I've seen at least 300 head tilts in this trailer. Wtf is the problem with Shaft?
Despite that... I have mixed reactions... Dunno if this is really necessary.

Like blaming GAINAX for GAINAX bouncing.
Well, that looks like more Madoka I guess. Seems a shame that they have to basically reset the ending of the show so that
there can be more witches and so that Madoka can come back and be part of the storyline. Presumably that means her contract with Kyubei is void?

well, I don't know. There is enough story to tell,
everything before Sayaka's death (final timeline) is unknown.
Madoka ended pretty nice. That's what I call milking a series.
But I'll see it anyway in the end. sigh
Where's the sense of adventure?!
This is really cute.
That line sums up the entire show.
I really miss pencil board pack-ins. A lot of anime used to come with them. I have a bunch of them. Whatever happened to putting these in with animu collections?
Is there a single scene where Yayoi isn't completely adorable?
EXCELLENT. This show got a 10 for me and it absolutely deserves it. Not just for being cute but for being the complete package an anime should be. Far beyond what you'd expect from a mahou shoujo.
Don't. This isn't a troll recommendation. This is legitimately enjoyable, great anime.
One of my all time favorites and it was highly regarded even by skeptics.
You must really love me

True, he'd be more true to the character that way. Then again they did
kill Tails
I shall enjoy your impressions. Please, keep them coming!

Oh dayumn. Looks cool.
I really gotta go back and re-watch that show. Keeping up with it on a week to week basis up till the tsunami was intense.
Dat Kyouko amazing head tilt.

I think it's a bit early to call it a reset.
It seems like it's just going to show the final timeline and then continue from where the show left off.
"Hitomi sure has her hands full, huh?" Besides, Mado is saving herself for Homu.
If your definition of adventure is filling in review scores for anime shows then I suggest you never write a story.
Otherwise you'll end up with a terrible shounen about someone's mission to review every anime in existence where storylines include the day he could not give an anime a score of five because all the 5 keys on keyboards have been stolen. Even unicode was futile because the code is alt+0035!

The only resemblance Gia has to Sonic is that both go fast and have blue hair. Sonic wouldn't have acted like an oblivious haremshit protagonist in front of Opa; he would have rolled around at the speed of sound cause he's got places to go and has to follow his rainbow.
Just like any yandere character man.
Maedhros is so moe~

Still crap.
And dropped.
Preview for episode 4 was even worse than the painful episode itself.

Problem? I'm not sure I understand.
I've only watched the first episode and I already know it's a painful experience, but I feel like I need to watch episose 2 to see how terrible the girl is in comparison to the guy.
Then I'll drop it.

Maybe they're using the Sonic from 2006 as a reference point? A bad idea to be sure...

The title is literally the best part about it. Once you've read the title, you've experienced the best this show has to offer.
I don't think they are using any of the games as reference points. I'd consider ourselves lucky if they even looked at the cover art and read the opening blurb on Wikipedia.
It is, but instead of that making it awesome, it becomes a show that is so insipid it makes Accel World look like a masterpiece.

Point taken. I'm usually too quick to give the benefit of the doubt.
I hated SAO so I definitely wasn't going to like Btooom. I think its the fact that the game involves just using bombs and I detest games like that, on top of there already being several virtual game animes already. Just tired of the genre this season.
Yeah, it's overused, three seasons in a row with this theme.
Impressions of stuff:
Jojo 3
This is how you cut costs while still making great anime. Great voice acting, and the drama hits when it needs to. I think all the garish palette swapping achieves that effect pretty nicely, actually.
Too bad about the censorship.
I always believed in you, DavidPro.
Shin Sekai Yori 4
This episode was really fantastic. Considering that half the episode was expository, I thought it was handled really well. They managed to condense a lot of stuff into something fairly compact and interesting, while capturing the reactions of the children nicely. And the violent climax at the end was pretty breathtaking.
Normally I don't like when stuff gets over-explained, but I don't see how that was the case here. Almost everything that was said was something the characters wanted to know, and that information directly drives the plot. Without more specific context, the audience would be left confused in exchange for saving a few minutes. I don't think that's worthwhile.
Now, if it goes much deeper into the lore beyond this, I'll probably feel like I'm learning too much, but I really like the show as it is now, and I'm looking forward to more.
Robotics;Notes 2
I knew that Kaito was a prick from the visual novel demo (which might cover up to episode 4, at the rate they're going), but man, he's a total asshole. If Akiho had any other friends, I'd be baffled as to why she hung out with him. As is, I'm still not sure how she tolerates him.
I mean, he does a few things for her this episode, but he spends most of his time sitting on his ass schooling scrubs in a video game while his supposed friend works herself to exhaustion. He won't get off his butt for five minutes to look for something when asked, because he seems to lack basic empathy. He doesn't put a cent of his money on the line to preserve the one thing that Akiho actually cares about, even though she lets him use her club room and puts up with his bullshit constantly.
I get that this is meant to be a starting point for Kaito to develop into a decent human being, but there are some goddamned limits to how much of a jerk someone can be without being completely ostracized.

No, he fucking isn't. What the fuck.

So finally fixed the Madoka trailer. A bit higher quality than the previously posted one although at an angle.

True! The first I saw, from which this one linked was duplicated, didn't last long:
Twitter / cowboybibimbop: Madoka☆Magica Movie III: ...
http://twitter.com/cowboybibimbop/status/260106729868632064
Now, that's better... thank you!
Yes! YES! More adepts to Mr. Itagaki's cause.
No CGI model here... that's already a plus comparatively speaking!
Magi - 03
The low budget talk had me worried that the episode might look ugly, but it didn't, it wasn't quite on the level of the first episode but it still looked better than most shows out there. The sword fight could have been a bit longer, but if they're saving some budget for the Balbadd arc I totally understand it because there are some amazing fights in it.
The episode still felt rushed, but not as much as the first two, which is good, the next arc is pretty important so hopefully they do it justice, but I can't wait for them to start the Balbadd arc.

That promotional image is official and was added some time ago to the webpage about the project on Zag Inc., site (http://www.zagtoon.com/?p=shows&s=ladybug). It is in English because they have been promoting it as an exportable franchise since they've started trying to sell it at international fairs dedicated to this type of contents businesses (remember the post I wrote some time ago on this matter, http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=42505901&postcount=15152).
Another thing to comment would be the more recently added "& CGI SERIES" part of the title's description, along with another image to the gallery... have the plans to make this series an accompaniment to the 3DCGI feature film (that has been in the works more time than this) changed? Are they gonna mix footage from the two? Are they referring to the franchise in general on that description with two different series planned? Now it makes it sound more cryptic!

Subete no aware
The OP seems to be a legacy of the old series. And yeah, that thing fucks shit up. You'll see them deal with the consequences of that fairly soon actually.
Well, that's because it's fake lesbians in Rinne. lol
