Only 3 OVA episodes of Pretty Sammy.... I thought there was a fourth. Welp.

No time to do that(not enough episodes ) , also not enough information to do it from another point of view and probably not enough support from the author to provide more info to adapt that otherwise.
Not a bad way of seeing it , but if the book is a dialog between shinobu and araragi , it's really hard to animate anything else.
Considering that monogatari in anime often use that way to tell stories , i don't see a reason to get angry . ( i'm not saying you are ). by that point after so many episodes most fan picking to shaft adapting are probably used to it.

I must quibble with this, as I found the music in the first episode very effective at setting up an evocative atmosphere. The scene where Chitanda takes Oreki's club signup form with Bach's Air on the G String playing over top was the moment I fell in love with the show.
Well, I do.

An update to the list should totally be compiled after you finish your suicidal marathon.
I would argue this but it's best to let Corvo finish first.
Time for TV!

Corvo is watching BloodC ? hum i get the feelign i know EXACTLy what he will wrote for each episode.
For me fairy tail first arcs have a very bad pacing and a odd sense of adventure .
Most of it was told under Lucy POW and she didn't fit the role of a main character ( we all know natsu is the hero and that's why i got confused )
Once the author just let the crazy door open in term of scale , fights and tension fairy tail really shine and there was none of that untill the first BIG arc ( the tower )
The only anime I've ever really gotten angry at is Fractale, if you don't count the last two episodes of Evangelion. This doesn't compare.
They could have done animated vignettes of the scenes they showed in the scrolling PNG. It would have just cost a lot more money. They really pulled something fantastic out of their hats for the Hanekawa scene I mentioned, and I think they had an opportunity to do something similar here.
Oh well.

Well considering how they treated this season , i'm convinced that they are doing things on purpose.. and besides even if most of the stuff was pictures , they were beautifull pictures.
Well my keyboard is 11 years old so i can't help it sometimes

Just when this series throws me for a loop with an episode of complete insanity, it then throws me for another loop with an episode that was mysterious and surprisingly dark. This episode didn't exactly clarify mysteries (except some character stuff with Saionji and Touga), but it certainly added more to them! Especially that whole business in the arena.
Oooh

Soooo Touga was the prince? But he looks completely different. Maybe there's just a surplus of pink-haired girls with no parents. Either way he's quite the chessmaster. Also the shadow girls foreshadowed this series getting darker, I think, "Princes on white horses and true friends exist only in fantasy".
I had assumed that an alphabetical watching of the List was at once systematic and the easiest way of getting a good randomization out of it. I'm just kind of tired of seeing people crush skulls with their hands. I think Angel Cop was so hyperviolent it just kind of killed whatever hopes other superviolent shows on the List might have.
And are Happy Science films like Scientology things or something else?
I don't know because I haven't seen enough of the List to say, but since I started going through it alphabetically, I will say that Blood-C is only the 2nd thing on the List to look like its creators cared about what they were working on (the first being Bagi, which I will confess I sort of enjoyed a lot. Especially after stuff like AD Police.)
It'll be okay. By the end I won't even have tears left to whine.
Things like this tend to be flags that the show might actually be List Worthy to me.
I would not presume to question those who placed things on the List. I think, as something people compiled over time, and viewed as individual things rather than one after another, the entries undoubtedly qualify. Hito is right, really: these things only seem droll to me because I'm watching them one after another.
Hooo boy. This show'd better be a doozy. I been pretty bored with not-new anime lately.
I just looked up Saya singing in English for the first time. I don't know how to feel.

monogatari season 2: episode 18
I actually really enjoyed this episode because of the art used in it
they're obviously trying to keep kiss-shot scenes low until kizumonogatari is finally released though, would kill for this episode to be animated.

Seems fine.
You could tell she was laughing when she did the takes for this.

The Happy Science films are about the Happy Science New Religion, a sect in Japan. I'm reluctant to say cult because I hate the word (you know, Corvo) but yeah.
I saw the first Happy Science movie. It's long as heck. But to simplify things, their belief is like a mix between Buddhism and other religions, and there are lizard people, Atlantis, and space Jesus.
The light of El Cantare.
You'll find it on YouTube.
Those're weirdly goth-looking school uniforms. What's with the chain?

So the ingredients had taste? Couldn't they just eat fruits? Sure, it's not meat, but it's better than eating something tasteless. And now we discover
And, what's with these silly kids? Assuming Shiroe is the only person they know, why wouldn't they contact an old friend/teacher? But noooo... they just had to join a guild full of super shady characters.

npcs are somewhat alive and not mindless robots. No word yet if they can die or be attacked.
Watch the show, it's worth it.

