I'll pop by KyoAni store once a month until I leave lol in the vain hopes (I go to Kyoto on the reg so it's not that big a deal).

I wonder if there's somewhere in DenDen Town that might have stock tho

Mandarake Grandchaos might have some pre-owned ones. Didn't have time to check there.
 
Dimension W 07

So Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and the rest of NERV forced Rashid of the Turbulent Wind to form a group to investigate Easter Island which comprises of Blade, fat Hansel and Gretel, Nico Bellic, That lady from the Bounty Hunter TV show in Cowboy Bebop, Izanagi, and a guy so American I started calling him Hamburger Ronald Reagan. Just wanted to make sure I'm following the plot correctly.

Samurai Flamenco is the true successor to Code Geass.
This explains a lot.

i don't understand love lab at all, i coasted through 5 episodes and just hit this wall at episode 6. I just can't watch this, I don't know why. It's well made and I like the characters and stuff but there's something that just completely fails to capture my interest that just occurs here

Buuuuu. Maybe it's the heightening of the drama about Riko's lie ?

It's cut from the same cloth. Code:Breaker in particular has the same sort of quirky gimmicky cast that is directly lampooned by main girl here. It's also clear that they're gonna get "powers" based on this whole pain stuff, the same way other works of this kind draw on a single simple concept to create their power systems so that characters can actually have fights (ghouls, yokai, shintoist deities like in Noragami, "exorcists", whatever thingie gave them powers in Code:Breaker, you name it). The shady organizations/experiments, the one character who is a figure of authority and puts the plot to work, the pseudoscience angle to the setting, tons of exposition to establish all the relevant concepts at once - all of these are super common in these stories. I could call the structure of the whole episode just from the first flashback and the OP.

I mean, you may very well be right but at the moment, there is barely an inkling of any special powers given to them and no sight of any kind of enemies to fight with. (Unless they'll be pummeling those mascots) The fact that they haven't established either within the first episode, makes it possible that it will not turn out as generic as you think.

So Gainax have gone into the tomato farming business.

EDIT> 700 yen for a tiny bottle of tomato juice? No wonder they had to sell all their IPs off.
Big O S3 confirmed.

Their duel was fated.
This show has a knack for taking various personal and interpersonal issues and making them the focus of the proceedings but without making the characters massive drama queens. Respect.

There is actually a surprising amount of fishing trivia in this. I knew going in that this was about 4 guys with fishing poles standing next to water but somehow I didn't actually expect the actual, proper, fish catching to play that much of a role. I've no clue about the subject so I dunno exactly how accurate it is or whether it's just skims the surface but to my ignorant self, it's pretty enlightening.

It'll probably whittle out in two weeks or so imho. No new material for it or anything.

I might steal it for some 4komas
 
Yuki Yuna is a Hero 1-4

This is a damn good show. Lots of Madoka vibes (seems heavily inspired but wouldn't call it a rip off) and it seems like so many death flags are thrown up. Got hooked by the end of ep 1.
 
Wagnaria 2 1-13

Needs more Matsumoto. I also kind of expected that bit where Takanashi thought Inami liked Sato to be taken more seriously, but of course it was immediately played off as a joke lol.

Damn blonde Bostonian... Next thing you'll know she'll have Pats unis...
triRage TABLEFLIP

Ah crap I forgot she's from Boston, probably a patriots fan. Nvm burn it down, Ellen Baker was a mistake, it's nothing but trash.

Don't be fuckin with Boston ya'll.

Yeah, it goes pretty dark places as well, but nothing like Madoka.


Nobody uses it, :(
 
Not yet. I have the ones for Episodes 3+4 (Collection #2), 9+10 (Collection #5), 11+12 (Collection #6), and 13 (Collection #7).

In terms of instrument porn, 13 (Collection #7) is by far the most impressive.

If by any completely random chance you see Collections #1, #3, or #4, just mail 'em my way and i'll give money!

I'm a bit jealous; those keyframe collections look excellent.

Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou - The Last Song: 14

It’s really nice to have this show back and for it to return on a very good note. A few more questions were raised but I think it was a good start showing the internal struggle Shiba Raito had that took him to his current state of mind. Also Kikko is going to have to be a bit more cautious haha and still don’t trust Emi at all. And the new OP and ED are pretty great.

Re:Zero: 2

Well at least he knows what’s going on now.

Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou: 1

Eh…may keep up with this.
 
I don't want prints. I need the originals!

What do they do with the originals anyway. File them? Shred them? Bind them to give as a mother's day present?

Depends on the show/studio I guess. They might do any of those you mentioned, give them away as prizes or sell them.
 
Cardcaptor Sakura 04

Man this is really giving me one of those moments when I appreciate how anime looked in the late 90s. Also watching the OP every episode has successfully washed away the terrible dubbed opening Narag reminded me of a few days ago.

Gundam Thunderbolt 3

Jesus. The story is starting to feel like an anti-gundam as they point out how impractical and traumatic it would be to actually use child soldiers. Io just uses them as human shields.

Brutal episode and the death count is huge. And the worst part is the fight seems so pointless and neither side will really gain anything from winning.

This is probably the only safe gif I can find and this is of the stepdad. I know you all said this was trash, but I didn't realize it was complete and total trash, like hentai trash.... From chocolate covered bananas to chocolate lipstick antics and that is just scratching the surface..... Oh my, this is wrong on soooo many levels. But hey, they are not related by blood and daddy/mommy support it, so why not? I need to find a good story to watch and not this for the time being..

You watch both the anime and the OVA series?

If not, you aren't done yet.

I'm in awe every time I see just how much they paid attention to the lighting and reflections for each of the instruments. It really is one-of-a-kind.
Hopefully I can finish the set somehow!

lol. maybe i should go up and grab a set after i watch the recap movie

I put END as in I might just stop there.... This is a little too, umm, hardcore for my tastes. Although some of the show is rather funny, but I'll be damned it's completely fettish wish fulfillment.......

I'm trying to purge my mind at the moment....

Went on a mecha binge to cleanse my brain after, it was all the warnings in this thread that peaked my curiosity but I've learnt my lesson. ITT hyperbole is reserved for boring and generic shows, shows like this people mean the things they say.

Yeah, I realize that.... I should have read the warnings closer like with Green Green....

I wonder if anyone can guess the anime from the first 4 pics...

Also, I saw this one online and it looked familiar, but I cannot remember. Anyone know what it is from? Looks like Phantom World...

Yoo, this show is fucking insane. And i can't believe Suzuki allow their logo to be on the show despite being looks down at every opportunity by the other girls.
I think we have a candidate for scumbag dad of the year.
Let me say that the cg is still ugly and animation is mediocre, but i like the humor and this show weirdness.

:D Didn't mean to come off as a Grand Old Sage of the thread but boy did KxS age my soul some. I still have a festering morbid curiosity about Green Green though, aside from the OVAs is it at least a good deal less creepy than KxS?

Tamako Market. Probably the movie.

Interesting. I haven't watched that one as of yet.

So Tomako Love Story is the successor to Tomako Market?

I actually think what I've seen from KxS is actually more innocent and natural than the pervy trash the best buds do in GG.... Both are just not right...
 
The Log Horizon ED is too much for me. The shot of the little red umbrella bobbing back and forth tugged hard at my heart.

Should have watched the Nyanners review.
 
yen press/ yen on licensed them
I just got book 4 of the devil is a part timer in the mail today.
book 5 will be out in august.

be careful when buying it though as devil has released in both manga and novel form, so make sure you are buying the one you want.

if you order from amazon just check the publisher.
Yen on is the light novel company
yen press is the manga company.

there are 14 or 15 books to the series, with more to come as it is an ongoing series.
from this it seems that the anime covered books 1 and 2.

I am not sure how much was covered though as it's two series down on my read list (gonna catch up with SAO, then irregular at magic high, and then devil is a part timer to pass time until oct where book 5 of no game no life comes out (which is the second book after the anime ended)
They're pretty cheap too. I'll buy the first one and see how I like it, thanks for the info.
Edit: they don't release digitally until April 19 so I gotta wait :/

It is and it's very good so check it out if you have any interest.

I was going to jump ahead and watch the movie, but I figured the background info might be really helpful.



Tamako Market ep. 1-2
pTK1j8N.gif

This show is friggen' weird stuff but has a fun whimsicle charm to it at the same time. It's definitely your standard SoL fare, but the talking bird and the pretty flower shop girl with the manly voice add a really weird aspect to the show. The characters are interesting so far, but let's see what happens.. That damn ED is catchy as hell, lol.
