Is...is that guy jerking it?
Someday... Someday I'll actually be able to purchase the dvds/blu-rays I want...
Probably Move Naruto or One Piece into the Lead slot. Most Likely One Piece. Still, its a consistant draw, losing one of those will hurt.
I'm afraid to ask if the censor was originally there or added. Or, actually, any sort of context.

Eh, KnK certainly isn't KyoAni 'going to war.' Wake me up when Takemoto returneth.
Insert 'lolshaft' here.

Nor any legs to stand on.
What could they possibly do to wash away the shit that was E7AO?
Other than releasing an OVA series in which each and every one of the people responsible for that series came to my house and told me to my face how sorry they were for it and that it was all a fever dream that Master Norb had on the Gekko.

Being really tired + an episode centered around Japanese stories I'm not familiar with is a terrible combination. But the
and
references were funny, at least.
Pretty boring episode if you're not well-versed in Japanese literature.

I don't understand this reasoning. So Bones produced a show that in your eyes failed to deliver in such a way that you will never consider anything they produce in the future worthy of attention, no matter the quality?
What happened with just enjoying things on a case by case basis?
I'm pretty sure that E7AO failed to deliver in an empirical, objective sense and not just "in my eyes."
Bones lost its credibility before E7:AO. FMA Brotherhood was probably the last good thing they ever did.

No, Jinsei Best Ten is the last good thing BONES has done. (And Milos before that.)
^ and Jinsei Best Ten was good, too. It feels weird having to cherry pick their output since most of it is so bad after 2007, but they still have some of the most talented folks in the industry left.
Not a big fan of Brohood, but Star of Milos was 2011, and it was excellent.

Fuck, I still need to see this.
I think that's what it is. I mean, I'm not expecting every work to be a peach but worthwhile productions seem far and few between now. I guess Star Driver was least nice to look at during the higher-production episodes.
I had hopes for E7AO at first, as do I with Space Dandy. I hope to be pleasantly surprised this weekend in fact.

Just watched Pacific Rim. Wow. A long time since I had this much fun in a movie. Dat action. Why is this not printing money?

Bones has lost all their credibility in the last three to four years. AO is just the perfect show to use as the face for how far Bones has fallen, but there's a whole line of terrible Bones shows which lead up to AO.

And it should be noted that with Space Dandy there's going to be a fair number of freelancers and people who haven't worked with BONES for a while or at all - Shinichiro Watanabe himself, of course, but also people like Yuasa, Romain, Bahi. It's not just going to be the usual studio crowd.
I think Takemoto is doing ep8 of Free.

I hadn't been able to watch this show in a while, which I was pretty all right with, seeing as how I wasn't sure I was liking where this thing with Sakura and Yukito and Shaoran was going. But today I was able to start again, and all I can say is...
...
;__;
Very well handled imo. I wish they could have delved a little more into Sakura's feelings for Yukito being like those for her father. I know what he meant by that, but she didn't act like that was the case, I guess because she's young and didn't understand her own feelings. There was that part at the end where she said the feelings were a tad different, so I think that means she views him more like an older brother, which I think is what Yukito always wanted because of his relationship with Toya., That aside, this was a great episode and it leaves the path clear. I think after that ending, even she understands. Maybe.

Not a fan of pineapple as a pizza topping, but I can't take complaints about it seriously when the same pizza has fish on it. Ewwwwwwww. I can't stand fish in general, but putting it on a pizza is basically heresy.
Also, I noticed Gou was sneakily wearing a swimsuit briefly this episode. Is that the first time we've actually seen her in one? I haven't been paying all that much attention.

The question was mostly to CorvoSol (although I do understand that a lot of others share his sentiments), hence why I mentioned AO.
I'm not extremely industry savvy when it comes to anime (even though I try to keep up, because it is interesting), so I don't know who has come and gone among Bones employees or those they regularly collaborate with, but I'll never neglect the possibility of a comeback at least. I'm even optimistic about Aoki Uru!
I guess I just don't like to think about things negatively in general. It's more fun imo to consider the potential of things. So if someone pitches an interesting idea or concept then I'm all ears in most cases.

Wait what did the pizza in Free have on top of it (and Silver Spoon while we're at it)
Silver Spoon had Gouda cheese, vegetables and bacon.
If Dai Sato and Watanabe fuck up then burn the studio down, nothing of worth will ever come from there this point forward.
KnK is probably going to be their most action intense series and one where atmosphere is going to be key. If they want it to stand out, they're gonna have to bring their A game.
As for Shaft, we get the rest of Monogatari and then glorious Madoka Pt.3.
The animation in Milos was topnotch. Problem is the story isn't and pretty much rehashes a good chunk from the series itself.

Sounds delicious, although I don't remember if I had Gouda cheese.
Gouda is excellent. If you haven't had it before, do so.

While it will be KyoAni's first action series since The Second Raid, that's no reason to expect it to be executed on the same level as Hyouka, or Nichijou for that matter. The main staff are mostly new to the roles they're playing. What Ishidate is capable of when in charge of series direction is uncertain, and it's difficult for me to believe that KyoAni is going to invest substantially more resources into it then they have their other in-house LN adaptations.
I don't expect anything exceptional production-wise from either of those. Shaft isn't what it used to be.
I really liked the setting and scenario Milos set up. The ending had some problems, but I still prefer it to Brotherhood's ending, which had somewhat similar problems only over a longer time span.
Fuck. Doesn't he have better things to do?
Takemoto storyboards and/or directs at least one episode for pretty much every KyoAni show. The big people at the studio pitch in in that way. It doesn't preclude him from preparing the next series he'll be directing.
They've gone from cup ramen to real ramen with that Madoka and Bakemonogatari money.
Looking forward to Hyouka: The After Years.

Doesn't Syfy still have the rights?
I seem to recall IGPX being one of the largest flops in anime history.
Does anyone actually watch that?
My continue support of anime.
Congrats! Nice choices.
What shows do you like on bluray?
Yeah its one of the most fun movies Ive seen in a while.

I guess we'll find out this Fall whether that's a good thing.
He wasn't joking about the Scifi part. I wasn't expecting aliens.
Man if we can get an anime version of Treasure Planet or a less serious Titan AE...

This show is getting creepier and darker every episode. I feel like I might go insane before this series ends. That backstory involving the Prince and Utena. Oh god.
I remember the happier times where I could watch a fleet of elephants attempting to end Nanami's life. Those were simpler times.
