The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - The Day of Sagittarius
Oh boy, technobabble.
That was awesome. I wonder how Nagato would fare in the WCG StarCraft finals.
Wat.

Just a heads up for anybody who was looking to buy the new Bobobo Box Set from S'more Entertainment (the same group that recently picked up Galaxy Express 999), they advertise it as a dub/sub release but there are no subtitles for the episodes. The "subs" are on a separate disc in PDF form.
Still might pick it up myself though. It's $25 for 38 episodes on 4 discs (with part 2 coming in around September). Yes 38 episodes on 4 discs. I'm sure pizzaroll is crying right now
Wat.
I have no idea why they fucked this up so badly -- but, luckily, there is no reason to watch Bobobo in Japanese anyway. The dub is a good 85% of the fun, and it's all I bought the set for!Just a heads up for anybody who was looking to buy the new Bobobo Box Set from S'more Entertainment (the same group that recently picked up Galaxy Express 999), they advertise it as a dub/sub release but there are no subtitles for the episodes.

Because they're all worse than Live Alive.Day of Sagittarius says no.
I thought the concert scene was overrated. I mean, K-On has many more concert scenes and no one praises them for that
My K-ON trolling aside, this is truly the one thing I felt was missing from K-ON. Not a single music scene to match Haruhi's.
Day of Sagittarius says no.

That's cause Haruhi still has the best KyoAni concert scene!
Also nice to see someone appreciate KyoAni's work before they started churning out crap.

Personally I'm hoping that their Galaxy Express 999 release is truly old school. No subs on disc, I want a thick 100+ page manual that you read along while watching the show itself.

This kind of twisting of truth shouldn't be allowed. That's just wrong!
True. I felt Haruhi's concert scene was just done more powerfully and raw than any of K-ON's music scenes. Granted I haven't watched the K-ON movie.
Why do I keep forgetting Haruhi predates Lucky Star, they even have a Haruhi parody in it at some stage ffs.
What? Haruhi is one of KyoAni's worst shows.
I'm holding out for the inclusion of a Japanese primer and episode-specific glossaries.
I think your view of what a first episode should be is extremely narrow, misguided, and should be scheduled for review by yourself.
No, they've made plenty of worse shows.
One of their worst? Hmm. Well it's certainly not what I'd think of when one say's KyoAni's worst (That would probably be left for Munto though I've only seen a little bit of it).

Even if you look favorably on their keyshit stuff (I don't) this simply isn't true.
Haruhi predates most of their stuff. It's literally what put them on the map if my memory doesn't fail me.

Cheat Sheet + Translated script please. We should also be required to play our own music, throw the OST in a disk and give us the times that each song is meant to play so we can select the appropriate track and timings.
It's not just an anime boxset, it's an anime playset! Look at all that value, now you can make your own localisation!
I'm sorry, I complete forgot that Kyoani did Key stuff.
Anyway, even if you disagree that it's not a good show, it's no where near being their best.
I dunno, the only KyoAni show I liked more than Haruhi S1 was Fumoffu.

Do it yourself subs, amazing.
Munto had great ideas, unfortunately, the execution left a lot to be desired, especially taking everything regarding it's presentation to the public. First you had the two OVAs, then the TV show which was supposed to be the sequel, but the first half was comprised of nothing but the OVA material, and when the new stuff started we were treated to a "to be continued" screen at the end. The movie which should have finished everything was basically a summary of the second half of the show with something like extra five minutes added at the end, but it still didn't explain anything.
However, I still think the franchise is decent, the fantasy world is extremely imaginative, very well done, and the animation is stellar, so many sakuga moments in the show, a lot of eye candy, so it's definitely worth the watch.
That being said, Haruhi is amazing.
I would probably rank S1 their third best work after the two Full Metal Panic's.
That's a funny way of spelling Nichijou.

That's the second dumbest looking Drill Hair I've seen, outside of Maggot Hair.Hiiro no Kakera - 02
Oh and with everyone looking normal and having normal hair, there's one person who stands out from the whole thing.
Not one, not two, but triple drill hair!

Hix is just slumbering.
WHAT THE SHIT.
I've had this preordered forever and it finally shipped a couple of days ago, if this is true I'm returning it back to Amazon the second I receive it. I mean, I enjoyed the dub, but I can't support this kind of laziness/shadiness.
Fuck, I waited years for a proper release of Bobobo too.

I enjoyed AS a lot. It went from a standard harem set-up in Clannad, to a coming of age/slice of life show and pulled it of extremely well.

It manages to set up nearly the entire show in a fairly succinct manner.
This is a good description.
Personally I wouldn't compare ToraDora and AnoNatsu at all.
They're pretty different things, even if they both have the label "romance" on them.
AnoNatsu is a very narrow, focused show that produces a sequence of melodramatic pure-emotion scenes across a brief 12 episodes.
ToraDora is a longer, more complex character and relationship growth story, with more going on in peoples' lives than just who loves who.
I actually suffered from a bit of the same expectation-betrayal while watching ToraDora, that Jarmel suffered while watching AnoNatsu, in that
I kept expecting ToraDora to have more traditional love-triangle jealousy explosions but the characters were too mature and too aware of the situation for it to go down that way.

Ah, the good ol Funi 'simulcast.' Honestly, after all the impressions here, I'll just wait till they get it out. In White Fox, I trusted.
White Fox have never demonstrated that they can animate anything to a good standard.
Yeah, it's like Avatar x 100.

What a bunch of losers. It's not like that pokemon epilepsy thing even occurred!
Is this "hate on TV Tokyo" hour? If not, can it be?
stupid SZS eps broadcast in 480p (most scenes), 480i (some others), 720p (the op), 240p (the ed), or weird combos like that. the op and ed actually flipped back and forth in resolution depending on which team was putting the ep together.
Do you consider the broadcast-censored version of the new Queen's Blade show "interesting"?
A pro-militarism society could be very dangerous! If you put it like that, it might be preferable this kind of disillusioned cute-absorbing actual generation of so-called 'otaku'... which I think leads me to bring here another conversation, this time between Toshio Okada and Kaichirō Morikawa:

That sounds more like incompetence on SHAFT's part.

I dont find Queen's Blade to be very interesting to begin with.
Medaka and Lupin aired just a few hours ago.
For SZS, probably, TV Tokyo can't molest it that much when they get it on the day it airs (occasionally with staffers making mad dashes across town to slam that Betacam tape into the VCR at the station a few minutes before airtime.)
There is something going on in the TV Tokyo-sanctioned production process that involves downscaling the animation to 480p, upscaling it back to SuperPAL, then applying titling and effects, though. A lot of shows had it happen until last year or so.

Besides the tits, is Queen's Blade good? I haven't heard much of anything about it besides sufficient sales.
There's also peeing, if you like that sort of thing.
