First ten minutes of Heartcatch Precure! the Movie
The first 10 minutes were much better than the entirety of Fresh Precure's movie. Maybe even GoGo's movie, which was a sexual parasite that sucked the romance and creepiness of that series, but amplified it to rather disturbing levels for what amounts to a movie for children. It also helps that it didn't spend the first few minutes wasting its time shouting "HEY you little shits, whip out your plot device merchandise!".
Tsubomi was adorable within these few minutes. It helps that she's majorly different from the usual main lead personality. These 10 minutes felt like it lasted longer, but it makes sense that the movie would be at least as good as the series.

That's just a rumor being spread around by anti-Duckroll dissidents. Teach the conspiracy.
The movie is Jexhius approved, so you know it's good stuff.
is this show about some kind of death game?

Kind of.
Well, the video that kayos posted much earlier today actually came from a DVD or something that was bundled with the volume, for one thing, so that's one way to encourage people to buy, I suppose.

These 3 episodes were surprisingly entertaining. I mostly enjoyed 2 after Amy
There was a bit of dissonance with them ending up
The end of episode 3 felt good, though Ledo is
and the end picture was pretty great.

asks Ledo for help and he went and vaporized all the pirates and destroyed their boats, like a motherfucking champ.
not being happy about that and Not-Yoko telling Ledo that killing humans is taboo. It was especially funny because of the situation Not-Yoko and her friend were in before Ledo vaporized the harassing pirates.
softening up too much to get on the good side of these weaklings
Picked up the complete Spice & Wolf collection on BluRay (pretty much my alltime fave anime). So beyond using streaming services I'm now also buying a few bits of anime on disc.
Watching episode one, it has got me wondering just what sources Funimation had available for the transfer. Its pretty blurry, which I never noticed on streams (no surprise there). And its not like its really old (2008 vintage).
Something else I'm wondering about. Did the separate season collections have any extras?

You know, the one good thing to come about as a result of Evangelion 3.33 being a crappy film is that it can finally put to rest the argument, that's been peddled around by some, that if you've never watched anything Evangelion related you should start with the Rebuild movies. I mean, I don't think that was ever a particularly convincing argument in that the only reason for following it's tenants was that the films were shorter than the show and therefore easier to watch, but now the whole film series has been revealed to a putrid pile of faeces even that reason can be safely ignored.

The hour of judgement approaches.
Looks like it'll be announced like an hour before I wake up. What fun.
Also, I missed it earlier, but the seventh and final pilot PV for pachinko game Prism Nana is now on Youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aN30-umH4E
If you'll recall, they posted the sixth one last month, but it was rapidly removed due to complaints about lolis in swimsuits or something.

Well, yeah, but that hasn't changed since the teaser site first went up and there was much speculation about it. I was just reminding people that it's almost time.

People liked 2.22? Well, I'm sure some people did anyway. I definitely did not.JCG said:
Two idiots acting like brain-dead fools isn't any fun to watch.
So much Moel screens and I just run out on my 300 picture limit on my Sora no Woto album.
Nice epilogue sort of episode.Nice epilogue sort of episode. We finally get some geography of where Helvetia actually is and what lies beyond Roma. Buy the humans before really did fuck thins good to turn the entire of Eurasia into a dessert, I wanted to mention this on a previous impression post but I kept forgetting but the fact that Helvetia seems to be some pseudo Switzerland, Roma speaks fake German but the old world setting seems awfully Japanese is rather confusing, no wonder they have like 8 million gods in their culture, it's probably a mess of the remnants of the old world. Think happy science in a post apocalypse setting! Why is the dessert expanding anyway? Also Rio should just get Moel to build her a jet or something.
First, for location, the map makes it clear that the series takes place in what is now Japan (and maybe China too). Everything else about the setting... uh, well, that just is. Accept it or not.
Second, SnW doesn't have real yuri, and I'm fine with that. It's great the way it is.
Beyond that, the desert is expanding because the world is in really bad shape and getting worse. As ep. 13 suggests, it's unclear if humanity will ultimately survive this or not... the seas are already mostly dead, after all, and a lot of land is barren as well.
And that's where the ending comes in, Rio has heard of a place which is recovering, supposedly, so that is where Kanata and her are going at the end, as Kanata thinks about what her own dream is.

