A script got delivered on time and It's the end.

This is incredibly cute. If I were to rate things just a cuteness scale this would get 5/5, but I won't do that. So... It's the second of these short net shows I've watched. This got episodes half the length of the other one I've seen though, and it feels too short sometimes. Some funny bits and some not so funny bits. Overall it's entertaining enough.

I'll give it 3.5/5 stars:

Lately the anime had serious problem, but you must admit they fucking deliver at essential episode like this, simply great episode.

The music and its use, sakuga, black and white scene.. Glorious.

Well, Inami's got some interesting ideas.

So it's all daddy's fault. Of course.

What is wrong with these fathers?

Yamada is frighteningly well-prepared for this.

Yachiyo with the obvious solution. I don't know what to think anymore.

No, really, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?

That. Was. Awesome.

Best episode thus far.

Episode 9? Season one is great but season two is even better. Get ready for much more good laughs.

Man, when are they going to greenlight season 3 of Working?

Even before he succumbed to madness, Stein was always the kind to push peoples' buttons just for the fun of it. I realize we haven't had a lot of Kana yet - she's my replacement Renge for this season - and besides her short appearance this time, I wonder what role she's going to play in the future, if she has one. The point about Tsugumi's lack of resolve has been made plenty of times before, but I think this is the first time Anya and Meme really drove it into her. And Jackie and Kim aren't looking so hot at the moment, either.

Super powered lolis dressing up as magical girls. Nice.

Tina is great. Shit is gonna go down next episode. She needs a new pair of clothes though.



Would be nice if she had a conversation or two with the main cast.

Hehee. You want to push the button!

I don't know if I can handle the uguu one, but I would do it for another contributor. lol


IIRC, the ring itself is huge though. lol

its a pretty small ring.

That character worked so much better than the counterpart in the first book.
You're making me curious about who Chloe replaced.
Chloe's replaced by the merchant that Lawrence and Holo both meet in the hostel(church?) they both stay in right after they meet. The one that offers the initial deal.
I found that alteration a misstep because of the sexual tension and distrust that implies, some of the themes that were later explored in a more appropriate manner as a interference and matter of discussion in the LN/graphical novel during the later
'Remerio incident & the shepherd' arc
. Better timed at that stage as a showcase of the ever-evolving closer interaction between Holo and Lawrence.

In fact, Lawrence's image as a mentor for Yarei is better adjusted due to the fact that Chloe's disposition toys with the notion of seduction and veiled interest as tools many times closely related to deception
(as it is later confirmed)
. In the case of Yarei, seeing Lawrence as an elevated role model fits in bigger measure due to the less attachment but greater respect he proceeds for him, in bonds more similar to those of long-lasting comrades than of frail or manipulating love interests.

Now, you could say that on the other hand Yarei
could be seen in a more stereotypically antagonizing villain act just breaking that trust to impose later the traitorous plans
, but overall I think his character was truly more faithfully incorporated into the story (obvious for being a part of it since the beginning of the LN), and him sinking to that depth fighting only against respect alone seemed more believable.
 
I'll be helping out firehawk with the Aria piece in terms of logistics. It sounds like he's going to be watching a lot of old anime.

Also, there is this commission going on right now for us here at Fancy-Poster Gaf. It should go into production soon.

The image isn't based on any particular anime/manga. It's an original piece by the artist.

Well this has taken a very interesting turn with regards to Falken's character. I am very curious where they take it from here.

Jajuka = best anthro character EVAH.

Folken, by this point, is probably the most interesting person in the whole show.
I suppose sympathetic villains are nothing new, but the extent of HOW sympathetic he is - particularly given that his motives never really change - is quite impressive. Also, this episode brings the impressive imagery at the end as he opens up his wings.

Yes Folken's character is really impressively well done.
I was impressed by the creative use of imagery in this episode. Another example of that was the scene in Zaibach with the general, the snail and the field.
 
