I don't know who to believe anymore
Avoid making pairings. Worst mistake to do right now, you'll just cry as you see your toys get broken.
Actually do you like Rin?

Utena opened me to the wonders of
TL. So, yes.
Just don't believe in Penguindrum.

Well SuperStupid has Chibiusa and Pegasus Metaphors on top of what is supposedly the best episode of the franchise. Gotta make up my little progress today.... sadly a good deal of ongoing anime is saturday too (puts them to the side).
It is indeed a bit early, but at this point my "always fall for the MC" pattern seems to be holding up. Nozomi is super adorable. Urara is pretty cute too, but hasn't had enough focus yet for me to develop any strong feelings about her.
I knew going in to this series that the only true pairings are Cures x Mascots =p
She's not bad. The Naruto voice only occasionally gets to me now =p
This episode isnt that great all things considered but that
sky tearing
I really love how the show explains what Seiren is.
This is how I first thought of Chibi Usa and kinda how I still view her, although I no longer hold the whole series against her.
People in the Toonami thread claiming SAO has good action.
The apocalypse is nigh.

For all the pacing issues I believe Penguindrum is still worth checking out. Also you wound me yadda yadda.

It's worth watching, it's just no Utena.

1) Come to think of it, I think my favorite is a character that'll debut later on for you.
2) At least you knew that ahead of time *sobs*
3) Ah was just wondering
because being Rin is suffering

Utena is sui generis. There are clearly some elements borrowed from Sailor Moon and a bunch of Dezaki stuff, but the complete package stands in its own category.
aka nobody should expect another Utena ever again.

- The Sunday Without God 1-2
For some reason this is reminding me of Scrapped Princess. Not that the stories are really all that much similar, but tonally sort of. But with zombies, apparently.
Ai's got some kind of Stockholm Syndrome going on or something.
I told you this show was a must see!
One of the very finest things on THE LIST.
Some people just dont understand the little guy my friend. He did us a service. thats all that matters.
Porun's cockblocking of those two annoying fuckers is the very best thing about him.
I never really understood the way you people always focus in on that particular aspect of Porun, since that was never part of his appeal for me. Then again, I never really disliked Mepple and Mipple. They certainly weren't the greatest mascots or anything, but they were inoffensive and had their moments as characters. Their love-love antics were just vaguely endearing if anything.
EDIT: Dammit, just using the expression "love-love" has somehow got the first season Precure ED in my head again.
As long as they don't screw up the voices of Lisbeth and Silica I really don't care what they do otherwise.
So I was just roaming around on GAF and I saw a thread and someone mentioned a site called TVtropes. I looked into the site and they show almost every genre known to man on there, for anime as well. While searching I found one topic that I think will keep me busy for a while.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Yandere/AnimeAndManga (WARNING: I'd say just take a peek but don't read some of these. Some of them are spoilers for certain anime)
Welp, seems like I'll be good for a while. I have a TON of new anime shows I need to watch now
Welcome to the Hotel TVTROPES. You can check out anytime you like BUT YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE.
All the time >_
Particularly reading about different cities and places. When it comes to history or geography Im putty in their hands.
If you have the willpower, it's actually possible to just close the entire browser window containing the thousand open TVTropes tabs. It feels incredibly wrong, but it is possible. I've done it myself a couple of times when I was truly in need.
Probably waiting for Hyouka to get licensed first.
Yeah I dropped that shit after 14 and never looked back either. Even with what appears to be more Cute in it. Not even that could bring me back. I hate it so much.
Yes it is. And you havent really seen anything. Hoooo boy.
They can, but pitting them against each other in a battle to the death is more fun! There can only be one true ending!
Love Lab 4
This entire episode would've been a complete waste if not for the Lingerrrrrrrie~ bit and the tsundere musical bt at the end, the later of which acted as a pretty sweet setup for some amazing stuff to go down in the next episode. I just hope there isn't as much drama as the PV leads on.

I guess Rei was the inspiration for the mentally ill magical girlfriend.

There will be drama in Love Lab. It's pretty much building up since episode 1.

