Why isn't Google Translate automatically decoding the moon language.

Get the Rikaikun extension for chrome. Won't translate the sentence but it will tell you what the individual words mean.

I feel sad that we'll never experience the dark, grim story of Steins;Gate in its entirety.

Oh the fandisk? I forgot that existed. I kinda ignore any that don't have actual story importance.

Spoiler

I'll probably still buy it.

Maria Holic Alive 2: Boop. I think this is probably a case where I find the source material uninteresting/unfunny, because the show does nothing for me on any level. I also can't help but think how cheap it looks - the Shaft haters got me. I think, like Fractale, the Kobayashi X-factor isn't enough to get me to keep watching.

 

[hamchan]

but how will they ever capture the moment of running around a dungeon for 3 hours then getting killed losing all your progress!

You should move to the Omigawa Chiaki bandwagon. Plenty of room.

Ugh. You may as well hop on the Rie train at that point.

May Rie's beautiful voice reign upon us all~!

For a moment I thought Tanaka Rie and I was wondering what you had against Lacus.

 

[hellclerk]

There was definitely a resolution.

eh... let me rephrase. No closure. I suppose if you REALLY wanted to, you could call that ending a "resolution".

 

[firehawk12]

I have a visiting membership! I quite like the fake boy voice of the actress in Seikon no Breast Milk, so maybe I'll watch more of that instead.

 

[Branduil]

It was about as much closure as that situation could get. The girl had moved on a long time ago and was getting married, he decided to move on too.

 

[hellclerk]

Ugh. You may as well hop on the Rie train at that point.

I think obsessing over seiyus like this is moronic. I don't give a shit if Rie voices a trash can. If the writing's shit, there's not alot an actor to do. See: films involving Eddie Murphy. He's done some FANTASTIC parts in the past, but it doesn't help that the majority of his movies suck.

 

[Haly]

An anime is more than its story brah. Otherwise I'd compare everything I read to Hemingway (who I'm not too fond of actually)

Uhh... ok sure. So care to tell us what are the doomed1 approved(tm) reasons I should like anime?

Get him to put on the fat suit from Norbit or Nutty Professor and he can be your waifu

I think I see what you did there.

Who is Rie?

Kugimiya Rie of Shana fame.

Then again, you're not supposed to know who she is. Wouldn't want doomed1 to get on your ass about seiyuu worship.

 

[InfiniteNine]

I think he should go for the Nutty Professor one. More pounds to love.

Action, narrative, animation, characters, character dynamic, writer, animator, director... It's not really very limited... but if you're watching a show for the people voicing, that's more on the studio, the script, and the director than the actor or actress. For example, Jason Lee My Name Is Earl is great, but I won't ever touch any of the Alvan and the Chipmunks movies.

Go to hell. Eddie Murphy is my husbando.

Oh no, he's a great actor, he just ends up with a ton of shitty scripts.

Then you really don't love Jason Lee! I've watched everything he has been in and the man is fantastic.

Wait, no, VAs are srs business.

Fans will cut you if you slander their favorite seiyuus.

All these can be equally as hit and miss as voice actors/actors, plenty of good directors have put out some real stinkers and vice versa.

I mean, I can recognise certain seiyuus but beyond a small group of them I can't say that I really care about the whole thing.

Not slandering, just saying the cults that drive up around them are unnecessary. I actually really do enjoy Rie's work in Toradora! but that's because her script was that good. Shana was dumb fun, and I never saw ZnT (never interested me), but they weren't really that great of scripts, but the woman does good work with tsunderes, since that's what she's scripted. Forget the seiyu, let's rage on the studios for writing such inane tsunderes in the first place!

One of few roles she didn't user her Shana voice.

Sorry, guys. Norio Wakamoto is the correct answer.

So I got my Gundam Unicorn Blu-Ray yesterday.

I love when shows have the shot of a person falling through the atmosphere, and someone on Earth ( or random planet ) watching it fall thinking it's a shooting star. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside. Although I don't really know what's going on in the show because of the long intervals between each release, I wish they'd have some type of recap at the start. Animation was top notch though!

 

[Pachael]

Who cares about worst OP?

Only thing that matters is the best OP

Spoiler

Use your Madoka money and make season 4 PLEASE

They don't make seasons for title punnage, unfortunately. Kaizou OVAs coming soon is by the same author and studio, so look forward to it.

More HidaSketch is likely though. That could be retconned to a Madoka 'oh, a slice of life S2 would be nice'.

oh shiiiiii-

New Rurouni Kenshin anime is coming

The June issue of Shueisha's Jump Square magazine is announcing on Thursday that production on a new Rurouni Kenshin anime project has been green-lit. More information will be provided in future issues of Jump Square.

The magazine also noted that the Blu-ray Disc versions of the two Rurouni Kenshin original video anime (OVA) projects and the Rurouni Kenshin: Ishin Shishi no Chinkonka [Requiem] film will ship between August 24 and October 26. A compilation CD will ship on July 27. Rurouni Kenshin, Meiji Kenkaku Romantan Saisen, a new game for the Sony PSP system, already shipped last month.

also BD for Trust & Betrayal, no one cares about Reflections

[Rektash]

That's considered 'massive fanservice'? Maybe you haven't been exposed to a lot of anime by certain studios.

Aww come on, pulling this card, really? Despite my showing here I don't even care for fanservice in a alot of cases. It is more of an annoyance for me because I thought Iroka was to not going down that path. And yeah, I consider 16 year old bondaged girls as massive fan service, even though this scene was decently funny at least. As well as the visual depiction of a group of 3 underaged girls in a bath starting to get in the groove.

I've seen characters dress more revealingly then that bath scene. It was pretty tame.

Again, it is not necessarily how tame something is but rather that Iroka would be just fine without it. It is a good enough show to stand on its own feet without the need to appeal to the creepy audience.

@ new Kenshin
Well I am all for it, since the original anime had more than enough shortcomings.

 

[Lafiel]

BD for trust and betrayal? i want.

Definitely interested in that new kenshin anime project to, wonder if it's going be a adaptation of the Jinchū arc from the manga.

Again, it is not necessarily how tame something is but rather that Iroka would be just fine without it. It is a good enough show to stand on its own feet without the need to appeal to the creepy audience.

What if it was necessary to increase the sales of the show? would that be justified?

 

[Rektash]

Of course, they can do whatever they want to to increase their sales. It doesn't mean that I like it though .

 

[tiff]

Maybe it's because I'm me but I don't mind the show going into sexual humor every once in awhile. I thought it was kinda funny because it certainly didn't play out like I expected it to.

 

[RurouniZel]

Iroha 3. Okay, I think this episode just about ruined any hopes I had of a dramatic anime. Yuri fanservice here we come! >_<

Seriously, first the guy puts Iroha in rope bondage like an amateur. Okay, random, but whatever. But I threw up my hands and said "Bullshit!" when she glances at the book he drops and then starts instructing him! I kept thinking "No teenage girl, in those circumstances, would EVER react that way!" She'd have to be both into bondage and totally in love with the guy for it to be even remotely believable. And even THAT is doubtful.

On the other hand, nice to know there's slightly more to Nako than just being shy.

What would her bankai be?

[Haly]

Ohana is really more unbelievable than the spirit/ghost of a childhood friend who can interact with the material world. At least the latter can be a metaphor for schizophrenia. The former is just ludicrous!

finished watching Trapeze
really good show, but i was surprised they didn't go into any truely serious conditions
and as somebody who has been through more than these characters I was expecting more
