New episodes yes best season ever frothing at the mouth gardyvbruzcbdj
Because 90% of the time anime tie-ups are actually supposed to promote the artistes instead of pay superstars to perform sure sellers. The record companies are the ones produce most of the anime in the first place. They already know certain artistes will sell even without any anime connection. Haven't you noticed that most anime songs are performed by newer singers and bands? That's how they gain popularity and expand their fanbase. Sounds like you would make a very shitty anime business man!!

Alright. I guess I'm wrong. I apologize. orz
I hope that means we get the Kintama arc!

It might actually be good to wait to see how they handle part 3 if they get there.
Cheap... sterile, lifeless b/g art - in every scene. One of the reasons I dropped Space Bros.. If you're not going to give me an interesting story, AND you're going to force clean hallways and blank blank walls down my throat why am I watching you!?
Fuck tea... COFFEE!!
wait, we already went through this didn't we? D:

Yeah, Natsu does have different attacks, but they pretty much all do the same thing. There's really only one instance I can think of where he used his attacks in a creative way, and that's when he used the flame as a thruster to propel him through the dog guy's barrier.
Gray on the other hand, is generally more strategic in general, and it doesn't feel like an asspull like some other wins. The fight with Ultear might be the only believable win in the S class exam arc because they were both in the ocean when he beat her, and that doesn't even take into account the blood freezing he used to counter her time powers.
My apologies. The rest still stands IMO - they throw cuboid bombs made of bad CG at each other, the art looks flat too me (when I can see it in the ridiculous darkness of that PV), and it's all just people looking angry and ready to fight each other with no sense of style or place. Except the girl smiles in a school uniform for a bit!
I had a look at the manga and I understand it's some kind of Battle Royale-esque thing except they're all people who were really good at an online game? I guess it must have some room for battle tactics but I don't enjoy this kind of thing in the way you do as it always takes forever for them to get on with it.
The art's much better in the manga, though, I'll give it that.

That's shounen # 7 (or is it 8 now) for fall! Wooo!
Utena 39 (END)
So that was great, unsurprisingly. Who knew a bunch of scrawled pencil lines going round in a circle could be so impressive? I'm surprised at how similar to the Penguindrum ending it is - I guess the core themes of the shows are much closer than I thought in how they deal with
.
I want to go back to university and sit in my friends' rooms and babble about this show again now that I've finally seen the whole thing. It's a shame they've all moved on from anime now
I still have Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion to watch, though, before I can finally catch up with the rest of the world on "essential 90s anime"...
Silly Utena! Of course you became a prince, otherwise the Swords wouldn't have turned on you!

sacrifice and punishment
Akio is a fool. A man whose very existence is a metaphor and illusion who couldn't even understand that the Power of Dios itself never really existed. The other Duellists all understand in the end - hence the badminton match conversation talked about earlier in the thread - and Utena's revolution brings them what they wanted.

I don't know, Btooom is pretty well paced. Fights don't usually last that long and the tactics are generally a quick and concise, with the more in-depth ones being explained after the fact.

Really liked the episode for the plot and all the revelations. The best moment was, apart from the Liberta Nova moments, the Jolly
.
Mondo (papa) has the best card and all his moments were so good, especially that backstory. Didn't know Jolly was with him even as a teen.
.
Still think that Ojousama is close on the edge of being overpowered.
.
Surely were still a month or so away from the Duello with all these outstanding issues, 3 or so episodes left, hopefully it gets 12 more episodes...

finally taking off his sunglasses in one scene, wow

that whole scene of contracting with the Torocco, and then choosing the world as all the other cards flew was so impressive. I didn't know he was bearing such a burden like that, but all for protecting others is nice
Still think that Ojousama is close on the edge of being overpowered.
How does she get not only Lovers but La Ruota Della Fortuna, with that impressive ability. Though I guess with such an ability comes great consequence, and I think shes about to do something not smart. Her memories will be lost all for the sake of papa, surely theres another way?

Maybe it's like the reverse Matrix and when he comes out, he finds himself injected with all this knowledge of kung fu and shit.

