Thank you for the comments everybody, I read them all and they meant a lot to me. I didn't intend to bring any negative vibes to the thread, I guess I've always kept everything bottled up in my life, and I just needed to get it out there. This is a positive community, so sorry again for being negative. Your words mean a lot to me. I always have ups and downs and I guess today was one of those days where I just felt down. Self diagnosis generally leads you to see things that aren't there, but I think regardless, these feelings that I have are true and inside of me, so regardless, I need to change and become happier. I hate myself and I guess I run away from my problems and try to avid facing them head on. I don't know if things will change, but I will try to love myself more and become a more positive person in the process, because in the end I just want everybody to be happy. Sorry for being a burden on everybody and from detracting from this threads positive vibes, I don't want to be an attention seeker who sucks all of the life out of the room, I guess I just needed somebody to listen. Hopefully this doesn't make people think lesser of me, or that I'm weak, I guess that line of thinking is why I kept everything inside in the first place. Thanks again, and thank you for the link to the mental health thread, I feel scared to post there but will keep it handy for the next time I'm feeling down and leave this thread for the anime Thanks.

no worries.

Loving Blood Blockade Battlefront so much.
Probably my favorite in a while.

Matsumoto has a very 'fast' direction style. She will establish something quickly visually and move on from it just as fast. I wouldn't say it's incoherent but I would say it can be hard to follow. I'll give you an examples in episode 9:

So Leo is handing the name to Klaus.

However something is striking at him from out of the ground. The audience doesn't know the source nor why that's happening. In fact in an earlier frame, the Blood Breed is established as far away from Leo.

There's a jump cut along with blood implying that Leo was hit.

However it turns out that the blood is from the Blood Breed. It was the Blood Breed striking out from under the ground at Leo but the Blood Breed is shot by KK, stopping its attack on Leo.

None of this was ever stated, and this sequence was done through a number of jump cuts. It's only when we see the Blood Breed recoiling, later established to be from KK sniping him, that it's apparent what happened. It's an extremely quick visual sequence that takes up a total of 7 seconds. After which Dog Hummer grabs Leo and jumps off the building in order to secure Leo's safety. If the viewer didn't pick up that Leo was under attack, they would be wondering why Hummer jumped off the building with Leo.

Yeah me too, I'm just loving the fun atmosphere it emits.

After watching about 7 episodes so far of Kyousougiga, Matsumoto definitely has a distinct direction style which is similar to Kekkai Sensen. From what I can see her direction style can either be loved by people or disliked due to her fast direction. Though I'm one of those people that love her fast direction style and one of the reasons why I really love both Kyousougiga and Kekkai. So yeah I can definitely see why there may be a split on the direction because I've seen some people say that the pacing seems too rushed or that it should be better handled. All that has to due with preference imo because it's definitely doesn't have to do with bad direction.

Anyways I'm just glad Matsumoto is getting some recognition from Kekkai Sensen which I'm really glad because it means more works done by her. She's a really talented director.

I'll always look at you as the one programming language that I enjoy, but that at my school was taught by a shitty prof. So I like you, but the baggage and negativity that you have not so much. We'll make sure to cast that shitiness you feel aside and talk about great anime and beautiful anime girls like Iroha. Keep your chin up!

[Cornbread78]

Thank you for the ..Thanks.

No worries bro stick around and enjoy yourself here.

Maybe I'll do an episode by episode breakdown of the first arc in SAO so you can laugh at the ensuing hate and anger to get to read, lol.

Cross Anger. thats a good name for it.

Cross Anger. thats a good name for it.

They actually make that joke in one of the later next episode previews. They are pretty self-aware in general, but that one took the cake.

 

[Cornbread78]

Cross Anger. thats a good name for it.

Friggen' mobile auto-correct is annoying.

 

[Phatmac]

This really applies to so many things, but no one has the balls to admit it.

Well, outside of Kirkman with The Walking Dead. He takes pleasure in admitting that there's no ending whatsoever because he wants to keep it going forever. lol

When this scene came up the first thing I thought about was LOST.

I disabled that mofo a long time ago.

It iwll take a special breed of bastard to be like Kyubey.

