Admittedly i had this state of mind with older black bars on the side anime. But then i realized that I've missed some good shit from the past.
I'm really disappointed in you.

The Flag show is a guilty pleasure.

Agreed. SAO is pretty fun.

Yu kobayashi played another dragon loli in Sands of Destruction.
Boy oh boy have you ever.
I like Flag time too. Dragonar I watch in part I think to see if i get bored at the same point I did in the manga. And for the non lolis.
This reminds me about this link showcasing some of it's Acrylic background paintings.

I hope at least you don't stretch them to "fix" the black bars lol.
Mushishi Zoku Shou 6
I don't think it was the best episode, but it was still pretty great at building its mood, as usual.
The thing I kept thinking about in this episode (and I'm probably the only one) was the way it presents its cherry trees. If anyone remembers my Aoi Bungaku impressions, one series played heavily on the idea of cherry trees as a symbol of dangerous temptation leading to madness and suffering: In the Woods Beneath the Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom. That was directed by Attack on Titan showrunner Tetsuro Araki, who would only know subtlety if it punched him in the face in slow motion while yelling at the top of its lungs. He "foreshadowed" these ideas with images like this:
Nagahama's sensibilities could hardly be more different. So his take on a similar theme isn't just more tonally consistent and complex, it's also a lot more naturalistic. He communicates through carefully-framed images that still feel drawn from the natural world, instead of creating a heightened fictional reality.
I'm glad there are directors like him still working in anime.

No I was just being superficial. I thought there was no reason to watch a show older than the 90s when there are plenty of good shows nowadays in hd. Then seasons like this one happen.
Similar reason as to why it physically hurts me to watch say a soccer match that is not in hd. Eye candy has spoiled me.
Yeah. I know. I though his CW show was terrible. I think I liked the Attack of the Clones movie more.
The newer series with Ashoka I loved (though I'm still way behind). That mad the prequels worth it for me.

Every time I see you talking about Kobayashi, my minds first goes to the hot-dog eater and I get confused for a moment.
Black bars aren't a problem, there's an easy Hix for that.
Not even available on the UK store.
That site says £37.99 would be the UK price. That's ridiculous. Just release the proper PS3 version Namco and stop being such shits. Seriously, who's tit do I have to suck for them to bring it over?
I wish I liked FZ enough to pay that kind of money for the show, but it just ain't worth it to me at that price.

I LOVE fate zero but I wouldn't pay more than a 100 for a whole anime series. Preferably if pay less than 70 for it.
I'll pay premium for shows I like without hesitation. The number of those shows is few though.
Clannad 9
"I can't believe a story about a dead girl coaxed me into letting my roachdaughter stay out all night with this harem protagonist!"
Way to slack on the fucking job, Roachdad. Next thing you know you're gonna hand the kid a condom and give him a thumbs up.
I would hate Fuko less if she'd stop referring to herself in the third person every ten seconds. Who are you, Hodor? A Pokemon? Come on, kid.

Unfortunately. no, i like that manga, but the chance of it getting an anime is pretty slim ;_;
The Flag time Firehawk mention is refering to Kanojo ga Flag o Oraretara
Poop is poop. Love Live stopped being fun and just feels painfully commercial and drawn out.
1-2 were nice, but 3 started losing steam as we started actually meeting the other teams.
I dunno. Got to watch for Nico. Nico-nico niiiii~

I don't think there's anything that can reasonably make me hate Fuuko less.
Except maybe not exist, that's a possibility.
At least the Clannad anime starts with the worst arc in the game (or second worst damnit Ryou) so theoretically it should be all uphill from here.
Damn right. Its all about Nico.

Hm... That's one of the things I don't like about Miki in The Idolmaster, but I like Fuko. Weird.
And speaking of characters I don't like...

Remember that one time I said were not so different you and I? Well were not so different you and I.

Nico is bottom rung tier. : l
I can't explain it. There's no justification. There is only nico and her goddamn catchphrase.
Its so adorable relative to her (also cute) attitude.
I think most of these community threads and |OT| threads are actually generally good, even when they're the same topics that'd cause a thread to become a graveyard in OT or Gaming. I guess it's really just down ot certain people clashing that normally otherwise wouldn't (or really dumb drive by posts on subjects they wouldn't care about otherwise.)

OK there is one more CR Guest pass to claim quote to see~
Oh my.
I don't feel it really works either. The JSDF did the Lupin 79' theme though and that worked beautifully. Also this 999 Galactic Railroad/Yamato one.
Spoken like a filthy dog.
Valvrave is the best.
Oh god this needs to happen.
I see the wideface has properly attached itself on your soul the way it should be!
I'd be willing to make any sort of watch bet with Firehawk to make it happen!
Thought I'd catch the one episode I still wanted to see before I go to Tamako Love Story tomorrow.
Tamako Market 9
That was a really good episode. The way all the plot threads came together in that flashback at the end was incredibly satisfying.
Hope the movie's somewhere near this level of quality.

Not really an animal person generally, but cats are a subset of 'cute things' in anime that have some incomprehensible power to erode the best parts of a character's personality. Worst example that springs to mind is Rena from Higurashi, who is awesome for much of the time, but when she goes into 'I wanna take you home' mode I headdesk so hard that I get letter keys imprinted in my forehead.
Also there's something about being a homicidal sociopath with a 5 digit body count on the one hand, and fawning over cats on the other that my brain just naturally wants to reject. Thank god it isn't dogs, I don't think my mind could take it.
Oh God so much SAO hate while I was asleep. Sort of glad I missed that. Can't even be bothered to argue with most of the mindless bashing that's been repeated a thousand times in here already, but I guess I'll respond to one post.
I wouldn't say SAO "pulls a Monogatari". Araragi is a legit pervert who has no problems with finding any excuse to flirt with and sexually harass other girls and generally revel in building a harem, even as he makes it clear that Senjougahara is the only one he actually wants to be in a relationship with.
Kirito spends a fair amount of time with other girls (generally because the plot requires him to go off on adventures in various virtual worlds where Asuna can't reasonably join him), so a harem of sorts builds up around him of its own accord, but I wouldn't say he ever shows an actual romantic or sexual interest in any of them. And when he's not off on his adventures, he spends almost all of his time with Asuna.
