The design tho...

Don't you love it?

 

[Taruranto]

Well these are the same people that said Cowboy Bebop was a good anime, and we saw how bad that turned out. Its reasons why one should see Tomorrowland instead.

Can't you, like, ship Jet and Spike together?

Romeo no Aoi Sora (Romeo's Blue Skies)

Hey, I remember wanting to check this once but I kinda... forgot about it.

 

[jgminto]

Can't you, like, ship Jet and Spike together?

Spike and Vicious.

Can't you, like, ship Jet and Spike together?

And Ed can be headcanoned as a shota.

It's like he wasn't even trying.

 

[Delta Assault]

Anybody watched Planetes?

I just started watching it, and it seems pretty cool.

It's about garbagemen in space.

 

[Jintor]

It's probably one of my favourite anime ever made, yeah

Manga > Anime, tho.

The anime tacked on some

bizarre drama at the very end that I didn't like.

Manga was a lot more psychological and existential.

Oh, maybe I'll like the manga more then.

I just remember having this incredible... I can only really call it a moment of transcendence or epiphany at the last episode of Planetes. Like, I don't think I've ever reacted that way to any piece of media before or since. Really something powerful.

Kanon 8

Hmm, the past couple of episodes haven't started with that ominous narration about "the dream". Wonder if that's important.

And here we go.

Spoiler

Out of the blue, Yuichi remembers Makoto's last name. Looks like they knew each other as kids?

Whoa, what?

They, uh, haven't equipped GFs at some point, have they?

This is set in the winter, so why does this hilltop and forest seem to be in a summer state?

Hmm,

Spoiler

they find a clearing in the woods and Yuichi's inner narration states that this is where he and Makoto parted ways. Last episode, she stated that when things have no use, they are disposed of.

I'm sensing a connection here.

And more flashbacks...wait, what?

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Seitokai Yakuindomo ep.1
I wanted something funny to watch on break, so I threw this one on, and wow, this is umm, interesting? I think it was mentioned, but is there really no plot? Do all the episodes just jump around randomly like the first one did? Thete were some funny 1-liners in there but a majority of it was pretty random. Does it get better? I know, I know, the "3 episode rule" right?

I watched it centuries ago, and all I can say is that I dont get all the praise for this show.
Characters doesnt develope, there's no interesting plot. Is purely based on sex jokes. If you find those funny, I guess it's an OK show. Either it's a waste of time, IMHO.

But I guess the best you can do is check it out for yourself.

 

[Saudades]

It's about garbagemen in space.

You should watch Magnetic Rose too.

 

[phaze]

Neon Genesis Evangelion - 10

So in this episode NERV tries to catch an Angel before it hatches, so they send Asuka to do some super mecha scuba diving.

I think the biggest question on my mind for this show is what exactly the Angels are. Like, where did these things come from? If they're showing up from like, beneath the earth and within the sea or something, they're not invaders from outer space or anything.

Are they being controlled? If so, who's controlling them?

They're just these deformed things that just show up and attack. That's it.

Considering some of the "things", I've heard about this show and how it ends, I don't assume I'll receive a particularly decent answer for these questions.

This is a healthy attitude to have.

Blood-C 12 [End]

I can't remember, was this show on 'the list'?

I can sort of see why people recommend this censored— it probably turns what is just graphic gore porn into laughable censorship.Though, honestly, I can't imagine this show doing much for me either way. They found a ton of ways to turn my stomach with gore and body horror, but I mean... so? It's not even an unexpected heel turn since the violence just gradually ramps up until the final scenes with the bunnies. I know I'm probably not supposed to be taking this show seriously, but it really did strike a particular feeling of soullessness when

Spoiler

the bunnies started gathering people into a meat sack and blendering them.

Haha, at the end of the day who the hell was this for? It's just sort of sad. There was absolutely nothing of value to be found in this story.

I guess the surprise at the end

Spoiler

that the town was a big setup just for the experiment with Saya was an ambitious turn, but without any proper characterization with the main cast, who the fuck cares that they're all actually dirt bags? And they were already supposed to be dead, so...? It's almost like they brought them back just to kill them again, haha.

It has the irreverence for a weird, pulpy horror, but not the competence. Too bad.

I decided to pick this up from the sort of notoriety it has around here so that I could maybe get a laugh out of it or be surprised, but getting any of either was few and far between. There's really no reason to watch this show unless you're into really abject body horror. Mizushima's pretty good at that.

Interest rising ...

The design tho...

I though about checking it out but yeah, those designs kind of scared me away.

 

[Jintor]

i dunno, i feel like criticising seitokai yakuindomo for its lack of plot is like criticising a stand up special for its lack of characterisation. I mean, you're right, but you're wrong, you know...

Oh ho. I think the next episode is the moment where it all started going downhill for me. Have fun

 

[Link Man]

It's like, everything is normal. Sure, the memory loss is a bit weird, and that demon hunter girl is probably just a chuuni, but nothing really out of the ordinary. Then, bam!,

Spoiler

the amnesiac runaway is a fox with a terminal case of humanity.

Unless Yuichi is schizophrenic?

Not gonna rule anything out just yet.

 

[hamchan]

i first watched evangelion on a shitty crt at 8pm at night on some sweltering summer night while my parents were out. good times. i don't think sbs even ran ads back then so it was probably a whole episode in one go.

