Oh the new AMV Hell is out? I didn't know it got released until now.
At least watch it for the Hercules from Fate part. The singing parts from the Type-moon videos goes so well with it lol.

I don't know about that. The entire time Emi has been completely Tsun. While we've seen her move away from Tsun, we haven't seen a hint of Dere while the chemistry has been running strong for Chiho. I'm predicting either a Chiho victory or no winner.
Two more eps then you're out of Guyana.

HENNEKO Author: Anime's Foreign Product Placement to Be Removed
Here's the scene in question:
I won't lie, I wouldn't have even known this didn't become a news story. Also, another JC Staff series with random Korean products being shown wwwwwwwwwwww

Was he the one that bitched about it? Weird to lament the animation workers plight when you give them more work over nothing.

Goddamn shit just got real. I come back from a nice dinner and take a relaxing shower and got ready to watch an awesome show then THIS happens. I knew from the title in the episode preview that it might be a little sappy but wow.

Soul Eater 10 Dub
And with that I'm "caught up" to where Toonami aired last night. It'll be odd watching a dubbed series new on a weekly basis when the dub/sub are both finished and the manga is way farther ahead. I kind of want to relive the old days and experience it live, though I'll probably break down when I need a new manga to read.

Suite Precure 23 END
Wild kid runs away from home!
WELL, that was one big story about love, friends fighting, and battery. It featured a cast who took time to really gel with each other due to issues that happened before the series started.
The original music wasn't that great, so they reused some of Heartcatch's music. A question that has popped into my head is people eating cupcakes. THEY ONLY EAT THE ICING and go "Well fuck, this is a great cupcake", what assholes. There's more to it than Icing.
While it had some rough patches, it was still fun to watch till this end, and I enjoyed what I have watched

Ellen/Siren repels the heart bond talk, but loses once Mamoru realizes what his dad made for him. She repents for her sins and gets accepted by the duo

Sounds more like a guy being irritated his property is being used to promote another.
Okay, that just made my day. Carnival Phantasm as a musical like that would be amazing.

He was totally okay with it being any other kind of product placement, though.

Attack on Titan 5 is already up on crunchyroll! Finally time to see what people have been spoiling for me all fucking week.
Huh, I interpreted it as more "ok that's normal for anime but I don't like it in my stuff."
Thanks for the heads up.

There is nothing like a co-op "time crisis" ( named zombie crisis in the episode ) party to ease the mind of a depressed idol.
That and theme parks.
I'm jealous of you that still have +160 episodes left of gintama to watch.

His point was more that it was product placement for something nobody knew anything about I guess. That's not necessarily xenophobia... sounds more like 'why bother even wasting the slot then'

Sound of the Sky 7.5
I understand this was a BD special but I wonder why it was set at 7.5 and not 6.5, just seemed extra jarring after what happened last episode to have something so lighthearted and cheesy. Just like a lot of specials there was a sort of pandering and this time it was to :SDBurton: fans which is fine but outside of that this episode felt a bit weak. It resolved
which I guess never happened in the series proper? Being cheesy and over dramatic must've been fun for the VAs but the same gag over and over wore a little thin which is a shame because this show did manage a little comedy here and there rather well.

Attack on Titan Episode 5 First Battle - Battle of Trost (1)
I was all hyped for this episode and somehow ended up more hyped even while waiting for the delayed episode to appear on Crunchyroll, then to see it as it started with all awesome and epic motivated Eren, even inspiring Jean (more moments of these two please), some Connie and even newcomer Thomas, I was excited to see this Battle of Trost go down. Unfortunately the anime is still lead by an extremely questionable writing direction with a writer who seems to just want to make this one of the most awful stories to ever be animated.
The music this episode really sounded like the person decided to revisit a few pieces of the Guilty Crown ost and borrow select moments adding a Shingeki no Kyojin twist to them, the one that sounds extremely like it was inspired from Guilty Crown had to be certain parts of the song playing with Pixis.

First why introduce us to Thomas and have him with Eren making him all happy and then give us a good scene with Armin too, only to have them all watch Thomas be devoured like that. It came out of nowhere and caused me to hurt cause I had even got attached to him, expecting him to be like a happy version of Jean 
And then after that, I dont even want to repeat what happened but it was awful, made me step away from the computer and not even come back to the episode for a bit. I dont even want to finish this anime anymore and may just drop it. Eren losing multiple limbs and then being ate up and dying?! He is the hero, the protagonist, he's supposed to be invincible slaying titans like their buttered toast and what not, not the one being smashed like an ant. (oh and of course, Failkasa is safe...). I didnt sign up to get teary eyed from this anime. I wanted good feelings and confidence boosts in morale. Its a shonen action anime after all be more like it please with whoever is rising to take Erens place, I guess Armin or Rivaille? I doubt Ill be able to look at screencaps of Eren for a few days this is like part 2 jjba all over again for me.

