Scientology eh. How bad can it be?

Hey, longer is good, as long as it's not too long, I could watch a 26 episode show, if you think I should.

If you don't change your mind and pick something longer, I choose Moyashimon, so I can watch the second season this summer if I like the first one.

Nah, I won't feel like it's fair unless it's roughly the same number of episodes. Moyashimon is fine, and now really is the best time to watch it with the sequel airing soon. I'll begin Getter Robo Armageddon in the next day or two!

You really want him to watch the Loguetown filler? I mean some of it is pretty bad.

Daddy the Father *shudder*

If Envelope's hatred hasn't even softened after Arlong Park, it's probably best just to let him quit.

 

[Geneijin]

Strongly considered it but its not in english.
Im not paying for something I don't understand.
Well, music Cds are different.

Some things transcend language barriers.

 

[Crash Station]

The good stuff more than makes up for it.
I kind of hope he'll like it, we'll see.

Well hopefully, but I'd say the chances are astronomically low.

 

[Grzi]

Well hopefully, but I'd say the chances are astronomically low.

Well, I have fun reading his reactions so it's all good.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Wow why did you drop Bleach after Soul Society?

I'm not sure how he manage to watch all of that.

 

[Envelope]

Well, I have fun reading his reactions so it's all good.

So I'm just a guinea pig to you? I should have made you watch Yami.

 

[Ultimadrago]

I'm not sure how he manage to watch all of that.

Bleach has plump breasts a'plenty.

Is this not to your liking?

 

[Grzi]

Too late now!
Although, One Piece sure does have a lot of episodes...

 

[madp]

Rangiku and Orihime don't show up nearly often enough to make it worth it.

Too late now!

If Envelope is going to hate it anyway, you should have just made him watch Davy Back Fight and Little East Blue

 

[Chet Rippo]

Might as well just look up Bleach pictures instead, they move about at the same pace.

Midori Days 07

This is not our clueless hero.
You gotta feel sorry for Ayase. All her plans fail just cause she fell for a clueless main character. That and he has practically fallen for another girl that is much closer than you'll ever be. I did really like all the changes in art style in this episode showcasing Ayase's dreams going from manga drawn, to hot blood shounen and even shojo. It's a fun episode at the very least.

Talk about bang for your buck!

But Yami is fucking awesome. It wouldn't be a fair trade.

Upotte's ending was stupid. But I guess they had to force an ending somehow, so they ended it with a thud. I suppose that

Spoiler

Sako

service was supposed to pop, but since the whole episode was mostly pointless, it didn't go much of anywhere either. And thus ends the world's most crazy cartoon.

Korra fanservice was lost on me, but the silly

Spoiler

James Bond Villain-seque

ending was what stood out. Gotta keep the plot going somehow, I suppose.

Finally, Space Pirates actually has a mythology. Given how aimless the series has been though (remember when they were racing a couple of episodes ago?), it just seems silly to load this stuff right at the end.

Fate/Zero 23:

Spoiler

Gilgamesh talking to Waver after killing Rider might be the most nervous I've ever been watching an anime.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. My heart can't take much more of this show. Rest in peace, my king.

 

[Kagami]

Speaking of $1000 animes...

And that's just the first half!

Although percentage increase-wise that OreImo U.S. price is much crazier.
CCS is only about double its original price.

So far, CCS, K-On, and Code Geass are the only $1000 series I own.
Most shows are too short to cost that much.
Technically I spent $1000+ on Strike Witches videos, but that's because of double-dipping DVD/BD.
If they ever release Maison Ikkoku on BD, that'll probably be the fourth one.

 

[firehawk12]

At least with K-On, you get those swag wall posters?

 

[Ultimadrago]

Korra no Densetsu 9

Besides iffy writing at parts,

Spoiler

Woooo grown up flashback assemble!(To get wrecked sans Aang, but that's besides the point)

Sket Dance 61

Yep. Anyone here get this? It almost looks Fukumotoish to me, but not entirely. I feel like I've seen something else similar to this, but I can't remember.

