Steins;Gate 3

I've heard good things about this show, but I think I'll stop here. It was hard for me to get myself to finish the third episode. So far, I found it neither funny nor exciting nor mysterious nor.. anything good at all. I can't stand watching another episode of this annoying prick of a protagonist constantly spouting nonsense and laughing like an idiot.

The show doesn't really pick up until around the tenth episode, but yeah, if the characters aren't doing anything for you then it sounds like you should stop now.

Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid 1

DAT KYO ANI ANIMATION BUMP. Full Metal Panic! as a whole is my favorite anime ever, but The Second Raid is definitely my favorite favorite. This is such a good show. Yeah there's some unwelcome CG, but most of it, most importantly the mecha, is all 2D goodness. And boy does that animation bump do Mao some wonders. Mao remains the undisputed Best Girl of course, though Chidori is still loveable, too. Anyway this episode is about Sousuke and the gang taking out some ethnic cleansers while Sagara tries to not flunk school. Kid invented his own Arm Slave and somehow can't get his brain around Japanese History. In his defense, German boy Kurz makes it sound easier than it probably is. How many kids not from 'Merica really know anything about President Taft, for instance?
 
The World God Only Knows - 09 - English Dub
Hearing Luci Christian say the words "Rolling with the homies" is my new favorite moment in anime.

Toriko 100 (funiHulu)

I could never eat at a 10 star restaurant, the demands of gourmet etiqutte is too intense. Eating only in the sunlight, no blinking allowed (how does a food even detect that). Really one of the writers most creative foods in awhile.
I wouldn't eat at a 10 star restaurant because it's clearly terrible and is using a made up rank to trick the uninformed. The highest score is 3 stars.

AKB0048 - 01

It never occured to me that idol stuff could be used as a mean of free speech , freedom and cultural liberties .. How silly i was !!

And nobody told me that !
And most importantly, this is entertainment.

AKB0048 - 03

AkibaStar ?
That's the name of the planet ?
Did they decide the name in less than 15 secs or something ?
You didn't take note that the home planet of the MC and friends is LancaStar, thus they are technically "English"?

Rewatch of Evangelion EoE and 1.11

The end and the beginning.

I remember when /a/ was forcing Komm Susser Todd as background music on December 21. That was fun.

Also, going from a forced letterbox inside a 4:3 display on DVD (because that's the only way I can get the proper aspect ratio otherwise) to a full widescreen 1080p on Blu-ray is a hell of a jump.

I didn't post my impressions of Yuyushiki 5

It was schoolgirls doing dumb, fun things. I enjoyed it. I'm 99% sure they are not all the same character.

I also didn't post impressions for Aiura 5 because there is nothing to say about a 3 minute show that thinks it's a 30 minute show.
 
And Charles Brubaker on the Little Lulu anime (1970's) http://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/little-lulu-anime/

Holy shit there was a Little Lulu anime? I wonder how it compares to the HBO american cartoon version. Making Lulu an adorable stand up comic was a stroke of genius that'd be hard to top. Also I wonder if Tubby is still a dumb jerk in the anime one. Oh, and see ya around neoGAF novid, I'll miss those little spiels here.

Yes! Pretty Cure 5! GoGo 36

Today's episode is brought to you by trolling

Damn this sounds entertaining as hell. But I've already watched the best Precure, it can't be worth 35 episodes to get to a hilarious two parter can it?! Why can't they make a Precure or any show dedicated entirely around messing with teenage girls? It'd be like the AKBingo of anime!

Of course entertainment ( i still think the mic beam sabers are the most intresting thing in this show )
You didn't take note that the home planet of the MC and friends is LancaStar, thus they are technically "English"?
Not really

But thanks for the info.

I still think that this took more thought process than "akibastar"

Don't get misled. Yes Precure is pretty bad.

Also it sounds like you want Madoka.

Came across some interesting stuff on Twitter:

The unit director for Takahata's Kaguya-hime is Osamu Tanabe and the animation director is Kenichi Konishi. The key animators on the project include Shinji Hashimoto, Miwa Sasaki, Masashi Ando, Shinji Otsuka, and Hideki Hamasu. Shinji Hashimoto and Miwa Sasaki in particular have been involved with the project since the very early stages of production.

The animation director for Miyazaki's Kaze Tachinu is Kitaro Kousaka. He apparently said that "There are many complex scenes, and contents are different from what I've worked on up until now" and that the movie will feature "very fantastical scenes of the sky". Yup, sounds like a Miyazaki movie. :p

It was kind of a legitimate question though; I mean, most of the Shinkai stuff is still scenery shots, and Kaze Tachinu is about airplanes, so high-quality clouds in motion would be nice.

I don't think Ghibli animators are thinking of cloud porn when they say "fantastical sky scenes". Just a hunch, based on... I dunno... 30 years of Miyazaki films? :D

The Vision of Escaflowne 17

Dude, Beautiful Sephiroth's father's explanation was pretty terrible. "I left your mother to die of loneliness and abandoned you to a lifetime of bitterness because I married your mother and had you and your sister out of duty. But I swear I loved your mother! I just abandoned her because I only married her out of duty and all!"

Which was it, dude? Did you or did you not love your family?

At least Balgus' ghost was straightforward: "fight war to be free of war!" DAMMIT ANIME THIS NEVER WORKS.

Okay, so at least Hitomi's gramma wasn't crazy.

It amazes me how different your reactions are from most people who watched this. It makes me actually REALLY curious how you would react watching Kiddy Grade, (which is a show that doesnt take itself very seriously) ;)

Hmm. So you dont like Okarin? Hes so insane lol. The show gets REALLY good in a few more episodes, in particular around 11-12 so maybe hold on until then. If it still doesnt appeal maybe this isnt your kind of show. but up till now you havent really seen where this show is going at all.

Corvo I already like you because we go to the same school. Stop making me like you more.

Edit: Also I love this video of her recording for Princess Tutu. Crying while recording? Flawless victory in my book.

I knew about Konishi, but damn, all these great animators. Tanabe should do a cut or two too :p.
This could be one of the best Ghibli films. I'm hyped.
 
Either way, though, it was a sloppy and careless move. All he needed to do was go
You will never remember or know that I am Zero.


If he did that, then she'd be all over him again. Lelouch was the person that Shirley felt she could
cry on after realizing that Zero killed her father. When she found out that Lelouch was Zero, it made her completely fall apart, and she didn't know what do to. If Lelouch just erased the part that he was Zero, there was a good chance that she could find out again. He was just trying to keep her away from him for her own safety.

But that's not the only thing you'll find questionable. Just wait until
episode 16.

and boom, no more problem. Instead he creates a HUGE problem for himself in an unnecessarily dramatic way. It's angst for angst's sake.

He basically doing that, if he just simply doing that Shirley still remember meeting the masked man and questioning it because just don't remember it mysteriously, because she one curious cat.

Random thought: Production I.G really should have made a fake Gunvarrel episode as a bonus OVA for one of the Robotics;Notes BD volumes.
