Considering Yu has been using Izanagi for pretty much the entire run even against the final boss, I bet they were picking what Personas he would be summoning at random.
Izanagi was basically Pikachu, wasn't he.

Natsuyuki Rendezvous 01
It took me about eight hours to watch the whole episode, but I liked it! Had no clue what I was getting into to, just saw folks talking about it on IRC. I expected some sort of shojo stuff I wouldn't enjoy as soon as I started watching but that wasn't what I got. It ended up being very cute, I think I'll keep watching.

LiSa-OP singer
Rikiya Koyama-Kiritsugu VA
Hikaru Kondo-Producer/Storyboarder

Gen Urobuchi-Creator(Signed it twice and personalized it the second time)
so there's like one month left in the season...
still watching:
Hyouka: Mayaka > Chitando
Eureka Seven Ao: in it till the end; fuck naru; I just hope it doesn't end like DtB s2.
Natsuyuki Rendezvous: I really do like this show. Well produced with lovely direction by Matsuo. It knows when to linger and when to interject with a dose of humor, but the recent episodes have felt somewhat ponderous, with too much FEELS just colliding into each other as Shimao murks about in his existential haze. I think the conclusion should be satisfying, in that it'll be conclusive . . . not sure if any of them will end up as happy individuals.
Joshiraku: I still have mixed feelings about the show. Love the physical comedy, impeccable timing complementing all the lewdness and the naked Mariiservice. There's still a bit too much where I just don't get it, though. I feel like a fucking barbarian when that happens. I have no culture.
Accel World: I really don't know.
will get back to at some point in time:
Quality has Declined: haven't really felt the urge the go back after episode 5, but favorable impressions for the recent episode has gotten me to pick it back up.
Binbougami-ga: I enjoyed the few I watched, didn't love them but in it for Boobieko. Best bitch is best bitch. Will watch once it's over.
Moyashimon Returns: still haven't checked it out yet, but will due to my residual appreciation for the original series.
fuckin' dropped:
ODA NOBUNA
SWORD ART ONLINE

I thought Cameron was a fan of Alita.
Not bad. Koto backstory + OMG AKIRA ISHIDA. Aural sex in my ears.
I don't believe you.
Based on his summary of the story, he clearly doesn't know shit about the series. I'm guessing he saw the Manga Video tape and a few pictures from the Motor Ball arc a long time ago and only has hazy memories of it all.
The guy was actually impressed when their scenarist told them that there were "more books". Dude, really? Wow, she knows so much! Maybe she looked the title up on Wikipedia, imagine the level of commitment!
I seem to remember his first comment on the adaptation was that he would get to paste a human face on a CG mechanical body. Kick ass! Of course, that was years before Avatar. No need for that tech demo anymore, now, I guess.
Kono Naka Ni Hitori, Imouto Ga Iru! 8
The episode starts with
Other than that it's another girl to fall in love with him.
I think I figured out who the sister is.
The episode starts with
the guy having to measure one of the girls skirt to see it's illegal. While he tries to do it, she says don't look up my skirt. Another girls shows up and gets jealous and they battle to see who has the shortest skirt.
I think I figured out who the sister is.
it's the student council assistant (the girl with the orange hair and in pigtails). She just stands out and the only one who isn't trying to get him

Oh no! CG monsters! Again.
Yeah, staying in whatever world they are in is getting boring. Especially with the weird and ugly backgrounds that looks like stains in the upper left and lower right corners of every scene.
I feel no investment really anymore for whatever plot is going on.

Oh damn, that sounds like he wouldn't be doing it justice at all. Hope he's educated himself by now, but I doubt it. Motor Ball arc isn't even the best one.

Jojo TV anime character designs. You can see both the younger and older versions of the main characters. Not bad at all.

Ah man... there's one part in Part 1 I hope they don't include in the anime...
Really looking forward to this.

Muv-Luv - This is probably the most reliably pleasing show that I'm watching. This probably says a lot about many things.
Meh Tier
Binbougami - Fun when it's not boring
My Grandpa Tier
SAO - Will continue to love and sing the praises of even when it's shitting the bed and making me hate it.
Woof woof.

