If the Balrog had wings and was already flying to get to Gandalf, why didn't he just fly OVER Gandalf?! Lol.

The truth of wide angle lenses... finally exposed! Anyways, this was a pretty nice and relaxing end to yet another incredivly enjoyable series of Hidamari Sketch. I'd definitely put x365 ahead of the original series with Hoshimittsu as a close second. Now, onto the specials and then I can finally start the new series!

This is absolutely hilarious.

I wonder what you'll have to say about this when it's all over.
The question of Balrogs having wings is the most contentious of all Tolkien debates. I'm not even joking.
Of course the Balrog never flies except in Bakshi's version, so it's mostly a moot point, LOL.
Akari
Akari~n
Ahh, okay. It's a reference to her outline and her lack of presence. I actually remember that now.

Yeah, up until now I counted 1.
From Harry, the moment he shot Brandon. But I was expecting something similar would happen, just not in that way. You don't kill your best friend for life just coz he raised a gun at cha, and he even tossed it away.
Btw whats up with the sudden change of Harry's voice actor in the sub.
This is a good example of little details which separate a good adaptation from a poor one. Even if wings or design elements which resemble wings are part of the creatures design, not drawing any attention to the creature's ability of flight would not create a sense of confusion for the viewer. Here, he goes out of his way to not only have very obvious wings on the Balrog, but he also has the Balrog fly towards Gandalf (who is standing in the middle of a stone bridge telling it that it cannot pass), and instead of flying over Gandalf, it just lands and fights him instead. Seriously. Fucking awful.
It's a pretty bad movie. I recommend it if you're ever in the mood for Viking Boromir, men in short shorts, and Frodo/Sam shipping.
He was the only one of his bros left, LOL.
It's implied there's a few left hidden in the dark places of the earth, I think.
Yeah, but how would they know if he didn't fight Gandalf? The Balrog didn't even know Gandalf was sitting on his doorstep until Pippin dropped a rock on his head.

LAte on this but you should continue ..i stopped too and now i think that was one of the big mistakes i did ... I can tell you , if you pay attention , there is a moments where everything just make sense , and from there is just non stop goodness .. the show is weirdly introduced because it's a necessary evil ( such a complex universe ) but at episodes 4-5 it's a real "blast" ( no pun intended )
Horizon is good ..most of the explanations are done correctly so it's just a matter of listening for the viewer.
funny now that sdburton watches this , i recall my moment watching suite precure and trully something were really easy to guess and some were trully well hidden ( because they used so many "fakes" ) i can't wait to see how you'll react to some of the things this anime will throw at you

Ha, you reminded me of this:

And this critique of the movie:

Well I love Horizon, but the script is a mess... They're trying to fit 2100+ pages of book into 13 episode afterall. You can't understand shit without help from site like this.
The staff trying hard to make at the very least the content deliver the impact despite the circumstances, which why the show became hot seller because the novel reader applauding them on message board.
I watched half of it, derived enough enjoyment out of it, although the Miyu stuff pissed me off or was sick and wrong, can't remember.
hey guys, i've got an anime question and this looks it might be a good place to ask.
i want to buy some more anime, preferably on bluray. all i own right now is samurai champloo. i'd like it to be a complete series and not suck, particular genre doesn't really matter. also it cant cost 5 million dollars. any recommendations?

That whole post is stupid and I even forgot to add a subtitle to this posts title?
Damn.
Haha! I'm really getting a kick out of this show. They have some side characters that I would love to see as Precures, specifically
Waon
Suite Precure - 12
After seeing Hibiki's imagination I want
Waon to be a Precure so fucking bad! Please let this happen!
Oh and new finishing moves, woot!
There's no subtitle in your post's title. That's the most egregious thing you've done tonight.

Do you not know me?
Yes, you could really use some new material.
You've come to the right place! Do you have any genres in particular that you're interested in? Or can you list any other shows you've seen and liked? There's quite a few people here (if not all) that have an extensive list who can probably help you find what you're looking for.

Hidamari Sketch x Hoshimittsu 4
This episode did a good job of portraying through Nazuna that awkward feeling when everyone in the group you're with shares the same interests and knowledge except you.

Okay, the new music is starting to grow on me. Got the ending theme stuck in my head already.
Will see if I can squeeze in 16 at some point tonight.

This wasn't my favorite episode, but it was surprisingly good for an episode centered around Himawari and Sakurako, two characters I usually don't give much of a shit about. It's kind of confusing having them pretending to hate each other because they're both running for SC VP or something, but then have them really be friends, but I guess it's somewhat understandable.
At first, I was all like, "Chinatsu, how the fuck do you screw up a scarf so badly that the show's director deems it not fit for human eyes?" Then I remember I suck at sewing. One time I had a button fall off a pair of shorts, and I attempted to sew it back on. I sewed it in COMPLETELY the wrong place. It was way on the outside of the front, and almost against the top hem. If I attempted a scarf, it would probably be an affront to mankind that would look like some bedsheet that a dog pissed on and chewed the fuck out of. Though I suppose I could market it as avant garde fashion and make millions off it. In fact, that sounds like a great idea.
What was I talking about? Oh yeah, YuruYuri. Anyway, Akari should be more assertive, lest she be faced with another chocolate shortage at the candy store. Also, it seems like somebody likes Akari. Who is it? I don't know. This show also doesn't tend to follow subplots from episode to episode, so maybe I never will.

Ghost in the Shell 2.0 is pretty cheap on top of being an excellent movie. It's a good pickup if you're wanting to grow a collection.

This is a broad question, but here's some quality anime on Bluray I own and can recommend:
Baccano!
Bunny Drop
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos
Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Ouran High School Host Club
Spice and Wolf
Sword of the Stranger
If you only buy one, let it be Sword of the Stranger, a samurai action film whose art and animation are a beauty to behold.

Tolkien wasn't kidding when described them as an evil of the ancient world.

You don't turn your back to a wizard.
Good god, I don't think I could ever recommend the 2.0 "remaster" of Ghost in the Shell to anyone, even as a troll recommendation. Better of spending some more on the Japanese BD of the unmolested version instead.
I don't know better, but I was kind of expecting pizzaroll to yell at me.

I've heard bad things about the 2.0 version before, but hadn't actually seen it until your comment motivated me to look up a comparison of the opening. What is with all the added bloom? Not to mention the bizarre recoloring.
The 2.0 image on the right looks lifeless in comparison. Why would you do this?
Yes. Related to Sandy. Doubt it'll be up tonight.
