My only regret is that I dont know much actual Japanese, so I cannot contribute in any way that actually brings a profit to the companies that make these things, but at least I can help to keep the US licensors afloat. In a much smaller way they help to bolster the industry, although indirectly. But still, it beats piracy.

the art style is Saki is REALLY pleasing.
Its just easy to look at.

You need to go in with a lot of supplement snacks and what not. ALOT OF YURI AND WAIFUS.

I like Ocean Waves too. :(

Haven't seen Arriety yet, but Whisper of the Heart and The Cat Returns can match some of Miyazaki's and Takahata's more prolific works. They just have to find the right person. (That person was Kondo, but unfortunately he passed away. RIP)

But that's exactly what we're talking about. The movie is not that popular, and it's did very poorly as far as Ghibli shows go in the box office, and the home video sales aren't that hot either. All he has proven is that he is watering down the Ghibli brand.

So it's down to Miyazaki's WW2 film to save it....or Takahata's Bamboo Cutter....or that other unannounced movie that they bet it all on. Ok, I see what you are getting at.
 

I thought the first PV was a bit better, though main character is alright. Hopefully they give this one his own PV. Definitely > protagonist.

Anime is such a niche interest kind of medium...Isnt it impossible to base it off of other more successful models? It will only ever interest a tiny fraction of the population worldwide.

Is it just me or do yall think that the Code;Breaker character designs looks particularly weird. Specifically the faces.

Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru 2

This is fun. Hotori is really out of control.

How could she be so cruel?!

Comedies are hard to write posts about. Shaft seems to have taken its CG background savings and sunk it into exaggerated character animation. It makes things pretty fun to watch.

The cast expanded a lot this episode, which is cool. The show is just plain good times. Can't hate on that.

Speaking of expanding casts, faces are popping up everywhere in this episode. I agree that splitting up the Classics Club gives everyone a lot more room to shine. This arc has been excellent so far.

Moyashimon Returns 1

What did they do to the character designs. D:

Kei and Muto are the most butchered, but the other characters have all taken a hit as well.

The best character in Soredemo's yet to be introduced too so there's more to look forward to.

I'm also glad to see more people watching Moyashimon, another good series.

I always see tails everywhere, and cat ears.
But you all knew that.

Also theres a big new box here with animu in it. Panty and Stocking, Ranma boxsets 6 and 7, Ano Hana (sorry), and Starship Operators.

Good stuff. Throw it on the backlog lol.

Probably one of the better looking filler characters I've seen in quite some time.

I had a few good laughs with this episode.

It angers the hell out of me that Naruto is still stuck on loving that useless Sakura. Let her go man.

AAAAAAAAAARGH

Skipped 10 pages of the thread and I'm NOT looking back!
Tired of trying to keep up with everything, I keep staying behind and I can't post.

Anyway, my Power Stone marathon is nearing its end, and I really had fun with it. Watched the entire show (two more episodes to go) in two days for the sake of nostalgia, I have no idea how the show didn't bore me not even for a second.

AKANE-NEE! Bwahahahahahahahah! Also, that cat screeching effect at the end of the episode is Akane sucking out its soul! Or something.

Somehow I keep up with every single page. Usually it means browsing a dozen new pages a day though.
 
Precure All stars new stage movie

Was surprisingly fun. Pretty much the whole movie was a fight, which is always fun. The cross character blending does seem to feel a bit more natural than before for some reason. I do wonder why these movies never have any budget while Toei's other annual movie thing (one piece) looks quite good every year. They probably just dump all the budget in the ending sequence ;P


Happy is quite adorable this movie compare to the show imo.

And yayoi being yayoi <3

Why is Yayoi so awesome? WHY IS YAYOI SO AWESOME?
 
Ginga kickoff 15

footy drama stuff. I do love the whole 'we don't have time, focus on the twins' approach. Beats the typical 1 training arc, strongest team ever formula.

And have they even recycled footy animation yet? This show just keeps on impressing.

It does make the other hot sports show (kuroko) seem super low budget.

I think they use the same kick-off animation for every match, hahaha. But that's it.

Hotori is a great protagonist. Sadly the big gag of the episode fell flat for me because it was a kanji joke. :(

Ah someone else got ano hana nice. Panty & Stocking was disastrous.

I think a bunch of animeGAF got the Ano Hana boxset. Its so pretty.
The show has some good point in it, just that its really muddled up with a bunch of frivolous shit in between. Really loving the artwork throughout. Hopefully NISA didn't fuck something up in it.
