Nah, I -- huh. ...huh. Wow, you're right, you almost can't go wrong with Yellow for at least a few years now.
Where did the pity go?

I personally watched first UY TV with the movies (sans 2) interspersed when they were released in theaters contrasted with air date of TV episodes, then 4 (no Inaba there) then the OVAs, then 6 (just to get the dumb thing out of the way) then closing it all off with 5.
Technically I guess 6 would be after 5 with the cameos it had, but I wanted to end my anime viewing on a GOOD note while still being a completionist, nevermind 5 being the proper manga ending and 6 being one of the worst regarded UY animations made.
Rabbit themed anime?
Sailor Moon.
And yeah, movie 6 isn't worth it.
Sailor Moon.
Why sans 2? Watch it later?

I'm probably late on the news, but holy moly I'm happy that Ben-To is finally getting an English dub! I've been waiting for this for a long time. This will be the first anime DVD I buy in a very long time. Like Shin Chan being released on DVD, long time.
Giant Robo The Animation 1
Hnng, that retro character design. This OVA looks really, really good. The characters designs are a great throwback to 60s anime & manga, and there are a lot of great moments of strong direction and good backgrounds, the opening chase scene being especially standout. The power of OVA budget! Good music also.
The story feels fittingly old-school in setup, but I mean that in a good way. The shadowy organization with their pointy hoods, the exagerratedly evil scientist, the mysterious science artifacts, the dude with GIANT HAIR SPIKES. As someone whose first manga was Astro Boy, this kind of feel makes me happy.
The characters also seems pretty charming. Daisaku played a surprisingly minor role in this episode, but I assume he'll shift into focus going forwards.
I guess if you're gonna have a giant robo you might as well just call it giant robo. Is there any particular reason why he has an Egyptian headdress?
That's a good one! Also Bunny Drop if it counts. Not actually about rabbits, but it's right there in the title.

Got a problem with Momiji and/or Fruits Basket?

Captain America: the Winter Soldier
For a movie called the Winter Soldier, he's not around quite a lot. Dude was just a doof.
Really feels like its been a while since I watched a movie that wasn't anime, because man, shaky cams everywhere for action. I'd be nauseous if I was watching this in 3D.
That being said, it didn't feel like it was overstaying its welcome like Sacred Star of Milos did (and that movie is shorter!), not to mention, it wasn't stupid and nonsensical (because it wasn't written by BONES. Not that it gives Marvel in general much leg room...). Although, it's a bit weird when you consider areas tied from different universes (well, series wise...)and no one chips in to help. I mean, Iron Man got name dropped in the movie. So it's like,yo Iron Man, check this funky shit out. Then again, shared universes are a bit weird like that. A good chunk of this is rambling on my end.
Also Falcon was the shit.
Good movie. And one I didn't pay for (because I was being treated by a friend at the theater)!

zvezda 9-12 END
I wasn't expecting this to make it past the first few episodes before collapsing in on itself so I was pleasantly surprised when it not only managed to keep things together for all of it's run, but the fact they
was simply the sweetest cherry on top of this excellent show. Can't wait for the OVA!

even tied the incredible smoking episode together with the BIG BAD in the finale
Technically, but more I saw that on Sci-Fi the one time they aired it and it was the one UY movie Netflix didn't have in stock when I binged through the series. If I had to buy them all I certainly would've skipped 6.
2's one I want to revisit sometime, especially now that I have series experience, but it was technically covered while everything else wasn't.

But there's also (from what you've told me) a myriad of butts, good enough!
Just like Love Lab. Love Lab is awesome. Maki is awesome.
Too bad there won't be a season 2
That's really disappointing. I would have loved a S2, where they actually get a bit closer to actual boys.
And what...its based on a 4 koma. I guess that won't give me what I want.
http://www.penguin-empire.com/ looking at the sorce code almost makes me want to watch daimidaler. lmao
I think I prefer Misaki Ayuzawa when she is tsun.
a brown cutie? Thats usually good but occasionally not what it seems..
Ketchup on eggs is gross but alot of people do it.
Personally I like eggs with crawfish and a bit of tabasco on it.

