Fairy Tail 37-48 (dub)

Epic conclusion to the Tower of Heaven arc, everything animated really well and the fight scenes were great. They did well in bringing my favorite arc to life, Jellal was stunning, Gray cool, and even Natsu epic. The Fighting Festival arc was fun and sentimental there, Laxus was actually really great in this as well as Gajeel and Natsu team up. I wonder how did non manga viewers feel about

Spoiler

Mystogan being of similar character to Jellal

Natsu delivering the action and the strongest team, kind of excited for it. Otherwise really hope they made it flashy.

How many threads do you think we'll go through by the end of this season? My bet is 3.

The third episode of everything hasn't even aired yet, and we're nearing an OT 2, I dare dream we may even reach an OT4 if we continue nitpicking toilet scenes.

I think we can hit OT2 before Hyoka airs.

Why is Hyouka airing so long after everything else?

 

[Steroyd]

Why is Hyouka airing so long after everything else?

I'm assuming it's the thing that replaces Ozma's timeslot, just like Thermae Romae was to Black Rock Shooter.

This is just how I look at life in general.

Why is AKB0048 airing after Hyouka?

Spoiler

Did you know that AKB48 had 5 of the top 5 selling singles in Japan in 2011?

Isnt Ozma like two days before Hyouka?

Hopefully the quality of hyouka is enough to make us forget about Ozma.

 

[Steroyd]

I'm just assuming it because Ozma finishes and Hyouka's starting, completely forgot about AKB0048 lol.

Hopefully the quality of hyouka is enough to make us forget about Ozma.

Kyoani can wash away any bout of ugly art.

Looks like I found my next show to watch after Strawberry Panic.

Fujiko ep.03I'm starting to get a little bored with this show. I really want my original Lupin III Italian Job style anime back.

Fortunately there's ~40 years of Lupin stuff for people who feel this way to go back to.

I hope KyoAni can tell a good story.

Not the case. Ozma airs on WOWOW (a satellite TV channel that used to show a lot more anime than it does these days, unfortunately), whereas Hyouka is airing on UHF stations. There is no relation between the two series.

Hyouka is apparently taking over Mirai Nikki's timeslot on several channels and that only ended a few days ago, hence the delay - I usually use Moonphase's listings for this kind of thing but they don't seem to be correct so I can't confirm that (they seem to have the times mixed up for Tasogare Otome, Hyouka and Mouretsu Pirates, all of which air in a block on Sunday nights on Chiba TV).

It doesn't, however, necessarily follow that a late night anime will always follow another one in the schedules. AKB0048's timeslot on TV Kanagawa (the first station to air it next week) is occupied by infomercials for home exercise equipment this week, for instance!

That was good. Not as good as the first two episodes, but still good.

cutting up Fujiko's clothes... Way to go, man.

I love the ED.

You're going to be disappointed if you expect things to be as overt as that gif. It's almost entirely subtext.

Edit: Huh. You guys are amazingly quiet today.

Work's been hectic for me lately. Lots of OT. :-/

Lupin III: A woman named Fujiko Mine - The Girl and the Samurai.

Whilst I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous episode with Jigen, I thought episode three of Lupin was brilliant. The art was impressive as ever and I love how Fujiko and Goemon interacted with each other. In the Red Jacket series (and a few specials) Fujiko and Goemon both team up and work together on their own.

Spoiler

I thought it was a fitting beginning to their story with them as acquaintances and not rivals during their first meeting.

Their motives for being on the train were good and I especially enjoyed how

Spoiler

Goemon confessed to his target that he had been hired to kill him and took his side once he was betrayed by his "boss." I'm also glad he wasn't going around cutting people in half; I'm pleased none of the characters kill without good reason (as was made clear during the family friendly Red Jacket series.)

Goemon has always been a man of honor and it really showed in this episode, can't wait for the next!

I didn't enjoy this as much as 1 or 2, but I didn't dislike it. Also, Goemon

Spoiler

taking a look at the goods before goodbyes.

