I know it's sad that you can't go "cum over my face, master Anno!" mode with a Gainax show anymore.
But first the most Gainax openings suck and there is nothing wrong with this opening.

But it is home to AnimeGAF's waifu.
Akane is an acquired taste, but she is moe all the same.
This, friends, is what you call "nightmare fuel"
Looks great, and I'm hyped again...

No.
izzarollLooks like fun. Will watch.
And kz from livetune also worked on the song featured in the promotional video for the Stella Jogakuin's graphical novel time ago:

So you're telling me it's going to find an audience?

Bad OP, but it's better than Free's, I guess. The designs look pretty good in motion (in this OP and the PVs) and I'm looking forward to what NG can pull out of the carcass.

But you just posted one of the best GAINAX's OPs of all time. It at least has like ten times more character than C3-Bu's!

So, how, exactly, is it 'more aggressive'? Yandre characters?
Why didn't you bring this up for all the other countries I missed these past six months? Those poor countries.
Canada had a birthday just a few days ago and there was nothing.
Honestly though, part of it is because I'm not American so I don't really celebrate July 4th and the other is I intended it more for AnimeGaf members who's birthdays I was aware of.
OK. I still have to get a Bluray player actually, haha. I think I'd need a region free one for that.
Ok, I laughed. haha.

Your true words will be too much for some but I seem them as nought but gospel truth.

"More aggressive" in the sense that the MC is resolving to be more outgoing, I think. Sounds really funny in English though.
Yes, you need to see this ASAP.
But...I STILL havent seen the others ;_;
Well ok technically, I have seen them but you know what I mean!
This seems more interesting now that I have visuals to go with it.
Still not sure what its about but I like the designs.
Princess Tutu! Because Luci Christian is a sweet angel.

While I agree this is rather trite and cliche it is kind of a recognisable staple of anime and as such it doesn't really bother me. Also Rin's dudes hair is purple, not red!

Was a studio ever announced? That looks like GoHands.

Vampire Princess Miyu TV, Requiem from the Darkness, Alien Nine, Boogiepop Phantom. There's a variety of moody as heck 90's Madhouse productions but I can't say I really like many of them.
One of Google's new features is a little odd:
I fear this can only lead people down dark paths.
Wow look better than MAL/Hummingbird's recommendation.
Yyyyyyyep, that's an Ali Project song.
(Would the more appropriate reference not be "from the people who brought you all the other Rozen Maiden OPs", though? Or reference Code Geass EDs since everybody and their mother has seen Code Geass.)

At first I was wondering what you were talking about as the only really bad one near the left was Destiny. However the more I went to the right, the more my expression went from
meh to oh shit my eyes are burning.
I haven't.

I'm okay with this
You're the exception that proves the rule.
As expected popersia broke GAF
I actually like the song, they're good when not abusing high pitch on everywhere like this or Geass ED1 (Rozen Maiden's OP also really good)

Also, DESERT PUNK. Holy shit Desert Punk has one of the funniest dubs in all of anime. Watch the Desert Punk dub!!!!
I think it was this past weekend a year ago was the episode that concluded the film arc. A year ago this upcoming weekend then was the episode that started the festival arc. I think that was also the same weekend where they had the stream of episode 11.5. I remember being excited for it and tuned in to watch it in all it's glorious GameBoy quality, haha. I actually missed the first couple of minutes and had to see those later though.
I'd like to own Hyouka but I don't want to pay the wallet nuking Japanese prices.
Nafey-kins, what is it about Irisu that makes you such a fan of her? I like misaki of course because shes nuts and her hair is the most adorable thing Ive ever seen but what stands out to you about Irisu?
It sounds like a good OP and visually its very cute. I can see myself enjoying this a lot.
Ami x Majo Rika?
Haha, nice av.this I can get behind
I like a lot of Gainax openings but well, you guys know I like a lot of things. Im not very picky.
Thanks for the recommendation. If its close to Yuyushiki Ill probably love it!

I never noticed this but thanks for the heads up.

I imagine he got disgusted with us and used his admin powers so the thread doesn't even show up for him, as it's the only thing that would prevent him from banning us all.

Aim for the Ace!
As I mentioned before the direction was probably the strongest point of the show with some odd exceptions aside around episode 24 or so.
To close this off here are some titbits for SDBurton. Also some girls getting hit with balls (running theme in this show) and the new alias for :kayos.
Edit: Minus album
Abundant animation errors, tons of re-used animation. (some creative, some less) I remember complaining about the first episode of Lupin III looking stiff, but this is even worse for it. Despite that I still thoroughly enjoyed looking at this show, mostly for the Dezaki flare, which while not as evolved as in say Rose of the Versailles or Oniisama e, was still quite prominent.
In case you forgot Madhouse was involved in this
Finally seeing this has also lead to new appreciation for Gunbuster too I must say, even with the hard work and guts theme. The music was pretty ace too I think even though it mostly consisted of the OP and ED re-arranged to fit the mood, which was done very effectively. It also helps that I love the OP/ED to bits.

Is team visor/goggles rising in opposition to team Kamina shades now? I might have to go avatar-hunting if that's the case.
e: not much good art out there, sadly.

I'm sure it'll get there! Just Google 'Slice of Life anime'...and you'll get Gintama.

Kino's Journey 11
This episode's themes actually drew parallels with a lot of stuff from Kino's previous encounters.

The way the people in the wise man's country sought to remove one's consciousness so that they may be upstanding citizens is eerily similar to Kino's home country which essentially lobotomized adults and brainwashed them into joining the workforce. It's as if humanity has this drive to eliminate negative facets of themselves. We see in the killer who seeks atonement, or these countries investing in the science and medical fields. People purged of these negative facets are revered, like the old man who was deemed "wise," when in actuality he suffered from apathy. He and his caretaker are similar to the mechanical dolls; devoid of emotions and longing for purpose. It's this, coupled with a sense of personal agency which exemplifies humanity here, with Kino asserting that her journey is a conscious one.
Oh so this is actually getting made now, I figured it was dead for good after the quake hiatus. I like what I read of the manga so I was looking forward to the anime at the time. I'll be hyping this.

I can't ever get over how unladylike the female characters look like in this show.

As much as I'll bash Elfin Lied, and I will, I must admit that in a few places the atmosphere was pretty good.
