All you Panda-kun haters can keep calling Panda-kun conceited and other names, but you can't deny how much he cares for Handa-san. He was so mad dealing with his love-life lol. Panda-bro

They really missed out on a chance for "kick the bucket" puns.
Weird no S3 announcements, but this will do just fine in the meantime.
I can only really lecture/write good posts on music, theory, formal theory, and composition, but that's because I have two degrees and have taught classes in the field of those subjects before. I have a hard time articulating a good response on anything that isn't music, and for that I am at least thankful that I can do it in one field.
I just kinda say why I like stuff outside of that field, even if it isn't exactly what I mean all the time.

The action was a cluttered mess this episode. I wonder if that's because someone else was storyboarding in addition to Matsuo; the bulk of the action felt really different from how he normally handles it.

I knew Shoko's dad wasn't dead. I guess he's dead now though!
Yikes. Hope it's not something serious or life-threatening. It'll be sad to see him go in general, but from something like this would be terrible.

I like how Polar Bear was telling one of his stories that seems like a lie... and then it turns out that it wasn't. Grizzly is dtf Polar Bear man.
And we see the second half through the eyes of someone who just starts the show!

Samurai Flamenco 1
This was more enjoyable than I expected based on the show's general reception, and I don't think the less than stellar animation holds it back that much. The two central characters and their dialogue were pretty endearing and amusing, which is good because their interactions form the bulk of this episode and potentially the entire show. I see the Kick-Ass connection, but from what I remember that movie relied more on shock and bombast than Samurai Flamenco looks like it will. I appreciate the themes and idealism the show is dealing with; they're things that come up in daily life but are difficult to deal with for reasons the show makes clear. The music felt appropriate but was a little overbearing in the first apartment curry scene.
I don't really know where the show is headed, but I'm certainly willing to keep watching.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - 01
How did a show like this fall under my radar for so long? We've got space battles, an alien race set to drive humanity to extinction, and a human race willing to make tough decisions in order to turn the tide. Basically hitting all the right beats for me in terms of Science Fiction shows and something I've sorely lacked in this year's pickings. It's unfortunate to see how jarring the transition is between some of the fantastic 2D stills / overlays and the awkwardness of the animation that comes with its liberal use of CG for the spaceships, the way you see certain ships maneuver in space really takes you out of the action in a few parts, but with that and a few 0g inconsistency nitpicks (it aint no Planetes) I don't really have anything negative to say as of yet.

Episode 47 is going to kill you. Both, Hitokage and me, agree that that episode is a cajun killer.

That's a good way to put it, and I hope it stays that way. Big Daddy and Hit-Girl added a level of competence to Kick-Ass's vigilante actions that shifted the tone more than I would have liked.

Samurai Flamenco 2
It's still good, and less pitiful since Hazama achieves some minor justice in this episode, and perhaps even greater success if you consider his influence on Goto towards the end. I enjoyed the glimpse into Hazama's work life and the introduction of singer girl and potential closet superhero nerd. I thought it was interesting that they gave the Manager
some evidence for Flamenco's identity
I nearly didn't bother to check this show out, and I'm definitely glad I did now.

From the New World 24 -end (rewatch 1)
Fun and entertaining the second round even knowing the stuff, Squealers ending thing is still one of the most memorable moments.
Attack on Titan 1 (rewatch)
Eren was amazing in the younger days and best yuki kaji voice still. Hadnt realized before that the Titan essentially caused an Earthquake upon appearing, I dont remember others doing that.
Railgun S Episodes 2 - 3
80% of it was really boring and such, and why is there still no inkling of Toma, surely he is around somewhere. But otherwise, when its focused on the science and at least directly on Misaka Mikoto and the sisters stuff introduced it does remain interesting...and I must admit I laughed at Kuroko's harcore onee-sama antics
. Still the voice is hard to endure.

Beyond the Boundary 4
Kind of disappointing
Super Seiysun Brothers 6
Bell Liberty Gakuen?! Easily the series second best episode yet, the whole doujin manga thing was amazing all the way through and Chika at the end on the bed getting all excited.
Kind of disappointing
way too larger than life and I didnt like what they did to Akihito to make him lose control and harm Hiromi The basis of the fight and regenerating the barrier and even throwing the scarf was good though

