Yeah, like Gundam Build Fighters.
It will also be at that moment when I venture into the mystical/strange/beautiful/confusing/scary/ land of Evangelion.

Well, it is just ramping up. The story actuually settles down and starts making sense soon enough, but yeah, he is a good character, as well as another that is coming soon.
April Fools

We know the Squeerats send the council something of Mamo and Maria that would seemingly proof their death, so the council wouldn't seek for them any longer. So they most likely send them bones from something like their limbs or even their back or so. Something that would mean certain death for someone out in the wildness...not for someone who got it surgically removed and taken care of though. Which is what Squeeler did before (maybe after...doesn't really matter) then forcing them into coitus. Since the child was of utmost importance for Squeeler I'm not sure when he got rid of Mamo and Maria but I'd say he let them live on for a while after birth, until he was certain the child would survive and grow up to fulfill his plan. Who knows, maybe he never actually killed them at all. He did however separate the child from them early on, perhaps immediately after birth. So that it wouldn't have any recollection of another human being and, worse, making the connection of being one itself. That was important so the genetically inherited death-feedback wouldn't set in when it kills humans, as that death-feedbacks triggers when the person assumes he kills own of his own kind.
So, while it's hard to tell what exactly became off Maria and Mamorou, their fate was a severely fucked up one either way

Bakemonogatari Ep.1
Ok, I'm sure I'll figure this one out soon, but yeah, tough to read subtitles on thsi one since the text flys by so quick.... you we're kidding about it being dialog heavy. So far the humor is dry, like something from Monty Python's, lol.

Man I feel like all Crunchy has this season is second seasons of their old shows.
If they can only get to chapter 115 it will be AOTS.
Just FYI, I did really mean it, 90 % of this show is people throwing lines at each other. If you're not enjoying it after 3 eps then abort. The action, while great, appears like 3 times during this season. It is also a part of a bigger franchise with like 40 more episodes so it's a pretty substantial time commitment if you want to watch all there is to it. And like Log Horizon, it's still unfinished.
I think they'll get Re-Kan, at least. TBS shows usually end up with them. The other shows I need to know about up until this weekend are DanMachi and Nanoha Vivid. Maybe those will go to CR?
Nisioisin is well known for his very dialogue heavy writing. Sometimes I have to pause an episode and read through the text actually, in order to understand.

Ghost in the Shell (1995):
That was pretty good. Whole film I thought that this feels little like the Matrix and then after film read that The Matrix was heavily influeced by the Ghost in the Shell. No wonder then.

Everyone has to pause if they want to read those fucking quickly flashing texts that you kinda don't want to miss out on.

Speaking of Utena, it looks like Shirobako actually helped with an understanding of where Miki's stopwatch came from. Basically, animators use those kinds of stopwatches to help them work out how long an action will take so they know how many frames it will include etc.
Well, Imaishi is making a series of anime shorts for a programming block that will begin this July. I could see this being that.

I read from The New World, was interesting. Dennou Coil is one of my favorite series, and I enjoyed Ergo Proxy when I watched so long ago.
I want to watch Kaiba, as the premise seems interesting but the art is so off putting to me for some reason.
Haven't checked out Aria, Toward the Terra or Jyu Oh Sei.

I learned that when watching The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness. Guess Shirobako actually explains it though?
That news on TRIGGER Inc., official site you quoted say that what commences on July is the crowd-funding campaign, not the series' emission itself.
Yeah I didnt know that either.

I was able to follow the text of Ep. , which was interesting, but we'll see where it goes from here.
After this, is there another Anime out there like I mentioned earlier that carries you along a reat adventure, like the first part of SAO, Log Horrizon or Yona?

I think you might enjoy Btooom!, the premise is kinda similar to SAO. Though be aware that the story is not finished and it seems unlikely that there'll be any additional seasons.
The timing of the announcement around April Fools is why I hate the day. It's hard to determine if it's real or not. April 1st was almost over when Trigger posted that.
They're older series, but I think you'd like some of Bones' best shows, namely the Full Metal Alchemist adaptations (each is good) and Eureka Seven. They're adventures with big scope, lots of great characters, awesome action, and even some romance.
I don't know what is or isn't on Crunchyroll, but I know FMA is on Netflix.

I didn't know I missed this so much.
I didn't remember Mami was voiced by Chiaki Omigawa, that was a nice surprise.
The movie just left me wanting more!

