Tell me more.

Im interested to know what documentary this is referring to.

There was a thread in the last few days asking the question about why Japan's population was dropping. This was a BBC documentary asking the same question with the title "No Sex Please, We're Japanese".

I didn't watch it so I have no idea if it turned out any better than the thread.

 

[Silky]

To echo what I said in the OT; I owuld love to see these types of episodes as OVAs or extended shorts after the first season is over. Absolutely loved this episode.

Now for Samurai Flamingo or whatever

According to my housemates it talked about the percentage of Japanese people that have sex out of wedlock being insanely low and about Japanese men having 15yr old video game girlfriends instead of real ones. Everything I heard personally was about the ageing population being a financial burden on the government. Seems like a mixed bag overall.

Kill la Kill 04

This show is totally channeling Inferno Cop's brand of complete insanity. Loved every minute of it.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Tell me more.

No but it was on in the house and I could hear a lot of it from where I'm sitting. Apparently Japan has serious issues with the crime rate in the pensioner population, among other things.

Oki thanks.

No Sex please, were Japanese.

You can see were this is going -____-

I was surprised it was a BBC documentary. Something I would expect to see on channel 4.

It blamed Yuyushiki and the terrible Ikki-tousen dub for the decline in Japanese birth rate. And Love Plus, but that much was obvious.

Or at least that's what I gather from Twitter.

Kill la Kill 4

Yeah yeah, ADHD the cartoon, who cares.

ValvKILL the ULTRAKILLER 15

Now this is awesome! They really got it going this time! L-Elf gets shit done, bodyjacking makes its triumphant return and

Spoiler

shooting these vampires in the brain doesn't do shit.

Valvrave is seriously awesome.

 

[Crash Station]

Kill la Kill 4

Incredible, even the less meaningful episodes are amazing. The soundtrack beyond Don't Lose Your Way is also starting to grow on me.

I really had no idea how they were going to follow last week's episode, but they accomplished by going down a different route. Inferno Copping it up worked so well!

At this point, the show is pretty much a lock for AOTY for me. I can't imagine Imaishi failing me after 4 straight episodes of awesome, and the pv of 5 makes me thing that trend will continue.

The complete, dialed up to 11 insanity is why I love this show so much! Can't wait to get around to watching it tonight .

first noitaminA garbage

WOWOWOW. Both of them sucked this week, so much that they went directly to absolutely sure dropped list.

first Galilei Donna, damn damn. This was just all over the place, scene after scene, it's just random, uninteresting. Couldn't be anymore bland. I don't think it looks that ugly or if the looks is any of its main problems, I don't mind that. The show is just a mess that is there, no coherency whatsoever, like first time someone directing something bad... The whole idea sounded neat on paper at first but now the results couldn't be any farther than what I had in my head, everything feels hollow. Insert salts of my disappointment here.

GD music sure is ok though. that's the only good thing I have to say right now.

Samurai Flamenco

well, maybe this is not complete garbage..yet. I was open to the idea of everyday adult life man children but not sure if I want to watch 22! episodes of this hideous thing with uninteresting characters, still don't care about anybody, it's safe to assume it won't be getting any better for me, if characters don't work in something like this show, it's pointless to continue.


Kill la Kill - 4

Well, it's still very entertaining and full of energy, that's what I really want from it anyway. Ok episode.


Valvrave - 15

The first 2 episodes of this 'season' were quite normal things and that's a bad thing for Valvrave after how good most of first part was. I was losing interest until now this week it saved VVV.


revised weekly watch list
GBF
Kill la Kill
Valvrave
Coppelion


^in that order

everything else can go die in a fire /angst.

Oh that thing. I don't think anyone intelligent would blame anime as a cause for that.

Valvrave the Liberator -15

Still cool. L-elf is a level 99 Ledo.

 

[BGBW]

Yo did anyone watch that BBC documentary tonight. People are going to judge anime watchers even more now lol

Yo yo yo gis us a name yo so I can watch it on da iPlayer yo.

 

[Caesnd]

KLK 4

Although just as over the top the direction clearly is very different in this episode, and I get what they were going for. It's just that it didn't come across as all that funny to me. I guess I'm dead inside after all

Valvrave 15

The future scenes seems so surreal in contrast to what's going on, even with the given 200 time span in between. I also feel that this show has too many characters that are (at least so far) completely unnecessary. Cain's goons, Kyuma, Raizo, Akira, Satomi etc. They don't really add anything at all and by extension just end up taking away precious time from the rest of the cast that actually matters. Still ways to go though, so we'll see I guess.

Haha. I gotta see this docu.

I think you can watch it here?

Edit: Surpassed my expectations, not even one minute in!

 

[kewlmyc]

I finally ordered my Madoka Movie 3 tickets from Chicago, I'm so happy.

