Man, the anime threads used to be so pathetic. You can find gems sometimes, though.

Time and time again, the same truth keeps popping up.

Old > New

or...wait

New > Old

...crap, I don't even know anymore.


Nichijou is very interesting.

Experiencing some post-completion sadness. Guess I have to watch Code Geass now.
After I repeat several episodes of Mirai Nikki for the sake of Yuno.
 
Everything CG, just as duckroll would have wanted.

in 50 years
anime will be entirely CG
If anime isn't in full VR in 50 years so that I can cut out the middle man and literally insert myself into the bland male protagonist's shoes, I will be a very grumpy and unfulfilled old man.

Granted, I have the ability to draw my own Cute so I don't think you guys need to worry much.
Perpetual moetion device?

Hell yes I wanna go to nationals. Also dat randomness.
It seems like Ryuuka and Toki are the new Momo and Yumi this season. The episode even starts with a flashback of the year before when they met Teru and got beat down. It even goes about the very familiar sort of flashbacks the first season had (with much yuri of course). After waking from that dream it's actually fairly more mahjong based episode but even then not enough. Kuro steps up again for Achiga but this time things don't end so well.

Funny that they hyped up the foreigner team but their first entrant wasn't much of note though to be fair Toki is pretty cheap.
Given that this match is most likely going to be the first that will be more or less fully played out with much less skipped rounds, it's okay that there wasn't a full concentration of mahjong since it'll be spanned to multiple episodes. Still I wanted more. It was more of a Toki mahjong exhibition video than anything else. She saw through Kuro's game plan and capitalized. Funny that the other two couldn't do much about it. Since Toki's thing is
being able to see the tiles one turn ahead
. Her other thing is that she's a little sickly so I assume she'll crack later in the tournament.

Boss way of doing a riichi. It gives me a 'hold dat ***' feeling. Toki really does have that Yomi though.
Yuu comes in to console her sister after losing all them points and putting Achiga at fourth. Tagging Kuro out and putting Yuu in, she hopes to gain back all those points. I hope she swags the hell out of the second round of play because dat scarf. They do show the beginning of it though prior to the end of the episode and it more or less shows what Yuu's power is which is the ability to draw red tiles. Another very predictable ability but Toki does allude that Yuu is a little special like herself. Might see some cool turnabouts next time.

I've stockpiled nekomimi pictures for this very event.

People who wish to escape cajun's curse will have to hang cat ears from their door, otherwise his spirit will creep in in the night and kill your firstborn.

Like any of us will ever have to worry about having a firstborn olololol

South Korea will, to the dismay of Japan, be the second coming of anime.

Can't wait for Taekw-On!!

This is truly an amazing piece of work. If you watch it, you have to watch it dubbed. This is a supreme effort not unlike the glory days of Working Designs. Not only do the characters sound as retarded as they look, but the script with filled with unnecessary wit and comic pauses. It helps that this entire production is cheesy as hell, and the entire scenario is nothing more than an excuse for over the top violence, transformations, special attacks, and power level comparisons. The people dubbing this even went the extra mile to translate the ending song into English and perform it over the ending credits. 5/5 Stars.
All that needs to be said is:

I would watch animated Community. So long as the actors were still the VAs. None of this MIB voicealikes shit.
If Seth MacFarlane did Community, it'll be worse than the claymation episode, I'm sure.

Reference porn people are the easiest to please though.

Not a fan of the ugly characters. Especially the dudes. Never was a fan of Avatar either for the same reason.

Unique =/= Ugly
if they all looked like generic anime characters I would have dropped it

What does that have to do with anything?

Since you cant figure it out, ill tell you
Its one of the best produced animated shows this season, and thats why it would not be a bad thing to have "more of it"
as someone stated originally

It's well animated but that's about it.
