Why are the Sony memes always so dumb?
This and the news the manga's ending is a sad day for fans of the deepest form of love.
i'm so sorry

Interpret my answer, I hope you know what I'm thinking here.

Does SHAFT tend to reuse voice actors? Negima!? and Zetsubou Sensei seem to have a lot of the same people. I'm just going by ear obviously but it's a very similar premise (teacher/students comedy)
He probably thinks he's too good for us now.
It's mostly the cute cosplay girlfriend. Regulus-chan is just reveling in his springtime of youth.
Ohhhhh... see, you guys should have said that from the start. Now it all makes sense.

Yep. Look at the cast lists for their shows and you'll see a ton of familiar names.
Or just look at that chart Arty posted.

Glad to see I wasn't hearing things. I'm still not at the point I can easily recognize voices, well except for Gintoki's voice actor. Samumenco didn't even try to hide it.

I'd say it's more that Tomokazu Sugita has an extremely distinctive-sounding voice that, while quite versatile, is kinda hard to mask.

Hey look ghost Banri is gone and now things are entertaining/watchable again! I really hope the show doesn't bring back that stupid plot device. As for Linda...

she is best girl. Koko's adorableness doesn't compare to Linda's character.
These are the correct opinions.

At this point
I'm not sure what Koko knows what love even is at this point or more specifically can't distinguish love from attraction. I'm predicting the two (or maybe just Banri) will get tired of the euphoria of "omfg i just got into a relationship" stage, break up, Banri gets with Linda, then break up with Linda and go back to Koko. Said drama will result in Koko character development.
Koko and Linda get together, forever alone ending for Banri. Calling it now.
You're probably right in that guess tho. Koko is pretty emotionally immature.

I just realized that Haruto in VVV is basically
Or I could just be blowing smoke out my ass.
Shadow the Hedgehog. Ignoring that Shadow is an 2edgy4you antihero and Haruto is just a whiny crybaby, Haruto shares traits like was genetically engineered to be the Ultimate Lifeform, has crazy powers, has a creator who doesn't care about him, is overly emotional about things, has a counterpart/rival that is leaps and bounds better than him that he sometime likes and sometimes hates, and will probably start to forget his past.
Nagi no Asukara 7 - Continues to be enjoyable. Trying to get the two parties to settle ended as expected. The whole bit with the guardian of the people was interesting. Still don't quite understand whats really going on there beyond trying to reduce the number of fertile population from leaving for the surface.

Well this IS from the same author of Toradora and that was chock full of melodrama. Good kind though.
I don't think it'll be quite that dramatic, but they did get together way too early so I'm sure they'll have to keep it fresh with some form of drama.

Unbreakable Machine Doll 6
I should not have watched this. Talking robot doll thing or not, a sad dog story is still a sad dog story, something I'm not really in the mood for right now.

I keep seeing people liking it, I dropped it after ep 1, where does it go?

Intense episode, more Kiritsugu backstory.

Great ending of the two-episode arc giving depth to Kiritsugu's character, shame as I really like Nataria.
it pretty much just carries on what the first episode started, if the first ep failed to grab you at all, i don't really think any other episode would be able to change your opinion.
Happy mother's day!

You are absolutely right. It was yet another time when this show could have been something more than the harem-dreck that it ultimately is, but it passed, and proved itself to be nothing more than its genre. And when it IS something which has showed flashes of potentially being something better than that, it's definitely unfortunate to see it not even try.
So yes, the ending where he chooses the right answer -- #1 -- would have been great to see. It's too bad the writers weren't brave enough to go for it.
On the other hand though, as I said in my review of the episode (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=89784065&postcount=3279), I do think that
the super-cute "real Yukihira" is too generic; it's fortunate for the show that she ISN'T usually like that, because that way she'd have nothing to distinguish herself from most any other haremite in most shows in this genre. I don't have a problem with the concept of the external self being a cover, but a better show would have handled both of these elements, both her internal personality and the ending to this episode, much better.
hmm...
Sonic is on WiiU isn't it?
It is indeed.
Oh my. Im interested!

Welp shit is going down.
Welp shit is going down.
Doesn't really seem in Rider's character to bust down a door, kill someone, then kidnap someone. Well, busting doors down is part of his character, the latter two are not. Since the episode was titled "The Assassin Returns" I'm betting the assassin is back in a Rider-disguise?
Thats an impressive chart. Maybe not enough Miyukichi though.
Of course she is.
So Haruto is Mewtwo?
Someone just showed they know too much about Shadow the Hedgehog.

Damn that was like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet gone bad.

Definitely felt for Kariya but on the opposite side of the coin he had been lost for a long time. Kirei taking advantage of this was just awesome. Sad that Maiya is dead and with this show it's safe to say the Matou family is literally just a bunch of dicks.

Watched episode 6 of KnK yesterday, I think i'm losing interest. It's just not holding me. I'm only there for Ai at this point.
Ryuko avatars are the best avatars.
I like to change my avatar a lot. I had a different Eikichi one when I started posting, then two different Ryuko ones, then an Inari one. It's a cycle.

We are now approaching the end. Waver > Shirou is all I have to say. Fucking F/SN
We are now approaching the end. Waver > Shirou is all I have to say. Fucking F/SN
The Beginning of the Day specials are all just bits of the movies first 20minutes they snipped out. It's all stuff that's actually in the movie.
In every way, shape and form.
About a week ago I watching Patlabor movie no. 2, after finished its left me polarized whether to think its a good movie or not, after awhile and reviewing my thought I think I come to conclusion that I don't think its a good movie.
Like your usual serious Oshii's movie, the story is tied heavily to thought provoking philosophy discussion.. This time topic is about the modern people culture that too busy dwelling around "peace" while ignoring unjust situation in everywhere.. the villain in this movie organizing event that gonna shake this foundation of belief, that he think can making big collapse anytime.
The dialogue in this movie is very good, and those philosophy talk does very engrossing and fascinating. So what's the problem?
For a movie that telling story where "terrorism" act shaking the whole country, military taking over country security, shit even foreign relationship heaten up .. Its absolutely give no effort to give portrayal of public panic, confusion, and other else.. the philosophy talk just keep going without the film showing the impact of that event the conservation mention. Instead the movie made my mind provoked the end I feel its just empty social commentary, because I'm not seeing the result of said event.
Movie also ignoring the fact the series have giant cast, instead making use of those character the movie just showing 4-5 character back and forth chatting about that philosophy almamater .. I don't get it, why not use those character to proving those philosophy point? Such like they living in "ignorant peace" and the impact that they got due to the mess instead just leaving it in chat bubble.
The movie also have pacing issue, in last 15 minute its like someone just remember that they got to had police mech action somewhere.
Maybe the movie could work better as a book (Well if they not fixing some problem, I wouldn't call it a good book either though) or the case is in much smaller scope, like president assassination plan maybe? Something that worked better as excuse to have story that basically about investigator working with intel, instead pretending the movie gonna cover bigger ground than that.

Alas the almighty and charismatic Rider
Now it's time for the long-awaited Kirei vs Kiritsugu.
Alas the almighty and charismatic Rider
has fallen. It is to be expected as I've already played F/SN. I really didn't expect Berserker to be Lancelot, will be interested in how that happened, if they show it. Either way a knight armed with a sniper rifle then a SMG is just plain fucking awesome.
If you've got some problem with what I do here on NeoGAF, you can just tell me, you know. I post news as it comes up if I'm interested in it and no one's mentioned it in the thread yet, that's all. I'm continuously working on not adding any extraneous information or misleading details or side comments, and trying to cause less drama.
