Well, at least now that it's finally come to posting Linkin Park videos in the anime thread I can assume there's nowhere to go but up. Right?
Animu-gaf is always ready to hit new lows. :3

How did you both miss that gif during the focus on Glass Fleet earlier in the thread?
Also, is this seriously a line from that series?

Ooh, if we're just going to spam AMVs here's another one by Nostromo:
Galaxy Bounce
Probably the best AMV set to techno music from a Christian DJ you'll hear all day.
Also everyone should watch Pale Cocoon; it's by the same guy who made Time of Eve.

Incidentally, Studio4C did the Breaking the Habit video too.

I wonder what we would get were they to take something on for a season. They almost seem to be piece-work exclusive, unfortunately.

Btw, Articalys, get an avy, man. I always find myself unintentionally glossing over your posts.

Okay, okay, fine! I was going to wait a bit longer, but I guess I might as well get it over with.

It's even a bit relevant since I was channel-surfing earlier today and came across Gurren Lagann ep. 25 on SyFy.

I've seen last episode of Yumekui Merry. It wrapped everything very nicely. There’s awful lot of questions that weren't answered, but that's the nature of adapting on-going manga. I especially liked how in the end winning took combined effort of pretty much everyone included as well as huge sacrifices instead of some random power-up typical for the genre. This way I didn't feel cheated :).

The animation was a little off. Not the actual frames, but I felt like in some places there was a second or two of footage missing. But I don't care much about that, the design quality remained very high (changes of drawings to ugly bother me always much more than drops in animation quality).

Anyway, I really enjoyed this series. When I saw the promos I thought I wouldn't like it, but I was wrong. It kept it's focus tight and made my sympathize with characters. I'm also big on world building and that element was excellent in Yumekui Merry - full of details, without holes, complex and with ability to rapidly expand without seeming forces. And all that was coupled with pretty visuals and wonderful soundtrack,

JC Staff made plenty of shows of this type, but this one is by the best one. Hopefully there will be S2.

They're doing the new Thundercats.

I don't whether I should be interested, or upset. I've always thought that the Thundercats was the goofiest looking shit ever.

Looks good to me.

Anything + Requiem for a dream=success of epic proportions. It could be a kid on a trike and I guarantee you it would look like he was the most badass motherfucker ever.
Requiem is so played out, tho. Everyone knows Death is the Road to Awe is the new hotness.

You don't like AMVs?

The sooner there's acceptance that animu-gaf is a bottomless pit and not a barrel, the better.

The joke at the end killed me. I was just thinking what the
God of Sex
said earlier when taken out of context would imply. At least they blew through that plot hole. As to what kind of series this is, there's no way this isn't a comedy unless I have a crude sense of humor.

Also, I have a terrible habit of typecasting, but still, it's funny how the capturing God is now a 30 year old virgin.

It's like every post you make reveals more ignorance and gets me closer to the ignore button.

Saw a little bit of 'Softenni' in my attempt to at least try everything, and it is 'Aim for the Ace' with all the perviness of Kanokon/Lades vs Butlers.

That's horrible company. I remember hearing how many eyebrows that series raised. Is it that bad?

Well, I mentioned those two specifically since it's animated by the same company and shares the same basic character design style. I didn't watch it with any translation so I don't know if the writing is amazing or anything (and I was skipping through it anyway), but the animation did look kind of cheap.

It has inconsistent censoring too. Panty shots everywhere, but one scene they show them in the underwear and another they cover it up. Maybe if it's too close they decide to cover it. I dunno. I skimmed through it in under 7 minutes. It just made me want to pull out Ace wo Nerae though, that was supposed to be my big 'watch it Raw' project years ago.

Card Captor Sakura Episode 01:
Pretty wonderful! I couldn't get over how cute she was acting the whole time with her "Hoeee~" and fights with her brother. I remember this part from the Americian version pretty well where she opens the book and makes all the cards burst into all sorts of directions then meeting Kero. I didn't remember him sleeping on the job though so that was pretty funny. After going off to capture the newly arrived Flying card, she proves her bad ass skating skills doing a wall ride and jumping onto the back of the Flying summon. She totally brings him down and captures him like a boss using the Windy card for her first successful capture! I see getting wrapped around using her newly captured summon is breaking her protests for becoming a Card Captor down pretty quick which is pretty adorable~! Overall cute and entertaining!

the anime humor is more noticable than ever D:

leave the comedy to western animators

A terrible moe anime. If your strongest moe character is a clumsier Tsukasa, you'll have definite problems. Doesn't help she's also voiced by the same VA who did Tsukasa's in Lucky Star. This series feels like a worse version of Lucky Star actually, minus Konata and the otaku humor among other flaws.

Oh okay. That's better than an actual comparison to Ladies versus Butlers then.

If there's a visible crease, it's censored now. That's my assumption anyway.

Kaiji and Hyouge Mono are the only anime listed I don't think I'd be disgusted with myself for watching

As far as normalfriends are concerned, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Tiger and Bunny.
