*Points to the place on the doll where Anime touched him*
Accel World 1+2
Pretty interesting show. Hopefully it doesn't get too shouneny with the fights.
Lupin the Third 1
Unless another show steps up, this is likely to be my show of the season.
Medaka 1
Bleh. Not interested. I heard this series goes through some huge genre shifts later on. Maybe I'll pick it up again then.

I assure you I didn't want to come as a hater of that series. My intention was to state that side of GAiNAX people seem to forget, the kind of adaptations veterans of the studio have worked on...

All this writing talk got my attention for some reason.
Ano Natsu 1
I had a good time with this episode.
I really dig the sundrenched background art of the show. It definitely gives it a summertime feeling.
And I like the pace at which things are moving. A lot has happened already, and a lot is poised to occur. The entire cast has been introduced (from what I can tell), and we know what they're going to be up to. I'm not confused about anything, but the episode proceeds through introductions and interactions efficiently. Great stuff.
All the characters are varied levels of archetype so far (Kanna is one of my favorite archetypes,
), but so far most of them are given room to act. Unlike something like Seto no Hanayome (the most recent anime in this genre that I've watched), I feel like the characters are driving the plot so far, instead of just doing cliche-character responses to contrived situations. Of course, that's a huge assumption to make after one episode.
I found Ichika's desperate desire to fit in endearing and amusing. It reminded me of my experience studying abroad in Japan. She's acting more like a fresh-off-the-boat exchange student than an out-and-out alien, but I'm willing to roll with it since they haven't established a particular level of cultural understanding.

I love the sense of depth here, and the bright green of the fields. It feels exactly like a rural place should.

Well, you could have at least used an excerpt from my lengthier review!
YES! there is hope for CR to redeem themselves.

He just asks for it with that avatar!
If Cure Peace had an ahoge, you might not survive though.
I'm with you, the first volume of the manga was a lot of fun, Koko is mai waifu.

More crunchy slots? is this the most new shows they've licensed in one season? I for one am quite happy to see so many shows increasing the areas in which they can be legally watched.

New AKB0048 promo video, focusing on the cast, with some behind-the-scenes audition stuff.
But Koko is just too awesome!

that will break her symmetry!
By the way guys, does GAF have a thread for anime conventions? I just found out there's going to be one in my area the day after my birthday, so I wanted to tell everyone about it.
This is going to be amazing. I just know it. It has everything. A respectable and commercially successful idol factory brand, an popular writer of many super-hits in recent years, and the director and creator of the biggest idol and scifi anime shows ever. What could possibly go wrong?
As long as it isn't the Menma brand of troll ghost.
I'm with you, duckroll.
Seems that way. There's no press release yet.
They did something very similar when Eden of the East aired, only to retract it just before the show actually started. I suspect this is legit this time, but they have form for screwing up when noitaminA is involved.
Bit disappointed it doesn't appear to be an actual simulcast, though. 2pm BST on Friday is, like, a whole twenty hours after it actually airs. However will we cope?
(although the press release says Thursdays, so... I'm confused. They should fix the show page!)

You forgot Upotte!!
Haha. I just realized this isn't an exact simulcast either. It's like 20 hours after it airs in Japan.
Show of the year!!
I want /a/ to leave!
Nice to see you again, PdotMichael.

CR membership was just made worth it :3
Do you like guns? Do you like moe girls?
Do you like moe girls who are guns?
Honestly I think it looks terrible, but then I'm not into moe girls or guns, so... not the target audience!

It's about girls that are guns that use guns, but there's no violence as far as the eye can see!
Use your best judgement...
No, you dumbass, it's not. The press release says April 12 at 9:30 am PDT. Looks like the show's CR page is wrong at the moment. Or it's displaying something wrong on my end.
Blindroll is also dumbroll. Or something.
The press release says one thing, the show website says another:
EDIT - it's just been corrected!
Have you watched Softenni by any chance? Replace tennis rackets with assault rifles and you have Upotte!!

It's about the relationship between human and guns, very deep, a deconstruction of the moe genre.
It's gun moe moe. Did Hidan no Aria turn out to be a classic as well?
Anyway, nice to see CR is getting great shows like Apollon and Saki. More people with access to anime is always a good thing.
