Don't worry, you won't have to actually watch it. Just replace the nouns from the Kanon/Clannad/Angel Beats reviews and you'll be set.

I don't think that'll work for Little Busters as the premise is arguably the most hilarious one yet.

Exact run times for the Madoka movies are out.

Movie 1 = 130mins
Movie 2 = 109mins

Damn, almost as long as the TV series.

Branduil said:
239 minutes; I assume that includes credits. I'd estimate the TV series is about 280-290 minutes, but that includes OP and ED sequences, so they shouldn't actually have to trim all that much to fit those running times. Of course if they're inserting new material they'll have to remove a little bit more.

I don't think all the redrawn scenes are gonna make that of an impact on the overall runtime. :>

For anyone wondering, this is actually from their Texhnolyze review that went up yesterday.

Oh, and here's their actual grade/comments for their Sword Art Online episode 1-6 review:
Click to expand...
Overall (sub) : B-
Story : C+
Animation : B
Art : B
Music : B

+ Cool exploration of game mechanics, interesting (if plot hole-ridden) concept.
− Multiple early side stories foster impatience, Kirito isn't that interesting on his own.

That seems suspiciously reasonable to me.

edit: I read the Texhnolyze review. I really think something went horribly awry when I watched the series, because other than
the last few episodes
I found the show to have a lot of hopeful excitement.

I'm conflicted. I liked the conclusion, but not the story. The various touches of the last 2 episodes weren't bad
with the 3 not really parting ways in the end, as they are all still part of the club, only on a bigger scale now
, especially in the ending one, but stuff like the laughable reason for starting all that shit is really off-putting. It's not even a simple wanting to watch the world burn, which would have been a way better reason imo.
On the bright side, Madoka was a cool MC personality wise. Mostly always positive, hard working and with so much game she gets all the girls. Many male protagonists should learn from her.

Most of LB feels like Jun Maeda and Key simply made a laundry list of unused gimmicks or stories that they couldn't make work in VNs of their own, and shoved them into LB. It desperately needs the Clannad anime treatment, where the studio trims the fat on just about all of the extraneous stuff and tries to make it all flow together smoothly. And the twist, well yeah, it's probably the most hilarious one Key has done, even if it is something that fits into their standard formula.

Horizon's success makes me giddy, as that means they will probably keep making new seasons for me to watch and enjoy.
