Don't have a lot of time so I'll keep it short.
Moyashimon - 3, 4, 5
Really good, still surprised at how this can keep me entertained, but it does, so you won't see me complaining. As I already mentioned, I love the cast, the setting, but the dialogues are surprisingly interesting, which is strange, taking the subject matter into account. A lot of sake talk too, didn't expect that coming into the show.
So yeah, I'm pleased so far, and I see no reason why it should change until the end. Hopefully the new girl introduced in episode 5 will be an interesting character.
Wandering Son - 2
Enjoying this a bit more than Moyashimon, so I guess it's kind of strange that I've only seen 2 episodes so far, but it's purely by coincidence. So far, not a whole čpt has happened, but I find myself enjoying the character interactions quite a bit, really subtle and mature. Of course, I'm mostly pleased with the visuals, the show really looks amazing, and the direction is top notch.

Watched the first couple eps of Otome X Amnesia. Nothing special, but it's enough to keep me entertained. And the fan service aint half bad.

Yo, that was hype. Worst part of the movie was all of the transforming at the start. Hopefully New Stage is even better than this.
Bakutech Bakugan - Episode 1
Horrible, Shopro living up to their low standards.
Beyblade Zero-G Episode forgotwhereIleftoff - 8
Filler series to keep kids interested until the next big one comes along. Better than Bakutech, not much happens, and the anime adaption of the character designs are poor.
Battle Spirits Heroes 1-20something
Oddly entertaining, more grounded than most TCG anime. Episodes are repetitive and add little advancement in the story.

There were a few skits here and there that weren't funny, but the vast majority were funny, and many were very funny.
I don't know about every single one, but most, certainly.
Perhaps so, but in Gyubid's case, that she's a lazy troll's surely a more important factor.
Remember what happened when I questioned E7's greatness a few threads ago... apparently, that is something that must not be done, or something. I don't get it either, it's a pretty average at best series.
(I might be willing to agree that it's better than Blood+, though, but is that saying very much?
You're the only person who complains, you know. I didn't see anyone else agreeing with you that it's bad either when I did it or now... and yes, I know you're a mod, but still...
I do think that that post was a bit long, actually, but that's mostly based on my own dislike for that series, not on the content of the post.
I don't really think Star Driver actually deserved so many pictures, myself -- it's not exactly a good, or particularly interesting, show -- but that's the poster's determination to make, not mine, so yeah.

Yep
Although I'm not entirely innocent myself, those kind of posts make mobile browsing a pain.

Okay, I'll admit I laughed at the beginning when the guy and girl grabbed the same bread, blushed, then got pushed to the side. It's like "fuck yall, this ain't no romance show, it's a lunch war!"

Booted up the game of the year Dragon's Dogma today and was greeted by this start screen:
"New Special Pawns Available! Capcom Radio Station presents two special pawns from teh hosts of their web radio show, "MonHan Radio", voice actresses Hikasa Yoko and Kitamura Eri! Both talented actresses have had their voices featured for major roles in numerous anime and games. Their high-level pawns are sure to give you the upper hand in your adventures!"
Clearly now nobody in AnimeGAF has an excuse to not play the game of the forever in Dragon's Dogma. Rent out your favorite seiyuu as yourwaifus pawns.
edit: dammit just saw Defuser linked a pic. Blah! Well good news can be repeated twice

boring~
but it's not my problem if people can't enjoy the different Shaft shows like Madoka, Soredemo, Arakawa and co.

Why doesn't TelecomAni get to do more work for high-profile productions these days? They've got Yasuo Otsuka teaching the kids, I bet the quality of output must be relatively-high and guaranteed to succeed every time. Moyashimon doesn't count.
The look that results from extremely poor scheduling isn't what I'd call interesting, but to each their own.

and it's not like Shaft make just one kind of show, so even if you don't like the monogatari series, there are many completly different Shaft shows.

SHAFT is a good studio if you like fanservice, I suppose.
I don't recall Arakawa having fanservice...
SHAFT isn't a good studio for anything.

the last 5 Shaft show
Madoka
Nisemonogatari
Denpa
Soredemo
Arakawa
yeah, just fanservice shows.
Moyashimon was a success, though. One of the highest ratings in Noitamina's history.
Except making boatloads of money for their distributors.

I'll thank them when and if they make a moe gal without a curved, nearly-nonexistent nose. '90s character design still continuing to this day!

I didn't mean all of their productions, but it does seem to be what they do best.

Getting rid of them? My, that's worse than Barbie Doll Anatomy. The new Zenigata's got an actual nose, you knows!
That's because its the best character design.
Your prudish killjoy schtick is starting to get old, you know that?
I feel you're missing the point. I know you don't like pictures, but there's nothing wrong with lots of text or pictures provided actual opinions or positions are expressed. Doing nothing but summarizing is the problem, and it's not appropriate to give the impression people shouldn't contribute to the thread.
Envelope's contentless 3 line MLP text summaries are more vapid.

Ghost moe has some fine noses (and lips), my fav art style this season.
maybe the show is also very shafty
Dragoon En Regalia

Outline's already there, lol.
Palutena looks—okay, not much different from the norm. I'm all about the noses these days. They should be more distinctive! And don't tell me that they're "not necessary", because a lot of awesome things aren't necessary. I'd be genuinely moved to see an anime show, today, with a relatively-high level of care for their character designs. These instances are still around, though not as much as they used to be.
I'd like more Utena movie noses in things.
I like Eureka Seven AO's approach to noses.

Not my problem.

I'd like more interesting noses first. Utena can wait.

So my evening consisted of Polar Bear Cafe which involved bears going to the spa. Then I followed that up with Lupin III which involved a high profile detective dressing in drag to win the heart of his superior while be pursued by Owl Men. And finally Kids on the Slope which teased us with progression in the love department only to inform us within a second that two seasons have gone by with nothing.
Lupin III (1971) 13
So this is the source of that infamous Lupin laughing .gif? Who knew. Also a predicted death day? That seems familiar enough.
If the show continues like this, I'll be quite pleased. It seems like a healthy medium between the character focused Osumi episodes and the earlier Miyazaki/Takahata "Saturday morning cartoon" fare that 8 and 11 seemed to revel in. Kyousuke Mamou was surprisingly compelling in his how he antagonized Lupin. The other surprise was Lupin slowly breaking down until he came up with a scheme of his own. It also seemed like the time travel premise was just nebulous enough to keep the viewer as confused as Lupin was initially as it's a rather fantastic element to use.
I had no idea this was remade into a TV special in 2007 as Lupin III: Elusiveness of the Fog either. Between that and Lupin III: Return of the Magician, this series again proves to be rather influential down the line.
The P-38 got some more attention than normal.
This sequence with what I'm assuming is pencil shading really stood out.
