Well, looks like the YouTube video just got set to private, so... (I know this probably doesn't have anything to do with regions, but still.)Must be a C-tier project for Bandai Visual if they actually bothered to upload it to Youtube in HD without region locking it.

Summer 2013 Anime |10th Dimensional OT| the first ignoble truth: all of life is anime

that's may be the true - but my contention is that its never truly "straight forward" - i.e. there is some sort of crux regardless. Man has to figure out if its worth it or a determent, and that's a individual choice. The crux could be the relationship, or money or such other things. If its a "socially responsible relationship" - the reward most times is sex, so we fight for that reward - then it becomes a fetish. Hollywood (and a majority of media) does it as fait acompli
The irony is that the crux never really exists in adult same sex relationships - its pure sexual want for some, others its non sexual (or no longer sexual). In Heterosexual relationships - even more so in the modern day, the fetish has become the "norm". You see all these advertisements for Cialis, Androgel 1.62%. This is to keep the idea that it needs to continue because "woman continues to want it" when nothing can be further from the truth.

They weren't necessarily blind to how messed up their society was, just certain aspects of it. Saki knew how bad things were in the way she was effected by them. Such as how she and her friends were manipulated, and the kids who disappeared. But they never put any thought into how the monster rats were really effected by their society. They even object to some of their claims in the final arc by saying 'we didn't treat you guys that badly'. It's only in the final episode that their eyes really open to just how screwed up things are for the workers.
They weren't ignorant, but their perspective was one that was based on their life experience and limited due to them only seeing things from that perspective.
This PV looks way better than when they first announced it. It's nice to see "classic" designs used to the action scenes. Good animation too. The character designs still look garbage to me, and it seems like the story will be more "serious" than Gunpla Builders, making it dumber and less fun, but at least it looks waaaaaaaaaaaay better than Gundam AGE. Lol.
Will watch a few episodes and see if I want to drop it.

I'm in the same boat as duckrollerflex. Character designs are just stupid looking, but the action looks like it has the potential to be a blast.
It definitely scratched that nostalgia itch. I'll give it a shot, which is more than I can say as of a few months back.

He seems pretty popular. Kise has to be the most popular though.

I'm still kinda disappointed about how they handled Pop. Making her into a witch apprentice seemingly just to make her sleeping for tests into a running joke. Ojamajo Pop should have really been nothing but awesome.

Preliminary DTL GOTY or does Free! have that nailed down too hard now?
I mean Pop is still awesome. Just wish they did more with her. Or perhaps she'd be too powerful an Ojamajo.
Maybe coming in second.

One of those imoutos (unironically the best one there) is designed by my lord and savior Shimada Humikane, I'll have to obtain this some day.

My hype is at critical mass.
Not everyone can appreciate the subtleties which make Glass Fleet the most amazing space opera ever made.

Considering Noragami sucks, probably sad.
Saika does look like the best girl, but she loses a significant number of points for being the only one whose outfit isn't remotely pyjama-like. It's like, bitch, you're defeating the whole purpose. Get some proper pyjamas on, stat.
On that front, Mifuyu and Haruna have her beaten so badly it's not even funny. Mifuyu also has Akasaki Chinatsu's amazing voice going for her, and Haruna's lolitasticness is over 9000%.
Basically I think the only thing we can say for certain about this lineup is that Akiho is worst girl and needs to GTFO.

No, you don't understand. Saika has short hair, HAIR EARSSSSSSSSSS, is obviously a tomboy so she would more than like have a nicely toned and tight butt, and is basically a Strike Witch since Humikane da god.

Some hype back for fall.
I understand all of this quite well. Her design is wonderful, and clearly the best there. I'm just saying, she's committing the cardinal sin of ignoring the theme of the product she's appearing in, and she needs to be called out for that. If I buy a CD called "You Can Sleep Together With Your Little Sister", I expect to see pyjamas, dammit, and that shit she's wearing ain't pyjamas.
we already established I have a pyjama fetish back when Prisma Illya started airing, remember? =p

You can't just ask a tomboy to wear traditional PJs, she obviously wouldn't look pretty at all in them. She would only wear those after you've established that she's super cute and she'd be like "O-onii-chan, pajama wa...niau?" (I don't think this sentence is correct in any way but you probably get my meaning) and she'd wear the frilliest and fuwafuwa-est PJs of them all. I still prefer a tank top and shorty shorts since it's easy access.
Clearly I wasn't paying attention since I never knew. My clothing fetishes aren't so complex!
Patlabor OVA 1-
Decent episode I guess. There was a bit too much exposition at the beginning. That said it did do a great job introducing the various characters and establishing a team dynamic.
Artstyle is pretty 80's which is kinda amusing in its own right. I laughed when they used the payphone off of the Expressway. Some of the shots are pretty good from a choreography standpoint.
I should also mention that I really liked the soundtrack near the end.

Well that's certainly... one way to look at it...
I'm inclined to believe she'd be too powerful.
Fresh Pretty Cure: 34
So the bad guys bring about nighttime eternal and its up to the Precure to learn the magic of friendship and use the Elements of Harmony to defeat Nightmare Moon.
....Eh, close enough.

Well, its looking like were starting up the plot run towards the end, possibly. Especially with that episode ending....
A little something from the Toonami Q&A this morning, as posted in the Toonami thread...

Funniest episode yet, mostly due to Ayaya's adorable misunderstandings along with the usual dose of Shino being lewd as fuck. I'm also still in love with the somewhat deformed faces in this show more than I am with other shows like it.

Well, didn't see that coming.

I figured Seira would be the one to eventually go evil. Turns out it was Luna, but not by her own choice. Also I knew that wasn't Akari right from the start.

Make sure you check out the excellent first 2 movies after the OVA series.

Yikes, people sure don't like Fairy Tail in there. It's kinda shocking. I saw every episode (as it's one of my favourites) and there's nothing really in there (aside from some small noticeable animation issues halfway through the series) that screams "STAY AWAY!" IMO.

Was about to shut the show off when Akari played the YURI card but then when she responded I was like that is definitely not her. I had somehow thought in the back of my mind that the akari who first appeared as serene-onee chan was him but then I just didnt think on it further. Surprisingly I guess my first guess was right. Rather impressed with his plan and how he had this happen to Luna, far better than staying the same and having her battle her counterpart. Poor Akari and Seira.

Man...playing the credits with six whole minutes left in the episode? That was a bit odd.
Adorable as usual, though. Definitely needed that after Daybreak Illusion.

It just wasn't an enjoyable experience at all, I'd say.

That's just personal tastes coming through, nothing to feel terrible about. I don't intend to watch Kill la Kill, and while I'm looking forward to Space Dandy I'm not expecting to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Flowers of Evil or am presently enjoying Rozen Maiden.

I feel bad for ToonamiGAF.
They get what they deserve. I mean, that's kinda mean to say but if they're going to limit the scope of what they watch to popularity polls, welp.
Except they aren't. So that is mean to say.

I just prepare you for the events in November.
I hadn't realized they all dropped SAO. Good for them.