They look nice, but it's also difficult to believe they'll actually look like that in motion.
About Gally/Alita: "I just love the character. Maybe it’s from having daughters. I have three daughters, and thinking about what it’s like, the main character is this little girl that everybody kind of ignores. She’s got such a heroic heart on the inside, I’ve always loved that character."
And that was after he rewrote the script. Encouraging!
But it's all about the High-Octane 3D Action!
I seem to remember that when Kishiro was asked who he could see turning his series into a movie, he answered "Paul Verhoeven". That, I could see.
Maybe there won't be any motion.
JoJo's Bizarre Picture Drama?

Was it the DOTA2 thread that did Tomat in?

Unless they are made by PA Works, then they are kind of rough.
Does that have something to do with why cosmic said I wouldn't like it?Woof woof.
Modern Cameron?
If I didn't know better, I'd think this was a joke in regards to his writing.

Damn it, that was a good arc.

It still hurts.
I'm personally not really big on the whole list wars thing but I guess since I've never posted it before, to those whom it may interest, here is my list of shows that I've been following and I've dropped none:
Binbougami ga!
Hyouka
Joshiraku
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon II
Natsuyuki Rendezvous
Oda Nobuna no Yabou
Rinne no Lagrange Season 2
Saint Seiya Omega
Smile Precure!

Those design should give hope to the Shounen Empero
TBH the design isn't far off from thing like Toriko, n the design from the childhood is pretty simple.

I guess Mid-Summer Status Update:
Shows that I eagerly await the next episode:
Horizon II: Action debates have never been so fun.
Hyouka: All that KyoAni magic makes this so enjoyable.
Poyopoyo: Roundcat forever.
I generally enjoy what has been going on:
Binbougami ga!: Good comedy but the dramatic moments are pretty boring.
Jinrui: The fairies still the show.
Joshiraku: Kanji puns are great as well as random violence.
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate: Somewhat generic yet still entertaining.
Kuroko's Basketball: The comedy keeps me watching.
Natsuyuki: All my feels.
Nobuna: I want to see how the next Sengoku general gets genderbent.
Tari Tari: GLEE made watchable.
Hits and misses, so completely average:
Arcana Famiglia: Part-time mobsters without the action makes boring otome show.
Campione!: Harem antics are boring. Wikipedia battles are much better.
Naruto SD: Hit and miss comedy.
Sengoku Collection: Not a train wreck but still sometimes boring.
Losing my interest:
So I Can't H?: Ugly filter, CG monsters, OHKO battles.
I rather play Pokemon instead and I usually do:
Accel World: Shut up real world.
Sword Art Online: Shut up MMO world.

I don't think it needs one in the first place, but Hollywood doesn't care, apparently.

How you liking part 3? Quite a lot of.... that in it.

you just never get tired of that 'resolution harmonica' track. Shit is soo good.

I said you wouldn't like it because I was pretty sure you don't like endless shounens.

Pretty true. Sure it was annoying a little in, but after a while, it's basically akin to all my feels while watching Gintama.

It's definitely more worthy than another Avatar.
But it isn't endless. Jojo is actually the least endless of any long running shounen! When story arcs end, they end, and the next one starts with completely new characters!

Something i've been wondering lately.
Why do most toku/anime games always have insanely long super move animations? I know it's all fanservice, but when your special animation takes up about 30 secs and the fight lasts a total of about 1.5 min....
Didn't those naruto ps2 game specials even have loading?
Crazy. you'd think folks that would pick up an anime fighter... ah. nvm.

Just because there are good stopping points doesn't mean it isn't endless. The story still continues and ties into the previous parts. Even if Araki is making it up as he goes along and forgets vital plot points, it's still a long-running work with an overarching plot.
I don't know what you arguing here.

So wait, this is an adaptation of a shounen manga, but they made the plotline "to have a shoujo manga beat a shounen manga", and then they talked about the themes of the shoujo manga beating the shounen manga all while utilizing standard shounen themes and then having it end in the most shounen way possible.
My brain hurts.
Oh shit, it's Ninja Warrior!
