But I like my way of looking at it.
Eureka Seven Astral Ocean 4
Not so bad. I mean, dirty hippies and some minor explanations about what happened to Eureka, but the music is good, and the show is colorful, and Naru's VA has a cute voice.
Fuck this.
I want off.
Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! - 02-04
AWESOMEBEAR APPROVES!
Love Lab was pretty fucking good.
How did Brandy get banned? NBAGAF? lol mavs.
Moonlight best cure.
It would be insane to miss out on the origins of Team Visors as well as the dog vs cats debate and most important, High Elf or Dark Elf girls (totally dark elf).
(73 pages behind but really 71 since i've read the 2 latest @_@)

By the way, just like their previous couple of shows, KyoAni is posting web previews for upcoming episodes of Free! Here's the ep.2 preview:

Conquering other mens' swords and inserting each other into their pockets is kinda the most blatantly yaoi thing like, ever.
My favorite part of the show is that the VAs hate it as much as I do. Oh man oh man that man has a goateestache on EACH of his chins. The worst thing about this show is that it could be good if anyone cared, but they kinda obviously don't.

I'll give it a shot. Once subs surface.
I actually gave it some more thought and it's even a cancer joke. Which makes it pretty offensive.
I don't see what's wrong with th...There's only one reason that people watch Juden-chan. Is that something about yourself that you really want people to know?
I see. Dodged a bullet there.
How sad.Bottom of the page.
Budget restraints called for the reuse of assets.

It's too bad that Crime Edge seems to have bombed (it's actually good), but otherwise, nothing to complain about there. Yuyushiki was bad and deserved to fail, and while I'm watching Samurai Girls S2 (Samurai Bride), I can't call it at all "good". And on the other hand, Yahari Ore etc's decent, so that selling well is nice; maybe a second season? From what little I watched of them Date-a-live and Karneval seemed quite decent as well.
Ichika > Kirito
Cure Peace > Chiho
Nagi > Zange (and well Zange > Nagi when they switched characters for that bonus feature clip)
Oh god. Dammit, now I actually want to watch this.
Blue Exorcist The Movie sold about 10.7k on BD and 11k on DVD.
Not much else of note released this week besides that and Hataraku (which was split about 9700/2100 BD/DVD if you're wondering), so don't wait up for the detailed list. We might get a couple second week numbers on Thursday though.

It's like Dokuro-chan without the gore, and the man isn't a wimp.
Damn @ dem AnE numbers, that series so getting rebooted when the manga is coming to an end. Should just pretend the final half of the TV series never happened, can't even FMA Brotherhood the first part because apart from fleshing out the first chapter it was pretty legit.
Low budget, pretty good sales and it pushed LN sales to a good level, should be a no brainer.

Brain Base hate making sequel tho
I really like it too.
I'm still perplexed @ no DRR sequel considering the sales it had and the amount of LNs out. Heck it's not like Narita is a one note hack with writers block like Haruhi's author. Seems the only sequel Brains Base like to pump out is Natsume but fucking DRR sells twice as much....
Oh well hopefully Brains Base run out of otome games to adapt and pump out a DRR and Yahari sequel one day.
Ah, fuck it, I'm still awake and something has the full list posted.

Your mistake is assuming that Brains Base chooses their own projects and decide on what they want to adapt.
True, let me rephrase that in regards to DRR than, why haven't Aniplex reassigned it to a studio who can get it out considering they had no such issues doing so with OreNo (AIC Build) to OreNo 2 (A-1). Is it a an LN issue, like in the middle of a big arc? Are the key staff behind the Baccano and DRR anime unwilling to move studios like OreNo's did?
stretch goal - 2 hour movie would get my wallet.

Yep, Brain's Base is not the reason we haven't seen a Durarara sequel. Though I wonder what the reason is considering LNs continue to come out and the anime sold well.

Been meaning to watch this for a while now, though I'm not sure whether to continue this or continue where I left off in Oniisama E, though at this point I may as well restart it, making it my third time doing so.
This was pretty good; not as engaging as Oniisama E's first episode, though I think the OP may actually be better. I LOL'd hard at Oscar and Andre's fist fight for some reason. Also, someone please tell me
. There's one in Oniisama E, so I'm hoping there's one in here, since they were made by the same person.

Sadistic alchemy is best alchemy.
I don't really know anything about Durarara's source material or the publisher, but maybe the stakeholders are unable to come to an agreement on how to proceed on another anime series?
For anyone that watched WataMote:
I...I kinda want to buy it now.

