Sentai got Seikon no Qwaser
Cant wait to rehear Sasha (Alex) and tremble and prostrate yourself before me in fear.

Sakasama no Patema: Beginning of the Day
You know, for some reason this reminds me of something else:
A brief explanation for the shots above - In Nausicaa, Nausicaa is the daughter of the local leader, she's loved by her people and she enters the scene from above to speak some subjects. In Patema, Patema is the daughter of the local leader, she's respect by her people and she enters the scene from above to talk to them.
This comparison is really pushing it, but I do find it amusing that both Nausicca and Patema have a clear interest in science and have rooms that feature plants.

Subtitled eh. Guess they couldn't convince a single American VA to do a dub.
I'm up to episode 7 on this. Really enjoying the characters thus far, and the introduction of Ami-chan threw an interesting twist into the mix. I get some Chidori (FMP) vibes from Ami-chan at times, especially with the blue hair and radical change in personality.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Also, Taiga's eyes are amazing.
Dat pouty look. Hnggg.

What's the name of that other anime there? Edit: Didn't think to check the image name. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
I'm looking forward to Sakasama no Patema, only because I really enjoyed Time of Eve.

Dragona was a mod round these parts, with a reputation of banning people on sight at the very suspicion of sexism.

Yuna is quite boring. Its like the action and intensity is there to make it watchable but she just fails to deliver. She even took a Kouga trait and tried to be cool...
Painful wait for the next episode with a series break.

Meaningful characters that she has defeated is still actually 0, and instead of staying she ran away from Palvin :/, why. The teamwork attack though looked actually somewhat decent.

Well, just to put it out there, I'm not big on the new OP.
The narrative in this episode pulls the spotlight onto a different candidates on the ship. It's a nice move considering the situation. Instead of Mutta being rivaled with just other faces, this direction it gives more weight to the competition. This might make Mutta's end result more effective to witness by the end of it all. Anyways, looking forward to the next.

Is anyone? It's the second OP curse. Very few are ever equal or surpass the first if the first if really good.

It doesn't surpass the original opener, but I liked it. The new ending theme is better though.
It's the prologue. I'm not sure whether it'll be included in the complete thing or not.
When's the movie itself opening?
They haven't announced a date yet.
Time Jam: Valerian & Laureline 1
I think I'm really going to like this. Others have touched on it being an adaptation of Valérian and Laureline and a Satelight co-production so no real need to add to that. Between the first episode and the next couple that I've watched casually, this show is really charming. I really dig the dub (except for
) and the tone of the show. Its like this optimistic sense of adventure where it's not a question whether or not the hero will overcome his obstacles but how.
. Comedic elements and the heavy banter in this went a long way and I hope they're retained as staples to bridge the action pieces as they were used in the first episode. I'm also hoping Laureline remains a strong female lead throughout.
Our hero, Valerian, who might just happen to be an adventurous womanizer!
Our heroine, Laureline, who looks to be hot enough to attract him yet strong enough lead to fend him off.

Misplacing the Earth is something of a big obstacle but there's enough foreshadowing in the first episode to hint it wasn't entirely Valerian's fault.

Remember everyone, this is what Fate/Stay Night does to people.
Did he ever watch the second clip show? I might have missed his review of that.

Er, no, I was simply referring to the original philosophical debates that were had over the nature of the girls/guns in Upotte.

Weird... I'm looking at what you said in bold, but it's just not registering.
I dislike Oreimo cause I don't think it's funny. I don't have a little sister (thank god for that).
Even still, the bolded is lulz.
Welcome to the family fellow Toradorabro. Hopefully you end up on the right team by the end.

Apparently at a talk event for Natsuyuki Rendezvous, Yuichi Nakamura said that these is 11 episodes long. Sounds like noitaminA is going back to the 11 ep format this season in that case, and Moyashimon Returns should be 11 episodes too. Too bad.
While a bit unfortunate, given the relatively short length of the Natsuyuki manga (4 volumes complete), there shouldn't be the "Oh shit gotta wrap this up now!" rush that sometimes happens.
Of course, noitaminA will never be able to escape the 11-episode expectations that have been attached to it. Even after Tsuritama has finished, some people are still convinced it was only 11 episodes.

After all the Natsu no Arashi talk I think I will rewatch it.
And I can't say no to tall girls with hime cut and long skirts.
I see
thanks for the explanation

The not awful character.
Sankarea 9
Episode 8 was the last thing I watched before taking a break from anime a couple of weeks ago... So I wasn't looking forward to this at all. And it's still boring - but at least it's a different boring.
I'll remember this episode in a positive light because of the scene
because it was cute as a puppy.

This was standard. Nothing better or worse than one would come to expect from a "guy falls into something larger than himself" story. There's even some 2-D driving (since that's an occurrence worthy of note). The entire bedroom scene was pretty terrible, however. I never get much kicks out of the guy who's legitimately afraid of female bodies routine. Anyways, the interpretation of gods as giants might make for some nice battler sequences in the future. Maybe some "run up the side" here and some "jump off dragon onto a giant eyebrow there." It also has the potential to turn into extremely stale beam spamming and unsightly magic circles.
It's unlikely that I'll be able to follow along due to a heavy backlog as well as a couple of Summer shows planned, but I'll skim through Dakku's impressions (and DTL's too because those are funny.)
Also, Archer, you need to be reminded:
though your rival does lack variety.
"The power of young female bodies...it buuuurns me!"

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
a very cute boy.
So Tsuritama is an 11-episode series, but there are 12 episodes. Clearly, one of those episodes is the cursed Extra Episode and, unless we can discover which episode this is, it's going to keep killing other episodes until there are none left. A truly frightening proposition.
Good man. I'd be up for a rewatch too if I wasn't so far behind on all of my current watches.

We're not talking about Kuroneko here.
Sailor Moon SuperS 129
Dead Moon Circus is a fabulous name wasted on this bunch. It's hard to live up to the Dark Kingdom or Death Busters though. Really glad to see characters being revisited as well as its associated plot point. It seemed S got away from that although admittedly it would have dragged the show down as the new cast was more than enough.
Pegasus is so cool.
Poor Artemis & Luna.

I read that as Dragoon, and it made me think of Fujiko, and I got all angry again. Still trying to forget that garbage show.
Give it time to forget.
Well, much of the show is forgettable anyways!

How dense can the girls' younger versions be?
That raises so many questions related to this show's time travel mechanics.
Bwahaha.
Wait... Huh? The real thing?

DA BEST.
Unrelated, but I should check out Time Jam. Hmmm...