What are the shipping costs like, e.g. to germany/europe?They work for me.

edit: whats weird too: when I first clicked on it, I went to the photobucket page, now directly to the image. Mysterious.

Germany is $19 via USPS First Class or $37 USPS Priority, but it depends on the weight. This weight is estimated at 1lb. If you buy 2+ posters, the costs rises due to the heavier package and needing to use a bigger tube.

I guess I'll throw in LOGH as well, because what the fuck.
(Funny that no one has suggested Bebop :p)

I'll probably suggest him as the artist for the Aria poster as a suggestion and see if the group comes up with someone else in mind.

When's the deadline for the Kuusou Toshiron print again?

We just need another person to sacrifice themselves to get that in too.
This is quickly becoming the 'make firehawk actually watch anime' starter.

Thing is, firehawk could just continue not to watch any of these shows because of "time" or something like that. It's always the way with Kickstarter-esque projects.

Of course, everyone would think he's a total dick if he did that...

If you've not watched Clannad there's probably *somebody* who would want you to do that...
I feel like I watched that one but I'm not sure. Is that with the one with the twins and the magic tree? lol

Naw, I would just not watch anything next season. lol
(Well, if Tamayura S3 or Hyouka S2 magically appears, I reserve the right to watch that :p)

So good. Hoping that the european set matches it up to this.

Wait that's the first 2 movies only ? Where is the third ?

Sounds like kickstarter alright!

I think it helps that there are such lower expectations for the titles of lower profile that people can actually get to work on them rather than worry if they are "true to the material" or can "live up to the legacy" or whatever. Fewer "cooks in the kitchen" too to bog things down. What needs to happen is a Black Lagoon movie though. So perfect for a Hollywood adaptation :)

I imagine it may be more to do with the fact that the rights for these properties are considerably cheaper and have fewer interests attached to them.

So in 2016 I release a statement that I need extra funding to power my computer then? :p

I pulling my participation, if you're not watching Clannad + After Story, firehawk. After Story is the best anime in my book.Nope, no twins, no magic tree.
Come on man!

(What the heck is the one with the magic tree then...)

Don't make him watch Clannad. He'll lose his vision permanently from all the eye rolling he'll be doing.
I can only imagine!
 
Hunter x Hunter 131

Well, forgetting the polemic stuff like, you know, the plot, that was a beautifully directed episode with great visuals and music. The chorus music, the piano near the end, the sketchy style for the transformation, the black and white scene... Hats off to Madhouse, again.

Come on man!
Its not that bad of a deal. You're only forced to watch the best or at least one of the best anime that ever existed.
I'm gonna get mauled by someone

There's twins. Ryou and Kyou Fujibayashi. No magic tree though, unless you saw the movie and thought the tree in that was magical for some reason.
Shit. I must repent.
I can't remember the most girls from Clannad well, since I always just rewatch After Story. Only girl I can remember is Tomoyo, because best girl.
I am so glad they made the OVA.

Hrm, I seem to remember a tragedy porn Key-ish anime involving some kind of tree as its center-piece. This was back when I had no idea what I was doing and started randomly watching stuff in 2009 though, so it's only a vague memory now. Oh well. lol

You know, despite rumours to the contrary, firehawk12 has always been in control of the shows he watches and when he watches them. He doesn't need to kickstart his way to good anime, he could have chosen to embrace it at any time!
 
Hunter X Hunter 131

Now this is a controversial part, even when the original chapter came out.
BUT FUCK THAT BECAUSE
I FINALLY GOT MY ANIMATED GON-SAN. I waited a long time to see how they would do this AND DAMN DID THEY DO IT RIGHT. I waited a long time to see the kick, the punch, Pitou's skull finally being crushed, all that and I am thoroughly satisfied. The black and white, the shading on his transformation, all that was amazing. I still love this fight.

I am thoroughly entertained. Sasuga, Madhouse.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.

So what you're saying is, this is a cash crab, like some sort of AAA dev doing a kickstarter because they don't feel like footing the bill.

52 episodes.
