Hrm, the url had /flash/ in it, so I just assumed. But sure, using webapps instead of app-apps. Then again, I suppose that saves a lot of porting time if all you have to worry about are the three major browsers.

Are you sure you're not just visiting the site for the game? The game itself is probably an app...
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid 6
Another incredibly memorable episode from this run. There's some background stuff where Tessa is dealing with the ethics of torture and such for those of you who are into Tessa's character development, and the infamous scene where the assassin sisters steal a Codarl and Mr. Gates is caught masturbating to videos of KITTENS and SQUIRRELS. And I don't mean ladies dressed as them, I mean actually kittens and squirrels.
But the highlight of the episode is the haircut. It's well animated, well-written, and is a significant upgrade in Sagara and Chidori's relationship. It's something of a milestone, since every last kind of physical contact for them is incredibly, agonizingly hard to get to
.
And then, when Sousuke comes home, still glowing from the hair cut and Chidori's "I feel safest with you," he checks his e-mail and
I love this show.

as in death threats before admissions of love
And then, when Sousuke comes home, still glowing from the hair cut and Chidori's "I feel safest with you," he checks his e-mail and
is notified that any and all contact with Kaname Chidori is forbidden effective immediately. Sousuke freaks out in an amazing way by PUNCHING HIS COMPUTER TO DEATH.
I love this show.

I don't have a ton to say other than I really enjoyed this and am glad that hosanna's post the other day got me to try out more of Kon's work despite my dislike of Paprika. I think I'll watch Millennium Actress next.

Good, an episode I actually enjoyed. The music was nice and it had some neat little bits of animation spliced throughout it. It definitely would've been far more intense without all the needless sideline commentary though but that rings true for almost every other episode.
The self-reflecting by Shinobi just makes we want a series about her and the depressing social isolation thanks to the child prodigy non-sense inflicted by adults forcing their dreams upon her.

Didn't think I'd watch anything else after getting a massive headache from laughing my ass off at a friend streaming SMB2USA horribly, but...
Ojamajo Doremi 1
So like this is a show for kids right? There's some rather disturbing stuff in this show. I mean your parents fight every day? About his rods no less. Doremi grows up in a home where her parents are constantly fighting, it's no wonder she wants to be a witch, she wants to escape reality.
It doesn't help how she gets unrequited love by the end of the first episode, and apparently geting bopped in the face for being incompetent with her magic (but hey, it was the first time, even though she whipped out the goods pretty fast).
The character design is pretty weird though. It's likee everyone has Betty Spaghetti limbs and stuff. Doremi's teacher is pretty smoking though. She has meat!

So that's where the lost part of Jaya went. Instead of sinking, it was lifted into the sky and became the Upper Yard. MotherofGod.jpg. And there's gold to be found as well....$_$! Why do I get this sinking feeling that the crew won't be leaving Skypiea with the gold (or whatever's left)?
So God isn't really a divine being from the heavens. It's just some pompous asshole with long ass earlobes (seriously, what the fuck kind of a look is that?) with some very strong mantra. And no doubt that the big beam of light from the heavens is just the work of a very powerful dial. Nevertheless, Luffy will definitely has work cut out for him when faces off against Eneru. But first, he'll have to beat some sense into this Wyper clown. I'm sure Zoro will do the same against that other Shandorian warrior.
All in all, I'm getting a kick out of this arc. It's not as serious as the Alabasta arc, which I'm fine with. What I'm getting is a little bit more humor which is what I wanted. I liked both the Luffy/Sanji/Usopp/Satori andHohenheim/Father[/striker] Gan Fall/Shura fights, and so far the search for the gold has provided some laughs. Just hope the ending delivers.
And I continue to laugh at Chopper's misfortunes. Poor little guy can't catch a break it seems. I could never hate him. Robin on the other hand, is still as boring as ever. Stay losing, Nico Robin.

Did Minami-ke Tadaima bomb? It'd be a shame if it did, it was the best show of the Winter and a better comedy than anything this season as well.

I know it's probably nostalgia goggles or whatever, but I hold the original and NEXT very near and dear to my heart. I used to watch the old VHS' with my mom and sister when I was a kid. Love this show to death and I really hope you enjoy it.

Finally watched it. I totally get what duckroll was saying about it feeling like the 2nd act of a film. There's an active change in the protagonist's way of thinking, and things start to move along at quite the pace. Every conversation is important to the story, but the episode isn't structured like a TV anime. No clear overarching conflict or resolution to layer over the main story. Very interesting but not surprising considering Murata's last project/directorial debut was a feature length film. Very cool. Also, great visuals this week, even if the
dancing seemed a bit random. It kind of worked juxtaposed to Ledo trying to figure out what his true desires are.
Also, do we know who the key animator was for that ridiculously beautiful/random water sequence?

Also, this seems to have slipped by most people earlier so I'll repost it here since it's sales-related... kind of.
On Sunday, a company that makes documentary DVDs about JSDF vehicles released, among a couple other new videos, one about the history of tanks in the JSDF.
The difference between this and all the other videos in their collection? It has in-character audio commentary from Yukari Akiyama.
For March 12, it ranked in third place on Oricon's overall daily DVD sales chart.

Like it more than Memories, once again 2 stories are told at once which is really shitty, it just causes confusion. Just like the prequel only 1 story manages to be interesting.
The anime is artistic too, it looks beautiful.
What is the German fetish of anime anyway

Didn't have nearly enough scenes threatening sexual assault. They even based a joke on it within the same episode.

is "Sorry to keep you waiting" or any permutation of that some kind of common phrase in Japanese?

I hear/use it all the time. It's pretty common whenever you go somewhere and there was a person who was waiting for you.

It peaked at episode 12, you didn't miss anything.
Millennium Actress is not only Kon's best movie, it is one of the best anime movies period.
As much as Sailor Moon. Satou doesn't need to adhere to silly things like "demographics".
It's a common phrase. Omataseshimashita/お待たせしました gets used all the time if you have kept someone waiting for any reason. Waiters usually say it before they deliver your meal, for example.
I do that all the time!
After 13 hours of work trust me you get exhausted.
Yeah, this.
I doubt there's a reason beyond "that was all that was left! "
Though I am flattered, I suppose. I missed out on the original great shipping of 2012.
Too much quality? Gotcha!
They are actually viable, though. There has been tons of stuff that only finds a small audience, much of that bad.
Well, I live in hope.

This is patently false. For example, it got a subforum over at Animesuki (which are made due to a high level of discussion).
Hey. If Chihayafuru can get licensed this can.
Not always. It depends on the material. Kannagi and Shin Sekai got subforums.
You take that at face value despite watching/reading ALOT of shounen?
Rule 1:
Dead people aren't dead, till you see their body.
Even if they are dead, they won't stay dead until it's established there isn't a revivification tool (Dragonballs, Dedicated white mage etc).
So far the titans have either killed the humans before eating them or just chomped them in half, Eren was swallowed whole minus one arm.
hosannainexcelsis
Member
I admittedly haven't followed Animesuki closely enough to know in detail what their criteria for establishing subforums are, but I doubt they'd be made for a show that had extremely little discussion going on.
It depends on whether there is a lot of secondary or original material but yes a moderate amount of discussion is required though.
