Oh, man. I knew I'd seen that room somewhere.
Mononoke was like the third or so best selling noitaminA show ever, iirc.
Clear sign that having sexy weird men in your animes is the best way to drive sales.
e: I keep forgetting about anohana and a few other shows

Oh god, Haly has become the latest victim of teh furry. D:
Damn, you're right. It did do pretty well.
Hmm, let me see...
Welp, that's what I get for underestimating fujoshi.
edit: Wandering Son would be a much better example
It's literally the only thing I could think of that whole scene.

I can only assume Kirei and Kerry went down there in a -SCENE MISSING- moment earlier in the episode.
I think Ei Aoki took his love for Nolan too far. He has always said that TDK is a visual inspiration for the look of Fate/Zero!

Remember that kinda NSFW "artistic" Fate/Zero poster I talked about a few days ago? Someone got it and took a super high-resolution photo of the horror: http://flic.kr/p/cf6aMh
So, so, so wrong.

That's an "interesting" piece of artwork.
I want one to frame on my wall.

So illegal.
That's a lot of symbolism.
Victim? Whatever do you mean?

Convert? Whatever term you prefer.
I can't believe he accepted Capcom money. Sell out!
You'll be next! The Hosadapocalyse is coming!
Why is he still doing live action? He is so incredibly terrible at it.

I just watched it. That was awful.
They would have to find a quality drawing of a furry gender flipped Edgeworth to convert me.
you don't even know oshii's live action works until you've seen avalon *pukes*
don't mock the power of the internet

I'm kind of morbidly curious now. It was written by Ito, it can't be that bad.
I wouldn't want to invoke its fu
Well you're in for a big surprise!

Giant rainbows in space. Yes, this is very much a Gundam show:
So we have arrived at the fifth and not all final part of this on-going OVA series and I literally don't have the faintest clue what's going on. I can't remember who the characters are, how many factions are in play or what everyone wants. Terminology like: Laplaces Box, La+, Newtype Destroyers, Cyber newtypes, the Sleeves, Londo Bell, Garencieres, General Revil and so on means very little to me.
I have kind of had this problem since the first episode, largely as a result of the shows extremely dense 'plot' which was always incessantly convoluted and filled to the brim with specific terminology, but the long gaps between releases have only made this worse. As such the only thing I am really looking forward to is some really well animated and well choreographed mecha fight scenes. Amazingly enough this episode didn't even bring that to the table as the action scenes were confusingly edited and generally difficult to follow.
Also, I can't believe that it's 2012 and we're still getting another variation the Kamile/Four storyline. Seriously?
Wait, I had forgotten that we actually got that last time.

wow that stoked my shounen boner.
So smooth. Reminds me of Cell vs Goku.
So good.
I don't see any correlation with the first half of the eps with the 2nd one though (i assume that stuff will come out later in the fight).
And has Gon even had any kind of hand to hand combat training?

i'm pretty sure at least ~50 episodes have been confirmed so far.

SZS has the best foreshadowing of any anime or manga!
Yes! He did, like a saving grace. The thing is that the accelerated and loose movements of his work are even more recognizable between the typical animation "blandness" on SHAFT works, it sticks out like a sore thumb!
I think that was more a problem caused by some fans not understanding the underlying viciousness of the series, and consequently appreciating for the "wrong" reasons and even replicating in the more shallow and superficial way what they saw. Maybe false nostalgia was decisive on this.
Exactly. 'ZA WARUDO' has the status of omnipresent meme, so many times referenced it is synonymous of time control on this medium.
Happy Father's Day!

Heh heh. I certainly wouldn't mind another season. Or more shows like it.I suppose that aspect isn't any different than the premise for nuTrek, what with Kirk being a cadet and all.
Maybe I should thank you for the show existing at all. Please, buy two copies of every volume!
Although I don't want to praise it too much--it's good but it's not as good as, say, Nadesico.
The show as a whole feels cheap.
The space ships aren't cool or interesting looking. That one scene of the Odette opening its sails was the only time in the entire series I was impressed by any of the space visuals. (Gold ship appearance was second behind that I guess.) They've managed to use them effectively to express tense, exciting combat scenes, but I don't exactly feel inspired to buy tapestries or plastic models.
The character design, while not ugly, is a far cry from shows with truly pretty designs like Haganai or Hyouka or Queen's Blade or...whatever shows have pretty men in them (Fate/Zero?). And the character animation and expressiveness isn't anything special either. (Though still better than Shining Hearts, which is my poster-child this season for nice character designs that don't move.)
It's running entirely on the strength of some fun sci-fi details, character personalities, and well-directed tense action scenes.
