid-season climax, why does this story line feel more like build up to what the end of the season will be like. Probably because of how Onpu was handled back in S1, but she was a lot more prominent in it.

PLAY SEASON! MUMPS SEASON! PLAY SEASON! MUMP SEASON! PLAY SEASON! MUMP SEASON!
Everyone getting mumps at the worst time possible. At least one of them was for the better. On a side note, does Doremi still "not like" Reika? I'm getting confused with the messages.
Fun fact: Erika is an anagram for Reika. No wonder they're related! *ojou-sama laugh*
Well, lets see what 40 is all about.
EDIT: Preview seems... interesting...

Amazing series. I'm sad there is no more of this... I've taken a look at the manga but it just isn't the same. Just one of those anime you wish could go on forever.

I love this god damn adaptation. It's perfect. I could only dream of something similar for stuff like One Piece & Toriko.

Poor Mr. Handa keeps getting cock blocked by the animals. I feel sorry for him but it's so sweet that he has a crush.

Start with 00 and then you can go straight to 01 if you like. At least that's what I did and even though 00 was batshit insane, 01 explained most of it.

There's episode 0 if you didn't catch that. Much more subdued though.

White Album 2 Episode 03
Well after three episodes, this has surprisingly turned out to be a show that I actually look forward to each week. I'm sure there will be some inevitable melodrama waiting to rear its ugly head later in the show but so far this has been a surprisingly enjoyable high-school romance story. Even the whole thing with Ogiso's father towards the end of the episode played out pretty competently and made the end result of
feel very satisfying by the end. The dialogue feels very natural and the interactions between each character never really feels forced. The main character does come off a bit preachy at times but it's nice to see him get called out on it in the show.
The art and even the story itself does seem a bit on the generic side but something about the writing and overall direction feels very confident in what it's doing that I can't help but find it very endearing.
Surprise of the season for me so far.

So uh... that... wasn't what I expected for the most part. Actually......
There were also implications that Doremi is a bad girl according to Onpu, and Doremi wonders what she means by that. Yes, I'm looking into this more than I should be. Who knows, Onpu was adorbs in this
So uh... that... wasn't what I expected for the most part. Actually......
It seems to be closer to the norm of how episodes go when dealing with Hana's pickiness. Hell, it made the recent DokiDoki Precure episode seem really derivative. And that's a good way to sum up that series, but back on topic.
I loved the fantasies by Aiko (Hey, you have Nobuko, don't take Onpu's target), and how Onpu plays up on why she doesn't eat sweet potatoes. Only to cave in 20 seconds later. Oh man, it's like a sense of "what are they on" in the first half of the show. Second half gives us some glimpses in Aiko's past at the sweet potato farm (because they went to the sweet potato farm to get fresh stuff and to see Hana pull out some sweet potatoes).
I think the damning thing about those flashbacks... is that Aiko's family was together, in a moment of happiness, but looking at the Secret of the Frog Stone, and the series in general, that her family life is the most broken up of everyones by far. Why does it feel like that one episode where Doremi actually having someone to go out with (her luckiest day that she only gets once), except it's on a more touchy subject?
In any case, to sum it up, the first half was pretty damn funny, and Onpu was really adorable. Second half was Aiko's love for Hana going to her, while she remembers back when she actually had a happy family life.

IT LOOKS NEW. How is an anime that is almost as old as I am made to look so new? This is magic.
Because it is CG? When doesn't that shit look like it came out of a digital rectum?
I did not know this. It must've sucked to play as Deedlit. Playing as Parn, on the other hand, probably rocked.
