Ahaha, this post made me log in. Glad I'm not the only one that immediately thought of forced insertion during that seemingly somber and depressing moment.

Oh... I have messages? o__O

Acchi Kocchi 1-4 Re-watch

Forgot that the show goes after cuteness really quick (within the first 2 minutes). Also I always felt they needed to interact with the teacher more often.

So who's still excited for Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya in July?

I'm actually reading the manga now and I'm actually surprised by how good the art is. The character design for the most part is topnotch and the facial animations are amazing. That said, I'm not sure how well Silver Link is going to be able to adapt it. The mangaka is Hiroshi Hiroyama and it's apparent he's a decent illustrator. His style reminds me of Rei Hiroe to an extent, mainly the way he draws the faces and teeth at times. The story itself isn't fantastic but it's fun. I wasn't sure why Silver Link got it but then I started to read 2wei and it has a shitton of ecchi. I don't know how the action scenes will hold up though.

I thought this was pretty good. Haruto
losing the girl of his dreams without ever telling her how he felt
feels like an unusual start to a mecha series, which is good, because a lot of this was by the book. As in, meet Haruto, the loser who finds the super robot during the enemy attack on his home colony. Particularly awful was the villain and his team, who seem to be comprised of every over used mecha anime villain cliche not related to women or old men.

Even so, the last ten seconds were crazy, the episode itself was good, the mecha did not seem 300% crappy CG like the ones in MJP, and the prompt "Do you Resign as a Human?" was interesting.

I'll keep watching.

I am, after getting so addicted to Fate/Stay (the VN) and Fate/Zero, I really wanted a story where Illya isn't (fate/stay spoiler)
doomed due to her short life span, and getting kill in other 2 arcs.

Black★Rock Shooter (OVA)


Best animation in any girls' love story I've ever seen. This was quite an entertaining OVA! The small talk among Mato and Yomi along with the action segments in-between all made this worthwhile. It also teaches the best lesson of all:
Don't take your friends/lovers for granted
!

The TV series would have been several times better if they at least kept the OVA designs. I will never get over this.

Battleship Yamato 2199- 1
I'm kinda mixed on the first episode. I very much like the art direction but I hate the CGI. The movements in space for the battleships is way too precise and speedy. There doesn't seem to be any weight or sense of physics to it compared to say Battlestar Galactica. The story was fine until the end when some Gundam-level shit happens. The direction at times feels fine but then there is this comedic stuff that doesn't really fit in. The tone can be comedic but then dead serious and it feels off. I do like the character designs though.

Heartcatch Precure 20

Well okay. It seems that
the 3rd fairly has shown up. His name is Potpourri. Everyone seems to think he's adorable. That cry while he was flying was annoying as hell though. Worse than Porun's cry. But hopefully now that he's with Precure he'll stop crying. And this also means the 3rd Precure will soon show up. WHO WILL IT BE?! Hopefully Itsuki. Or it's just there for Cure Moonlight, but I doubt that.

Tsubomi during the photo shoot was hilarious. I know how she feels though. I often look awkward as shit in photos cause I can't seem to force a natural smile. And that skirt Momoka was wearing...hhnnnnnnggggghhhhh. And I have discriminating taste with my hnghs. I don't just throw them around like SOME people here.

Well... I'm still slightly extremely irritated I had the biggest shock of the episode spoiled for me, but otherwise, yeah, that was pretty enjoyable. Loved the dialogues between Red and Chamber.

In the future I guess I'll just completely abandon this board when a new episode comes out, until I've had a chance to watch it.

Its basically the Gundam SEED opening except they sped up the Flay parts and she wasn't insane.
 
Went to the Cherry Blossom Festival in SF today and picked up some stuff from Kino.


Picked up the first volume of the manga for Senyuu and Yahari as well as super cheap CDs of the xxxHolic OP, a JAM Project single and a Sengoku Basara OST for 3 bucks each~


Also picked up more One Piece figures, picking up another Luffy and another Zoro. At least I didn't get another damn Shanks.


