Ano Natsu de Cat Planet Cuties Onegai Furry 1-2

I think this will stay on my radar. Funimation just put up the dub of the first two episodes of Cat Planet Cuties and those episodes went by fast. A good chunk happened and the humor has its strengths in the dialogue and its delivery (particularly for the uncle). As for the dub, the two leads are solid as well as the uncle and the supporting cast is hit or miss but I'd say more hit than miss. Interesting that Aaron Dismuke (Al from the original FMA) is the lead character this time.

Yeah I preodered it. I cant resist a show about alien catgirls.

Azumanga Daioh is a bad show! (My debut post in AnimeGaf!)

Whisper of the Heart...no, I can't lose Femmeworth!

Panty & Stocking is the best comedy of the last ten years! (...okay, that one was a terrible lie)

It's too haaaard!

Okay, let's tackle this from a different angle: forget Animesuki, forget most of the other people in this thread. It really just comes down to saying something that leaves Hito or duckroll's mouth agape with incredulity, and...uhh...

Okay, I think I'm just straight-up telling you to tag fish at this point, which is wrong. Looks like you're stuck walking on eggshells until you hit full member like the rest of the juniors. Good luck, and it's probably good for your health if you keep your posts in gaming side to an absolute minimum.

I'm good with that last piece of advice, I almost never post on Gaming.

Which is weird because I joined Gaf to post on Gaming.


Anyways, only some days right? Like cajun said, I got this shit...

Mawaru Penguindrum Episode 2
C5gDP.jpg

That Survival Strategy happened way earlier than I expected. Overall, I got a few laughs out of the episode but I think I enjoyed Episode 1 a tiny bit more. It was nice to see #1 and #2 get a lot of screentime. But let's get serious here,
they introduce a character who "probably" has the Penguin Drum, who at first seemed like the courageous and mysterious chick that usually shows up in media. But then during the same episode she's introduced, it turns out she stalks Kanba and Shoma's homeroom teacher and is totally creepy?

I can already tell I'm going all the way to the end with this.

Its fabulous as fuck and very memorable.

Ringo says it best.

Queen's Blade: Rebellion 01

Haha, oh man. Why am I watching this?
This is just hentai.
Also, apparently Horse-drawn carts have brakes. I'm not sure why that bothered me so much.

Acchi Kocchi 01

The OP reminds me of Nichijou and Kill me baby. This will no doubt be the moe-blob show of the season. Cajun would love this show.

Depending on how well the show turns out, it could be enjoyable much like Yuru Yuri was.
 
haha I didn't even bother entering the nekomimi den until I was regular (or did i?).

But hey, I'm about to watch Fate Zero... and my opinions might be not great ;P

The only winning move is not to play.

Wouldn't that be a larger percentage of this thread?

I really have no idea. I suppose I could just be the most misanthropic person here toward the anime fandom outside of our walled garden.

Medaka Box 01

If Kyouno Madoka is Suzumiya Haruhi with a strong sense of compassion, then Kurokami Medaka is Suzumiya Haruhi with much more powerful ambition.

...I could not imagine anything more terrifying.

This was kind of fun. The gags were all right, and apparently there will be more serious challenges in the future. Guess I'll stick with it for a while.

Steins;Gate 20

Woah.Woah.Woah.Woah.What?

People who've watched Gate, were there prior hints behind this
Braun being F.B.
?

It's not really all that hard to figure out where the twists and turns are gonna come from when you realize
every named character has to be involved
in some way or another.

edit: Or, y'know, what Survivor said waaay before me.

Oh, and before I forget:

Fairy Tail 01:

Somebody please tell me that the magic circles and magic in general gets less ugly as the show progresses. Looks like this shit is going to be constantly used to cut corners in having to actually animate fights.

Fairy Tail 02:

I think I remember this story taking up multiple chapters of manga material. Bodes well for pacing, bodes poorly for filler.

I come into this thread and read wrong opinions.

The most boring pony is Applejack. Twilight is the second worst pony.

Fluttershy>Rarity=Pinky Pie>Rainbow Dash>Twlight> Applejack
I would switch around Rainbow Dash and Applejack. RD is just too XTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME
See Regulus? True nakamas force their imoutos to watch Utena against their will.
I'm too much of a nice guy to impose my will against anyone.

If I were an animu protagonist all the girls would be fawning over my cock.

Magic circles aren't as prominent as the series goes on. That or you get used to them to the point they become second nature.

Actually, amazingly the anime has been pretty good at adapting the manga at a steady pace. To this date there has only been two filler arcs and one of them is what the anime is currently on.

She does try too hard but she is also is pretty awesome if you look at her capabilities and accomplishments. Applejack has nothing really other than her boring personality. Sonic Rainboom automatically puts her over Applejack.

lol warned you about those magic circles! But they really add on later once the bigger skills get going. Oh also be wary of the reused animations for Dragonslayer magic, but I think as the show got more popular they increased the budget so much of the stuff increased visually swiftly. Filler has been few, they really caught up to the manga fast.

pace slows down after like a 100 eps or so. Those magic circles are around for a long while. So much stock footage. it's pretty much mahou shounen.

Still... wth was your sis even looking for that lead to fairy tail? Shounen brawler? Manly men?

Zetman 1

Nice production values and remarkable action sequences means I'm interested even if the premise doesn't strike me as entirely original.

But what was the deal with that ED? Terrible.

Yea the timeskip apparently makes the character design go down the shitter.

Yeah, the magic circles aren't terribly distracting, they're just kind of garish and cheap-looking. It's a really minor complaint.

Only two filler arcs? I can live with that.

Yeah, it seems like they're going to have to create new stock animations on a regular basis, so we'll at least eventually get more variation even if we don't always get high quality. I just hope that magic isn't always represented as shimmery neon auras.

I always secretly wished that Erza was the protagonist instead of Natsu so that we could have transformation sequences and have the entire thing basically be an incredibly shounen mahou shoujo, hah.

I think that something about Fairy Tail just happened to appeal to her shounen instincts. Lots of episodes + tough-looking teenage protagonist + series synopsis is probably enough to do that.

hmmm for me, FMA and later FMA brotherhood were good gateway animes for both genders. You should try that after you sis inevitably gets bored of FT ;P

That's actually the OP, if I'm correct. We'll probably get the ED this next ep. A cold open.
 
Sanakarea 01

This looks to be really good. OP is kind of strange, like it can't choose between light-hearted or dark undertones. Song was catchy though.

Wanko is so friend-zoned she has a building permit.

Sanka wearing vivid red while everything else has muted colours reminded me of Schindlers list. I wonder if that was intentional?

I knew they would have dark themes, but incest and molestation in the first episode? Damn.

So she kills herself to escape the torments of her father, and he turns her into a zombie? The love story of a budding necrophiliac?
 
Hm Id put Fairy Tail about FMA BroHood, well most of the others too, I mean, for me the quota for cool battles was never reached, really
Did they ever actually "defeat" anyone?

hmmm... not really... but I don't know many 'shounen wired' girls, so I'm not sure if that is relevant or not ;P


Hmmm... I guess One Piece is the top anime/manga in japan for a reason. If you can handle the less than speedy pace, it's well worth it.

i just can't come to terms with DEEN doing something as visually impressive as Sankarea and Gainax doing some silly shounen show. anime really has changed.

She's actually seen them both, along with some other mainstream stuff that doesn't necessarily count as shounen. I'm thinking of using Tiger and Bunny to get her back into season-format anime because, well, it's a proven hit with the ladies. Maybe I'll secretly make a MAL for her so you guys can provide more recommendations. She has incredibly specific taste.
