What? I think it blows Slam Dunk out of the water as the best basketball series around. Such intense abilities, memorable personalities, and partners, and really intense games.
Slam Dunk is historical title for many, despite your different opinion but I think you can understand why people regard something that became their fond memories in the old days so high.
Well I use to play ball in school and still do so that probably has something to do with it. I also kind of like the main character in slam dunk more as I can relate to him. I do agree with you about the abilities part as that is the reason I like it in the first place. I like the personalities in slam dunk more though.
I like certain noncute things.
ANN published an short interview with character designer and probably second-most associated staff name with Evangelion after Anno, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.

I'll give one question here as a sample:

They're really horrible about getting back on defense though in Kuroko.
It wasn't in the CM, but there's a really short preview of the Samurai Flamenco ending song on their site.

Certainly sounds like an idol group song.

I finally started all those episodes because it's TIME !
So How should i summarize this episode ?
I finally understand why those 5 are like this , i think i wouldn't have stopped watching if i'd seen this episode ..but what's done is done.
The way this episode ended was quite alright ... with some cool animation during the fight.
Those 5 are trully some very intresting characters they really are missing something.. Still the comedy was kinda alright ...

Honestly the most realistic depiction of basketball to me is still Ro Kyu Bu. They really focus on good solid team basketball, with an emphasis on team passing, team defense (they even practice zone!) and all the fundamentals.
Still need to get around to watching S2 but I haven't actually watched any anime in the past few months.
I started reading Slam Dunk last year after dropping Kuroko's Basket so I'm not "biased" by nostalgia.
Slam Dunk really is better, both manga/anime aren't in the same league at all. Slam Dunk's MC is better than the entire Kuroko's cast.
I also recommend Ahiru no Sora if people want a good basketball shounen.

b) I feel bad that the grocer here was clearing out a whole carton of the things for like 4 bucks a watermelon. God damn.
I wonder if Feep ever got more anime work? lol

Slam Dunk could have been stronger if it at least continued and gave one more tourney. I was still wanting more Rukawa action as well as the others.
What do you mean? I joke around with people and make them bust a gut laughing. Whatever description that fits.
Ok I just looked it up. I totally talk at people more than anything. My roommate has adapted to it by telling me she isnt interested in the topic anymore.

Free! Episode 11
Intense episode prelude to the finale. As a Rin fan it was a really emotional rollercoaster ride all throughout.
.
Fun times with everyone else though, the shopping was fun and really memorable for the occasional partner swapups.
Intense episode prelude to the finale. As a Rin fan it was a really emotional rollercoaster ride all throughout.
Finally inspired after having a heart to heart with Rei at the end after confronting his own feelings, to be denied the chance to compete with Samezuka in the relay race was just shocking and an unexpected turnout. I thought things looked up so it would have been the natural reaction to proceed as planned, but then that. I can only hope that maybe someone will back down or Nitori will do something useful. He has been Rin's only supporter through and through.

Random 10 DVD Dregathon
DVD 02: Elemental Gelade (2005) Episodes 6-9
Audio options: Sub & dub
Extras: cast interviews, trailer, OP
Only the second DVD and already my will is being sorely tested. I must stay strong!
I didn't start watching anime regularly until about 3 years ago, and that's because almost all the shows I came into contact with were either mecha or shows like Elemental Gelade - kids with spiky hair and big swords having a fight every episode while on an "epic quest". Some people like that sort of thing or these shows wouldn't get made, but frankly it repulses me. It was a bit of a revelation when i found out that anime has all this ... other stuff.
After Witchblade everything about this show was a huge step down: the backgrounds that looked like they were drawn in 5 seconds, the voice acting (especially the MCs voice and the stonyfaced female lead, ugh), the witless dialog, the character designs - i mean look at these clowns:
The trailer on the disc was Ergo Proxy again. someone is trying to tell me something.
Do I want to watch the rest? Hell no.
My Little MALscore Can't Be This Low: 1/10
now i'm off to look up Gelade on MAL and be horrified by the score. Witchblade had a 7.5!

