How about you just skip the episodes like the rest of humanity?

Why be reasonable when I can force you to hear my complaints?


Thanks, Dad.

Outside of Utena, I don't watch them.

Nadesico's are the good ones.

Anime was made without the expectation of DVR or having it all on disc already.

Sure in 1970. 2013? I dunno.

Shoko is a dumb bitch and Haruto forgetting her existence means he can hook up with Rukino. Yamada was sort of dumb, too, so his death isn't a big deal. L-Elf running up and slitting the Fuhrer's throat on global television so the world could see it heal and realize what a bunch of fucktards they were for condoning the indiscriminate slaughter of HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS was about as awesome as it gets.
 
But xenoblade has giant tits tho

so basically, not particularly ambitious. shame.

The thing is I don't think the show left a lot of room to move. I mean the other option, which I guess is left open for a new series, is the main character getting her own inn and then hiring her friends.

The Kill la Kill OST is a big step down from Attack on Titan, and it's not like that soundtrack was without its flaws. I don't think Sawano and Imaishi are the best combination; at least Araki had him focus more on Carmina Burana derivations instead of just modern pop music jumbles.
 
Apocolypse Zero 1

Okay, so like, before I begin, I will say that this flew by faster than expected.

That being said....

I... don't understand. I mean, this episode was pretty much straight up porn. Not GOOD porn either, I mean it had giant tits (Beyond human recognition), Pubic Hair, GORE PORN! GRATUITOUS GORE PORN! BUT ESPECIALLY GIANT TITS! EVERYTHING HAS TITS, EVEN MR ROGER PROBABLY HAS TITS IF HE WAS IN HERE!

I mean good fucking lord, do bras not fucking exist in this apocolyptic word? Not ones big enough for ginormous tits that was on the Wolf like Monster of 6-tittia or that... Giant Dominatrix chick who knows how to suck it dry. No clearly, being in a post apocolyptic world means one must improvise with what they have in front of them
Like ripping a dude's face off to cover a nipple :l :l. Ten bucks people rip other people's flesh off for bras.

I would probably say this was done by an extreme version of Chet and maybe someone in here that likes their gore porn, which was so over the top that it was fucking hilarious, filled in a world where a woman can apparently gain the power to make your dick shoot out your mouth. Unfortunately, I think I rather call Zero "DickMouth" at this point.

More importantly, What is Ribbon Girl's name? I mean I know what it is, but I don't want to believe that she's called Whoria *checks* oh it's just missing a w. How swell! I kinda feel sorry for the skinny guy though...
HAH

MIGHT AS WELL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT EPISODE.

There's some good stuff in there but it's like parts of different songs. Light Your Heart Up and I Want To Know are pretty decent, especially the former.

I reviewed it, no one cared! :(

I always care. I just don't always notice!

I liked it. It was mostly the main characters mothers story, but I really quite enjoyed that. Of course I just enjoyed being back in that universe again.

The thing is I don't think the show left a lot of room to move. I mean the other option, which I guess is left open for a new series, is the main character getting her own inn and then hiring her friends.

I shouldn't really criticize something I haven't seen so I should make a point to watch this in the next day or two so that I can actually have a meaningful conversation on it with you and anyone else who saw it.

Kuroko's Basketball 1-10 & Star Driver 1-8

Been watching Kuroko the last few days after I got bored w/ Star Driver. I liked Star Driver but every episode felt the same so I kind of lost interest. I might finish it. I really liked the Monochrome song.

OTOH, I'm totally hooked on Kuroko. I keep expecting their opponents, especially the Miracles, to turn out to be villainous assholes but that hasn't happened yet. It's an interesting way to handle things.

Eh those two just sound like middling pop songs to me.

Light has this sort of happy tone to it. It's something that you would find in My Little Pony or a Disney movie, and I like it for that. Also those two are actual songs unlike the majority of the OST.

Can't agree there. Orchestrated version of Don't Lose Your Way is godly.

Watched some finales.

Unbreakable Machine Doll - fairly typical chapter wrapup go read the manga ending. Assuming it is based on a manga/LN series.

Non Non Biyori - *sigh* More pleasant awesomeness. Would totally watch a second season.
A bit surprised they did not give the brother an actual line for this final.

Ars Nova - Yay. A Happy Ending. So wish we could have a S2.

Also finally finished S1 of Natsume's Book of Friends. Adore this show. Though I would have liked a bit more than the episodic show we got. Would have liked to see Natsume develop some connections or stories that go more than one episode. Would also like to see him admit the truth to Class Prez so they can then go and have adventures together.

I will say that I really like track 14. The frustrating thing with Sawano is that he has obvious talent with traditional orchestration, but he just can't help adding half-baked pop and random noise to his scores.

There probably isn't alot to say. It could have easily been an ova, beyond the extra money they had for animation. But I'd certainly welcome talking about it again.

So impressions of dog days episode 1 so far, the guy is supposedly not japanese, yet his name is shinku izumi. That's kinda a huge oversight

Diebuster 2

Man, I used to think the cockpits of the Vox series in The Flower of Lagrange were lewd, but that phallic rod the girls spent the entire battle atop was positively suggestive.

Wait so this war is just like a game thing? Or is this kinda reality show game stuff just a funny haha joke?

Is Kuroko's Basketball enjoyable if you aren't interested in :DTL?

No, especially if you enjoy real basketball in the slightest.

The author has no sense of the rules of the game or positions or anything of the sort. Just watch Prince of Tennis since that's what Kuroko is trying to ape, except that Prince of Tennis is actually enjoyable.

So LN series Railwars is getting an anime.

You know...you'd think given the place of rail in Japan that rail would be a big theme in anime.I don't think i've really seen any.

Dog Days episode1
well I knew the show had some moe and had something to do with fighting, but it seems to be alot less tension filled than I thought, they do fight in a "war" but nobody gets killed and such, would be funny is halfway through stuff starts getting serious and people start actually dying.

I'm quite big of NBA fan, and I enjoy it greatly.

Its definitely not following the true spirit of the sport, but Kuroko actually capturing the other thing that bball fan can find it cool.

Highlight reel moment, Kuroko putting effort to those "hype" moment in basketball like dunk, crossover, stylish-pass.. and clutch moment

If you enjoying watching NBA superstar goes iso and bring glory by himself, you'll see that in Kuroko, in exciting way.
