That was pretty good. Good drawing and animation, decent pace, action, plans, and all very stylish. And all the characters in their recognizable archetypes. Oh and the ending song is good!

"But one day there will be a time when you must do what needs to be done. It's a task only you can shoulder"
Holy mother of all foreshadowing.
A fine set of episodes with the twelfth being the highlight. Really liked the graveyard scene and the flashback to the old case of Fiend and Karma Demon. The conversation with Asahina Tomiko finally provided a pretty rational explanation for the current messed up state of things in this God forsaken district. I was expecting the Ethics committee to come off as much more plainly evil guys so this is a pleasant surprise. (But they still seem to go way overboard.)
I'm glad that some chain of authority that rules over this area was finally firmly established. Though Saki seems to have missed the opportunity to ask about the fate of all those kids who don't graduate from Harmony school. The continuous lack of info about the outside world peeves me of too. This district consists of 7 villages and is not larger 100 square miles yet those kids don't seem to be very interested in what lies beyond. (outside of squeerats.) And where exactly

Saki is totally going to off Maria at the end. The fact that she narrates this probably means she recovered all her lost memories aka became the chief of Ethics committee. /wild theories

So was making Saki an heir to take over from the current chief. This seems to propel the story in a much different direction than I expected.
was Mamoru running off to ? Sometimes I get the feeling this whole area is more like a prison/reservation for mutants to segregate them from the rest of the society. And the squeerats colonies are just a buffer/additional security zone.

Oh damn, wasn't aware there's a movie. Hmm if it's better I may actually just watch that now instead. After episode 6 I'm actually not really willing to watch the rest of the series in full anyways.

It looks a tad better in the illustration than in the video...
If that's your one criteria why not go with a better iDOL like Azusa, or as the yanks call her, AzU-S-A U-S-A U-S-A?
Looks hot af.

Any experts on the Detective Conan series/IP?
What's the best to watch? I'm in the mood of seeing a few episodes, but just the best of the best compilation. Just 7-8 episodes, the best stuff you would show to someone to convince him it's really good, or a pair of movies if the movies are the best material, don't give me a list of 40 episodes to watch, then I won't watch shit

.Mature posted a list of good episodes. They are generally from the earlier parts of the series but they are probably the most classic cases.Any experts on the Detective Conan series/IP?

Miki is like 3rd best idoru, not quite makoto tier but better than the scrublord idorus like the twins and takane
Dat 90's coloring
Hmmm, this will either be the really good or really bad. Although you can't really say much from what we were shown. For all we know they decided to use footage from the cartoon that the protagonist's son likes to watch, since it seems so different from the key visuals we got so far.

HeroBank Episode 36: Okinawa Business Trip
Let's nankuru naisa! Fun episode.
Justice star presence was what we needed since all other allies were busy and his personality is pretty funny, especially when Fukuta is making a line about him. Fukuta was also great when he was speaking of Sekito.
Was also one of the most hilarious herobank episode. The idiot moment especially.

Nagara
didnt think he would be one that would take such things to heart like that (having no presence or humanity, not eating, and being antisocial...guess he does enjoy these friends even if he seems to want to stay on the edge of it

Oreca Battle & DraColle 36
Oreca was another setup, but I love the sparkles always added when Chuchulain speaks
DraColle was pretty hilarious. Mansa the witch and the lies on the staircase had to be one of the funniest moments in all DraColle thus far. Then everyone arguing over who could or couldnt go up there.

That's all kinds of fucked up
A pleasant place this is decidedly not. They actually mentioned the bigger world, current population of Japan and the other districts, neat.
So not only messing up with memory but a regular long running hypnosis of the kids.

Ping Pong is more of an anime about people that just so happen to play ping pong rather than an anime about ping pong.
If you like it you should check out the manga author's other works, they're really interesting.

Why is Day 8 good for me? I'm rather upset by that now.
I was on Twitter, and someone posted a link to the 2003 Astro Boy series on DVD on Amazon, and it was only $6. Didn't think about it and just bought it. Decided to do some research this morning to find that the set has no Japanese audio, the episodes are out of order and edited, and that the show is a widescreen show and was cut down to 4:3. I guess it's good it was only $6 :|
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
A breathtaking and beautiful film that truly embraces the art of animation. This adaptation is Ghibli at their very best but also possibly their most different film. But while different usually suggests a unique take on an idea, here it feels the opposite. Ghibli, especially under Miyazaki's direction, usually takes existing stories and ideas and makes it their own, but here Takahata's adaptation is straight forward and faithful.
The personal touch in this film is not so much in what it changes from the folklore, but rather what it chooses to draw out and emphasize in the story. Using the age old story as a vehicle, Takahata explores themes of freedom, true happiness, conformity in society, and a woman's place in ancient Japan. But in doing so he never really strays away from the original tale, and the sad melancholic tone it carries. Everything about the production and the art style feels like a love song to the fable, and the era it paints.
What the movie reminded me of most in fact, is the golden age of Disney films where they took classic fairy tales familiar to everyone, and without making them particularly different, they just told them with the highest level of passion and production effort they could. Snow White, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty. Princess Kaguya would feel right at home as the Japanese cousin of such classics. It's fitting that only a studio like Ghibli could take on such a task.

I really have no idea how you keep soldiering on. You are brave and very patient.
Lol yeah Juden Chan is soooo cute but so uhm.....fetishistic.
Had it for years BEAR
Now that you understand the situation more I think its nearly time to be able to discuss it. but just a little more heh.
You can see now that tis society has been created out of necessity. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Tragic and disturbing but they literally have no choice.
:O
I hope if this is new anime it still cheaps out on the visuals, for the laughs.
Of course Ive had a copy! I couldnt pass this show up when it came out! This show is a treasure.
Didn't stop me. All my opinions on the series stem from the show and fan culture since I've never played the games.

Cardfight!! Vanguard: Link Joker Episode 163 (END) engDub
Fantastic Cardfight!! Vanguard arc. I would probably place it right with the first season as the best season. Sure we abandoned the pure cardfights of the past for a story that was out of this world and even the planet of Cray, but it was fun. Dark Takuto embodying the Link Joker clan was a fantastic change for his character. It helped to give him some backstory as well as enhance team Ultra Rare. Toshiki Kai was given more screentime too greatly emproving his character. It even made him have way more expressions than in the past. I still think he could have been an antagonist at some point in time. He would have been perfect for one.
I will miss the Яeverse. Definitely AOTY worthy.
Now to wait for engDub of cfvanguard Legion arc.

It's interesting that you bring up the Disney comparison. I felt some similarities in that respect, most obviously in the fable/fairy tale aspect, but also some key differences. I need to write up my own review at some point.
