The rivals got that treatment too, although I guess it was better handeled in Z as Piccolo and Vegeta are pretty omnipresent even when outclassed.

What about King Piccolo? Dude was literally pure evil.

Yeah, most of the villain don't really have tragic back stories, Dragon Ball is usually about the childlike notion that there is good in everyone.

His origin is pure evil,

Before Gilgamesh told him "Its just the way you are bro"

He worked because you wanted him to fail. His evil intentions were carried out in the name of "justice". Corrupted by the cause.

He was also far too contemptible to root for, at least for me.

Following for the hell of it at this point:
Valvrave

All in that order. I haven't followed this much in seasons. I'm really feeling Attack on Titan after those last two episodes right now, but the four in the watching tier are all very solid so far.

Damn son, you are so bold. In shoujo terms, that's third base!

You know, I have no idea if it's a new writer or new director, but the move from pure wangst-emo porn to just generic but pleasant slice of life stories really has made this show more watchable (or less watchable, if you like to laugh at Jdoramatic writing, I suppose).

Also, ever since you guys told me that Sawashiro is Haruka, I can't hear her in the same way. Every other sentence, I can hear the sexy rasp come through under the generic blank shoujo heroine that she's forced to play here. I almost want to watch more of My Little Pony again to see if she lets it out there as well. lol

Buns and drills? Seriously?

How come nobody seems to be all that distressed by the fact that Lala has a tail?

And goddamn, Rito is still the dumbass of the century. "Oh, a crane is headed right in my direction. Let me just stand here in place and do absolutely nothing. Oh, the hook is swinging. Getting hit by that would be dangerous. I better just keep standing here like a vegetable. Oh! It hooked me! I should whine like a dumbass instead of doing fucking anything to get myself down! Oh! Now the rich girl in a bikini with underboob wants to seduce me! What do I dooooooooooooooooooooo?!"

Date a Live 5

Ending: Fine. Better than the first one but that's about it.

That was bad. Absolutely hate it when LN adaptions are sometimes made into anime because at some point, one of the episodes (or the entire show) suffer because of how much they have to fit a lot of the content in 12 episodes. Well guess what? This was that episode. Everything was rushed way to fast and just made the episode suffer for it because of how blantant it was that they just wanted to hurry up and resolve Yoshino's part. Does not help things when the only fanservice provided by the episode is from the worst girl so far.

Still, it could be a blessing in disguise if it means Kurumi appears next episode.

You need glasses, like your avatar. Shin-Chan is beautiful.

It also created one of the greatest anime scenes of all time.

You are even too right about this! It is so damn beautiful in its ordinary sincerity. I'll sure take advantage of another opportunity to post that music theme here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaiqbkiYPNw

As I commented a time ago (http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=43997820&postcount=10209), it is lovely that thanks to the popularity of the series on this country practically every movie, except a couple of the most recent ones, from the franchise is easily accessible here. Those who can understand Castilian (or Catalan, or Galician, or Basque), even if a little, should consider making themselves with all of them.

By order of product release, English translation of the film's original title in italics:

Is it really that dark, or are you just being sarcastic? Was considering starting it.
Click to expand...
Nah, it was a little sarcastic remark, sorry... I don't like simplified comparisons like that so that response kind of came naturally.

The work in itself is very charming, with a particularly unmitigated sense of curiosity and imagination, and because of that it results in a much broader and natural view onto a child's perception... weird and strange (and sad) sometimes, yeah... but as I said, charming all along.

So there are rumors floating around about staff members already?

Not just rumors, but people directly referencing his involvement on it like Thomas Romain. Recent mentions of meetings at BONES and of artists possibly participating at the project include people like Kunio Okawara and Kevin Aymeric... maybe Yutaka Nakamura or BahiJD.

They only spent two episodes on Yoshino's arc? Lame...
I guess they really are going to spend most of their focus on volumes 3 and 4.

Are we talking about what we're watching?

I've got:
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam
Azumanga Daioh
Betterman
The Vision of Escaflowne
Majestic Prince
Valvrave
Code Golbez
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu!!

On my watchlist. Of those shows, I'm most skeptical about Majestic Prince and Valvrave, because I don't have anybody to browbeat me for daring to say negative-to-scathing things about them when I'm less than ten episodes in.

I remember watching Shin Chan when I went to Spain a few years ago :lol
Seems to be quite popular there.
I assume the anime is original material only now, since the manga is over (and the author died :'( )?

Thanks. I'm not that familiar with Okawara and Aymeric. I've heard about Romain but just in passing. I'm pretty hyped though if Nakamura and BahiJD get on board.

Poor Mr. Usui... but even then the franchise is so big it is unstoppable now! His assistants have continued with the graphical novel (under a new moniker, but the same work in essence) because Futabasha Publishers Ltd., didn't want to let it go.

I've been following only the series and movies most of the time, but I think many of the animation episodes were original content anyway, right? They'll keep at it... or they could let Mr. Yuasa bring some more SHIN-MEN specials!
