Sailor Moon Rough 87
Oh hay Naru showed up again. She might have a hunch on the Senshi's identities. To this day, there has been two assholes who were assholes until the moment they died.
Demando gets killed off after realizing he's being tricked after attempting to kiss rape Sailor Moon again. Black Lady has full power now, and will use Gospel Tracks at maximum volume to bring the world on the Soul Train. At least there's plenty of Soul Food to go around.

Guys, say its your birthday directly, I can't cope wih all this subtetly!
Happy Birthday to chickdigger802 & Shard!
Straight bangs everywhere on this series, the perils of leaving character design to Sushio!
I always saw him professing admiration for AKIRA on his profile, but didn't remember the 'pattun' hair-style part... I like his taste! Hoping KILL la KILL leaves him again with enough time for some more MCZ illustrations...
I think we're getting close in the US at least of having most shows available within a reasonable time frame online. If I can't straight up stream it the next day, like say the Colbert Report, I can at least buy it on iTunes. HBO shows are an exception, but they at least have a good reason for it. The time is closing in, though, where the money they get for offering HBO GO as an available subscription service can make up for the money cable companies would hold back if they did do that. Honestly, HBO is really the last big hold out for availability online at least for US citizens.
The biggest problem I've been having is with overseas stuff. A lot of great live-action stuff from Britain and Japan is either not available for some time (Top Gear, Sherlock) or is just never made available at all outside maybe a few episode DVD release (Game Center CX, Sentai, Kamen Rider, Black Mirror). The fact that BBC stuff is still not made available is especially sad to me. They don't even need to translate it. They could just put it up for sale or put up some subscription service, and I'd buy it.

Gatchman Crowds - 4
The story moves forward and to interesting places, but to be honest, this episode wasn't as good as I hoped. The direction felt weird, with sudden scene changes, and truncated flow. Also, in this episode I noticed much more the production problems (lots of derp faces etc)

The crowds are materialized souls of people, interesting. I wonder if they are concious of their use or for the users it's all invisible. The pillar hold alone enough time, the rope thrown into the air just happened to be aimed accurately, etc. Also, lots of interesting character reveals, the enemy Berg-Katze, O.D and his mysterious forbidden powers, Pai-Pai lost his best friend, Utsu-chan have cloning powers and energy-drain touch, etc.
And is Flame-kun to die already?

Just saw pacific rim ( it was great )
2 anime-related questions however :
1) Attack on titans
2) Anime studio retaled question
ps: giant robots are cool
2 anime-related questions however :
1) Attack on titans
Why the heck do they have with walls ? Why do they think that attacked by a giant, creating a wall is the best option ? Are the people in charge dumb on purpose ? It's not like you have to think about it too much a wall doesn't have move , vulnerable to time , vulnerable to any structure defect , not to mention the freaking costs !
Seriously walls are bad, especially when it's used as a defense mecanism against giant creatures !

2) Anime studio retaled question
Give me a freaking side story during the 10 years of the kaiju fight featuring any team you want , as long as it's beautifully animated...
Seriously i want more over the top fights

I'm still watching. I enjoy the show.KKK 4
I think I'm the only one watching this at this point. And yeah, the meta humour is still there in a very blaise manner:
But something magical happened in the last 5 minutes of the episode. It went from manzai humour to rakugo humour to basically becoming an anime inspired version of the scene from. picture here!Space Balls where the characters watch the home video version of the show that they are on
And the big punchline that comes about caught me off guard enough that I actually laughed, which is nigh impossible for me when it comes to TV comedies these days. Good times.
Yeah that part of the story really makes no sense at all.

Well then.... I'm surprised there's one more episode of R left considering how it ended right now. I mean the day is saved thanks to the Sailor Puff Scouts
Weeeeird way to end this, but I guess we'll see what the last episode is aboot.

Chibiusa is no longer sexy, she's back in the future and half the bad guys died.

