It is a show targeted at fujoshi, female otaku who enjoy fantasizing about guys making out with each other. The director is a fujoshi herself.
You played Golden Sun. My opinion of you has improved greatly.
I'm really kinda weird with Watamote. I don't cringe or laugh or anything when I watch it. I smile. I almost feel a sort of connection. An understanding. Maybe its my desire for my life to be normal; to be better, that has me happy watching it, I don't know. but whatever effect its having on most everyone else isn't effecting me.
God, that was probably creepy right there...

So the homosexual undertones are real and not imagined. Now I can masturbate to this show guilt Free!

Those wacky Japs!
I could use more pandering anime like Aku no Hana and Rozen Maiden.

Strike Witches did all the pandering I need so I think I'm good for a while.
That "Last of Us is selling well in Japan" thread on Gaming Side where the second poster basically said "because pedophiles obv" and 300 posts of SECOND POST NAILS IT LEL +1 WOULD READ AGAIN ensued was probably the low point of this on Gaming Side.
Wouldn't you like Ishidate to debut as a supervisor? He's the action guy.
What the fuck? That's kinda messed up. D:

Righteous. Hope your lady likes it.Hey, AnimeGAF!
I just wanted to stop by and give thanks to everyone that recommended Neon Genesis Evangelion to me! I got my girlfriend to watch it with me, and she's up to End Of Evangelion!
So, I drew a pic of EVA-01 and I thought you guys would like it!
It's not done, but whatevs.
Thanks for the good recommendations! I'll be watching more anime as soon as we finish End Of Evangelion, so I'll be around more.
Wait, he's back to actually using Mad Pierr— nope.
Well, he can be animation director! Although I wouldn't mind he direct. I just want something from KyoAni again at the level of Hyouka ;_; Is that too much to ask?

I hope Takemoto is working on better material than Kyoukai no Kanata.
Professor Tomoe fits his posts much better than Mad Pierrot. Bonus points for being Sailor Moon which was this inexplicable exemption to anime avatar scorn on GAF.
Rakuten or you could just use random electronics chains' sites like yodobashi.com or biccamera.com
It probably is.
Well, who knows. I'd like for the art director of Hyouka (Shuhei Okude) to work on another show, since that's an aspect of the show that is leagues beyond everything else the studio has done.
I should really just get a name change again since my namesake doesn't really befit my actual posts. I wouldn't mind a Sailor Moon-themed username, actually.
And I actually did switch back to this because I have some extended OT-ing that I need to do for a while. Getting some health advice in a very alphabro thread and I'd just rather get answers than not :lol
Yonezawa needs to write more Hyouka.

Brofist.
I don't know how many times i've completed golden sun. i do know that i've played the first game ( sound off ) during math and french classes ( i was bored ) and that i couldn't have managed one of my VERY REMOTE school on the country side if i hadn't golden sun 2 and a gba SP ..i can safely say that i know those games like the back of my hand.

Argh things are happenning too fast , what was supposed to be a trip on a countryside quickly turned into a clash & power struggle but i learned something very important.
-Girls that lived recluse off society can get drunk on light liquor..
-Good girls , even drunk stay good girls.
Dully noted.
oh fuck, someone picked this up again? time for more delicious yuri
its the magic mike trick. but since the director is a woman is way more...explicit.
The sad part it, if I remember correctly, that guy was part of AnimalCrossingGaf before the game was released, and seemed rather cool and nice. Shame to have seen that he'd stoop to such lows.
It seems like Sailor Moon is way more guilty of some of the things a lot of GAF complains about in anime (ex: pantyshots) than shows like K-ON!, but the latter gets all the scorn.

Man, that was good!
The false mountain flashback was not only entertaining, it's basically a big red flag as to the kind of impact and shadow their father casts over them all. The way that the family acts in wake of his death is illustrative of the void he's left, and is reinforced even further by the way his narrative fills in their present escapades. The implicit assumption being that even for his father, it was a facade he had to maintain, and perhaps this lofty estimation of that deceased tanuki is what holds the sons from stepping forward as a whole.
Disappointed that we didn't get to see Kaisei. Benten/10

Strong cinematography can accomplish the same thing in live-action (see Terrence Malick, for instance). Though certainly animation has its unique qualities that make it a suitable medium even for realistic material - blending the real and fantastical, adding a layer of abstraction, giving the director total visual control.
The series does a good job with its characters, particularly with Anne and her gradual development and growth over many years. Takahata has the original novel to thank for that, though he did a pretty good job of expanding it into a long TV series. I like how the show visually shows Anne's growth through several different stages of her design; it's rare that an anime covers such a time span in detail enough to use that many designs.
I don't agree there; I like the look of that shot. Looks like an impressionist watercolor, and conveys the sensation of the ground rushing past Anne.

I wonder if Shaft will work on this as well.
It gets grandfathered in for being part of "back when anime was good" I guess.
I didn't mean to say live-action can't do it, of course, but to emphasize that it mostly always happens (and can be exploited) in animation.
Speaking of blending the real with the fantastical, I just love the way Takahata does it. The scene below the trees in the first episode of the series, or the orchestra playing mid-air, blending with the storm in Gauche the Cellist, or the ending of Only Yesterday- just perfect visualizations of concepts. And for these cases it's certainly easier to do it in animation!
I haven't quite reached the later years of the narrative, but I have heard many praises about this aspect, calling it Kondo's masterwork. He was such an amazingly talented artist.
I think there is a solid idea of what it's supposed to convey but the draftsmanship betrays it; perhaps it just seems dated to me, as I can't viscerally get that feeling.
You always make thoughtful responses to these, I appreciate it!

Cardcaptor Sakura 62
Sakura was particularly funny early in this episode. Her anger with her brother calling her "monster" was funnier in this episode than in most. I like how her friend made it a point to put it on her card that Yamazaki was full of shit...again. Why does she still listen to him?
Sad to see the condition Yukito's in though.

Decent episode where things were happening at the right pace .
and finally some info on the himegami
Not to mention the fact that this arc settled a lot of things.
Yep , pretty good episode.

But the whole thing is that Miho rejects what she learned from her family and learns the real power of friendship.

A Pikmin anime would be great --as long as the Pikmin aren't CGI.
