I know little about the North American market for Japanese animation distribution, but... doesn't it seems they are doing again the same mistakes that precursor company labels like ADV Films did?
Extra points for using Mr. Hiramatsu illustrations. Nice!

Baka gaijin trying to make it as an idol? I'd watch that anime.
Hmm, I'm sort of torn on that. I like Jun from Natsu no Arashi better as a character but her voice, her performance did more for Hotori in Soredemo. So, perhaps I agree technically put still prefer Jun anyways because Soredemo was all about Kon anyways.
Know that I take this task so seriously that I was compelled to type on my god awful tiny smartphone for something like 8 minutes just to get that shitty, short, post out in an attempt to guide yet another soul to the wonder of Natsu no Arashi. Few other things would get me to brave touchscreen typing. Actually, I think anti-Tessa, from Full Metal Panic, remarks would be the only other thing I'd ever type on that damn device.
Yes. Misato was the only worthwhile female in the whole damn show.
Oh good, there's others besides me and Firehawk now.

Those 20 or seconds of screentime brought forth some of the best eva fanarts ever. First and second favorite eva characters.

Well, the point is that anyone could have played Jun I suppose!
I do like how in the dating sims,
Kaoru
But anyone didn't! She didn't do bad as Jun she's just not Omigawa like in Natsu no Arashi. Could Jun have been done by someone else? Maybe, but why? It's fine as is.
he'd ditch you when you wanted to hang out, cry and listen to his shitty tape player.
Just make sure he's not on any list of people allowed to visit you in the hospital.
I think we need to see a video.

Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse ep 1
That was a really boring first episode. The actual premise and events were interesting and the mechs...but it was just never stated why all the pilots and fighters were female? There could be some diversity as none of the characters were interesting enough to want to follow along for 23 minutes. I guess I may stay through at least ep 2 and just hope more competent characters come along but for now, possibly the worst of the summer.

Those four minutes or so certainly had a lasting effect.

What's your problem with Misato?

I wasn't really expecting much from this show but the first episode of this was pretty good. If there's one issue I have with it, it's the running gag about how awkward the transfer student seemed to be as it felt rather forced and overused so hopefully that stuff doesn't start to really overstay its welcome. The OP and ED were also pretty good!
also i can feel all dat yuri oh yes

End of Eva stuff:
Rape and possible paedophilia.
Weird, because I really liked how awkward he seemed. It's much better than the average "foreign" student in anime, who knows perfect japanese and customs.
Anyway, Tari Tari 1 was quite good, lots of little touches that helped give the characters.. well... character. Especially the headphone moe girl imagining what she really wanted to do to the teacher.

Semi-important (but not really important) question: which release of Evangelion are you watching? I assume it's the Platinum one.

It sounds like you don't understand her appeal.
Well that appeal certainly wasn't represented in that picture!

True, but I'd say there's a difference between being awkward and being "awkward". They just gotta tone it down a little is all I'm sayin'.
Damnit
I had a feeling this would be the case after I saw what it was about, but I still hoped it would turn out good. I'm up to episode 11 now, still enjoying it, but we'll see how I feel about the rest.
The subject matter isn't the problem. It's just 10 episodes longer than it should have been.Damnit

It really depends on how high your tolerance is for balls going in circles.
Also, with the first arc of Season Two they notably truncated the original source material and made the whole experience tighter. They did not do the same for the second arc.
Oh, well that sucks then.
I actually liked the first arc of the first season the most too, although stuff got really tense at the end.
Hopefully the ending to the second season will at least be satisfying.

Smile Precure 08
God damn. This episode. So good.
I am generally a fan of body swap episodes and this one was one of the best I've ever seen
The other Precure girls are not so smart to let Candy almost ruin Miyuki's life like that. I don't get how she wasn't suspended from school, she was explicitly insubordination and then her Lebronesque walking on the basketball court.
And then the transformation scenes. So freaking hilarious,
and then the best of all with
. The battle scene too was fantastic, just a really great episode overall.

Nice.
I'd organised one in London. It basically involved me going to London and walking around by myself.
Gotta finish my plate before starting my backlog season.
Sakamichi no Apollon 9-12/END
Well, that was pretty good. It couldn't match the highest highs (like episode 7), but what could?
It definitely suffered from being compressed so greatly. I think the first half of episode 12 covers something like half a year in 10 minutes, and all that stuff happening so quickly hurts the sense of finality they wanted to convey.
All in all, I'm very happy with it. It didn't live up to the anime-saving staff hype it had (what could?), but it was a strong show, with great direction, a well-sketched main cast, and some excellent musical performances. I just wish it had a bit more space to let the plot breathe, and allow some of the characters to grow. Yurika specifically wound up poorly served by the show's fast pace.
Tomorrow, I'll finish Tsuritama!

Yeah... even I'd drawn the line well before that one.

What a weird ending eps.
Overall, a sexy and classy show. not 2 words ya hear out of me for pretty much any anime. Instead of your typical fall on girls crotch gag, they do play with fetishes in a classy,sexy way.
And there is also:
Easily surpassed my expectations based off the show summary.
8.5/10

The group running in the OP looks like they're constipated. Overall looks like a poor man's Hanasaku Iroha in terms of visual and character design,maybe because it's not drawn by Mel Kishida though the story and setting will probably different and better due no Mari Okada.
Okita Sawa is best girl.

Oh, yes. And, again, Chet would agree.
Damn straight.
Damn it. Bumping this one up on my soon to watch list. Will start when I get home from work.
