The hell is a Genesis.
Pretty much. The rest of the harem characters add very little value to the show. Minorin channeling that Yuki persona for Anastasia is amusing though.
The story doesn't really start until after the Robo-One!┐(´ー｀┌ shows are K / Ro;No

All the cool JRPGs and platformers were on SNES so your argument is invalid.
It's a console that was only worth it for the Treasure games.

Hyped for the launch. That punk family is hilarious.
Also :
How many episodes will this anime have ?
Something like 40 or 50.
Great! Thanks for the info.
"JRPGs" are kinda gross.
Genesis/MD had better action games, and that's what really matters.
Treasure isn't even very good.
After they accept the fact that Sega kill the dreamcast and themselves, not Sony.

Sega Mega Drive was for the cool kids though.
What? I've always voiced my distaste for Treasure!
There's a lot more on the Genesis/MD than Treasure, certainly.

It's pretty polarizing. There are some people who are rather vocally opposed to the show, but there's also a bunch of us who enjoy it. The writing is inconsistent, but the overall package is put together really well and makes it into something that's highly entertaining.
edit: Despite only having a Genesis, even I acknowledge the SNES' superiority. It's not even a contest.
I never had either and from my unbiased viewpoint, the Genesis was better.
And Technosoft.

There's so many black bars I can't tell what's even going on with this movie. Has Nakamura and his team failed me?

Actually it happens all the time.
The best part of the Madoka movies was in the new OP when Madoka and Homura blushed and rubbed their heads together playfully. The audience all cheered for that. Plus there was an unprecedented amount of hand holding between the two. That shipping was borderline fan fiction.

No time for guessing, follow my plan instead.

The shade of green is wrong; at first I thought he was the dude from Nazo no Murasamejou.
How the fuck did this get transformed into a big-tittied tsundere?

Bueno. Now they just need to feature Homu wearing Madoka's panties on her head.

Subete no aware
True, but of the men fucking men variety. lol
I guess I didn't think of it as a romance anyway.
I just wonder if these things work for people who have never watched the show or don't give a shit about anime.
What the fuck.
Only in Japan would someone use SS unironically. Maybe I really should forgive Girls and Panzer for being German WW2 fetish porn (no gas chamber references, please).
Also, I like that they realize their fans are creepy as shit but they're still pandering to them anyway. If only some of these guys were science fiction nerds instead of pedos.
I would say give it to the completion of the next arc before deciding it completely drop it or not.
Ah, you're watching it too. Yay. lol

I owned the soundtrack and listened to it endlessly. I have no regrets.

They should have at least kept the colour scheme.
I'd assume impressions will be coming later - that information will make absolutely no sense if you've not seen the movie before hand.

There' s always a bloody pun somewhere.
Blood-C : The Last Dark
The Blood-C film contains virtually everything you might expect from a script written by Nanase Ohgawa. Let me run down the basic checklist:
i) Wacky supporting cast you don't really care about!
ii) Glorious CLAMP continuity porn!
iii) Gratuitous femmeslash! (no brolust in this one, but then you weren't expecting any)
iv) (general spoiler but it's CLAMP so...)
v) Gruesome violence!
There are more, but I don't want to mention them for fear of overall spoilers.
So the film is... really, it's Blood-C in miniature. With the way that the TV series ended, the film has to "start from scratch" in a way; it has to re-establish a premise and a cast, then do stuff with them over the course of the film. The structure is more like a 3 ep OVA anyway, as it's very clearly split into three sections, each ending with a battle sequence - I know three act structure is traditional screenwriting and all, but here it feels super-obvious.
Unfortunately the new characters are pretty dull, and the story isn't really much of anything (a series of contrivances that serve only to deliver the traditional CLAMP plot shocks). With that said, though, you get all the CLAMP boxes ticked above wrapped up in a very shiny Production IG package. MOST of the action sequences in the film are fantastic - really exciting and nicely shot (there's a bit of a problem with CG overuse, particularly for crowd scenes and for crane shots) - and even though the new characters are boring it's not for want of talent from Production IG.
So for most of the film I got pretty much what I wanted - an enjoyably blockbuster style follow-up to Blood-C. It's just a shame that the ending is frankly terrible, then.
Perhaps I need to swot up more on the technical details of certain elements of the TV show. However, (ENDING SPOILERS)
was an enormous anticlimax, particularly followed by a nonsense "18 months later" ending talking about boring characters that no-one likes.
The music was pretty great, though!
Basically, it's a dumb blockbuster by way of CLAMP, which is exactly what I expected it to be, and despite several flaws it's only the weird-ass ending that's a real downer on the film.

that serves almost no purpose and contradicts CLAMP universe rules!

eyeball destruction!

Fumito turning his cousin into what I thought was an abstract verbal contract, here represented by a giant floating vagina eye with petals, then Fumito himself turning into a hideous CG gorgon that dies in about 1 minute flat, all so Fumito can turn himself into a creature like Saya - which doesn't work because reasons

If you're gonna post about it, you should do it in the manga thread. Wonzo already has. Add another series to smutgaf's roster.
Now that's I've caught up with the old and new threads.
Congratulations to Syrinx for finishing School Days.

Continues to be manly. It's Jojo nuff said. Who cares how it looks? Once you're in the zone you forget all that.
Sword Art Online 16 - The Lost Levels
This show clearly hasn't got the balls to troll with its OP so we already can tell the death penalty this time round will most likely not be severe. Showing someone "die" in game after showing them in the OP really does remove the suspense. Of course it would be beyond the power of man to explain why people would willingly play a game that can kill you.
And I'm glad that despite being in a new game our favourite hero is basically identical to his old self. Even a random character generator can't prevent this plainness.

So lets go over this shall we.
Sonic - Well he goes fast, but he doesn't ask for chillidogs when Fantasy Zone's offer for anything comes up.
Phantasy Star - Might as well replace with a broom.
Tails - Clearly never played Sonic 2 because Tails doesn't die no matter what happens to him.
Fantasy Zone - Oh dear God. One of the worst cases of Tsundere in a long time.
Columns - When I think leader of Sega I most certainly think Columns.
Tetris - First I thought his lateness was a joke about the long piece never appearing when you want them to, but apparently he's an L piece so I guess that theory went to pot. What is up with the monkey? Also he doesn't eveb sound Russian.
Link - Talks too much and his bombs are not blue.
Mario - Wouldn't it be easier to set a ship on fire by throwing a fireball? And he has a sword rather than a hammer.
Terrible. See me after class.

y'know
i have to give the girl credit, for being so young she does a really good job with her role. i should not have laughed so much at that last scene.
otherwise this was kinda boring.
Wow. she really does look borderline retarded.
Anime stoops so low these days.