 

[wonzo]

Upotte!! 10 END

Upotte!! is what happens when anime and gun nerds join forces to concoct something. Such a thing must never ever be allowed to happen again. 1/5

Like a boss! Take pictures!

....Yes.

Speaking of $1000 animes...

I don't think I can ever justify spending that much money on anime.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I think I would be close to 1000$ on One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto/Naruto Shippuden by the time their done, I think. Guess $30-$50 per set adds up fast.

Though it seems extreme to sell away ones anime.

 

[wonzo]

Poyopoyo 23

what's miyazaki's excuse?

 

[Uchip]

I think one of the reasons I can freely enjoy even moderately terrible anime is because I accept the show as it is presented. I don't try to attach realistic expectations to it. I accept that the characters are "as is" in the story, even if in real life they would be absurd. In THAT story they are in, they make some sort of sense and have a purpose, even if it is pandering. This is why I can also accept really stupid characterizations that drive other people nuts.

[Kagami]

On the other hand, the Legend of the Galactic Heroes BD boxes went down in price instead of up.
They're on sale for more than half-off now, so you can get the series for only $1500 instead of the original SRP of $3150

 

[cajunator]

Being Japanese is suffering.

Well at least they can buy the shows and on BD to boot.

Anime is so popular in the UK they shove the small collection of DVDs they do sell in the corner along with the pornography.

LOL yea, in one of the big outlets here, the anime selection had Hentai scattered throughout
Yet we have a law against drawn depictions of under aged girls in sexual situations?
I guess they have no idea what most hentai even contains

Gotta use that porn to detract from the shame of the anime.

So behind the porn curtain is an anime curtain?

a curtain made of used body pillows

Is hentai wedged in-between the anime and porn as a sort of buffer?

Or is hentai the stuff that does sell?

 

[BGBW]

Well they obviously realised I watch Billy videos on niconico which is why it's also next to Gay Cinema.

Let's just hope children don't have wondering eyes when their looking for their fix of Studio Ghibli (it ain't distributed by Disney here so it too is mixed in with the filth... and porn)

The hentai is next to its Neighbour Totoro. All Japanese cartoons are the same so there's no the danger in mixing up the Us with the 18s.

 

[Reknoc]

What's even better is that pretty much everything in the anime section you can only see the spine, but Legend of the Overfiend? Better make sure that has enough space to show its full cover.

 

[Narag]

I can't fault them for giving a classic exposure.

 

[madp]

So behind the porn curtain is an anime curtain?

After going through the porn curtain you at least have to go through the bumfights curtain, Al Qaeda propaganda curtain, and Uwe Boll curtain just to get to the anime. And that's if you go to a really sleazy store.

 

[/XX/]

Well nice spot of action to finish the show off. Good to see all the girls do their bit including L.

Spoiler

Though the whole magazine business still confuses me. Two have their magazines shot off but they're fine, but L's falls out and she's puking her guts springs out.

However that logic near the end so so out of this world the Hubble telescope would fail to pick it up.

Spoiler

Guns literally don't kill people, people do.

The difference is that the magazine release catch of 'L85A1-tan' was damaged making it jam (as I've seen commented, it was another fiddly component of the real weapon that precisely got stuck easily, and also was on a position where it was common for the operator to rub against it while moving making the magazine fall out), and that was represented on the scene as if this situation was forcing 'her' feeding system to extract or eject what it had even if it had no cartridge or bullet shells inside already, hence the vomiting parallelism.

 

[RurouniZel]

Fate/Zero 23:

Spoiler

I honestly thought he was gonna kill Waver at the end there. Lancelot looks like Caster m2 (same buggy eyes), only with evil Golum teeth or whatever. Oh Saber, you're so hnnnng, but not a very good king. >>;

Guess that makes sense. Rather disappointed they just magically produce new magazines rather than chugging down a box full of rounds since it's meant to be food to them (that they shoot out of their hair).
