older anime dont seem to support widescreen hd with blu ray
kind of disappointing
Well, you can't be disappointed that a format doesn't support something it wasn't originally created it.

I'm pretty sure luka ordered it after I put up the amazon.co.jp listing. I was willing to buy it but unexpected problems always kill these things for me.

Lain's still got a devout following. There's no other show like it, and there never will be.
Even worse! That means they can charge whatever they want.

It means "I feel sick/disgusted".
Just imagine you are sleeping in your bed and a stranger sneaks into your room. He can rape you anytime as you are asleep but he doesn't. Instead, he masturbates looking at you, when you wake up and know what he did to you. What do you think you would say?

the new movies are great though and i have somewhat high hopes for a better ending
Bad taste alert!

Wandering Son 2
For some reason, I stopped watching after the first episode and didn't pick it back up. The first episode floored me with how impressive it was put together, and the second episode was no exception. The characters feel so organic and lovingly put together, and the pacing keeps me constantly leaning forward into the narrative. It's brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Card Captor Sakura Episode 04:
Poor Sakura stuck at home doing chores when she could be out playing with Tomoyo. She'd be pretty lucky finding them Clow cards in her room if they didn't go nuts and mess up the house after she cleaned already. Didn't know how they where going to get away from Wood but Tomoyo pops by and saves the day! More costumes and cameras ahoy! Pretty easy capture overall and now Sakura has the awesome power of Rain and Wood. Hurrah!

Nah, you guys just don't get excited enough. Y'all are just bitter folks, sort of like war-weary vets.

Somehow I get the feeling that Uchip is some mod playing an overlong April Fool's joke on Animu-Gaf.
Why would any mod bother when there's no way they could outclass the crazyness that goes on in this thread naturally.

Speaking of bad taste, I thought that I'd look up the ANN votes for Glass Fleet.

If that were so you would be reprimanded for not using capital letters and punctuation.

My my where to start.

Main tiny flat chested small person Tooru is basically Konata except she's a lesbian not an otaku.

Main bimbo Run, is basically Yui except 100x STUPIDER, how is this possible!?

Then you have girl with glasses who worries about getting fat (Azumanga Diaoh, Yomi), and the other one is a tall big boobed person who little flat chested Kona-- Tooru is jealous of. (Azumanga, Sakaki and Chiyo pairing).

And the same jokes were repeated at least 3 times in the whole episode, infact they were the only jokes reppeated throughout the whole episode, why did I bother watching this when I knew full well from the cover alone and from the first 5 seconds that this would be a poor man's Lucky Star/K-ON, well I've watched said shows all the way through call it retribution for my sins.

Also I find some irony in the fact that a self-proclaimed unapologetic lolicon like I9 hasn't actually seen CCS yet. Go figure I guess.
I'm convinced this is the greatest anime of all time now. OF ALL TIME!

Oh well, at least it looks like there's Sky Nazis. The art design also isn't exactly what I was hoping either. The old one had this sweet Victorian utilitariansim. This is kinda lost some of that...
Is there a difference betwixt Sky Nazis and traditional Nazis? Like, philosophically? I'd always wondered.

Man, what the fuck is with this season. X-men, Hanasaku Iroha, Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera. That's 3 shows so far which cover completely different sorts of art style, genre, and appeal, and they're ALL good shows so far. What is happening?! noitaminA hasn't even STARTED, and there are still shows which have not aired yet! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I'm going to have to ignore your posts when you get past me. :<

It's so good I'm averaging 1 episode per day or at least that's the plan.

Not really. They're Nazis. In the sky. Kinda like Space Nazis, they're Nazis too. But from space.

Not to mention Kaiji. This seasons feels ridiculous, but watching all the training projects has probably artificially heightened that sense.

Kaiji is a second season to an existing show by the same team. And it's an adaptation. I don't think it really counts since it is basically what everyone expects it to be.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
It doesn't stop the pain of being Meguca fan, nothing does. Except sweet sweet Maison Ikkoku.

I certainly expected it go be good, but I've also had that expectation of other things which turned into disappointments with great haste.

Oh, and I liked Tiger and Bunny as well.

There's no way that all these currently airing shows will continue to be good (including those that haven't aired). There has to be some quality drop off somewhere.

2nd seasons can still suck because it doesn't meet those expectations.

A shame Darker than Black didn't have a 2nd season.

I'm not saying it's not. I'm just saying, it's surprising how the NEW series this season are actually good!
