This is pissing on a grave. Spinoff for a series that hasn't had a new anime in 20 odd years hardly matters in the grand scheme of things.
At least that's in the spirit of the original. I dunno WTF I just watched in this new show...
Yes, Legend of the Galactic Heroes is definitely one of the few almost perfect shows that I'd rate similarly.
Are you interested in watching the 50 or so episodes of side stories and prequels?
Not nearly as good as the original, by any means, but they should help if you really do want to see more of that world.
Share Gipsy Danger stuff. tia
Well, for what it's worth there's still the live action movie coming out this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r56XwTGidsU
Something for everyone between the movie and show, I guess, rather than some either/or proposition where you only get one.
Someone on reddit is mad.
Well, it's the truth. People have actually seen Evangelion, Gundam and Code Geass.

This was an honest to god magical boy transformation. Amazing.
Not too bad. Introduces another new demon to join our main characters's harem and other stuff happens. It was amusing.

So, knocking off some stuff from the new season backlog (*stares suspiciously at previous season backlog)
Gatchaman - 01
I saw the original G-Force anime. It wasn't exactly the height of animation. This was pretty good. It has all the Nakamura Kenji trippy hallmarks. The action was good too. I just hope this doesn't turn out like the last time Nakamura and Tatsunoko has tried to do an action anime >_>
The speech pattern of the girl is kinda annoying though (I've never heard anyone except delinquent boys use that style)
Fantasista Dolls - 01
I should have listend to duckroll >_< I'm getting old, I think. This was garbage. I liked the character designs and that's pretty much it. Based Goro has betrayed me. Nothing is explained, nothing makes sense and the main is a bumbling idiot. I don't know who this was supposed to appeal to. Maybe, the people who used to like Cardcaptor Sakura? I mean, they nearly copied Sakura's design for the main.

I spotted some good animation in that little skirmish. Hopefully they can keep that up, because there's going to be a lot of fights.
I still like the manga sound effects and the presentation in general. There's some creative direction here and there, though it might be a bit more subdued than this series deserves. Also, there are some scenes where the VAs speak way too softly. Other than that, good episode.

So there always seems to be "character X and Y switch bodies" episode, though probably not as often as I think. I enjoyed it, mainly because Kero and Shaoran are pretty much polar opposites in every way. Also they're different species. That always mixes things up a bit. Best part was when Yukito pointed out that Kero (Li) had rather red cheeks for a plush toy. Also when Shaoran (Kero) was running on all fours while playing soccer.

regarding the whole thing you mentioned, her mom always came off as very trusting and laid back. It makes sense in context.

This episode seemed to be all about introducing the groups and really setting up the school's Tankery club. I like how the teams have their own distinct identities, like the volleyball team being very gung ho and the whimpy freshman team being dependent on NeoGAF. New girl Yukari is totally adorable when she nerds-out on Tankery and I'm wondering if the lazy girl on the side of the road is going to get run over. You can't stop me, cliffhanger! I'm a proud Marathoner and nothing can get in my way for more Tankery!

Ice-skating episodes are usually awesome. This was no exception.
Had an alternate version of "Catch You Catch Me", which really would make any episode worth existing purely by itself. But I just like ice-skating animation. I think Sailor Moon was the first thing to make me love it. I don't know. The Clow Card scene was made great with the skating as well.
Though I have to say, assuming that was a Celsius thermometer, these kids need to toughen up a bit. Can't handle below freezing temperatures? Back in winter in Connecticut, we called that...well we didn't call it anything, because it was every fucking day.

One Piece Film Z part 1
Dead eye staring from Robin. That part actually reminds me of something I don't exactly like in anime, in where the character that isn't getting focused on remains still, no matter how silly their posture is. It doesn't feel lively, it's like at times, only one person can act at a time. Considering this is a movie, this isn't something that should be in here.
That being said...
We start off with a fight scene with revolver cameralot, which I enjoyed, even Kizaru appeared, and actually lost a match (well not really). And I enjoyed how the Straw Hats got decked by Z and friends before setting on an island.
LOLI NAMI EXISTS AGAIN, fanartists are rejoicing. Sanji is too, being excited to be near Loli Nami to see her "blossom". *shivers*
AOKIJI (Think I got that right)
graces us and doesn't share info on his state of anything, and everyone else is doing whatever, but we see a display of Luffy's Haki, which was a nice treat.
Time to continue as we left off with explosions.

