That's rough. I hope he works things out.
I think we all do.
Always good to see people not hating Sword Art Online, there's way too little of that around these parts.
I just hope your positivity lasts to the end, since you haven't reached some of the things people complain most vocally about yet XD
More or less.

Solid? The art style is nice but it's very average in everything else. I'm just bored with the show. It's as old school Shonen with still shots and long discussions about what is happening and what they'll do. It's literally like reading a manga. I don't care for any of the characters aside of old JoJo. Hopefully things pick up but that short clip of the OVA people showed me was better than anything this show has offered so far.

If only there were more like Yamada and the seven witches.
It's okay not to be particularly enamoured of Stardust Crusaders at this point, the early fights are pretty simplistic and I've always felt Part 3's cast of protagonists is one of the weakest in the series.
The Part definitely gets better as it goes on, though, because Araki gets progressively more creative with the enemy Stands' abilities and the nature of their confrontations. It's no Part 2 or Part 4, but there's still a lot to like in Part 3.
I dont think they do nor will they ever have Sailor Moon blurays.
Youre in it deeeeep man!
Not that I blame you. Kurumi is fucking wonderful. Her character design is one of the most amazing things Ive ever seen.
And then theres her voice: (NOT SAFE FOR WORK AT ALL) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gLSC_2LU9w
I dont really. Im so far behind again. Working all the time.
I buy a whole lot of it and watch it later.
YES
I still need to find a way to watch this. Hopefully it gets licensed here.
I agree with you so far. I know that this helped create/popularize many aspects of shounen manga, but it's the kind of shounen I'm not very fond of right now. There's always a few amusing moments every episode though, which is nice. I guess I preferred the faster pacing that Battle Tendency had, since Stardust Crusaders just feels so slow to me. I really hope the second half picks up like everyone says it does.
Yeah
I really hope hes ok. It signifies an underlying problem that goes beyond just hating the anime thread. I bet he has some very real personal issues that are affecting him negatively and it channeled through the anime thread.

Theonik said gkids is gonna release it in the US earlier in the thread:
Tonari no Seki-kun 19
I think this episode may have had some of the most adorable Yokoi reactions yet.
Also, you know, megane. Can't complain about megane. And the choosing of them is a nice choice of scenario - I know from experience that can be a tense and difficult experience even without the looming spectre of Dark Yokoi judging your every move.

On different news my steins gate blu-rays got here. Now which deity do I have to sell my soul to so I can get a cheap fate zero?
That's what she said!
Never? Does Toei just suck that much?
As for Patema, it was picked up for theatrical distribution over here by Gkids. That means it probably will get a DVD/Blu-Ray release by Cinedigm; the same thing happened with From Up on Poppy Hill and A Letter to Momo, I think.
MVM in the UK. I like Aniplex's sets though, and I placed my order for the second set on Saturday. It should arrive at my place sometime this week!

I assume British film blu-rays don't work in Murican ps4s.
Not unless the PS4 is region free.

It is not for movies.
They don't, and they don't even work in our regular Blu-Ray players! You'll need a region-free Blu-Ray player to play them. It might seem a bit expensive, but you might save money in the long run depending on how many Blu-Rays you buy.
Personally I'm okay with my regular Blu-Ray player, but it's been awfully tempting to get a region free one at times.The UK has some titles on Blu-Ray that North America doesn't, like Perfect Blue. I'd love to own that in HD!
I was specifically talking about the animation and yes, it's been fairly solid, good fire effects, fights look very consistent even 6 episodes in etc. They even have specific main animators credited whenever there is an impressive looking cut. As for the rest of the show, I think Yugo Kanno's music is quite decent as well. Of course, stand of the week isn't for everyone and it seems to be pretty faithful to the manga so I guess your problem is with the source material!

I don't buy enough Blu rays to justify buying a region free player. I only want a few more anime to own then I wanna buy the breaking bad Blu Ray series.
As to JoJo I guess my eyes are not seeing what's so impressive of the animation.

http://sakuga.yshi.org/post?tags=jojo's_bizarre_adventure:_stardust_crusaders+ might help, stuff is tagged to the left if you're looking for specific elements
I'm not saying it's some consistently super impressive animated looking show like say Dennou Coil or Hyouka etc. But to say the animation is "meh" which includes the fights doesn't sit well with me.

If by worth it you mean "onii-sama looks threatening and everybody feargasms" then yes.
I must have missed that little bit about the US license! thanks!
Congrats! Awesome series.
Also there is a "cheap" Fate Zero.
Yes Toei suuuuuucks.
My brother bought the game for PC. I dont like it.

What is the "cheap" fate zero?

I'm sorry that you've just discovered this
Even the some of the best looking mecha and fights in a Gundam show aren't enough to save Unicorn.

Lets see how the final episode fares in a few days time. At the very least we should get nice looking 2D mecha lol.I'm sorry that you've just discovered this

BDInfo for disk 1.
If you can just buy a BD Drive for your PC then region-freedom is trivial.
Passkey or AnyDVD are decent enough solutions for playing disks as region free on MPC-HC.
I kind of regret my purchase now even though it's about a third of the price.

Those quotation marks didn't lie. Jesus Christ I laugh how I can get the entire FSN series for 70 bucks but FZ at the cheapest is 300 bucks. On the good side part 1 of attack on titan is like 30 bucks. Guess I'll stick with Netflix and Crunchyroll versions of FZ.
FSN isn't worth $10.

I have a laptop. Once I build my pc when I graduate college I guess I can make a consideration. Doesn't anybody sell this in digital format then? Without much loss in audio?
