Millennium Actress:
I've already seen Satoshi Kon's Paprika and Tokyo Godfathers, and used to the listen to the Paprika soundtrack a lot and came across the track "Run" from Millennium Actress, after hearing that I've been meaning to watch it for quite some time now and I finally did. I would say I enjoyed it overall; it starts with two documentary filmmakers filming the story of the retired star Chiyoko. As she tells her story the line between her actual life and her films blur.
It blurred so much that about halfway through the movie I just got so confused lol it didn't really bother me though since it stayed entertaining. The way they went through her life/films allowed them to show many different eras and the transitions were seamless, truly great. I think my favorite scene was this one when they actually used the track "Run" and you can see the times changing as Chiyoko was riding along.
I still feel like I've enjoyed Paprika the most and maybe even understood it more surprisingly haha but glad I finally checked this out, it was worth the time. Will probably check out Paranoia Agent next.

Another Episode with all the Strengths and Weaknesses of this show. More Cliffhangers, dramatic tension and the slight shift village setting is a little refreshing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the result of Deku's obsession with the heroes and quirks? He detailed literally everything he could learn about every hero and villain he met. It just turned out he could actually use that info once he got One For All.

dimb might mean there's not much in the character for the viewer to invest in emotionally or intellectually.
MHA is not some Tolkien/Martin like work that makes it unadaptable. It's just for whatever reason, everybody is bringing their C game at best. A perfect example is Hayashi who is just reusing his GBF work and not even be able to match that quality. Compare his work on MHA and Kiznaiver and it's lightyears different.
You then have the art directors who I'm not even sure are competent. Shockingly they also worked on OPM which also had a ton of similar issues. OPM at least had the insane animation quality bailing it out.

Subete no aware
Don't get me wrong, I like Harmon. But like all comics, he clearly has a disturbed personality that allows for his creativity.
I still love the part where he confessed to having a leg fetish, so he bought a mannequin leg as a "toy" and had to basically explain it to his girlfriends. Then he had to go through the angst of whether or not a girlfriend was good enough to get rid of his leg. That's probably where the Dean comes from. lol
He's very good at coming up with stuff on the fly. He does a lot of research but he's also really fast on his feet.

I want to see the live acton of Orange. Hopefully CR can get that.
I meant more in the broad sense of a person who is curious to learn about the world and wants to learn. Deku's base of knowledge comes from an otaku obsessive mentality that essentially idolizes the pursuit of useless information. It is a self serving message that winks back at the most hardcore fans of superhero garbage. More than that, these behavioral patterns are often only utilized for the sake of convenience. Deku does not investigate or really catalogue those surrounding him in school in the way one might think would fit this sort of personality.
but they are moving forward. They have been dropping lots of new info with each episode and despite being stuck in the same few days really building up things nicely.
highly doubt he dies there though, they have been good with the animation and he wasn't bit anywhere serious.
just to many important flags triggered to respawn this time. If I am wrong, not a big deal, despite going on longer really the arc keeps getting better with each episode.

This better not awaken anything in me....
It gets into spoilers a bit but he does analyze people around him
for example he starts to mirror Baku's fighting style because of the high agility
For example with one villain he was able to assess his weakness fairly quickly with little to go on

That was a really great episode. However, it was too freaking depressing.
Seriously this anime is good but damn is it just an endless cycle of depression.
I knew it
That was a really great episode. However, it was too freaking depressing.
That letter from Suzuha got to me. It made me sad because you could feel her dread and sorrow on how she failed everyone. That her life was basically a waste. It's just so depressing especially when she kept on repeating the sentence "I Failed". I got a bit teary eyed during that scene.

I knew it
, that Hashida was related to Suzuha. The reunion felt very bittersweet.

Shigemi Ikeda can be a proficient art director, but he and Atelier Musa are very prolific, so a lot depends on how much the show's director cares about investing in background quality. I expect most of their work is done quickly and cheaply.

Blehhhh didn't really like this arc. It would've been fine as a Goten/Trunks/Monoka little side adventure but it just wrapped around to Goku and Vegeta fighting again. Really?

but that should really help resolve the issue next time .

the first hour was pretty boring--like, the gimmicky personalities that come across so cleanly in the heat of battle feel stretched and worn during a rather extended stretch of downtime--but the second half was really fierce stuff. The all-star appeal of it reminded me of Eyeshield 21's final arc, as far as the concept goes, where all the rivals from the regular series gather together to defeat some greater foe. Here, the University team; there, the Americans.
Thankfully that's where the comparison ends. No 'black muscles' here; the movie will be remembered for the ingenuity of its setpieces and its daring storyboarding/camerawork. The second half of the movie is basically a nonstop brawl with steadily rising stakes (with the Bridge sequence getting a shout out for being really fucking cool), and ends with a wordless battle where the lack of verbal communication is testament to the coordination and skill of those involved. This was just really fun.

Re:Zero 09
I KNEW IT. THE SPELL. I KNEW THAT EVENT HADN'T HAPPENED FOR NO REASON!!! Goddamnit, I wish it had been something else because all signs were pointing towards that.
The scene in which
was nuts. Lastly, I really hope that Subaru

Rem died as well due to her good nature. Subaru didn't go grocery shopping with her so she ended up petting the dog that got her cursed.
The scene in which
she went berserk
doesn't die, simply because I don't want another reset lol.

