Oh wow, I use to watch that one back when Jetix was around, guess 06?, thought it was a cartoon though. A shame it never came to discs, I loved their little take off sequence and the personalities in it.
At this point, your avatar is basically canon
Naruto is so hard to watch these days :S
Just picking at the season whenever.
I don't think he's a celebrity but I wouldn't know about anime blogosphere at large. I'm a little familiar with him from another forum and he is pretty consistent with himself. He can certainly give that impression to people though he does enjoy shows every so often (and sometimes it's a show I find good as well). I think he's an alright guy to be honest, just that his criticisms are a little too harsh I feel.
Even if the Panty and Stocking dub isn't terrible I don't think anything can save a DVD only release. It's hard to imagine there's really a concern about reverse importation when the show was aired nearly two years ago.

Not a fan of the revisiting elements in the show like they do such as Operation: Tornado or this ep where they traced their path to the Guild again. I think some of the backgrounds were the same too which gave it a cheap feeling. Resolution to the clone issue seems like it was going to take advantage of how much of a blank slate Angel was as well.

It's Firemind. I can't tell whether he's an extremely dedicated troll, or if he really does believe all of this stuff.
I think the problem is that blogger guy is a moron. I mean I think Mawaru Penguindrum is crap and Shinbo has been a hack since after the 90s but I'm not a moron. Maybe he should fix that.
I've read a few of his blogposts since I saw this and he has absolutely nothing of value to say. Distressing.
No surprise there. I'll be surprised they're not going to push for the distribution rights of OG E7 from the cold dead hands of Bandai. Releasing the original series on BD would be a great way to drum up interest.
F/Z 17
Welp that's that.
That delicious irony. Oh man, it was all over the place in this episode.
I kind of feel the same way actually.
Even though I (vaguely) know how it ends, it's given me a better appreciate for both F/Z and F/SN somehow. All the parallels and foreshadowing between the series have been really interesting and I like how F/Z doesn't just treat those things as simple fanservice.

Nah dude, stick around. I enjoy reading your posts.
Aroduc's posts about the ending of Toradora were pretty amusing, as they perfectly illustrate his uncanny ability to totally miss the point.
You can't come in, call out a bunch of people you don't know for no good reason, and then act like the victim when said people respond in kind.

I would have enjoyed Summer Wars 100% more if they dropped the internet stuff but kept the human dynamics of the story.
I called who what now? If you're referring to the post where I called you guys easy-going, I'm sorry, okay! I'm sorry I implied you guys enjoy anime!
We're also not like minded at all.

Organ donor cards in the train tunnel was a bit heavy handed. I think it embodies everything I dislike about that portion of the show. Exposition dump at the end was a bit much too. Maybe I haven't noticed until now but I think Angel's eyes are layered over her hair . wtf

I kept thinking about this as well during and after I finished the movie. The non-Oz stuff seemed so strong that dropping it all together may have been beneficial to the movie. I can't say for sure though. Like Firemind though, Natsuki and her family really resonated with me and I had a more enjoyable time watching them than Lovemachine.
Not true. We all make fun of 7th.
I didnt have a big family but I liked it all the same. I think the Oz stuff was the main hook for the story though, so it might not have gotten created and/or approved without it. Which makes me sad. See guys, this is why Hosoda turned to furries
Astro Fighter Sunred
An enjoyable comedy about the daily life of a rag tag group of super villains who despite wishing for world domination are very nice bunch. As someone who was always more of a fan of the villains its nice when a show focuses on them. Also the ED is far more educational than Shining Hearts. Move aside girls, your bread song has nothing on this chicken casserole ditty.

Dropping it and replacing it with what though? Where would the conflict come from?
Sailor Moon 28
Any episode about
Another
Sadly, she never learned to draw anything but rocks.
It's interesting that as Mamoru gets more likeable, Tuxedo Mask is becoming more of an asshole.
And of course, there's the music box that will undoubtedly play some role later. Music boxes always do.
Any episode about
Mamoru's and Princess's past is a good episode.

of the youma, this one's an artist.

That's where all the making-fun-of begins!
Vamp is so moe too! Sunred himself was pretty entertaining as well along with the other 'heroes'. One touch I liked about the OP is Red's increasingly depreciated bike. I should get around to the second season sometime.

I guess actually paying attention to the episode for once made it actually interesting. I am liking all the shonen antics that is going on, rolled my eyes a little suddenly having the opening play during a chunk of the match and all that BL hanging in the air. Also about time to introduce the other members of the team.

A less heavy-handed (but still) technology-driven narrative would be my solution. What form that would take, I don't know.
Yami 11
Yami's gotta yami
Another pointless sidestory, this time focusing on what it means to be alive, as performed by the pvc-voiced crew of a spaceship that...uh... does stuff, I guess. And shoots tentacles at people for one scene, and then never does again. Because yami. And then the drunken fox goddess stole lilith's hat. How mean. Also, that frog-princess-maid and ogre do not make a good couple. What the fuck, Deen. Eve finally appears!
So basically, this was Yami as usual. But also Yami-er than ever.

I haven't skipped the OP once. The song is awesome.

Well with Kishimoto removing the focus on others characters and the animators having a Naruto Sasuke OP titled Lovers and numerous Naruto Sasuke EDs...
Panty & Stocking dub trailer
Sounded like Haru's va from FLCL? Otherwise, guess Ill get it since I did like FLCL and Gurren Lagann and it says its from their studio and the music at least sounds interesting. Another near blind anime purchase.
Area no Kishi 17
So many heart thumps. I think the episode was handled well.
Mine is so into her heart theory and worst Leonardo Silva believes it too? If she would tone it down maybe but I just dont like how its affecting Kakeru and confusing him
Suguru needed to be around longer, he's great in these flashbacks and rather cooler than Kakeru
Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabitito 11:
This is the last show that I would expect to realistically depict what happens to the human body in the vacuum of space, but Yami continues to exceed itself in every way possible. Nothing adds that final bit of poignancy to an already-tragic death scene like a moe girl puking in her own space helmet. My lack of disgust is really all I need to prove that Mysterious Girlfriend X is already doing really horrible things to me.
I'm trying to parse the rest of the events of the episode into something logical, but it still doesn't work. I gained a new respect for frogs, and I walk away from this episode with the very sincere hope that there is no ogre sex in the next.

Wow, the voices for Panty and Stocking are way worse than I could've imagined. So lifeless.
Funimation once more realises their voice work is too offensive to British ears.

Well...matches the quality of the anime!
I'm gonna guess I should be happy to live in a country where this video is blocked.
Decent but not spectacular nor what I expected? I agree!
Watched a few things today:
Korra no Densetsu 4
Hmmm.
Hmmmmmmm.
I could do without the convenient saves. It's an interesting, multi-faceted story they're telling here, but
Sankarea 3
I think I'm done with this show, unfortunately. While visually it remains interesting to watch, my understanding is that the comedy side is emphasised from here on out and those are already the weakest scenes of the show for me. When Wanko got "stuck" in the pipe not only was she drawn to have ample room to move around but it was purely a fanservice moment, and relied on the usual "woman shouts at man not to do amusing thing" schtick.
Saint Seiya Omega 4
I have no problem with beam spam if it's interesting beam spam, and although we have the usual elemental stuff here there was enough variety in execution here from Ryuho that I'm not too worried, and Ryuho seems like a nice if bland character anyway.
My enthusiasm was slightly dampened by the word "tournament", but I suppose we haven't met all the Saints from the OP yet (have we?) so maybe we can get through their introductions before we get to the boring stuff.

do they really have to have Amon let Korra go so many times?
