Aw that was a pretty touching and emotional episode and even more for incorporating the character, Totsuka. I had additional attachment to him because he was also extensively featured in the K ~Memory of Red~ manga so the events this episode were even more impactful. Being voice by Yuki Kaiji was even better and we even got to hear him sing which was lovely (good voice).
Everything is coming along nicely and headed in a great direction. Kuro seems committed to staying by Isana's side as they work through this thing and they finally crossed from just blushing to handholding. With seven more episodes what more.
I like the soundtrack v1 (and the character cd), the song Yata Misaki, has such interesting lyrics.

I guess it is not just memory loss, maybe he had completely rewrote his memory with whatever his power is. Or either Neko is doing something to the whole thing. It was just odd to think that we saw Isana interacting with Kukiri and the other students just a few episodes ago and the second they leave the presence, everyone has even forgot. Unless their memory was also altered? Very odd.
Anyway, I laughed at the scratch the feet scene, the skateboard scene, and then the death scene, poor Yata

Elaborate setups for killing people always amuses me. Where are the laser sharks at?
On one hand I agree that it does seem to a classic villain to execute a person in an extremely elaborate manner, but then again elaborate cruelty was practiced on a grand scale by the Romans, among other peoples.

I refuse to listen to this song because there's no way that the actual music can measure up to these beautiful lyrics.
You made the right choice.

[Nadia:The Secret of Blue Water] - 2
I'll write some real impressions later, but I just want to take a quick swipe at Nadia's character because it's such a low-hanging fruit. Jean, a 14 year old boy, has apparently invented:
- A hydrofoil boat with a separating aft
- A flashlight powered by a hand-crank
- An escalator
- Working aeroplane
Nadia is generally rightfully impressed by his technical skill, but complains when they breakdown. Hey, they're just early versions, there's no need to be so harsh about everything. What has she ever invented?
I still find it bizarre that in terms of popularity she was basically the Saber or Asuna of her day, with her character constantly topping NewType polls and managing to maintain the spot of 6th most popular female for the entirety of the 90's. I haven't even gotten to her preachy vegetarian regime either! Otaku have weird taste in females.

She certainly wasnt my favorite 90's anime girl.
Misato will always be #1 in my heart. she is the supreme waifu.
Nadia's design > Misato, though.

I'm not surprised to see that you're in her camp.
No, it involves pooping.
I think he means the little story Mr. Sadamoto did for a number of the CHOSEN AME (朝鮮飴
'dōjin' circle... and it involves a constipated Nadia due to her faulty vegetarian diet habit.And I see now that pizzaroll said it already!
Anyway, I'll add a link to it, is included at the end of the following batch of images, contributions of GAiNAXers... be advised; the following link leads to slightly explicit content... careful!

While Nadia certainly has a strong Ghibli feel throughout, there a point in the show where Anno makes it absolutely clear that he's been the director.
Then he leaves.
It's definitely a fascinating mixture at times, especially when you can feel Anno's unique style shine through the Ghibli trappings. I feel that it works better at sometimes than others. Of course, the part where he departed from the stage really didn't work at all.
Now that's better!
I wish I still had my Nadia DVDs. What the fuck happened to them?
Either way, one of the most memorable shows I watched in my childhood and will always have a place as one of my favorite shows ever.
It and Kare Kano are probably the two best Gainax TV format animation works, which is funny since they both share the Anno leaves at some point syndrome.

I don't see it as leaving, because he was actually working on the "return" episodes while leveraged his own team and left the rest to Mr. Higuchi and the overseas production... this actually bought him time for the spectacular final!
Magi - 06
Hey, hey, this episode looked gorgeous. The art was detailed and expressive, there was clearly some budget involved this time. I love the art style of Magi, with its soft edges, it's really unique. The animation was really good too, with a nicely animated battle. I would've preferred they did that with the last episode, but I guess they wanted to give Mor a proper introduction.
I wasn't a huge fan of Morgiana's "arc" originally, so I'm glad they devoted a single episode to it, and since the execution was so great I enjoyed it much more than in the manga.
Next week the shit hits the fan and the real Magi finally starts. I can't wait, holy shit.

I completely forgot the details, but thanks for the refresher!
Love the show so much, I also own these:
The box is the complete recordings, all of the shows OST, and the book has a collection of AMAZING key frame illustrations.
Ill probably eventually drop the $600 on the Blu-Ray box at some point I guess, lol
Cool! And yeah, GAiNAX's 'Groundwork' books are all neat.
That exchange rate nowadays seems to me so outraging... :-(Ill probably eventually drop the $600 on the Blu-Ray box at some point I guess, lol

Do you solely judge a design based on breast size?
Because Nadia really is one of the best. Definitely my favorite in the 90s.

Not entirely, but they do heavily sway my vote.
That said, I've only seen one episode of Nadia. Probably why Boney doesn't talk to me much anymore...

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun 07
Another very solid adaptation of not one but two chapters from the manga. Once again, it is always the little stuff like the addition of the movement of the characters, their reaction faces, their imagination that makes it just so much better.
Very nice use of music for Class Rep's little piece in the anime as well. She is being a much stronger candidate in this love triangle than in the manga for sure.

Hey! TRIGGER Inc., ended up posting their usual weekly update (apart from one link to an even more recent interview with Shūhei Handa; http://animemirai.jp/news.php?p=83):
I was too optimistic expecting a promotional video so soon...
... keep going, good guys! You can do it!

Yeah no. She's freaking terrible. The sooner this horrible triangle ends the better.
Last thing I want is for that shit to drag out and sink the entire show. Kind of like what happened with Natsuyuki Rendezvous.
Seitokai Yakuindomo: Episodes 2-3
Hidamari Sketch: Episodes 1-3
Almost every page or so of these threads involves some screencarp/gif of Hidamari, and it always looks so intriguing. So I finally pulled the trigger, as Seitokai Yakuindomo gets stale after watching more than 2 episodes in a row.
Hidamari turned out to be exactly as I thought, Shaft doing what they do best but with a slice of life. They continue to make shows that are fascinating to look at with the insertion of real life things into the animated world and the seamless transition to normalface to wideface.
The wideface has absorbed me. Yuno is the cutest.
Perverts. Everyone in this show is a pervert.

Class rep's whole love triangle business is much better than the other love triangle this show is going to shower you with.
Jex

I don't think that's really defending your original point anymore!

Probably.
Though, my original point was that the anime is doing a better job with her love triangle than the manga is, so who knows anymore!

So the manga sucks?
Good! All more the reason for me to stick with the anime. Hopefully the anime keeps it up even if the manga sucks.
I love it when a plan comes together.

It has gotten better once they finally moved away from the second love triangle, even though it took a while to do so.

I am not sure how many episodes this is gonna have but I think I will marathon them in the same way once it is done.

* Oshima already in bro tier. Third best female character
* Natsume's antics are still awesome. Second best female character
* I'm impressed that Haru's complete lack of social grace still manages to be hilarious. They totally nailed his character imo.
* This episode was so shoujo, but in a good way.
*
Basically, show still owns, best of season, etc etc.

I'm guessing we're going to be getting some Yamaken triangle action going soon. Not sure how I feel about that, but it seems inevitable so let's see what happens.
