[Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon SuperS] movie about fairies and black holes and I don't even know
Skippable.
This was bad. The Precurest of them all, even. Like, take away all the strong direction of R's, or the touching story about Luna in S', and instead replace it with a bunch of items on a checklist including introducing all the Outer Senshi in the middle of the movie just because. It feels like a bunch of set pieces stitched together with barely any rhyme between them. I can only imagine the disappointment in theaters seeing how this was preceded by the Ami short.
Skippable.
Episode 105.SAILOR MOON GAF!
Anyone know what ep this is from?
The manga art are awful, so little improvement make it obvious.

105
Err.. I thought most teaser does that. For sake revealing "info" time to time, many of them not even have their own domain.
Greatest season ever!!
Nice. Looking forward to it. At the very least it'll be pretty as hell.
Can't wait for Fall.
Looking at Hanada's past works, he seems kinda hit or miss but I have faith in Ishidate. It's going to be like Yamada Naoko or Utsumi Hiroko getting bumped up only the genre is robots this time around.
The summary sounds like generic LN tripe but it has potential to be opened up depending on the execution.

Hmmm. I've liked pretty much all the art for Kyokai no Kanata until now, but I HATE that new key art.
I can't quite explain why but it just seems very unnatural to me, like no thought has gone into the actual composition - I don't believe that the characters are actually "there", if you know what I mean?
Plus holding a sword like that just looks kind of funny.

Why not? Its times like these, with a new KyoAni project being announced, that we should always dream of greatness. Crushing disappointment might follow most of the time but that should never dissuade us.

Sounds like par for the course as far as post-Hyouka KyoAni goes! Amirite?!
Tamako was well-made!

It's a generic LN, pretty much. Some guy posted this on animesuki:
So not really worth going out my way to see. I assume I'd also need to watch previous episodes as well. I forgot about watching it around episode 11 if I recall, ended with Jager Bomb
turning into a titan and punching his female friend
You could probably watch it and not be too far out of the loop if you just want to see that particular ep.
If Studio DEEN's works looked many more times as lively animated as this:
わーなびっ.ｊｋ プロモーション動画 - YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiDCUgBhKmg
... I wouldn't ever have a problem with them!
Outside of the basic studio's culture, the people responsible of a project can assemble a staff around it that doesn't makes them that dependent of such culture after all. As hosannainexcelsis also implied, I think producers (outsider ones, sometimes) and directors are what ultimately define a product's way.
The 'JIS Mark' (http://www.jisc.go.jp/eng/jis-mark/newjis-eng.html), this mark image is new and the old one may still be more recognizable, as has been present in many products made for both 'JDM' and export markets.
Fans of fixed-gear bicycles (or 'fixies') may recognize a similar symbol on 'Keirin' approved products/spares, the 'NJS Mark' authorized by the Japanese Keirin Association, that is very respected worldwide because of its abnormally strict parameters of quality control and specific requirements in manufacturing.
I was expecting Chise Kamoi as chief AD in her return to TV series work! Some rumors at the beginning mentioned a Mr. Ishidate & Ms. Kamoi 'combi' based on all the PV derived speculation.
Welp, I'll give this Kyokai no Kanata a try, hopefully It won't be boring as Hyouka.
Sounds like a rpg. Oh well, not that there is much to expect from a LN.

That key art already looks over processed.
KyoAni will only be able to make something good again when Takemoto returns as chief director.

It was a well-made insomnia cure. The sad truth is that Free! is KyoAni's 2nd best show post K-On!! KnK fits in perfectly with everything non-Hyouka related that they've done recently.

Character Design: Miku Kadowaki
Art Director: Mikiko Watanabe

A great example of all five girls playing off of each other well with fun scenarios and funny jokes. Maki~
Silver Spoon - 4
I really like the premise of so many people at the school working together to make pizza for the first time. It reminds me of that episode from Hey Arnold! where the group tries to make the world's biggest pizza puff. Regardless, it was a nice episode, and I can imagine that this is what the manga must be like.
Uchouten Kazoku - 5
Every episode continues to amaze me at how consistently good this show looks. I really hope Yoshihara continues to storyboard as much of the show as possible.
Gatchaman Crowds - 2-4
Finally caught up with this, and I kinda wish I didn't. It's clear to me that it's trying to make a statement about the reliance on social media and while that could be interesting in theory, it's hampered by the rest of this mess. My biggest problem with it is that I just can't get into how sporadic and strangely paced the dialogue is. It's very annoying to me. The fight scenes are short and nearly incomprehensible too. But at least the music is really nice.
There also seems to be an issue with budget and rushed production which is featured prominently in episode 3 with the mop pole not going over Sugune's face, missing phones in backgrounds, the dogpile scene, etc etc. I'm even at odds with some of the layouts like this one in episode 4 where Hajime and Utsu-tsu are so far away that it makes it hard to see where they are at first glance. What makes it worse is that their character design coloring blends in with the background coloring as well. The only thing I can take away from that shot and the one at the bench is that they were done that way for budget reasons.
I gave Crowds more than a fair shake, but I'm simply not enjoying it. Dropped.

All 3 most broken character in the last 2 seasons are in.
A kaito , rook , freecell team is gonna rock but would be foolish enough to anger those 3 ?

i dont know why i got off phi brain after like half a season. it ended up being more about the scifi nonsense than puzzles or what not.

The identity is clearer in the anime than in the manga, I could distinguish clearly the face features in the Titan version in the anime, and of course the blond hair is also more visible in the anime than in the manga.

Phi brain is more about the setting and looking cool while solving things than the actual solving.
They also got a better hold of the world setting and rules in S2

Bought.
Earlier he tweeted he was working on an "action series" which was retweeted by Yoshida (who seems to be working on it as well). Now he specifies that he's working on an episode of a "silly scifi action series". So it definitely sounds like Space Dandy... as opposed to Kill la Kill... hmmm.
Its time for SonyNet to start between PS4's arrival and next summer.
Netflix and Amazon is on a fucking pile of sand and its starting to cave bit by bit.
Crunchyroll (I heard from a few folks) is being propped by Sentai Filmworks and one other distributor. They saw some sort of financial and they started crying.

He wasn't set to work on kill la kill. He was doing the wrestling short kickstarter.
