Tokyo Ghoul Illustration
Illustration done by Ishida Sui the author of Tokyo Ghoul for the second season of the anime. The art looks splendid as always.
The only thing I'm looking forward to for the second season is Kaneki beating some ass.
is there a source on this?
Im just finding myself confused. Like it makes sense in its context but when you think back to every episode before it...i feel like this is a waste of time.

Dammit. Guess I can save my monies for now.
So she's standing behind him, but her arm is in front of him?
That's some really bad compositing.

It's from the latest chapter of Tokyo Ghoul:re the sequel of Tokyo Ghoul manga.
I love the setting, characters though, not so much. They just did not strike a chord with me. Hate might not have been the right word to describe my stance on the arc, lets just say out of all the One Piece arcs its definitely towards the bottom. But that's just me, I like terraformars so you want to take my opinions with a grain of salt lol
Yup.

I really dig Skypiea because the buildup with Jaya was SO GOOD.
Also, besides giving us some cool story progression with Robin and the poneglyphs, Chopper, Nami, and Usopp got some fighting potential.
And I thought Enel was a great villain.

Almost bought this, glad I didn't. Makes me wonder about the Cowboy Bebop blu-ray. What's funi's track record for releasing older anime?
First Champloo set botched, thought I saw a lot of banding reported on the E7 releases. Fingers crossed!
Regarding the E7 rerelease, I'm just going to share this screenshotcomparison link I saw on twitter last night. lol
Looks like the effect of someone recording it off screen with a digital camera.

I never really understood the point of such throwaway villains being written in the plot.

Haikyuu! 22:
I got pretty hyped up with the end of that episode. I definitely did a little fist pump at that block, although I immediately felt pretty silly about it. Kageyama being so awkward around everyone is pretty funny. I'm enjoying this match a lot, although the lengthy Oikawa flashback didn't really feel necessary to me. It slowed down the pace of the match a fair amount.
How does something like that even happen?

Here we go.
Wow Funi you aint to hot are you?
At least the artifact compression shouldn't be anywhere near as bad on the blu-rays.
Here's another choice one.

Stuff like inferior visuals on the Western releases of BD's always sucks, especially because the only reason you'd buy anime as a fan is as a 'collectors' item considering the proliferation of streaming. When I have the option I'll pick up the JP BD if it is has English subs, but that's rarely available..
Congrats. You can watch the OVA now.
Supposedly the banding is a throwback to the non-HD TV days where the brightness level on Japanese and US TVs were different. Funimation seemingly in the past corrected the brightness level for the differences and they haven't adjusted their process since. There isn't any difference between US and JP TVs now so the blu-rays come out too bright.
Agreed. It doesnt take much to get the video quality right the first time.
If they cant be botheted to QA their discs, I cant be bothered to buy.

This is a bad guy speech alright.
We get to know all the plans of the bad guys, Ryouta dies again and the resistance shows up dressed as priests and nuns with guns.

Yes. Its frustrating
The Japanese BDs don't have English subs. Also be glad that the JP re-release came out as the original BDs are going for 700+ now.

Well, that sounds especially dumb. It's been years since HD was standard for pretty much all anime, so it makes FUNimation seem extra incompetent if they haven't changed things at all, given how much time they've had.
Especially considering that the other real reason to buy the discs would be for interesting special features, but most western releases (outside of NIS America/Aniplex stuff) is missing the majority of that, aside from some rare exceptions.

With the widescreen ratio, special heroine ending, and the general way things are shot - as such that I can believe they were CGs, even if they have the full range of motion - this is one of the few anime I've seen that really captures what playing a VN is like, while still using its time in the animated medium to its advantage. One of the huge advantages of VNs - aside from the fact that they have multiple, already completed stories - is how, by their very nature of being in the first person - can delve into their characters' thoughts. Not just the hero, but the heroines. That extended flashback to Michiru's past was pretty well done. Burying her was taken as much as a symbol as it was something actually happening. A school with very few students is bound to feel dreamlike, anyhow. And Yuuji proved he's not a complete jerk.
I can see why Michiru got a magical girl spinoff, can someone animate that? This show is quickly becoming something I look forward to watching. Though they're comparatively rare to be adapted these days, VNs have still got it.

