Lit Girl is also a lame ripoff of the superior Lit Girl so she can't possibly win.

We all know Ringo's
is true meaning of love!
upskirt
Ringo is pretty awesome too. It's pretty much a tie at the point where I'm at in the show.
I didn't realize love was so depressing.

Yeah, I got desynched at that point, taking their separation as a new obstacle to overcome, rather than as the end of the story of that summer.
That would have avoided my mixed reaction, since it would have just been straightforwardly bittersweet, without feeling like the show suddenly told me I should turn off the sad now.
But...hmm.
Then I probably would have been wishing she'd come back somehow.
The more I mull this over, the more I think my reaction was just a case of some arbitrary expectations on my part.
The point of the show is the experiences they had that summer, not what happens next summer.

Must be all the shows about being bros this season.
Kagerou himself didn't seem to really be interested in her, but we didn't get much info about whether the families would be pissed or something, unless I'm just forgetting.

Ano Hana got licensed by NISA, announced at their press event going on right now.
Crank up some Secret Base!

LMAO... Spoken like somebody who has NEVER been in PonyGAF.
We all like to slag on AnoHana here but it IS one of the biggest anime properties in the past few years or so.
Sorry guys but...I'm gonna buy this.

Awesome. I will buy it just for the ED
Considering NISA's track record, I feel like some kind of ghosting joke is appropriate here.

Why would be sorry about this? I'm in for the BD day one too. I hope it has some fancy extras this time around then the usual nice but eh NISA stuff.

Seriously. When I say this is a show that actually feels planned as a complete text and not a bunch of people mashing random crap together into a single TV series, I mean it! They knew how to write a good "mono"-romcom-"aware" (someone will find a new portmanteau, I'm sure
), and they should be applauded for it!It's really the whole mono no aware/:firehawk thing though. And your reaction at the end is exactly what they were trying to satisfy as well, which is why they tacked on that ending. They produced the conditions where you wanted to see that happen and when it did, you were probably happy that it did end that way, I'm sure.

I asked around, and apparently the manga goes insane after this. This sold fairly well too, might get a second season.
It is truly a shameful thing.

One Piece 9
These early episodes sure like to introduce annoying characters: first Luffy, now Usopp. Hopefully they become more tolerable down the line.
The storyboarder of this episode really likes slanted perspectives, to a disorienting degree.

Honestly, nobody changes much for a very long while. As prominent as the theme of 'NAKAMA' is, One Piece is hardly character-driven. With that said, and the flip-side, it's world-building is first-class.
You guys have some kind of fixation with Secret Base.
Vidro Moyou 4life.
It only really starts getting good after Usopp's arc. Stand strong.

Ano Hana's OP is better than its ED.
Welp, now I have Puzzle on loop and there's no signs of stopping anytime within the next 8 hours.
Usopp has the worst intro arc of any character, but he becomes more tolerable with time and eventually has the most character development of any of the Strawhat crew.
Let me guess, DVD and sub only?
Dat omnipotence.
Considering Menma's voice is already irritating,a english dub will make it worse.

Does the Buggy arc count as the Zoro intro arc? Because I would say that's worse. Kuro is at least a cooler antagonist. He was what made it a "just one more episode" show for me.
No details or anything except for the fact that it exists.
Holy shit. another show has the same song as ED?

Truth.
Yup. Kyō no Go no Ni precedes Ano Hana, though.
...I'm tempering my blade. This movement will not gain anymore traction.
Oh right, Ano Natsu
Ano Natsu 12
This show could have ended at 10 and I'd probably think more highly of it. till the end the whole alien business just seemed completely detached from the rest of the show and just feels unnecessary. Then again, my latent immunty to :firehawk might apply too. Still, my biggest beef is still that I never gave a crap about Ichika at all, which would actually be a huge problem if the rest of the show weren't so well done. As it is, I really did like it. Solid enough.
Remon is and will forever be the best character.

Hey, don't you say a thing about Nokemon.
Edit: Wait, I actually knew the song preceded those shows. What am I saying.
The simple plot actually SHOULD HAVE worked well with the 11 episode format. But instead they decided to go on totally retarded tangents that they never bothered following up on and instead felt half baked. I'm really bitter about how it all went down.
Of course, diplomacy is but a waste of time. (Of course, I'm joking)
Are there any other examples of songs being used across the spectrum like this? I honestly wish it was done more.
Nah, it's just that combining child death with all the usual romance trappings is one of the easiest and most effective tricks in the book. I mean, Hunger Games just made $150 mil in one weeked you know

Its not really child death. Its more nostalgia (or forced nostalgia in this case). Its why Square Enix has been able to keep afloat all these years.
Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick 24
Wow Shiro went off, those cosmic powers sure can work wonders. Appropriately, Akio Sugino was the animation director for this episode which ended up being the most visually impressive of the show. Definitely added to what was a key episode in the show leading into the final 2 episodes, particularly considering the events that took place. Without going into to much detail, the Federation Army has brought its full force down on the Moad population and things start looking pretty grim for everyone. Full scale war has broken out.
As I mentioned in my previous post there has been a noticeable visual improvement during the second half in the show. After looking more into it, apparently the show went off air for about a year at one point, so perhaps there were some staff changes or budget increases during that time. Looking at the episode list, its a pretty fucked up spot to go on hiatus for such a long time. I wonder what caused that to happen?

Ok, this episode managed to get me a bit pumped during the actual fight. Previous episodes only did something for me when the
but this one grabbed me more.
To be quite honest, the music in this show bothers me somewhat. I like the idea of them singing as they fight, but I don't like the execution at all because of the type of music their singing is accompanied by (too much tunz-tunz-tunz). If it was something ArTonelico-like, I'd be a lot happier.
I'm really considering grabbing the BRD release over here when it comes out, even if it's nothing fancy, though we do get it dubbed.

This NISA edition isn't half bad.
