You're still playing this game? I'm surprised you're not dead from alcohol poisoning. Also nothing can ever be too moe.
Excel Saga 13-20
A block of episodes that begins with a recap and ends with a recap, but both of them get meta enough with the concept of recaps and are different enough in their content that sitting through both of them was worth the cost of admission... which for streaming is nothing, but let's not split hairs. The second Menchi episode was once again kinda heartwarming, and the Ropponmatsu saga was fine (especially when it resulted in enough stuff that pinged my yuri goggles), but episodes 17 and 18 were my favorite of the bunch.
17 for getting meta about the nature of animation itself, including the change to digital that was going on at the time. Excel's extended stay in "America" was also highly entertaining, including the Sailor Moon homage. Which is on my mind a lot lately, such as tonight and this Saturday. Everything went all Disney, too. And 18 was enjoyable because it's a toku homage. Not quite as good as the Rolling Bomber Special short, but I'd put it at about equal with Mitsudomoe's Gachiranger.
Oh, and the singing preview for episode 21 was great.
That's enough Excel for one day.
You should be careful not to consume that Excel Saga in a single dat, it's hazardous to one's health.
haly banned? show us mercy, tomat

Was a pretty decent shounen. manga went off the rails.

Diplomatic Immunity.
It's just been revoked.
Pretty good episode for the series to go out in. Tied most of the stuff together in a relatively satisfactory fashion. Tone felt lighter compared to the past couple of episodes despite a few rather serious moments. Really enjoyed the climax scene with ED playing over it, although the reused footage at the very end and playing the ED again hurt the high from the climax.
There wasn't as much action in this episode compared to the last but there was a really good cut in the middle.
What sort of name is this?

I wonder how much Sentai spends on each license.
ADV and Geneon died spending hundreds of thousands on each license.
From what I've heard, prices have fallen a lot since then. Back in those days some anime (including big properties like Fullmetal Alchemist) could cost up to $80K per episode to license. These days most anime are way under that, with some costing $1K or below per episode to bring over.
Edit: To get an idea, here's what a handful of ADV's licenses cost: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-01-30/adv-court-documents-reveal-amounts-paid-for-29-anime-titles
During the ANNCast, the Anime Sols dude hinted at the bargain bin prices for old licenses - implying it's why Gatchaman came out - so I have to imagine that the rights are similarly low for newer shows. Funimation is annoying coy (because they don't want to reveal their numbers to Sentai) and of course Sentai doesn't do any press whatsoever, so I suppose it's all speculation.

Someone should kickstart Hyouka.
Kadokawa also did some upscales for their previous SD shows with the OP/ED re-done. I'll provide two examples:
FMP: TSR OP/Ep2
Haruhi 2006 OP/Ep1
The FMP: TSR box came out while KyoAni were animating After Story, so it was produced in 720p. The Haruhi BD-Box was during KyoAni's shift to 1080p productions, so it was actually their first work mastered in 1080p. Its main episodes were upscaled by Q-TEC, as you can see with the blurry backgrounds compared to FMP:TSR's. Really a shame and I wonder if that'll be part of the " partly digital re-mastered" mentioned for the 2006 BD-box.

I wish! Maybe we'll see it at Anime Expo if we're lucky.
Will haly be back or is it perma?
Free to play as a model is pretty diverse. It's not exactly morally reprehensible in a way that warrants writing off everything that falls under the F2P umbrella. Lord management games are not really like RTS games at all either, where the tenants of multi-tasking and insular resource collection kind of reign supreme.My zero tolerance policy on all F2P games prevents me from dabbling more into these games then I did way back when I realized they were basically stripped down RTSes (I hate RTSes)
I wouldn't blame you if you fell asleep during the ANNcast, but Anime Sols has to charge more for that new detective show nobody wants because of higher licensing fees.During the ANNCast, the Anime Sols dude hinted at the bargain bin prices for old licenses - implying it's why Gatchaman came out - so I have to imagine that the rights are similarly low for newer shows.

I've been slowly watching through Space Battleship Yamamoto.
Feel free to touch Rin's abs.
And DTL, I found your dream room. It seems everyone wants to be one with that wall. XD

It's other-echelon good. I haven't run into an ep that wasn't an A yet. The hype in here while this show was airing must have been fuel for the soul.
Kyoani sure like making movies for their bomba (see: tamako market)
