Gargantia: 07 & 08

These episodes... did nothing but harm my opinion of the series. It feels like everybody is being stupid, not thinking things through, and its hurting the series to me. Plus, the entire love story is feeling forced.

People weren't kidding about pushing limits. That's just irrumatio, except with a popsicle that somehow squirts.

unlikable characters doing uninteresting things. really boring.

Totsuka is pretty likable. And the popular guy isn't that bad. The show could work if they just cut back on Hiki's monologues.

Well, aside from two seasons last year, the block had mostly been putting out crap for the last couple of years, so this isn't really that much of a step down.

I'd rather noitaminA air reruns that no one here pays attention to than stuff like Guilty Crown and Psychopass.

It's unfortunate that the timeslot has degenerated like this, but it seems like Fuji TV has been conflicted for years between its original goal of appealing to audiences who don't normally watch anime and trying to make money from the people who actually pay for anime.

Yeah, at least with reruns, no further damage can really be done. It's all stuff that's already been aired before.

I think it's sad that noitaminA has fallen away from putting out the types of shows they did in the past, but a lot of that damage has already been done, and reruns are going to hurt the block less than airing another Guilty Crown or Black Rock Shooter would.

The only part that I find cruel is that they teased us last Spring and Summer by making it look like noitaminA was back with a vengeance, and then we got Robotics;Notes, Psycho Pass and a bunch of reruns.

The Tatami Galaxy Episode 1 Tennis Circle Cupid

When is the BD or dub release. Episode 1 was quite good. Although they talk kind of fast and I have to replay scenes over and over and the art is pretty atrocious to look at at times (poor Ozu, but hes kind of charming in an odd kind of way), it was still really enjoyable, funny, and much better than I was expecting. Akeshi and her laser eyes and personality was kind of memorable and the best part was the numerous Ozu/MC scenes. I hope it doesnt become only romance or something later on as more of these scenes need to happen, such an odd friendship rivalry or something.

ED is amazing.

Patlabor TV 2

I like how the tournament showed the different style of combat each character is inclined towards (or if they're not inclined to combat at all, as with Asuma and Yamazaki). Ohta favors his gun, Noa favors headlong rushing into close quarters, and Kanuka prefers to calmly observe and take advantage of her opponent's weaknesses. It says a lot about the kind of characters each of them are.



The films, and to a lesser extent the first OVA series, are Oshii exploring themes that are deeply personal to him. Though I don't know if "flip it on its head" really applies, since Oshii was one of the original creators of the franchise - this isn't a Urusei Yatsura situation.

If you liked the characters in the first film and find the concept of mundane mecha appealing, you'll probably find something to appreciate in the TV series even if it's not as profound as the films.

Huh? I actually didn't know Oshii was one of the original creators of the franchise, hah. I think I'll put this on the "plan to watch" list right after the OVA. Thanks for the answers!

After looking around a bit, Hummingbird still feels too rough around the edges to use as a main anime library right now, but I guess it has promise for people who like what it's offering. Call me again when it's out of beta.

--------------------

Also, this question may have been drowned out at the end of the last page: I know that Japanese TV works differently from, say, American TV, but when an anime gets a rerun, what kinds of timeslots do they use? Stuff that would otherwise be airing new series, or something else?

Pretty much yeah.

Also hummingbird reminds me of side scan sonar. Maybe I like fishing too much.

Dang how much do I have to compress my Makoto avatar for it to work? It would be nice if they told you the filesize limits somewhere.

Revolutionary Girl Utena 5

Can your pet skateboard? No? Chu-Chu makes your pet look like shit. SHIT!
Click to expand...

Well, I accidentally heard the dub while watching Utena, and I realized that Mickey (or is it Miki) is truly a man...and if he spoke English, everyone's ears would shatter into a million pieces.

It was also a little creepy how Touga was randomly showing off his chest to everyone. Who does that besides weird old men who believe people want to see their nasty-ass chest hairs?

Glad a new duel song appeared. I'll handle the darkness song as long we continue to acquire new songs. The animators really enjoy spending 45 seconds of the show playing that darkness song and showing Utena walking up some stairs.
