Now this is a GREAT idea.
It's hard to discuss without going in depths with spoilers but Show By Rock handles drama very well in the show.
Something to look forward to then. It really put me off from the week to week viewing when it started heading down that path as the safe bet is it typically being botched.
I suppose I can say this, the show wraps up drama just as quickly as it pops up. It doesn't linger for multiple episodes and the show tries, and largely succeeds, in making the resolutions emotionally poignant.

Lol, so Outbreak Company was made when he was sober and this was made when he was drunk and high as a kite from the Chronic, right? This is some crazy stuff, lol. But awesome..
I sent it but you were probably lost in Idol world.

This episode will be dated in like, 5 years once no one remembers what Saw is

or you can cheat and make it Tails Tuesday.
Got my BD set of Ping-Pong in today. Pretty impressed with it. Video quality seems pretty good from the two episodes I watched. Subtitles are white, as expected from Funimation. Much easier on the eyes than Sentai's. One odd thing I noticed is that the Japanese subtitles for the Mandarin dialogue are missing. The English subtitles are still there, so you can understand what they're saying, but the Japanese subtitles from the broadcast just aren't there. Not a big deal to me; just something different that I noticed.

Panda-kun is so adorable, pretending to hate Pandas. Hajime being Hajime with her carefree attitude still we see her actually help out with her collage group.
Was that a guy towards the end who had a blonde wig? He looked like a female.

There is so much freedom with GW that they are not even making it.

Turns out I was looking at the wrong one. Character designs were rather similar.

This animation is fucking terrible. Like IMS-tier. Is this production related or are the animators just this damn incompetent?

I could swear people were voicing concerns over the studio responsible spreading themselves too thin before it even aired.
What the fuck? They went over 24 minutes? Did they accidentally make a movie or something?
Interesting.
Let's be honest. The real reason is probably that it isn't fucking done, and they decided that since it's not going to make it on air anyway, they might as well make it as long and crazy as they can. The series has already gone through several production delays! Lol.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
You need better friends if they complain about Shokugeki just saying
That's so unlike BONES that I'm kinda surprised. I mean I could understand with AO as that was a mecha show and the final two episodes were OVA quality. Not to mention it was two episodes.
Just for the finale is weird unless this is Nakamura doing some out of this world cut that is eating untold amounts of time.
It seems like they would want to get this out to capitalize on the show's success but maybe they aren't worried about sales at this point and just would rather put out the best quality.

I hope they scrapped the entire finale to make a 40 minute episode of Zapp eating burgers
But why would this delay prevent them from capitalizing on anything? The TV broadcast is just a token marketing gesture at this point. They're not delaying any of the discs. The final volume won't be out until October anyway. The first volume is already the best selling series BONES has had in many years.
Well a strong finale could bolster BD sales, momentum and all that. This is a highly irregular case so I can't even say that a lack of an ending could also harm sales. Now we might be waiting potentially months for a conclusion and if the finale is mediocre, it could be lost in next season's mix.
This is so unusual for a popular show that I'm curious whether this will impact future sales.

Gankutsuo, or The Count of Monte Cristo IN SPAAAACCCEEEEEE 13-24 End
So, I marathoned the last 12 episodes. Show is incredible. I know the concept of Count of Monte Cristo in space sounds silly, and I am pretty sure the part in which
was never in the source material, but that's fine because it works. Somehow it manages to combine the 18th/19th century landscape with a futuristic one without a hitch. One difference from the source that I think works very well is that the show is in Albert's perspective, and the Count's and his victim's history are a mystery and it is something that is pieced together as the show progress.
The visuals, while hard to get used to, there are moments that are so effective with it that I think it was a great fit. That part when they accessed the database, it was cool as hell. It also gives that oomph when things are falling apart for various characters. Unfortunately sometimes the CGI looks too gaudy to ignore.
The show, once it gets going, is just a never ending pit of despair, holy crap. There is a sort of intensity and awe to the proceeding. As vile as the characters slowly being tortured are, one can't help but feel a sort of horror at the sort of actions Monte Cristo is taking. Ironically enough a lot of the terror is caused by people related to the victims themselves. The Count identifying the follies within them and all he has to do is just give one little push and everything just comes tumbling down as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Even without his scheming, his words, while charming, feels like there is a poison behind it. Paradoxically he is both comforting and sends chills up your spine. On top of that there is the horror that comes from the collateral damage, with people not involved in Dante's imprisonment suffering because of it. If there is one bright spot in the despair is that unlike their shitty parents, the kids are decent and are trying to be decent in horrible times.
While Monte Cristo is a great character, I would like to shine light on one other awesome character, Franz d'Epinay. Out of all the kids, he does the most out of anyone, trying to get to the bottom of the mystery of Monte Cristo and trying to confront the truth head on. He is also very likeable, remaining loyal to his best friends Eugene and Albert and just, gosh sometimes when things are despairing his actions somehow manages to put a measure of hope.
He is one character that appealed to me personally, but they are all great characters.
There were a few elements I didn't like. There was Andrea, whose psychopathy borders on the cheesy, that one time rape was used as a cheap device and promptly forgotten,
, little things that made certain parts a little cheesier than I would have liked.
I think overall it is an extremely solid show and a great, if bizarre adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo.
So, I marathoned the last 12 episodes. Show is incredible. I know the concept of Count of Monte Cristo in space sounds silly, and I am pretty sure the part in which
Monte Cristo basically makes a pact with the devil, and taking the concept of being consumed by vengeance literally

I personally feel like it sort of ruined that mecha duel between the Count and Franz even if the scene was intense.

It's a shame he had to die, but he did so during one of the most epic moment of this character, when he sacrificed himself to save Albert's life.

father all of a sudden repenting after moments ago he attempted murder on both his wife and son, a hug literally defeating Gankutsuo

That's a good lifetime sales number for a vita title.
Did the ghost of novid take over your soul?
Despite your efforts you've never forced a full scale clamp down on this community.
Remind us again why you've been banned? Posting NSFW material that's right.
People think there was no logic to that list and yet it was actually the work of three months work by 67 personnel.
Why wouldn't someone commission more of one of this year's top ten shows?
It satisfies me!
It was AotY for a good reason remember. Keep at it.
Just image if it happened with Greg Wallace on Masterchef
The oracle was right.
This is a decent idea.
Hmmm..
I should be getting Lull in the Sea, My Little monster, and SAO2 sets all very soon.
I bought SAO2 for Sinon's sake and I will probably regret it but oh well I didnt despise S2 as much.
What did you like about the show in particular?
Hehee you tweeted this at me too
So WCW is the good one and MAgical Warfare is the holy shit dont watch it one right?
Haven't seen Magical Warfare, all I can do is attest to the quality of Witch Craft Works.
I was actually pretty surprised by the quality too. One of the better looking shows from them, though I think the color palette and art-style of the show definitely helps keep the IQ consistent.
Dat Muse costume-choice got my heart going all doki doki

Your Lie in April 7-8 [REWATCH]
The imagery and the use of color and lighting make this show quite the visual treat. The piano sequences always sync up beautifully and are animated extremely well. It's fun to see Kousei in his younger days and see how his piano playing
. Even though he has "rivals" they don't
it's that kind of thing where, like I said before, make all the characters in the show really likable.
And now I am ready for the feels train. Awww yeah.

changed the lives of the people who listened to it but conversely how it set him down this dark path
work against him. They want him to do well to help further themselves and to "move" them again.
And now I am ready for the feels train. Awww yeah.
New arrivals today!
Guess that means Denki Gai vol 3 is on its way too.
Im always late to the party even though I order stuff months in advance lol.