Uhm, one hand is on his shoulder and the other is on his back?
Your finest work.
What have you done!?
Still really hoping that someone picks up Hyouka. NISA would do well with it, I think.

I'm comparing their depth from the camera as shown by her hands to their depth as shown by their feet. Her feet seem well behind him, but her hands suggest that she's next to him.
Yamato 2199 - 13
It's a pity that Okita was indisposed. An episode of cat and mouse between him and the submarine would have been fun to watch. As it is, we're left with the largely unlikable Yamato cast. It's kind of frustrating that the ideas of the show are good but are hampered by some of the characters or occasional blips in the episode composition.
Would like to have more scenes about the Gamillian's political scheming.

Some amusing bits though the episode was structured a tad weird with it showing stuff that happened and then went back to explain what happen. The AIs were interesting. I wish this show would stop teasing its seriousness if nothing is going to happen for a while

Incredibly slow-paced as always, but the appeal of this series lies on a meta level, and one that's perfect for people like myself. Its purpose is to have basically every major voice actress in one production, an all-star series. You had Kaori Mizuhashi (huge change in character after hearing her as Michiru), Aoi Yuki, Maaya Uchida, Rina Satou, Ayane Sakura, and so on and so forth, all sharing the same screen space. There were also adorable kitties and studying for tests. Hina has some of the most anime-hair like hair I've seen in some time. Half of it is pink and half of it is purple. Like, literally half, split down the middle, like Two-Face, or Kamen Rider W.
I still like it. This is some of the purest, most uncut essence of cute girls in anime that I've seen. Every series has a niche, and I think I fall right into who this particular series is aiming for.

I really like watching anime that make me cry and ones that get me all emotional. Anyone else in the same boat? I know some people don't care for such shows, and some people are hard to move emotionally but I always cry when watching shows. I've always been a person who strives to get such experiences from the things I watch and listen to and thus I rarely watch shows that I feel would have lacked the emotional punch that I desire.
I don't really like shows that go out of their way to be shocking or depressing as such, but those shows that have moments out of nowhere that hit you hard due to the great character building pay off amazingly. GTO was show that killed me in this regard. Man the show is hilarious but the emotional moments had me in a wreck. Such an amazing show. The live action version is awesome too!
Remember, it doesn't have to be tears of sadness, sometimes the tears are due to happy moments that hit you hard. I love feeling all the different emotions and such, so shows that contain super happy moments, depressing moments and even awe-inspiring moments all go into my good book. Gunbuster/Diebuster, Giant Robo, NHK and Only Yesterday are some examples on the top of my head. All had great emotional points of different kinds that hit hard without going into obvious stuff like Grave of the Fireflies, Texhnolyze, Now and Then etc.
Anyone got any good recommendations or shows that you would like to recall and reminisce about that hit you emotionally or great soundtracks that did a similar job?

There's still a movie out there for people that doesn't like how GuP doesn't take itself seriously!
seriously, you could make a scale of GuP to Fury for any tank related shit and everything else would fall in-between.
Fury's battles were about as realistic as GuP ones though.

I don't know about "Kira Jesus" but maybe his middle name should be "Rito". And I will skip how unlikely is she survived: there was no land on sight (the base island is supposed to be far away so normas can't escape flying away, not enough fuel) and there was a dragon attacking her. And of course Rito is a mechanic?
I like how the pink-hair lady is going to a camping in the park, basket included.
Oh, a snake bit her in the crotch. I suppose Rito will have to suck the poison?... yep. With a soothing romantic music in the background too, lol.
God the montage of happy times with vocals... slain.
