I think the Mermaid Suit would be more awesome if it looked more like a suit and less like a sock.
Best item is still the Roc's Cape, though. Why use any other item when I got that?

The manga is probably fine. It doesnt go...there.
Disposeable income is dangerousssssss.
Nah. Best item is Switch Hook. It's my favourite equippable item in any Zelda game ever.
Roc's Feather/Cape is always a great item too though.

Why did Reine think that sending Tohka and Yoshino to the water park with Shido and Kotori would be a good idea?
A lot of people seem to dislike Origami, but I like the contrast between her incredibly cold demeanor and her insatiable lust for Shido. Makes for some funny moments.

I choose to believe it is because Yoshino in a swimsuit is glorious and right.
I can get behind this. Those few scenes where Origami goes all out with her Shidodesire are some of my favourite in this show. It's a pity Origami is so boring the rest of the time.
Oh. I don't really have an issue with that,
I mean I liked Koi Kaze. Depending on how its handled. And the people who warned me off said it was handled terribly in Usagi Drop. And certainly given the anime I just can't imagine Daikichi going there. But then with the anime I can't imagine anything else but Daikichi trying to have a relationship with Yukari.
As for Aishiteruze Baby...its certainly not a direction I could imagine.
More like Kippei and Kokoro becoming her new parents as is alluded to. But I guess the mother actually comes back and everything goes back to normal.

A recap with no new footage or nothing (beyond the swift preview), and eye catch with just a collage of the info things instead of a new one. I guess its great for hearing the best portions of the soundtrack (but used over some scenes that dont really match the feeling or tone of the song made for awkward moments (triumphant song of joy played over the scene of the titans grabbing people,
, etc). Only watched for the soundtrack and hearing Eren's melodious voice. Cant really see anyone else watching it...

Origami really sucks but she looks cute in a swimsuit.

Pretty much, i have no problem when she is in a swimsuit .. my problem lies in the rest of the time where she is not.

It'll be the greatest (and probably expensive) thing if NISA picks this up years down later.

Well look at that, someone other than fucking Cure Heart doing a solo kill! Maybe we can balance out the kill score afterall.

Anyway Utena movie 1st second:
Fuck no NUtena's design is the worst why why why who ruined you?
Kyoda and Sato pretty much both came up with the concept/story of the show as you see it on screen. Obviously people like Kawamori, Yoshida, etc, informed decisions along the way, but the final product is as much Kyoda as it is Sato. Even the music/cultural influences, which people would most likely credit 100% to Sato...Kyoda was just as much responsible for that aspect of the show. The only difference is that Sato considered the ending of the show definitive and did not feel it was necessary to revisit it as he accomplished what he set out to do. Kyoda obviously felt (still feels?) differently.
And its not just Kyoda who wasn't able to move on, just have to look at Masayuki Miyaji and Xam'd. He obviously wasn't able to let go in his own way either.

No, it wouldn't. Eyeshield certainly didn't.
It is about the sports, though. Specifically, the fact that a lot of geeky anime fan type of people in the US have no interest in sports, and associate sports with the culture which beat them up in school. It doesn't really matter how good a sports anime is. There's a large section of the viewing audience in the US that is never going to even bother with a sports series.
I'm not saying it would be more expensive. Just that it would probably be at least sort of expensive, and would be almost guaranteed to sell horribly in the US based on precedent. There's a reason why the second season of Ookiku Furikabutte was never licensed, why the second season of Hajime no Ippo was never licensed and why Prince of Tennis released only about 25% of its episodes.
Sports manga are a different matter due to lower risk. It's easier to put out a low selling manga when you just need to be paying a small staff as opposed to a dubbing studio. Even then, none of the sports manga Viz have released have done particularly well. There's a reason they put Cross Game in omnibus format right from the start.
A world of joy.
You have to understand, Corvy, you're the only person here who is truly living in modern times. The rest of us are stuck in the Bronze Age, where there is no anime. We can't enjoy anime first-hand, we can only live vicariously through you.
A really great show thats what.

Last few episodes suffered from not enough Kurumi.
So this show was pretty stupid, but hell if I didn't enjoy it, and hell if I'm not watching Season 2.
Okay this is a harem-esque show, so I think I'm obligated to do one of them list things. Here goes:
Kurumi > Tohka > Reine > Kotori > Origami > Mana* > Yoshino
*could have been higher if she was there more. But she wasn't. So we'll never know.

Training episode, so not much to say other than Knuckle is just as awesome as he was in the manga.

Something truly wonderful. Brace yourself Corvo, you are opening a door that has shone new light on those who haven't even watched anime before. Your reactions will make this thread special. Enjoy.
Hey, I was the one who brought back KaminaGAF thanks to Gurren Lagann! Don't forget me!

I was going to watch this show. Then I realized its a stupid piece of shit. It has horrible mecha that are only made worse by being in CG. It has the absolute MOST generic plot of any mech show like, ever. Its comedy is about as funny as listening to Daniel Tosh or ramming a ball point pen into my throat. I hate the cast. I can't stand Hirai's designs because I'm not 15 anymore. Nothing about this show is good, and it isn't a spectacular kind of bad worth making fun of.
Fuck you, Majestic Prince. Say hello to Rah Xephon, because you have now joined it in having the odious distinction of being a show I did not finish.
I'd offer advice, but there isn't anything that can be improved in your sucky show, so I don't care.
DROPPED.

AHAHAHAHA. IT'S A CLIP SHOW AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE BALLS TO CALL IT EPISODE 14. AHAHAHA WHAT ARE YOU FUCKING DOING WITH YOUR LIFE.

I didn't used to have any interest but lately I've found myself enjoying sports anime.
Someone out there truly understands me.

The whole damn thing is a sad affair. Sato hasn't done anything of note (no Gyrozetter doesn't qualify) and just seems to be languishing. I wish Kyoda had gone on 'retirement' a long time ago. It's sad too because they could have done a lot with a prequel that captured the vibes of the show. The games padded out into an anime would have been decent. Instead Kyoda keeps going back to the well. Even a new IP with Sato would be worth hyping up. The whole thing is just sad.
As for Miyaji, the concepts were there and it seemed he wanted to tell a darker E7. He was just let down in his own abilities, the scriptwriters, and mainly the number of episodes the show had. If the show had been a solid 50 then I think it could have been something special.
...The thought of watching twice as many episodes of Eureka Seven AO actually scares me.
Thats a fairly decent ranking except Yoshino is toooooo low!
I have no fucking clue how to fix AO other than firing all the writers and starting fresh.
I was trying to figure out where I'd seen that style before, so I looked it up and turns out it's the same original designer for Tari Tari.

For some reason this reminds me that Yuyushiki never got an end card by Ume-sensei.
There were times where I honestly forgot she was even there. Girl has no presence.
