Kanba actually knowing and having past history with the woman was actually rather compelling and makes his subplot way more interesting that project m, ringo, and shouma. I almost thought Sho was gonna drink that frog potion there and ringo having feelings for him...did not want.

I missed virtually every single joke so it was one of the worst episodes. I did like the ones with Sasahara and the vending machine.

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom 9 + 10

Zwei was looking a bit more cool then usual and actually

showed sincere joy and concer then turned it around to looking crazy yet somehow epic when he was on the hunt for the master, stunning ending there that leaves me shocked on where the anime goes next.

Can Satou and

just get together already? I was quite frustrated by the end there, fortunately Souma never fails to deliver comedy even if at the enjoyment of Satou.

At least when AnimeGAF gets wall of shame'd AnimeGAF does so in style.

Heres mine from a little while ago. I was being sincere thougH

NCIS is awful. One of the worst procedurals.

Does it actually take itself seriously? Because I can't.

 

[Jintor]

I can't tell if it's a problem I have that I can't really find an issue with what you posted, or if it's an issue they have that they find it weird.

I mean basically what it is is making fun of high-tier fighting game discussion or anything else that requires a high level mix of knowledge, slang and being relatively comfortable with the people you're conversing with. It's like dipping into any group's private correspondence and presenting it without context. Of course it sounds stupid presented outside of the setting it was actually presented in.

Well, whatever. No skin off my back.

In case anyone will be in Tokyo around June to July, they will be showing Revolutionary Girl Utena Adolescence Apocalypse in the Bakuon Film Festival in Tokyo. It was the number 1 most requested movie so they added it.

It's the Infinite Stratos of American television.

 

[Vrakanox]

Anyone here still watching Zetman? I'm getting the new Jormungund now, I've also been watching this anime called Baccano! which I'm really enjoying.

No, it's Bleach.

Most recently, Mirai Nikki. I got them too, for a 48 episode outer space adventure murder mystery anime.

This sounds pretty awesome and meta.

Bones...

Do you bake for your harem? Is your real name Rick, Joule?

... i don't think i could choose

Have a split cour, the 3 episodes can be an OVA!

welp

lol, nice job Dresden.

Itokoi Dresden it just works.

:firehawk

No way this is a coincidence.

It's not nice to make fun of fictional characters with birth defects, okay?

It's pretty obvious she was born with immobile claws in place of fingers.

Is that the excuse we're using for Kanon 2002 characters now too?

 

[madp]

No, it's Bleach.

Bleach filler.

Bleach filler.

Don't be that mean. Bleach had half of a good filler arc.

Anyone here still watching Zetman? I'm getting the new Jormungund now, I've also been watching this anime called Baccano! which I'm really enjoying.

I dropped Zetman after it became clear that the anime was going to be way too rushed for me to care about the story or characters at all. I might read the manga eventually, since the basic concept does intrigue me.

 

[Vrakanox]

I'll be honest though, I'm really not enjoying jormungand as much as I thought I would. I like the style and the genre but I just can't get behind the characters, and the pacing is just too slow for me.

 

[Vrakanox]

The manga is better. But I like the series even though its super fast, I guess that's because I already know whats going on and I just want it to get to the good stuff.

Lupin the 3rd: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine 2:
Man, this show looks hot as hell. The visuals are just out of this world. It was kind of weird seeing Jigen's eyes so many times (comparatively) in this episode, though. I liked seeing a different side to Jigen's character, and I think they did a good job at fleshing him out. The flashbacks told most of the story, and Fujiko was really just there to set things in motion. The direction and music helped the emotional moments hit all the right notes, and although there was nothing shocking in the episode, the turns in the story were all executed perfectly.

In short, awesome show remains awesome.

 

[Crash Station]

Hayate no Gotoku 39

YES! TTGL episode!

This episode totally had sakuga in it I think.

The new Lupin might very well be the best show this season. Or at least in the top 3.

 

[Crash Station]

Anyone here still watching Zetman?

I am, but I'm really not happy with the way they're adapting it. They're probably not going to show the mansion/sleep-over arc which was my reason to look forward to this.

 

[zeroshiki]

Didn't this movie bomb pretty hard upon initial release? Where the fuck were all these people in 1999?

my jealousy is showing, isn't it

If it makes you feel any better, I'm not gonna watch it either

More and more it looks like I should pick this show up.
Hayate Combat butler right?

 

[Regulus Tera]

Hayate no Gotoku 39

YES! TTGL episode!

I need to check this out.

 

[madp]

Don't be that mean. Bleach had half of a good filler arc.

