I can't judge. I bought the boxset.
I really like the atmosphere of the show, although it makes me sleepy watching it.
Its really appropriately named.
Yes the art and animation was fantastic but I'd say it's the weakest of the three Key shows.
Potato was so cute though.
Indeed, every character has their place.

lol, sounds about right.
Sailor Moon Episode 06
This episode cuts right to the chase.
Jadeite
Usagi and Naru are in her room listening to some chill jazz music.
She meets
The guy
Usagi
a pretty smokin Musician girl.
Usagi
So begins a brief but hand drawn car chase scene. Oh how I miss this type of thing.
Luna
she doesnt fuck around.
Usagi
she pulls out her Tiara and ends this circus.
TRollsagi.
You are probably thinking of "Escape from the City" which is a really fun skaish song from Sonic Adventure. Ska might be played out but I loooooooove it.

Jadeite
has a new plan to take energy, involving a music tape.
Usagi and Naru are in her room listening to some chill jazz music.
The youma sneaks into a local station and places the tape in a stereo.
an employee comes in and takes the tape by mistake.

A youma is sent to pursue him to get the tape back I guess.

He apologizes for knocking her down and offers to pay for her clothes dry cleaning.
He has no money so he leaves her his card with a phone number. He turns out to be the guy whose piano music they were listening to earlier!

So is Toriko any good? Cooking + shounen brawler sounds like a great match... but the first eps was pretty awful so I never really watched anymore.
Tasogare otomo x Amnesia ep 1
+ They got suitable VA for the characters especially Kirie,not sure about Teiichi. I was expecting for Momoe to scream UNIVERSE!
+ Kirie = <3 + with Eri Kitamua = <3 <3 <3
- Oh god...endlesseight two.
- Character designs are average through out the episode.
- Execution is terrible with those comedic faces and sounds.
Overall,this anime isn't doing the manga justice.

Wow, people are really coming down on Tasogare. Is it that crap?
Lololol. Poor Saber.
I don't even understand it really. The manga for Fate/Zero is not an adaptation of the LNs in particular, but an adaptation that is aided by the anime storyboards Ufotable provides. The only purpose is as a marketing tie-in for the anime series. Yet somehow the artist or the editor or whoever decided that for the Ryuunosuke scenes they should go far over the line into guro-porn territory. Really pointless.
I'm starting to think that this is your new catchphrase...
Its probably a bit less spammy than [redacted] so maybe youre onto something.
Hm.
Tokyo Godfathers:
That was the single longest string of coincidences I've seen, not only in anime but perhaps in all of fiction.
Not as good as Millenium Actress, but better than Paprika and Perfect Blue.
On Sankarea and Tasogare:
It is ironic that Sankarea, which is pretty light hearted and gag-filled, got a rather serious adaptation, while Tasgoare, which was always heavy on the drama, spent its first episode dicking around with antics.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. Clicked the link, went to type something in another window, jumped out of my skin when the song started (volume was too high and my bass is off atm)
OMG! There are Fujikoike credits! Someone posted a scan from I think Animage or Animedia, but the photo is focused on Sket Dance and Medaka Box entries. At the top right I saw the Ep6 entry for Fujikoike....
Ep6 - Prison of Love
Fujiko disguises herself as a teacher in an all girls school to go after a pendant belonging to one of the students.
Script: Mari Okada
Episode Director/Storyboard: Shouko Nakamura
So somewhere out there, there are credits and synopsis for ep2-5 as well. SOMEONE FIND IT! >_<

OMG LIPOIN!
...for what it's worth, does it have any Sket Dance episode titles? I'm curious to know what's coming up next...
Paprika is certainly a step down compared to Kon's other works. However, I'd say that Perfect Blue is better than Tokyo Godfathers, precisely because of the string of coincidences, which tested my suspension of disbelief, that brings down Tokyo Godfathers experience. Still enjoyable but unrealistic. What made you think otherwise?

Toriko gets pretty awesome fast, his powers and enemies never fail to amaze. Definitely watch it beyond the Gararararara Gator.

Shouko Nakamura? All-girls school? Can't wait!
I'd say it's average so far, not quite Yakitake Japan in terms of their reaction to eating delicious food but ithere's not much to complain about either.
It seems that endless eight is a scar that won't heal, there's also the issue of doing a piss poor job at conveying what type of show it is.
There is like a 99% chance of lesbians in that episode.
Of the limited works Satoshi Kon was able to direct, Millenium Actress is BY FAR the best one.
I was able to get a big movie poster of it too. Amazing film.

How did they do the crossover, was it really one part during the normal time for One Piece and then a continuation during One Piece (so no ONe Piece nor Toriko this week?)
I dislike Perfect Blue and I like the characters of Tokyo Godfathers.
Suspension of disbelief aside, I enjoyed Tokyo Godfathers more than I did Perfect Blue.

I have that box too.
Indeed.
Kanin 2006 > Clannad + After Story + Tomoyo and Kyou OVAs >>> AIR
Indeed, Millenium Actress is his best movie, if not his best work (bar Paranoia Agent, since I haven't seen that).
Is there anything you don't have, cajunator? I'm so jelly right now
and now I'm sad about Kon again ;_;
I can understand that but, as a tangent, what made you dislike Perfect Blue? It's certainly not as charming and glamorous movie as Tokyo Godfathers but did you dislike the movie itself or the subject matter it was dealing with?
Mostly aesthetic, also topic was boring.

It's a Christmas movie. Also realism in anime never mind Satoshi Kon's works lol.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
All that comes to mind during these conversations is Triangle Blue.

That's a very polite way of saying 'sleep inducing'.
Personally Clannad AS > Kanon 2006 > Clannad + OVAs >> AIR
Clannad AS weaved a much more mature and nuanced story than any other of Keys works.
Plus it's one of the few anime to make me cry like a baby
Music direction-wise, I'd say your list is right though.
Conversely, I thought it was an interesting depiction of the idol world but I guess that's just different stroke from different folks.
She is so annoying.
What did Yamada ever do to you? ;_;
It doesn't really matter to me if it's Christmas or an Easter movie. I'd still rate it the same way. Regarding realism, I can take a certain amount of fantastical elements if it's grounded in the real world before I write it off as a complete sci-fi/fantasy.

It's a Christmas movie! The movie is very deliberate in the way that it creates this string of coincidences, it's aware that they don't make sense 'in the real world'. It isn't trying to go for normality.
Geez, I'm sorry I don't believe in Christmas miracles and Santa Claus. <_<
I can see that but the string of coincidences just turn me off, whether or not it was deliberate or not. Maybe it's because I consider it a movie going for realism and that's why my suspension of disbelief alarm goes off like crazy when watching this.
