It's not about the butts. In fact I could care less about the fan service because the art is so bad. The main character is just...I dunno...something else. The show is kind of over the top.
You guys racing to have the most posts.

It has been added to The List. I may check it out soon as the more I continue to procrastinate with Utena, the likelihood of me watching other anime increases.
I find it weird how the show is basically about fanservice but the art is just so plain.
The main character is the best thing about the show. It's pretty refreshing to see someone like him in anime.
When I looked back for it, it was related to review scores. I guess that makes sense.
In which case, it should be Where All the Waifus Are Made Up and the Posts Don't Matter.
Wait we're racing for points? Well damn. Narag is catching up. Gotta keep my count high!
You'd think I'd feel pride but nope, just shame.
Meh. I don't know what I feel anymore. Does points mean Asuna wins? Okay. Oh wait. Forgot. Obligatory KYH mention in picture form
NSFW? http://dalian.7thstyle.com/2012/08/accel-world-dengeki-g-festival-vol-28-001.jpg
Body pillow cover?
Dude. They made so many Dakis of KYH, I don't think it's funny. On a more serious note, if I didn't have pride, I would buy all of them. LOL.
This is an interesting suggestion!
Buy them with pride! She's KYH, man!
Posts matter. Unless it doesn't imprint my presence on to AnimeGAF for eternity. Then it doesn't matter.
No. I think Dakis are weird in general.
Does pride leave you only purchasing your waifu of choice?
Pride leaves me with me not doing anything that would embarass me in front of family and friends. Aka, I don't have the balls to not feel ashamed at having a Daki of anything.
Yeah they're pretty weird but I like seeing what they put on them. Buying is a whole different matter.
On a sidenote, I'd totally buy figures if I had lots of money.

Akatsuki never fails to deliver the douche.
In all seriousness, this whole test is starting to get damn tense. It's a cliche setup with the "something goes wrong during an exam" thing, but the way stuff functions thanks to the setting makes it pretty interesting. Someone fucking with the barrier to make the damage real instead of mental is a neat idea for this kind of thing.
It was also nice to see the student council get that smugness ripped off their face. Though I'm not sure why they thought they could take Akatsuki in the first place. Dude is broken as fuck.
Between all the fanservice, there's actually a lot to like about the show. The world is conceptually awesome and the main character is about as far from a standard harem protagonist as you can get.
On the other hand, the fanservice gets pretty close to porn at times, so yeah....

She's so awesome because she wants you to buy her daki! Give in to the cuteness! You will never escaaaaape!
T_T. Sorry. Can't.
She'll get you one day... Very soon.
Wow it's a southpark daki! What made them think this was a good idea?
Uh... isn't that like... NSFW.... or just not safe for life.
You added this in like it's a negative thing.

Hey, I'm just dispensing info here. I got no idea if someone considers it a positive or a negative.
Who's making it? Not that it really matters since Fall is basically here.
That's totally the worst waifu on there.

Winter outfit or bust.
You consider him that? Wow....
So, I guess I should actually say something about Ringing Bell.
This film was directed by Masami Hata, who I haven't heard of before, but he directed and storyboarded a number of things in the past, including Little Nemo. I really liked the way a lot of shots were framed, with thoughtful use made of depth and symbolic imagery. In addition, a really neat aspect was the use of the seasons as a framing device, and various shots of nature that signified them. Not only does this help to signify the passage of long periods of time in a film that's short on it, but it also functions as a way to establish a coherent world for the characters to inhabit; even more, you could say it indirectly touches on the themes of the work, which involve the circle of life and the inevitability of its progress in nature.
The background art is also really well done, and the animation is extremely expressive. I have to imagine some of the animators studied wild animals because there are sequences of very believable animal animation. I also really liked the way the
scene was animated with brief flashes of light and dark. It provided some very memorable and visceral imagery.
As for the story itself, see my previous post. If I saw this as a child I would be scarred for life. Actually I'm not sure the "as a child" phrase is necessary. The feeling of dread early on isn't something that would be out of place in a Disney film, but where it goes after that... I'm not sure this is a movie made for kids as much as a movie made to destroy them.
If I could make a complaint, it'd be about some of the more on-the-nose dialogue, but I guess that's a function of it being for kids.
Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go crawl into a corner and hug a blanket.

I guess the mad dash for |OT3| is about to begin in earnest.
Sorry Mad Pierrot, it seems we will be somewhere in |OT3| by the time I get an idea for a response and write it out!

They really should cancel the P3 movie and turn it into a full-blown series.
I wish. P3's story was so excellent.

I don't think a P3 adaptation would work as well with P4's shoestring budget given the more serious tone. A movie would allow them to concentrate their funds a little better, right?
edit: or is the implication that P4 is selling so well that they should be able to make a decently budgeted TV series for P3?

Yes, it would be produced by ufotable! It's not as if ufotable is working on Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA or anything! They have the spare time!

This is a bit ironic, actually. I keep putting off working on my response to Mad Pierrot because I want to make sure it's right.
