A date~

At the beginning of mankind, there were CG basketball nets.

You can see the moment where her heart breaks.

Her basketball must be protected!

He's starting the right flags for poor girl's route.

 

[survivor]

And then what happened?

Spoiler

Does she stink or not?

Binbougami ga 4

Eh, it was alright. Chichiko needs to learn how to let go.

A couple of references were amusing.

Natsuyuki rendezvous 4

This show, man. This show.

 

[SDBurton]

Seems like that Chocolate show is drawing from Amagami SS in more than just character design. Anime!

Do we have some knee kissing action?

Fantastic Children 22-26

And so ends one of the best anime I've seen in years. A fantastic tale, the kind you only see once in ten years. It makes me depressed as fuck to know so little people know about it and watched it. If i could back in time, i'd punch myself in the face for not having watched it sooner. From now on, i shall make my quest on the Internet to have more people watch it!

Some comments on the plot:

Spoiler

I wonder if Helga and Thoma remember what happened. Agi said they would forget about their past lives, but did they also forget their adventure time together? Also, if it had aired today, i bet there would have been shitons of people getting mad at the Soran/Tina/Sesu love triangle and how it ended, ahah.

Also

Spoiler

the Extended Ending. Holy Balls. I'm so glad they got their happy ending, because holy fuck, if i had an heart i would cry like a little bitch ;_; Soreto with her father was the most sad for me.

Congrats It's one of these animes i started on a whim and couldn't put down ..what a ride!!
It's a clear recommandation but few people i tried to put this in front of their eyes couldn't get into it for some reason ..so many twists , so many tales ..

that no one actually likes

I enjoy it

 

[Chet Rippo]

What is he doing and why?

He has an armpit fetish.

 

[firehawk12]

Do we have some knee kissing action?

He's not Juinichi-tier.

 

[Thoraxes]

I enjoy it

Me too.

 

[SDBurton]

He's not Juinichi-tier.

That is quite depressing. And here I was considering adding this show to my list.

 

[dakkumauji]

Do we have some knee kissing action?

That's probably the next event if he goes down her route. There are like nine other routes he can take.

If he would only take Yume's route.

Trava

So this was a very cool OVA about a couple of alien guys named Trava and Shinkai (whom I first saw in Redline and its pilot) being asked to survey a particular planet. They recover an escape pod along the way, find out there's a survivor inside, and then shit just gets weird until the end but in a good way. Frenetic action, crazy visuals, and snappy banter helped elevate the OVA over its rather thin premise and made it something very fun to watch. It's not like the story is the draw in something like this anyhow although it's a shame the Fist Planet stuff alluded to probably isn't explored any further though.

It was co-directed by Katsuhito Ishii and Takeshi Koike who, of course, went on to later make Redline. The second episode had storyboards and key animation done by Hiroyuki Imaishi which is why I'd like to think the second was the best & most exciting segment. I figure most anyone interested in that has probably caught this already but thought it was worth mentioning.

Trava and Shinkai should be recognizable to those familiar with Redline.

Thought this was a neat shot.

Those hips were too much. The explanation even worse.

And some hot visual effects to round this out.

 

[cajunator]

What is he doing and why?

He heard that she smelled like strawberries.

 

[SDBurton]

That's probably the next event if he goes down her route. There are like nine other routes he can take.

Oh, so there's no 4 episodes for each girl?

 

[RurouniZel]

He heard that she smelled like strawberries.

That's the wrong pit to search for that smell!! >>;

 

[dakkumauji]

Oh, so there's no 4 episodes for each girl?

For some of the routes, you might be lucky if he even talks to the girl in an episode.

RKB - 03 - Bathing in Coach-san's House

A lolimergency! Good thing Creeper-sensei is there to save the day!

I-I-Is it an illicit late night phone call while in night-wear?! Sensei seemed to be checking out the boys when Tomoka called!

The only way to properly stunt your growth is to sleep in drawers! Don't become the Big Man!

Oh yeah, there was a basketball game at the end too, I guess.

 

[cajunator]

That's the wrong pit to search for that smell!! >>;

Hehehehee

 

[Branduil]

Me too.

Strawberry ice cream is the best.

 

[Hellsing321]

Ro Kyu Bu 8

So now flashbacks to when a high school girl was a loli and more swimsuits and even a maid. Where'd the basketball go?!?? Oh there it is but its in swimsuits. fml

You don't have to do this to yourself. There is always a way out.

I totally haven't forgotten my blood pact with nakama Uchip

I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack

I so thought of that when I saw the above scene.

I discovered a new favorite ice cream yesterday.
Almond pistachio!

RKB - 04 - Shiny Gifto~

Boys got OWNED.

A marriage proposal to the largest loli. The Jelly-Wars begin as some of the girls begin to take counteractions! The girls are going to give him their "stuffed alpacas".

Tomoka is dedicated to getting Coach-san back. Shiny Gifto~

 

[Nafe]

What's weird is that in the concert video that you can find on youtube, they just had the girls who played the boys come out as girls... so the song loses all meaning whatsoever in the context of the anime. But oh well. lol

I haven't actually seen the show yet or that concert video you mention. Maybe they were trying to go for more of a Yuri angle?

There's a difference between liking someone and liking to watch someone.

True. In the cases of Irisu and Shinobu, I find both the characters and watching them to be interesting.

[sonicmj1]

Paranoia Agent 3

Back on the episode, the ride leaned on the topic of freedom more explicitly in the latter half. It is, however, not always a comfortable or probable shift (depending on how a person values or defines it for self, in this case

Spoiler

escaping the demon within

). The end leads to a questionable conclusion to the "Golden Bat" as well as a questionable conclusion to his alignment. A figure that stands for longed freedom? I don't know yet. But I am interested in seeing more who are "victims" of their own life because it has kept my interesed thus far.

At the moment, I think of Shonen Bat as a more neutral force.

Spoiler

He just comes when he's called.

Spoiler

Everyone in the show is looking for a release from their problems by finding an excuse that forces people to take their problems seriously. But that's the same kind of emotion that drives people in Japan towards suicide, isn't it? Society is supposed to support them, but instead they give up on being helped.

I have to wonder how much this solution actually "saves" them.

Now and Then, Here and There - 01

Well, the premise isn't honestly very good. The first ten minutes or so almost made me want to kill myself.

Shu is a typical Japanese boy, but has an unbeatable, optimistic and determined attitude. However, when he sees a mysterious girl with strange eyes named Lala-Ru up on a smokestack, he is soon pulled into a strange desert world.

Well, aren't we original!

Jokes aside, fortunately things get real pretty quickly (around the 14th minute or so) and i have to say the show managed to caught my interest and i look forward to see how things will develop. And i heard good things about it.

Area no Kishi 28

Probably two episodes late but I just now noticed the new clips of stuff in the OP, like the beach stuff with the Nadeshiko JPN team and other characters in the summer time. Episode could have actually showed the full game in more detail instead of two scores and then fast forwarded moments of the rest.

Yusuke was cool, and Im guessing the writers favorite character is Leonardo Silva...

Spoiler

His team should have lost, I kind of wanted Yusuke's team to win

.

The eyecatch things are nice, like the one above.
