If I only like ninja girls-themed fanservice, does it count ? ;p
I don't get people who complain about Yozakura Quartet's fanservice as I find the pantyshots easy to ignore most of the time. Maybe I'm jaded. But it's the kind of the series you watch for its charm, anyway.
Considering the Go Nagai influences (among others) in Kill La Kill, I really don't understand people who complain about Ryuko's kamui. What were they expecting ?
the inability to kill those shitty kids is a failure of the game designer

Haha. Funniest thing I've seen in a while.
Digging through news while I was asleep, Kamiaso is getting an anime:
http://www.animate.tv/news/details.php?id=1386578207
Edit: been told it's in the official site's source code that Brains Base is doing it.
Meanwhile ANN still leaks Japanese magazine scans and watermarks them even when there's a public raw already out. But I was told by a Kodansha US representative a few days ago about the first amendment:

which apparently also covers scanning magazines.

I'll just chime in here and say I find the fanservice in Yozakura Quartet to be most pleasing and it doesn't feel out of place to me at all.
aaaahhhhhhhh Yukarin in my Samumenco, I don't know how to feel about this
Madoka Magica Rebellion!
[praise and stuff]
Ooh yes, these positive impressions of the new Madoka movie are giving me new hope. I thought all may be lost after the first spoilers came out and everyone was suddenly laughing at the movie (though I refused to read any spoilers myself), but now I feel justified in looking forward to it again.
...the god-knows-how-many months I'm going to have to wait before I'm able to see it are still going to sting, though =/
Hnnnnnghhhhh Kizu had better hurry up and exist because I am feeling the hype right now.
Well, previews in general tend to be a spot for anime to do whatever-the-heck-they-feel-like (as long as it's not actually previewing the next episode, that is...) And idols do love publicity!

The fan service is kind of the point of that show. It's not really the same as out of place fan service in a show that isn't built around it.
On the other hand this also a program about about an RPG world set in modern times with magical appliances and more to the point a generation of characters who were gearing up to fight a great war all of a sudden find themselves with a very sudden peace and warriors on both side are struggling to adjust in this strange, new world. This premise got corroded by cheap gags and softcore fanservice that I'll be honest, when goes that far, go all the fucking way. Find a digital channel and be the hentai we all know you want to be. For all of this YuuShbu has earned my hatred.
Ahahah, yeah, I wasn't expecting YuuShibu to be such a massive fanservice-fest when the season started, and my first episode impressions were basically a giant rant about its utter shamelessness.
Then I accepted it for what it was and moved on. =p

If you're okay with the fanservice and rape jokes in Kill la Kill I don't see why you should have problems with the fanservice in YuuShibu.
Pretty much, I accept that this what the show was going to be and dropped it. It is really more about squandered potential then anything else.
Not the same thing actually since the fanservice is controversial, but it isn't as gratuitous as some people think it is either and is actuallty kind of important to the show narrativly speaking. How important remains to be seen.

THANKS OBAMA
"Considers fanny-packs to be the utmost in haute fashion. :x" ?
Why are you pointing at that?

Yea I now understand why the summaries for the movie were a mess and hard to decipher as the movie is kinda complex and dense. If I wrote a summary right now, people would be asking what the fuck is going on.
I also really have no clue why the Japanese reception to this was so insanely negative. There are certainly some issues with the movie but it's not utter derisive dog shit.

But the scrnes for ryuko, camera angles chosen while shes being whipped, the constant thin strapes coming up her bewbies often, kind of keeps killing kill la kill, its awkward, painful, and an extreme turnoff.
Ikkitousen has worst fanservice, its actually droppable in mere minutes.
The faintest of praise!
----------------------
Also, I must apologize to Nafe. Someone informed me (when they wished my Happy Birthday) that my MAL profile is wrong. Now it all makes sense. It's the 31st of December, not today!
Oops.
I thought the movie doing great in blockbuster?
EDIT : Apparently its on pace to pass K-ON Movie box-office gross : http://www.mania.com/aodvb/showthread.php?p=2010470#post2010470
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Some of us seek out very specific things
Hell yes