Some time ago I remember reading an anecdote about how Kyoto Animation's Yoshiji Kigami has at times not have prepared the fulfilled time-sheets (doing the timing for his supervised key animation and counting the resulting amount of sheets-per-cut) for the in-betweeners, so these didn't have indications about the number of animation frames they had to make! Anyone knows the exact source of this information? Or did I imagine it?
I'd love to watch the Utena movie with commentary, but I was using the YouTube stream for this - and for the entire series. The boxes are still a bit out of my price range, much as I'd love to own them, even moreso now that I've seen the show. It's one of those anime I'll remember.
Nadesico - Prince of Darkness
I understand the desire for a movie, especially of a completed TV series, to capitalize on more of what the fans want to see, and to tell a story bigger in scope - emotional, dramatic or otherwise - than the small, slow burn that a TV series provides. Ruri was a fun character in the original series, but she lost her sarcasm here, and being made the main character of the movie, while certainly a good concept, didn't quite capture the same energy as the TV show.
Everyone else was largely on point - Yukina, Izumi and company, and so on - but without Akito and Yurika providing a central focus to everything, it feels kinda off.
The central conceit of the movie - about the Jovians trying to reclaim their glory - has potential, but the movie needed a little more Gekigangar in it, in the sense of how much that anime was a part of the series' identity.
I'm not going to say it's the worst thing I've seen - my standards are fairly relaxed with everything - and presenting a different take on a series isn't a bad thing either. It had all the right pieces, it just needed a spark, a bit more energy to it. Which was present in, say, the scenes where Ruri was recruiting everybody back, but not quite as much in the parts where the story was moving forward.
It was alright. All that's left is the Cyberteam movie, the only one of these that was never released stateside.

Not to mention brainwashing him and having him lose his sense of taste. That seems cruel. Suffering can build a character, but Yurika comes out of this largely alright while he just flies off into the distance.

I haven't seen Brotherhood, but
It gets a lot better and is a lot of fun with some pretty well done dramatic moments. The huge level of fanservice in episode 0 is not really representative of the series as a whole. Its like they chose to give you a fanservice OVA right at the start.

Yuri Kuma Arashi 12 FINAL
This show has had some pacing problems starting out, but God damn if it didn't finish with a bang.
This show has had some pacing problems starting out, but God damn if it didn't finish with a bang.
I always thought the ending had more of a bittersweet vibe to it. Can't exactly call it a happy ending when not much has changed. I liked the ending, though, and it tries to look forward to the future in which perhaps things will change. Although I thought that
the rats having human DNA was a cop out, as if not having human DNA would have given them less of a right to live.
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, maybe? Romance and comedy, with a splash of horror / mystery / supernatural. Decent story, but probably not the shounen action you might be looking for.

If you haven't seen Tsuritama or Motherfucking Gurren Lagann, now is a good time.
Here! But he took down the actual image since, so check it out here instead.
I think it wouldn't be as annoying if the joke featured less plausible, outrageous projects made for fun like many others do to fiddle around when on April Fools' Day! >:-|
Ongaku Shoujo
Very cute. And over active blond girl drags a shy girl into singing? Where have have I seen this before?
And, don't fuck with this cat:
So colorful *_*
Relevant to my interests
Several older shows I could recommend but Id have to look on Crunchyroll to see what all they have.

*Shin Sekai Yori / From the New World Spoilers*
For me it felt like the final puzzle piece of the world finally coming into place. It served its purpose in explaining where the non-telekinetic humans ended up and it felt much more likely that the clearly intelligent race of beings were actually human rather than a completely separate species evolving both physiologically and culturally to that advanced point in the span of a couple thousand years. Though I guess with all the weird creatures that ended up existing that it couldn't have been impossible when all was said and done. I think if it wanted to explore the notion of non-human intelligences that they would have gone more out of their way to differentiate the rats from just being medieval humans with non-traditional reproduction

Yeah I saw it was taken down. Dammit humi.
At least we are getting the new series.
Looks like the Right Stuf has gotten their copies of Yuki Yuna and Denki-ga in.
I thought the cultural advancement had more to do with human contact. And the alternative reproduction certainly sets them apart very far from human. Some other creatures evolving like that in the span of thousands of years is not that much of a stretch in comparison to humans transforming their physiology like that. At the same time I see your point that it does complete the picture.
The whole thing was super creepy, especially the end reveal. Man just so unsettling.
I only ordered Yuki Yuna. I couldn't justify buying Denki-ga, and April-June is going to be murder on my wallet. Aniplex releases this month, DtB next month, and then YYY volume 2 in June along with A Lull in the Sea.
I have the Noir Blu-ray waiting at home for me.
We have discussed the show before but possibly before you saw it.
Inaban is the best and there is not much contest.
