It's pretty cool how Yen Press is the only company that bothers with translating light novels these days. I wish they would expand and pick up more LNs. Something like Durarara would be too perfect.

It would be nice if Yen Press had their own forum so fans can leave feedback about current licenses and state wants for future licenses. I have no idea which contact address I need to fill out so I can get the titles I would like to see them pick up be heard.

Brave 10 6

Best episode by far. But that's not a high bar to pass.

I hope you're loving dat manservice in Brave 10, Chet. I really, really hope so.

I found it far funnier than it's probably supposed to be. I burst out laughing at this scene.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Tell that to his employer. :/ >>;

For the sake of every cute thing in the world—I will!

That also involves me watching OreImo, which I'll get to in time.

Accel World 8

Ore no imouto ga konna ni kawaii wake ga nai.

Man, even fifth-graders intimidate Cartman. The lead-up to the Burst Link in this episode was absolutely ridiculous (

Spoiler

she wants to take a bath with the guy and then complains when things touch? Come on

), but the twist surprised me. And

Spoiler

her change of personality

was good too, haha. As for the battle... Man, Silver Crow sure loves to

Spoiler

lose his limbs.

He doesn't even mind anymore.

Obviously, the OST strikes once more.

Spoiler

Scarlet Rain's

theme is pretty good.

This show needs to start going places soon.

 

[madp]

There is some deep shit going on. Also, what's your opinion on who

Spoiler

Mirror really is? I think it's Elena because that was without a doubt Chiaki Omigawa's voice. Why would Elena be snooping in GB?

Spoiler

Her hair and skin coloration are the same, and if you thought she sounded like Omigawa too then apparently my senses weren't deceiving me.

Your guess is as good as mine for her motive. We barely know anything about her yet, although that will undoubtedly change eventually.

There were a lot of things in this episode. Respect was not one of them.

Oh dear...

Hey, Knight in the Area introduced a love triangle. Well, that's new.

What? Actual new plot elements?

 

[Femmeworth]

Yoshida was another animation director for episode 26 so it was probably mostly his work on 26. Nakata also did work on 26 so I'm sure some of that is him too.

You're right, I fail at reading ANN. :x I saw Kurashima first and stopped there, I assumed that each episode only had one animation director. Damn, episode 26 had four animation directors. :O I don't quite understand how that works, but it worked out well.

Manyuu Hikenchou 06:

Well that was kind of a nothing episode, which is absolutely for the best.

Spoiler

The villain gives up halfway through the series? Pathetic.

She's not really the main villain.

Spoiler

The Chifusa and Kage's father is the real villain of Manyuu.

The Manyuu Clan isn't done with Chifusa yet.
But then again, I don't think any of you care...

FUCK

[imghttp://www.abload.de/img/sengoku8go9z7.gif/img]

I DON'T EVEN

AMAZING

Without question one of the most bizarre episodes of any anime ever. No exaggeration. It's like this show suddenly became Yami for one episode.

No, seriously.

I mean it.

Watch.

It's not good the way that episode five was, but it's unlike anything I've ever seen.

Well, I am sold!

Duckroll hype strikes once again.

Just read the manga.

Duckroll didn't lie; Go Shiina's soundtrack was excellent, if used rather bombastically.

I just don't think the world needs adaptations of Junji Ito manga; the printed page is enough.

I thought he hyped up the thing as a whole. He seemed to be the only one that had what I think was a positive reaction to it. Either that or I misinterpreted him.

And yeah, Junji Ito manga might not be best for anime (and DEFINITELY isn't best for CG).

 

[trejo]

I don't even remember the music in Gyo. All I remember was ugly CG fi- oh, wait, I guess I can see why duckroll ended up liking it.

Having fun here at Fanime. Surprising I already found some Kids on the Slope and Tsuritama cosplay.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

KotS cosplay must be pretty practical to put together. Here's a better challenge: try cosplaying something from the new Saint Seiya or, perhaps, that crazy shit that happened just this week in Sengoku.

Try and find Jason and tell him he's a creepy entertaining bastard.

 

[cajunator]

So do you just work every waking minute for a few days and then binge-watch on your days off?

I work 12 hour shifts and then go home and sleep most of the time between. we are supposed to have a 7/7 schedule but due to lack of manpower and rapid company growth we have had to work extra days. It has been about two years since I last had that schedule.

That's not healthy, Cajun. Ya gotta find some balance, maaaan!

It is what it is.
Right now I can spend 500 bucks on anime shit every month and not even worry.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Sounds cool. I wish I had that much money to use on my own, but my mother is awfully-stringent on the funding.

You'd have to have really bad posture to cosplay a character from the new Saint Seiya!

Fits the majority of the neckbeard otaku who have bad posture, then!

My posture isn't as good as it used to be, thanks to marching band and long nights at the computer.

Anything interesting to report so far?

Oh wow, he actually is here, huh. Maybe; I was going to at least try to go to Mai Aizawa's concert which is at the same time as his proposed meetup though.

Anything interesting to report so far?

Only panel I went to so far was the Koyama one, and I posted details on that over in the AO thread.

Spoiler

Miller is definitely Elena. It also seems to indicate that she's some sort of spy/double agent. I think it's possible she works for the Americans. After all, she's American herself, and err... fuck yeah USA!

Oka no longer totally sucks, but the constant harassment from world-class bitchmonsters never ends. Everything about this show is fabulous. The delicious tears

never stop flowing.

Goemon seriously needs to be taken out of that home, though. Oka has a shocking disregard for innocent lives.

But you get a chance to assassinate Yamaga and put Gainax out of their misery. Surely that makes up for it?
