You know, you should cosplay as a Keion and re-enact the movie. I'd kickstart that!

Better close-up courtesy of duckroll (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=38964376&postcount=913). It seems that Gen Urobuchi has been eliminating the links to the images (or directly moving the images) he posted on his own twitter account.
I realized lately - good, Evil, good taste, bad taste, etc etc. The yin and yang of anime can be summarized by one choice in anime.
Team Noe unite.
More like Team wierdo. Team Hiromi forever!
I made that suggestion ages ago as a joke with the condition that someone else would have to pay the cost knowing of course this condition would never be fulfilled..
...oh.
I have all the images saved on my HDD. All 25 of them!

Eureka Seven AO 14
Pretty good action and such.
is perhaps one of the top 1o scenes in the series thus far. Truth was great as well but Elena was utterly awful.
. Naru is unlikeable as well.
.
was really intense, I wish I knew in advance so I could skip that part, it made me feel really uneasy and the face made and position on the bed was quite painful and horrifying, my eyes.
Anyway I liked lots of scenes in the ED and the song, much better than the first one, on account of AO's various hilarious faces and Noah too. Escape was the better OP song, but this one has nice visuals.

Scene with Eureka being ejected from her Nirvash and then falling and reaching for AO
going crazy and trying to attack Eureka and then taking Truth temporarily out of action, what even?
pointing her blade at AO? What why, if she wanted Ao to fly at her, why turn in one second to threaten to kill him off? That doesnt make sense for her to do

K-On! Movie
This was everything I expected a K-On! movie to be and more. Everything from the fantastic animation, incredibly atmospheric backgrounds combined with the excellent scene composition and the pitch perfect soundtrack really made this a great film. Hell, it even got a little :firehawk towards the end and made me all a little bit teary eyed. ;_;

A friend of mine's family owns one of those flats near the London Eye. Suffice to say, it's well posh.
I can't find any anime set in Oxford, although apparently there's an Oxford Academy in Horizon? I'm kind of disappointed.
Oh look it's the Eye of London. Costs like $100,000 to ride that damn thing.
Probably named after Oxford Street.
Little bit of BGBW trivia. Never even been on it.
I wonder if Mio realised
she'd be waiting over an hour for them to go round if she had not been dragged on to it.
There's Top Secret The Revelation, if your definition of police procedurals includes analysing dead people's brains.

Eh... wasn't really a fan. tried to be serious but didn't pull it off well like in gintama (occasionally).

Witch Hunter Robin was kinda like a police procedural too. The first Darker than BLACK series fits that too I guess.
Sign me up.

Yes, the K-On movie is trumping Batman!
And does You're Under Arrest count?
I don't think they exist in the American/British form in anime form anyway. Some jdramas try to ape the style though.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
what the fuck is this dragon ball shit doing in eureka?
did you miss the crazy train to batshit insaneville?
it departed a long time ago
the show really is everything I love and hate about anime simultaneously
its kind of fascinating

Do I need to finish the K-ON series before watching the movie?
Time to play catch up
Eureka 7 AO - 01-02
Production values seem pretty good and I'm enjoying the music. Typical boy meets robot start but wasn't expecting anything else really. I do appreciate it not throwing too much at the viewer to the start the show. The situation seems very "micro" at the moment compared to "macro". I hate it when mech shows try to introduce everything in the first 1-2 episodes. Let it unravel as naturally as possible as the story progresses I say.
Character-wise, Ao seems to be starting off more likable than Renton. Let's see where this goes.

I doubt you need to finish it. If you are familiar with the characters you're probably fine, it's not like they change through the series or there is any plot to know other than they graduated.

It does tie in directly to the official final episode of the series though.
On the contrary, I never saw season 2 but the movie felt like it didnt reference much at all.
Which basically........makes no difference.
it really does make a difference though. watch the series first

I'm not sure what they could really reference. It's not like K-On has plot or character development.

That's fine. The film works on its own. I'm just saying, it directly references one of the final scenes of the series.
Then you aren't paying attention.
As someone who just watched the last few episodes of the series, you must have
liked how they wrapped it all up with Asuza's song. I watched the end of 24 again just to check and the movie even includes the part where Asuza says they're terrible. lol

He's pretty hilarious, and has a great voice. One more character to go until the full team.

Yeah, it's a genius move. If you watched both S1 and S2, the movie ties in directly to
Azusa calling them terrible when they perform for her both times
external establishing shot where if you aren't paying attention, you just think the girls are having a normal conversation after the song has ended.
That way, the scene works for people who know the series and for people who don't.
Wow...That is Shiki levels of awful. I call it "The blacksmith's bottle opener mistake"
Thoraxes seems to disagree. I'm gonna side with him on this one.
Nice to see you gave this a shot and didn't completely dismiss it.
Just mark it already. It just happened. I don't like it staring me in the face like a curse.
Fanservice has its place. Companies have to sell blurays! Without fanservice, there isn't much to sell to the otaku who buy stuff these days. You get Chihayafuru'd.
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate 3
Yumeshima didnt suggest it, but it was nice the shy cat haired girl did. Yumeshima, Oojima, and a few of the various characters are really good in their own ways. Even non-chan, who refers in third perosn, is pretty decent...at times. Election snacks and interactions with a touch of comedy really keep it entertaining.
At least Yumeshima is willing to share Oojima's body, though I guess he wants his and Mouri senpais.
I see the sords shy cat haired girl". Color me interested. But the title is equally intriguing. I have no idea what to expect from this show but it piqued my interest generally.

YES!!! I noticed this too and mentioned it when I talked about the movie and on the way to London I swear I heard a U2 song. It sounded very similar to "Still haven't found what I'm looking for". Nice catch!
You're Under Arrest ALWAYS counts!!!
A gem in my collection. Never gonna sell it.
Absolutely not.
Ill watch anything with good animation (as long as its not genuinely terrible or boring)
you could make an awesome stick figure animation and ill still watch it intently

i'm liking this show a lot .
A simple adventure show is quite refreshing ...
THat's alright. I should make a little animation and see if You'd watch it lol.
Elemental Gelade is a fun adventure show. Its nothing special but it has nice music and cute characters like Reverie.
On the other side of the coin, have you watched Twelve Kingdoms? Its pretty epic. Its kind of complex though and you have to pay attention to everything.
My old mustachioed Yui avatar is superior.

Lol. This is perfect.
Paranoia Agent 2
I've seen pieces of four episodes of Paranoia Agent, and this is one of them.
Episodes like this are the reason I wanted to see it to completion in the first place.
Kosaka Kirino Yuuichi is a bit of a self-absorbed asshole, but he's also a sixth-grader, so it's not surprising. Kids are terrible people, and that's kind of what the episode is about in the first place. You can see how the school's authority figures really fail to protect him.
Kon is on top of his game here. There's some great direction. I really like the way they intercut the rumors about Shonen Bat with Yuuichi's poster being progressively defaced. I love how we're constantly aware of how Yuuichi wants to be seen, contrasted with the way he's being treated. I'm not crazy about the swimmy cartoony paranoia, but I love how
.
I guess
More stuff like this please. Shonen Bat is less interesting to me at the moment than the people he affects.

Shonen Bat appears out of nowhere during Yuuichi's fantasies to take down Ushiyama
Great facial expressions too.
I guess
Marumi is some kind of foreshadowing vehicle? For the moment, I'm going to take the formula stuff as a sort of metacommentary about society failing to recognize the people it's hurting. I think I'd like an in-universe explanation less.
