Baccano

FLCL

It's the greatest anime ever made, so you should probably get around to that at some point.

What is Wantanabe? also what are the ones you said about?

Cowboy bebop is about space cowboys that ride around in space doing cool cowboy stuff

Samurai Champloo is about samurais that walk around on the ground doing cool samurai stuff

Both have incredibly high production values, and direction.

Wantanabe is the acclaimed director behind both.


Baccano is an awesome story set on a train.
 
Still blows my mind when I find people who haven't heard of Cowboy Bebop. Then I realize it been ten years since it first aired on Adult Swim and feel old.

I'm not sure that's a good thing. Have you seen Talking Head? It's real Oshii talking to himself for 90 minutes and then hiring actors to repeat everything so he can pretend it's a real movie. It's excruciating.

But at least we got Angel's Egg and UY2 out of the deal before he went completely mad.

Real Oshii is an anime director. Real-stupid Oshii is a weak old film director.

Anohana's premise is, admittedly, horribly silly, but what they've done with it hasn't been the worst--at all. Quite the opposite. The show has been incredibly impressive in using facial expressions, gestures, and voice to portray the sides of characters that they didn't have screentime to. And yes, you could chalk that lack of time up to them wasting a good bit of it with their lack of a solid direction, and I'd agree with you. By no means am I saying the show is a masterpiece, I'm saying it's been, and will still be at close, solid.

Menma=Romance, which will all get resolved by time the show ends. There won't be any plot holes, and it's not going to be a trainwreck most want to make it out to be.

And yeah, the show won't have given every character time to fully flourish(a fault), but the ones that have, have done so pretty nicely. Anaru has become an interesting self-aware idiot, and Yukiatsu an amazingly creepy asshole.

Tiger and Bunny 12

The first half of the episode had some pacing issues, but other then that it was a great episode. Jake looks ridiculously strong and I wonder what plan Barnaby has for him. I have a feeling he won't fight the remaining 3 heroes after him.

It's probably grown in to my favourite show of the season. I really anticipate each episode now.

More people should give it a go.

Cardcaptor Sakura 8:

HOORAY FOR NEKOMIMI :3

The line-bleeding was really evident when Sakura shows Tomoyo her drawing of the sculpture back in episode 7, I honestly don't notice it really at all when I'm looking at scenes where lines are splitting colors as opposed to merely black lines on white backgrounds.

The "Leave it to Kero-chan" segments seem mainly dedicated to fetishizing Sakura's various costumes. I'm not sure how I feel about that, she's supposed to be in elementary school.

Oh, and A NEW CHALLENGER HAS ARRIVED! It's about time Sakura got her annoying rival to annoy her in annoying ways! How annoying!

At least Sakura will have more interesting conversations from this point forward now that Shaoran has arrived to annoy her!

Oh yeah i forgot, next week we should be getting a new opening! (hopefully).

Why would there be a new opening with ep13, if it is 26 episodes?

Lulz, I was just trying to be hopeful that we'd go away from the first OP sooner, but i guess looking at other shows with two cours, we should get the new OP around episode 14 then?

If they actually bother with a new OP, sure.
 
Lotte's Toy - 11

Well damn, if this show didn't have a loli succubus, a pantyless loli, and a rabbit loli thrown in for good measure this would have been a somewhat touching episode.

and LOL at the very end. ABF is going to have a field day with this.

If the show didn't have lolis, nobody would be watching it though!

I think I get what they were trying to go for with this episode but it just wasn't executed all that well. Ohana's little ramblings came off as weird and awkward more often than not and I'm not sure if it was done that way on purpose.

The Ko stuff is moving too slow for my liking and the Tohana stuff is also starting to rub me the wrong way with the way Minko is dealing with the situation. It's starting to feel like something they're deliberatly trying to draw out as long as possible in order to fill those episodes.

I also didn't like the fact that Tohru encourages teenage girls to engage in bulimia. All in all, I don't think I liked this episode very much.

Cardcaptor Sakura 9:

In this episode we discover that Shaoran is totally gay for Sakura's favorite bishie crush. So he's not just her rival in capturing cards, he's also her romantic rival! Somehow, that just sounds even more wrong than usual, and that's a pretty high hurdle to clear in a show where everybody's got a weird fucked-up crush.

We also learn that Rika is totally Kodomo no Jikan for her homeroom teacher.

It's not clear exactly if Sakura's Onii-chan is a siscon, but his bishie best friend constantly makes fun of him about it and he doesn't seem all that anxious to deny it.

The weird fucked-up sexual angles that all the characters are massively endowed with are really quite remarkable. I love how this is a children's show in Japan, there is no way this shit would fly in any other country being shown to 10-year olds.
 
Maybe I should get started on CCS sooner rather than later if I don't want Unknown to end up spoiling everything for me.
 
Yes Trejo, please. If only to remind us that not everyone is like Unkown.

I've been operating under the impression that all you people have seen it before and I'm the only one watching this for the first time. I can start spoiler-tagging everything if you want.

Cardcaptor Sakura 10:

Okay, so let me get this straight.

Sakura's dad was a first-year teacher who met Sakura's mom in the high school class he was teaching. He married her when she was only 16. Tomoyo's mom is Sakura's mom's cousin. So that means that Tomoyo is totally lesbian-crushing on her cousin?

This shit gets better and better every episode. I'd like to personally thank CLAMP for whatever the hell it is that I'm thanking CLAMP for, because right now my brain is full of fuck and I can't be certain as to what I should be thanking CLAMP for even though I feel the need to thank them.

Is everything they make this incredibly normal? I guess I shouldn't have to ask that question, I'll just go read the entry about CLAMP on Wikipedia later!

I think I like this tag too much. The mod who gave me it will probably change it soon to punish me for liking my tag. ;_;

I was just messing with you. I know of the show's colorful relationships already, even if I haven't seen all of it.

But you do tend to throw the occasional umarked spoiler from time to time though I'm sure it's not on purpose.
