I thought you were on team Senhime Zesshou Symphogear G...
Via routine source for KyoAni related news and information ultimatemegax, some images from a new PV (apparently only via a smartphone app in Japan) for the Chuunibyou movie:

Best female character gets best best voice. Hope Shaft does character songs?
Oh this certainly has potential!

Maybe utapri can reach 70k. I think Attack on Titan will not have as much. STARISH ftw.
So glad maou sama is popular...maou/ashiya must be a huge factor

Liking best girl's hairclip. :3
Eh I don't think 70k is out of reach for Shingeki... I wouldn't be surprised if it's numbers reflected something like Macross Frontier and did mid 70's vol 1 and than fall to 50kish after that. Except the Nitro+VN volumes in 3 and 6 will be closer to vol 1 for obvious reasons....
And Uta Pri is going to drop like a rock with the non event ticket chance volumes are released, sales where cut in half for the first series.... dem fujoshi's buying multiple volumes are nuts lol.
You upto date on both? Which one you like better? Any of them approaching end game?

Hahahaha. I thought we confirmed my life was 3D anime like half a year ago.
Sadly no, but I do know that Durarara is approaching an end game.
Baccano has left of an overall guiding plot, so he has a lot more room to play around in the world, jump to different time periods etc. I personally prefer it over Durarara, but I like them both.
Baccano is just on a different level for me though.
Are you typing on an iPad? I ask only because lately my iPad keeps trying to insert full stops followed by capital letters in the middle of my sentences just like this. I guess I must be double-tapping the space key by accident or something >.>

Guys I watched Little Witch Academia again just now to make sure it was still awesome.
Don't worry. It still is.

I find cuteness in unusual places and situations. Her clumsy angry embarrassing situation is precious imo.
Nope. Samsung galaxy s4 phone. Guess it does same thing.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Just watched this myself and my god I don't think I have ever been this infuriated by a fictional character.

Watching anime in 1080p is a whole other beast then watching it in usual SD. Crunchyroll sure does have everything together. I might have to switch from my Funimation Channel sub to a Crunchyroll sub because that 1080p definition doesn't lie.
Not so much endearing, but it does evoke empathy.

That cold water paper cup voiced by Tatsuru Tatemoto (@Trigger_Tattun)... from PR specialist to 'seiyū' star!
Shoulda seen how fast it was funded. Pretty incredible.

Glad to see Maou do well.
Also didn't realize Date a Live sold so well too. Can't wait for S2.

I watch it for the plot!
Ano Hana 01
Man, serious business all up in this joint. Changing relationships, childhood trauma, ghosts who might not be ghosts and some god damn excellent direction. Main character is really excellent, in a kind of awkward massive psychological trauma kind of way. Definitely will catch up when I'm in the mood for some serious stuff and I get done with Kids on the Slope.

so sad mainly because I found the goddess arc and the current one to be super dull. Manga was way more fun doing the whole kissing girls thing vs shounen adventure arc.
It was fun to be part of it. Apparently that little film REALLY resonated because holy shit that got funded so fast.

Went to sleep when it was around ~40k

Really only took 6 hours.
/a/ got into it and it took off.
Errr.. its the old one that about Kenshin flashback, didn't care with the new OVA lol
Is the movie a recap?

The movie is a summary of the first season of the show, as seen from Rikka's perspective with new elements.
Gundam SEED Destiny HD Remaster 14
The episode starts with a recap of the last one which takes up like 3 minutes or something. Stahp, pls.
Overall, this episode was FLASHBACK CENTRAL. Nothing happened before the last 3-4 minutes, they were too busy showing us how the entire relationship developed plus some useless stuff (random footage from the last battles of SEED and whatnot).
The wedding was terrible. Cagalli's makeup was just as bad I remembered. We also get to see Yuna's real colors: he's a fucking wimp and went from a grating creep to being simply terrible, especially when you know the shit he'll pull out in the later episodes as the incompetent commandant of the Orb fleet.
Kira really is such a boss by the way, managing to desarm MS without causing any significant damage to the MSes, the wedding ground, nor injuring anyone!
. Also, I have to say that in retrospect, the scene where he bids farewell to his mom and promise her to come back is pretty funny, since we now know he'll end up
.
... Now that I think about it, SRW UX missed a big opportunity by not treating the new positions of the characters at all. We're only said know that Shinn and Luna
and that Lacus is indeed the
Athrun is back to being Cagalli's bodyguard and Kira's situation isn't touched upon at all IIRC. I suppose Banpresto wasn't allowed to mess to much with the characters and that's too bad.
The opening switched to OP2, which is PRIDE from High and Mighty Color. I really liked this opening so I'm glad it's intact. There were very minor differences from what I could remember of the original. I only noticed a weird pack on the Strike Rouge, and for some reason they put some smirk on Meer on the frame she appears among Athrun's harem lol
The ED is the same one I love, except the song has been remixed a bit. It was a bit inferior IMO, but not a very noticeable change to be honest.
Next episode is the one where Athrun goes to Orb with his shining new ZAFT Mobile Suit, somehow not knowing Orb signed a treaty with the Atlantic Alliance. The people in this series are fucking braindead.
Yep, this series is pretty bad.

On another note, the commercial break after the episode had an ad for the new Gintama movie. Gintoki was saying "If you go see this movie, the wind won't rise but your boner sure will" lolol
Also, they're making a new Code Geass blu-ray box with 5.1 audio? Way to rip-off people.