It really is incredibly lazy but it actually doesn't bother me in the least bit. During all the recycled stills I'm either enjoying the music or digesting the dialogues/monologues. Petty distraction? Low standards? Maybe, but for me it all works. I'll take cheap quick cuts and recycled stills over things like recycled henshin sequences because I'll at least get some new audio content to chew on.
Take that Mahou Shoujo gaf!
Also I wonder what other Animegaffers think is SHAFT's best work, I'm sure Madoka would rank pretty highly. I'd probably go with Soredemo too but Arakawa S1 doesn't get nearly as much love as it should.
Dokidoki 24:
There were Rikka NTR tears, so I'm satisfied. Also pleasing: Meguca basically telling everyone that they fucking suck and that her authority is inviolate because she saved their incompetent asses. Any character immune to Mana's bullshit is a good character.
However,
next week is going to be the BEST EPISODE IN THE HISTORY OF THE FRANCHISE AND RETROACTIVELY JUSTIFY ALL OF MY SUFFERING. The concept is so inherently amazing that not even Toei can fuck this up, and I am the last person on the planet who would normally make such a claim.
Damn am I tempted to watch dokidoki now, but surely batman/alfred precure isn't as good as bancho precure right? RIGHT?!
I don't think this denial is working, why do you guys have to tempt me with something like this, do you guys enjoy watching people suffer?!

I should've noted it was an impression. I've done this before with other movies, but split those into 3 parts. I'm going with two because this movie is rather long. About the length the All Star movies should be considering the shit ton amount of Cures they have, but lol Toei.

Oh snap, who'd a thunk Mako was a genius behind the wheel? I'm totally enthusiastic about her lack of enthusiasm! Getting up at 5 in the morning? Forget that noise! I'm surprised they managed to pull the win. Not very familiar with tanks, but the the other teams went down pretty easily. From the five minutes I spent in the World of Tanks Xbox 360 beta yesterday, I thought the worst possible place to hit a tank was the front, but that's pretty much what they did. I dunno, all I can think about is the actual match that's going down next episode. Well, that and this dance that's apparently really embarrassing. Hype!

I dunno, all I can think about is the actual match that's going down next episode. Well, that and this dance that's apparently really embarrassing. Hype!
So I don't want to derail the thread with myself overmuch, but since I DID cause one last night, I feel as a member of the community it is only right that I make some apologies and show that I learned a more valuable lesson than my youtube channel might make it sound.
The short version of the lesson is that Hitokage is smarter than me.
The positive side of this coin is that it provided me with a good chance to reflect not only on what I'd done wrong, but how I'd come off to others. This was not the first time I'd done something like this, and being sent to time out to think about what I'd done was well complemented by seeing others spell it out for me without the slightest sugaring.
This was a good analogy both in the sense that it let me know I wasn't alone in feeling odd about it and in pointing out to me that this was a good chance for me to see what others thought and what I needed to fix. And I will be frank: I need to fix that short temper of mine.
This I feel especially embarrassed about. I confess I worded what I said on my channel poorly, and I see why, coupled with my behavior last night, one would get that impression. So let me take this chance to say that what I learned was a little more concrete than that. I took things too far. I don't blame R for it. I needed to exercise self-control and walk away from something that was bothering me more than it should have if I couldn't prevent it from bothering me.
I am sorry not only for the confusion, but also for coming off as an arrogant ass and also last night's melodrama. During which I cannot blame others for seeing me as such, since my behavior was, well, that of an arrogant ass. So again, I am sorry.
Except for this. I thought we were bros, Peaceiscloser! Cajun didn't replace me in the space of a night! Hahaha.
I could just be misreading this, but I understand that my posting in caps can get annoying, and I do occasionally try and reign that in. I want you all to know I don't use capslock, though. I lovingly caress the shift key the whole time I'm ranting. In any case, I apologize for that grating part of my attitude, and will continue to attempt to not make it a larger part of myself on GAF.
So before I get back to my anime impressions, let me again repeat that I'm sorry for what I did last night, and that I have recognized in myself the problem, and will endeavor going forward to fix this problem.

Staz running around spraying everything with his spit was pretty amusing.
I really enjoyed the jokes. I also really enjoyed the action. Great mix of both and miss space girl is a fun addition to the group. This show is great.