WWSD: What Would Shiroe Do?
In this case Shiroe didn't call them so they made the correct decision lol
CLAMP
I can agree with that.
The easiest way to boil down the Happy Science ideology and mythos is that it's one part Scientology, one part Buddhism, one part American religious conservatism, and, in spite of your wariness for the term, one part personality cult. I expect that the religion will mostly collapse when Okawa Ryuho dies because it rose due to him being so good at selling himself.

Still images and exposition. It might have been ok if the story had been more interesting, but as it is, I'd rather have read a summary on Wikipedia in 30 seconds.

Yeah, think of it like how Scientology ropes in celebrities to get it to look appealing.
Happy Science religion was designed as a business by a businessman turned Messiah.
Thanks for the clarification madp
That's what I'm asking.
And got my answer, it seems.

Onward to After Story!!!
They're not even good at sounding bad at singing.
So, I watched a couple of the other skits just to see if this was representative of the VA quality, and why does everyone sound alternately too close and too far from the microphone? And Milla sure is, erm, husky.
It's very real, and that's exactly what the films are.
Frankly I think just straight animating it (where the art would definitely be far worse by orders of magnitude) would have been a far worse product than what we got. Also my understanding is that they were intentionally going for this type of narrative style which given Shinobu's character, the nature of what happened, and the fact that the entire thrust of the episode is "Shinobu is telling a story" makes perfect sense.
Maybe I just couldn't find the option, but it didn't seem like you could change the language setting in this game even if you wanted to.
kingdom looked better holy shit
All I can think of is the Happy Happy Cult from Earthbound.
Fate/Zero - 23 (rewatch)
Its make me teared up again ;__; Goddamit the track that they use for that moment..

What a great conclusion for Rider, he even made the proud Gilgamesh acknowledge him[, also conquering Waver's heart lol.. the best part of it, its fitting Waver's character arc.. Waver was fully eager to prove his worth, he even admitting he willing to die for that. The order from Rider gonna change that for good.

I know what they were doing, I just didn't think it really fit the medium as well as the alternatives.
Calling it "lazy" was probably a poor choice of words. Someone had to draw all of that and it was probably quite a bit of work. It just didn't really draw me into the episode.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure TV 10
Wow, this already is a million times better than Phantom Blood. Battle Tendency's scope is larger, and it promises to live up to the "adventure" part of the name much better. We've already been in three countries (assuming the hijacking is supposed to take place in Britain). The music, the sound effects, and especially Joseph are hype. Joseph spent the whole episode doing increasingly ridiculous things,
America sure was a rough place in the 1930s!

and then he just pulls out a machine gun from nowhere and lays into Straizo without warning! What the hell!

Poor, poor Notsuka, she just cannot win. She's obviously competing for Tenshinji's heart here, but between the alien and the "adult" well, she just isn't coming out on top. Mechanical hijinks is the best means of describing this show, as the heroes seem unconcerned with fighting their foe and are instead busy goofing off in their mechs half the time. Though less so than say, Coop.

I had no idea about anything in Battle Tendency going in. People kept hyping it as it went along though saying one hadn't seen anything yet. They were right.

Magical Girl Pretty Sammy TV 1
So now with a TV series, we can get more info.
Why Ramia? Why weren't you the queen? Because it doesn't represent the spirit of magical girls, DUH!
Meanwhile in this paralell Unifarce, Sasami's dad is creepy. I can't help it. He took like 3 seconds to smooch her. Too long bro.
"I... I want to be a pianist" WHAT'S THAT? You want to be a penis? Speak up! *she's sickly dude. cut her some slack*.
After that bad attempt, Sasami clearly thinks like a normal girl when she discovers magic, but she doesn't fucking want it because she looks dumb. And I guess the explaination really is brief. "You're Pretty Sammy, who gives a fuck". lol.
DAMN YOU MISA, DON'T WAIT TILL NEXT WEEK TO SAY YOUR NAME!
sidenote: Sasami seems to gain shitty friends. Soon she'll be Sashimi.

I'm not sure what your trying to say, but I think I agree.
Notes from a Sentai Filmworks panel at a smaller con in Vermont this weekend -- their March release slate will at least include the second half of Sakurasou, the third Mardock Scramble movie, and To Love-Ru Darkness.
