Sure, but after that first episode I bet a lot of people decided that, while they enjoyed the show, it wasn't worth getting up at 5 something in the morning for. It's similar to how broadcast shows have huge ratings for their first episode, but lose a few million on the second. Some people just don't find it worth watching live/as soon as it goes up.

Watch the entire FMV and have to say, I can see the potential of this game into an anime show or movie. Watching the 3 right now.

Finally, a protest I can get behind.
Finally, a protest I can get behind.
I don't know if I'll ever watch the new season of Crystal because of stuff like this. The original anime made Mimette into a fun character, more than just a one off villain. I liked how it did that with most of the antagonists, who were very minor in the manga, but became more fleshed out in the anime. Crystal has always struck me as losing that sense of camp and fun that the original had.
Natsume Yuujinchou Roku: 1
That is one gorgeous opening. Wasn't expecting an episode like that but it wasn't bad. A reminder that Natsume really had it tough when he was younger, thinking no one would want him or be friends with him. Of course that has already changed greatly but it was nice to see this version of himself believe it in the end too.

If I do something like that now, I'll probably end up being turned into a campy Sailor Moon villain myself!
That could have it's perks though. I'd have to think it over.

Alice & Zoroku: episode 1 and 2
Thought this was going to be the grandpa/granddaughter version of Zatch Bell
Seems to be going more for a more tender vibe, which is fine. Gramps is hilarious

Do not unwant!
Isn't it already dubbed on Netflix?
Yeah, just found that out. They'll just be using whatever they had on Netflix for it. I saw that the BD would be dubbed and assumed it wasn't dubbed already. My bad!

Finished my rewatch of Death Parade and almost finished Beyond the Boundary rewatch over the weekend with my roommate. Actually surprised my roommate is enjoying BoB so much as he usually doesn't like KyoAni shows to the extent I do.
Both shows are still fantastic and I am looking forward to watching BoB's OVA for the first time.

Stardust Crusaders 8
"It's dangerous for Polnareff to be alone," so instead of going to his hotel room to check on him we'll just wait here for him to show up. Talk about idiocy. Also, it doesn't really make sense that Silver Chariot can't see places that Polnareff himself can't see, since elsewhere the series implies that Stand users can see through their Stand's eyes, such as last episode when Kakyoin used Hierophant Green to search the nooks and crannies of the giant ship. Or heck, the enemy Stand user in this episode.
But I find these kind of oddities endearing in Jojo, and Yasufumi Soejima's storyboarding and direction is quite strong in creating the proper horror feel in this episode. His eccentricities are used to good impact, such as his interest in CG leading to a number of creative point-of-view shots and a dynamically moving camera as well as a general reliance on unsettling and distorted angles and layouts. Quite strong music direction as well; the music is paced really well with the ebb and flow of action to create the proper atmosphere. Soejima has always been one of the greatest assets to the Jojo TV project, down to his conception of Diamond is Unbreakable's incredible third OP.

Gundam Build Fighters Try Episode 7
Why would you do a serious "I'm dying, so I want to you to Gunpla for me..." story? Just why? The first season brought this idea up as a joke. Why is this season so serious in comparison to the first? Where is the fun Gunpla action?
Oh geez...

At least the show realized how stupid these guys were.

They are almost FUNI level on the dubbing speed. That BLAME! film getting that day 1 dub. Also there Netflix-original stuff don't just get dubbed in english usually. Seven Deadly Sins had like 4 language on release.
Of course I would want them to simulcast, but that quick dubbing speed makes it so I don't mind waiting.
I loved that episode, probably my favourite of all TRY even. I thought the brother relationship was really well done. Made for a very heartfelt story. Shame you did not like it.
I don't think being able to see through your stand is even used much outside of Hierophant Green, Echoes and Star Platinum tbh
There's others we know can't do it like Highway Star and Aerosmith (I think?) that use other means to operate in long distance
So I don't find it that odd Polnareff can't do it tbh

Grimoire of Zero 6
Oh no I wonder what will happen seeing how the episode ended right on
possibly next episode!

them 'ending' their contract after the 'betrayal' of trust. No other anime has ever done this, if only they'd regain each others trust with a new layer to the relationship by the next time they join forces and get together

Kino's Journey- END
Overall, Kino's Journey was fun to follow and learn the lore and customs of each country she visited. I wish there were more adventures to go on with Kino...
There was something very wrong about that last country... Something very very wrong. Kino saw her younger self in Sakura and I was hoping she said she wanted to become a traveler too, but that ending...... WTF.... So much wrong with thr citizen's decisions; their rationalization made as little sense as the last country that murders a third group of people, just so they don't kill each other anymore....

There are two short (30 minute) films as well, and obviously there's the new series coming at some point this or next year, so there's plenty more to see!

It's just an example of how the "rules" governing Stands are so variable with minimal binding logic. That's why I accept each encounter as it comes rather than trying to think ahead of Araki.
Will buy.

Man I was counting on sakugabooru to give me the whole OfA activation as a small clip, but seems the whole too much MHA on the site limited the episode to 2 vids

Cube logistics are serious business.
We're now reaching 'dude, your good intentions are getting legit creepy'-territory.
Infinite energy due to some super technology is all fine and dandy, but removing the need for sleep by brain modification/replacing is kind of fucked up, even though it would be super handy to have.

Yeah, at the end of the day the only truly universal rules is that stand users are drawn to each other

Serial Experiments Lain 2-6
Lain is blessed with a very special family. A creepy dad that loves hardware and an even creepier mother that only seems to eat and kiss.
Also, I still can't understand Lain, the character. I don't understand if she's good or evil, if she knows what she's doing or not, if she realizes her room looks like a jungle.
The show definitely outweirds almost anything I've watched, but it remains very interesting. I just can't believe that it will eventually have an explanation for everything it has shown, but its thematic and the fact that a higher power exists, kind of allows that, so maybe it's not impossible.

Lain's sister was the only one that acted like a normal person and she was erased from existence or something, like a punishment for being normal.

Waiting for your reaction to 08.
Should rewatch a few bits out of this, it's been a long while.

Oh yeah, the rights to the first season of Black Butler is going back Aniplex at the end of the month two, so if anyone still wants the blurays, buy them while they're still available and affordable.
