I skimmed the manga along with the posts here to see if it's worth my time and I'm sort of confused. If the girls are guns, why are they carrying guns? Shouldn't they like transform or umm like shoot the bullets themselves?

It kind of blows your mind, right?

This actually makes me sad. You would think 10 years later people would realize that there were only a handful of good shows from that season and that Full Moon was the best one!

I actually agree with you about Full Moon. that show is AWESOME.
I marathoned that sonofabitch and I don't regret it. Probably one of the best endings in anime in terms of wrapping up the loose ends. The music in the show is sublime too. I still listen to it. Especially Smile.

I think it's the same logic in Resident Evil 5 where you carry your armor in a pocket of your armor.

Yet another sinner who has never learned from the mountain.

One of the more impressive things about this series is that the dialogue is actually interesting. It helps that most of the characters are actually adults, and so we're not subjected to the immature chattering present in most anime.

Also, Archer is about as obvious as author avatars get.

absolutely.

'Tis what I thought, just wanted to make sure I wasn't going bonkers here at 2:00AM

Speaking of, I need sleep. I spent almost all day playing Graces f and I'm finally done with the main story and am going to bed now. I look forward to catching up to 10 pages or so tomorrow. :p

Avatar quote.

I get that a lot these days.

Ginga e Kickoff 2-5

Great faces!

And actual soccer!

Heck, I even got used to Kobayashi voicing a boy after a while. Who knew she would make a great Genki Boy?!
Yep, I think I'm all in for this one.

Is it better than Knight in the Area and Giant Killing?

No, Saber still does. But that's because she's way too uptight and emo. I guess I better get used to it though, since I have to marry her next year.

Lucky bastard!

I think they wanted to compromise between normal facial ratio and uguu squid eyes. The solution was to go with the uguu squid eyes in the newer Kanon obviously.

Yeah I don't know what to think about this one. Guess I have to accept it as a Guns and Girls.

No no, the girls are guns. But if you have a girls and guns fetish e.g. you like to see girls holding guns, they cater to that as well!
 
Blood-C Ep. 4

I'm now convinced that everyone wants to have sex with Saya. In regards to the ending,
this is some The Truman Show type shit isn't it?

Kawamori inspired us all to learn from the mountain in Arjuna, but the man we learn from there has always been shrouded in mystery until I saw this movie. The man's name is Osamu Tezuka, and this is his protest anime condemning the evils of genetic engineering. Fans of Arjuna will feel right at home here, outside the notable absence of the world's most perfect boy. In his place we get a slightly less perfect protagonist who is faced with hunting down and killing the kitten he once had as a child, except the kitten didn't grow up to be a normal cat but a cat-human hybrid with additional powers. The story is mainly told through flashbacks as the tragedy of man's folly unfolds. Verbose explanations of background info are certainly not omitted here, so the viewer can fully grasp how sinful our society has become.

Some may call the production rushed or sloppy, but as the Japanese government had just made the mistake of approving research of recombinant DNA, what we actually see is the urgency Tezuka felt in getting out his message. If only we had listened, or the new reality of broken homes, oppressive dictatorships, and billions pushed towards certain death woudn't have befallen us.
This is why I want everyone to see Arjuna. I really feel that when an anime is created to tell us a message, not just to sell us merchandise and make some fat cats fatter, is the only time that anime can ever truly be art.

Watched Fate/Zero S201.

I'm quite content with it but left wanting more. :( I'm eager to see how they handle the
Saber/Lancer
battle and the
Saber/Berserker
one for obvious reasons. :p

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.

I wish I could travel back in time to shoot myself before I watched this.

This is the best use of the Pyscho slasher-scene music in any anime ever.

So.

Let me get this straight.

What you're trying to tell me is that the girls themselves are guns but they're shooting guns... of themselves.

Not only that but

The middle schoolers are designated as Assault Rifles, the high schoolers are Battle Rifles and elementary students are SMGs?

This is some deep shit.

oh god please let there be a FAMAS-chan

The character designs in Naze no Kanojo really are fugly. It's like I'm watching Pokemon.

LET'S GET THE
KILLING CASTER
PARTY STARTED!
Oh boy, that was a very pretty first episode. Loved the fights that went down, not so much the purple thing but all the pretty space fights were awesome. With
Gil's Gold Glider vs. BerserkPLANE!
, it just made me want to keep watching.

Disappointed that the first death was of Caster's master, but at least the party finally got started!