Maybe if you combine every sakuga episode from every filler arc that Bleach ever had it might add up to half a good filler arc, but half an arc as in contiguous episodes from a single arc? That's mighty generous.

More and more it looks like I should pick this show up.
Hayate Combat butler right?

Hayate no Gotoku/Hayate the Combat Butler, yeah. It's right down your alley.

 

[Crash Station]

Yeah, Hayate the Combat Butler is the translated title.

 

[cajunator]

Looks like its OOP but amazon has the whole thing for $250.

Utena movie is pure architecture porn.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

It's pretty amazing. This whole season is so stacked that it feels premature for me to even really wonder about which show is actually the best. There are just so many great shows airing at the moment (and a lot of stuff which could be amazing).

 

[cajunator]

Utena movie is put architecture porn.

Utena PERIOD is architecture porn. Incredible stuff. there is no other anime series even remotely like it that I have ever seen.

 

[Hellsing321]

Mysterious Girlfriend X 2

This is a pretty classy show for how perverted it is. The framing device of having friends discussing relationship problems at the vending machines hit pretty close to home for me. this show has a way of seeming very real and genuine even when it goes to weird and interesting places with its subject matter.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Zetman 3

I think it was a good and enjoyable episode. I dont think they have established an actual antagonist yet, unless

Spoiler

Amagi corp dude is actually going to betray Zet, or that other group that appeared in episode one after Jin's fight are antagonists form him. Though then where does the other dude, Jin's friend fit in to this? I feel a bit disappointed that the op or ed shows the red zet they mentioned in the episode, hope Jin gets it fast. Lastly confused on auntie, why cant he see her, and is that the real one?

Also finally got back caught up on naruto shippuden and bleach dub, and like the hard box thing funimation did with Legend of the Legendary Heroes, which hope to watch this week, pray its good.

 

[Jex]

We made up a Strawberry Panic drinking game for you in the HanaIro thread. FYI.

At least that sounds slightly less dangerous than the Gundam 00 drinking game.
Don't try it at home!

What does that entail? Take a drink each time a full name is spoken?

Take a shot every time something in Yami doesn't make sense.

 

[Jex]

You're thinking along the right lines.

- Drink every time a full name is spoken

- Drink anytime anyone says 'Gundam....Meisters'

- Drink anytime anyone says 'Celestial being'

- Drink anytime anyone says an acronym (this includes GN particles)

- Drink when Marina Ismai is useless

- Drink when Saji or his family are owned

- Drink when someone opens up their cockpit to speak in the middle of combat

- Take a shot when an enemy pilot miraculously ejects rather than being destroyed

- (For the suicidal) drink anytime anyone says 'Gundam'

- (For the suicidal) drink anytime someone says 'War'

 

[wonzo]

Jormungand 2

This was certainly an improvement over the first episode mostly due to the lack of the poorly directed action scenes and the far less visually offensive use of CG. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Hayate no Gotoku 39

YES! TTGL episode!

This episode totally had sakuga in it I think.

*adds to list*

Take a shot every time something in Yami doesn't make sense.

But that's just called drinking!

[cajunator]

Yeah, but, the architecture porn, like everything else in the movie, is cranked up to 11 compared to the tv series:

Yeah I know but I mean the whole Utena project was just incredible to begin with. you cant really just pinpoint one remarkable thing about it. The whole show is legendary.
the movie somehow took all of what was thought to be the epitome of amazing AND UPPED THE FUCKING ANTE.

 

[Jex]

This doesn't tell me if it was bad or great. It could be either or both!

Well, presumably if it's the dumbest shit ever that's quite a feat.

This was alright I guess. Bebop does stuffs, it looks pretty. This must have had a pretty big budget, all them nice shiny explosions. Futanari out of nowhere as well.

Somewhere along the way this kid showed up, forever changing the name of the show to:


My Little Bebop Can't Be This Cute
thanks for that title, Hito

Dub voice for her is amazing, one of the few dub voices that manages to nail that "anime" feel without hurting my ears.

Yeah, 6 episodes to go, then I'll finally be done with My Little Bebop!

The hardest thing about long-distance podcasts is that with everyone disconnected, it's very easy for people to accidentally talk over each other, due to loss of body language. I never really mastered that.

I am pretty sure that they have software now where people flag up when they're speaking so that other people don't interrupt/talk over each other too much.

The full name thing was so fucking annoying.

And it didn't help that the Innovators had the worst names in the history of anime.

Participating in podcasts takes mental strength?

It depends who you are doing battle with!
