So, what about shows with CLAMP character designs?
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
NO WAY
Well I guess then they look like rails or if viewed the other way....simply normal.

I like to think that they're inspired by Salvador Dali

Remember guys, it came from The Castle of Cagliostro. No, really!
Hahaha, but you're asking the wrong man. I'm a CLAMP fan - noodle people mean nothing to me. Besides, can you imagine Blood-C squished for 4:3? Talk about one-dimensional characters...
someone needs to post the Blood-C/Laputa comparison pic itt

But then who is Nicolas Cage?
Whats this about? How are they related?
Well, the other day I was talking to /XX/ about the laserdisc release of Down Load - Namiamidabutsu wa Ai no Uta. But that did come out on VHG (gross)
Honō no Tenkōsei
Master Mosquiton '99
Twilight of the Cockroaches
Wanna-Be's
That's all I can remember off the top of my head, but I have a list at home with a few more.

Kurenai (2008)
I finally decided to watch the anime version over the weekend after reading the manga for so many years. I was a little disappointed with the tone the director decided to use for this anime adaptation. It's too seriously dark! It had its cute moments but not enough compared to the manga. Overall, this show left me slightly dissatisfied. I want a Kurenai anime reboot,

Yeah it did look pretty wrong but I have been watching other Clamp stuff recently so it just kind of blended in.
Has this been posted? Ninja tits game got a anime! (no not that other ninja tits)

The OVAs are shit.
The Kurenai OVA required me to do some research on the Manga, poor form for making me do that.
No contest with Yayoi and her "pika pika pikarin"
I thought otaku's were OCD by nature.

Amazing.
Yayoi gives Smile Precure an unfair advantage. She is one of the cutest moeblobs ever.
Otakus are completely unorganized wrecks for the most part.
"Fetishisation", I would presume.
There is another thing worth noting about that type of releases, and that is those legendary LaserDisc sets (LD-BOX) that were launched mainly at the time of highest popularity for the format... like the beautiful Neon Genesis Evangelion Theatrical or Theatre BOX (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン劇場版BOX):
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION MOVIES, LASERDISC BOX JAPAN

PUSTAN.COM - Neon Genesis Evangelion LD's Laserdisc japan
http://www.pustan.com/ld/japan/nge.html
These even included differences never seen again on posterior releases (not even as extras), and of course also had exclusive illustrations for those big and gorgeous jackets (with designs of Norihiko Nezu's influence). As expected of an avid LD collector like Mr. Anno.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I don't even have an LD player but that looks awesome! Wow its only 250 bucks on ebay too.
Not bad for a great collectors item. If I was into Laserdisc Id highly consider it.

Black Lagoon 2
The
Backs to the wall, the team has to put their heads together to face the
The shot before
I liked the action for the plan. But nothing stood out visually, sans the couple of shots near the end of the brief fight. The episode was important however to set a base for Rock's inevitable growing loyalty and attachment to the gang. And some of the facial expressions, notably the ones that host fangs bare, are just gold.
In a way, this show's introduction reminds me of Requiem from the Darkness where an ordinary guy ends up helping a group that has lived a great deal in a world the complete opposite of his. The "first job" scene was all the more well scripted for that reason. It's showing the assimilation of "Rock's" world with that of Revy, Benny and Dutch. There's also a short part with that one big wig's family and how they're disconnected because he's an "All business" man, but I don't care about him right now.
Overall, solid development episode, I look forward to more growth (and explosions obviously).
The
CG heli chase continues and the gang is forced to make a run for it.
Fahl-con...!uppercut
Backs to the wall, the team has to put their heads together to face the
aerial assault. And Rock puts his mind to work to come up with a plan.
Brain Blast
That's a badass quickshot, props to the storyboard
The shot before
the antagonist gets a torpedo literally squished against his face before getting his shit wrecked is also pretty great.

lol.. I remember the first thing I noticed when I started watching Blood C was that all the characters had freakishly long arms and legs.
Kuroko's Basket 2
Second episode was mostly good visually, though I feel they cheapened out during the basketball play part, at least initially. Still I keep loving the way shadows look on the characters and the plot is moving fast enough, which means some games should be starting coming soon.

Oh I like it too, I thought that added to the visual style of the anime. Otherwise continuing interactions with Kuroko and Kagami are good - funny, and Im ready to see these games too.
I wish it was more than 26 ep.
Where else will I get my fix for metaphors about genocide represented by cockroaches with a mix of live action and 2D in HD?
I'm not sure. My main point was that I would like to see them re-released in some form or another.
Yeah, the Neon Genesis Evangelion Theatre BOX LD was one of those that I forgot to mention.
Call Me Tonight (OVA) also just came to mind.

LDs were something from the future.
DVD quality in the 80s and there were even HD-LDs with 1080i content.

Maria-sama ga Miteru S4 13 [FINAL]
This was quite the journey. Near the end of this season Yumi almost seemed like a completely different person. No more was she the timid girl who was scared to voice her own thoughts, or who would fret about how others felt about her. She had become the epitome of patience. This was wonderfully shown through her conflicts with Touko, who at every turn would shut Yumi out from her hidden emotions whenever she felt her defenses faltering.
. Looking at how Yumi was like in the first season and comparing her to what she is now just shows how well they developed her character over the years.
It wasn't until this season that we saw a real solid relationship between Rei and Sachiko (friends of course). Rei coming to terms that she'll be losing Yoshino in more ways than one was a dilemma that Sachiko had already prepared herself for regarding Yumi. To have Sachiko comfort Rei, (who probably wouldn't have been as affectionate in the first season) just shows how far along Sachiko has changed as well, much if not all of it due to Yumi's influence.
I don't know why, but I've been holding my breath for Yoshino during the entire series.
Her playful attitude and dedication and love towards her cousin Rei made her my favorite character behind Sei (former Rosa Gigantea).
For those who have the time I would definitely, definitely, recommend this series. While this may not be yuri
there is so much subtext you can pass it off as such. The characters, the setting, the music; loved it all.

Touko's refusal on accepting Yumi's rosary was the catalyst for this significant change

I imagined they were going to pull a scenario where her operation truly didn't go as planned and at some point she would die. I'm so glad I was wrong.

save for Sei

I imagine they are lost to the ravages of age if they haven't had a DVD release.
while we're (sort of) on the subject of NGE, anyone want to explain to me just what the hell this is?

So, do you like the idea of 3D mousepads, but not a fan of boobs? Perhaps you're more of an ass person?
Well don't worry you posterior loving dudes! Shuiesha's got you covered.

Enter this Japan-only drawing and be one of the 300 lucky winners of the To Love-Ru Darkness ass mousepad!

I am always wowed by the amazing artwork that can be found on the best LaserDisc sets. It's just so much more impressive than a nice BD box because there's so much room for the art.

According to the video description, it's some aspiring filmmakers' demo to market themselves to movie execs. Not even a peep about the blatant Eva imagery.
Now this is something I can get behind.

Just noticed that, but I wasn't sure if the uploader is responsible for all the tags or if viewers can add them. There's also "Jello Time" in there.

Ah My Goddess TV S2 04
That was a fun episode, with drunk Belldandy showering happiness for everyone in town and Keiichi taking all the bad luck. Still, extremely wacky with the side story of what Urd and Skuld does, so it was pretty good just for the comedy.
A drunk Belldandy means everyone else is happy.
