I tend to think the novel gets the credit for that, but either way I agree that at least she isn't the typical magical animal girlfriend.icarus-daedelus said:

The wait is longer than Lawrence's wait for Holo to put out.
But for real... that anime about finances, money laundering, and the economical system based on trade and markets (and corruption and cheating the system.... and back stabbing, and trolling)... man. GIMMIE season 3 already! ;__; I wait so long...
Ao no Exorcist 2
Episode 2 was good. They streched out the manga material, but it wasn't really with filler. They just added bits of dialogue and action here and there. So far I still think it's better than the manga and I'm probably going to stick with the anime from here on out. I am really surprised how much I am liking this show so far. I haven't enjoyed a shounen action anime as much as this one in a long time.
Oh and they shouldn't have put part of the episode after the ED. I almost missed it and it was a pretty important scene. The next episode preview looks fun. Looks like they are going to Hogwarts.

I have to say I think Hanasaku Iroha is my favorite anime right now. I also like Ao no Exorcist.
I've always watched Shounen anime, and Iroha is kind of funny.

Revolutionary girl utena 24 - Another awesome recap episode, what i found interesting was in contrast to the last recap, this recapped all the off-the-wall comedic episodes, instead of all the srs business shit, plus the premise of the episode was awesome in itself.

With so many good shows this season, I doubt you're giving anything a fair chance. Your loss.

Wow I didn't know Funimation was subbing Tiger & Bunny already on their website. I tried to watch it with fansubs but the quality was terrible so I couldn't really even read the text. I'm surprised all of the sponsors were allowed to say, because I remember Code Geass being edited so the Pizza Hut logo was removed lol.

Oh god, yeah. It has a really uplifting score... too bad there isn't an OST for it.flawfuls said:
I still don't get why this movie seems to be locked up or "vaulted" or whatever. The usual places only seem to have DVD versions. :/

Finally had time in this lull of the releases to view TTGL, just up to ep 4. I saw it on peoples list as an anime "to watch," so I was like, its on netflix might as well. Fun! Though Viral's VA is underrated, cant believe he hasnt been a lead on any eng dub.

Why isn't there a denpa onna to seishun otoko thread? It is by far the best new show of the season.
In addition, dropped Deadman Wonderland because I can't stand Shiro's voice actor in this series. She was alright in Fractale, IS, and Freezing, but in this one it feels like she is just reading the script and relying on her "trained" abilities to get the salary money.

Hanasaku Iroha - by far my biggest and most pleasant surprise of this short season. The animation is really pretty and even though the show is very "teenage-angst" driven I really like what I've seen so far and am interested to see where it's going next. Ohana is very endearing!
Other than that one I'm still watching Gosick (which doesn't get enough credit as a great show, IMO) and Beelzebub which is usually good for a laugh or two even though it feels like the story has pretty much stalled out.

You'll need two viewings at least.
Possibly 3.
I can hit you up with a very useful elaborating article when you're done.

Mai Mai Miracle
Just finished it and wow that was absolutely amazing. Thanks for the recommendation firehawk12. The title makes it sound like some magical girl anime or something, but it's just about a girl from a small town in the 50's doing what little girls do. It is extremely well made, imaginative, touching and incredibly charming.
It is easily one of the best anime movies I have ever seen. It's sad and surprising that it is so niche because it's honestly Ghibli quality stuff. Everyone should go watch it if they haven't seen it.
The Hong Kong subs I saw for it are pretty awful though. Does anyone know if there are any better options?

Goddamnit, this show is just so funny. Great light absurdist humor. The bizarre positions for Mio to be in during that test was great, and the mohawk combover was fun times too. That last gag with the yuri-baiting made me double-take because it seemed vaguely possible for the show to just run with it and have various yuri gags with the dunce girl freaking out over it. But of course, that would have been dumb (though hilarious). They should keep up the yuri-bait jokes though. Of course it would me Mio joking, but the reactions to the stuff going on are priceless.

I definitely loved Gungrave, you forgot about the coolest name, Bloody Harry. I wish they would release it on bluray. I would buy it again.
Good news!Infernodash said:
Although I would keep that bookmarked and wait to see the quality of the upscale.

Officially, not that I know of. I first saw it in a theatre and that copy had a professional sub track (in so much they were allowed to credit themselves in the subs), but I presume that's a copy of the film that will never be released.flawfuls said:Mai Mai Miracle

Please watch it subbed, it's even more epic. I was gar for Kamina and I still have him in my top five of the coolest characters ever in anime. Though, Gattsu from Berserk, still resides at the top spot.

Oh wow, thanks for the heads up. I will definitely be purchasing it again on blu-ray. I remember going to animeondvd a lot until it was sold. I'll definitely bookmark it and keep an eye on the quality of the release.

Eh, I think JC Staff's late 90's/early 00's output is much better than a lot of the stuff they're doing now. I'm a huge Toradora! fan yes, but that's still only one series really.
Besides, that was more referencing the fact that I think there's no way the JC Staff of today even attempts to adapt something like Azumanga.
I still want the loli sage dangit!tiff said:
I finally took a break at about the halfway point of Konjiki no Gash and I'm surprised at how little storyline filler there has been so far. Other than the few episodes with the demonic mirror it's been chugging along pretty much exactly like the manga. The wacky enemies are always great, Victoreem going "Very Shit!" make me think of PSG for a bit. Only ~70 more episodes to go!
tiff said:
I'm so tempted to start this one... On one hand I'm a big Yui Haga fan.... for... uh, obvious reasons. On the other hand, I know there will be nothing redeeming about this show other than watching an adapted anime, and one that isn't quite as on edge as the manga.
Hmmmmmm
