So it's literally indescribable? That means that either you're a bad writer or I need to add Rin to my backlog as soon as possible.

Don't change Utena! Let us keep our nobility.
I'm keeping Utena until I finish Utena!
I could try, but I don't think anything I write really does justice to the full scope of the OVA. It would be like trying to describe Tatami Galaxy in a general way, not particularly fair to the work. Of course I'm not saying the say is comparable to Tatami Galaxy in terms of quality, but I am just repeating Tatami Galaxy over and over to attempt to tempt you into consuming this unique brand of poison.

Yes it was. No idea what people saw in that one.

See, the problem here is that you're describing some highlights in the show which created the notoriety the show has, but that doesn't really describe how seamlessly those elements (along with many others) are weaved into the essence of the story without feeling particularly unusual or out of place on their own. Instead the entire show feels like something written by someone who is a little insane (like say a Japanese Lovecraft) and also pretty perverted, and somehow it got produced and released as a commercial product attempting to make money from it.
All in all, it is a very strange product.

Luckily you don't have to try particularly hard. As you may have noticed I do enjoy subjecting myself to unique and terrible experiences every now and again.
Toriko - 50
Toriko's body was not ready, they fit in some guy love, and how the heck is Komatsu going to survive in the place unless he beefs up a fuckton.
Zetman - 01
Lots of graphic violence and by graphic I mean the white blur of censorship, no idea where they're going with this so I'll give it more eps.

I'll probably need to watch another SHAFT anime first before I can find another head tilt to replace my avatar.

When did Regulus copy Branduil? I mean Brandy has been copying Jex, but I never noticed that.
Good.
Also so many nipples in the Queen's Blade Rebellion Blu-Ray (╯︵╰,)
The artwork makes Symphogear look quite interesting. might have to watch it.
Yamada is god-tier and the peasant class reside below. It's not a fair comparison.
Its likely that I will watch this, although it isn't very high priority.
Otome is best era. Hanazawa character suggests a challenger.
MY personal list would include Mahoromatic, Magical Shopping Arcade ABenobashi, and He Is My Master. Some of those were even co-produced by Shaft!
You should see the stuff my Amazon list suggests. It would scare even the most intrepid anime explorer.
Rin is pretty awful. I only saw a few episodes on Netflix but is practically torture porn.

I decided to go with the meguka smirk for April's troll day, then I decided against back to my old avy because of the new season, so I'll change my avatar everyday till I can find something relevant to this season.

No, you are wrong.

This was a fun "episode" and a great start to this year's project. I mean, it's cut from the same cloth as a lot of samurai texts, but just moefied/furryfied for a kid's audience. Not surprisingly, it looks gorgeous as well. Hopefully the next ones will be just as enjoyable to watch.
Also, it's Uchip approved:

Guys can we stop posting that monstrosity? Some of us have just eaten lunch.
I just woke up now, but damn you beat my edit.
I had my glasses off and couldn't see the keyboard *cough*
We are though! But I do disapprove of your not finishing Bebop.The fuck man, I thought we were bros.
Why did you skip to episode 9? you should start at the beginning, and you should watch HeartCatch.

Nothing wrong with it. That's a nice catgirl right there.

That Cg doesn't look much like Miku. This is Miku
Let's not confuse the two.

[Birdy the Decode S1 - Imagery from the Final Episode]
I have an unfortunate tendency when describing my experiences with a show to focus on the broad strokes: what I enjoyed overall, how various elements came together etc. but there's plenty of stuff on a granular level that might pass me by if I am not careful. Ironically enough, it was my rather lengthy diatribe on a certain recent show that reminded me how important the details are.
For example, this shot at the beginning of the episode caught my eye:
Now, there's nothing particularly wrong with this image. It just strikes me as rather bland and unimpressive, it doesn't seem like it was created by anyone with any particular interest in space imagery. The way all the lines across the image line up with each other in a fairly rigid manner is boring because it fails to make use of the freedoms offered by drawing images in space - the fact that you can position your camera anywhere around an object and shoot it from exotic angles. It doesn't even use the star-field as a background.
This is, really, a complete aside. It's a very brief moment in the episode, but sometimes the artists behind a show will impress you by cramming these small moments with cool things. For example, in the very same episode, we get this:
This is a containment device. It was never shown in the show before, and for all I know it won't ever be shown again. But for the handful of seconds it was on screen it managed to have a presence. It's sleek, black sides are reminiscent of the monolith in 2001 and it takes a very unusual shape - a pentagon that contracts to restrain whatever has been placed inside it. As it contracts, it shrinks into a smaller object, as you can see by the outline in the floor of the original device. It seems weird and futuristic and alien - the shape (pentagon) and ability (transformation) are not commonly associated with everyday objects.
What I'm saying is, it could just have been a steel box. Yet, instead, the creators went out of their way to make it unique and interesting, even if was only going to be on screen for a couple of seconds. I appreciate that level of craftsmanship in my work.

Amazingly enough, Firehawk was referring to Uchip's specific preferences when it comes to facial structure. That is, relatively flat and human-like without much of a muzzle.
What a small cute round face with an animal nose?

Speaking of easily overlooked details...
[The Big O - Episode 1]
Now, I've watched this episode a number of times already but it wasn't until the Toonami re-run that I picked up on this particular detail that was staring me in the face all along -
This shot of Dorothy and Roger approaching the factory isn't simply an exercise in great composition, it's actually effective foreshadowing for both the true nature of 'Dorothy' and the final confrontation at the end of the episode. This huge doorway tells the audience that something on a mighty scale must have been constructed at this location and no exposition needs to be given.
Visual storytelling, who'd have guessed that such a thing would catch on?

Sorry, the damage is done. you cannot revert back.
Young Animators 2011- Buta
Damn that was pretty great. Actually I think that was better than any of the ones last year, which is pretty impressive. Straightforward samurai story with furries. Some god comedy mixed in there as well. Visually very pretty, and a good soundtrack to go with it. Looking forward to the rest of this years Young Animators stuff.
Hot
Also I noticed at the end there was a "to be continued". That would be the first time one of these projects has implied that there would be further episodes/installments correct?