Best decision you'll ever make.
I was referring to the impressions that came out when the movie started airing not so much the sales.
Candy Store is secret best girl, never expected that
agreed, also i want more Candy Store/Renge interaction dammit!
Damn, that makes me even more excited haha
That last episode was soooo adorable.
Troll always louder, didn't you guys got spoiler from 2ch or something?
No there were some animegaf impressions too.
Nice pic for the 2nd Persona 3 movie due out in early summer

Got two packages from Rightstuf today with:
Dirty Pair TV
Garden of Words
Grave of the Fireflies
K-ON! the Movie
Michiko and Hatchin
Rose of Versailles Part 2
But my order of Wolf Children is still MIA...
This is a pretty good pick up post.
Yozakura Quartet
Anyway, I'm just really enjoying the show and look forward to whatever it is that comes next.
Who is that in your avy? so cute
Such as hair colored eyelashes?
Best STUDIO
Yayyyyy
God I love your writeups so much Corvy.
I marathoned the whole show in one go. I might also be masochistic and an alien.

Midsummer Knight's Dream eh? These titles are pretty good!
Yes indeed. Golden Time is pretty good. Shit gets real and it gets real fast.
Unbreakable Machine Doll
2 more episodes left? I'll miss Yaya.
Me too. Luckily I will have a figurine of her soon so she will always be around
Yuushibu isnt that bad. I kinda find it hilarious how Fino always ends up covered in white goo of some kind. Its so utterly shameless that its magnificent.
I do approve.
Candy Store is secret best girl, never expected that
I can't believe it's ending, my life won't be the same without Non Non Biyori, it's seriously one of my favorite animes ever.
I guess I'll start K-ON when it's over, I've been interested in it for a while.
YES START K-ON
As an author of one of those impressions, I really didn't like it.
The ending rubbed me the wrong way a lot, but even besides that, a lot of the visual symbolism, and especially all the scene-setting faffing about early on, felt like it was wasting my time. Reminded me of a lot of the stuff I hated about Bake before I dropped it.
It's possible that the language barrier caused me to miss something, but I don't feel like the movie's density really served it in any way. It had its moments, but I don't feel like it properly built to where it ended up.
3.0 had a lot of the same problems, but it didn't stink of money-grubbing and fanservice the way Rebellion's conclusion and various cameos do.
Yea I was discussing this in the spoiler thread briefly but I actually think the scene-setting stuff early on is actually crucial compared to
the school shit in Code Geass R2. The stuff in R2 was a reset because of producer demands and directorial ineptitude. In Rebellion, it serves as a partial driving force for Homura's decisions later in the movie and ultimately the climax. The movie unfortunately then later has to explain what's going on, which causes the weak 4th act due to Kyubey explaining shit.
The movie really is dense and like I mentioned earlier, it should have been expanded into a full fledged sequel or something of that nature.
The ending is what is going to make or break a lot of impressions and whether people think it's justified or not in the context of the movie.
It is foreshadowed and the movie does built up to but the problem is the extent to which Homu goes off the deep end is too much.

Yesterday I watched the first episode of Ranma 1/2. Feelings were served, I used to get up at frigging 7 in the morning to watch it in a national channel when I was way younger than I am (anime in normal TV, where those times went?)
Holds much better than I expected and the intro song is still as lovely as I remembered.
I would watch the whole series it if I had some time... Hopefully I will, some day.

Horo and Maou Sadao as support characters.....wtf SEGA.
If Maou is support, surely Emi must be in as a playable character, right? ...Right?
...Ah, who am I kidding, she'd play too similarly to Asuna. Hataraku Maou-sama is just going to get shafted in general.

And Yet the Town Moves was a blind buy so hopefully I'll like it.

I made my piece a long a time ago with the fact we were never going to get a 3rd Gig and watching this I'd be lying if i said said the wound didn't sting. I can't really find much to say about it except from that the OP is great but in general the episode was pretty mediocre.

Horo should have been a main character.
Yuusa should be playable too.

Why they would include Spice and Wolf in a fighting game is beyond me. Sure she can get serious, but like 85% of the anime was this calm economy romance.
darkside31337
Tomodachi wa Mahou
She's a big bad wolf who can fuck shit up.
The fact shes only a support character is just stupid though.
foxuzamaki
Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
WhyXWhy episode 80
Why? ;_;
Why? ;_;
That reasoning went out the window the moment they introduce Kirino as a playable fighter.
It's definitely the best SoL anime this season for sure!