What a guy.

Also, that ending Goemon line,

Spoiler

completely the opposite of Jigen's notable line in Episode 2 as far as in "cool" factor goes. But thaaaat's our Goemon!

checkeredknight, in the series you've watched, does Goemon ever note that

Spoiler

he has cut something of worth (lol)

Oh. How did I not notice that it has ten arms? I guess I'm not a mathematician either.

This show has been weird in the past but this is just...yeah. I vastly prefer this side of the series to the serious stuff that wound up taking over at the end of the first season, although it still isn't a show I'd really recommend.

 

[dakkumauji]

Late, but hey I was asleep.

I found all this talk about Accel World's toilets to probably be the best discussion about the show so far. Can hardly wait to see what episode 3 brings us!

Wait, did the toilet MOVE in this screen? Why isn't it against the wall?! The rabbit hole! >_<

See! It's not just British people!

Protip for all future anime watching. Imagine everyone is a lesbian. This technique has no downsides.

But that would make everything worse.

 

[Ultimadrago]

This is the best arguments for CG setpieces/backgrounds I've ever seen. I'm gonna end up watching yet another bad show aren't I?

And at the end of the day, isn't that what we all want?

 

[Jex]

50 posts per page now. 50 posts per page forever!

Everyone knows that 50 posts per page is the only truth in the universe. That's why no-one wants to be post 50, because they know that their post will be consigned to the bottom of the page.

I think the bathroom was designed as some sort of impossible to solve puzzle to be used in bizarre social experiments. How people interact with the bathroom will reflect upon their society.

I think the bathroom wasn't designed at all. Instead someone said "This shot is going to be in a bathroom with the guy by the sink. This shot will be with the guy on the toilet" and no attempt was made to match them up.

 

[RurouniZel]

So this morning, I had a massive headache, probably sinus related or something. But then I used my iPod to listen to Eri Kitamura's sexy-as-hell voice and my headache went away.

Yep, I'm lost. ;_;

I really like this silly show. It's overly dramatic and crazy, but it's the sort of stupid fun that just hits all the right notes for me.

Clearly, but I like to imagine that from an in-universe perspective, my suggestion is what actually happened. It's more interesting that way.

 

[Jex]

Further proof that the Toilet is not flush with the wall!

Stop it, your hurting my mind.

Let's take a look at this shot again:

Notice how the dividers for the last two stalls are significantly thinner than the first two stalls? Why? What's going on? That's not how distance perspective works either. The way depth is perceived is all wrong!

It's best never to look at anime with your eyes. You might be horrified.

 

[Hitokage]

Visual medium!

It's kinda pointless without visuals though.

Discussing a visual medium without visuals is generally a bad idea!

A sexy voice cleared your sinuses?

Maybe I should try the stuff!

 

[Jex]

Speaking of emma, my friend had the manga and it looks suitably interesting. I might very well buy the series. Its the sort of thing I like.

I feel like the question I have to follow this up with is - what don't you like?

Yep, especially since it's a good show. Who cares about 1 or 2 oversights?

It's not really 1 or 2 oversights. It's practically the definition of failed art!

I'll be switching back to Ruka in time. Just wanted to show my hype for TTT2.

 

[Jex]

Moribito suffers from the fact that no-one in the West is familiar with the novel series and some misleading marketing. I suspect that, in a country where the novels are relatively successful, most people watching the TV show would know it's more of a fantasy anthropology series dedicated to the world and its customs.

Production IG, on the other hand, produced a trailer showing off the action sequences from the first few episodes. Plus with Kamiyama coming off Stand Alone Complex at the time, I think many people expected there to be much more action than there was.

Moribito has its charms, but it's definitely not what you'd expect it to be.

Moribitio is a great show, some people just don't like it because they have no patience and demand a fight scene in every episode.

 

[Haly]

Moribitio is a great show, some people just don't like it because they have no patience and demand a fight scene in every episode.

That's not fair.

I can like it and demand a fight scene in every episode at the same time.

Multitasking.
