So? They always make the formal solicitations about three months ahead of time. The only difference for the December slate is that for some reason they took the time to detail the entire thing at their Otakon panel.

I don't get how you think I made an issue with your original post. I just made a comment that Sentai took a while to make it official.

I'm sorry if I offended you, It was not my intention.

Sentai Filmworks's got their December solicitations up:
Girls und Panzer BD/DVD (w/out bonus OVAs)
Kokoro Connect OVAs BD/DVD

So is this the new future of American anime distribution? You can't milk with individual volumes, so just split up the OVAs and sell those as extra.

Could've been requirements from the original distributors (Bandai Visual/Starchild) for the license. Those kinds of details unfortunately usually stay locked away from the public eye.

Sentai... one release includes soundtracks and commentaries and behind the scenes videos, another release strips out everything and says clean openings are a feature.

I don't know anymore. :(

Actually, doing a bit of research, it seems that OVAs that were originally bundled with manga volumes in Japan are less likely to be included? I dunno. That seems to be the case with Sankarea and Another, at least, even though the OVA in the latter case was rereleased with the JP BD-Box.

I would rather pay a little more for the bonus OVAs and other extras than get nothing at all so long as the bonuses can actually add up to make a separate release. If there is only one or two OVAs and minor extras, I would hope they would be packaged with the first release.

For what ever reason, manga-only OVAs are much harder to get than those OVAs bundled with the individual volumes.
 
Curse the gods!!!
no anime nor games today... because no electricity.

And my phone battery is dying .....

I guess i'll stare at the thunder clouds all day.
I cant even move out since its raining like crazy

Stella C³ - Episode 9

So here's Yura's heel turn :p. It's interesting seeing how much of a personality shift she's gone through...though it does seem a bit unrealistically drastic. Certainly looking forward to seeing where they go with this.

Muromi-san OVA
This was beyond lewd. To the extent that it was actually uncomfortable at parts.
Still it was the standard Muromi fare though I think the longer runtime actually hurt it a lot more than helped but even so it was worth a watch if you wanted more Muromi to nibble on.

Should have watched it in 3D instead. Those stereoscopic reflections on close ups of glass panels are fucking hot. :D

You should watch the 3D CG one piece mugiwara chase movie, it will make you come to your senses and join the anime cg hate resistance.

Use of the word "porn" as a descriptive appendage has truly reached a nadir when you just use it willy nilly by itself to start referring to things that aren't pornographic at all anymore.

I mean, I have to assume there isn't any of that in Garden of Words, or I probably would have watched it already.

I dunno, some of the shots of feet...

Landscape porn isn't pornographic? Oo

porn [pawrn]
noun
1.
Also, por·no [pawr-noh] . pornography.
2.
television shows, articles, photographs, etc., thought to create or satisfy an excessive desire for something, especially something luxurious: the irresistible appeal of food porn; an addiction to real-estate porn.
Is that the second CG movie of OP? The first one looked eww, those gifs don't look so bad anymore.

That's a movie? I could swear those were from one of the One Piece video games.

That's the first mugiwara chase, I haven't seen the second one which is called One Piece 3D Gekisō! Trap Coaster neither have heard of anyone seeing it before(not sure if it ever came out).

For some weird reason the mugiwara chase movie reminds me more of noddy(old uk cg children cartoon) then one piece.

That's a movie? I could swear those were from one of the One Piece video games.

The cg style looks similar to pirate muso game which I didn't like the look of the characters mostly franky,robin,nami and brooke.
 
It is general usage under the second definition that I find irritating and cheapening. Like, really, addiction to real-estate porn?! Does that make Home & Gardening catalogs into masturbatory aids? It might be that I can't mentally get rid of the image of people masturbating to food, torture, or landscapes, though, perhaps a problem of excessive imagination on my part.

It is definitely your excessive imagination.

Yeah, it's probably overused. Although I still like to call KEY works "tragedy porn" because I think it fits the melodramatic writing style they like to use.
Plus they put actual porn in the source material.

