There's also a fair bit philosophical stuff but it's been ages since I last saw it outside of sakuga compilations up in the net. :<I bet there's a lot of CG in it! lol
(So random action scenes then?Although I suppose Universal Soldier was a sequel to Blade Runner, so why not.)
Oh and there's CG used but I don't really remember it getting in the way of just how fantastic the movie looks.
I thought Innocence was an excellent film but it might share of the issues that you had with the first film. As much as I loved the film, the dialogue wore pretty thin after a while. Even so I think it's definitely worth watching even from just an artistic and atmospheric stand-point.
Also, it's one of the only anime films where I think the use of CG worked great.

Pokemon B/W Rival Destinies 23
She's really into muscles.
The tournament keeps on going. And the opponents continue to be completely one note. It was Iris vs. Faux French Connoisseur, then a filler match, way too into Iris vs filler character, way too evil guy vs filler guy and Jerkface Trip vs everyone's favorite Bianca.
The fights weren't that bad. No wtf moves or anything really like that. There's just a lot of Pokemon muscle porn going on here.

Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox 6
Just a cute New Years episode. There's not much else to be said about this episode. Besides being much better than the previous episode.
There's no such thing as too much to drink!
I wonder what they're implying here...

Well, maybe I'll check it out some time before I give up on the idea altogether. lol

Glad you enjoyed it! I have the same issue with it that you brought up: exposition dumps. It's unfortunate that much of it is necessary to properly flesh out the concepts and information to the point where it's worth examining, but I didn't mind it too much. It's clunky, but it's a nice departure from other movies/ovas that don't bother explaining anything within a reasonable amount to the viewer. Having seen the Stand Alone Complex series 1 before ever watching the movie definitely softened the blow for understanding jargon and how some elements operated in the world.
I'm not sure if I could recommend it with great enthusiasm.
On one hand, it has some really great visuals and tone, but the amount of never-ending philosophical nonsense spewed by every character throughout the movie is difficult to weather. It felt much more like it was meant to be a novel instead of a film. That said, if you like Batou and wouldn't mind spending a little more time in the GitS universe, I think it would be worth investigating. Just be prepared for a much slower and tedious film than the first one.
The two seasons of Stand Alone are their own separate stories from the film, and they are pretty good. I much prefer the first season's overarching plot, but the second had some good episodes that looked at teammates on an individual level. However, I felt the second season's overarching plot was far weaker in comparison to the first.
Mardock Scramble: The Second Combustion
I enjoyed this far better than the first in spite of the stuff like ugly CG roulette or talking heads (lol). The first never really grabbed me but this worked for me. I'm not so sure resolution of the first act, as it were, should have been the opening of the second movie as the cliffhanger of the first movie seemed like an unnatural stopping point. That issue seems to have been rectified in this one to give the finale a decent setup. I think I liked the dialogue a bit more too, I really enjoyed the casino scenes, and watched Boiled walk around being all hardass was fab. I suppose I'd describe it as a solid second act.
Negatives? There's a level of crazy that needs toned down as it obscures events and a story that should be able to stand on their own.
It's like they're afraid to tell the story without some sort of spectacle to use as a selling point.

Shit like Paradise, the talking dolphin and associated dolphin love, the flying maneating sharks, and that ridiculous flying house were a bit much for me.
This grated too as there was apparently some sort of rainbow filter in effect that was just straight ugly. I don't remember it being used all that much if at all in the first (which in turn is an indictment of the first since I watched it this week and can't remember shit) but it just turned everything ugly. I assumed it's use would be confined to the setting it was first used in but nope!
Thanks for the answers. I'm eventually going to get to it but this sort of thing helps me decide whether it'll be sooner rather than later.

The upcoming episodes have less of a focus on her for a while at least.
Don't worry she gets much less annoying later.
Then gets worse later on! Not really a Relena fan but she has a role and fills it well.
Am i really the only one that likes Rin? Maybe it's her hair.....

