Sailor Moon Sexy/Spinning 113
Apparently the Outer Senshis revealed that they are in fact, Outer Senshi, who've been given more power for individual purposes to protect the outer solar system.
And we go visit Hotaru... and we get a startling reveal
Her house is full of creep factor. Not surprising considering the circumstances behind it, on top of her changed attitude upon holding Usagi's henshin brooch.
I wonder if Hotaru will get less frail though.

Space Dandy PV got me hyped. I'm literally watching Bebop on BD right now though, so that's probably helping.
sunrise can signalize my entire bank account if this isn't just words
e: I guess Space Dandy looks pretty okay too

15:23:43 <bay|Ota|Sunrise> Q: New gintama anime project with the popularity of the "final" movie?
15:23:58 <bay|Ota|Sunrise> A: At this point, we have to stick to staying it's the final movie
15:24:17 <bay|Ota|Sunrise> But the manga is still going and it is gintama after all, so who is to say
15:24:47 <bay|Ota|Sunrise> Realistically, it's up to how well the movie performs and how well the DVD sales are
15:25:15 <bay|Ota|Sunrise> And I have to believe that there are enough voices needing more gintama, i would personally like to answe them
Although I guess that's more of an expected "as long as it's popular and keeps making us money of course we'll consider making more of it" answer.

so good.
so good.
Glad that someone is finally picking up all the Sunrise stuff, since several of those old Bandai discs in my collection are starting to show their age by now.
No, Akito the Exiled is an 4-episode OVA/film series. Episode 2 comes out in Japanese theaters next month.

Dangranronpa The Animation 06
D'awwww, there goes my favorite character.
Even I had a good laugh when instead of animate looking through the hallways, they just decided to show MC moving on the main map.
I remember hearing this case was just messy so hey, maybe the anime will trim enough for everything to make sense.
Man, that cheerful ED pic. That does make me hope for a Dangranronpa IF adaptation for the hell of it.

This episode you had some school festival antics which were honestly not that good. Then suddenly paper shirt watergun fight. (complete with cross-dressing boys) It's like they have a checklist of fetishes to cover.
Then you have some laughably bad mood whiplash. From happy dumb antics to Yura's past coming back to make her depressed only to vanish again. Then a lot of things just seem poorly executed overall.
This show is still very bad. I'm not even sure about how to properly express it. It just doesn't work for me.
If only Mugi was in the C3-bu instead of the Keion-bu

Today we learn that you can't just combine willy-nilly; you have to do it as beautifully manly as possible, or else it doesn't work I guess. Also you can't work up a proper manly spirit on an empty stomach. That little guy is Simon's true bro; the guy let him eat his tail so and Kamina could work up the energy to finish off that 16-faced gunman. That's a true bro, coming through when you need him most.

Americas Youth is going to end up like Japanese Youth im fucking sure of it.
That what happens when you have a patriarchal sociality that damns the youth and forgets its own histories. Men and Women practically hate each other in various degrees but breed in order to keep up appearance of a world view that were owned by criminals. The sexuality is to the hilt, we created whole fucking industries for it and yet when it comes the actual act it 3 to 15 mins? The Youth now sees that human sexuality is a Joke. The only reason why we have brothas and bros, and gang life, and bro life and even fucking hipster life is because these men have accepted this malignant form of patriarchy in order to get as many girls as possible. Those that haven't - have gone into this moe/loli/dfc stuff.
Moe/Loli has always been the symptom. Never the cause.
The only way out of it is gender. Transgender Gaf has been a great model of what human beings can become.

The anime, or the game?
I get the appeal in theory - it's a murder mystery story, and I love murder mysteries. To me it's a bit like if you took an Agatha Christie novel and filled it with Wacky Characters instead of real people. From what I've played of the game, despite its extremely simple solutions the gameplay is more entertaining than, say, Phoenix Wright's take on a similar situation (mostly because the text moves faster...).
With that said, it's not a game that in any way appealed to me in terms of an anime adaptation; you wander around the same locations over and over again, huge chunks of the game are deliberately static (lots of people standing around talking to/at each other), and it's so verbose that it really doesn't suit something which should have a bit more interest visually.
It doesn't help that the anime is apparently the laziest, cheapest adaptation ever, either.
And there we go -- after the image leak, official confirmation that Funimation now has the licenses for Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star, along with My-HiME, all the various Mai-Otome series, and Escaflowne (including the movie).
Bebop on Blu-ray is dated for 2014.

I'm just glad they're getting Tales of the Abyss. They better get JYB and Yuri Lowenthal back for Guy and Luke.
Obviously I need Anime Limited to get it for the UK, and I hope this means BD and not just DVD (already got those, of course) but fingers crossed!
I could even listen to Mystic Eyes right now. But I won't, because I still have ears.
All I've seen is the first episode of the anime, but that's all I really needed. It's not funny, the character design is hard to look at, the story is pretty cliche, there's next to no animation I literally can't think of a single redeeming quality. If you want a good murder mystery, cherry pick and indulge in the better Detective Conan episodes.
Sweet Jesus, today is the best day for anime.

Buying Bebop day 1. Hope we get a nice packaging like the UK.
I expect Escaflowne to air on Toonami around the time Iniusha will move up to finish its final 26 episodes.

Its a great game ... the anime is just badly done
I'm glad it's Funi. They'll probably do it justice.

To be fair, the anime is the worst possible first impression Danganronpa could give. I enjoyed the game a fair bit, but the anime is lazy, cynical garbage. I'm pretty sure at points they're literally using assets from the game in it.
Like BluWacky said though, it's not an ideal candidate for adaption, and ignoring that was probably my first mistake with the anime.

The anime is bad and lazy, but the game is fun, over-the-top with an enjoyable cast of characters.
16:38:26 <bay|Ota|FUNi> Q: Which of the sunrise titles will be on BD?
16:38:31 <bay|Ota|FUNi> A: We don't have that information right now
Let the guessing games begin.
more q&a stuff:
16:39:20 <bay|Ota|FUNi> Q: Bebop [HD masters] on Toonami?
16:39:24 <bay|Ota|FUNi> A: out of our hands
16:39:27 <bay|Ota|FUNi> we'd love that to happen
16:39:37 <bay|Ota|FUNi> Q: Gankutsuou on BD?
16:39:45 <bay|Ota|FUNi> A: No bd rights for that yet
16:40:14 <bay|Ota|FUNi> Q: English release of Mushishi BD?
16:40:31 <bay|Ota|FUNi> A: We may not have bluray rights for it
16:40:51 <bay|Ota|FUNi> the solicitation that went out ages ago was a misprint

I don't actually like murder mystery anime very much (save something as visually interesting as Mouryou no Hako). I feel like they rely on visual and emotional nuances to elevate the more mundane procedural aspects, which most anime can't provide - what little I've seen of Conan, for instance, is killed stone dead (for me) by the animation and pacing.
Of course I'm a disgusting sakuga whore so my tolerance for long-running shows with limited budgets is pretty low, and I'd probably enjoy Conan if I read the manga, but that's just my stance on such things.
Fuck.
