lol welcome to the party
I already watch Armageddon, the one that I currently watching is the 2004 show.
How I supposed to react for stuff like this.
HNNNNNNGGHHHHHH
And dat preview and eps title
HAYATO IS COMING, Holy thunder of Zeus.. where's this lost art of making hype on modern show.
Creatively bankrupt? Yes. Morally? Probably.
In a strange way, we should all probably admire how little effort everyone would have to put forward on this one.

Yamato 2199
Iscandar was a beautiful sight to behold. I was rolling my eyes in the beginning when it was going to turn into a beach episode but then Yamato went and yanked my heart out.
I thought this show was just entertaining and good when I first started it, never expecting for it to leap into the skies to stand among my favorite chinese girl cartoons of all time.

So I just got a package from RightStuf, and received a code to try out Neon Alley. I have no interest in the service, but there is no reason for a 30-day access pass to go to waste.

Yeah it's some serious stuff. All they need to say is 'Hayato is coming' and you should already be hype, as it were. However, to be fair, super-robot shows get to have the most ridiculous title cards/episode previews in modern anime just by nature of their ridiculous content.

It's so lewd, I love it. I don't think I remember these characters from the first key visual posted a while back.
...You know, I'll probably end up reading this.
As somebody already pointed out, though, the provided title translation and parts of the description are all wrong. I'm glad Fushimi wouldn't sink quite low enough to put "forbidden relationship" right there in the title. I'm actually a little disappointed that he's taken a step backwards and is making the siblings non-blood-related this time around, but I guess it gives the thing a slightly different dynamic (and probably frees him from worries of executive meddling that may or may not have influenced the OreImo ending).
Using the exact same artist AND pose for the cover art is completely shameless and makes me want to facepalm, though. I guess they needed an easy way to communicate to people in stores glancing at the cover that it was the OreImo successor... ~.~
Oh yes, I forgot to mention this in my impressions, that was a hilariously dense moment. (I still didn't think this was a bad episode overall, though.)
YOU HAVE CHOSEN WELL.
This show had better be as amazing as it looks, because for something so gorgeous to turn out to be a disappointment would just be heartbeaking.

BlazBlue Episode 5
They treat Ragna so bad, but it was at times really funny. The scene with Sena and Ragna was probably the best outside of Ragna's brief hot spring scene. For that his design really improves when he has lessor clothes, his outfit always looks way too bulky in the anime.

Looking forward to the next fight at least, so glad he's finally recovered
DTL likes male characters even when they are in female bodies... Interesting.
Another reason why its the superior sub-genre on mechaz.
Is Yamato 2199 going to be eligible for 2013 AOTY voting? I'm a little leery about bringing this up, because I recall last time there were some big arguments about two-cour shows running from fall to winter, but from the looks of things there are a lot of people that might want to vote for it if they can.
Reported to FBI.

Shouldnt it still qualify since it aired in its entirety in 2013 on tv.
Ultimately, Fate/Zero charted in 2011 and 2012, so that should answer your question.
Jojo should also be eligible, as should (I assume) the final episodes of Girls und Panzer, and long-running shows like Space Brothers or Hunter x Hunter.
I sure hope so.
Oh wow, Sentai Filmworks just announced a license rescue for Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, for both BD and DVD, out in March (not sure if multiple parts or one complete set).
edit: they don't have the bonus omake episodes at the moment but they're "looking into it".

Other just-announced March releases include Upotte (dub BD/DVD) and a dubbed BD/DVD rerelease of Maria Holic S2 .

Those two characters are members of "White Light" - a group of heroes of justice fighting the Zvezda organization trying to conquer the world. It makes sense that they wouldn't be in the first key visual, since the main characters are all members of Zvezda, led by their loli leader Vinieira-sama. :lol
Also, reported you to the FBI too.
soo uhhh for Log Horizon's ED song.... the MV is kinda erotic for a jpop autotune song......kinda ruins the whole thing lol.

The ridiculous gets ridiculouserererer.
It wouldn't be the first time!
More like contracts expired. Sounds unfortunate.

There used to be some nonsensical rule designed to exclude long-running shonens, but we ignore that when it suits us.
Classy, these korean chick need to show off their black lace more.
Must have been massive. Like, whole categories have disappeared.
Hopefully some return with dual audio. I don't use the service too often but I enjoy having options.

People watch things through the easiest possible outlet. That's why people watch so much stuff on netflix, it's just there, immediately. Never forget the importance of convenience when considering why people watch something. I'm sure there are plenty of people who have only seen certain anime because it's available on a certain legal streaming service that they already have set up to watch on their TV.
It's really convenient and get the occasional surprise like the original Digimon series in jp.

Poor Kenji is going to be sent home to be a family man. I figured it would happen eventually, ever since his daughter was introduced.
Wooow. Not bad, Sentai.

Yamato 2199 - End
Just... I'll be in my bunk.
Just... I'll be in my bunk.
I checked Netflix's anime selection for the first time in a year last night, and it was extremely sparse compared to what I remember the selection being like in the past. Disappointing, but there are a couple of long-running shounens that I can probably still watch while working out.
I regret nothing.
Yeah, I don't even know how one would romanize some of those character names.
Well, except for White Robin and White Egret. Those are easy.

They're pretty much all Russian: Dva (2), Professor Um (intellect), Robo-ko (Rovoko? I dunno if this is a Russian pun...), Adeen (1), Lady Plamja (flame), General Pepel (ashes).
The power of Google is a great tool!

10 UEEEEEEEEEEEEs out of 10 HANYAN~s
Couldn't have found a better answer myself.
I think it's worth taking a second to explain why this one of the most powerful, and most referenced, sequences in all of Macross. Firstly, a rough gif:
This sequence is actually about 14 seconds in length but it's sped up in the .gif. As we can see the camera is always centred on Minmay as she falls around, and eventually into, the cockpit of the VF-1. What's staggering about the animation in this scene is how many things are being animated at once all while the camera is moving throughout the action. Not only is Minmay, her clothing and her hair being animated but so is the VF-1 which appears to be a fully real 3D object and we have the camera that travels all the way from the outside of the craft to the inside of the craft and then back again all without a single 'cut'.
To animate all these things happening at the same time means that the animators had to practically redraw everything on screen from scratch every few frames. This is hugely time consuming because you're usually just changing some part of some character and leaving everything else in 'the shot' untouched, where as here due to the spectacular camera movement the animators have to re-draw all the details. When the sequence is broken down into individual images it looks something like this:
Of course, outside of the sheer technical accomplishment of the scene we also have the powerful imagery of Hikaru reaching out and catching Minmay in mid air. It's hardly surprising that such a powerful and resonant piece of animation has been replicated everywhere from Eurkea 7 to Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
Well, I retract my earlier comments. The scene certainly is more impressive upon further review.
Just like a real Gundam OP!
Haha, yes, I stand corrected.
Even so, the show is pulled off much, much better than the movie. That movie is so . . . sigh.

If you're just going to be watching random episodes, you should watch 33-34. I can't remember which, but one of them is the best animated episode in the show, at least prior to when I put it on hold around the 80s.

Aim for the Ace 3-4
The coach is crazy, but it seems there is a method to his madness after all.
While this isn't as polished as later Dezaki shows, his characteristic visual tricks still show up. The above shot is one of my favorites, the white lines of the tennis net cutting through Otawa's despairing face, shaded in the depressing color of dark blue. Breaking her into pieces visually reflects her disturbed and fractured mindset after

Those are just filtered on Photoshop; it misses the whole point.