Some really neat music in the OSt too, by Yuki Kajiura. Reverie Metherlence is so adorable it hurts.
Oh yeah and this awesome OP song

Also this is Reverie. I wish there were good figurines of her

I also like Lucchini's idea of scary sea creatures.
A high amount of [REDACTED] but that should be expected of a beach episode. Though actually it's not like they normally wear conventional trousers anyway.
This episode was great. I liked it a lot better than season 1's beach episode and that was pretty OK too. Drunk Mio was great and so was the subsequent :SDBurton

The best decision, actually. I'll probably end up watching it again this weekend myself.

RightStuf still has the Elemental Gelade OST available for quite the reasonable price. I have ordered so many soundtracks from RightStuf lately I have begun to import other OSTs that have only been released in Japan.
I have the OST on CD actually
Also have a Princess Mononoke one, Allison and Lillia, Chihayafuru and I forget what others.

One of my favorites from S2, Perrine is such a god damn sweetheart.

I'm really enjoying Majestic Prince a lot more than I thought I would. Even though it's all CG mecha I do find the battles to be really well done.
I like sweethearts. Sweethearts are nice.

This one in particular is voiced by my goddess too, so Perrine's extra great.

Not sure how it is possible to like Perrine.
One of the most unlikeable anime character ever.

Guess I should get around to watching S2 soon then. Only got through 4 episodes so I'll probably just buy it and start over.

I currently have 40 OSTs, with most of them being Pioneer/Geneon releases. I have four more OST imports coming which include the Minami-ke character songs, Blue Flow from Haibane Renmei, the OP to Seitokai Yakuindomo, and Momo's character CD from To Love-ru: Darkness.

My frothing demand for Galileidonna increases ever further with the new PV. It looks like a "good" Production IG show in style. I can't wait!
Samumenco, on the other hand, remains elusive. This is no Psycho Pass - it's supposed to be light hearted fun. Why tease the show so mysteriously? Then again, it does make me curious about what's coming, so I suppose it has had some effect.
Elemental Gelade is My First Anime : The Show. It is exactly the kind of show you describe, and you are not missing out on never seeing it again (I speak as someone who watched the whole thing and has never really been able to justify why).

I think I have a CD with Stellvia music from Angela and Tsubasa reservoir chronicles. Always wanted to get the Noir CDs but ever got around to it.
Ohhhh. Yes Sa-nyaa~ <3
It kind of was babby's first animu but hell, I loved it. Still do.

Maybe their saving it all for the preview event, I guess, which is soon?
They're supposed to be showing the first episode next Friday so there must be something animated. Maybe it's really good and they don't want us to see it in advance...

An explosive finale to an overall great series. The final battle between Izuru and Jiart was truly epic with a very satisfying finale. Anyone who decides to marathon this series is in for a treat the mech battles are some of the best I've ever seen and if all CG mechs shows look this good I'll be pretty content.
I'd say this is a solid 4/5, I knock it down for it's rather slow opening with some rather painful comedy episodes and not enough actions. The second half of the show when things really begin to pick up redeems it though. Might be time to reevaluate the 3 spring mech shows as MJP has truly but up a compelling argument.

The ending leaves things open for a second season which would be awesome, though I don't mind if this remains the finale. If I had any complaint it would be that not only did Simon and Izuru survive the final battle, but none of the named good guys got killed. Especially after they waxed 2 of team doberman I was expecting someone to die.

I've watched too many shows to the end out of sheer bloodymindedness, it's a bad habit that i'm trying to break. I mean, i made it to the end of Fractale.
awww now i feel bad about what i wrote. sorry cajun! i think there's a cute show in the pile that i might like better...

Is this commander a moron or something ? i know he is meant to be arrogant and stupid but still.
So after 6 eps i guess it was time for us to see how the main bad guys were doing ... they seem evil enough .

She really is and she gets some damn good episodes! That Miyukichi certainly helps too.
If she stayed a standard ojousama character I might have sympathised with this viewpoint but as things stand she's a very solid character.

I guess you're victim of the stockholm syndrome. There is no other explanation.
