I once commented on the fact that the reverse-loanworded term 'anime' was improperly re-borrowed. Animation is animation to the Japanese, so I don't understand why that changed when the word came back. I have many fond memories of plenty of American animated films and shows, especially since I was pretty much coming of age during the Disney renaissance of the 90's which gave us instant classics like The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, etc. and shows like Batman: The Animated Series and Gargoyles were airing on American TV.
American animation is pretty extinct today though, everything is Pixar and Dreamworks 3D CGI animation now. Traditional animation in America died when Disney closed their traditional animation studio during the 2000's.
Actually, I didn't. There were about 500 posts between when I last looked at the thread and this moment, so I was skimming quickly. But I think I'll get around to the last 4 episodes of the show and then the movie when I get a chance. I want to get done catching up on Yuru Yuri!
He pretty much expended all his ability on character variety in sCRYed and Ryvius imo. After that it was all downhill. SEED, Fafter, Heroic Age, Olynssis, Linebarrels. It was all clone after clone of the same goddamn characters.
I don't think Linebarrels suffered that to the same extent the others did. That it was an adaptation probably helped, though.
Ooh, I didn't even know there was an animation of this. The book is fantastic.
Yuru Yuri 10:
This episode did not contain any Akarin, Chinatsu, Sakurako, or Himawari.
But it had lots of Kyouko instead, which makes it the best episode of the series.
When you give them human qualities like speech and intelligence, its that much more disturbing when theyre being murdered on screen, not to mention a musical number about death.
Of course, when you're older you realize why farmers are out to get them.

Horizon S2 Ep7
Not much action this time, as the fights wrapped up last episode, but it was still great thanks to Tori and his sister being the awesome pervs they are, Horizon being a sexier
and Honda having that beautiful talk with the Queen
I love this show so much, that I hope for a third and fourth season while the second one is still airing.

Doraemon
(even the Pope was convinced).
That's pretty much it, really. Maybe it would've made more of an impact on me had I watched it when I was younger and more easily impressionable.
Same with the Sanrio movies.
Oh there is. Its very graphic for a animated movie. Rabbits dont fuck around when it comes to fighting. The animators used up all the red paint.
Those are the wings of an angel.

Typical self "ownage".
Animation is called Doga (I KNOW somebody going to come in here and say - err no, you misspelled it, its deals with KeyFrames etc, etc) in Japan. The reason it got called anime was the coproductions the orignal DiC (owned by Jean Chaplain) and other french/canadian animation distros and Topcraft had in the mid 1970's. The name stuck when they needed a cool catch phrase back in the 1980's in the states. Japanaimation wasnt going to work and Doga was not going to cut it because it felt too boring or wasnt known as much. So it stuck.
As for American Animation - be careful - I get really pissed about this because when they said traditional animation died when Disney closed their doors is the biggest crock and lie people swing around. You want to know when the traditional animation died? It hasnt. It never will in this country because their are still people working in it. They use flash or toonbloom (which i hate both). If you really want to get serious, the day it died was 1965 - the day Warner's cut cost, Bugs Bunny didnt return for another 15 years... Disney didnt end NOTHING. I get really pissed at people who just flippinly say 2d died off when Disney closed the studio. This is a bold face lie.
No, someone is going to come in here and say you got it wrong because you got it wrong. The only period of time in Japan where animation works were commonly called doga is in the 40s. This is actually documented. There's no reason to try and ignore reality to make up your own alternate history. Throughout the 60s and 70s, how animation was referred to entertainment went through a series of trends, many of them included a form of "anime" in what they were called, as a short form from animation.

Oh hey, it's jman with the wrong opinions again! Where the hell have you been anyways? I haven't even seen you trash K-ON in forever! <3
Yuru Yuri 11:
Suddenly, a random "serious" episode. It actually worked too, because I just spent the previous 10 episodes watching these girls messing around and having fun and crushing on each other. That was sufficient "character development" that this episode managed to make an emotional impact of some kind. I don't even know what the hell I'm saying. I really like this show though.
eh
Adventure time and now Gravity Falls are pretty great, and Korra is one of the biggest budgeted serial animations out there. I couldn't say it was dead, but its certainly less active than the Japanese industry counterpart.
Im still waiting for the western equivalent of an ecchi animation.

Isn't that the whole point of Twilight?
In terms of pure "enjoyment", I actually quite like Tari Tari.
Well, when she's on... she's on!Darn.
I got excited there for a moment because I didn't know Kobayashi was in Gintama.
Well, I'll take a little Kobayashi over no Kobayashi.
I'm going to guess eitherI also hope this isn't the future of video gamesZelda or Dragon Quest
...Although I think Nintendo started out as some sort of card game company or something? I'll have to go double check later.
It's Super Mario Brothers... 1!
And yeah, they started off doing Hanafuda cards way back when.
And if you don't take duck at face value, there's always miles of navelgazing. Japan themselves aren't convinced French plays into it at all, have cites of "anime" dating back to the mid-60s, and spent most of the span between WW2 and the '80s talking about "manga movies" and "TV manga" anyway.

Sometimes the Internet requires that drama be sacrificed on it's altar. Fresh blood is always needed.

I just want to know why everyone has such beautiful eyelashes.
Don Bluth movies were making bank for a period of time, no? And then there's Anastasia, which admittedly might as well be a Disney movie anyway.
Hunter x Hunter Pilot
I decided to watch this to tonight to get a taste of the setting. I've heard great things about the original anime and impressions about where the current one is heading seem positive as of late so I figured why not. It came across as rather appealing to me so I figure I have something to look forward to with the other series down the road.
Evidently, the true moral of Twilight is to vow celibacy.
So in other words: Terrible juvenile fiction, about vampires, main character has their choice of supernatural mates and they're all horribad, there is a direct link for the target market between reading it and never having sex, readers masturbate over it way too much.
You know, for some reason, I'm pretty sure there was an anime JUST LIKE THIS two, maybe three years ago. But I can't quite place the title.

Even the manga is pretty similar to that guy's style.
Don Bluth was a product of the Disney system and his own films reflect that to varying degrees.

Twilight was a 4 book series about a girl deciding if she's a furry or a necrophiliac.
Well, you certainly don't want to have a psychic demon baby out of wedlock and end up with the father as a deadbeat, now do you?
It doesn't count if you light the signal yourself.
Thank you Branduil. The executives pulled that trick in the mid 2000's.

The Secret of NIMH and An American Tail, stand and be recognized!
The ridiculous Fox overspending and subsequent collapse of it's animation studio should not be mentioned, though. Nobody knows to this day what Fox was thinking.
Yuru Yuri 12:
A quality finale for a quality show. I'm being completely serious here too. Whether you like yuri or not, this show had all the basic elements for an enjoyable slice-of-life in place and executed them competently. The yuri was just the popped cherry on top of an already enjoyable little production.
Now on to season 2!
Reverse-(x) is in fashion this season. I'm simply following the trends in order to more fully meet the needs of a 上級者 audience!
My biggest complaint about season one is that there are simply too many characters and not enough development of them. I think K-On!'s first season is guilty of this and there are only five characters! Season two so far is much better about this.
i get the idea, but i felt that maybe there was a honest concrete word for it.

They made money till the Disney resurgence in the 90's.
The utterly execrable Stripperella comes to mind too.

Ah, was that the abortion thing that came up?
True. lol
I want to say it's not as pervy, but I suppose it's all relative. lol
Twilight is comedy gold.
I still can't get over how Edward is literally an old man who creeps teenage girls. Also, what kind of masochist wants to go to high school every year for their entire life?
