Mobile Suit Gundam 16
So in this episode Sayla takes the Gundam out for a joyride, and I'm still not entirely sure why. She says it is to prove that a woman can fight as well as a man in a mech (which yeah, okay), but when she lands in solitary she makes it sound like it was to discover whether or not Char was her brother and whether or not he was alive. Which I don't know how she was going to do in a fight. In the meantime, Amuro suits up in the Gunman and proves he can kick ass regardless of the mech, although he has a hard time going suit to suit with Ral at this point. Ral, for his part, just kinda waltzes around the battle-field, kicking ass. At one point he becomes a trap-door spider, hides under the sand, the pops out of it and slices the Gundam's foot in two. It's freaking awesome. It's Ramba Ral.
Oh and I guess the boat needs some salt.

Samurai Flamenco 10
This episode was great. Again it went full-retard the good way. I'm glad Flamenco Diamond got put in her place.
when they told her she's an asshole and a side character my tears of joy were too much i hate her so.
Its called GAF FIX THE SITE
There is a lot of scheduled maintenance these days, huh?

Today it was NPD day
NPD?
Scheduled Maintenance announced an hour before it happens isn't really "scheduled."

You are in GAF and don't know what NPD is =D ? Tracker that releases videogame sales of US once per month.

*points to gaming side*
The most important card. ;_;
I find the obsession with sales an unusual facet of gaming fandom. How many people really care how much merch the Seahawks sold this year?
Don't blame the voters for this one, it was never submitted.
Dreamworks needs to partner up with Hosoda or something. His stuff has mass market appeal. It just doesn't have the Disney marketing machine.
People want something they like to sell so they can get more of it. Not hard to figure out and, on topic, surely you can empathize if you've ever had a show you wish never ended.
Novid was right.

Sadly apt.
Well its one thing off my shoulders. I can definitely assure I don't care in performance now.
Admittingly I find 3DS worrying

Aren't sales posted in this thread too? At least the anime sales don't bring the forum down though....
I didn't say I couldn't understand it. I just find it unusual. Which is my explanation for why I don't follow sales for video games.
The 08th MS Team 4
So let's get the good out of the way first, shall we? The team interactions in this episode were great. Karen socks Sanders, and Sanders tanks a kick to the balls. Shiro bails him out of a fight, and Elidor freaks out at being offered his job as MS pilot. It all comes together when Sanders himself decides to kick his curse to the curb and beat the shit out of the Apsalus.
And here's what's bad:
The Apsalus. The fucking Apsalus. I mean first of all it is a Mobile Armor, and those are the STUPIDEST THING IN GUNDAM HISTORY. There has NEVER. EVER. EVER been a Mobile Armor which wasn't shit. THIS INCLUDES CHALIA BULL AND LALAH SOONE. Mobile Armors are SHIT.
And here's why: The Zeon dump a hilarious amount of money into building the Apsalus, and Sahalin is laughing mad about how goddamn powerful this stupid thing that is literally a turd with an anus mouth and Zaku head slapped on, but in the end, its just a flying cannon. Because when it is faced by TWO mobile suits firing on it, the dude in the background points out "you can't handle that kind of fire at that range!" And Sanders jumps on the damn thing and splits it open with a single beam saber.
And that is Mobile Armors for you in a nutshell. Spacers waste a hilarious amount of money on them, the bad guys hype it up and laugh about how it is so undefeatable and this time they're gonna kill that Gundam for sure, then one or two mechs kill it in less than ten minutes.
Because it's a pod with a cannon. Or a wheel. Or something. It's just this dumpy blob of metal that sucks and is going to die. Every time. All the time.
If you are writing a Gundam show, do me a favor and don't include Mobile Armors. You know why G Gundam is the best Gundam show? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY FUCKING MOBILE ARMORS.

Because this ain't console wars shit. At least anime sales don't kill brain cells like console wars.
Don't tell Articalys, but I really never bother to care about those posts, either.
Is he still MIA?
Nah he posted in the manga thread yesterday.
I dunno, but after the razzing people gave him last time he got banned, he might be a bit slow to come back here.

Man this episode was awesome. Everything you want in a Toku finale. The thing I love about this show is I have no idea where its going to go next. After this arc pretty much anything is possible.

Yozakura Quartet - Hana no Uta 10
In which Shingo Yamashita proves that he is not just a highly skilled animator, but also a talented and surprisingly thoughtful director. The cinematography and use of color was off the charts. The attention to detail and the low-key direction makes this episode stand out from the flash the show normally excels at. So much great character animation too. It really sold the feelings of Hime, struggling to balance being a high-school girl and the responsibilities of being a mayor, and of younger Juri, struggling between her hatred of adults and her desire to be one herself. Hime's grandmother came fully to life in the flashback. I continue to be amazed at how much I like and care about the characters in this series.
Dust particles... extreme close-ups... mmm...

P5 is coming next year. I can't get rid of the PS3 yet!
All the rumors are true!
I'm playing Over My Dead Body (Oreshika) right now. Its better than any game on the 3DS.

Well. Was just pointing out that gaming isn't the only fanbase where people look at sales. Mostly tech and entertainment where it happens though. But, yeah, gaming might be worse than any of the others on this point.
Fair enough.

Ghost Banri isn't that bad.
It's Banri's fault. His bullshit desire to follow in the way of his predecesors and yearn for childhood friend is what's ruining this show. He needs to be more cool and suave. Like me
edit: speaking of Yozakura Quartet, I think the best way to describe the guy directing it is like the George RR Martin interpretation of South Park.
"As the sun was setting, Hime and the gang were thoughtfully thinking about what the future might entail. Her pantsu glittering with hope. Akina arrived as well. And we all know this guy has best pantsu"
I kind of want to play Conception.

The circle of life.
Eventually you realize that your predictions of what shows you'll enjoy before they come out will never be entirely accurate, and you learn to accept it. Take things as they come.

This is some Jun Maeda shit.
KnK ;_; I blame Shergal for hyping me up for Ishidate's directorial debut.
I hope the second half of the show goes meta and concerns him fighting against cliches and his own creator.

SHE REALLY REALLY REALLY LIKES HIM.

kill la kill whatever episode we are on
wowowowow.
. what an incredibly emotional climax.
also the fanservice was really bothering me this episode. i don't know why. the hyper jiggling boobs stuffed into every shot just seemed annoying.
for all its nudity this show doesn't even have the balls to kill off any of this useless cast.
wowowowow.
it was me, random character, all along. i killed your dad. (not another fake out at all)

Breaking the fourth wall that much would be fantastic. I can't recall that much in anime/manga besides for a joke here and there. Though recently I read a manga that was brilliant. This random pretty boy says something stupid and the friend just keeps smiling and says "don't try and become the focus, we're only background characters"
Well. Senpai did notice her.
