Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East Episode 22 Encompassing Heavens
So many good Shino Shinobu moments in the whole bath scene and hilarious even.
. Best arc yet, and possibly of the season for anime Im watching.

but again another powerful story with that cliffhanger, Ao what are you even doing 
I just hope this isnt done in away that Shinobu will have traded his life to Kagetsu and now we no longer see him in that form anymore. Or maybe Kagetsu will merge with him and then he can transform? I guess the best thing would be if he becomes just like Shino, taking kagetsu with him and being able to change forms whenever, also how would 22 yr old Shinobu look...kind of definitely want to see, especially how Shino became.

Evidently Manchester United started dabbling into anime as well.

There's more real beef in that shot than in a fast food burger!
I have a hunch it might!

TWGOK S3 9
Well, shit I feel horrible
Doesn't have the same impact as the manga but it still made me feel bad seeing that again. Music definitely didn't help either.
Sadly, they really should had place this scene at the end of the previous episode. Rest of the episode was rushed too much and made it honestly a bit awkward watching everything else.
At least, there was bright side in seeing Mercury.

I really don't like the mech fights these days. Just a bunch of crazy beams and explosions (rebuild series does this sadly) not enough actual fighting.
Certainly this is one of my favorite scenes in all of anime period. Wonderfully animated.
Eva 3's battles are a hot visual mess. Near impossible to follow half of what's happening.
watch kanon win in the end as wakaki is a sellout hackTWGOK S3 9

Why does everyone like Kanon so much? Is it because she has pink hair? There are so many better girls in the series!
I feel dirty.
If you're wondering what on earth happened to GKIDS' standard release of A Letter to Momo after they announced the license over a year ago (and it's been to a couple film festivals since, albeit sub-only), they're still working on the dub, but it won't be ready until early next year at the soonest.

I rather have a Tenri ending than see her winning.
Being a idol girl really helps.

Ojamajo Doremi 51 ��
I think me watching parts of the first episode again also helped this.
Majo Rika <3
Everyone needs to watch this.
Well something similar happened I guess.
Jojomajo Doremi
The queen doing what she did after all that transpired was sort of a dick move but I suppose the Rrrrrurrrrrus are what they are and she didn't have much choice in the matter. The one I'm feeling worst about is Majo Rika in this because she basically has it the roughest out of everyone else. Doremi and the others should have done a magical stage on her to turn her back. Doremi's magic was enough to momentarily do the trick after all.
specifically the scene where Majo Rika gets turned into a magical frog, the scene where they get found out and Onpu saved them are meant to mirror each otehr for example.
Everyone needs to watch this.
Obviously.

Even if she doesn't win, she'll probably still get another OVA to sell them CDs.
I kinda disagree with this and agree with this at the same time but mainly disagree. I think that's more of a fault with the writing and overall direction rather than a fault of the action sequence in of itself. The action sequences are fine for the most part taken by themselves, the problem is with the lack of characterization and context. BONES has been pretty shitty on this front and stuff like that can really hurt the emotional or intangible aspect of a fight sequence. Now if the fight sequence is hard to follow, that's a separate issue and not one I think is really that valid.
I really think the release format for the TV show unfortunately did a lot of harm to the popularity of the series. It's one of those things where I feel if it had been released like a normal TV series, it would have been much more popular compared to the OVA release format now. It's an absolutely fantastic show and pretty much nobody fucking watches it.
I think at a certain point, it's impossible to say which is the best animated action sequence because it all becomes a matter of taste. The Greed vs Bradley fights would sure as hell be up there and there is some stuff in Gurren Lagann that would almost certainly qualify.

