There seems to be alot of yuri or references to yuri lately when it use to be basically non-existent.

Ace of Diamond Second Season Episode 1

Had to keep pausing the video to make sure I was watching the second season. Didnt expect it to fully go over the Yakushi v Seido game. But at least there was more Raichi laughing, and Kawakami pitching.

Guess next week will also be fully recap except with glorious Mei and more Kawakami.
 
Sailor Moon Crystal 19


Suddenly a bunch of reaction faces gets pointed out. With comedy sound effects and all.

Sailor Pluto makes an appearance and how the story progresses is more straight forward than the 90s anime.
 
Nanoha Vivid 1

Finally sometime is translating this. I am just happy I got to see nanoha again, since it was my first and favorite magical girl show.

Good:
-nanoha is back!!!! This is better than k-on season 3.
-the show being a magical girl MMA tournament.
-NANOHA


Some bad:
-The 30 seconds transformation sequence is bad taste and completely unnecessary.
-the nanoha force's cast, I had to Google to remember who they are.
-the manga is still ongoing with multiple hiatus, so don't expect a full conclusion from this show.
-Fate and Nanoha will forever remain as 'friend'. Even though they both adopted a daughter. I don't know why the writer is so scare of same-sex marriage.
Wait wait , this wasn't the force Cast , it was the strikers Cast ( they were on the ennemy side before the church released them from their brainwashing. )
to be clear FORCE was removed from the nanoha continuity. it just doesn't exist. and everyone pretends it never existed.

Also Fate and Nanoha are not friends lol.
Friends don't adaopt a daughter together, friends don't sleep on the same bed.
Fate is clearly the tsundere dad ( ahem mama ) , while nanoha plays the earnest mama.
No way you can convince me that they are friends

This is insane, just watching the OP blew my mind we need at least 24 chapters to cover all this, but i'm curious of how it going to end.

And anime Xenovia is back <3
Any xenovia is fine. Xenovia is a good character ( *nods )

This weird Tenma guy has been hogging significant amounts of screen time for good 5 episodes now. It's almost as if he was the main protagonist of the show ! And the story actually moved forward a bit. What is this show I'm watching because it sure as hell isn't the Monster I know !
 
Sailor Moon S 05


Guess he doesn't want to talk about that time he kissed her while she was sleeping :p

We get to see what happens when a person without a pure heart wakes up and Mamoru can't even give somebody a ride without Usagi getting jealous.

As I understand it the whole friends thing is because this is a world of no hugging and no kissing, which is why I find their relationship infuriating since you can't really double down on the coded bullshit while having one of the most progressive families in all of fiction.
 
Cardfight!! Vanguard G episode 16 (engDUB)

Chrono would make a great businessman, he could have ran the stall on his own (Though his skills with customers are pretty :( ). I always love how he gets to take part in these things only because he cant turn things down. He was even not willing to do it until Tokoha tricked him :/

Also it seemed like Ren Suzugamori showed up?

It justifies itself within the world because both nanoha and fate are public figures. ( military public figures Even ! ) with their child having very close ties to the mid-childa church ( another very important power figure) .

I mean, all their friends are aware of it , but i don't know if mariage with the same sex is even possible in that society. ( I mean chrono got married just fine , so it's not like they are against mariage at all in that universe of the concept doesn't exist )

Also hugging is defintely allowed

Started to get back into anime by watching the ones on Netflix, Animelab and subbing to Funimation.

So... why did The Devil is a Part-Timer not get a second season? Not enough people watching it? I felt the end wasn't as good as the start but it still seemed pretty damn great.

Also old Suzumiya Haruhi seasons. Are they just not available to stream anywhere?

Not everything has to get a second season swiftly after airing. The novels rose from it, perhaps an s2 could eventually happen, or one could read it.

Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere ep. 13 through S2 EP1-5
Deeper and deeper into the abyss. I mean, I get the premise somehow, but duel, after duel, after duel all with alternative outcomes, just plain weird. You would hope there would be more character developement and story building, but tuly even into the second season, you are still clueless on the world around you for the most part...
 
Arslan Senki 1
The Persian theme is pretty compelling, but the main character is already becoming grating. Maybe the upcoming tragedy will change him enough to make him less of an annoyance.

A-are they making refence to those stupid backgrounds DIC Used to use in their dub of Sailor Moon?!

Jesus...

It was slowly building for the past couple of years, but it reached critical mass in 2014 (aka Year of the Yuri). Anime hasn't really been the same since then.

Just think of Instrumentality from NGE.
 
Anyone have a decent streaming site where I can watch Yu Gi Oh 5D's in Japanese, streamed? All I can find is the dub streamed which I assume has the fun stuff cut out, and an amazingly large torrent I don't want to download.

Sorry, I just can't buy into that reasoning, it just feel like they are keeping the thinnest of veils for reasons.

The Wind Rises

I just finished watching the BRD of this movie and at the end I could only think that it was a beautiful movie. Also a sad, sad movie. My eyes started wetting up toward the end, but it's during the credits that I cried some.