The anticlimactic nature of The Second Raid's ending is because the story doesn't actually end there. Besides that, though, which is fairly understood, what did you think of the series?
Attack on Titan 14
Although there was less action than earlier episodes, there was a decent amount of things going on. Which made this episode fairly good, in my eyes. The plot advanced, and something other than people doing nothing happened. Time wasnt dilated for the sake of saving money, I suppose. There was a good deal of people standing around and talking, and some stock footage, but I think we can all survive that.
Bunny Drop 11
The toothpisode. Daikichi learns a valuable lesson in what my own time means to parents. He also copes with Rin losing her baby teeth and losing a competition. And of course, Daikichi is so Cannot Spit It Out with Nitani that he basically went grocery shopping with her son and all. I cant believe the series just ends there, though. The manga will probably crush my hopes and dreams, but in my head Daikichi and Nitani definitely hook up in the future.
Looking up spoilers for the manga reveals that it was a good idea that the anime ended where it did. That is literally the only thing I can say about that. It never happened. Nitani and Daikichi got together and raised Rin and Kouki. The end.
Madoka 10
(For reelz this time)
Since Ive again seen some complaints with regards to my LOLWTFBBQsauce responses to these episodes, I will endeavor to get through this episode without a single WHAAAAAT, WUT, OH, or any other lengthy capslock post. I assume that between the time I watch this episode and the time I post these impressions I will have posted an apology and explanation for such things, but as I realize they still serve as a nuisance to my fellow members of AnimeGAF, I will try to at the very least keep them to a minimum.
Ah, so now we get to see Homuras past. A timeline in which she was also Madokas friend. Alt U Madoka has a funny lisp. Alt U Madoka smiles WAY more than regular Madoka, too. Seeing Magical Girl Madoka in the alternate timeline more or less makes it clear that Madoka wont ever become one in the real time line, though. The scary part of this episode comes with the realization that in this timeline, Madoka did become a Magical Girl, and that means not only that Mami has survived, but that Sayaka did not become one at all. In other words, Homuras interference to save one person cost the lives of two others. Oh, nevermind.
The weird thing is how different Madoka is in this timeline. Is she more confident because she became a Magical Girl, or something else? Because Madoka 1 is a pouty wet noodle, and Madoka 2 is a confident, friendly girl. Oh, I wonder if Madoka is wussier as a result of Homuras wish? Youll want to protect Lara Croft and all that. Also, the Soul Gem emerging from a girls chest is in no way reminiscent of guitars being pulled from peoples skulls in FLCL or swords from chests in Utena. And just like in those cases, it definitely is not suggestive. No sir.
Oh. Oh my. This isnt the first time Homura went back in time to save Madoka? How many times has she done this? Has this poor girl been caught in a loop? For how long? Teehee, threw a grenade up a skirt. A lot of times, apparently. Thats horrible.
This scene of her gathering some serious weapons to try is hard core, though. And of course Sayaka would not believe that Kyube used and tricked them. And Sayaka turns into a witch every time? That certainly explains why Homura has given up and tells Madoka to do the same with Kyube. If you think youve been down every possible road, it must get frustrating after awhile.
Bit of a tangent, here, but I wonder if, stuck in his eternal time loop like he was, FFIs Garland/Chaos did not feel a similar kind of frustration after spending so long dying at the hands of the Light Warriors? Maybe he wanted saved, too.
WOW. I mean WOW. Wasnt expecting her to have to do that. Thats . . . this explains a lot about Homura, actually. This reveal has been very well done. Whoa, suddenly were back to the beginning of the show. Does this mean that Madoka wasnt dreaming? She was remembering the last timeline? I mean, when Homura first experiences it, she compares it to a dream until she sees the Soul Gem in her hand, so what if Madoka remembers it, but doesnt realize it, since she has no physical evidence and since it is so outlandish she dismisses it as a dream?
OOOOOOOKAY. I know I said I wouldnt use capslock, but this is something that bears discussion. As I mentioned like, last episode, Kyubes plan inherently puts the world to waste. What bothers me is that, confronted with that truth, Kyube shrugs it off and says thats not my problem. I mean, hello? Didnt you give a speech earlier about how the various civilizations in the universe were wasting energy at a hilarious pace and rapidly consuming and destroying the universe? In what way, then, are you not doing the same by wiping out a planet for that sake? Especially when this planet houses a species which can produce the emotional energy your race is using to save the universe.
I cant actually accept that Kyube would be so incompetent as to throw away a world which produces a species which produces the very energy he will need. Quota or not, Earth serves as a treasure trove of energy, and at the very worst, youd be wise to keep it around in case you needed more. The only possibility, then, is that Kyube isnt actually doing this to save the universe. Even removing Domon Kasshus point that destroying a part of nature is not the way to save nature, Kyube is wasting something he could continue to harvest. I can only conclude that he is either a terrible employee who never cared about his job (in the which case what was his motive at all) or he is still a satanic force, and destroying the world was always his objective, and everything else was part of his plan to create the strongest witch. After all, if Kyube eats the Grief Seeds, then does it not follow that he could hope to eat her?
Playing the OP at the end of an episode that essentially explains a series of events that all take place prior to the beginning of the series was a nice touch.

The Devil Works at McDonalds 1
Picked this as my follow up to Bunny Drop. Odd, but there you go. I really like that the beginning of it seems like an homage to the old, hyperdetailed fantasy anime of yore. Reminded me of Record of Lodoss War. The action sequences are better than SAO by a country mile, too, though I dont expect there to be many of them in this series.
Theyve adapted to life on Earth pretty fast to be referencing Super Size Me. I mean, that movie came out at least five years ago.
And since youre all wondering, after only one episode, Im kinda leaning irrationally in favor of Red > Pink. Mostly cuz Red looks sorta like Cordelia and Pink kinda looks more like Chibi Sailor Moon. But yeah, there you have it. Not bad. This version of the devil seems considerably geekier and nicer than (SPOILERS FOR OTHER SERIES
The Devil Gundam or Kyube.
Same thing afa this thread's concerned. If you have the time to pause a movie and write about it, then you have the time to watch it in full which is the way it's supposed to be viewed
The last thing this thread needs is even more anime liveblogging nonsense.
