Fresh Pretty Cure!: 08



Oh look, new toy time! I'm starting to feel a little Déjà vu here... A weapon that has a melody lightup before using, a baby.... Just how much did DokiDoki borrow from this season?
There's nothing new under the Precure sun.

Still without luck
Yeah, that is understandable.
But yeah, normally Animes are censored and are not as violent as Attack on Titan. You just happen to stumble across one that is thematically dependant on Gore and violence to get its massage across. To be fair, dropping it wouldn't harm you in any way since the quality is below average. Just watch some other billion great animes out there if you feel disgusted by it.

Forgive me if I indulge myself in recommending some shows but Why don't you try Darker than Black, especially now that you are here? Its an action show that doesn't rely on blood and gore yet is impactful in its damage cues

Yeah, Titan is definitely not for me. Thank you for the recommendation though. That's been on my maybe watch list for a while so I'll definitely check it out.
 
Attack on Titan 10-11

Ok, so the pace has most certainly slowed down to a crawl. Pretty much to the point where I wish they would get on with it. Have to wonder how many episodes it will take
for Eren to reach the basement of his former home. I hope the payoff is worth it but I am skeptical and will keep my expectations low
. Of course I will stick with since I still find the show's mythos to be interesting enough.

Sword Art Online English Dub 1-4

It was pretty good. The dub i mean. The script is sort of funny with the way they explicitly say "noob" and "irl" but whatevs. LOLOLOLOL. The menu sucks in comparison to F/Z's BD set. Wtf is this shit.

Probably trying to maximize profit as much as possible by cheaping out where they can get away with it.

The deaths in Shingeki are far too humorous for me to be shocked by the violence in any way, shape, or form. Hell, I was in hysterics when
Eren's mother
died at the end of the first episode thanks to the music and CG blood flying everywhere.

comedy of the year imo

The exaggerated melodrama of Attack on Titan can certainly be rather amusing. Moreover it's hardly that gruesome, despite the number of people that are killed in the series.

Are we leading up to a Nisemonogatari reference? But no that wasn't me. I was the one wearing (or probably carrying at that point because it was so hot) a jacket if that helps.

I don't really talk much about anime outside of this site since I know it'll just lead to embarrassment. I haven't seen most of the shows everyone has seen (GitS or Evangelion for example) and the shows I have seen no one else has. ┐(-。ー;)┌

You're just living the life of the excluded fan.

Btw if you guys want to reduce/cull the number of "There are no good anime/Why is all anime lolicon garbage" threads, a big way of doing that would be to redo the Greatest Anime of All Time polling thread.

That sounds like a lot of work.

Also, those threads have existed since time immemorial and they aren't going away, sadly.
 
Finally got back into Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Watched three episodes in a row. Now on 67. I wish I had some red wine or whiskey to go along with it.

What would Reinhard drink?

I'm not sure there's much that can be done to change anyone's minds, at least based on how those threads usually go. I just try to avoid them period.

You know wonzo will say yes!
I should too actually. I promised I would about a month ago.

True true!

=============================

RWBY - 04


Ruby and the gang are sent through initiation, where they must find a partner amongst their fellow classmates that they'll be stuck with during their stay at the academy. A bit more eventful than the last, and it looks like things will be picking up come next episode.

Can anyone argue against me calling Titan violence porn? What an atrociously disgusting show. How in the fuck do people enjoy watching this?

It really not. Morel ike tragedy porn. but even then its just kind of silly altogether.
Elfen Lied is violence porn.

Moretsu Pirates/Bodacious Space Pirates Episode 5: Alright, this show is starting to get good as the Hakuoh Academy Yacht Club (WHY IS THIS A THING?) gets into a dangerous cyber chess game with an invisible enemy and Marika Kato begins to show her prowess as a captain. I did appreciative picking up on subtle details like when to react to things and not tipping their hand, lesser shows don't deal with those kind of details. A few exepcted twists and turns and a revelation about fellow MC Chiaki Kurihara later the day is saved when a massive run in chases the unknown assailants away. This show has potential but boy howdy am I glad to be out of what amounts to the prologue of this show and am finally getting god damned space pirates like I wanted in the first place.

The first few episodes are pretty hard sci fi based so not for everyone. But once it gets rocking its pretty fun. Theres yuri in it too. Or at least faux yuri. And not-Usagi.

What in the fucking fuck is Blood C then

A glorious experience that is highly recommended.

Watamote 6:

I don't think I've lost my shit so thoroughly watching a single episode of something since Nichibros. It's always a great show, but it's definitely a funnier show when Tomoko's delusions are spectacularly backfiring on her than when she's just being awkward and depressed. Of course, both of these are still essential to the experience.



I actually defended this point at length.

...until episode two aired. hindsight's a bitch.

She is much better when her eyes are baggy. Thats the only problem with the episode.

Why do I feel like whenever there's a school trip in my anime and JRPGs, it's always to Kyoto?

How come Beauty's Beauty Blizzard could freeze the blue-nosed Akanbe a little, yet everybody else's had no effect at all? You'd at least think Sunny's attack would burn him a little if that was the case. Also they have new decors because love or passion or something.
 
Somebody familiar with the Hunter x Hunter manga put me out of my misery.

When
is Hisoka next
going to show up in the anime? Things are clearly about to get real, but no matter how real they get, it will never be enough without him.

I guess Im lucky I dont have this problem. I know several people into anime including the people I live with.

Yeah, ever since I started GAFfing my anime watching slowed down considerably. Impressions also break my flow when marathoning episodes too.

?

I know that feel. When I have to stop and post a small impression it totally makes me not want to continue marathoning. It takes special circumstances and extreme boredom for me to complete a marathon. Or a REALLY good show.

After watching Eiken.... I must say Shuffle! didn't seem all that bad especially for the type of harem I thought it would be. The first half was incredibly boring where as the second half was much more entertaining especially yandere Kaede. She was glorious.

That being said, I was disappointed it wasn't garbage. I'm looking for trash, not average. Give me suggestions to make me miserable.

Too bad about the lack of English subs.

You would think Japan would sub everything seeing as japanese otaku barely buy anything and they could use some overseas help.

Now and Then, Here and There.

Or for something that's perversely enjoyable: Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito

none of those are trash.

did they actually say this?

You see it right there! the internet never lies!

Corgis are moe enough anyway.

Very true!

Best scene in the entire show and the best episode easily. Whats Ei Aoki up to these days anyway?
