[Binbougami-ga!] - 2

This was better than last weeks episode but I'm still rather tepid on the work as a whole. It doesn't really have anything that holds my interest so I'll shelve it for now. I'm not dropping completely because I feel like I may return to it at some future venture.

I think you should give it 1 more episode. Binbougami is definitely a 3 episode rule show. If you don't like it next week, you never will.
 
Fall 2012

Giant BAD stamp over all. Or maybe not????

There is always potential. ALWAYS.

New Deen is not like old Deen. but I liked old Deen anyway.

She's cute. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

As far as Fall Anime goes, I'm thinking Robotic;Notes and that KyoAni show but otherwise meh.

Joshiraku is cute for cute's sake rurounizel. you will probably like it.

What is the other show with pee?

Elfen Lied
 
What's the word Ao keeps using for mom when referring to Eureka?
Anma? I don't have any idea what it means either. It was important enough to name one of the tracks on the OST "Anma Maman", though.

Okay, apparently "anma" is just the Okinawan dialect for "mother".
 
The sheer amount of backlog is starting to weigh heavily on me.
I want to see so much stuff and its like trying to eat everything when somebody is heaping more food on your plate on a constant basis. At least I'll never be bored.
 
Sengoku Collection 15

Your friends are terrible friends, but apparently one is a good waifu.

Yawn, boring episode is boring. Would be better if she hand-cannon all her problems from the beginning.

Excuse my ignorance but I don't watch Sengoku Collection at all and nearly every week I read people describing it as 'boring'. Are there many instances where it isn't boring?

There are instances where it is cute.
Unfortunately that seems to depend entirely on Ieyasu being present in a particular episode and doesn't occur frequently enough.

The episode where there was talking food crops and a random play werent boring, as well as probably two or three more episodes, for me, personally. For the large part most of the episodes have been dull.
 
Granted, I've only WATCHED two episodes of Sengoku.
Something about it bugs me. It even has catgirls in it and I just don't care. Something is very wrong.

Well there are different levels of boringness I guess.

Besides the much raved episode 5 and the clusterfuck of episode 8, I did think episode 4, 6, 9, 10 and 11 were somewhat decent enough to watch.

Episodes 5 and 8, as well as parts of a few others like 4, have been not boring.
 
Gundam Wing rewatch

Man the actual voice acting in the dub is great but some of the script is terrible.
"Doctor you're the one who sent Heero aren't you doctor?!"

Big sudden explosion
"What exploded!!?"
 
Never heard of it. Is it a show with only 0.00000003% yuri? :I
7th would say it's full on yuri. lol

It's a movie with 0% yuri about a childhood friendship. It's pretty alright though, and worth a watch if you don't mind reading the worst subtitles this side of a Hong Kong bootleg.

The subtitles are good now!

The good subs actually came from an HK DVD. Official release though.
Yeah, I was just going to say. The good subs always existed anyway, since the movie made the circuit at least. Someone finally had the good sense to use them.

If the only thing they animate is Yui's part in the arc, sure.
You need the tenri and Yui arcs for the goddess arc, though.
People are desperate for animated Yui. :p
 
I now know that if I ever do a series trade with Envelope I'm making him watch Fight! Ippatsu! Juuden-chan.

You're acting like that isn't a thing already. How naive you are.

Hey, I know it happens, I don't go actively imagining it, though!

I thought making the dude short and fat was a response to the shittiness of the SAO main character though?

It's the Koyomi's Abs Incident of anime protagonists.

NisiOisin is diehard JoJo fan (even write the official novel) let him do it!

Kokoro Connect 2


Huh. This is interesting. Things are already getting somewhat intense, and it's pretty clear that the people behind this show know their way around this personality swap thing.

I also like the Fate/Zero-like preview/ED combo they do.


What a troll.
 
It is pretty good. Fun jokes, pretty amusing, etc etc. More of it is very welcomed.

All I know of it is that one gif posted here and I don't even know the context of that gif.
Its like some exciting mystery that I almost don't want solved.

Also, does anyone else find the anticipation of getting something or watching shows to be more fun than the actual utility of those things?
 
Dog Soldier

Went in expecting something terrible and my expectations were met. That said, this is the sort of trashy manime I watch as a guilty pleasure. Action for the sake of action, breakneck pacing, a silly story, and bad guys getting their shit shoved in by a manly protagonist. Good times.

Poignant.

This was just icing.

I can't believed you reviewed Dog Soldier but completely failed to mention how it's a Commando-esque story that revolves around the cure for AIDS.

Dat running

Speaking of Mai Mai Miracle, I finally got around to this set in the past slice of life movie. Like MMM, it's pleasant and :firehawk and all that. It's no Only Yesterday, but it's nice to see the Ghibli touch go back to a story that's a bit more grounded in the real world.

The only thing I didn't like was the crappy complication that pops up in the second half of the film. I think I'm getting tired of writers lampshading their own cliches in their work:

Like, they obviously know it's cheap, but they still threw it in anyway. Yeah, it gives them the climatic ending, but it just feels so forced. I'm sure at one point it became a question of needing personal stakes for Umi to give the audience something more immediate to identify with, but I was more ready to facepalm when I saw what was coming.

That said, the film had a nice energy to it and the focus of the film is put mostly on the bigger "macro" complication that lingers over the whole film, so on the whole I can't complain. I look forward to picking this up whenever it's available anyway.

As an aside, I mean, I academically knew why people used to use the word "cutpurse", but I guess I've never actually saw why:

Maybe people were trusting back then, but that really does look like you're asking to have your cash stolen.
 
Haiyoru! Nyaruani

Eight flash animated shorts that were released from 2009-2010, it's not that good and feels like a "Just for fans" sort of thing. It's really cheap too and ends up rather ugly and barely animated. Mahiro didn't demonstrate nearly enough outrage either. For whatever reason, Crunchyroll doesn't have the first episode included in their listing either so their first episode is actually episode two. Maybe because it's mostly a commercial for the light novels.

Strange humor.

I didn't realize how deeply the reference porn ran with the series.

And just because I think people that dislike the franchise can relate.
