A Town Where You Live - Watched episode 8. And we have another time jump. Jumping 18 months ish from the end of episode 7. I know some folks have been complaining about the time jumps in the show, but I'm not having issue with it in terms of following the show (I haven't really read the manga). I guess given how long the manga is, and the fact they probably started knowing they'd never get to tell the whole story, that they have been dipping into certain major parts before getting into the meat of what they want to tell in the anime. Though given we're only 4 episode left I guess it will end with the expected hookup.

Also watch Aria some time. (I had to do it! lol)
We talked about this. Say I Love You is infinitely better than Tonari no Kaibutsu!

I guess we talked about this a few pages ago, but I assume that the Sentai release of Say I Love You won't include the OVA.
What's wrong with sex?!I'm super mainstream when I watch/read shoujo

I said it like a week earlier but I really need to get to that second season.
If there was ever a question for Davido, it'd be this.
Nothing! But I like my media compartmentalized.

Extras listed are: Mei & Marshmallow 1-6, Clean Opening Animation, Clean Closing Animation.

So no.
Although I guess the OVA just came out recently. But at least those weird CG cartoons are there. lol
Well, it's not like there is anywhere else you can go. Jdrama? lol
Although, serious question - has a jdrama ever dealt with teen pregnancy and abortion?
You should! The Natural is arguably the best part of the series because it has time to focus on the wonderful world of Neo Venezia.
A true hero!
Well, not abortion (I think thats considered a very big taboo here) but there was a drama specifically about teen pregnancy a couple years ago, 14 sai no haha (14 Year Old Mother). I never bothered to watch it but it was mildly successful.

Sounds deliciously jdrama-ey. I mean, that's basically perfect for a family drama.
And, I guess I never bothered to look, but abortion is illegal in Japan?
Jeez. Worse than America.

It's more amazing that it's getting dubbed.
Wikipedia says yes, completely illegal except for special circumstances. Let's... not get into this conversation here btw :lol
Oh hey, to go completely off topic, we should do a Ghibli retrospective podcast! Rope someone else from here to do it too. sonicmj1 seemed willing enough

Although, for teen angst, I suppose that makes sense. What will be hilarious is having their stable of 30-something bad actors trying to act like they're on the set of DeGrassi or whatever passes for teen drama these days.

OVA's have been sold as separate entities for a long time. I have separate DVDs for the OVAs of Saikano, Stratos 4, Rozen Maiden, and several more.

In ancient times, sure. Until now, the only set I feel screwed over by was the FMA:Brotherhood sets where they stripped out the OVAs.
I mean, even the K-On sets included the OVAs as part of the season sets! (Although season 1 was pure milkage since it was split into 4 volumes).

Hello, everyone!
How have things been? Any new good anime shows?
Just wanted to say hello, and leave a little comment about the Evangelion movies.
While I was banned, I saw all three of them with my girlfriend, and boy do they make me feel things.
Neon Genesis Evangelion 1.11:
It was a simple retelling of the first few episodes, and it worked well.
I really liked that
I really didn't like
Neon Genesis Evangelion 2.22:
It was doing so good! It really was!
Then? It was weird.
Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.33:
So, in conclusion?
If you like Neon Genesis Evangelion, don't watch the movies.
Edit:
I did draw the Mass-Production Evangelion, and it might be displayed in a local art store soon!

Lilith is referred to by name, NERV headquarters looks really nice, and the Evangelion designs received a few modifications.
Eva-00's new color. The hell happened there?
Neon Genesis Evangelion 2.22:
It was doing so good! It really was!
Then? It was weird.
Why did Mari get no introduction? Why did Shinji cause Third Impact so soon? What was up with Kaworu? Eva-02 Beast Mode is dumb! Eva-01 Beast Mode is neat! Was this movie rushed?
Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.33:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK THIS. I don't understand. Why?! Why was this made like this? There is so much wrong. So much wrong. Eva-13 was weird. Kaworu was entertaining, but his death was stupid. All characters were idiots, I don't get the "Adam's Vessel" talk about the Eva that "Rei" piloted. It was just a fucking mess.
So, in conclusion?
If you like Neon Genesis Evangelion, don't watch the movies.

You should start an AnimeGAF cast.
Too lazy and unmotivated. I need someone to do the work for me. Plus I don't think I have particularly interesting opinions anyway.

You have the exclusive Japan angle!
This is the fundamental problem with starting something here. No one wants to do the hard part! lol
Latest theatrical releases!
I won't even do the easy part!

Kimi to natsu no owari shourai no yume
Ookina kibou wasurenai
Juu nen go no hachigatsu
Mata deaeru no wo shinjite
Saikou no omoide wo...
That's what IRC is for!
I've done two of those for firehawk's podcast! The problem is that I can't be arsed to watch all the major ones (like I won't watch the Madoka or Chuuni movies) because of lack of interest in some of them.
Well, it is more I do the hard part elsewhere and don't want to end up with something that looks like the work I already do.
Hosting podcasts costs more than it's worth.
If that is the case then you may be doing it wrong.
Isn't it super cheap on libsyn? I'm sure we could pool money to host it if it comes down to it (which it won't)

You have a mac. Just use the built in mic! lol
Mandoric has already offered hosting!

Can I cast Hnnnngazawa Kanna to voice cajunator?
;P
We should kickstart this. I don't think it would be that expensive to hire her for a 2 hour radio-like program.
I kinda wanna hear cajunator actually do that squee thing just so I can have a reference for whenever he does it.

Blood Lad first 15 seconds
Wow does Viz Anime really have subs that are this crap? They are small, a color that's hard to see on certain backgrounds, and don't really synch with the words at all.

Having OVA's already bundled I will admit is a nice gesture and something fairly recent.
Future Diary 1- 4
So I finally decided to give this a whirl. I thought so before I even watched the show but it became even more apparent after doing so but some of the character designs don't make sense in the context of show. Like we have normal looking people standing right next to clowns and chibis. For a show that takes itself seriously it seems a little off putting.
Also is it ever explained why Yuno wants Yuki's D so badly? Is this something that is played straight or is it an ironic commentary on the fact that only an actual psyhcopath would be so romantically interested in a wet blanket of a person who goes out of their way to sequester themselves from the rest of the world?

A stretch goal would be her reading several pages of the thread as well.
The biggest one would be getting her to read Extellore's SOS post.

Well I didn't like Hidamari Sketch so it don't matter to me.
sounds pretty bad tho
It literally sounds like "EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"

KanaHana wouldn't kill me despite it being fairly cute, Kana Asumi would just be paying for my own death and I would hope one of the stretch goals would be a funeral.