That's four!
Well, I'll address this all in one post.
BBC needs to sell to PBS and BBC America. That's just the old model sticking around - in the same way that Australians used to be the biggest TV pirates in the world because it took so long for American shows to get bought by local networks and the studios make more money licensing to the networks than if they sold the shows directly to people.
It will take a fundamental shift in how we view global markets, but I don't know if we'll ever get there. We still have Bluray regions. We still have region locked Nintendo consoles. We still have region specific iTunes stores. Hell, even Steam is different depending on which country you live in, with people in Germany not able to buy certain games because of content laws. Media companies, for whatever reason, want to lock everything down to protect their local fiefdoms. It just depends on how long they will continue to try to struggle against the growing trend of globalization.
To your first point, that's certainly a weak point in the story. I guess I kind of think about it like this.
Humanity is losing. The best hope of an offensive strategy is perceived by the rich and influential as a waste of time. In order to pacify those that the bureaucrats care about, they've built a fortress for them to live in. They clearly don't care about what happens to the poorer people who don't live behind the wall. Just look at what the "shelters" in hong kong were like.
It's going to take a big player making a big move in order to demonstrate to the rest the value of direct sales to global markets. Something like Netflix getting a Game of Thrones level world-wide hit that pushes a major number or subscriptions or HBO opening up GO to the world through an online subscription. I think both are possible, but not for quite some time. We're talking 5 years out at the very least.
Gatachaman Crowds Episode 4: It is astounding how much is compacted into each episode of this series as we have learned the true nature of the CROWDS, the intentions of Rui and Berg-Katze, the grips that GALAX is asserting over the populace and we learn a thing or two about OD and Utsu. Indeed seems like a real confrontation is brewing for the next episode, of which survivability is in doubt.

Sailor Moon Rough 89 END
I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF! ITS A FUCKING RECAP EPISODE! WITH NEW SCENES.
Anyway, Sailor Moon Rough was certainly rough for some time, especially at the beginning with its filler arc, and Mamoru being a douchebag didn't really help it as well.
Although once we started dealing with
the quality for R has risen and made the rest of the ride rather enjoyable. There was a shit ton of panties to scope out on top of leotard peeks that makes this season very lewd in showing off goods, although it's odd that CHibiUnitedStatesofAmerica got the brunt of them.
Anyway, Minako certainly got a raise in points for her nursing episode, and everyone else stayed the same. We have the movie the watch and then we start Sailor Moon Sexy/Spinning!

It's that blue dress. It produces pantyshots even when the camera is above her waist.
Minako's HAX Meter is now full. Brace yourself.
Oh, and you're now in pure Ikuhara territory.
Given the sheer amazing that is Bebop, I can't really blame you. It's so good I want to write crazy long reviews every time I watch it again.

Well, episode 1 was especially good!
Twelve Kingdoms then Ippo. Don't bother with Soul Eater
Happy birthday Chickdigger and Shard. This month will be a month of birthdays it seems; another (confirmed) 7 in August.
Did someone call
Not true. Novid posts are SPECIAL no matter what avatar he uses.
Black Lady is one of the first anime characters I tried to draw, along with Utena and Sailor V.
She really does. and her voice. Oh my god THAT VOICE.
Sorry I have been kind of out of it lately.
Happy birthday dude *hugs Cdig

So umm... ummm.... "subtext"? "innuendos"? Like... what?
Making weird ass metaphors for fapping/schlicking? And they're... anthropomorphic guns?
What? I don't understand, I thought them being guns was a metaphor but it isn't, I don't understand.
They even have weird names that I probably won't ever recall D:

There aren't many shows as fun to overanalyze as Cowboy Bebop. For all it's approachability, it's damn subtle about many of its conveyances. The perfect storm, IMO.
Yeah, the voice is kinda orgasmic, everyone's is, truth be told. The VA is top notch, and actually the core reason I hope this adaptation ties everything up (long shot, I know, but they're moving FAST). The manga wouldn't be the same experience at all.
Galaxy Express 999? Is it worth watching. I've read it's over 100 episodes long.

Didn't come out in England because the emergency services have copyright over the number 999.

It's also a Xebec show so it has some interesting "LOL LOOK AT US MAKING REFERENCES" humour. (same season as Nyaruko to boot)

unbelievable how Klein survived, what even, the Ceres laser or whatever was hyped up to be some amazing weapon that even left a huge mark on the landscape and he got out unscathed. Their technology must be several generations superior.

Yuru Yuri makes a reference to it so you're pretty much obliged to watch it.
I'm sorry you haven't played 999 yet.
