Dude. I've been keeping up with it since day 1. Also this is the percentage chart of why AW is cool and good. 95% Kuroyukihime. 3% Sky Raker. 1.5% Fights. 0.5% The Ability to Hate Chiyu.

And with that, I hope you all enjoyed this weeks descent into madness. I highly recommend everyone watch the OP for this show so they can somewhat grasp the horrors that await those that dare to watch this... thing.
it doesn't look very anime it looks like it's own thing.
I love the soldiers reaction to that dart, I feel like am watching history in the making right now, both for animegaf and for anime.
Is this the glorious future duckroll spoke of?

I prefer visual styles which are both unique and attractive, such as Angel's Egg, Kaiba, and Mononoke.
Are they all on pogo sticks?
Im sure everyone agrees but those don't exactly come out very often
which is funny because the anime uses every anime budget saving transition and technique known to man
so it looks anime but it also doesnt, or something
they're one of the lucky few to have access to the mc's magical sandals
I don't believe you. This requires visual evidence.
Not sure what boundaries are here, are we talking about one piece as whole(anime/manga) or just the earlier parts baratie arc.

Honestly, it is possible to make Oda's designs look good (as in the aforementioned OP Movie 6), but these early TV episodes are doing a very poor job of that.

Yeah, and I think it's probably the biggest barrier of entry for the series (with the exception of length maybe). When someone showed my the 5th OP (when the art style shifted) while I was stilll far behind that point, it blew my mind and made me want to get there as fast as possible.
Strong World capitalized on the designs far more than movie 6
its actually one of the better looking anime movies in general
Am baffled as to how you don't have a problem with movie 6 but you do with the tv.
The movie suffers from the same art issues all hosoda movies have, like lod issues like it runs of unreal 3
Incoming Cajunator Explosion.
There's always time for yuri.
I don't get it. I also don't see the appeal for the show either.
You do say this often.
I also say I'm confused often.
One day your tastes will evolve. It's an acquired taste.

It's OK, kayos. I don't get it either.
What else has she voiced?
Not Maka.
These people. And Sakurako's older sister is one of those colder personalities too, so it's gonna be great.
The most HYPE this season so far. They better not botch it up

How many episodes of Panty and Stocking did he endure through?
Aww yeah! Older sister incoming!
If this is the future I hope anime companies shamelessly re-release pre 2012 anime. It's worse than the 2000 shift to the clean digital look.
The one with the horrifying room?

Silly me, thinking there would just be the broadcast order and the "real" order. That's quite the rabbit hole. Now I want to rewatch it in either the psychological or unified sequences. They sound neat.
The Prisoner is extremely awesome. As long as you watch the first episode first and the last two episodes last, you should still enjoy it.
GIMP is a free alternative.

So it's like Nichijou then.
Minus the visual gags.
They can't handle the mood swings.
I can't believe you forgot she voiced Homura!
More like I never knew.
However i like her as Senjou, Lavie, and Homuhomu so I am ok with this.

I might give the fights and Sky Raker a little more credit, but yeah, pretty much.

Apparently Lucas sued them, which is where they claimed that they weren't inspired by Star Wars, they were inspired by Space Battleship Yamato.
That's the worst burn I've ever taken.

While I stand by my statement, this wasn't really meant as a criticism so much as just an observation. What I'm interested in is what they do with story they've put in play.
Maybe
Why would people in the anime thread watch anime?
Miracle Train: Oedo-sen e Youkoso 13 (END):
okay, uhh........what?
Time paradoxes, eeeeeevil mind control, and palpable desperation to come up with something, anything, that could infuse the last episode with the drama and intensity of shit getting real even if none of this was what the show was ever even about and none of it makes a fucking ounce of sense anyway. Did a show about anthropomorphized train stations broing it up in a train car and giving bad life advice to women really need a sudden existential threat and villainous betrayal in the final episode? This was by far some of the most unnecessary, hackneyed, poorly-executed and generally incomprehensible endgame plot escalation I've ever witnessed in any anime, and I've seen my fair share of really terrible endings.
Basically,

Somehow, while technically explaining everything, this explained absolutely nothing. That's pretty much what happens when shit's made up as it goes along with the act of going out with a bang prioritized over the actual content of the ending. Even among

is really really freaking lazy.
Bad, bad show; no redeeming qualities whatsoever. You've been warned.

Essentially, this. You can be a character that changes over time and never, ever become a likeable character.
There are shows with far worse characters who mature into actually likeable characters, such as in The Twelve Kingdoms, but that's not how I feel about Renton.
