Are you talking about Episode 10 of Mawaru Penguindrum and Episode 15 of Utena where Touga is alone listening to a record? I don't recall it played in any Sailor Moon episodes.
Icarus has already mentioned it but it also plays in the film Night on the Galactic Railraod. The girl they are with actually directly points it out and says the name of the piece. Yuriko Fuchizaki, who does the voice of Anthy in Utena is also in the film. At first I thought she maybe did the voice for the girl but Tadashi might actually be the young boy and Kaoru the girl. (I haven't actually read the book so it might directly say in there) It doesn't really sound anything like her that I'm used to but she did the voice of a young boy in episode 15 of Saint Seiya Omega and I didn't recognize her at all there either. It was only after going back and looking at the credits that I saw it was her. When she does the voice of a few characters in Sailor Moon though, you can easily tell it's her there.
Yeah, those are the two instances. Both exceptionally creepy, although perhaps I only find the Utena one so because I watched it after Penguindrum, heh.
Awesome special, and so glad it was 40 minutes worth! This takes place between Season 1 and 2 where
the gang have split in order to pursue what they felt was the right decision at the time
. With her two gal pals doing their own thing Madoka pays Kamogawa a visit to see some old friends. It wasn't long until we got some wanshipping to remind everyone of the dominating OTP of the show. There were some great moments aside from the ships, like Madoka'sgod-tierswag and some salt from the Three Stooges.
They also gave some time focusing on the second best OTP of the show,
giving us a look at how they're able to maintain their relationship regardless of the fighting going on between their brothers.
I really like Faye. She's got all these skills like escaping and flying a spacecraft, but then she does things like run out of fuel. Her "You have to be fucking kidding me" face when
she saw that the ship coming to pick her up was the Bebop
was priceless. I hope
Spike didn't actually kill her, but seeing her as much in the OP (possibly greatest OP ever, btw) and on the DVD case, I highly doubt he did.
Just one thing about 4,
that vial that Spike took from Faye and that crazy Space Warriors lady stole from him, did that have a strain of the monkeyfying virus in it? Cause her horror as the thing starting flying then breaking tells me that whatever it was, it was bad news. Whatevs. Bad shit happens to them, good, because they're fucking insane.
Also, Spike swallowing his cigarette was hardcore.
Watched it last night, so sorry that my opinions aren't so articulated.
Really suspenseful and such reminding me of earlier episodes. I kind of wish it was Satoru focused though, would kind of feel more appealing and romantic that way.
Though I guess Saki had to get some time to lead the way and such, dont know how she can fend off that Lion. She should have brought Satoru, Maria, and Momoru along.
They need to give Momoru more scenes, kind of feels like he is just permanently in the background.
Pretty good episode whenever Kirito was on the screen interacting with Imouto and answering questions and stuff
and so sad for her broken heart if only she that that is Kirito in game and such, however, I guess there is no win for her situation since both in game and out of game he is with Weaksuna.
World building with the school stuff was the part I enjoyed most, hope we get a school arc?
The rest was just plain awkward, I guess I somehow missed all the tentacle stuff that was discussed earlier this week here when the preview and such (looking back), and not that Im not used to it since Ive seen tons of good fanart of my favorite characters and even Kirito with it...but just Asuna and such was plain weird and awkward and kind of creepy, especially
when it even went into her dress, did not want to ever see that or even any tentacles with her
I love the grotesque architectural and artistic culture of the Empire. It breathes excess.
Some more Imperial political insights, as we see a disgruntled aristocrat try to take revenge for being wronged and shamed all those years ago.
Reinhard almost gets caught up accidentally, but his noble character, by taking care of the older woman, saves him.
Another great moment for Kircheis, who succesfully deduces the culprit. He's the smartest person in the main cast. His interactions with Reinhard are entertaining as always.
Hey animegaf, still need more impressions for the next OP. It's your chance to shine! Someone will finally read what you write without the need for provocative screenshots! I forgot to include a gif in this post so I hope it doesn't go completely ignored!
Just something concise and brief, along the lines of stuff duckroll and kayos have posted thus far. Posts about shows no one is talking about (but I'm sure someone out there has to be trucking through) like Seitokai no Ichizon would be doubly appreciated.
I don't really have anything but I guess you could always add something like this I suppose...

It wasn't all just a dream, it's here, it's really here!
Unfortunately most people reading this will have to wait for the home release to actually watch the film, but hey, you've already waited six years, what's a little longer right?

I'm going to clarify before I post my thoughts I've never seen the original Hellsing anime, nor have I read the manga. My limited knowledge of the franchise comes from comments I've heard online or the odd review or two of the series I've read. That being stated
Hellsing Ultimate 1
So let me get the obvious out of the way
Alucard is freaking awesome and steals the show every time he opens his mouth, Crispin Freeman is lights out with his performance. The other main characters (Integra, Seras, Anderson) also have great VA and unlike the clips of the original series I've seen the extras all sound the part too.
I was quiet surprised how Seras initial death and turn to become a vampire was depicted, I was expecting it to be more... accidental as opposed to Alucard just blowing her away. I'm not really sure where they plan to take her character either nor as she at all like I predicted she'd be. She's very accepting of her new master and even at this point in the series she's given into her own darkness and gone kill crazy on some ghouls.
Anderson is awesome and I really can't wait to see more of his battles with Alucard, sees like the perfect rivalry. I enjoy how complex Integra is as a character though I want to see how she developed from the scared little girl to the confident women she is currently.
Not much of the main plot was shown off as this episode was more of an introduction to the characters and boy did it leave me wanting more. The tease of
nazi vampires and The Major
at the end certainly didn't hurt either.
I own 1-8 on blu ray and am watching the dub in case you missed the Crispin Freeman comment earlier.
Well, what can I say, I enjoyed this quite a bit. The story doesn't really matter, you get the gist of it fairly easy, not like it's some terribly complicated stuff, what's relevant to this particular arc is easily understandable. I did miss out on a lot of the character relationships and the setting details because I didn't read the manga (or watch the original anime) but it's not like I care, really.
What does matter are the visuals, and they are simply stunning. Ryo-timo did the gorgeous character designs, so they look very similar to those in Birdy. Very expressive and they transfer wonderfully into animation.
The animation is spectacular, with fight scenes taking most of the runtime of the OVA, so if you like sakuga, you should definitely watch this. Ryo-timo was also the director and he did a great job for what I'm assuming is his directorial debut.
The film is based on the 2008 light novel of the same name by Romeo Tanaka (Humanity is Declining). The school romantic comedy revolves around Ichirō "Menzu" Satō, a high school freshman who forgets his textbook at school one day. Ichirō encounters a beautiful girl while sneaking back into his school in the dead of night. The girl calls herself a witch from a parallel world. Ichirō used to suffer delusions of grandeur like this, but vowed to stop so that he can successfully re-invent himself as a freshman in high school.
Also, here's apparently a rough translation of that speech from Kurisu in the Steins;Gate Fuka Ryōiki no Déjà vu PV, since it's mostly just a collection of scenes from the TV series otherwise:
Better translation posted on next page.
