Yeah, thoraxes, I missed your edit.
Chihayafuru is now on my top ten favorites list so it obviously isnt bad.
Loved it so much.
But you already promised me you'd watch Sailor Moon.
Also, I think I had the wrong expectations when I watched Cowboy Bebop, which always manages to sour an experience, even when neither the viewer nor the thing being viewed is at fault.
I really like the full Tank, but I didn't like the cut they used for the OP.
I missed his edit.
Yeah I definitely think you should watch more of it. It is mainly episodic in nature and only has a shallow story beneath all the fun stuff. But Its a good story. Also, you havent seen some of the truly legendary episodes like Jupiter Jazz.
Plus, Tank is kind of cribbing the style of a much better OP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXE4wO-Qt48
Don't hurt envelope ;_;
What is this, the NMA News recreation of an actual Vocaloid concert?
Looks like an actual Vocaloid concert.

That is precisely what that scary shit is.
Bring back hand-drawn miku for all our sakes
I think she's had too much red bull.
Should hear me at work, and that's BEFORE I've had coffee.

Ruthless boss by day, moe penguin by night.
Not the best example, but certainly slightly better.

pfff regression.
Can you imagine a 2hour Miku concert where all the dance routines were hand animated?
We can all dream.
But it's cheaper for SEGA just to put a mocap suit on a 40 yr old dude.
I'm imagining the Im@s scenes animated at 1s, and it's glorious.
Got that backwards, but yeah pretty much
I'm nowhere near the boss of anyone at work lol
"slightly"
You mean it's dozens of times better than the demonic miku from CG hell.
Well yes, but it is still weak on the Cajunality.

You need to watch Dirty Pair to learn what real 80s sci-fi is like.
Dammit, Japan, you're supposed to be better than 3D pig disgusting things like this.

If that happened, anime would have fulfilled its role on Earth.
mmm...Yuri. and yuri.
As for excellent animated concert scenes, the following OP's come to mind
Kannagi (stepmania background video because youtube are nazis)

Rosario Vampire Capu 2 (audioless video because YOUTUBE ARE MOTHERFUCKING NAZIS)

Hey, they did that with the Dragon Boxen too:
Oh god Im'm glad I did not get into Dragonball because my collectors obsessions would have REQUIRED that entire picture on the side to be complete.

I find myself listening to oath sign multiple times a day. I'm so ready for F/Z S2.
I wish they had kept it as the OP. :|

You're especially lucky because the first four boxes are OOP and go for like $100-200 each on ebay too.
Yeah, Bebop is 80s-like in the Dirty Pair, Space Adventure Cobra sense. 80s space adventures, basically.

pfff cg is the future.
These are the folks people are selling anime to.

For cajun, that's probably just skipping lunch for a couple of days.

If only they did that with dvds these days, that would look so nice on a shelf
Memoria gets no love.
Yeah I was about to say, I paid $150 for OOP Ichigo Mashimaro and about $250 overall for Saint Tail. I will pay for Cute. or other desired things.

Bebop is obviously influenced by shows made in the '80s, but I can't think of the show itself as having a predominant '80s theme. It's just as much influenced by '90s aesthetics, as well as even older ones.
Just think; every precure series has a CG ED! And there's 8 or so more to watch, aren't you happy?

Don't most precures have 2 ED's? 2x the fun!
^Orange Brick
^Dragon Box
The automatic ""remastering"" process ate a lot of the outlines on the Orange Bricks. And the contrast is boosted to make it look like candy colored barf. Basically, no.
More hilarity, not photoshops:

So what are the 'best' DBZ box sets?

Excellent. I look forward to hopefully getting a full year out of the show.
They put out a much higher amount of quality works in the 90s. They've pretty much completely eroded post-FLCL, and haven't had a memorable TV series in thirteen years.
Bebop doesn't feel particularly 80s to me. It may take some inspiration from past stuff, but the aesthetics are pretty far removed from 80s anime.
I don't care if you like the show or not, but TTGL is very memorable.
The strength of HeartCatch does not lie in it's ED.

YES! I didn't think it could get any more badass and hot-blooded than the previous episode, but man was I proven wrong. That was some JRPG final boss shit combined with Gurren Lagann shit going on. I figured it was over halfway through the episode, but NOPE, you get punched in the face with the gloves of pure unadulterated awesome for pretty much the rest of the episode! Motherfucking wow! I also TOTALLY called that the
. In your face, A Black Falcon!
Anyway, this was a great if not inconsistent show. While there were plenty examples of good animation, even I was able to notice the drop around episode 4 when a bunch of staff people left or something. Definitely a "what could have been" scenario that really makes this kind of painful considering how awesome the finale was and some earlier scenes were. I mean a lot of the show follows the rule of cool, particularly in the weapons department (and they fuckin swiped my ideas for some of them), so it's a bit disappointing to know things could have been much better.
The characters were pretty cool. Not amazing or anything, but in the context of the show, there's not much I can complain about. I do wish they fleshed out Chris a bit more. Everyone else other than Fine was insignificant for the most part, but that's fine with me because pretty much everyone else sucked other than red-hair dude.
So yeah, great action, ridiculously awesome weapon designs, above average characters; good stuff all around. This will probably go down as my favorite action magical girl series and it makes me somewhat hopeful for the genre as it seems to have done well. This coupled with Madoka is definitely helping my perception of it.
