Crime Edge 12

Holy shit, that was awesome!

I love how the final boss is a little assassin girl. Best part is they aren't pulling any punches against her. It's deliciously brutal.

Who do you think you are, Zoro?

Channeling the powers of a psychopath serial killer is always fun, which is made all the better when the guy has the power to

enhance the pain of each cut exponentially.

This show still has better animation than it has any right to have.

Because it's in your browser cache now. Pixiv's server requires a pixiv.net referrer for image file requests.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the explanation. I was really confused on what was going on, lol.

I'm starting to feel like a pretty bad CS student though. :<

I do too, but those coffers have got to be running low by now with both Hyouka and Tamako not meeting financial expectations. Wiki is saying they're doing an adaptation of a random light novel soon, so hopefully they put a good director like Takemoto behind it, but I'd anticipate some degree of otakuchum for the foreseeable future.

If I remember correctly, all they have announced is KyoAni shop stuff (Free, Kyoukai no Kanata, Chuunibyou).

hummingbird.me just got a pretty nifty front page redesign! There's finally a feed for friends' activity and a panel where you can update your recent series without having to visit your watchlist page. It's not as pretty as I'd like yet, but it's functional and it's a huge step toward it being a definitive MAL-killer.

Nice, but I'm still going to end up updating my watchlist on both sites at this point.

Guess I should update my hummingbird

[peaceiscloser]

Well to be honest when you think about it there are only maybe 8 episodes worth of good content in SAO anyway. If this second half continues the way its been, whoooooo boy I dunno.


ALSO, regarding SAO, what episode triggered firehawk's comments? So I can know when it is okay to read them?

I think it was the second to last episode.

 

[madp]

I noticed that a little while ago too. I like it; I really like that update panel. Still want more rating increments though.

While this is an improvement, there are still a lot of little things I'd like to see. I actually went wild and posted a wishlist a while back (scroll down the page to see)

The only reason I still update my MAL. Also, I guess, the lingering fear that Hummingbird will eventually go under.

Yeah, well, let's just say there's a reason almost everybody here finds this show terrible and you're right in the middle of it.

I never used MAL and I didn't knew about hummingbird... This looks nice! Unfortunately it looks like there are already over 8000 people waiting for an invite, I won't get one for a while >_>

I was thinking of Kyoukai. What is "shop stuff"? Does it mean it'll probably be bad?

Go ahead and register even though the registration makes it sound like you'll have to wait in line. You click an activation link in a confirmation email and it gives you the opportunity to enter the code there.

Lol, I can't say whether they'll be bad or not, but I'm pretty sure all of them are adaptations of light novels that KyoAni is publishing. I don't think Free is a direct adaptation and Chuunibyou was apparently a very loose adaptation as well, but they still serve to promote KyoAni's new publishing effort IMO.

Revolutionary Girl Utena 8

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Cuuuuuurry. Took 'em no time to get to the eggs, though. There's quite a bit of recycled animation so far. Not that I'm really complaining, I mean, I'm only 8 episodes in, here. What's the deal with Miki's watch? I know its symbolic but like I don't even get why he's doing it on a surface level. Is he taking student council meeting minutes?

Uh, did Papillon and Lightning really swap bodies? Because of spicy curry? This show, man. It's too early in its run to have such a careless disregard for the laws of causality! "Even my own mother has never slapped me!" Well, see here, Amuro, maybe if you'd stop giving Captain Bright so much lip-- Oh, er, uh, nevermind. Wrong show.

Well I'm glad Nanami at least acknowledges that it shouldn't be possible for curry to do this. Is everyone in this show a ninja? Or can they all just apparate into a scene at will like a buncha goddamn Harry 'n Potter wizzurds? Actually, this school being Hogwarts would explain a lot about the plot. Harry 'n Potter and the Rose Bride.

THE EFF? Guy's just like "You cannot return home until you get this spice." Better hope they sell that shizz in Hogsmede, Nanami. This show is so surreal I can't get my head around it. Did they just board a plane to India? Is that the airplane into the sunset.jpg from GAF? What is this show about again?

Elephants. Falling down cliffs. At some point, I begin to understand that I can't decide if I find Anthy's perspective disconcerting or simply grating as fuck. She is that person you ask what kind of pizza they want and waste another fucking forty minutes of your life drawing the word pepperonis from their lips.

Fucking surfing pikachus I don't even know anymore. At this point, Nanami, you need to seriously consider that God just hates you and will send doomephants after you forever. Because if these things will jump down cliffs and learn to surf to get you, you are never, ever going to be free. CHU CHU IS THE DEVIL.

I have literally no explanation for what happened in this episode. Surreal somehow fails to be a good enough description for the dadaist series of insanity that transpired.

They also made it so you can increase the episode count on shows listed with an unknown total which was really starting to shit me. Good stuff.

Show gets ambitious, then doesn't reach the bar it set for itself, even ignoring the cellphone problem.

Oh, and Reika isn't a robot. She's a pokemon. "Michi! Michi! Michi!" Kinda like Nao's "Chokkyuu Shoubu! Chokkyuu Shoubu!"

Dang, the Nahel Argama is still in use? Thing's been around since ZZ Gundam! Also, is it just me, or is Riddhe's MS a blue Methuss? And I can't believe that I sort of understand the explanation for how "his thoughts control the Gundam". Like, they explained it, and I went "Oh that makes sense." then I was like "Wait, no it doesn't. Not to normal people who haven't sat through 150+ episodes of UC Gundam in the last 8 months."

Man, Audrey Brune is so obviously

At least the second season plus the movie is done by AIC, though they use CG on the witches more often and it looks AWFUL.

That sounds unfortunate. I might yell at Gonzo quality, butt they know where the priorities lie. 3D butts could kill me.

Apparently Little Witch Academia is coming to North America with some nice extras.