HanaIro da movie
Cakes gotta cake, yo.
So anyone who remembers this show when it aired and was here probably remembers my meltdown over the Tokyo arc. Of course, at that time I had no idea who Okadabot was, so I had much loftier expectations for a show that, while "wacky", still felt grounded in reality and avoided feeling too "writerly" previous to the Tokyo arc.
Now I know better. Much, much better, but what can ya do. lol
This movie itself is weird, because it feels like it covers much of the same ground as the anime, but just in a fairly compressed form.
I didn't really feel that at all. I was actually pretty surprised that its focus was Satsuki. Now I knew it wasn't going to be post the TV series, but I didn't expect this focus. And from my memories of the show it was mostly all new material. Sure we knew that the mother daughter relationship was pretty antagonistic, but that's about it.
That said I was expecting a much more plot heavy story with it being a film and all.
Overall I was pretty happy. But then I really liked the series. So more of that makes me happy. Though I still would have preferred something that followed on from the TV show in some way. But then I guess given how it ended that's somewhat problematic. At least in terms of a film.

It's new "animated" material, but the actual story is a bit of a retreat, short of the one revelation that they make at the start of the film. I don't really mind, but even in terms of their relationships, the same "my mom's living her life so I should too" message that the show had is there. They just took the equivalent of 3 episodes to do what took like 10 episodes in the series to do.
It's the second best science fiction text of the year, next to Gravity!
I'm even willing to forgive all the animeisms that creep up later on
Double images are deep!
Sure. The message is the same as one of the messages of the show. But pretty much all of the flashback material felt new, though maybe I'm just forgetting lots of stuff about the show. Of course whether we really needed to know the fine details of Satsuki's back story is another matter.

Some shows tend to be more "cartoon" than "film", where a core part is the quality of the drawings/animation and how dynamic/striking the layouts are. The first Lupin III series (at least the first, it's the one I'm watching) and easygoing gag shows like Shin-chan are some examples.
It's not that they aren't films using film techniques, but they have a fundamental factor of animation and drawing unlike some other shows that might be well-directed but don't put it at center-stage.

So did The New Prince of Tennis do good in Japan, or not? Just wondering because it hasn't gotten a new season yet. I'm not sure whether it's because the manga may not be far enough (I don't read the manga so I don't know how far it is), or sales.
The last episode of the show was kind of a huge cliffhanger, so I've been looking for a new season to appear for a while.

A new OVA was announced last month. It will be a continuation from where it ended.

Don't be squidiculous. You're totally inkcited for another season of Ika musume.
Anyone can sea!
The fanservice dial is supposed to be at twelve. I guess they did mess up.
I love you doggie!
Its well worth seeing. You can doooo it.
AKB0048 was a masterpiece. It simply must be seen by everyone.
I honestly dont wanna watch that video but Im looking forward to this movie more than almost anything else.
Congrats! Now continue watching one of the most heartwarming animes ever made!
Yup. Heeeeeere we gooooooo!
Hope youre ready for this ride.

There has to be another name for this show. Episode begins with the conclusion of episode 2 and then we get the next quest. The quest conclusion was out there.

Awesome! I really enjoyed watching The New Prince of Tennis, so this is good news for me.
This OVA is still one of the greatest things in all of anime. Youll love how they wrap it up in the end too. but in the meantime STUDY STUDY STUDY!
Also they created some very nice character designs in this show. Very nice indeed.
(and in case youre wondering, the boss lady in ep 1 was driving a Koenig Competition Evolution.)
Oh man....Are you sure youre prepared for this? dont watch too much at once. Im just warning you early. This show will tear your heart out and shit on it.
Chise is really really cute though.
Also watch the OVA if you can find it!
On the other hand this show will make your heart grow 3-5 times and you will find yourself bouncing and such. Happened to me, true story.
AniChart refers to the show as Noucome, so that might work for you.
I love your musical compositions AWESOMEBEAR.
Have you made any others recently? Theres a lot of visual artists, but I dont know nearly enough musical artists. Super megasquee ultra respect to you!
This is a very interesting technique that isnt used enough in anime. At leasT I havent noticed it much. Maybe its more prevalent than I thought? Guess Ill keep an eye out for it being used in the future.
yay Golden Time tonight
Kokooooo
The feels are coming soon. I just know it.
Ahh this show is gonna make me squee so much!
ME TOO! IM SO HAPPYYYYYYYYY
SHE IS SO CUTE.

HXH 100 - 101
Is it me, or HxH is the unsung work, one of the finest anime of the last two years? Great adaptation of a great manga, very solid execution and production values maintained by 100+ episodes.
But there is barely any comments of it in this thread (I know it has a separate thread on OT, but still...).
The last two episodes had several action scenes, some nice animation, tense moments, politics, several characters plotlines interwoven, intriguing new powers, new characters, and some light hearted scenes. All expertly paced.