This was me. Good times. Now I look back and wonder why I was watching Evangelion when I was only 8 years old.

 

[Delta Assault]

This was me. Good times. Now I look back and wonder why I was watching Evangelion when I was only 8 years old.

Yeah, there's no way you'd understand what was going on at that age.

Spoiler

Watching it as an adult wouldn't really help with that, though.

 

[Mandelbo]

Then, bam!,

Spoiler

the amnesiac runaway is a fox with a terminal case of humanity.

Yup, that's what did it for me. It's so... stupid. Perhaps if the reasoning behind it was more fleshed out than

Spoiler

she turned into a human because she loves you and it's a miracle

then it'd be easier for me to accept, but the real issue is how Yuiichi reacts to it; no one would believe something so utterly ridiculous without questioning it first! There is no reason for him to accept it so blindly when what he's being told is completely preposterous! If anything, shouldn't he be offended that someone had the gall to offer him such an awful explanation when

Spoiler

Mikoto, someone he cares deeply about, is clearly dying?

I just couldn't take it at all seriously after that point, and it didn't get any better for me.

 

[Basileus777]

You should just criticize the later seasons for being rote and unfunny.

just don't marathon them and you're good to go

Out of all the girls I swear it feels like Einhart is getting the most quality training session. I know they've tried to make Vivio her rival but damn does it still feel like Einhart is still significantly better than Vivio.

DROPPED. I have am not amused by Shingan Crimsonz and tire of listening to their unfunny antics.

I've already read the manga so I don't plan to check out the anime anytime soon, but maybe you should give it a chance.

"Nisekoi" Anime to Adapt "Magical Patissier Kosaki-chan"

I believe that would be about the upcoming anime episode that will adapt the Nisekoi spinoff about Magical girl Onedera.

 

[Delta Assault]

One thing I dislike about anime is how episodes usually have two titles instead of one. It's always frustrating to organize them on my hard drive because I'm ocd and two titles looks wrong so I just delete the second title. But then that first title might be less descriptive of what happens in the episode than the second one.

Anybody else feel this way?

Oh man, I was going to put it all in spoilers, but screw it. You need to watch the next two episodes and it will all make sense. Oh man, that episode coming up, it's just, man... at least watch #9 & #10. All will be revealed and played out for this arc.

So Windows 10-tan is here, and they open for name submissions currently.

Hnnnnnnnnnnnngh. GREAT design!

A few days ago I said that Tokyo Ghoul was going to be the most popular cosplay and what do you know? I was right! I probably saw 10 different Kanekis as well as assorted members of the supporting cast. Highlight of the show was finding a stall selling imported blurays and I will definitely be using their website in the future.

I got a lot of what I wanted and the free KlK tote bag was super useful, not pictured is my Log Horizon part 2 as it has already been lent out to a friend to watch.

Nice pickups you got there. Interesting to see how differently some shows are packaged.

Without a doubt. Both the song and the visuals are perfect. I think it's my absolute favorite ending.

I dunno there are some incredible EDs but SSY definitely is up there. Its utterly unique, thats for certain!

Hey guys, you know what was pretty good? D-Frag!. D-Frag! was preeeeetty good.

They doing a second season of that or what?

I recently picked this up. Cant wait to finally watch it!

Did some quick Google since SSY means nothing to me, that's a show called Shinsekai yori right? Just hard a look at the ED, its pretty nice. The show seems pretty popular, but having a little look at the show, an easy pass from me. Still, nice ED!



Thanks, not into fan service personally at all, so that makes me a little weary, but having said that I'll give it a shot since it's short enough!

SSY is extremely good. You are doing a disservice to yourself by not giving this show a chance. It is a remarkably deep and atmospherically powerful story. Very foreboding and multi-faceted, where you can tell there is something very very strange going on beneath the calm exterior. Oh to watch this show again for the first time!

 

[Jarmel]

hahaha

ANN's review of FSN UBW episode 20 is absolutely bonkers.

Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works is 100% about mascullinity and not just "ideals"... Let's go back to the most relevant example in FSN's prequel, Fate/Zero. That work succeeded as a study in idealism because it depicted men struggling with toxic conceptions of masculinity.

 

[javac]

Hey, I remember wanting to check this once but I kinda... forgot about it.

If you're still interested in it you should give it a shot when you get time, it's been absolutely brilliant so far.

I just detest the way it looks, puts me off straight away and just doesn't grab me at all. I'm the sure the show is good but my backlog is just way too amazing right now, things that are making me squeal just at the notion of finally watching them that 'going of course' and watching anything else doesn't sit well with me.

by the way, i've not watched or know anything about it really, but is assassination classroom like a school series where kids are learning how to be assassins, or what?

Ohhh you! You're so precious! *squeezes

I was at an anime convention over the weekend, ended up seeing some Bubblegum Crisis for the first time.

I really want to watch this now.

Kavey OMG you would love the fuck out of it! Also you need to watch Irresponsible Captain Tylor and Dirty Pair!

What world did I just woke up to...
Tis' not a lovely day indeed.


Yeah some of the subplots kinda go nowhere (especially the one with that...girl). But I think at least it still resolves the main fight pretty well.

I love your avatar. ABe's work is gorgeous.