Burning out a bit on this. Gonna give it a few days after I finish Fresh to start Yes.

Whoa, whoa, let's not go spreading misinformation about the classics here.

Noddy was stop-motion, not CG.

Does that make 1999 verison of noddy and all the iteration after, the darker then black 2/eurka seven ao of noddy.

But they show luffys best angle in that moment and zoros pretty cool.

It's not the cg but the camera work that makes the spiderman like chase scenes and fights impressive.

Right Stuf already put up the new Sentai offerings for December. The sub only blurays are cheaper than the combo (sub/dub).

Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!/WataMote Episode 9: Wel, we can upgrade this week to barely tolerable in that this was a pretty typical WataMote affair built around one giant K-On! reference.

So since I finished a couple shows the past few days, gotta replace them with some new stuff, so....

Squid Girl (English Dub, via Netflix): 01



Watching in English because I'm Tenumi. And oh boy, the puns. So many... But still quite good. First time actually watching this series for me.
 
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon 7

So we find out the dude with the turtle is Motoki, and Usagi thinks Motoki is Tuxedo Mask because he was managing a ripped Tuxedo that Tuxedo Mask has (and to be fair here, with different hair style changes, on top of the fact that everyone has normal hair color, thinking he's Tuxedo Mask IS plausible this time).

So Everyone except Ami decides to go to the amusement park, with a new dude with a turtle backpack (and Rei gets stuck with this dork). Usagi... doesn't feel excited with Motoki, but with Mamoru she realizes she still gets excited. Anywho, THANKS TO MIRRORS, Mamoru now knows who Sailor Moon is, because fuck secrets.

Oh and Sailor V actually appeared to go HEY DON'T GO NEAR HIM (kinda hard when fate keeps making them run into each other).
 

Seraphis Cain

bad gameplay lol

It's a damn shame the second season never got released in the US. It's so good. =/

The Ace Attorney live action movie was a great surprise. I'm not a huge fan of the series, I only played the first game but still.
It ended up being one of the most fun movies I've seen last year.

I really appreciated that about the movie. You could tell that everyone involved in it was really having fun with it. The costumes department in particular must've had fun recreating character designs, but the actors all seemed to like doing the over the top bits of the game. Von Karma's breakdown scene, for instance, was so good.

Alright. So I watched something over the last two weeks. I finally got around to watching Tweeny Witches. I went into this pretty much blind but I got a good deal on the whole set so took the plunge. I have to say it's a better Escaflowne than Escaflowne.

Whoa. Does it have giant caped robots and an Escaflowne worthy soundtrack?

Watamote 9

So thanks to everyone's impressions I was watching the whole episode waiting for the K-ON reference...until finally BOOM
un-tan un-tan
. So yeah that was a thing that happened.

More memorable for me was Tomoko's ill-fated attempt at part-time work. (Hang on, is there even any point attaching "ill-fated" to anything Tomoko does? Should that just be taken as read?) I mean, it was obvious as soon as she got the idea into her head that her expectations were going to be betrayed horribly, but even so the harshness of it managed to surprise and amuse me. Poor girl.

Armored Trooper Votoms: The Last Red Shoulder
iME7ywYrfYEQA.png

This flashback part was pretty neat in the way it was done I thought. Also Chirico as strapping as ever
Decided to randomly check this out today after Narag's recommendation last month. Was not disappointed.
Basically this is a 50 minute OVA bridging the first and second arcs of the original series and also a much needed background look at the Red Shoulders which I had found was an aspect that the original series didn't focus enough on.
It basically felt like you took the best parts of the original series, wrapped them in higher than the series production values and put them in an OVA. The AT battles in this were pretty damn awesome and the OVA benefits from being an OVA in a variety of ways, especially in terms of the art and more detailed mechanical animation.
If you are a fan of the original VOTOMS series this is a must watch IMO.

Then it isn't Escaflowne enough to be more than Escaflowne for me. It needs giant robots in fabulous capes.
They really are all that matters.
Edit since the thread is dead:

You have got to be squiding me.