 

[santeesioux]

Not too shabby actually. framerate for fights are at 30FPS, but it doesn't have a negative effect.

Also you might not care, but the 3D is pretty awful for the game.

All right, cool, only used the 3D for about a minute so far, and don't see myself using it much more than that.

 

[cajunator]

Nope its blocked here. but thanks for the link!

 

[santeesioux]

Watch Golden Time at least! Dont neglect Koko!

Already did, don't worry! Only got one of the games in the mail anyway.

If only it wasn't UK exclusive.

I still need to buy mine for the Austin date. Wish I could go to the Sunday one but I have finals that week.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Watching Usagi Drop again it really is such a shame the second half of the anime took such a turn.


One of the few times the anime did well in ending early.

 

[Caesnd]

Nope its blocked here. but thanks for the link!

If only it wasn't UK exclusive.

It's not, but most likely restricted to Europe. Don't worry though - even if I'm sure there will soon be other ways for you to watch it - you're really not missing out on anything.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I dropped it after the first 15mins because of the terrible decision choices. I just felt that it was a really good premise with the show for comedy, but a terrible execution.

I usually give a show 3-4 episodes before I drop it to be fair, but this I just couldn't make it through. Nothing makes me drop a show faster then a missed opportunity.

I liked the OP animation. That was good.

Yeah, it seems the other "choice" he could choose would be far funnier

Spoiler

Even if he'd stay as a girl forever xD

You have an awesome Clerks the Animated series avatar, so your word is good for me.

Best of the ranked chefs, finally the arc is getting started, looking forward to cooking instead of fighting for once.

Thats just dopey. And its not like they are alone in the first world in this, just that other countries make up for it with large numbers of immigrants.

Pokemon XY 3

Can't believe I got excited over Ash catching a Fletchling.

I'm going to have to blame that on Froakie being awesome and the music that was playing during the entire battle.

Bonnie is way too adorable. Her and that Dedenne are like the perfect match.

You know... I don't even know how this show delivers weekly. I want to know what drugs these guys are taking to create sheer stupid brilliance. *claps*

This show is so stupid. I LOVE IT. Can't wait till next week.

Spoiler

So Marie is a vampire too? Or some sort of robot since she knows Pino? God, I"m confused.

Motto! Ojamajo Doremi 33

Lol at the ninja traps in the dojo. And at Masaru during his match. And the Onpu-chan fan. And much to the chagrin of shippers everywhere (for whom I don't give much fucks at all), a kiss on the cheek from Momoko for Okajima at the end.

Waiting a week for new episodes is torture.

Totally knew Linda was someone important. It hasn't addressed the whole calling her the wrong name thing yet though. Hmmm.

Tada is fast.

Also best ED.

 

[CorvoSol]

akio in my pw game!?

All I can think about now is Phoenix riding open-shirted in a car, jumping on the hood, with Edgeworth or Apollo in the passenger seat.

And like, a soulless Maya sitting in the back with Gumshoe, who is witnessing all of this because he's suffering from a concussion.

I want to see this now. Where is Peaceiscloser when I need him?

KILL la KILL 4

I love this fucking show. Even the simplest task in school life is jacked up to beyond galactic proportions. I have a grin permanently stitched on my face.

Samurai Flamenco 3

I'm dropping the show. It's not really appealing to me, the animation nosedived today, and it wasn't what I was expecting anyway. I'm not a big fan of Boys Love shows anyway, so I'll just save myself the time. I don't think it's a bad show, but it definitely doesn't have any real appeal to me at all.

Dat megaton at the end. I'm definitely in love with this show.

Didn't liking it is one thing, but calling it BL? Man you're not in animesuki.

Show of the century. Dat face.

I thought it was a Boy's Love show? It certainly sounds like one from DTL's posts.

Kill La Kill 4

Well this was kinda dumb. Once again, thank goodness for Mako.

I'll probably have to rewatch this in a better mood later though to see if my opinion remains the same as I do appreciate a lot of the visual humor.

Every show sounds like that in a DTL post.

Coppelion Episode 4 Sunset

Well it was nice, but I guess having seen the gif of the big moment beforehand and the trailer of sorts for the anime using the whole jeep and plane scene, that excitement was lost. It was a nice but I just couldnt get attached to it or even feel that excited over it and then after it was over the remaining 15 minutes felt extremely boring and tiresome. Could have done more with the plot

Spoiler

and the waste in the water of sorts even

I could do that or I could just chuck a Pokéball like I do with all the other Pokémon.

Valvrave S2 3

Spoiler

That little kid is totally L-Elf's kid. Calling it now. Also, how is Akira's brother immortal in the future too? Do they actually destroy someone and he takes over a VVV? What I bet happens is that someone is body jacked and dies in that body.

okay now that is an OH SHIT moment. WTF
