All right, so...am I crazy, or is Windermere WWII-era Japan? Past periods of isolation and anti-foreign resentment, vaguely feudal military influence, it starts the war off with surprise attacks against much larger opponents...Part of me thinks these shared elements are clear and intentional, but another part of me thinks that this level of political self-criticism is very rare in anime and that I'm probably just reading things into it from an American perspective. What say you, thread?

I thought they were russian ripoffs.

The final is going to be awesome.
There also appears to be something going on behind the scenes, but who cares, V-MODE!

ZI EMPERA! You know an attack is powerful if just activating it makes the entire CARDBOX SHAKE!
Awesome fight from beginning to end. I find it hilarious that Jin only lost because his toy robot couldn't keep up with his input speed, lol.
Man, that world tournament is going to be crazy.

Yes. It is the anime thread after all.

good,fuck that movie

what they done to hinata's boobs are unforgivable.

also,i guess
killer bee is still alive, right? why they didn't mention him in the movie? Even the raikage didn't know
what about
the scientist?

Kare Kano ep.15
First half was the rest of the review for the first half of the series. The second half was some introspection for Yukino, as well as sone Asapin story about how similar his disposition is to Arima's.

My backlog on Crunchyroll has got so overwhelming I watched Kll La Kill again on netflix instead.
Still love the soundtrack in that show.
Now I've moved on to Your Lie in April. Can already tell it will break me.

My Bride is a Mermaid ep.21
Lol, that love potion was so dangerous, even San's mom wanted a bite, lol. Then that confession scene, oh my, Amazonian woman, so funny. I'm going to miss this show when the last 5 episodes are done.
 
Twin Star exorcists 5

Oh well they went full original. I wonder how they integrate all that stuff with the original story.
Even if that original character screamed cool add-on I still liked him. Great episode!

Enmado Rokuro for OPM junior.

Edit:I stand corrected he's not original my bad.

The new Boruto manga is going over the Boruto movie and Hinata's bust is now gone.

Honestly more offensive than Shippuden filler.

He's not an original character, just someone introduced way later in the manga.

According to RightStuf, the second domestic Fate/Zero BD set is out of print. If this is true and it's not just out of stock for now, whoever still wants to grab it should act fast and pick it up elsewhere before it's gone for good.

Claymore ep.1
Half woman, half beast with yellow eyes and she can kick ass without giving two fucks. It's an original Mumei with a sword, lol. Seriously though, that got pretty dark really quick, but it was a pretty good intro. I just hope that MC grows up really quickly because he was a turd in this episode.

The Boruto movie is fascinating because the studio animating Naruto decided they should release that before finishing Naruto.
 
Kyousougiga TV 3

The segment reused from the 2012 ONAs sticks out like a sore thumb, both because it has considerably more visual energy than the rest of the episode and because it has nothing to do with the rest of the episode and does not further Kurama's characterization in any way. The new segment added at the end has to do an awkward job of trying to connect it a little with the larger plot. Interestingly, the 2012 segment was storyboarded by Hiroshi Kobayashi, currently directing Kiznaiver, while the new material was storyboarded by staple Toei director Hiroyuki Kakudou. You can definitely see a gap in their respective skills; Kakudou's segments feel a lot more haphazard with its framing, the conversation between Koto and Kurama standing out poorly for seemingly throwing around camera angles at random.

i'm not spending 500 on a blu ray series. If it was at an acceptable price I'd consider it.
 
That's the import. The domestic is around $150 per set (and the first set went out of print last year). I don't know if that's more of an acceptable price to you or not. :p

150 is more acceptable, still on the steep side. I'd consider if Fate Zero stopped streaming in all of the services it's currently on, but with it in everything I have no immediate to own it. Reminds me I'm curious of Space Dandy ever went down in price.

I haven't seen Space Dandy go down in price at all. The series seems relatively popular over here, so I can imagine it will get a cheaper Anime Classics release from Funimation eventually.
 
Curious, for those that have bought from both Funimation's store and from Right Stuf, for their base shipping, which is quicker?

I haven't bought from Right Stuf recently, but Funimation will often send things out early, sometimes so early they'll arrive before they're actually supposed to go on sale.

Oh damn. I'll grab from them then. Thinking of grabbing the re-release of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time on Blu-Ray :).

Bakoun episode 5

This show keeps getting nuttier and nuttier. Filming people trying to commit suicide and not tyring to stop them! Teachers who turn into lesbians when drunk! BDSM! Boob sponging your bike clean!

There are certainly some... colorful characters preparing for the Interhigh. It's interesting to see the contrast between Hakone's equalized team and Midousuji's "I'm the only one who matters" team.

White Album ep.10-12
Wow, so thus guy is a mess. He only loves his GF, but is now banging her manager for "reasons,"
well he got dumped by his GF anyway
or did he? I'm so confused as to what is really going on, lol. The older chick he confessed to wasn't really a confession and she's with another guy now. The girl he was teaching is now friends with his childhood friend that loves him... This is terrible and amazing at the same time, lol.

It's almost as if it's 2001 and I'm reading Big Brother impressions.

Claymore ep.2
This MC cries and whines more than Deku, wtf. I mean, sure, Clare's life clearly sucks being a silver eyed witch and all, but chill dude, you just met her. Anyhow, enough on Rakugo master cryer. This is a lot darker than I thought it would be and it almost looks like the show will follow these two around until
Clare turns into a monster herself

Show isn't amazing, but its enjoyable enough. Solid cast of characters, occasionally funny.

Similar to Kekkai Sensen, I think the show works better as a stand alone episode affair. The main plotline does nothing for me, but the characters keep me coming back.

Hey guys remember when Ando said he was impressed with the action in Winter Soldier while talking about Under the Dog? I wonder if he watched Civil War yet. Too bad he doesn't have a Twitter account so I can't stalk him!

Don't do it man. Don't watch claymore!!!

The show just turns into twisted torture porn and raki is a punk the entire way through.

It's nice that the second-years are getting a little time to shine before they inevitably get shunted to the side again once the Interhigh starts.
