CAJUN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO D:
Wait, the villains(?) are called RJ? Is that a not-so-thinly-veiled reference to JR? Are JR the villains of this series?!
(Also, you know, trains are awesome and stuff, get hype)
Pretty sure in this case they're just in there because Shaft ended up with too many episodes to fill in the season after cutting out Hanamonogatari to adapt separately.
That said, I actually kind of enjoyed them, since it had been a while since I'd seen most of the series being recapped.

Yamato 2199 - Episode 13-18
Another great set of episodes. It's amazing how this show keeps delivering. Episode 13 had some really intriguing "naval' combat. I really like how they keep the battles interesting, and the various encounters the Yamato has in every episode feel unique and refreshing. 14 was a classic Izubuchi episode. It felt right out of RahXephon. Great use of atmosphere, shadows effects, and music to create a classic haunted ship episode. 15 had really, really good character art, especially in the bridge scenes. The shading on the faces during the charge scene was soooooooooo good.
16 is probably the most "Star Trek" episode so far. Everything from the exploration of the planet to the political intrigue on the ship was classic Trek. Some pretty tense scenes, but also extremely interesting in terms of how it blew the lid open on a bunch of subplots which have been slowly building in the background for a long time now. It's hard to talk about 17-18 without spoilers, and I don't really want to go there, so I'll just say I love the way they handled the character development in the episodes as well as the advancement of the plot. While the general narrative direction of the show is fairly predictable, and intentionally so, it's cool to see that the actual events that occur are always somewhat surprising and not always what you think is going to happen. I loved the coloring used in the flashbacks too.
This set of episodes reinforces once and for all that the Garmilas side has the BEST cast ever. Yamadera <3 Otsuka <3 Wakamoto <3 Nakata <3 Holy shit. The manliest of men. Where has this show been all my life?! T_T

Argh ..This is like a Total shame this happenned. Oh well.he'll be back ...
The speed of the anime thread will decrease by 8% at least.
The thai champion.
The strike gundma is very intresting .. We know it has absorb & release but now it has a third system in place ?( twist maybe 4 ) but the release system called "discharge" seems to have at least 3 different ways to discharge the particules. the strike build gundam seems to have many secrets.
The entire point of her character is that she is creepy. So yeah she look fake , and that's just as planned !!

Apocalypse Zero 02
The combination of the awesome suit (the scarves hnnngh), the sheer retardedness of the whole thing and Horie. As well as the designs and some decent sakuga, sold it for me.
But yeah if you aren't like me and acid vaginas, dicktits and weaponised phaluses do not entertain you, you might be turned off by this despite its good aspects.
I will say that some of the perversion did seem over the top an unnecessary like how you had random school girls inexplicably uncovering their breasts in their school swimsuits. Why I don't know.
I also lol'd pretty hard at thebrothersister scene.
Yeah I'm not sure if I should have enjoyed this but I think I did.

If ichika was more like a human being , maybe , just maybe, it would help everyone else and the viewer would see several layers of personalities in each girl ?
( at least the cast can't grow anymore ... )
just kidding , it actually can..like a snowball effect ..but it's going to be ugly if it does.
Hell yeah
"5 minute limit was the dumbest thing ever"
200% true
Worse nerf ever in a magical show.
and yeah ..alive 2nd part of her personality was like forgotten ..would have been so cool to see a defensive cure that could go on offensive ( just like heartcatch gave us a long range cure that knew how to behave close range just as much )
Disapointing .

The feature-length films I enjoyed this year are Asura, Blue Exorcist, Saint Young Men, and Wolf Children. For short films/specials there's Death Billiards, Garden of Words, Jinsei Best Ten, and Little Witch Academia. Then there's other films which I didn't like that much but which do have some things going for them such as Nerawareta Gakuen and One Piece Film Z. I don't think you can say it's been a dry year, at least comparatively. An average year doesn't really see more worthwhile films come out than have come out in 2013.

You got your wish zeroshiki, no Star Driver in Z3
But it has FMP, Eva and Unicorn!!! Best SRW ever!
Star Driver might be announced later. I don't think the series list is complete!
Yeah, there's 6 more series yet to be announced. There's probably gonna be a BONES show somewhere there. I don't actually mind Star Driver since its probably gonna be overpowered like crazy ala Aquarion so I might enjoy using it.
I am dreading Gundam Age though but they might hold off on introducing it until the next game or something.
I must agree though
Its just lacking GGG, and my all-star is completed.
*finger crossed*
I need Tauburn in that glorious sprite and overpowered moves.
Is Kuroko's Basketball enjoyable if you aren't interested in
I like it. I think the characters are interesting but it could be that I know what is going on from reading the manga
On Yamato I'm 11 episodes in, and I feel like they all deserve writeups I'm too lazy to make. Every episode from 3 onwards has been top-notch sci-fi. I like the texture they've been giving to the Gamillian side, I like the dynamics between everyone on the ship, I think each episode has been framed really well, and I think the visual design is top notch.
It's much stronger than I ever expected it'd be.

I do quite like Kuroko and I think it's a great series, but it definitely is nowhere near Ahiru no Sora level. How has that not gotten an anime yet?
That's funny, I love basketball, but I also enjoy Kuroko. =p Ace of Diamond is okay too.

Now post gifs of that guy who can shoot three pointers from a different arena.
It's the DBZ of basketball Anime, it was enjoyable for a bit but once they started introducing us to the supervillains *the generation of miracles* shit went straight downhill...
Nah man, even if you dislike the series thing just start to get going when the series begun introducing another GoM beside Kise..
God damn. 2 shows in Winter and 2 in Spring. 2014 is the year of BONED.
I've never played a SRW but now I kinda want to.

I heard here that it was better than RahXephon, so it must be pretty awesome.

AGE is basically considered marketing poison. It certainly will make it to SRW one day, but I don't think they'd throw its debut to a big game like this. And it likely will come after the hate for it has cooled down and most people just feel indifferent about it.

I enjoy it, but I'm also a fan of basketball manga/anime in general so I might be a bit biased in that regard. I love seeing all the different adaptations writers take on the game itself from gritty and realistic like REAL to over the top superpowers like Kuroko. I will say there's quite a bit suspension of disbelief needed for Kuroko, but I still consider it a fun ride.

Yamato 2199 1-26
Man that was amazing. One of the best sci-fi series I ever watched.
It had good characters, a cool story with some good twists, character development for both heroes and villains, amazing scenery, cool alien architecture, awesome space battles with smart strategy and the CG is excellent. And too much visual porn my god.
A must watch for anyone. I would post some visuals but that would spoil the series. Its something you should see for yourself the first time. So a picture of this badass captain.
I want more of this.

Yamato 2199 - Episode 19-20
I couldn't resist watching just two more episodes, and holy shit, what episodes they were. DAT DORMEL! DAT JAM PROJECT! DAT BATTLE! This show is everything a scifi fan could ask for, and more. It's rare that a show can be so impressive from the start, and continue to impress all the way through. Only 6 more to go now. Goddamn.

If AGE is remembered, there might be no future generations.

Merry Xmas to everyone! Including those with JoJo cats!
I hope enough people get around to Yamato before the AOTY thread hits. Not because I care about it winning, but because it seems like a good place to spread the gospel to more casual anime fans.
I'm sure someone has linked to this already, but Bahi has some sweet Space Dandy gifs on on his blog: http://bahijd.tumblr.com/

Off the top of my head, Rozen Maiden and Wolf Children are the only things I'd rank ahead of it in an AOTY list right now. It won't win, but hopefully it will do well enough to get some recognition.
