The Supernatural animu adaptation had Carry On My Wayward Son as its ED theme.

MadP, I'm also a HUGE fan of Gravity. We truly are bros, no doubt.

Excerpt from the ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D interview at Fanime with Crunchyroll:
U: I got a pocket English conversation guide and studied it before coming here.
2RASH: In that book, there was a chapter on “Relationship Trouble”, and the [coffee pick-up line] came from there.
U: That’s right. Asking a girl out for a coffee. There are few pick up lines that we practiced, too.
2RASH: He used it on an Asuka cosplayer at Fanime and she replied “Anta Baka?” She was a little embarrassed, I think.
(all laugh)
U: That was fun. Very good memory of Fanime.

That's cool! But I can't even keep up with the conversations here so I don't see myself joining the frantic IRC. Someone should post a 'Risette Says' section on particular topics as they are being talked about at this place. For example...

That's true. First thing I imagined for this 'sound FX' technique when announced was a choir doing the work... maybe there was not enough budget!

Does this means Ben is coming back to writing articles and Lupin the Third: A Woman Called Fujiko Mine didn't actually kill him?

lol someone is trying to drive a wedge in the romance. There's no room for a third wheel! Now, heeeere comes the Mein in Buraku!

All of this love web-ery is reminding me of AnoHana. Maybe there's something to these "ano" shows.
I should learn Japanese someday

The Episode title is the most DUH thing I've seen in this anime. But this show is so cute that I'm just going to excuse it.

I'm surprised Third Wheel isn't freaking out that her rival is wearing no pants. Third wheel is seriously a masochist for throwing herself in this situation.

Wait, are the predestined lovers SERIOUSLY surprised at that revelation? Really?

In case someone is crazy enough to have an Xbox Live Gold Japan account, some game called "Joyride Turbo" is their free game for that PS+ like thingy they're doing.

JP PSN+ is pretty shitty but it has the same number of games as the Western PSN+. Just that the games are crappy. It has SIREN right now and a ton of PSP and Vita games.

chuu is a loooooong way away from f*g but I get what you're trying to say.

For an example, Kagami is an eroge-chuu while firehawk12 is a mono no aware-chuu.

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 5

Before I begin let me take this moment to say: I miss ZZ Gundam. The ZZ was not as cool as the Zeta, but man do I miss Judau and the gang foiling Glemy and Haman's plans. Especially Roux. COME BACK ROUX or I'll
be forced to rebel against my country and use clones who will be endearing and tragic until you shoot me down!

Ms. Marida is the best thing about Gundam Unicorn's cast so far. Although the annoying fat guy has his moments, too. And I like to pretend that the lady with the hilariously masculine face is an older Nina Purpleton because I can see Nina as having a manly face and also becoming an even douchier person in her old age.

It's been like, 40 years or whatever since the original MSG came out, right? And in all this time, not one person has dared depict Bright Noa with sclera. Not. A. One. Guy is super awesome, though. If he'd been around to raise his son, I wonder if he wouldn't've turned out to be such a douchebag.

Also, Bright Noa is the most genre savvy character in any Gundam show ever. He was able to figure out that Judau was a Newtype the first time he met him because Judau's pattern of running into the Gundam was just like Kamille and Amuro's, and now he's basically flat out telling Banagher to grow a pair because accidental acquisition of a Gundam is the first step on the path to getting to bang hot chicks, fight Char Aznable, and make your mind one with the infinite expanses of God's cosmos.

In other words, Bright Noa is telling Banagher to man the fuck up. Why couldn't Bright be in EVERY Gundam series? Having him there to slap Flit, Shinn, and Setsuna would've basically altered the course of those series. Particularly AGE. If anyone had ever slapped Flit, millions of people would not have died.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Beltachika! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Well, this series is officially out of the running for best UC Gundam now. IT'S KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!!! Man, I haven't seen him in FOREVER. He looks just as douchey as ever! Oh, Kai.

Even though I'll never see either of them again, I choose to believe that CCA SPOILERS
Amuro isn't dead. He probably had amazing make up sex with Sayla and then they high tailed it for Jupiter or something. THE END.

That's all well and good, Bright, but no way in hell did any mobile suit ever choose to be piloted by that dumbfuck Katz, AKA the worst male character in UC Gundam. Ensign Riddhe is the new Glemy Toto.

Banagher Links is so stupid that every stupid thing he does costs someone their life. He may not be AS stupid and terrible as Katz but BOY IS HE TRYING. No wait nevermind maybe that's Ensign Riddhe. Jeez, sure are a lot of idiots in this show. Thank goodness for people like Audrey, Bright, and Marida to make smart choices as this show goes on.

LAWL, yeah, Riddhe, you might wanna think twice about dissing Gundams when you're piloting a semi-Gundam yourself, pal.

Only one more episode before I join the crowd of poor fools waiting to see the end, huh?

Madoka Magica 11-12 (END)

Interesting. I'm going to have to let this sink in a bit, so expect full reactions later. I'll probably do a full series writeup tomorrow, so that'll be the perfect time to due a full reflection on the ending. It'll take time to fully gather my thoughts on it anyway.

I will say this, it was much bigger, more bombastic, and
metaphysical
than I expected. I was imagining something smaller, more traditional, and quite frankly
less hopeful
. I feel like the ending was a bit too deus ex machina in the detail, but very emotionally resonant and on point. Had me tearing up on a couple occasions. Overall, I think the emotional aspect is far more important than the perhaps a bit weak plot detail, so it doesn't really matter. I really liked it, I think. I'll talk specifics more tomorrow.

Also, just read there's going to be a movie with a new, original story coming out? What the what? Really not sure how they pull that off without ruining the impact of the end. I mean, I see a possible storyline, but it isn't all that interesting. We shall see.

That's sung by Aya (probably my favorite female rock singer from Japan) and it's the only reason I bought the OST for the show (it was the only way to get it).

I wasn't hip to its jive, I guess.

So I realized at last that Gaming Side does have an odd dislike for anime for some reason, considering its gaming side by reading this thread: here.

But then again someone did bring up Sword Art Online.

But then again I cannot believe some of the things I've seen posted in that thread.

Hoo boy I read that Kotaku article retroactively after I had seen the show. Those were some real laughs, and I even liked Sword Art Online.

Honestly, strip away its supernatural elements and think its a good mystery show with a dash of Game of Thrones like power play stuff, iirc. (I haven't seen game of thrones but I hear that's a big part right? ) You'll likely see my episode impressions here soon.

And yeah is gaming. :/

Here I'm not sure if you meant Liu Bei or Lu Bu, but either way, they're both better as girls. Tee hee.

Both Ikki Tousen and Koihime Musou feature loli versions of Zhuge Liang. I'm not precisely sure why he's is always a loli, but I still find it entertaining.

Danganronpa Prologue - Chapter 1

Not the most creative of stories (reminds me of the little I've played of Corpse Party, though not really frightening) but it was certainly thrilling to actually feel like you're solving a mystery and getting an incredibly satisfying yet completely horrific reward for doing so. That being said, I have no clue how well if at all this will transition into a 13 episode TV series since the first case took me like an hour to go through. There'll certainly be pacing issues but I hope they can nail the tenseness of the trials.
Click to expand...

I loved both Danganronpa games, but a big part of their appeal was their incredibly stylish presentation. I'm a little apprehensive about whether the anime adaptation will be able to replicate that effectively.

Fantasista Doll looks really disappointing. I was hoping for a new Angelic Layer type show, but the PV just looks boring and plain. Definitely not going to bother watching it now, so that's one less Summer show! :p
