Crest of the Stars 9
I feel like the episode preview from last week was a better depiction of the events shown than the full thing.
That sounds too harsh, and maybe it is, because there were important bits of context. Lafiel's first moments on an actual planet made for meaningful character building, and the last scene with the ambassadors and the Empress was good for showing the Abh's cool confidence. But the whole sequence with the shuttle escaping the blockading ships felt like a tension-free waste of time that took up half the episode.
I feel like they have to be sticking very close to the book being adapted, but I wish they edited stuff like that down considerably. Action without stakes or the possibility of danger is just filler.

I have no clue what to do with all the DVDs I have. I could only imagine your collection that includes all those big bundles Bandai used to do
I'm saving Anime in the North America.

This show is basically perfect. Goddamn. The music. The characters. The pacing. Even the animation and art has its charm. And the last (and final) episode should be glorious.

I may be influenced by the Doujinshi, but I think she is very sympathic. She didn't do much until now, except sleeping and eating, but when she does something she is pretty earnest and straightforward. I like that.

La corda doro -Blue Sky- Episode 10
Good episode leading into the climax. Kind of felt that some of it could have had more music.

If it was really inspired by 24 they should have cast Rikiya Koyama as a counter-terrorism agent.It is. It's inspired by 24 and Sherlock. Oh wait, I guess it isn't!
Maybe this is proof that Watanabe watches stuff subbed, not dubbed!

Omg don't remind of 24....such disappointment. About the anime I just wasn't expecting that supernatural twist, didn't get that vibe from the trailer iirc.
The slice of life genre should just be scrapped.
That's not a genre.
What supernatural twist?
The reality in this show is clearly going to be very "heightened" (as anything where two high-school kids in Japan execute a sophisticated terrorist attack would be), but I didn't get any sense that supernatural stuff was at work.

Maybe I'm interpreting things incorrectly.
So its two kids executing terrorist attacks under the name of Sphinx.

They are two people who have no real identities, infiltrating society under assumed names. Sphinx is the name of the terrorist unit they're operating.

I think I don't like you.
Also Miki is like 15. There's a lot of underage girls in 765 Productions.
Yeah there are quite a few artboxes from the early years.

Makoto is the best. Youre not wrong!

This is correct.
Sad that we don't seem to get along.
Hentai Doujinshi are fictional work that I am reading for enjoyment, like manga or novels. While quite a few works are savage and crude there are quite a few interesting, funny or plain cute doujinshi that explore their own characters or reinterprete the ones from existing shows.
Way more than the brainless western porn that at most have a setting, most douinshi have an actual story. And some of them are really engaging even without the sexual act. Others are playing with the medium and are simply funny or weirdly funny. And some are plain stupid but have a interesting artstyle.
I think it isn't that different weither I am reading Black Lagoon where fictional people, even children, get shot and killed or a doujinshi where a fictional young adult gets porked. Both are works of fiction and as long as one has the grip on what is real and what's not, that should be alright, aye?
edit:
maybe I shouln't wrote this post. Half of anime gaf probably think that I am disgusting while the other halfs still laughs because I can't get beyond the panda.

YESSSSSSSSSSS. Pretty awesome cover. One of the best shows of 2013.
Good taste!

Black Rock shooter Tv : Blade & Soul edition
This week in black rock shooter Tv , we have :
-The Mc with dead eyes
-The antagonist with dead eyes
-The antagonist being dead and then brought back to life "because"
-Some stupid sub plot no one cares as of why the antagonist should be important.... But it's not fun to watch.
-Re-used FRAMES
-GOT SO BAD REUSED FRAMES
-REUSED FRAMES FROM old episodes that are NOT synched to the voices
-A bit too much of :wonzo ( example below )
-A better stealth mode than ezio auditore and the roman benches
-A very badly animated fight ( you feel that they meant well , but they just don't have enough money to animate that )
-Some stupid girl talk powered by plot devices of all kinds
-dead people ( i've lost count since the start of this anime )
-"Oh shit we don't have time and the show is almost over......."
-the most pooorly ANIMATED FIRE you HAVE EVER SEEEEEN
^^ i'm serious, that fire was made in MS PAINT^^
So why am i watching this again ?

-The revelation, if the show needed to tell you after all the mess that everyone went throught that revenge is hollow... That doesn't prevent everyone from taking revenge when they can , ( even the no -names characters agrees )
WTF

This was the look on my face upon seeing the amount of world building in this ep that attempted to legitimize the concept of the show. It was impressive a full ten minutes of airtime was devoted to discussion of what a post-war economy would be like if/when the Neuroi were defeated. In particular, the textile industry was highlighted when a brash plan was put forth to help reinvigorate the industry should it fall into a slump after the war. The plan, you ask? Attempting to provide a product to half the global population that had long been unserved by this industry by increasing the production of pants for this demographic. That's right, pants for women.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Top three bad idols yeah.
Kudos for still watching this show, lol
It's incredibly sad to see GONZO reduced to this. NCSoft must be pretty furious at the poor quality of the show too.

Haha, the pig scene was a great opener, and damm
It seems like things are really going to pick up now.

The animation is something else, but not off putting. Great Op really like it reminds me of GTO's. Also The hell is up with the Ota guys hair? Pretty weird. Smile and Peco really balance each other out. I think I'm really going to like this show.

If you want to see what i meant by "bad fire" i made a gif
And then i realised that my gif was better animated than in the actual show ... dammit
i should start making webm so you can have the sound and realise how "off" it is.

GONZO's been doing a pretty shit job with their shows lately but from what I've seen of Blade&Soul, it just looks straight up broken.

I'm not sure where this is going because everyone in the show wears pants!

If I were a fan artist, I'd be evil and always draw them in full length pants.

Full length as in lowlegs? How arousing.
They'd have very handsome ankles.

Even after all these years this show holds up really well both visually and narratively. Some episodes look sort of bad. The faces in particular. Still, I'm surprised at how good this show looks. It's just a blend of awesome action and really good drama. The kids still fucking suck. The music is also a huge highlight. Forgot how great the OST is.

I guess I should at least humor you with the only witch who wears "pants".
Clearly you on the left.