Somehow they introduced a shounen writing contest into the middle of the episode. Not as good as the Shiritori shounen match from KKK last week, but still random enough to be funny because of all the twists and gamuts. lol

What do you mean? I thought it has been extremely popular in its release format on discs (arent all >30K even), and then its also, was doing pretty good on its tv airings setting being one of the highest premieres for the station in years.
Only issue with its format is it seems the timing still managed to give them issues for completely the final set of episodes in time and I dont think they even managed to fully complete the final episode in time for the last theater showing.
-Unless you meant in the context of people not in jpn?
Don't know if it's posted yet, but the Kana Hanazawa version of the Watamote ED is ridiculously cute.
I mean more outside of Japan. It's certainly popular within the country.

See if I had known this I might have been more eager to watch it!
Nisemonogatari 9
I hoped more would have come during the scene where Karen and Kanbaru met, but barely anything happened, and then Araragi just left. Disappointing.
Those two women he met were creepy as hell though. Since this arc is about Tsukihi, I wonder how they'll get involved with her.

Kino's Journey - 9
So yeah, at first I was like:
But then I was all:
Yeesh this show. As if the other episodes weren't mind-boggling enough, this one had to make me think
My mind is full of so much wat right now. I need to watch an upbeat and charming anime.
So yeah, at first I was like:
A resistance organization for publishing books? What the hell did this show become? Lol.
But then I was all:

the entire series was happening inside Kino's imagination. I thought I ruled that possibility out when people could hear the motorcycle speak, but NOPE.
My mind is full of so much wat right now. I need to watch an upbeat and charming anime.

I haven't been a big fan of when this show has dipped into serious mode in the past, but this time it handled the drama with a light enough touch that it ended up enjoyable. Makio Evolved is the best.

Good god. Hanakana you adorable person.

The producers are looking to license Space Battleship Yamato 2199 for TV airing in overseas markets, which will potentially end up with a much larger audience for the show than it just being popular in anime fan circles.

You're finally watching it?! Thank god!
Now you know what I mean and why I freak out every time a new set of episodes is released. lol
yessssssssss XD
Yes! Precure 5 - 42
*sigh* I was hoping to get through most, if not all, of the remaining Yes! Precure 5 episodes this evening, but after watching just one episode I found myself with a nasty little headache that resulted in me spending three or four hours just lying in bed doing nothing. What a waste of an evening.
Ah well, I can still find time for a couple more episodes!
"Let's go full derpface! Kettei~!"
Ahem. Leaving that Nozomi shot aside...
This was the second episode in a row focusing on
For some reason Rin seemed extra cute in this episode. Oh, who am I kidding - Rin is always adorable. *hugs Rin* She's got to be my favourite Cure of this series after Nozomi. I was actually hoping to find a specific shot of her being extra adorable from this episode, but looking through it, I couldn't find one that stands out. She's just wonderful in general.
So instead I made a GIF of her amazing smile from the ED, which warms my heart every episode.

What channel would air it in the US?
Cartoon Network or Syfy maybe.
We'll see if it ever happens. As it stands, I wouldn't even say it's popular in most anime circles.

It's popular for old people, basically. It depends on how much of a nostalgia play they can make here.
Although I suppose something like the new Sailor Moon is more likely to general mainstream interest nowadays than a revival of a 70s cartoon.
Yeah it's not very popular in places which contribute $0 on average to the shows they talk about, that's true.
To the surprise of no one, Kaze Tachinu stayed atop the Japanese box office for a 7th straight week beating back Man of Steel, Anohana and Sadako 3D2. It looks to be a clear field until the Wolverine movie in 2 weeks so at worst its gonna be 8 straight weeks at the top.
Anohana is actually the surprise for me since its a limited release but it came in 3rd beating out the first week of the wide release Sadako 3D2. Apparently its been getting rave reviews It had the 2nd best opening for a late night anime turned movie ever. (You can guess which was number 1. It wasn't even close)
The Miyazaki retirement thing apparently boosted Kaze Tachinu's performance starting Monday (not included in the counting for last week)

Yes, that is what I was saying. The producers don't care if some forums are going crazy over the show. They care about using nostalgia for Star Blazers to make money.