It wasn't a perfect movie as it was a bit too slow in some parts, but it managed to convey the feeling of a dream, the feeling of love, the feeling of happiness and the bitter feeling of loss and sadness, so that makes it a beautiful movie and a great experience for me.

I think that's one of Monster's greatest strengths, it's ensemble cast, and it's willing to give the spotlight to someone other than Tenma and Nina. IMO, they aren't compelling enough to carry the entire series on their backs, so it works well.

Is Azumanga Daioh still considered a good first SoL (as it was for many when back in the day) to recommend or has it been considered surpassed by newer shows?

Yes. It was one of the first in the format and I still think its one of the most effective. The cute girls did cute things but it all felt more like it had purpose.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions Episodes 7-10

Oh man, so disappointing. The show totally took a nosedive when it turned into exploring Rikka's dark past and stupid love drama. I really enjoyed the quirky and fun show that was episodes 1-6, so it's disappointing to see it pretty much left behind. Rikka's sad past is hardly interesting and the conclusion can be seen a mile away, while the love drama is even less interesting and generic as hell. This is probably gonna continue for the next 2 episodes. Fuck.

Chuuni starts off strong but falls apart halfway and season 2 does it no more favors. however it is still worth completing I think.

Music rights are a separate thing from show rights, so it goes.

Its kinda weird setup where sometimes only a part of the song is licensed for anime use and the full song is entirely off limits. Like owning an official OST still doesnt net you an entire song but the "OP/ED length version". Also sometimes you end up losing entire things, like Katyusha :(

Show by Rock 1

I don't know what this is.

a glorious pile of squees


Hnnnnnnnnnnggg
Actually very competent CG. I was highly impressed by how well this simple show incorporated CG.

Me: The Animated Series.

you cutie!

WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE,

TO THE NEW AGE.


I just made myself feel sad

I like that song. Come at me dog.

Man, I seem to post less and less in this thread just because it is in community and I don't see it as much and I watch anime at varying times on TV. Just wanted to say hi guys.

*waves and hugs gif

Just wondering

Valid recommendations of school days are still fair game, right? ie: "watch this if you want to see a shocking take on the harem genre"

Of course, i'd want to avoid spoiling its true nature but...

I surely hope so. I actually appreciate the show for what it did different and the balls it had to go in the direction it did.

Show By Rock-1

10-looking-around-suspicious.gif


This is a cartoon I would see on Cartoon Network after school. I want to say I have no clue who the target audience is, as there are S&M jokes, but I do. Um congrats cajun.

CG was nice I guess.

all need be said!

Sup animuGAF, I think I'd like to start watching anime again so if anyone would be so kind as to tell me where to deposit my hype for this season I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Show By Rock, Plastic Memories, Food porn, the dungeon show. I cant remember all the names >_<

I'd watch this Show by Rock! thing to see what all the fuss is about, but I don't exactly want to subscribe to Funimation when I'm already subscribed to Crunchyroll, you see.

Speaking of Crunchyroll, quote this message for three wonderful guest passes, if anyone wants any.


You can sign up for temporary free pass at Funimation.

Because of how illegal that would be, right?

I was talking more internationally. Plus I don't mind this one as much. Singles are cheaper to collect - though they can add up, especially when it comes to character songs.

Dog Days 01

Okay, this isn't what I expected. I was expecting a blood furry game of thrones.

Even though the whole concept is dumb, it is really entertaining.

For some reason the writer really like to use purple eye for the main character in all his shows.

Well that would be interesting but nearly as cute!
Also the writer knows exactly what he's doing as purple eyes are superior.


Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Neko Gitaroo Man - 01

Fuck yeah.

THIS WAS MADE FOR US BEAR

Sorry, didn't know that was a bad thing.....and done.

Yeah its one of the quickest ways onto animeGaf mod shitlist.

Wait wait , this wasn't the force Cast , it was the strikers Cast ( they were on the ennemy side before the church released them from their brainwashing. )

I like Xenovias design but Koneko is really why I want to watch DxD. Is it actually good or just fanservice fodder?
I cant really figure out WHAT it is about.

The Human Yurimentality Project?

This sounds like a marvelous idea. I will fund the kickstarter.

Walkure Romanze 01



Jousting, eh?

Guess they'll explain why Takahiro doesn't do jousting any more later on, and the cafe Mio is working at is named Tart Time? Hm...

Anime jousting is a bit different from normal jousting.

I was talking more internationally. Plus I don't mind this one as much. Singles are cheaper to collect - though they can add up, especially when it comes to character songs.

Thats true now. It wasnt though not very long ago.
I cant help but feeling like the anime OST market in the US was mismanaged from the get-go. I do have several albums. I dont have the NOIR ones , which I deeply regret not being able to find.

I guess S2 Ep. 7 of Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere must just be broken right now, so I started watching other stuff




I really had no idea that was bad, bad, bad. Thanks to those that got on me real quick to remove it...

We tell you because we love you