Strike Witches 08
A decent but still relatively low amount of butts, while the fight was more butty than usual, making up for it somewhat. (lol at the :wonzo on that last shot btw or several of the others for that matter) Maybe my expectations for butts have been set too high from episode 05 and 07.
Another darker backstory episode this time starring Minna, this is similar to Barkhorn's episode in many ways. Early Witches had it rough. Also Minna in a red dress is among the best things ever. That ending cliffhanger too. (also :Chet) Gotta watch 09 quick. Also dat :SDBurton

If anything there's plenty of material for both Baccano and DRR available to cover multiple 13 episode seasons if they went for it.
In Baccano's case, they have a HUGE amount of source material to draw from. DRR has less, but there's no reason they couldn't move forward with more seasons, at least in terms of source material available.
Which makes the whole situation all the more frustrating. Both shows got cut off before they even got to the good stuff.

Full Metal Panic! Another Volume 03
And so ends another volume of this delightful Full Metal Panic series. While I wasn't convinced at first, by this point they've pulled me back in and I find myself eagerly grabbing the next volume on my Kindle.
I think the best thing about this volume is the clarification that
It's a nice extension of
's character development from much earlier. Especially the whole bit where
.
Lina also gets a lot of good action here, especially with the way
.
Looks like things are about to get real in volume 04. I'm excited to see where this goes.

I think the best thing about this volume is the clarification that
Mao founded DOMS as a PMC so that she could give people like Lina (or Sosuke) a place where they could use their skills in a legit way. A place where they wouldn't have to be murderers, but they would still be able to flex their AS muscles. For a little while I had assumed that DOMS was going to be a kind of Neo-Mythril, but the reality is that in this new world, Mao wants to give these people a home.
It's a nice extension of
***Mao***
she asks Sosuke what his plans are when their battle with Amalgam ends. In retrospect, it's nice to see that she managed to pull something together in the past ten years
Lina also gets a lot of good action here, especially with the way
she struggles with her jealousy and anger toward Tatsuya. He's new, yet he's a capable pilot. She should be happy about this seeing as how she trained him, but the reality is also that she brought him into this world of combat and danger. His experience in a real life or death battle from the end of volume 2 proved to be a shock to her. Tatsuya getting chosen as the pilot for Blaze Raven #01 is crushing on multiple levels, which leads to her total collapse in judgement
Looks like things are about to get real in volume 04. I'm excited to see where this goes.
I fully understand why there is no Baccano! sequel, it simply just didn't sell enough unfortunately and seemed to have no effect on LN sales. Pity it's one of my fav anime shows period
DRR otoh sold an avg of 18,310 dvds, light novel sales exploded... fuck IIRC it went from like sub 40k to 300k during the run of the anime. Than the Bluray box rerelease sold another 5.5k and I thought sequel announcement soon yeah? Nope.
Sucks to hear that the LN content isn't behind the lack of a second season, and considering Omori has the DTL Samurai 2 cour show airing this fall...
Perfect scenario, Baccano 2, DRR 2 and Vamp (is this actually decent?) are done as a packaged deal..... lol yeah right
wtf is luffy doing in an otome game
Bonus points towards validation if you watch it in Japanese, as it has the voices of fan-favorites Mr. Sugita & Ms. Hayashibara!
Be sure to check out all the 'Yamato 2199 Report' and 'Yamatalk Night Report' featured on Cosmo DNA (http://www.ourstarblazers.com), for your fix on information about the project.
Yeah, as staff member of Production I.G... at that time in 2011, as we knew via Syūichi Iseki (@egocoroking) that they organized a farewell party just for him rather than for any other, and shortly after that GAiNAX was "disbanding" with profiles on their webpage being erased, we thought he was gone for good to continue on his own way! But later seeing that he did it in the meantime TRIGGER Inc., was starting up was a total relief...

I own the first volume of Vamp but I've yet to touch it. I heard it's good though.
Narita seems to be focusing entirely on Baccano and DRR at this point. He basically takes turns writing them. Haha.
Ehhhh. They definitely have a similar out-there quality to them, but Muromi-san's OP was also godly and incredible. Watamote's OP doesn't really live up to that.
...Huh. I love KanaHana and I love Onodera, but my brain is having some serious trouble reconciling the two.
