K-ON 2: Y Tu Mamá También, yo! 04
Thoughts after four episodes of K-ON!!: AnimeGAF is like GAF's own light music club. We bicker with each other over silly stuff, but we are in fact so close with each other and we have so much fun with each other that we alienate any potential new members.

Despite all that I decided to join the club anyway. Does that make me the Azusa of AnimeGaf?

team love and peace was a farce.

presenting:

Team Ojisan

· darkside31337 - rin: brews ojisan's favourite tea and coffee, two sugars with milk

· chickdigger802 - sakura: brings ojisan's shortbread for his drinks

· jbug617 - aoi - places my drinks and biscuits on a table mat and brings me a spoon. must also ask how my day was

· Nafe - beserker - wipes the table down when i'm finished and tuck the chair back in. if crumbs remain someone will get a beatdown.

Well at least I got a cool character. Wait, what is beserker doing on team love and peace!?

Honestly, how can anyone not like K-ON?

I liked K-On from the very first episode personally.

Tell us more oh wise one. We need your guidance.

This sounds like a good opportunity to recommend Earth Maiden Arjuna!
I still haven't seen the show yet actually

You guys don't like Nanami from Utena? Why the hell not?

Because her episodes break the tonal consistency of the show, and aren't particularly funny.

Just accept Nanami as your new goddess!

Never!

Never!

I'll give her best student council member at most.

But Juri is the best student council member.

Is anyone here watching it?

As usually, a good episode. It's refreshing to see a mature and realistic approach to love for once, instead of the usual tsuntsun bullshit that plagues most anime. The interaction between Shimao and Hazuki are also quite cool.

Hopefully they can keep this quality for all the 11 episodes.

I find the lack of K-on posts disturbing!

Damn you Theonik.

For anyone else who cares about Seitokai no Ichizon, there's been some cast/staff changes.

Yuka Saitou, who originally played Chizuru Akaba in the first series, is being replaced by Mina (Heaven's Lost Property's Sohara Mitsuki, Is This a Zombie?'s Kanami Mihara). Yuki Horinaka, who originally played Mafuyu Shiina, will be replaced by Iori Nomizu (Heaven's Lost Property's Nymph, Cat Planet Cuties' Antonia).

Previously it was revealed that Masahito Onoda has replaced Kumi Horii as the character designer on the new series. AIC is producing the new series instead of Studio DEEN, and Kenichi Imaizumi is directing the series with series script editor Reiko Yoshida, instead of Takuya Satō and Jukki Hanada for the same roles in the 2009 anime version.

I liked Mafuyu's VA so that's quite a shame. I also had no idea they changed character designers and that Deen is no longer doing the show. Yoshida's also on board now. Those are some pretty significant changes. I didn't mind Deen's go at the first season. It was one of the few or maybe only Deen shows I liked in a long while. Changing to AIC is fine I guess. I've enjoyed a fair amount of their productions for some time. Yoshida doing the script is... I don't know how that's going to turn out. She's done some comedy like in School Rumble before iirc. Wonder how different the show is going to be now.

No problem! I actually forgot to mention they also made two more drama albums that are basically audio-only versions of the R and S movies. I've only listened to the R movie one, but they didn't have to change much.

I think you're confusing Mitsuishi, who had to mentally prepare herself before doing Usagi, with Excel's first english dub actress.

Sorry my fault,I meant Mitsuishi. I can see now I only wrote "she".

As mentioned, it was Goldfish Warning.

As for what came after Sailor Moon... Junichi Satou, who directed SM s1, some of R and episodes in S, Supers, and Stars also did Magic User's Club and Princess Tutu and worked with Takuya Igarashi, director of Stars, to make Ojamajo Doremi. Igarashi also did Ouran High School Host Club. I'm sure you're already aware that Kunihiko Ikuhara went on to make Utena and Penguin Drum.

The animation staff also went on to make Cutie Honey F after Stars, but this is mostly just an art connection.

