I still haven't seen it myself but I know there's a lot of people who really praise Dennou Coil.

While that looks like the case for chickdigger (or suspected piracy anyway) I'm pretty sure for him it was carelessly making a topic without watching the video said topic was about.

Heh, Netflix only estimates that at being a little over 2 stars for me. A lot anime seems to hover around 3 with some exceptions, and the premise of that one seemed especially bad anyway.

He was banned for two weeks for basically being a smartass to the mods in the thread, not actually piracy.

As said earlier...

Click button for uguu :p

These are so wonderful. I press the button many times!

I always thought Makoto was wearing a necklace, but instead it was a music player.

Thats an odd player.

Hey guys, I just started watching Tasogare Otome x Amnesia:

http://myanimelist.net/anime/12445/Tasogare_Otome_x_Amnesia

Loved the first episode. However, I have family that has been bugging me to start them on a new Anime series. Usually I'll watch a series first, and then show it to them after I know it's I. A good story. II. It doesn't have anything too weird (fan service etc.) But it's Memorials Day, and my family wants to spend the day watching Anime (lol I know, they are weird).

Does this anime have any fan service or anything that would be embarrassing to show?

Yes it has some.

Eh. I've shown them all the Ghibli films. Cowboy Beebop. Shingeki No Kyjojin. Golden Time. Toradora. All the films by Makoto Shinkai and Mamoru Hosoda. They even liked Nisekoi (lol which is a Harem. Although its fan service wasn't that heavy, and I would fast forward some parts). I'm sure I'm missing some.

To be clear, my family is all adults. I just don't want to have that awkward moment where i explain to them fan service. Maybe I'll just go with Samurai Champloo. They haven't seen that one yet.

Watch From The New world. Kids wouldnt be able to understand the show anyway.


All the above is true

YO DAMN at those sakuga cuts. Somebody finally putting in dat animation work. Just look at that slow-mo.

Looks like the show is finally picking up. Hopefully they keep up this level of animation for the Earth fights. So good.

Though keep in mind that Survival Game Club has Masahiko Ohta at the helm (director of Mitsudomoe, Yuru Yuri) and was actually serialized in the same magazine that once had Sailor Moon - its demographic may surprise you.

I also hold that Stella was a hidden gem, but that's for another time.

Minato's MP3 player in Persona 3 is a NW-S20x. His headphones of course are the Audio Technica ATH-EM700.

The joke always was that the soundtrack in Persona 3 is what Minato is listening to in the game.

In persona 4 people always joked that the soundtrack you heard was what Yosuke was listening to.

That was Star Driver level. Before this, the mecha stuff has been somewhat flat but this was definitely a return to form. I just want them to keep this level.

Maybe it's Star Driver level because they actually got a Star Driver animator on it! Takahiro Shikama did some of the action cuts this week, with the Ordinary sliding backwards dodging the lasers, and the cut where it kinda spins and goes through the smoke.
 
Wait, Stella Women's Academy is getting a sequel of some kind?

If only... I loved that show.

Fate/Zero S2 1
This episode was epic! It just felt like everything that has transpired so far has lead to this episode. And I did not see that coming with
Kiritsugu taking out Caster's Master.
That was also epic! So "cool"!!!

Edit: I just read up on who Caster was based off of as I never heard of his name before. Holy crap dude. I got sick to my stomach just reading some of the things he did.

Yea I was just going through Sakuga wiki at the end of the episode. One of the better Star Driver animators. He did the great Mrs.Watanabe vs Takuto fight too. He does really good work with weight and smoke.

IIRC he was one of the two Cybody designers for the series, so he did a lot of mecha action throughout the series. He did all the best fights in SAO too!!!! Lol.
 
Started Haikyu and now I'm all caught up. Really well done. The humour's spot on and the characters are adorable, especially Tanaka and the libero.

Yeah, the characters play off of each other's personalities wonderfully. Probably my favorite thing about the show.

Also I'm glad Nishinoya showed up because now I understand all the Haikyuu characters that appeared in an old Haikyuu/Nisekoi crossover oneshot.
 
Vividred Operation - 4



I swear, this Alone nonsense feels less like monster fights and more like pest control at this point. I want to see some mahou shoujo V.S. evil villain action! Not an instant transformation to instant fusion to instant finishing move.

So we've got three fusions now. How is this going to play out when they're fighting an actual villain? Are they going to have to re-dock and de-dock like freaking Getter Robo?

Whatever, the team is now set, I'll probably find out what Not-Homura is up to in he next episode. I hope.

Vivd yellow is best vivid ..