Congratulations, youve just acquired a classic. Be sure to watch it dubbed.
Agreed. Another Satoshi Kon treat. This was his least characteristic movie though. It didnt blur fantasy and reality as much. Still a very good movie.
I'll admit I have tomato sauce with my bacon & eggs.

I could only hope it were a fraction as good as Dusk Maiden.
I have to agree, BEAR
I live about 20 minutes from the Tabasco factory but Ive never heard of tabasco soy sauce. Id like to try it. I have tried tabasco ice cream though.
yeah its one of the better EDs so far.

Come on Chitoge...fight for your darling.
Not that he shouldn't just drop dead for his continued insistence on Onodera. Fucking. Onodera.
I nearly spat out my root beer.

Onodera is a sweetheart. How can you hate her?
It's Chitoge and her gorilla hands and strength that needs to drop dead.
Oh gods please don't.
whaaaaat? Fruits Basket is an adorable show. I definitely recommend that.
damn thats quite the break in purchases! What is it you love so much about Ben-To?
She is a sweetheart. Onodera hate makes me cry.
Would you say this is a good show to marathon in a single night?
Me and a few friends do these anime marathons every few months where we watch a 12 or 13 episode series in one sitting, but I try to find shows that will entertain us, good for group viewings.
We watched Blood-C, School Days (had a ton of fun with them), Eden of the East and Ano Natsu de Matteru (not quite as good, but still ok, although I fell asleep midway through Ano Natsu), so yeah, you can see the stuff that gets a pass.
If anyone else has a suggestion, I'm all for it, but it has to be 1 cour show, and none of us should have seen it, so here's my MAL, for those of you that might not have me on your friend list.
I had blast marathon with Kokoro Connect last night, I can't say its a objectively good show, but its a great ride lol

This may have just been a "training" episode but the way it was handled, especially with the fantastic animation at the end, made the end results feel very well earned. Hopefully that blond shitheel will get annihilated next episode.

Yes, I'm totally stealing that shtick from whoever started it (was it you, Woofington?)
More technobabble. Bones gon' Bones. Characters make it worthwhile. Akari is good. Hana still best girl. There is a simplicity underneath all the plot threads that I can appreciate.
Cautiously...cautious.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
The worst part about her is that cleft lip. That shit is never kawaii, its kowai. Kawai is a pretty good show though, best waifu's ice queen persona is starting to show some cracks.
3 weeks in and its my favorite show of the season (caveat I am intentionally not watching any Mushishi until the series is over so I can marathon that greatness).

While I was watching this I couldn't help but wonder who Ei-chan's indepth explanations of the basics of tennis are for? Now maybe it's just because I live in Aus, but I don't think I know anyone who doesn't know the basics of tennis. It's quite a simple sport. It didn't seem like an explanation for young kids, it was far too wordy. They're just annoying really. If you need to explain the rules of tennis, show it with play instead.

Well, that was better than i hoped.
Main character is cool , you can tell that the sun king has a lot of secrets and a clash of personalities is unavoidable not to mention the military that will make things complicated.

Pretty cool episode.
The story of a third - rate vilain that wanted to be big but was brought down by a gust of wind
Thanks for the recommendations.
I kind of made a list of stuff that we'd enjoy in that setting (so I don't think Crest of the Stars would fit, although I do plan on watching it by myself lol), I added some other stuff (mostly noitamina shows that I missed), so if someone could help me pick? At least narrow it down to shows that will keep us entertained through the night.
So, here's the list of the things I'm considering:
Kokoro Connect
The Happy Science films (I think this would do well, we could probably finish four films)
Black Lagoon (first season, obviously)
Silver Spoon (also the first season)
Hakaba Kitaro
Library Wars
Mermaid Forest TV
Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito
Zvezda
I'm also kind of interested in Fractale, No. 6 and Antique Bakery, but they don't seem quite as good.
Thanks guys.
Antique Bakery is a pretty good show, but it is super gay and definitely not "so bad it's good" so may not be the best fit for an evening's showing (I don't know what your friendship group is like).
No. 6 is fairly mediocre, and Fractale is disappointingly poor (and not funny because of it, unfortunately).
So basically I don't think any of them are good for a "group watch" setting unless you have a lot of bishounen fans in the group, in which case you should watch Antique Bakery.
IMO, of course.