The mirrored image is such a simple but effective technique when it comes to introspection. It's probably why twins are a go to image/trope as well.
So the second movie has nothing to do with the Major? It just seems like the first movie put it all on its sleeve in terms of where it thought the whole humanity thing should go.
Also, the first movie didn't have an awesome Roy Batty speech! No one there saw attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion!
Yeah, there are just times when you just see it coming and it slows the film to a crawl. It just seems like the film could have been tighter if it trusted the audience a bit more.
Conflicting information about the sequel. lol
So, the anime does its own thing... but it doesn't even touch on the Major's metaphysical identity issues?
Go ahead man, be a rebel.
I dare you.
Sorry but if i ever had to choose between the three of them i'd always go with Illya. Fuck the other two. Except for Rin's hair. Her hair is moe.
Everybody likes Rin's zettai ryouiki.
Oh so that's what it is!

Noooo! There are too few watching it as is!
Folktales from Japan 18
Once upon a time, emperors would NTR a man if he stumbled upon a beautiful drawing of the man's wife, ghoulish spirits would watch over fish stocks and ensure their sustainability and poor people would lay the foundations to the American Dream™ by fighting each other over a theoretically large sum of money they'd have no hope of ever acquiring.

I'm in until the end. Our faith will be rewarded when it finally turns into anime of the season.

I think its interesting how some of the pilots basically spend time thinking of the other ones, like Duo just thinking of Heero, Quatre thinking of Trowa. Heero's internal struggle of
did add a new element to his character thus justifying what the doctor said. Great.
Though for speculation Im going to guess that Relena

is zecks daughter. Can be the only reason why the leader of that group called off the attack on her, and their last names are both peacecrafts.

I keep forgetting to start this one. I really need to fix that... >>;
You know how you started with a remark about how scifi has changed? That's the distinction between the movie and TV right there.

Believe.
Underrated show of the season.
She prefers big American wieners instead of little cocktail wieners.

Saw a lot of comments about this in this thread so I decided to give it a try. Got past most of the "awkward" moments but then I got to the mid-point of episode 6. I'm gonna get put on some kind of list for watching this aren't I?

I just assumed they'd be similar, being based on the same source material and all... but that makes sense. lol
Sadly, yes.

Kokoro Connect 4 and Sword Art Online 4 have turned into white knight shows. Does Kokoro Connect get a free pass because it has a character who is genre savvy, or is it even worse because
?
Sigh, anime.
(I suppose a White Knight Chronicles joke is required here?)
she falls for him anyway

First gif is awesome. THe second? Not so much...
SAO is hopeless! Kokoro?
I think more drama will complicate stuff and keep the guy from having the girls entirely falling for him. That trust was formed on shaky grounds and it'll take just one uncomfortable event or untimely body switch to blow it!

Uhhh pretty sure wet pussies are NSFW, dude.
Trololol. Had to say it since you complained about it in the funny pics thread.
Wait what? How is SAO hopeless?

It's just weird that in Kokoro, the guy has basically
built up a harem, but they have - at least up until now - avoided having him deal with the only other guy in the group in any serious/meaningful manner
It's pretty hopeless man. lol

What if the end reveals that everything was in Kirito's head as he dies from sleep deprivation and dehydration from playing an MMO for several days straight? And then a middle aged Japanese woman comes out and stares disapprovingly at the viewer while shaking her head?
Dude, you hate the show with the burning passion. Come on.
I think Kokoro will eventually lead up to
Taichi being the most difficult one to fix also I don't think the other 2 girls will end up liking him. It seems he already has a girl he likes and the leader knows that already.
Actually, the twist in the end is that
Kirito is actually an AI game master who only thought he was a real human being, and that when he wins the game, he effectively kills himself.[/spoilr]
Accel World - Episode 16
If they just kept the entire show in the game world, it would be a pretty solid shounen action show. Too bad they're obliged to adapt all the crappy real world stuff as well. Can't wait to see Silver Crow fuck shit up again next week. But judging from the preview, there are going to be dangerous real world scenes I need to skip in the next episode. Aaaaaaah. Lol.

But it doesn't show their face. If anything, I see that as a plus.
