There's an anime about Finland?
tried to see if I still had that folder somewhere, can't find it
I'll be waiting for a re-post then, and we could call it 'the triumphant return of the great effortposts we know you can do'! ;-)

Yoko as an empress is great. Her speech was an extraordinary way to close off the animated series.

It's not very good. But for $1.50 do you even care? Watch for butts.

They should feel pretty good, since a large fry is more wholesome and filling than most anime.
I really liked Kimblees (Full Metal Alchemist) speeches about people who are consequent. This man was pretty evil, but he had his principles. While he showed no mercy for anybody, he was very respectful to the enemies who stood by their beliefs.
And of course a lot of speeches of Gurren Lagann, they were really rousing, I felt awesome after every single one. The "Listen up, Simon. Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! Believe in the Kamina who believes in you!" kind of speeches. I think Gurren Lagann gave me something like a human supremacy complex.
And this is a scene (Spoiler warning: Black Lagoon, seconds season, english dub) I love. But Balalaika and other characters of Black Lagoon have many interesting speeches.

Need to catch up
Seeing how much Shugo has grown not only as a bone fighter but as a person both in combat and through the eyes of his friends and family really worked. Like digimon this could have been a quick advertising cash in show, but truly has become something enjoyable all on its own.

All the characters were well fleshed out in my opinion and did a pretty good job of actually having a part in the overall story and theme of the show.

Nice pick-ups, there! Madoka looks fantastic in HD. Probably one of Shaft's best looking shows.
Great Figmas, too! I'd love to track down one of those Konata cosplaying as Haruhi ones sometime. I just have the regular winter uniform Figmas for Konata and Tsukasa.

Will probably show Madoka to some friends and check out the dub soon.
Getting some winter uniform Lucky Star figures soon as well.
They got 2 pre-owned ones at amiami if you really want a Konata cosplaying as Haruhi one.
I might end up picking up one from there eventually. AmiAmi's preowned section is great, I've gotten some good deals from there.
No Game No Life 6
That was fun! It looked like a more developed duel than the one in the first tome of Sandman. I thought it was a pretty solid building for it, but I need to rewatch the final move
The series is heavy in fanservice (?) and I think it´s a testament of how solid the writing is that I can still take it seriously while doing stuff like "half-naked dog girl", "angel moaning" and so. I just feel it´s a bit unnecessary (or too extreme for its own good at least). Fortunately, I don't mind it or let it distract me from the good stuff.

I don't understand why it was important that Jibril used the word on the paper, after all, Sora had already written the word he needed at the reverse

NGNL joins other shows such as Yozakura Quartet in the "was that really necessary?" group of anime where fan service was not needed and is actually a detriment to what could be a better show without it.
Love Live S2 (END)
So... They
Really, the best way I can sum up this season for this show is.... "what a waste". Love Live was a show that did well when it sat on it's own. In many ways, this second season was completely unnecessary. A lot of unnecessary drama, an overall predictable plot, and for what? Just money, pretty much.
I liked the first season. This one, not at all. Such a shame.

won Love Live... off-screen. Wow.

Interestingly enough I was annoyed by the fanservice in Yozakuta Quartet, but not in NGNL. I think it just fitted better with them being NEETs in contrast to the randomness of the fanservice in Yozakura Quartet.

Very nice! This looks like something I would order heh. I'm jealous you Europeans get complete series in one box. How much was Madoka for the whole series?

£20.67. Got it from an UK online shop.

For a second I thought that censored thing was something entirely different.
My understanding is that
Sora couldn't have written another word in time in response to what Jibril said. So if she had picked a word other than the one he wrote on the paper (one that ended on a different letter), he wouldn't be able to reply in time, and would lose the match. By writing that word and showing it to her earlier, he set her up to make to make the same final move later.

Boo, Aniplex US sucks. It would cost me >$150 CAD to get the whole series.
It's probably cheaper for me to import the UK box. I wonder if my PS3 can play it.Hawt.

That's a good point, but I feel the one for NGNL is more "extreme", a bit too much for its own sake. Totally agree that it has more "purpose" than the randomness of "look, panty shoot!" from Quartet.

Whenever I hear the term weeaboo I think of anime ghosts.

I think you'll need a region-free Blu-Ray player to play UK Blu-Rays, not certain if they'll work on a PS3. A region-free player might be worth it if you plan on importing lots of anime from the UK, as they have certain titles we don't (Perfect Blue, for example).
I think the limited edition Madoka sets are all sold out by now, and I can't exactly recommend the standard editions. Still, I'm very happy with the limited sets that Aniplex put out; nice boxes, cases, artbook with interviews, etc. At the same time though, I bought them not just to rewatch, but to display. I guess I'm a bit different in that regard.

Nope. It's region locked. Need a region free or EU device. PS3 is not region free for movies.

It's not even close to being worthy.
Well I took my time with it (I usually read on the bus to and from work and 50% of the time I sleep) but I finally finished all the Haruhi light novels.
I can understand why some people were semi disappointed with Endless Eight eating up a chunk of series 2 (only semi though because you can't be that mad at the greatest achievement in anime history) as some of the stories available at the time could have been nice to see animated but man, by the end of all these stories one does feel like little progress has been made in the overall storyline.

It's basically GoHands tier. It just looks like someone dumped a painters palette randomly over everything in the series. It's clearly intentional, but it just doesn't look very good, there's something about it that's too digital, too sterile, too false.

No, that's not why people were watching it. People were watching it because it was bonkers.

If everything crazy was good then that hobo on the street who swears 9/11 killed JFK would have his own show.
Welcome to another episode of Ass Rash Pete. In today's episode our guest star is a soiled diaper who will tell us about his brand new book "Shit Happens". Stick around I might eat later.

It wasn't just an auto generated spam message of nonsense though. It actually had a recognisable form, shape, and even structure it's just that each subsequence addition to that well known structure, each twist and turn, took the show in completely unexpected and bizarre places. That's entertaining.
