I found it visually interesting but pretty boring. The main character was incredibly annoying as well. His interactions with people and that face he makes became grating by the second episode, and after the third I had no desire to continue watching. I've considered going back, seeing as many here loved the series as a whole; however, if it kept up with the same pace and gags, I think I will stay away.

I didn't post a Ready Steady Cook image for nothing. That too had a set time of 20 minutes, though it was two people working together.

I feel like the rhythm of this show is starting to make some sense.
In this episode, Rakka is officially acknowledged as a Haibane. I liked the ritual mysticism of the ceremony. There's all sorts of unspoken tradition that everyone is expected to follow. I'm not sure if there's a reason, or if it's just religions being religions. With the way the show handles its premise, it's easy to forget the girls have pieces of metal floating above their heads for no adequately explained reason. It's all very matter-of-fact.
It was nice for Rakka to spend some quality alone time with Hikari and Kuu. They're starting to seem more whole.

"Why do we have to do this?"
"Because it's moe."

Wein motherfuckers, dive tackle from a moving car is badass. Second best character ever.
I'm telling you Konatsu is freaking awesome!

That third picture is too amazing.
I think Narag is hanging in there. I may give it another go later today, as I really don't like dropping shows.
Maybe if she had a single backbone in her body I'd respect her more.
Man... Brings back memories. That show was soooo good.

Its a marketing issue. Do a company market to the sons of the bankers (who are mostly otaku), or do i market for the mainstream? The way things are prices they pretty much have no choice. Once the "youtube" ban goes in effect in October (barring some mircale) the business will be easy pickings for the western studios in two to three years. They dont how market forces work.

K-ON: The Movie
Look, I tried. I jumped into this as open as possible. I genunily wanted to find something to like...and then I did in the first 5 min. Unfortunately, much like Azusa-san, I was conned into beliveing there was more to this than "cute" girls being "cute".
Now if you will exuse me, I need to watch some Detroit Metal City to cleanse this from my mind.

What Youtube ban are you talking about?
Apparently the spectacle of London is just too much for some.
Song composition is by Sat of fripside who also compose unfinished ED and all of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun's OP's.
Oh really? I liked all of fripside's stuff so far.
Apparently Altima is a new group consist of Sat of Fripside, motsu of MOVE and Maon Kurosaki who perform HOSTD songs and also To Aru Majutsu no Index 2 EDs. Perfect Combo. If there is a new To Aru anime, I expect Altima to perform.
I was wondering why it sounded so much like a combination of fripside and MOVE. I hope they do much more than just To Aru etc.

That was utterly delightful.
It is a shame that pegasus form is pretty much just a min long finisher, but it does feel 'breezy', anyhow.
Eps was worth it just cuz of:

yayo~
Although I say I expect but most likely they won't be performing for any To Aru Series. If it is a new Index series, Iuchi Maiko of I've Sound will handle the OP and ED with Mami Kawada and probably Maon Kurosaki. If it is a new Railgun, Sat will probably go back with Yoshino Nanjou to perform as Fripside for the OP.

Emmanuel watching things so I don't have to.
On another note, I should get on Detroit Metal City one day.
The R2s actually look a lot better than the BDs. FLCL is the same, IMO.

Is this an okay place to do the old "I've seen this, what else should I watch" routine, or is it dedicated to the OP title (Summer '12)?

It's the right place. Feel free to ask for recommendations.
We're in Community; you talk about whatever you want in here.
The seasonal threads are, for all intents and purposes, general anime threads.
Feel free to ask us for recommendations, or make your own thread which we will subsequently invade like the Mongolian hordes.

I work in the real Detroit Metal City.
It's okay.
This is the place to be, but it helps if you have a MAL.

OK, so I have a really free weekend coming up and it occurred to me that it's been a while since I've seen a new anime. I'm looking for an OVA or movie to watch this weekend. As you'll be able to tell really fast, I've been absent from anime for a long time. Don't laugh at my stone-age tastes!
Not really interested in a full-season series just due to time.
Favorites: Cowboy Bebop, Macross Plus, Ghost in the Shell (original and Innocence), Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, The Big O, Ninja Scroll, Highlander: The Search For Vengeance, Akira, Samurai Champloo.
Things I Like: Violence, gritty, dark, epic, high production values, a hand-drawn look, detailed art. That wave that hit the US in the late 80s/90s.
Things I Dislike: CGI look, huge eyes, day-glo colors, whining, you can probably guess the rest based on my favorites list. Not interested in Miyazaki right now, as I've seen most of his films.
Bonus: I have a soft spot for Gundam. Seen Wing, G Gundam, some of the original, tiny bit of Gundam X. Fave Gundam is 08th MS Team, any Gundam OVA/Movie type stuff I should be aware of? Stardust Memories looks superficially similar to 08th MS Team.
EDIT: Working on a MAL now.

Can I just go to the back and draw pictures of the lesbians making out?

Sword of the Stranger
This should be your first priority.
EDIT: Beat!
If you find yourself with more time on your hands you should invest in watching Gurren Lagann and/or Eureka Seven
Gundam Unicorn might be something you could look at.
Gundam Unicorn.