Bonus older Law-kun figure.

Also I kinda wish I am going next Sunday since apparently Kylee is performing next week :<

Potpourri is cool and I'll fight anyone dissing him!

Heartcatch is the most :firehawk season of Precure.

Sounds good to me. While I might not have my (user)namesake to the term, I quite like those kind of moments/stories as well.

This episode got me good. :(

I thought it was pretty well done so I liked it.

What do you think of Erika now? Personally I think she's pretty awesome after that initial hiccup in the first episode I had with her.

Yay! Another person who likes the OVA. :)

Oh yeah, that's both this weekend and the next, huh... there's a group going up on Sunday the 21st, but I'm not sure if I want to bother driving all the way up there or not.

Chamber's beams of death that make people dissolve into itty bitty particles... I'd seen people already mention beams in general unspoiled before, and that was fine, since hey, you'd expect a super robot to have some kind of beam weapon, right? But the detail about disintegration lasers would have been a lot cooler to see for the first time in the moment than have spoiled ahead of time

Oh I like her a LOT better now. Her and Tsubomi have really developed a good chemistry with each other. Tsubomi's initial timidness seemed to bring out the worst in Erika, but she's been growing ever since she's become friends with her.

Just watched Xam'd Lost Memories and wow, it was simply fantastic.

The characters, world and music were simply excellent.

Anything else similar to it out there?

Nope, truly one of a kind! Kylee's theme song music for the Xamdou series made it more special!

Looks like 4:00pm on the 21st, wherever the main stage is for the festival.

Looking at my program, it'll be next Sunday, April 21st at the Peace Plaza Stage (the one with the giant pagoda) at 4 pm.

I would want to go but it's quite a lot of effort of going to Japantown.


Awesome! I'll be there!

So, so bad. Now even the villains are transforming into cellphones.
That has to be the most janky, soulless introduction of new plastic shit in the entire franchise, and the new stock footage is suitably bad. Mana's wink during her attack pretty much cements that the show is 100% self-aware about what a Mary Sue she is.

Save us, new villain.

Ah yes that.
Well, was it in the OT thread? Because stay the hell out of that thread until you have caught up with the show. Same goes for any OT anime thread.

Heartcatch Precure 21

If before I watched this you had told me that this episode would be about
the three fairies scouting for the third Precure,
I would have audibly groaned. Holy shit, was it so much better than that. Hell, I'll go as far as to say it's one of my favorites. The part where
Potpourri tells Ban-kun that he's the third Precure while he's trying to come up with the stance for the third Precure for his manga
was the fucking best. Fight scene was lame though. Felt like they just shoehorned in whatever they could to fit the episode. The teacher being afraid of monsters causes her heart flower to wilt? Really? At least even Cobraja agreed it was stupid. But they think all the reasons are stupid.

Anyway, they still
haven't found the third Precure. It's not the teacher, Ban-kun, the photo girl, or the soccer girl.
Wonder what will happen.

Please be Itsuki. It feels like it's gonna be Itsuki. That would be so fucking awesome.

This ain't doing enough for me. Sensible girl and two idiots with minor levels of yuribait is about it.

The wideface is offputting. And it's not even that wide.

I'll give it the three episode rule (even though i generally don't adhere to it anyway).

What's with Japan and jokes about S&M?

[Battleship Yamato 2199 2-3]-

I was expecting this to be hard scifi. I was wrong.

That said, the main gun is awesome. Dat boom effect. I also found it interesting that the Captain mentions the gun is only for self defense and also that there hasn't been any mentions of nukes. The anime definitely feels like commentary on WW2 and the events following that.

Remember: the ironclad rule of new Cure speculation is that anyone who doesn't have a unique hair color is an NPC in that world.

We all got fucking trolled by

I'm at a really weird point in my life right now where I need to reevaluate what my goals are, and what the hell I'm supposed to do. I've cut off as many distractions as possible in order to focus.

I won't be around.

Come back to us when you get things in order ok?
