[cajunator]

The only show that I have enjoyed with baseball in it is Taisho Baseball Girls.

 

[Basileus777]

The Angel Beats character designer did a bunch of the characters too, so this show should be perfect for you.

I've suffered enough already.

 

[cajunator]

Do we get a Not-Haruhi in the characters?

 

[iavi]

Haha, real nice.

 

[Hitokage]

Neither did I, but I haven't watched it in a few years. I could be in for a nasty surprise if I watched it today.

There is only one way to find out.

Angel Beats character designer as well? It's like the bad news won't stop.

From what I've read, it's a tad more complex than that, at least in the context of the game, but not by much. I'm sure everyone here's going to mock it endlessly anyway.

 

[Hitokage]

All life is suffering, so one can logically say that all anime is suffering.

 

[Basileus777]

Don't worry, Itaru Hinoue did the rest of the character designs, so you'll get your dose of uguu as well.

I described the essence of it, did I really need to summarize the whole story? It's a Key story with that kind of twist, it was going to be mocked however it was presented.

 

[Jex]

Saikano really is. Its a pretty fucked up series.
AlthougH I think it tried a bit too hard with some of the tragedy in it.
The whole premise is depressing as hell though. A guys small girlfriend gets kidnapped by the govt and transformed into a killing machine of war and as she loses her humanity she tries to keep the relationship together.
She's so cute too.

Girls turning into weapons is a surprisingly overdone cliche in anime storylines.

 

[Crash Station]

Yeah, but it's usually in comedies or Soul Eater.

On this board? True, that's probably fair enough.
Now, from what I've read about Rewrite, if that ever gets an anime... that'd really be something.

 

[InfiniteNine]

I will watch Little Busters! and enjoy it.

Now you've got me curious. The insanely fast Amaterasu group is translating it, so it will be in English soon enough.

 

[duckroll]

Key stories are like the Twilight of the weeaboo world.

 

[Urban Scholar]

I think Lupin III this season maybe the best anime for me this spring. Ep 1 was really well done very sexy & cool.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Sankarea 1

Is it too late for me to make ironic jokes about Deen resurrecting themselves with a zombie show?

No, most of us were too shocked to make those kinds of jokes.

Wrong! (me)

Studio DEEN Resurrection 1


Although it was nothing spectacular, it certainly wasn't craptacular either. When I think DEEN, I usually picture half-assed adaptations and poor quality shows, so this was a pleasant surprise.

Enjoyed it and will check out the next two episodes to see where it goes.

Your last chance DEEN....last chance.

Is it only me and Thoraxes who refuses to change our avatars to an anime avatar?

Versus needs my full support.

Indeed. I've got your back, assuming it even releases

You're cold, like Snow. Lightning won't strike twice. I don't think there's much Hope for it. I can already sense M_Night baring his Fang(s) at you. Okay, I'll stop now.

Smile Precure 5

You're still watching Smile Precure?

I've kind of gotten my fill of Cure Peace so I don't know if I want to go on. The contrived, typical plot with the recurring Akanbee wasn't exactly thrilling.

oh yeah. at least he's still making games, great

Between numerous new shows and my already hefty backlog when do I have time for such a venture?

 

[Envelope]

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.

Horse-drawn carts do have brakes, though.

Once you catch up on Smile, be sure to start watching HeartCatch! If you haven't already.

I'm still enjoying it so I don't really see any reason to drop it.

although akanbe's starting to push my patience.

Itagaki is going to love this episode.

lol

yeah, that's been on my list for a while.

 

[Basileus777]

Could you explain the flow of logic from that list of names to this statement, because I don't recognize any of the former.
I think this is a rare chance to see the thought process for the benefit people who don't know the industry that well.

Walk This Way is the name of an Aerosmith song. Aerosmith changed Itagaki's life.

&#8220;I thought I would quit making games,&#8221; he said. He started saying home, drinking from morning until night. He&#8217;d cry as he watched the movie Armageddon over and over again with his then three-year-old daughter, listening to Aerosmith&#8217;s theme song &#8220;I Don&#8217;t Want to Miss a Thing.&#8221;

Eventually, he went back to work with a renewed sense of purpose, creating the follow-up game Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore in the state that he and his team wanted it to be.

&#8220;No matter what anyone says, Aerosmith and Armageddon were the ones who saved my life, my company, my friends and my family,&#8221; Itagaki concluded.
