Just wait till the inevitable crossover.

Too late

Hyouka - Episode 21

Wow. There are no words. That was so good. I can admit when I've been owned, so I'll go ahead and say that Hyouka ended up being completely the opposite of what I expected. While the early parts of the series were unevenly paced and boring, it was also a reflection of how we're less likely to accept or appreciate just wasting time with people when we don't really know them or don't care for them. But given the time to slowly watch a small group of characters develop and grow over a series really pays off in the end when the direction of the story winds down into more personal reflections and events.

I can't wait to see how the main relationship in the series concludes next week. I never thought I would say that! >_<

Spoiler

Mayaka is still Best Girl, Erutards can suck it!!!

I never stopped believing in you, Hyouka.

I won't bore everyone with my opinions of price again. I'll just say £100 is too much. £49.99 would have probably been pushing it.

Gundam? Yeah, I've watched a bit of that.


What the world needs is a "Galactic Merchant Fleet Robot! Kaien!" anime. Seriously, a giant robot which wears a tie? Classy.

 

[Joe Molotov]

The amount of people who haven't seen G Gundam in here is depressing. What are you guys doing with your lives? Whatever it is I can assure you its not more important than watching G Gundam.

I watched G Gundam and Zeta Gundam last summer for the first time. Best summer ever.

I can't believe it's taken me so long to get around to watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BevPFBmOdig&feature=youtu.be

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Gundam confession: The only Gundam shows I've watched to completion are the original 0079 and Gundam Seed/Destiny.

I had only watched G & Wing completely until a month or 2 ago when I started to go through all of them.

 

[Articalys]

Aniplex USA put up a trailer for the Bakemonogatari BD (yet the trailer's only in 360p, whatever) and the main site is now live:

http://www.aniplexusa.com/bakemonogatari/

Looks like they're also going to start streaming it weekly on Crunchyroll and Hulu, starting this Friday. Regional restrictions will probably be in place.

They also romanized her name as "Senjyogahara", if you care about that sort of thing.

Worst to first, definitely a good end to your summer.

 

[Jex]

The only Gundam shows I've watched to completion is....none >_>

Well most them are like, fifty episodes long, so that's fair enough. I suppose.

 

[Branduil]

Pretty rad.

Well, at least you chose the right brand of root beer.

Watch G. Do it. Do it.

Yeah that was a great speech. I already knew most of that but the guy was fun to listen to.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

OH MY GOD.
SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

Is it really worth watching? I wonder what they will include with SAO and if it will be in half sets.

Someone mentioned Suncoast a few pages back. I just want to say I paid $170 for my special edition boxset of Tenchi Muyo OVA back in the day, Adjust that for inflation and you have a steal at these prices for a 16 episode boxset.

Spoiler

...if you're crazy! You can get 52 episode boxsets for half this price... they must be smoking crack!

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

The only Gundam shows I've watched to completion is....none >_>

Watch 0080 its really good and only six episodes.

 

[PdotMichael]

The trailer is a little spoilerish imo

but fuck! I need to rewatch Bakemonogatari, now!

Well, some of these are the same people who bought F/Z at more than double this price, so I can't really trust them. >.>

These do not seem like very good subs.

Jonathan Clements is a regular guest on the Manga UK podcast, coincidently, which is regularly worth a listen just for the sporadic nuggets of industry and licensing workings they drop.

Suncoast was life. I paid those prices, AND I LIKED IT.

Bakemonogatari is probably not something you would personally enjoy much to be honest.
I think SAO would probably be sold in two sets to milk it as much as possible. It seems rather popular.

 

[RurouniZel]

Watch G. Do it. Do it.

You too Cajun. The both of you must know of Schwarz Moe.

I'll add to my list.

Fuck, ever since that Imouto / Dr. Seuss font comparison I can't stop thinking of verses.

"I took in a whiff of my sis's laundry
Which for me created an unexpected quandary
For the little sister I dote on so fondly
Now wore panties that smell oddly"

 

[Ezalc]

You should write a book Rurouni.

Truth right here. Only piss drinkers and sonic fanfic writers enjoy G Gundam.

You're batting a thousand with these!

I feel like only people with a stick up their ass dislike it. Sure it's not like the other Gundam shows, but that was the point. It's supposed to be dumb fun and I feel like everybody who hates it went in expecting some super serious political drama or something.

[Jex]

Yeah that was a great speech. I already knew most of that but the guy was fun to listen to.

Ah, your knowledge must far surpass mine then. I didn't know that Osamu Tezuka lied about how much anime cost in an attempt to destroy the competition, or that he got Astro Boy on American TV 8 months after it aired in America, or that American companies demanded that animals shouldn't be naked in his shows, or that Stanley Kubrick offered Tezuka a job.

 

[BluWacky]

Fuck, ever since that Imouto / Dr. Seuss font comparison I can't stop thinking of verses.

I should not want her, so they say
I should not want her in that way
I should not want her in my head
I should not want her in my bed

I wasn't expecting a boring super robot show about head squeezing with remarkably unlikeable characters, but that's what I got.

 

[RurouniZel]

You're batting a thousand with these!

Thanks! I better stop thinking of verses though or I really will end up writing "Dr. Seuss' Little Sis Miss Krys's Ultimate Diss!"

I should not want her, so they say

I should not want her in my head
I should not want her in my bed

Brilliant!

Haha, I remember buying Tenchi Muyo: The Movie on VHS for $30 at Suncoast. Them and Camelot where my go-to places for shitty overpriced anime. You ain't gonna find a copy of Urotsukidoji at Wal-Mart, my friend.

For whatever reason I've never listened to their podcast. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

A few of those things are in some books my roommate has about the history of anime.
One of the few sorts of books I will actually read.

But you CAN currently find it at an F.Y.E. in Lafayette, La.

 

[Ryuukan]

Just go ahead and punch me, Domon-style.

 

[RurouniZel]

The more I think of sis, the more I despair,
At how my feelings just aren't fair
The stories that TV anime air
Are far more than I would dare.

 

[Kazzy]

For whatever reason I've never listened to their podcast. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

Ditto.

I've yet to fine one that I'd consider listening to on a regular basis. One day...

Camelot got bought out and turned into FYEs. They were basically the same kind of place.

You should really watch it. It's fun. MAL exploded too and it was hilarious. Do you have a link to the 4chan thread. I could go for a good SAO fanbase explosion right now.

I adored it but I can see where he's coming from. Sai Saici and the Russians were unlike able at the start and in general Domon vs the world was justified since everyone was a dick. I appreciated the cast better in the second half which also coincided with a softening to Domon's character.

Once again, you can never have too many 4koma anime adaptations. Today: Aiura.

An anime of Chama's Aiura four-panel manga is in the works. The story centers around Amaya, Iwasawa, and Uehara — three "annoying, spirited high school girls with zero motivation" — and their classmates. Their daily life is "what happens when there is nothing happening."
