Then you know full well that Keita is the real problem with the show. Like honestly, Betterman has some pretty scary moments, but they're ruined by the fact that Keita overreacts to the point of cartoon comedy to EVERYTHING.
He's like if I was an anime character, except with a fetish for having women sit on his face and also women go within ten hundred yards of him willingly.
Yeah he fuckin' sucks. All about dat lamia
Lamia is okay, but Keita just really is the main reason I did not enjoy the show in the end.
Black Lion
It really, really sucked.

Magical Girl Pretty Sammy OVA 3
Today I learn what Croquettish meant. There was also some Sexual Pixy Fire. I really think they understood the knick knacks behind Magical Girls. I should've realized sooner!
There was also a scene in here that clearly inspired Sonic 2006, except she doesn't realize it at least. One day, she'll understand what the D really means.
Well, at least there was no dumb friendship speeches in this.

It's gonna be fun to see an integer and deeply honest man such as Kircheis interact with the rather morally questionable environment of Space Vegas. Seeing him lower his head and walk fervently pacing forward when propositioned by women at bars was hilarious.

Man people love to slap Anthy. It's just like, "Oh Anthy did something I mildly disapprove of? TIME FOR SLAPPING."
Anyway, this was a goodly episode. Jury's one of the more interesting characters to be introduced so far, and it was cool seeing a more drawn out fight at the end.
Random guessing time:
I don't think I'll ever understand Miki and Touga's relationship.

You should!
IMAX tax. And I think Ontario doesn't really have PG-13. We have "14A" and "18A". lol
I assume it's PG-13 in the US though, since she only says "fuck" once in the movie.
And also, best movie is best. I thought I'd be bored after all these times, but it was still so engrossing to watch.

Superb , magnificent..

Impressive
The choice of music was also incredible , especially the final scene...
It's a shame that you guys are missing "that book" animated , but i believe it would have an impact ( this episode ) regardless.

Nice to finally see her wearing the costume aside from the Opening.
Liking Elsa more now that she's revealed that other side of hers.
And this is like the first time I've disliked Fino after she poisoned the old man.
That is unforgivable.

Little Busters! Refrain Episode 5
Solid ending scene before the credits though memorable location and even brief flashback.
Was thinking something sad was going to happen to Rin going away but for it to completely switch to focusing on Riki and Kyousuke to find the revelation, I wonder whats next. Is Kyousuke still around or did he just vanish away now now that he was found out by Riki. Though more importantly what is the secret still. If it truly isnt just a ploy to make Rin more independent, then Im at a loss for what else is going on.

Even though I had a some people here recommend me Hunter x Hunter, I started Fairy Tail for some odd reason last night...then after 4 minutes decided I was crazy, closed out and fired up the new Hunter x Hunter.
Hunter x Hunter 1-3
So here we go. Hunter x Hunter. Random thoughts. Great pacing right off the bat. I was afraid episode 1 would be nothing but Gon fishing for the Lord of the Lake (or whatever his name was), then BAM. He catches it within 2 minutes. Love it. I'm not sure how I feel about Gon already being able to jump up trees and kick slight ass. I'm curious if they'll ever explain, even if with a quick little mention that "Oh yeah, he used to train quite a bit back in the day". But even that would be pushing it a bit, since he is young and doesn't have much of a "back in the day" age-wise. This is just nit picky stuff and it's way too early to make any real judgements. I will say this though...I really loved the old hag quiz segment when asked who they would rescue in a life or death scenario...the son or daughter. It was great triple bluff. First Leorio thought there was a real answer between son or daughter. Then Kurapika recognized that silence was the only answer. Then they took it a step further when Gon made mention after the passage was open that he can't think of an answer....because there might come a time in his life when a tough decision like that does have to be made. And you realize in essence that Gon was the only one who truly understood the purpose of the question. If the show holds onto that idea I'll be very happy. I want some tough decisions and real moments in this later. This is coming from a fan of Bleach who has grown tired of action shows where people never die...even though they're constantly fighting.
And also: wow. There are a ton of similarities I can see between Naruto and Hunter x Hunter. Was the writer of Naruto a fan?

I've lost count how many times you've seen this. Still soaking up that IMAX experience before it's relegated to peasant home video release status I take it? I see a new movie every week, and I'm still stunned at how many times you've seen Gravity.

And I'm as surprised as you are. I haven't watched a film this many times in theaters in my life, outside of the four or five times i watched Saving Private Ryan because of the D-Day sequence (of course, now I wish I could slap my younger self and watch Thin Red Line five times in theaters instead). Hell, I don't even really go to the movies that much nowadays anyway. But yeah, once it's gone from theaters, it's gone... so I feel kind of obligated to watch it as many times as I can before it simply becomes a fading memory.