Maybe Kagome counts, but it's not like she does most of the fighting.
Considering SAO forced 10,000 people onto life support and killed thousands of them, it'll probably be the last full-immersion MMO ever created, since the genre would almost certainly be banned.
lol
Why would it be the last full-immersion MMO? They just have to get around the problems. That's all.

Yeah, but they need to rerun the same episode 8 times now!
I don't know anything about Inuyasha. lol
Public perception would be enough to dissuade people for a while and company liability would be enough to dissuade business.

Started into Infinite Ryvius last night with the first four episodes. Good stuff so far. I think I'm liking Hisashi Hirai's character designs better here than in any of the other series I've seen that he's worked on. The soundtrack (very R&B/hip-hop influenced) is very different than what I was expecting. Not sure how I feel about it but maybe it'll grow on me.
So maybe I should start getting caught up with Gintama again. Only about 150 episodes to go...

Because the last one killed people. I think consumers would be a little weary of a new one.
"Try our new full-immersion MMO, this one won't kill you we swear!"
But it wasn't really the software that killed them. It was NervGEAR.
It wouldn't matter since both would be synonymous with SAO.
Eureka 7 AO - 17
Cool episode but come on @ the end:
Ao's development in this episode is all over the place too. Just when
Cool episode but come on @ the end:
how many times are people going to be captured/quarantined by a different army. Maybe this happened only once or twice before but given the length of the show, it feels like this is the 20th time. Did part of the Gun's power involve turning this into a Gundam show?
Ao's development in this episode is all over the place too. Just when
he seems to have got his shit together a little and start developing a backbone (including rising up out of the water like a boss to face Truth), he doesn't pull the trigger and lets himself be captured. The former I guess I can deal with but ugh. Latter I guess ties into the point I made above.
Speaking of SAO
Sword Art Online 3
Kind of a lame episode, everything felt so disjointed. Not really helped by the massive timeskip to Chistmas or the fact none of the new characters were every introduced, they were just there and Kirito already knew them. Though I guess it's not a big problem since a bunch of them wont be showing up again!

You're assuming the mass audience will recognize the difference between the gear and the software. There would be a gigantic stigma on future VR MMOs for at least half a century.

Eh, I don't feel inclined to recommend that people wait over a year for the possibility of another adaptation when we've already got a highly entertaining OVA out there.

Maybe they can digitally edit the old episodes to add
the real main character
I dunno, the original OVA is fantastic, lacking in some of the best stuff sure, but if you haven't read the manga you wont miss what you don't know exists. I'd say you'd be better off checking out the OVA and if you liked it check out the new series and/or the manga. Hell it's worth watching the original just for the D'arby episode alone.

This week, everyone's part of the Investigation Team!
Backstory, backstory, backstory, oh boy! It also I guess gave focus to the other other guys in the harem. So there's your moment to shine.
Also, what tournament?
Sadly, yes.

I guess you could make a case for both stances. If you don't know what you missed, that might not hamper the experience.

I assume you mean the original 1978 series? I broadly agree with the points you've raised - the original series is surprisingly boring and flat. It's pretty interesting that it managed to influence a whole generation of anime creators considering how poorly it's stood the test of time.
Geez, no wonder they use so much CGI. Their artists have no clue how classical perspective works.
So once again I've got to wonder, what's going to happen to Sket Dance which is in that timeslot right now? Will it get moved, or is it done for?
dakkumauji
Member
Maybe it'll do what Gintama has been doing and take some time off and they'll just rotate.
Though, don't even think that Sket Dance is in any danger of catching up with the manga based off what I seen in this thread and what I read.

Interesting that you should say this. I haven't watched many shoujo anime, but the few ones I've tried haven't generally given me that impression - I mean, Lovely Complex doesn't have amazing animation or anything but it still has a lot of charm and character. The only shoujo show I've tried and thought the production values were too low to be enjoyable was Bokura ga Ita (ironically an Akitarou Daichi work).

It's all part of the show's charm!