Sometimes all you need is a big badass cannon defeating everything on his path.

The amount of ballwashing in this episode...

Like what the fuck, he solved a rather impossible problem in his spare time? Oh and he's fucking Spec Ops too. No wonder his sister wants the dick.

Vividred Operation - 3



Seriously though, what was the purpose of that other than : LOOK GUYZ, I'M WEARING KAMINA GLASSES!

Either all, it's still awesome.

Now you're getting the right idea.

I can't wait for your episode 6 impressions.
Also I hope you are watching BDs.

Im still mad that Vividred only has DVDs :(

Sailor Moon - Episode 1

Thought I'd get on the Sailor Moon watch as well as many others have started doing. I'm hoping for some great things from this.

The first thing I'll say is that I really like Tuxedo Mask. His rose tossing and short one line speeches are my kind of thing. It's so stupid yet so classy at the same time.

Usagi's alright so far although I hope she doesn't keep crying under pressure like that. I'm sure she'll get used to being Sailor Moon pretty quickly so that'll be happening a lot less often.

LOLOLOLOL. Uhmm....well Ill just say the other senshi make up for her deficiencies.

I might start watching Sailor Moon once they've got the first full season up (and I've reduced my backlog quite a bit from all the shows in it now). In the time it takes me to go through that much, they'll probably get the next season up, and so on and so forth.

It would be my first time seeing the series since watching the first hundred or so episodes of the US TV dub way back in the mid-90s (eventually moving on from it to the likes of DBZ and Yugioh), but I have only the faintest memories of the show, so it might as well be new to me.

basically, watching the dub didnt count at all.

Eureka Seven 1

Dat OP. All that trapar.

Wait till you see the kids!
So charming? Youll want to hug them!


Im cautiously interested.

How about these, any of them decent?



Dennou Coil
Blue Seed
Himitsu: Top Secret - The Revelation
Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna
Kara no Kyoukai 1: Fukan Fuukei
Ayatsuri Sakon
Mnemosyne

Dennou Coil is the only must see in that list.
BLue Seed is mediocre but decent. It will give you nostalgia trips back to the 90s.
I dont know the rest enough to comment except Mnemosyne is basically torture porn.
 
Mekaku City Actors was Mekaku Shitty Actors for me. But I think that this season, since I started to watch western dramas again pretty heavily, I don't have the patience for crappier anime shows that I would have let slide otherwise.
 
C3-bu was so bad that even Miyukichi couldn't save it, though this isn't NeoGainax so maybe it will be fun for one episode or something.

Sabagebu! has the talented director of Love Lab and the first season of Minami-ke behind it, so as long as the source material is halfway decent, I think it has a fair bit of potential.

Ryuunosuke searched far and wide to find happiness, but it turned out that what he really wanted... was inside him all along.

I think there's a valuable lesson to learn from this.

Bjergsen is the greatest midlane in the world
Haikyuu 08
The pro reciever who can return anything is the shortest one on the team? These doujins write themselves.

Oh yeah, the show. It's boring. There are only practice matches so far and on the horizon, so between all the training and these matches that don't mean anything there isn't a lot to get excited about. It will probably be like 4+ episodes at the very least until they have a real match.

All You Need is Kill


A fun read. Just the right balance of drama, dark humor, action, and pathos. The justification for the
time loop
was fairly novel and the restrained pacing and scope of the story is commendable considering how easy it would have been add unnecessary bloat and exposition. The translation is good and reads naturally enough; the cutting of the Yoshitoshi ABe illustrations is unforgivable, though. It will be interesting to see how the movie measures up to the light novel.

I think I'm the only one I know of looking forward to Momo Kyun Sword. The tale of Momotaro, but as a magical girl and with prominent cleavage. It looks very anime, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
 
Fate/Zero S2 2
Okay yeah that episode was epic! I could see how Caster was confused.
Joan de Arc
does look a lot like Saber.

Rider is still being stubborn because he doesn't agree with Sabers ideals. So whatever. He's still kind of cool. Archer is awesome but still cray cray. And Lancer continues to prove why he's pretty much the best Servant in this Holy Grail War.

Boobs too big. Still cute. would watch.
 
She looked pretty badass in the anime to me. My roommates username for a lot of things is Rakushun.

She was indeed pretty cool in Arc 3 , but she got even better afterwards.
OH and rakushun is just ... just ...well i have no words that can bring justice to how well made / presented his character is

You know, I think I earmarked that Survival Game Club show a few months ago when I was looking at the early summer schedule. Good to see it at least has some pedigree behind it.
