Lol'd out loud when Kira started crying in the Strike's cockpit and they show the Gundam in the same position like it's also crying.

Shinryaku!! Ika Musume OVA 02

A squid girl paradise, a motherly advice and a rocket to space.

Puchimas!! 60

How to catch a puchimas and an idol.

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 08-09

Not enough onii-sama~

But still pretty enjoyable adaptation.

Atelier Escha & Logy 09

Oh hey, suddenly this show remembers it had a god damn plot from its source material. And characters that played an active role in the source material.

No Game No Life 10

Suddenly I thought they were going to play Akiba's Trip.

Not more or less weird, but certainly more non sequituir. It was certainly on the strange end of Yuasa's style. I could see a kid who tunes in every week watching that and just going "Huh..?".

Went two whole episodes without a cry! What is going on????? Oh he cried in the next one, we're back to normal.

Interesting that Kira and Cagalli are siblings. Wonder when they'll find out. Pretty brutal when Nichol dies. Blood flooding the helmet.

It's not really an issue of effort, so I didn't get a
"shonen heart" vibe.
Peco's love of the sport is what propels him, but that's never been all he operated on. Motivation and where it comes from was a huge factor inside of the episode. Peco is the one player who has it all in the show: drive, talent, aptitude, athleticism, and a love for what he does.

I thought the episode did a great job of conveying Peco's power through the vibrancy of his movements, where speed seems to stretch his entire body and he's capable of jumping around all over the screen in quick spurts to this really energetic music.

What episode is that one scene in the bath of Mahouka where Miyuki insists that she doesn't care for Onii-sama as a love interest. I need to win a bet.

Both Noitamina show about to reach it's climax. This season is definitely one of the better noitamina season.

Yes, lol. It comes out the day before episode 1 airs. July 9.

I'm guessing, however, it won't have the OP/ED on - or at least they will be TV size only - as not only are they comparatively high profile tie-ups but one of the singles isn't even being released until September.

Soundtracks generally never have full OP/EDs on them though. :p

This is a recent thing. They used to be included!

I decided to check if this is true based on a sample of my collection, and it's not really that recent a thing!

Noir (2001) - Full OP/ED included
RahXephon (2002) - Full OP/ED included
Wolf's Rain (2003) - Full OP/ED included
Scrapped Princess (2003) - TV-size OP/ED only
Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) - TV-size OP/ED only
Eureka 7 (2005) - TV-size OP/EDs only

Looks like it's been the case for over 10 years now!

At this point it should be clear how much I have is from the 90's and early 2000's. :/

So, out of curiosity, I wondered if there might be a connection between the trend of omitting full OP/ED themes from soundtracks and say... the rise of a certain anime production company.

And Wikipedia says...

Originally known as Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) Visual Works Inc., it was established on September 1995 as a joint-venture between Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment Japan, and changed its name in January, 2001 to Sony Music Entertainment (SME) Visual Works Inc. after becoming a subsidiary completely owned by Sony Music Entertainment Japan. In April 2003, it changed its name to Aniplex Inc.

I was going to comment that the three titles you mentioned with full OPs included were released on Victor/Flying Dog, whereas the others were Starchild and... Aniplex.

Aniplex titles tend to use higher profile artists (well, a little higher profile anyway) than most others which could partly explain it. Given that there is a vague possibility of some mainstream sales success for an artist like the lead singer of Galileo Galilei, or Flumpool, or any of the other Sony Music bands, I suppose they don't want to cannibalise single sales - particularly in this instance, where the album is coming out so early.

Checked my music library and a bunch of 2004 stuff still has full OP/ED included, but after 2005 they are not.

Older stuff has singles, but they weren't mutually exclusive with inclusion on an OST. Interestingly, though, Lain had full OP/ED on the single only in 1998.

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.

I'm not mad of you because of the doujins. I'm mad because of your poor taste in waifus.

Strike Witches 4

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.

I think profile certainly matters for Aniplex, but it is as you said, the rise of Aniplex and their involvement with Sony Music is the real factor here. They make a lot of money from the music sales and promotion, so they in turn put a lot of effort in selling the OP/ED and not to cannibalise sales of their disks. The choice of artists and the use of more high profile songs is also an effect of that to an extent.
