Kids on the Slope Boy's Love Jazz and Mysterious Girlfriend X were both picked up by Sentai for simulcast (and possibly DVD/BD releases?).

Persona anime dub also confirmed to be using the game cast as well. I think thats new news. Both announcements coming out of their Sakura con panel. whoops anime boston.

Probably, I couldn't focus since so much was going on around me. Plus it took about an hour and a half to finish the damn episode since people thought it was the perfect time to interrupt me.

Well, I've given you the exact scene. It's about 4 minutes long, or so. Go now, it will help, I assure you.

All over my face.

Nothing on releases dates or even no. 6 and phi brain and horizon s1?

I could talk about in greater detail if you'd like, but to really illustrate my point I'd have to use pictures. Most of these images would be spoilers because a lot of pretty interesting stuff happens in this episode and the vast majority of it is original and interesting.

I suppose I could drop it into a blog, but that seems a little pointless. If I'm going to spend an hour writing a post I'd like people to read it.

I'm just giving you a hard time buddy.

No.6 will be getting a dvd/bd release and will have director/studio commentaries on the dvd/bd release from Japan.

Sentai won't have the K-On shorts on their S2 release and they said they'll be watching Gintama movie release sales closely - so if you want the actual series licensed they are holding you are your family hostage!

TWGOK S2 also got picked up, I think thats new news.

The only release date announced was July for Clannad AS. I am already in for day one.
 
Fate/Zero 14:
It's back. This was definitely a great return for the show, and they wasted no time in getting back into the thick of things.
I thought the conversation between Tokiomi and Kariya was great, and it was really nice to see more of Kariya who was pretty absent for most of the first season. We also started to get an idea for Tokiomi's character, after mostly just being there so far. That was definitely the highlight of the episode for me, but we also had a lot of other awesome stuff, and Ryuunosuke's death was completely unexpected (and brilliant).

We are not worthy.

I'm having a hard time finding any previous accounts of "girl with eyepatch".

I have the weirdest (semi-patriotic) boner right now.

Also this show is educational to me because I know nothing about guns really.

Blu ray ftw, cant wait.

Moretsu Pirates 14

Pretty nice episode although it was really low key and such. I cant wait for the next episode for more pirating.
though this time with the yacht club, reactions from the crew will be hilarious, I hope
 
I feel like I missed out here.. I thought CR was doing a simulcast for FZ 14.. but it's not on the site..

Is that only for the initial broadcast and it doesn't get posted until later?

I thought this was apparent last year after we saw how amazing the visuals were compared to normal TV series. I mean it's freaking movie quality.

Yes, it's just surprising that they took a few months off, came back, and it seems the quality went UP instead of down. This isn't how anime usually works!

iirc, they are delayed a week from the original broadcast.

People who watched it were most likely watching it from nicovideo.

This is very true. Also judging by the pre-release screenshots, the next episode seems to be partially flashback. I think this fight is going to last 3 episodes.
 
Upotte!!

the fanservice was more explicit than in the manga but Xebec is Xebec is Xebec.

And next week will glorious.

This better mean they will use Teddie instead of Kuma.

We're going to have to dodge potential spoilers for ep15 for a week. They're screening (screened?) ep14+15 at Sakuracon as well.

I don't remember Fate/Zero previous season streams on its nicovideo.jp channel being so slow in the buffering process, even when those were just made available. Bigger expectation than ever I suppose, and that makes me even more frustrated... load faster, argh!

Interesting how Elamba is turning into Zari Bars' version of Hamdo.
Aw fuck, not Boo. Loved how the assassn's daughter's eyes went so cold during Nabuca's speech.

The buffering takes longer because they actually bothered to have a decent bitrate this time. When you see the episode, you will understand.

Fate Zero 1

Yeah... this is a rather poor first eps. 1 hr of setup with like a dozen characters. hmmm....

After Fate/Zero became so strong later on I retroactively thought that the first episode was actually kind of necessary and good.

I rewatched it today and it's still actually kind of painful. The number of people reading things out about other people, who then read reports on them, who then discuss the details of another character - it hurts.

Push through though, because it's worth it.

I was under the impression that different Queen's Blade characters were all drawn by various artists.
The game books have individual artists, then the animated adaptations have character designs based on those game books. Rinshin was the sole character designer for the first TV series and one of the character designers for the rest. (And an animation supervisor.) So its got this Rinshin flavor to it.

I know a lot about guns, so I will probably appreciate it.


This is magnificent and informative. It also reminds me that I haven't finished Venus Vs. Virus (Yes I bought it don't judge me)
