I feel like that's a cop-out unless he actually has sex with someone. Otherwise, he's a horny virgin instead of a eunuch'ed/castrated virgin.
Miracle Train was a magical harem I suppose.

Was the BD transfer that bad?
Okay, somehow I misread and thought that the entirety of Super Dimension Fortress Macross was being censored instead of DYRL. It's equally as fucked up either way, but now I'm curious as to whether there's even been a BD box for SDF Macross announced yet. Anyone have immediate knowledge on this?

It just came out on BD in Japan not too long ago. Kagami even posted pictures of it.

He didn't though. Wasn't it an accident? Besides, unless he provided some kind of service, that's just the natural evolution of the fall into crotch introduction scene.

Why is sex always on your mind? Have you been watching too much HBO?
Great that it's already safely out if Kawamori is apparently willing to molest the property to such lengths now.
maybe he can censor Ranka out of Frontier someday, ololol

Maybe I've been depressed for too long, but it wasn't that dark or depressing to me. Probably would have helped if the characters were worth caring about, besides Homura.
How do you know they're not lying or those segments weren't just blurry already? Sounds like crap to me.

Half accident. He didn't realize she wasn't wearing panties at the time.

Considering that's the source of whatshername's power, I expect he'll probably get at least third base or something to defeat or overcome something.
Not like they'll show it on TV anyway.
Sounds like Amaenaideyo!!

That's the exception!
Of being better when the lead is a pervert I mean. It is similar, but the protag isn't a dumbass monk.
It's Gen Urobuchi.

Lets think about this logically.
1) They're lying.
I don't see any motive for these folks to lie. What do they get out of it? That just seems pointless.
2) These segments were already blurry.
These are the people who run macrossworld. I am pretty sure they're more familiar with the material than any normal human being.
Ha! I guess I'll check it out early tomorrow morning before Evo starts back up.
1) What motive would there be for BV to censor the movie? Why aren't you thinking logically?
2) SD vs HD. You didn't see out of focus shots in SD.
Since when do companies need logical reasons to do anything? It's been years since having seen DYRL so I'm not going to say I remember any of the scenes well enough to comment on it but sometimes people and companies just do something for illogical reasons. There's as good a chance it's censored as not in my opinion.
fortunately we live a world where we don't need to imagine that!
I've been waiting ages for the BD release to check this out but if that's true then... fuck.

It just feels like the grade school version of sex. Which is fine, since anime is for children (of body or of mind), but anime manages to find a way to even make drinking breast milk straight from the source clinical and non-sexual.
Either way, I'm just saying that these guys don't get credit just because they think about sex. Heck, for all the body humour in Gintama, Gintoki is about as virginal as Shinpachi if you actually think about it. He gives sex tips, but for all you know, everything he knows about sex comes from To Love Ru and whatever else he reads!

I'm not familiar with any of his other works. All I know is that he's "dark" and edgy.
So at some point, we all missed the results from SaiMecha round 3:
Gurren Lagann vs Zeta Gundam BY ONE VOTE! (50.47% vs 49.53%)
Nirvash vs VF-25 Messiah (41.35% vs 58.65%)
Turn A Gundam vs Gouf Custom (51.49% vs 48.61%)
Gunbuster vs Kshatriya (64.76% vs 35.24%)
Anyway, the randomized bracket between these final four and last year's is set, though the matches aren't live yet:
As a reminder, the way the rules are set up, if Unit-01 wins it all again this year, it gets permanently put in the hall of fame and is disqualified from all future contests.

Massive understatement right there.
Accel World 13
You get 15 kilometers of space, and you fill it with cushions!? Chiyu sucks at the internet.
Oh, and of course there was this
In this case it's just that no one is able to, though.
At this point you have the KKK Grand Dragon dude in Team White along with Chiyu as the only healers in the entire game.
Agreed. As bad as the main plot was, they should have at least had stuck by their decision.
To effectively hit the reset button on the (little) character development they had bothered with, was a slap in the face.
I thought this series was an attempt to flesh out a fairly shallow character, but she ended up being less interesting than she was in the initial episode. So the answer to ""How Fujiko Mine became Fujiko Mine" is that "No, she was always like this, lol. Forget the implied child rape/torture that was suggested all along."
The only thing I take from this is that I Fujiko herself is dull, and Goemon seems like a cool character, just woefully underused here. Everything that I have heard is good about standard Lupin (such as the group dynamic) was almost non-existent here. I can't remember a show where I've quite so actively disliked the protagonist either.

Moyashimon 9-11
I really liked the way these episodes fleshed out Hasegawa's character; 9 was excellent in that regard. On the other hand, I wasn't really feeling where Kei's character went.
I initially didn't like the
development, as it seemed just thrown in for some arbitrary drama at the end, but it actually pulled it off fairly well, and examined the impact of Sawaki's ability on his life in an interesting way. The ending, if a bit silly, was uplifting enough to make me smile. These microbes are just too adorable.
My biggest complaint would be that there were a stretch of episodes in the middle which felt rather disjointed - both scene-by-scene and episode-by-episode. I wish the show had dedicated more time to establishing Sawaki's transition into college life - as it is, I didn't feel there was enough context to the microbe antics in the lab. Still, I had a lot of fun watching these quirky characters do their thing, and there were a lot of hilarious, well-executed moments. Certainly a positive experience.
It's too bad that I'm no longer interested in watching the current sequel, as the redesigns are rather unfortunate and it sounds like it exacerbates the worst aspects of the educational nature of the show, but hopefully I hear more positive impressions on it down the line.

Perhaps if they had built him up more before he disappeared it would have been successful, but as it is it felt rather random and perplexing.
"He can't see microbes anymore!"

Berserk: The Golden Age Arc I - The Egg of the King
Well, this wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be but that's entirely due to the source material and no thanks to the filmmakers. The usage of both 2D & 3D did an incredible job of annoying me and I'd have preferred if they'd committed to one or the other.
This would have been glorious if everything had been 2D as the 3D stuff, the battles in particular, were pretty bad and too often characters felt like they were manipulated puppets such as when Griffith interrupts Casca and Guts' discussion on a hillside, he moves so stiffly. Horses tended to glide over the backgrounds too. The lone exception I noticed was Griffith pursuing Charlotte during the royal hunt. There's one bit of CG horseback riding as they enter the creek that I thought was rather beautiful and the quality the movie should have made an effort to approach rather than just 5 seconds of bliss. Other stuff as questionable usage of slow motion, the paneled ending shot, and blood on the camera lens grated as well. I didn't really care for the soundtrack so much either but I'll chalk that up to a personal preference. It seemed fitting but the TV series spoiled me in that department and my bias is showing.
That said, the preview had me excited for the next part and hopefully there's some increase in quality as the movies progress even if all the first did was leave me wishing I'd been rewatching the TV series instead.
Watching the beginning of the movie, I couldn't quite shake the notion that Guts' head kept changing shape. The below are shown in the span of a few minutes yet it looks like he gets younger in each shot. Maybe it's just the angle. It seemed more consistent after the time skip at least.
Not even a broken neck can stop Guts.

About that, when the crap is it finally going to come out? If they do release Steins;Gate, I probably shouldn't expect it until 2015.
