nyaruko is not one of those 2 min flash animations?

Will watch later.


And I'm conflicted about the whole 'super detailed airplane porn' in fate zero. It was relatively cool... but the jets were completely unnecessary and cheesy. The dog fight was also... random.

idk, I really do hope that this eps wasn't the only reason there was a 3 month break =/

 

[Firemind]

Gun porn and Nyarlathotep in girl form. Xebec is god tier.

Haiyore Nyaruko-san Episode 01



My body was not ready.

Dear God, cajunator how are you still breathing right now?

I have built up a tolerance for toxic levels of moe over many years of exposure to it.

There were 2 previous two-minute flash seasons for Nyaruko, but this current season is a fullfledged anime.

See? I'm not even the most insane animeGaffer! I feel somewhat pleased by this news. So I can keep buying, knowing that I am not crazy. Let us all save animu together.

I'm sure someone can top my collection. The good news about being an anime fan is that someone is always crazier than you are. I'm surprised we don't have a "Show your collection" thread though.

 

[DiGiKerot]

Yea I have a ton of FS/N stuff laying around the house as well like the FS/N OVA set(which is a recap of the TV series).

Yeah, OK, I think you've got more Type-Moon stuff than I have...

There is a flash short of it, and by the gods of moe it's become a fully fledged anime and it's all the better for it.

There are numerous other forums (shitty ones) with this sort of thing. no need for it here.
We are classy fans. Naturally, when one of us gets something particularly glorious, it should be shown.

Why does Wandering Son get a by?

It doesn't!

 

[Risette]

Yeah this language barrier is pretty much what prevents me from importing. If I knew the language, no problem, but it is a particularly difficult language to learn. I've started to pick up on some basics just from watching years of anime, but not nearly enough to watch even the most simple narration and understand it.

It means they didn't wash it properly, so now it's all oily and greasy and disgusting.

This felt like setup for a crazy finish. Can't wait!

RahXephon has Eng subs.ooooo

Still have to get the Toradora boxset first though.

Well that's somewhat right. If I'm out in the Louisiana sun for just one day my hair gets super shiny. So yeah it might be kind of gross. but maybe they just use gel!

 

[wsippel]

Slightly different, IMO, because people see America as being "English" - you don't expect Spanish subs as a matter of course. "Europe" means at least 5 major languages, and most of European video is PAL or SECAM rather than the NTSC format that the US and Japan use (which made more of a difference in the DVD age).

Not really, as we, the glorious European master race(s), had SCART - PAL/ SECAM/ NTSC didn't matter to us.

 

[Envelope]

One of the few times you see a smug Tsubomi!

Remember folks, be nice to your little siblings! This was a pretty sedate episode about how important family is, I guess they need a few slow episodes before they unleash the ending!

Next episode

Spoiler

Dune shows up, awesome, and an appearance from Cure Flower?!

NISA actually has a pretty nifty US release of this.
Nice artbooks for two separate volumes.
I don't know what the Japanese discs come with though. Probably some really cool shit.

Well, I know what's next on my list.

Was originally going to put this in my other post, but that one was getting long due to Haganai impressions.

Waiting in the Summer BD vol. 1
This I already posted impressions on while it was running, so no wall of text. It's tied with Bodacious Space Pirates for my favorite winter show. (I tried to buy the first BD for that, too, but it's on backorder everywhere. Hopefully later this month.)

Holy hell do I love that cover! :O

I'm British - most of my anime DVDs are US imports and I lived through the Playstation/PS2 eras, I have more leftover SCART cables than I know what to do with

It didn't matter to me, but that's because I got around it. Whereas with a Region A BluRay, all Joe Bloggs in the States has to do is whack the disc in the drive and away they go - there's absolutely no barrier at all, even a simple one.

 

[Jintor]

I abhor region coding in all its forms, especially between Western countries with roughly equal economic situations.

 

[Brazil]

I'm still waiting for mine. The box looks delicious.

But is Joe Bloggs into anime? A low barrier of entry is meaningless if nobody wants to enter...

For a second you gave me a heart attack thinking it was a series artbox.

no they are DVDs in the US. they look pretty nice though.

NISA does have a couple Bluray releases like Arakawa for example.

 

[Branduil]

I'd feel bad too if I was created just so that bland harem protagnists could have sex with me. No wonder she's so emo all the time.

It says a lot about bland harem protagonists that even I am a step up, apparently.

 

[cajunator]

Weren't the DEARS created for exactly that reason?
The DVD covers have nice artwork.
I wish I had gotten an artbox with it.

Nadia - 01

It's nice to see the very first cartoon love.
And the first episode was a perfect mix of character introduction and action.

Yeah I'm not all that much a fan of trying to make out details in massive collection photos. And it tends to encourage re-posting the same photos over and over.
Although those ones where it's a scary amount of merch all from one character can be amusing.

But "new loot" is kinda fun to see. I used to hang out in the pick-up thread, but it's over in gaming-side and I always felt a bit out of place posting much anime stuff there unless it was some classic show I thought a whole lot of people might appreciate.

Fate/Zero 13

Now I see why people were dying to see 14 as that's a hell of a way to leave folk hanging. Really enjoyed the sunset scene with Rider & Waver as well, both in the dialogue and how the lighting slowly shifted.

Most importantly,
Rider > Archer > Lancer > Berserker > Assassin > Caster > Saber

We'll see how that changes in the second season.

Lol there should be an Assassin fail clip on Youtube.

Steve Blum is in Sakuracon and hearing the good word about Toonami I guess.

For me it's,

Rider = Berserker > Archer > Caster > Saber = Lancer > Assassin

Spoiler

I really just want to see Berserker wipe that smug grin off Archer's face. And I'm also really disappointed with Assassin's role in this. I love the design of the Assassin's but gone just like that? Lame

And Lancer loses points for just sitting on his ass during the entire Caster Cthulhu fight.
