That show was terrible. Only good part was that one scene where the two girls kiss. Oh and fighting with a motorcycle, that was awesome.

Dat awkwardness...
Dat awkwardness...
Okay, so Kyoko writes this manga about this witch girl and her rival. She is the one who writes it, right? I remember her telling her about her embarrassment at asking for a ticket to the movie for this same thing in an earlier episode. So... did I just get that part wrong? Is Kyoko actually writing a manga that already has a movie behind it? Or does she just write fan-fiction for it and sell it, which I'm fairly sure is illegal?
Speaking of this manga, my favorite scene in the show so far was probably with that little girl spotting Yui as "Rivalun" (She's the protagonist's rival, so her name is Rivalun! F. Scott Fitzgerald would be proud). Her mother tells her not to bother her further, as Rivalun is busy trying to take over the world. "You can do it, Rivalun". Not gonna lie, I genuinely laughed at this part. I, too, little girl, support Rivalun's endeavor to take over the world and make into an oppressive, Orwellian hellscape.
One last question about this manga: when Kyoko was talking to that fangirl about that scene, where the protagonist and Rivalun go bowling with that ball dude... that was referring to some action scene where they were rolling him back and forth at each other until one of them was defeated and not something where they're fighting for the fate of the world but they took a day off to go bowling together... right? I know that this probably isn't explicitly shown or discussed, but it can't possibly be the latter... right?
Then, there's that scene near the end where Chinatsu wants to practice kissing with Akari. For her future kiss with Yui. I guess I was wrong in my earlier analysis about Chinatsu's feelings about Yui. Anyway, Akari doesn't want to do it. and she runs around the house yelling. Chinatsu catches her and kisses her. Predictably, Kyoko and Yui walk in at this time, and there's a long, awkward pause. Frankly, I'm surprised Kyoko didn't fly off the handle, considering how she feels. Anyway, Chinatsu runs after them trying to tell them it's a misunderstanding, and Akari is laying on the floor, with a tear in her eye and a smile.
One last thing I should say is that Chitose's nosebleed fantasies are getting really old. At least include different people if only to change it up a little.

Looks like Hidetsugu Ito also did that totally boss fight in the rain at the start of Sword in the Stranger. Approved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2o-WmYAsFA&feature=related
The amount of detail he puts into his scenes is pretty damn impressive.

I forgot how insane that fight was.
She basically writes doujins. I don't think it's illegal to sell doujins based on pre-existing works, that seems to be the core business of all those comicons even.

Kyoko makes fanfiction manga. Magical Witch Mirakurun is an actual franchise, which is why there was a movie for it. As such, don't think too hard about why anything happens in her fanfiction stories.
So, basically, that witch girl (I forget her name) is an existing property, and she writes doujin for it? Hmm. I would think selling this sort of thing would be illegal. But I'm no expert, so what do I know?
Edit: I think Kagami's got me covered.

Hidetsugu Ito has a really good grasp on weight and physics in general. Was the Innocence ragdoll shootout in the MAD?

Can we count the 35mm film stock scanning of Neon Genesis Evangelion's opening & ending, along with all the other optimal digital transfer material they have and are sitting on it right now? :-(

You. Me. Outside. Right now.
They had 4K scanners back then?
Wasn't Renewal done in HD (1080p) back then like most transfers? Possibly 1080i
Or did they do a new transfer
I kind of enjoyed it when she showed her "other" side. It was glorious.
Probably so. when I attempted to start it I was extremely tired so it wasn't given a fair shot.
I never had a problem with Hix. His screenshots were a bit off kilter, but the whole reaction to it seemed REALLY silly. I have never before seen someone criticized just for the way they view something, except maybe someone playing an HD game in SD format in the gaming section.
Buriki is way better than Tony Taka at least.

I like this show. Everyone is psychotic. I also love the ugly man faces that all the NPC type characters have.
Miles better. I'm not a huge Taka fan, but... there are a couple of images of his that are still like... damn, for obvious reasons of course.

Not enough blushing.
So set up episode I guess. Hopefully the fight will be good.

Yeah, I think I jumped the gun and assumed it was a 'Telecine' scan made at that resolution that is concurrent now and pretty habitual for 35mm film, and the 2007 version of the DVD-BOX apparently used the same transfer. I didn't remember the specifics it was made back then, sorry!
All of these GIFs are kinda scary....

I find it amusing you used the exact same pics I was going to post, but didn't because I was jumping into the realm of image spam.
So many moments damnit!

Oh lord, it seems our protagonist is actually a schizophrenic and switches between "I don't wanna kill" wuss to some Light esque "I'm too brilliant at BTOOM for my own good" *facepalm*

And so we spend the whole episode reminiscing about a festival, hopefully skateboard guy gets his ass whooped, I actually like seeing that.

Don't piss off Koko, cos that makes her loco and we don't like her when she's loco. D:
Blasty Tempest - 04
A bit of backstory, a walk in shower scene and some pillow talk, yeah sounds about right.
Yeah, he couldn't be shot until the helmet was damaged. There's an exploitable flaw in the system we'll see later on, I figure, which will tie into Shogo Maskishima like the that intro implied. I'm curious to see if he's a legit psychopath so his stress levels don't set off the system or if that gift of narrative line in his desc implies he's able to convince others to act on crimes in his stead so he'd be untouchable with the current system
I'm eager to see the Ginoza/Mazaoka backstory too.
Wouldn't doubt if it ended up a case where they once worked together, Mazaoka was flagged and Ginoza was tasked to him down inadvertently causing his faith in the system to waver.
but what do i know
Oh god, how much???

I don't want black bars on my TV! I paid full price for my TV so I expect it to use all of the screen!

Yup. Hidetsugu seems pretty boss all over - detail, weight, physics, flow - what more do you need?
Whoa.

What? Yata Misaki is like the best character in homra, and appears to be the most popular character. I like his cool skate skills, personality, and attacks.

That thread still brings a tear to my eye.
Did you miss the HiroxSae?
The placement of it was hilarious. SHAFT is getting too good at this.

Shaft can do anything.
Best studio.
It's even worse when they're indignant about it when you try to lead them on the right path.
except good scheduling
Try having a 16:10 monitor

You are correct sir.
AW isn't really a quality show and its about as badly written as SAO is but its a lot more fun.

I got so excited when Ryo got that hit and the musical score picked up. :lol
I do appreciate how episode 13 was a more comedic opening to the game whereas 14 closed it out with a much more appropriate tone even though thee lightning ball is a bit fantastical. Then again, I did accept the whole wave motion swing thing.

Heh, Yamazaki ranting.
But, besides that wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Really expected Shougo to get all S on us, but nope.
