I wanted
Mai to take it a bit further before she dropped the act. I was on the edge of my seat during that skit.
Which is precisely why I haven't warmed to her, although I like Mai because of her trollish tendencies. Figures!
I actually watched Buta and Wasurenagumo as soon as they came out but I got around to watching these two now.
As far as rankings, I know I liked Buta the least (still good), followed by Dudu The Floatie (very good), and as far as the other two, I can't decide, I'd probably have to give Wasurenagumo another watch, but for now let's say I liked it and Minding My Own Business about equally, both were great.
I still think Kizuna Ichigeki and Ojisan no Lamp are better than all four of these 2011 shorts though.

That whole scene was amazing! I was ever hopeful. :3

Ha! Age and execution definitely aids there. The silent expectations of a four-eyed high school girl that's always a step ahead works in a fashion easier to like than a young genius who's simply a rascal. Though the novelty of the character type alone makes me enjoy their presence (both of them, but speaking on Hakase here). There are not enough young girl brats in anime (like Hakase)! Her actions mark a traditional definition for the label, but the attitude is absent in young girls I see in all types from the medium. I guess either I'm looking in the wrong places or they are present, but lack a notable personality.
Before someone mentions Rebecca in Pani Poni Dash!, I only got through one episode of that show.
Thanks for the quick response. It passed my mind that I have seen Wasurenagumo (I simply remember it as "The

On the blue corner :
Arrived as a cliffanger last episode ..this new character task is to make things intresting ... she has a special skill : "cry" that can win the heart of almost everyone..her devious charms have already conquered the hearts of the other maidens !! Trully a formidable opponent!
Here comes the new challenger .. A loli , somehow smart , can do chores and is the MC fiance !!
On the red corner:
The sister !! Lots of imagination , denial and passion !
Introduced since the first episode this character didn't manage to get to her goal , thanks to the devious plan the other female prepared .. will this new fight be the signal to her doom ? we'll find out !

Oh our 2 characters reached a deadlock and now turn to the MC .. what will happen ? can we resist all this suspense !?
Surprising !!
Who will he choose ?
And thus
our MC sister-zoned both .!!!! what a unsurprising turn of events .. but both girls now in the same emotional pace join forces !!! What a twist !! i guess it's time for swimsuits , now then !
Goddamn, how many anime titles are out there that sound conspicuously like porno?
Is it porno?
Yeah. Sometimes I'm not sure what is closer to the truth with Hideaki Anno speaking! One time he mentions that Kaworu was like an experiment to make someone closer to a perfect but oblivious man that came out more creepy than they thought he would be, and another time Mr. Anno says he drew inspiration from Nagisa Ōshima in more than his very name, apparently (still untranslated full reference):
[EVA]kaworu named after nagisa oshima?

As in other projects, this creations are chaotic amalgamations made from idea sources sometimes of unpredictable origin for everyone involved (and much more unpredictable is for the audience)!
More than theory, that is the fundamental basis for the subsequent film after the 'Instrumentality' perspective of the series, the objective for which they did THE END OF EVANGELION in the first place... as it was explained, man!
Yep. You can answer everything with "it was Quantum Magic™, yeah"... and lets see who is willing to rebut it!
Those background sets look nice, and how are layered and add depth to punctual scenes seem all wonderfully made, in my opinion. Cool!
I like it. Maybe the biggest offender here is that tracing work...

UVERworld doing the theme?
Bleach always comes to mind after reading that band's name.
Ouran High School is really good. Angelic Layer is good too, better than the manga. Mars Daybreak you'll like if you have a thing for old school Sunrise mecha anime, unique setting and mech + fun cast, I personally really like it. Hiwou Senki has some interesting/fun stuff, and has the novelty of being the first full show the studio ever did, but it isn't outstanding or anything.Oh yeah, the Skull Man is awesome.
I plan to watch every BONES show I missed in the next few weeks, so I got Angelic Layer, Heroman (lol), Hiwou War Chronicles, Mars Daybreak, Ouran High School Host Club and No.6. And yeah, I plan on watching them all.
What do I watch first?
Heroman is the beginning of the descent into the abyss tho

Well they do a theme for the tv anime of blue exorcist too (core pride), but D-technolife still the best bleach op.
firehawk12
Subete no aware
To be fair, UVERworld also sang the first OP for the Blue Exorcist TV series, so it's not unsurprising that they do the OP for the film. But whenever I think of UVERworld I think of D-Tecnolife as well - and I don't think I actually watched Bleach by the time that was used as the OP.
UVERworld have done pretty well for themselves, given how many other "anime" artists have crashed and burned since. UVERworld are linked in my head to Hitomi Takahashi - they both did themes for Blood+, both did OPs for Terra E, both did Gundam themes etc. But whereas Hitomi Takahashi has disappeared from the industry it seems, UVERworld's albums top the charts and they're in regular demand.
(I wanted to use this post as an excuse to link to Takahashi's JET BOY JET GIRL, but I can't find any videos of it on Youtube. So have a link to UVERworld's Blood+ OP instead, which is a sakuga otaku favourite, although my preferred OP from that show has always been OP2)
A spoiler warning on the character death would have been nice, i'm still running through it and hadn't reached that point and to have it in all caps even
Oh damn man, I'm really sorry. It totally slipped my mind. I'm really, really sorry about that. Spoiling something for someone else is the worst. I'm sorry about that, man.
Oh yeah, the Skull Man is awesome.

Why do you hate yourself, son?
Their Blood+ OP was pretty good, not to mention the OP sequence itself was fantastic
Is the term "anime artist" legit though? Ive wondered the how and why bands are chosen to do anime songs. Given that Aniplex pretty much has the monopoly on that stuff now, isn't it just a case of Sony finding bands from its catalog that it wants to pimp and give more exposure to? I wonder how often the anime staff themselves have a say in it.

Fucking hilarious.
Ha! It has one in here, that should tell you all you need to know!

Was probably flagged by a fellow animegaffer.
Thanks for the reply, I'll probably watch them in that order, but I might throw in Heroman somewhere in the beginning of the marathon, just to get it out of the way.
I expect some decent sakuga out of it, at least.
I don't, I just love BONES,
which many of you nowadays consider to be the same thing as hating myself lol
Durandal was the only good thing about Shinn's side in Destiny.
Was it? I thought it was Creuset. lol.
Collusion!
I don't remember Creuset being in Destiny. Hmmmm. I dunno, it's been YEARS since I watched it. I'll get to it again in the near future, though. Oh and I
actually thought Meer's death was one of the best parts of the show. It was pretty well done, I thought.

Hmmm... maybe you both reported him at the same time without knowing it, huh? Very suspicious...
The Wii U launch sounds like the most fucked up thing ever lol.
Speaking of which, what was the deal with that guy who apparently hacked Miiverse by accident? I read part of the thread but still have little idea of what happened. Still hilarious though.

This isn't a particularly well constructed argument but I feel that it successfully explains the crux of my response: Shinji is a teenager.
Because certainly there's someone out there besides yourself that have their eyes set on the name 'kayos90'. :lol