Okay this show is just screwing with me now.
Yeah, I love how theatrical English Okabe's voice is. Of course, the I am mad scientist bit loses out, but that's inevitable.

I made a separate "Secret Best Show Of The Season Candidate" tier just for this show back when I wrote up my pre-season watchlist. I feel like this decision has been entirely justified.

Did you see The Tree of Life in theaters multiple times or did it not play near you during its run? It sounds like you would have. I honestly don't see that many movies multiple times, but I can see why someone would. 9 times though? Yeah, nah.

Clannad - Series Review
Last night I decided to marathon through the rest of the series starting from episode 17. Overall this was an enjoyable romance anime and surprisingly not a typical harem anime that I expected originally. However, like I was told, it wasn't particularly sad but hopefully, since I am now exposed to the characters and their motivations, I'll be able to connect with After Story, we'll see.
Comedy was well-paced with the drama in the show; Nagisa's family just being plain hilarious in addition with Sunohara who surprisingly possessed his own character instead of being comic relief that he was originally introduced as.
Music was enjoyable with the OP being nice to listen to. Ambient soundtracks fit well in both the comedic and dramatic aspects though there was some jarring pieces:
Drama was great and with Tomoya's character it was easier to relate instead of a teen angst main protagonist or a bland main protagonist.
I also watched the OVA which was just one episode featuring a romance with
So in conclusion the anime was great. In comparing it to other animes I've watched I'd have to say it is so far better than Angel Beats! for how the show was executed. With its 23-episode framework I was more invested into the characters, however I still believe Angel Beats! had the better potential of plot and superior music.

Banri-ghost to be pretty jarring. The same messages/theme of the episode could've been portrayed without the ghost telling us "You had relationship with Linda in the past!"

Fairy tail has a very horrible start in anime.. doesn't get intresting untill the author pick up his pace .. anime follow the same path so it's feel boring ( at start ) get better after .
Should be quite a huge list.
Well sinobu was the narrator and probably didn't want to disclose more information than necessary.

I wonder why Key decided to make Kudryavka's romance in Little Busters into a full visual novel
Kurugaya is way more attractive and not 9 years old
Kurugaya is way more attractive and not 9 years old
Her backstory is interesting, but actually seeing events unfold instead of having a scrolling PNG would have been so much better.
This seemed like them being slaves to the novels (which I can't read since that section isn't translated). Instead of adapting it for a visual medium, they just did it verbatim with Shinobu talking to an image scroll.
I could see fans being angry either way, I guess. I fully realize that they usually are pretty slavish, but this was another level for me.
Blood C 1
Alright! A series I can actually care about enough to CARE when it goes Listworthy insane! And it is by CLAMP! Thank you, based CLAMP, for breaking up the monotony that was the List.
Girl is stupid incompetent in her day to day life but can kick Old Stone Scyther's ass, huh? I'm okay with this.

Patlabor TV 34-35
This was fantastic stuff. I really liked how the battle was paced and structured; having many parties involved - the Patlabor team, the Griffin team, Shaft Security, the media - all working towards their different and contradictory goals made for a varied and compelling clash. The central clash between Noa and Bud was particularly well thought out, moving from the opening standoff to a slugfest as they wear each other down. There was some great action animation, and the shading on the Griffin continues to be ominous; it hasn't stopped being an imposing mecha after coming out into the open. Perhaps the best episodes of the show so far, and great payoff for this ongoing plot thread.

Angel Beats probably would be as good as Clannad if not better if it got an entire two seasons that Clannad did.
Excited for the Angel Beats VN.
Look, at this point I must remind you that it was YOU who insisted on going through it alphabetically despite advice to the contrary, and it was YOU who ignored suggestions on what to focus on.
Watch Arjuna, Yami, or a Happy Science film already if you're burned out on ultra-violence.
Well, thats true mostly.
Doing 4kids work for them then!
Oh dear god yes nyaa~ NYAAAAAAAA~~~~~
Sounds dreadful. Better not welch on it.
Episode 5 goes to another plane of amazing. A whole different level of omgsquee

Unlike most of "The List", Blood-C is a legitimately well-made show. Try to watch the censored TV version if you can, as I feel that's better than the uncensored.

A pretty good summary of the first season. But it's the After Story where things really start to pick up. You're in for a treat.
Seriously? I thought Fairy Tail at the beginning was funny and entertaining. Sure, things didn't start happening until the Galuna Island arc, but I was too busy laughing at the character's antics to notice.