 

[Angry Grimace]

lol it actually made me uncomfortable considering how into it they got it.

My purity. Gone. Now it's Bible Black all day.

This is a couple of days old, but I literally just laugh out loud whenever I think about that leg lift in Campione.

So I guess it ain't so bad that I didn't pick it up after all lol.

Was the twist that Uchikoshi can in fact write a bad story?

Punchline Episode 9:

Yea, no matter how many twists this show throws at the wall it can't save it from its own mediocrity.

Lol, the sounds and text were even better. If you couldn't see the picture you would completely think something totally different was going on. "I will inject you with my divine protection"

So classic, lol.

Oh Cajun..

Small for his age, Yukinari has been bullied and abused by girls all his life. Now in high school, he has developed a rare condition: whenever girls touch him, or even come close, he breaks out in hives. Imagine his surprise, when he is suddenly transported to the city of Seiren on a mystic world invisibly orbiting the Earth, and populated with vast numbers of women and very few men. Fortunately, he has a new friend, Miharu-chan, whose touch inexplicably doesn't affect him.

 

[nintendoman58]

So I happened to read up on some of these twists that are happening in this Punchline show.

And all I can say is lol.

You guys want REAL plot twists? Watch Samurai Flamenco.

 

[Narag]

Those Who Hunt Elves II 2

Being a protagonist in 90s anime was hell.

Been meaning to pick this one up, I skipped it when it aired. Is this a legitimate recommendation or the typical sarcastic response you just never know here bahahaha

the plot twist is that flamencogirl brings the show down.

A legit recommendation.

The flamenco cannot be described. It must be experienced.

 

[Mandelbo]

I was trawling bandcamp and found this
The album is labelled as "cute" so clearly it's for cajun
She's a pretty good singer

 

[names2hard4you]

I'm scared. But I will look into it, maybe this weekend I'll give it a go. If not, then next week since I have a ton of time off.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 2
Epic start to Yamato's maiden voyage. Captain is an awesome character. Lol at the impractical design of the ship, though. Well, that is true for a lot of science fiction, but this one takes the cake because space=sea instead of space=sky like they usually do.

 

[nintendoman58]

Well, to be perfectly honest, the show isn't repulsive, to say the least. I'm not trolling you and recommending you a show like School Days or anything.

The show is on the List for a reason, but it's nowhere near as bad as some of the other entries on there go.

 

[Puruzi]

You need to watch SamFlam.

It's an experience. A good one.

Did not know it was on The List. To be fair, so is Code Geass and at the time it aired I remember enjoying it a lot.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

There is a subbed audio WebM out for the next Yahari episode containing the Train scene.

And. It. Is. Beautiful.

 

[ibyea]

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 3
Heh, the intro reminds me of the song Korean elders and middle aged people listen to in their car radios. I always called it old people song.

Starting off, lol, that is some Doctor Who level of science bullcrap. Not that I mind because I love Doctor Who. Oh and credit to a creative use of micro black holes, they do indeed release a lot of energy since Hawkings temperature increase inversely proportional to the mass, even if I doubt someone would ever be able to contain the energy.

Show continues being awesome. Got the first real taste of what the battles are going to be like. And that wave motion gun, holy cow. Of course, the superweapon is a bit too powerful for their comfort zone.

It is the spear counterpart to Maria Holic in certain fashions.

So confusing. ..

Synopsis
It’s not easy to find the perfect girl, even when you’re the same sex! Kanako thought attending an all-girls school would be the perfect way to meet the girl of her dreams, but after her hot new roommate turns out to be a guy in drag, and catching the eye of the most popular girl in school only brings down the wrath of all the OTHER similarly obsessed girls, she’s not so sure! Complicate things with a cat-eared dorm leader, her roommate’s rude-mannered maid, an identical twin sister (who attends an all-boys school of course) and WAY too many attractive girls of questionable persuasions and the question becomes whether Kanako will die from frustrated nosebleeds! (Life would be SO much easier if guys didn’t literally give her the hives!) Will Kanako ever find a non-polar opposite of a compatible non-opposing polarity? Let’s just say that the quest for true love will not run straight in Maria Holic.

Not a sci-fi design.
