What are these?

According to Wikipedia one is called Valentine Days and the other Magical Heart Kokoro-chan. Guess I too will have to check them out to close this sad chapter in my life.

Damn your link.
Valentine Days was sorta meh, Magical Heart Kokoro-chan delivered though.

 

[Canis lupus]

Now that I got over with School Days, I should probably watch good anime again. I'm thinking of Magical Girl Madoka.

Comedy chapter in the franchise was a bad move.

 

[Uchip]

I think you've just retroactively ruined Princess Tutu for me.

then my job here is done

 

[Risette]

I think in my head I'm treating those parts as words on a script. That is, to me they are equivalent to an omniscient narrator giving out random information about the world in a novel or short story. But sure, they're not exposition - they're visual infodumps.

please stop

Ixion Saga DT 03:

Wow, the protagonist continues to prove that he is GAF-Man. Being a dick about other peoples' choices of pet and using cold darwinist rhetoric to justify not helping an animal in need? Sounds about right.

Unfortunately, this episode had a lot of something that I really hate: seiyuu making animal noises but making no attempt not to sound like a human just reading animal onomatopoeia off of a script. It's always shitty.

Revolutionary Girl Wakaba 20

Poor Wakaba

Girl you know it won't work out with men, just go after Utena.

Utena wants the meganneko though.

School Days


Why does this exist.

It's a cautionary tale.

 

[Canis lupus]

It's a cautionary tale.

I just watched some funny Nichijou moments to cheer myself up. Glad I did, I was so depressed.

Eternal Girl Utena 22

About time we got some backstory on what's going on. I'm getting excited for the next episodes now!

Nah, that's gonna have to wait another twelve episodes.

No thanks!

This show ;~;

I want to understaaaaand.

So, that Eva horse reminded me of something that I hadn't thought about since around the beginning of the year, namely that there was supposed to be some kind of moe horse-racing ONA in the Winter '12 season called My Sweet Umadonna: I'll Be Your Horse. Does anyone know if this ever came out? I haven't seen a single reference to it anywhere since the Winter '12 Anime |OT| so I presumed it was canned, but perhaps it just went completely unnoticed by everyone.

fake edit: Apparently the OP is on youtube so it actually exists in some form.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Revolutionary Girl Utena 24

I can't say I'm surprised

Spoiler

Tsuwabuki

is messed up. It's just not normal behavior.

I think you should play closer attention to the other characters' behaviours here. Tsuwabuki is just kininarimasu, as any healthy kid his age would be.

 

[Narag]

I assumed the girls were the horses when I first clicked that.

It wasn't an ONA; it was a browser visual novel with Production I.G. providing an animated opening sequence.

You can find it here. There were some English impressions of it on Crunchyroll.

I am kind of interested in the subject matter but that title...

In case you haven't noticed, I am not an expert on the subject of 'human beings'.

That's okay, 2D drawings are not people. And I'm also just an AI.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

But apparently not too complicated to cover a thousand years of history in a few minutes. I mean, can you have it both ways? It's both complicated, but also shallow. I dunno, maybe I just do have a cynical view of science fiction because of how disappointing it has become over the last decade or so.

So, I think it was The Last Samurai or Pearl Harbor that opened with some text scroll that explained how the West was treating Japan in order to provide context for the movie (it was probably Pearl Harbor, since it was about the blockades and the forced isolation, now that I think about it). To me, that's basically what those opening segments are like. I don't think they necessarily detract or add anything qualitatively, but it's still extra contextual information being given to the audience that is divorced from the main part of the show.

I don't see it as shallow, and I definitely don't agree with your comparison in the second paragraph, but I think we'll ultimately have to agree to disagree here.

Ah, didn't realize. I suppose that it must have been placed in the OP in error unless we were more broad with what constituted a new animated production back then. Mystery solved!

 

[Geneijin]

Speaking of which, any more news on Ladybug?

OniAi 03

The lunch scene made the entire episode.

 

[spyhunterzero]

Man you guys works fast hahaha

O_O icecream!!!

 

[Emitan]

Of course you would watch that.

idk, SD ain't that different from LOGH

 

[spyhunterzero]

Watch more anime.

I ain't got time. I barely watched the first Ep of Psycho-Pass. Still need to watch Ep. 2

 

[Emitan]

If you can only watch one anime this season make it My Little Monster or Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shita!

 

[Chet Rippo]

Great, you got my hopes up for nothing. Thanks a lot.

Total radio silence for now, but at least the internet is already hard at work churning out bad-to-middling fanart for the series.

This also may or may not be a (lol westernized) piece official art for the series, however a.) I found it on some Italian-language anime forums so I can't determine its origins and b.) it would certainly be odd for the tagline to be English-language if Japan and France/Benelux are the earliest markets in which the show is currently slated to air.

Oh what the...what happened to your avy???

 

[Emitan]

In terms of what? Because in my opinion LoGH is at the exact opposite end of the spectrum.

 

[Chet Rippo]

But he already said he's watching PP. That would make it 2 shows then.
Though that doesn't get him out of watching K-ON!

 

[Emitan]

So obviously he needs to drop PP.

 

[Taruranto]

Watch more anime.

But that will turn him into a pedophile!

 

[spyhunterzero]

Hitokage

It's definitely.......something

 

[Chet Rippo]

He watched all of Upotte. That's all that needs to be said.

 

[Emitan]

It's definitely.......something

And by something you mean totally cute?

 

[Instro]

It's definitely.......something

I'm sure Hito would be happy to give you something similar.

 

[Canis lupus]

Ah i'm glad I watched Nichijou scenes like this, now I can sleep with a smile and forget about SD.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Ah i'm glad I watched Nichijou scenes like this, now I can sleep with a smile and forget about SD.

Attempting to cope with the events of School Days will only ingrain it deeper into your mind.

 

[Syrinx]

Ah i'm glad I watched Nichijou scenes like this, now I can sleep with a smile and forget about SD.

Ahahaha, like you're ever going to forget about School Days.

Edit: Also, what Ultimadrago said.

 

[spyhunterzero]

He watched all of Upotte. That's all that needs to be said.

You tricked me. You know if I watch something I can't stop till I finish it.

And by something you mean totally cute?

uhhh...sure. Though i still don't have the word to describe it hahaha.

 

[Emitan]

You tricked me. You know if I watch something I can't stop till I finish it.

Really?

 

[chickdigger802]

Well... both animes have shit go down.

which is quite rare in most animes imo.

 

[wonzo]

I can understand for things like movies because it’s intended for deaf people but for anime that gets released over in the west, I don’t understand why the subs look so bad. Thats one of the reasons why I like fansubs.

You hear that folks, subs just don't look good unless they're placed at the bottom of the screen with some crappy font, bad graphics overlaying signs and shitty karaoke for the OP and ED.