Thanks for the list, some of them like Princess Tutu and Doremi are ones I've jotted down before as shows I'd like to see at some point.

Kind of late so I'm going to bed, but quick note; as a Londoner I was surprised by the lack of WcDonald's. Literally every sign I saw was correct. I'll give a few examples of what stuck out in my mind tomorrow.

Princess Tutu is freaking awesome. I usually don't watch these kind of shows, but in Tutu everything, to the writing and the characters, is freaking amazing. Watch it as soon as you can.

Actually, i recommend it to everyone. Do not let the name or the cutesy fool you. Princess Tutu is teh shit.

Wow, you drug up a movie speech to make a point. Nice. So I dont understand what goes on. Fuck the murders in my family. fuck the deaths from cancer and losing my sister when she was a day old. fuck all the shit I have to put up with on a dialy basis to make sure people has gas in their cars. I dont know SHIT about being alive. NO how about I need anime to give me an escape from all that fucking bullshit because it makes me happy and takes me the fuck out of the world for a bit?" How the fuck about that?!

You're definitely rad. But you are much better than Azu-nyan. Don't sell yourself so short.

You should watch Princess Tutu sooner than later. It was such an amazing experience.

Seconded.

I like you too. Recent juniors are pretty damned groovy in my book. Damned groovy indeed.

Carry on.

There are none!

You're always so lewd.

Isn't that the point of that character?!

God, what a showoff.

So, time for the actual gym battle! It wasn't bad. A terrible showing by Krokorok, no one cares what Pikachu does so it's Tranquill that stole the show. And boy girl does it.

People joked about this being the 'ghost ntr' show early on, but it really is painfully sad. Watching Shimao struggle with the seduction of his wife by someone who can actually hold her--THESE FEELINGS

SO MUCH FEELING

BUT I'M LAUGHING TOO

FUCK

Thats a cool gif.
So they have stuck to that same art style for the entire Pokemon series duration.

will Cure Echo show up in any future properties? And do people actually know about Precures in whatever universe they inhabit?

Kind of late, but...

Technically, the Pretty Cure crossover movies form a self contained universe, even though they don't really "count" for the tv shows. The first three were all connected to each other storywise, and New Stage's Fusion also was the villain of the original DX 1. The crossover movies also have consistently kept the idea that Pretty Cures are publicly known ever since the second one at least. They don't count for the tv series though, so, if Echo returns, it'll be just in these crossover movies.

If you see your country's flag in the image below, you will be able to watch Ookami Kodomo in a cinema:
Oh goody, it's the Union Flag! Oh wait, it's stuck on the Australian and New Zealand flags.

I completely missed this, but apparently one of the featured performers on the iDOLM@STER Namasuka Special CD volume 3 is going to be...
Producer-san!
.

Wonder what their cover song is going to be...
Rather have the President...

I see we've moved from hating on ponies to hating on moéblobs.
Hating on blobs of personal feelings? Sounds like something from the BFG.

Time to burn the industry down then.
Anime is already dead. FACTUAL!

Oi oi! I certainly hope you're not hating on the Yurus otherwise we may have to seize your avatar.

Though saying that, why did darkside31337 change his avatar? Guess that means Yui is up for grabs. See my [post=40035616]Yuru avatar post[/post] for all the images.

Is Super Smash Bros. canon to the corresponding Nintendo universes?

Seriously, this question has been nagging me for years.
Really? Brawl even makes it obvious that they are statues.

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
GMT.

And just think of all the amounts you're missing out on by not being on IRC!
It's the uncut version of this thread, but since we all have such dirty minds that means 99% new content. I wouldn't let your aunt Bessy read it.

I wish BGBW was here to say something witty and British about this.
Too much pressure and I'm tired. I might sleep on it.

On episode 3, I was wondering why those swag old men and Wakana's Spanish speaking pursuer looked familiar. It's because they're the Condor Queen's on Konatsu's poster in the OP
Good eye! I didn't notice that.