Hey Anime-GAF,
I'm sorry but i have a weird question for you guys :
I'm looking for a gif i've seen before on GAF, it's a man calling some sort of hooker / prostitute agency, expecting a beautiful looking girl, but an ugly girl comes and he let her in...
I'm looking for the .gif, but also for the name of the anime. Thank you very much guys !

I haven't realized it immediately but Okabe has really changed as a character. His character development has been really great. If you compare the Okabe from episode 1 to now they're completely different characters. His chunni personality and obnoxious personality has mostly disappeared. He's more serious and he expresses his emotions without being over the top.
The time loops really affected him greatly and the anime wonderfully conveys it. I'm proud to say this series is really doing a fantastic job especially with the time travel gimmick. Farris subplot in this episode was nicely done.

Endride ep.9
Any anime where humans and dragons can interact in a peaceful way can always get a pass in my book. Not a bad episode overall and the adventure aspect has gotten much better the past couple episodes. I knew there was a reason Flaring was a good mascot/familiar character...

Space Battleship Yamato 8
Not a lot to this one as it was just the battle against the Pluto base. The path is cleared to exit the solar system and Earth will no longer be bombarded at least. What's amusing is the delayed fuse shells the Yamato uses against the reflective satellite cannon was actually a callback to the ticking down of the time bombs set by hand in the TV series.

For a while. Then, there's a scene where he walks through a corridor or something and we get his "real" appearance with blue skin. Although I don't think they ever try to make up an excuse for why he was using a different look initially, in spite of making that scene showing his appearance changing.

Elaborate fan theories about production screw ups or mid show retcorns are my favorite thing.
i'm finding it difficult to believe mha is a 'bad' show. it's certainly not the sure-fire triumph I secretly hoped for but neither is it the vomit-strewn mess some of you making it out to be. It's a pretty solid middle of the road let down by plodding pacing, excessive flashbacks, and barely-above-competent art direction.
it really does emphasise how much of the manga's strengths are in the art and pacing though because yeeeeesh.

This show has no weaknesses. Love every episode, and every one leaves me excited for next week's. Favorite show of the season.
Subaru got so fucking close to the Good Ending this time! I hope he lived through this route. If not, I bet he's gonna try to kill that little dog and come off with a moderate/bad ending with everyone.

Nijiiro Days ep.8-10
Nacchan just needs to confess already dammit. I like the tone of the show as it really depicts how a group of bros act when the aRe trying to hool up with girls by acting like good wingmen and helpin out; even if a little hazing of each other is involved. That reveal at the end with the imouto of one of the boys liking one of them, uh ohh.... lol
This is pretty good stuff and fun to watch.

This?
It's from "Yondemasuyo, Azazel-san" and I think the second season.
Pretty funny show with outlandish humour but felt the first season was a lot stronger than the second, still recommended.
Kiznaiver-8
So this is getting pretty meta. It's like I'm watching shipping wars on the internet inside an actual show. All we need now is for the characters to have a shipping chart, oh. All the interconnectivity between pairings is definitely reminding me of True Tears. It's probably going to end in the same amount of actual tears too. I'm not sure if I like this general direction for the narrative because that's when drama gets the heaviest and I think I would have liked more backgrounds for the other Kiznaivers and delving into them before getting to this point. Hisomu in particular feels really shallow and serves primarily as the monkey in the wrench. This is where I think it might have been better if the show was two-cour as we could have gotten more time and lead-up to this.
Holy fuck
This is somehow rivaling JoJo as the best looking show this season and it's actually improving visually. Is this Trigger? The lighting being this good is really aiding the drama as it's reflecting the darkness in the characters and showing the complexity of what each character is feeling. It seems the show is delving into the troubled history regarding the Kiznaiver experiments and the storm is great at not only creating locked room scenarios but also visually reflecting the turmoil in all the characters. It's thematically fitting that Katsuhira rushes into the storm when he possibly gets his memories back and is confronting Noriko.
Lighting game still strong despite the occasional misstep.
Let me just say that the ending was flat out amazing. It's not just that Chidori gets blown the fuck out in the most humiliating way possible. It's a really well directed scene on an audio-visual front. The zoom-in when he opens the door was a great character moment for Katsuhira as it seems like he's reverting back to what he was and reflects his current intensity. I wonder if Katsuhira's monotone speaking style will drop soon, representing his return to 'normality'.
Working hard to retain her title as Best Girl.
The music was on point. Based Hayashi delivering. I can't rave enough about that last track. The sound direction should be applauded too for example the bass kicks in just when Katsuhira gets his memories so the audience knows it's a dramatic moment.

The whole virtual LBX battle was really neat. The visuals were top notch.

All of those are really egregious shortcomings. But the story is also a total bore and most of the characters are lame. There's not really any defined plot or goal beyond general training. It just blows. The thirteen episode run will end and most people will be hard pressed to even find high moments that validate its existence.

I have no plans to watch Three Leaves, Three Colors, because shows about girls doing cute things just don't entertain me.
But it's got some nice animation.

Going from a serious episode in episode 11 to something a little goofy in episode 12 was interesting to say the least. Shirley is still best girl.
But that ending to episode 12. Nooooo...
