There's like 60 pages of AnimeGAF to read, you guys work too fast. :(

So, instead of reading 60 pages of useless fluff, I will grace you with my impressions of

Uh, we were doing important stuff like ranking IS girls, someone called you out, and I think there's a Glass Fleet suicide pact going on now.

Wow Keita is definitely back in the running for best character in this anime. All his scenes and his getting in on the comedy too and that scene (above) was the best scene in the WHOLE anime. Keita Tsuwabuki FTW! I almost started to ship Rindou with him, but well, Rindou would have been awesome as a guy, rather disappointing.

Good episode especially the teacher and the people acknowledging its the main characters classroom and transfer students.

Shut Up! I'm trying to sleep!

The face changing scene was hilarious.

Denpa Onna actually contains some more Mother/Earthbound references too. In the first episode when Meme and Makoto are talking at the table during dinner, during the conversation Meme says a few lines lines like "at the beginning of the 1900s the land was covered with a dark cloud" and "the father's name was George and the Mother Maria".

These are a reference to how the first Mother's story starts. As flawfuls mentioned though, this didn't get an official western release so it's no surprise if many didn't get that one.

In Episode 6 when Maekawa and Ryuuko come over to Makoto and Erio's house, Erio has a big plushie in her room which looks a lot like a Mr. Saturn character. Maekawa mentions it being a "meiousei-san", meiousei being Pluto, so it would translate to Mr. Pluto. Mr. Saturn would be "dosei-san". Just like having the name Father, this was probably to prevent copyright.

Nice! Someone made a gif of that part. I loved that scene with Meme.

Oh wow, I had no idea it went that far at all. Very interesting!

Also, I made the gif :D

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
What happens in Binbougami 02? Is that the episode where the grey-haired girl meets the monk?

You're getting a bit ridiculous now.

Mazinger Z Movie

Sadly, this isn't a real movie so much as it was episode 5 of the series shown as a movie at some festival. Dang.

Dr. Hell has some illusion device and he's going to use to help capture Mazinger.
Dr. Hell's soldiers are pretty hardcore too. One climbed a electrical tower and grabbed a line rather than face capture. This was pretty cool though. I should get around to the series proper sometime.

Now that's an old school Baron Ashura.

That shading is so awesome. It wasn't always present but it enhanced the show when it was.
 
Gundam Seed HD 35

ah, silly duckroll hyping me up. There really isn't that much new HD scenes.

This is probably the only notable one. Did they just retcon in Freedom's weapon overheating?

Trust yourself to pirates.
Your ship gets crushed for scrap money.

Imagine that.

Also, just how desperately does Michel seek death?

Hyping you up? What? Why do people go out of their way to blame me for shit when I never said anything at all. I don't even remember ever talking to you about SEED. Or talking much about SEED at all. Fuck off.

LOL. trolled. I thought the HD scenes were pretty legit. Even the Nicol scene.

Best girl (tied with Momiji) has arrived! Ranmaru brings out the best in the 2 leads. They totally nailed her voice (though it does sound a bit odd when she's in her girl clothes). Either way, excellent episode and things will only get better from here.
For me this episode is a necessary evil as it isn't heavy on the references ..but as everything that happens will be important for the rest of the story ..i don't mind ...

Woah, I haven't really watched anime in years and randomly decided to check out both K-on and Death Note. Both were really amazing shows. K-On was really charming and the characters were so much fun, I need to watch the movie asap. Death Note was another fantastic ride, I never expected to actually like the show, I'm not usually big fan of any shows with demons etc. But the whole cat and mouse chase was great and the demon world stuff was mainly in the background and didn't overwhelm the show at any point. Not to mention I really liked the main character, you don't see many protagonist like him often.

I think I will start watching anime again, I don't even dare to wonder what I have missed these past years. Is there GAF's yearly top 10s or something like that? At the moment I would like something light hearted and fun to watch, just like K-On, something to watch from time to time when I have nothing else to do. I also would like show with good story arcs kinda like Death Note. I am going to check out Tsugumi Ohba's other show too. There was also some show about two brothers and space? There was thread about it here on GAF but can't remeber the shows name.

You could start off by checking this thread:

Most of the stuff in this episode was so transcendently spectacular that I don't even want to allude to it as people who have yet to watch this deserve to have the experience completely unspoiled.

I am crying.

- wait,
Cleo attacked Vetti
without even knowing who he was?
- small universe!
- improbable upper body strength ftw
- cockney barkeep is not amused
- OH MY DEAR GOD, THEY'RE SHOOTING AT MICHEL
- RALPH PSYCHO EYES
- Lord John Fall is just...yessssssssssssssss
- wait why does that girl have a clam for a head

Yeah, Denpa Onna makes all kinds of other references too. There's that one scene where they are racing down the hill on a bike as a nod to The Girl who Leapt Through Time or the ending changes in the one episode as a nod to E.T.

You remember that one episode of Utena, I think it was 16, with Nanami and the cow and there is a song playing called Dona Dona?
Well in Episode 11 Maekawa asks if she can ride in Makoto's bike basket and then he asks her what it's like to which she replies something like "I feel like a cow being carried away in a wagon", or something like that anyway. Makoto then responds "Dona Dona Do"

There's a bunch more references, many of which I think Meme herself drops. Someone's probably created a wiki cataloging all of them.

Thanks for the gif too :)