And that is also where Firehawk12 and me disagree about this show -- we both loved it, but I think that
the ending leaves some hope for humanity and the future, while all he can see is YKK and the end of people and stuff.
No way! I want to see Kanata and Rio's adventures
in search of Rio's dream...
That's all true, isn't it... and it is really weird. The show is really amazing though, regardless if location-wise it makes no sense. It's a completely weird mishmash.ZachDeKoromaru said:
True, but even so, that image does a good job of showing how silly that element of the series is.Theonik said:
For Edit2, because panzers. (As for Edit1, you said it yourself.)
I'm kinda excited even though I expect it to be underwhelming, lol.

Heartcatch Precure! the Movie midway point
Because why not.
I enjoy the developments so far with Olivier, along with his interactions with everyone else. Tsubomi was... rather attached to him, and for once she's right, Olivier is in fact a boy. Tsubomi's attributes are contagious though.
His interactions with Erika made me like Erika more, but she's not one of the best Precures for nothing. Each character talking to him is like taking hammer to try to break down his wall of social awkwardness.

Yuri shows that she can be rather calm but demanding with just a single sentence. Just like with the schoolkids.
Lol, it's not that I think Youtube isn't used in Japan because of Nico Nico Douga or anything. I just have irrational concept for their streaming service.
Shergal, its gonna be Ishidate robot action! I want to belieeeeeeeeve!
Watch this be some Ishihara key-shit

They should make FMP so everyone who didn't follow the novels or manga can learn how much of a horrendous, incredibly bleak trainwreck the story becomes pretty much immediately after the end of TSR.
... Or alternately, just ignore all that and make another season of Fumoffu, but that's not happening, I think.
(Note: S1 is actually my favorite part, but THAT's not coming back.)
I'm sorry I let you down I can't deny my feelings!
Thinking of the Rebuild series as a preface to anything Eva, or much less a replacment, is such a silly sentiment to me. Coming into it now, (as in recently having finished the TV series and now going through everything else) all that I see the Rebuild series as is a fun gaiden-esq work to be enjoyed after the fact.
Hataraku Maou-sama 4-
Another great episode. The show really is making the best of the actual material. The comedic timing is great and helps to defuse a lot of the more dramatic moments, making something that is less dramatized and surprisingly natural. The show makes pretty good use of the environment in the action sequences and helps to give a rather fantastical story, a grounded component to it. The next episode looks to be a lot of fun.

It's much bigger than it was a few years ago, sure, but I still meet more people who have no real clue what YT is than I do people who use it.
Nico Nico gets an immediate response from 99% of folks.

I don't want no CG robot action.
But FMP would probably be pretty cool anyway.
At least it isn't boring like Majestic Prince.
But the 90's HTML?
Also, outside of the hardcore 2ch/otaku crowd, I get the impression that Youtube is way more normal and mainstream than any other service. Nico for better or for worse has the otaku image attached to it.
SATAN ON JOB 4
I feel pretty bad for shitting on White Fox so relentlessly and dismissing this when the first PV came out. Oh, how wrong I was. This episode really shows how good a job they're doing of fleshing out the minor side characters while using that development as a vehicle for helping the audience understand the main driving forces of the main characters when it matters most. Sooo good.

What could have been.
Does the timing after Hyouka line up for Takemoto and Gatoh for there to be a new FMP? Its barely been a year.
Valvrave 3
This show is so, so dumb and I'm really enjoying it. L-Elf's antics this episode were so ridiculous and over the top I was just laughing as he
The other students aren't particularly interesting but the conflict between L-Elf and the protag carries the show.

took out all those soldiers. How the hell did he survive that fall!?
It's Extreme Prof. Layton.
Well Gatoh said he's been working on 'something people have been waiting for' so for Gatoh there is a distinct possibility.