I have no idea. It should be so cut and dry in this case.
No. In fact, I'll make it even better!

Ah Plastic Little. One of my not-so-guilty pleasures. tita is lovely and the show was one of those well animated classic 90's OVAs I hold so dear. Even a jiggle counter. Thanks ADV!
It doesn't matter if it happens. Best girl is not necessarily winning girl!
Shit hasn't gotten real yet!
I loved Gargantia episode 5! Seeing Ledo work hard to assimilate into the crew and watching the crew basically embrace him with open arms made me smile. The two or three episodes of tension were completely worth it, since the contrast between then and now makes this episode so much more heartwarming. The little stories within this episode also had their own ups and downs, which did a good job keeping the episode going at a brisk pace.
I guess it helps that I watched it after the first two OVAs of YKK, which are also pretty great. Alpha is so cute! Overall, I've had a very enjoyable hour-and-a-half of anime.

My understanding is that some of the backgrounds in the episode were outsourced to a Korean studio, and there was some kind of Internet backlash over their inclusion of a K-pop poster.

Ritsuko episode.
It was quite good actually.
But they missed the secret flag events leading to ritsuko actually becoming an idol again .. Well that's what the games are for i guess .
BUt i told you 4 month ago to play the games , sdburton ..
The games are EVEN better !
This oav is great but i'm telling you it ain't anything on what's happening in the games .
DO IT . Play the games ! And prepare a way to survive the amount of :sdburton you'll receive

I tried watching that once, but abandoned it before the end of the first episode... never have gone back.
The sea levels have changed. That's why it looks different.
True, but it's not yuri!
I agree with you. There are still reasons to have hope. It's only firehawk12 who wants to look at it
on the darkest possible terms... and yes, things are bad, and might get worse, but I don't see that as any reason to think that humanity is doomed. As I said, I think he's just thinking of YKK and such way too much, while watching this. It's dark... but not completely hopeless. It's not YKK.
It would, darnit! They could make it great!
They may not be Panzers, but anything WWII-styled is "cool" for a significant fanbase in Japan. Particularly things about German tanks and guns and such. So yeah, because Panzers.
Seriously though, nothing about the setting makes sense, in terms of location and objects and such. Remember that image with the list on it... the German uniforms are the least of the problems.
I hope that the new anime is a sequel, not a reboot... I've heard it could be either. I'd rather see new stuff, I think.
Either way though, it's a definite must-watch!
But there'll probably never be another season of the anime, unfortunately (?).
... You've never heard that term, really? It's a World War II phrase. Common term since then too, at least in the US...
I hope the series stays like that! Anime needs more such things.
Yeah, that's what it stands for. Comes from WWII.
rip? Why? How is that bad for the franchise?
I mean, it certainly couldn't get much WORSE, not after how terrible and completely off-tone the OVA was! As long as it's about as good as season 2, it'll be fine.
Part of it's because of what 7th said, but it's also because he's not like any shonen hero. He's more annoying than plenty of them. And that the series is terribly written all-around, of course, is surely part of the reason, I don't think that's all of it.
I mean, as you could probably expect, part of it for me is the writing, with how he always ends up saving Misaka, who of course can't ever completely protect herself; no matter how strong her powers are, of course the male characters are stronger, and she needs to be protected by them. Quite sexist stuff. Of course anime is loaded with such things, but it's as bad or worse than usual here, and there's not much of anything good about the franchise to balance it out, either.
No, it's just being what it always was. It's apparently just making that even more obvious now, for people who doubted with the first season.

I'm going to ask a question that's probably ridiculous, but I'm going to ask it anyway...
How does Funimation's subscription service compare to Crunchyroll? It doesn't look like it has nearly as good of a selection as CR, but I'm curious.

Akup is still an asshole.
We have Ellen exploring friendship and sand, along with fear of hermit crabs. Along with her being creepy.
I see we're taking this sequel slowly instead of going right off the deep end.
The new opening though, while exhibits the typical laziness of other Precure series OPs, it surprisingly has no spoilers considering what Heartcatch pretty much did. The ending makes it look like it has wasted space in it
EDIT:
Oh my, I actually watched this like a couple years ago or something. Sooo good.

I made that post before I actually started watching, so I didn't know exactly what it was...
...okay yeah, now it all makes sense.
The series seems to have slightly fallen out of favor here, but the first DVD set for Chihayafuru has been dated for Australia, to be released on July 18.
I have seen it before. :lol

Better mobile/tablet app, subs and dubs, access to movies and all the new anime they release the day of or even a few days before release, subbed OPs/EDs. Ive used Funi to see like Panty & Stocking, Eden of the East and movies, Baka and Test, Haruka and the Magic Mirror, and simulcasts of Kingdom, Karneval, Code Breaker, Jormungand, RoboNotes, Hataraku Maou Sama, Red Data Girl...
CR, superior selection every season, not US only, mostly subs, some live action I guess.
I guess I use both
