I kind of liked Gedo. But Woli was obnoxious, and that fight went on for way too long and was completely implausible in pretty much every way.

Lol , so it's the typical teenage boy finding his way into a mecha anime ?
By sunrise ? at least it'll have pretty mechs and animation.I'll have to check this.

Yamato 2199 blurays announced for the western market

Because it's airing on Toonami.
Can't believe they'd undersell it like that!
nice avy change
Thanks. might finally pick up Howls at that price.
I'm still of the opinion that besides the animation and soundtrack the show is pretty trashy. Glad you liked the soundtrack though. It's pretty hype.
What? It has the same character designer. Jarmel, why do you always have to be wrong?!
Some nice Funi deals
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p...mation&ie=UTF8&qid=1385911127&rnid=2740857011
Fujiko, Black Lagoon, Michiko&Hatchin, Steins;Gate are probably good deals, at least the ones I'll be jumping on most likely. Double check with camelcamelcamel if unsure.

This guy is like the ultimate asshole. Holy shit. I'll give him points for being slick about it though.
Oops. Should have checked more of the ANN links on the staff page.

Also what is up with Japan and incest? There has to be some sort of serious cultural element somewhere.

Ikuhara just has a thing for incest.
It's not just him, like the TV tropes page for brother-sister incest has a list that is insanely long for anime alone.
I bought the part 2 to Michiko & Hatchin and Tenchi Muyo: War on Geminar. I was missing both.

I thought it'd be somewhat clever because Noel = Christmas bla bla bla. I may just have to switch to something else because there isn't a lot of art to work with!
So we have an original Kawamori mecha and an original Sunrise mecha next season. Fantastic.
Maybe it does have to partially do with it being a niche medium as the videogame part of the incest trope page also has a heavy slant towards the Japanese as well.
Monogatari ep 22
Nishio should really start writing more villian POVs because the Sengoku Nadeko arc is great and this arc is bloody excellent with Kaiki as the protagainst. It's amazing how Nishio can 180 transform somebody detestable into one swag motherfucker and even questioning Araragi's pedo tendencies.

There can be only one AnimeGaf newsman.
You know, I've been flicking through the US Girls und Panzer BD - has anyone said if even the terrible arrangement of That Song From Tetris used to replace Katyusha was forced on them from the Japanese side?
As it stands, it looks like the scene in question has been almost completely recomposited from the original materials - aside from the obvious removal of lip-flaps, they've changed the timing and speed of a camera pan (even over the Japanese BDs) without any discrepancy in the overlayed snow effects between the two versions. It's clearly been done by the animation studio.
Saying that, the music change alters the effect and impression of the scene so drastically that I honestly think the Crunchy version, with it removed entirely, worked better. If that music came from Japan, it's not only disappointing given the shows otherwise superb use of music, but also displays a hilarious misunderstanding of the tone of the sequence from someone in the proximity of the original staff. Or someone just doesn't give a damn about the foreign audience.
(PS - The BD is Region A+B encoded, should any of the British fellows feel like importing it. Placing it on a B player boots the BD to Hanabee (the Aus licensor) iconography rather than Sentai, so I'd presume the UK release will end up being DVD-only if a co-pressing deal with Aus over the BDs is off the table)

It was for the greater good. ( can't say more because .... no i won't spoiler , this arc is too good to be spoilered.)
Isn't NISIO such a great trolling writter ?

At least this is better than stopping yourself from posting an information that might be helpfull to some people because someone might have posted it already. What should matter is that we discuss the info not who is posting said info here.

Looks fun!
Hopefully the show can maintain the same level of polish over the longer timespan.

The episode itself revolves around Nobu's later work involving a male version of herself and his romantic relationship with Aiko in high-school which I understand simply serves as a not very subtle romantic confession to Aiko though Aiko seems to have missed that point entirely. I mean come on.
The rest of the episode is a pretty fun dramatic story of NTR, and misc antics and is pretty fun.
This was an interesting episode to say the least. For one it made me notice that Nobu's male detective in her stories is actually a self-insert for her.

Yozakura "Please watch the OADs" Quartet - Episode 9
Great episode. I really liked the way they arranged the episode, and the animation was pretty great throughout. Nice direction, cute scenes, solid action. The only "flaw" in the show is how amazingly creative the animators are at sneaking in dodgy fanservice into pretty much any scene when they put their mind to it. It's really impressive how dedicated they are to their perversion. Not even Kohime is spared. >_<
It's going to be pretty hilarious to watch this episode for anyone who hasn't watched the OADs yet. The opening this week is replaced by a special one using the OP song from the OADs, and the entire sequence is a 90 second summary of the 3 OAD episodes using all the best animated parts. Really cool for those who have seen it, probably totally confusing for anyone who hasn't. The episode itself also serves as a really nice extended epilogue bridging the story and the new character from the OADs into the next stage of the TV series.
Japanese maps are the WORST. Confirmed!

OUGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII *shakes fist at sky*
I have to say I was pretty surprised to see that kid actually make an appearance, snakes and all. That plot thread has been left hanging ever since Bake, and I honestly thought Nisio was never going to address it.

i've stopped paying attention to the names .. valvrave was really the last time i've said WTF.
I'm pretty sure it sound awesome in japanese. ( and in all other languages except english )

It's my guilty pleasure to follow writters , authors that have a proper vision on where they are going , and are putting all the right steps even if it takes time. Nisio never disapoints.God bless hanghing threads & forshadowing.

The Steam Sale totally did not distract me from my anime. No not at all. In fact I watched a wonderful anime thanks to the Steam sale.
To the Moon
I have not felt so touched in a long time. This has got to be one of the most heartwarming love stories I've ever seen.
So basically two scientists have to hijack an old man's memories before he bites the dust due to old age. They have to make him believe that he went to the moon. The problem? He doesn't quite know why he wants to go to the moon. From there, it's a tale of love, drama, and suspense as the scientists dwell further into the man's memories. All the way from his old age to his childhood.
I'm glad it knew when to be funny, though the pop-culture references could have died down a bit. Seriously, some of them were really inappropriate. But other than that, to delve further into this tale would be spoiling what I think is a wonderful story. You will laugh and cry with this story.

Thanks. Had to edit it slightly as the original picture would make anti-AnimeGAF judge me even more.
Here is is for those who are curious. It's SFW if viewing pictures of anime girls at work is considered SFW. Though maybe I should add a note of caution.
yeah its a popular subject recently.
Ohh thats Noel? Didnt recognize her without color. Thats perfectly fine then

Yes, I went a bit 4kids here, but you know what anti-AnimeGAF is like. I'd likely be accused of being Jimmy Saville reincarnated if I wasn't careful.
Yes, I know its odd that I'm saying this considering some of my previous avatars, but they were cropped.
Ace of the Diamond Episode 9:
I'll tell you what, this series is make me appreciate the cheesy sports montage in ways I never would have imagined previously. Indeed, I think I am officially sick and tried of watching Eijun Sawamura be trained so terribly and failing miserably. Indeed this was yet another episode of that crawling towards some sort of fucking resolution as they finally have Chris quasi-coaching him. I think the biggest developments this are Satoru Furuya being sent back to second-string training and at last the end of the arc road being revealed. I will say Ace of Diamond is by far the weakest show that I fully picked up watching tis season at the moment.