Nah, Sato was clearly Shinji
PenguinDrum is wacky and fun enough to be worth a watch. Just for Ringo alone. God shes so cute. Shes SOOOOO CUTE.
Interest in this rising quickly.
I'm talking about Misaki.
You watch it for the jokes? I thought the purpose of the show was tits.
JustRiffled

don't really think Misaki had a similarity to Rei either
Even the tits are poorly animated. There is a point in the show where her boobs are kind of...swaying...despite her sitting at the time.
If tits are the point, there needed to be some bare ones by now.

Aww sheet, just remembered Asuna doesn't speak in Episode 1. Fuck this week, next Saturday is where it's at.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
Did they really have to muck up the cover by mentioning Kids on the Slope and Escaflowne?
My Cowboy Bebop part 1 Bluray set just shipped from Amazon UK
Arrives Monday.
Are you in the UK or abroad? I'm wondering how much shipping would be to the US.
Mentioning Geass is a worse offense IMO.

I'm okay with them mentioning better shows on the box so Champloo and Geass can stay.

Overseas shipping isn't too bad you can go to checkout and see.
Note that these disks ARE region B coded so will not play on US players.
Basileus777

You prefer Geass to Escaflowne? I didn't even know that was possible.
Can I get around that with a modded PS3, or is that some hard coded thing?
Edit: Googled, and apparently I can. Awww yiss. Mother. Fucking. Bebop.
More importantly (perhaps): Bakemonogatari is coming out there, and it's pretty cheap.
Or Geass to Champloo or Kids on the Slope? Wat?
Goal reached! Anime Sols has their first successful series, with the first 13 episodes of Creamy Mami reaching $19,000 in crowdfunding.

I don't know if there is a region mod for the BD software on PS3 there are PC based solutions for this however.
UK. But I've already heard of several Americans who are reverse importing them. As mentioned, you'll need a region-free or region-switchable bluray player or PC though.
There's a region hack for bluray for PS3? Tell me more.
I found an old method from 2011 here. I'm checking for newer methods now.
I would imagine that the old method still works on a CFW PS3, but I don't want to be the guy in 2013 that busts his CFW with a 2011 patch, so I'm going to make sure first.
Ahh, requires custom firmware, pity. My PS3's only about 10 months old so I'm not quite ready to go invalidating its warranty just yet.
Silver Spoon - Episode 3
Good episode, good animal animations, same poor production values. I don't really understand how a huge hit manga like Silver Spoon is getting such a lackluster visual treatment from A-1 Pictures. It's really holding the show back because it doesn't even try to hide or dress up the lack of budget. It's a show which definitely looks and feels "cheap" every week when I watch it, and that makes me sad.
Next week is the pizza episode, they better knock it out of the park!

Majestic Prince - Episode 16
Another character centric episode without much CG action. I'm really digging the show at this point. It's probably a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome. I like the characters, and I like seeing how things actually develop. I'm happy for Amane's promotion and how he's actually working with competent people now instead of that dead end loser she was previously under. It's interesting to see how Asagi starts to feel left out when Izuru gets closer to being the shounen hero he dreamed of being. All the little touches are pretty effective, even though all the characters are fucking ugly. Oh and this week we get to see the manager's car again. That thing is so fucking weird. Lol.

Ah, nevermind. Made a reply before reading the spoiler tag, which ended up completely changing how the post reads. While there is stuff you should know about him it doesn't apply in this context.
Meanwhile, turns out that a certain song actually does go from A to Z in the full version.

i'll just state that your speed has dropped but that's what i expected ..with splash star you kinda want more but with yes! you're in a weird state of " i'll see more but later"
Let me tell you : this won't change untill the 2nd part of yes!
I am.
Why mentioning both mech show anyway, are Big O not popular in UK or something? that's more closer than both to bebop (Still way off lol)
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Love Lab 4
Pretty boring, to be honest. I might be in the minority here, but I think Kitakubu does this sort of humor better. All that Love Lab has going for it is the occasionally nice animation, which this episode didn't have.
If next week isn't funny I'm going to consider dropping it.
