One of those years it wasn't even the best thing Ume-sensei was involved with.

Ume gets too little credit for the success of Madoka.

Ume's a super lady, I'm sure it wouldn't have been as great without her.
IIRC Summer 2011 was pretty miserable, Madoka save it from complete boredom.. I guess Bunny drop in it though.
EDIT : oh after checking, IM@S >
MADOKA: Durr hurr lets beat up the aliens hurp
HIMURA: Alright look retard. Our lives, and this planet specifically, are based off of energy transfusion, which is incredibly fucking complex and based on scientific terminology like "entropy", "stars", "galaxies", "universe", "meteors", "soul stones", "video games", "magic points" and "xenogears". You getting this you POS?
MADOKA: *weeps*
^this is the filth they call anime today

Love Lab 4
Our fellow green ranger is certainly putting on quite the show hoping to do it for the best of Riko. This episode however makes me feel concerned for later on in the show's air time, primarily in regards to the reactions for the last episode.
THEORY TIME
Logic dictates that Riko's lie will be unveiled, after all the times she fell victim to her ego and will cause drama. While we're at episode 4, and thus could probably benefit more from happening sooner, it could just be our season finale, which probably won't be well recieved since this is primarily comedy, and obviously, something like this will probably not be funny considering how much a hole Riko is digging herself.

Everything is better with Ume.
Ume should have done the designs for Psycho-Pass. And Fate-Zero. And Gar...actually, she can stay away from Gargantia, those designs are too perfect already to be touched.
Truth. I dunno if I would have enjoyed collecting all the figures as much had she not designed them.
Oh who am I kidding? Of course I still would!
Fully agree. Gargantias designs were perfect. The character designer behind those knows what he's doing!
Madoka was Winter 2011, it started airing in January.

This post is filled with British lies and untruths.
God, its time to sleep for me then.
Urobuchi did a great job incorporating Faustian elements into a magical girl show. There weren't that many exposition dumps and the ones that could have been, he fully fleshed out such as Homura's backstory. He did a pretty good job developing the relationship of Homura and Madoka. The character motivations for the most part were fine especially considering the age group of the girls.
I think all that should be spoilered out of respect for those who have yet to see Madoka. Pretty deep in plot stuff there.
If you're going to be a reductionist, do a better job than this.
To be fair, people who haven't seen Madoka should be shutting themselves off from the spoilerful internet and entering a solitary retreat where they can watch the entire series in one sitting in repentance for their sinful neglect.
EDIT: It also amuses me far more than it should that the post spoilering that entire quote was immediately followed by a post with the exact same quote, unspoilered.

Not to mention it had an amazing villain.
The dude just talks. Doesn't have an evil laugh, doesn't smirk, doesn't laugh at other's suffering, he just observes what happens with that same damn expression on that ridiculously cute body.
Throughout the entire series, I expected him to have some kind of final boss form that you see in a Final Fantasy RPG.

I must be really out of it -- for some reason I kept thinking that Kyousogiga was Cencoroll all morning long, even after looking at the goddamn picture in the ANN article. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Gintama Episode 14 You Only Gotta Wash Under Your Armpits - Just the Armpits
No, dont like the Mr Raindrop falling away from me now ed, the old ED was so much better.
Also hilarious first half of the episode, Sogo Hijikata utterly hilarious
. Second half was pretty dull, a boring character is not the type of accomplice Kagura needed.

There's a shitload of Gurren Lagann x Madoka stuff on Danbooru. Including a series of images representing the speech before the final battle from Gurren Lagann with Madoka Magica characters. NSFW site though.
Gatchaman Crowds 3
- I really like how Rui goes about in the world to see how GALAX affects it. It's a nice followup to last ep's scene of this where he's visibly angry that someone would call for an ambulance before consulting GALAX.
-
X's willingness to perform an illicit act to attain information speaks of an autonomy past Rui
- Questioning whtether or not they were worthy successors to previous Gatchaman was nice.
- Rui treating the world like a game translating to GALAX's presentation is interesting. Particularly as he balances consequencse of what GALAX provides. Employment personnel possibly going unemployed due to GALAX as an example.
- Sugane's luddite nature is a nice character quirk. I think everyone on the train but him was messing around on their phone.
- Gatchaman's apparent failure to do anything worthwhile played nicely against GALAX's ability to empower common people in the event of a more practical crisis.
- Galactor cat masks are the best thing ever.

I went to visit my brother at the hospital and he asked me what animes were out, and I did the dance and he responded " Ah, silver spoon".
I'm sure we're supposed to think that all the fighters are singing at the same time, but the audience only hears the song of whoever has the upper hand to reduce confusion.

Shouma's parents were members of the Kiga Group, the cult that committed "an attack" on the Tokyo subway in 1995. The attack took place on the same date as Aum Shinrikyo's infamous sarin attack in Tokyo in reality, but the cult is never referred to by that name - the date would be pretty much immediately obvious to many Japanese viewers.
The Broiler is a metaphor for... well, personally I take it as a metaphor for the moment before a child kills himself/herself. It is only in the bleakest moment that the Takakuras "save" each other there, and Momoka saves Tabuki. I don't think she tries to stop it - because it doesn't really exist.
Momoka used the diary to attempt to stop Shouma's parents - and the Kiga Group, and by extension Sanetoshi. Of course she and Sanetoshi effectively caught each other at a stalemate.
See above - it's a metaphor IMO.
This I can't answer without rewatching the show. I know that Momoka sends the penguins but there's a whole sequence that kind of explains it I think maybe back in episode 9? Obviously the penguin imagery comes from the Kiga Group's trip to the Pole, but I can't tell you without rewatching exactly how it works.
I really need to rewatch Penguindrum some day
Thanks for clearing some stuff up, especially the whole Sarin Gas Incident stuff, makes sense.
I haven't watch Madoka but I heard its ending is similar to Penguindrum's o.o
Tell me it isn't so.
The show is about getting boyfriends. Why are you surprised?
If you want yuri undertones watch C3 or Going Home Club.
Just quoting this because it made me laugh.

An Important Announcement For AnimeGAF
If I ever see a seal, I will do my duty.
How was Tari Tari? I've been tempted to watch it. Another got too horrific for me.
Tari Tari is adorable and heartfelt. Lots of singing, lots of Sawa being a goddess. Its just about perfect. Youll love it.
I don't have that one, but I have a comparator
Ugh... can't spoiler tag images on gaf. Bah.
Reused animation in 2 and so many wonzo faces in 3 almost worries me.
How far into QUALITY territory does it have to go before you'll abandon it?
This? I won't even if it ends up just being voiceovers over a Gatchaman logo. I can make concessions with a show if I'm invested in one part even if something else is suffering. Like Gifu Dodo!!.
You're such a champ.

I'd just like to make an inquiry to those who have played the Danganronpa game: setting aside the "anime is trash" accusations for a moment, could any of you estimate about how many hours worth of playtime it would take the average player to complete the events that were covered up through the third episode of the anime (i.e.
)?
up through the first trial and execution
