I've never seen Gargantia but a contestant made this character for some contest about the show. Something like whatever character wins gets to have a cameo in an episode of the show.
A person named Sai made this character:
Your probably asking me "why are you posting a character that doesn't really matter Mr.Gintoki313?" Well the reason is... dat hair. I've been waiting forever for someone to make that hairstyle on a character. Last time I saw this hairstyle was during Myself;Yourself with Asami's
. It's nothing huge but I like seeing it.

I didn't notice that at the time because I hadn't had enough experience with animation to tell okay animation from shoddy animation but I do remember some people complaining about it at the time.

Well in a way. It doesn't really get any more perverted or lewd.

I'm pretty sure that a number of people who made the episode were seriously obsessed with planes of all kinds. There are a number of insanely detailed cockpit shots and lots of 'shop talk' about air brakes, adjusting wings etc etc. I imagine they had to have some visual source material to produce such a detailed work.

Yeah. Don't mind me =D Maybe I get numb from the pain! First season was still good...
So sad, We agree on so many things and yet iM@S makes us bitter enemies. It is such a terrible show for doing so and I can honestly not recommend it to anyone lest they be dragged into horrible war.

Looking at a random page of the manga, I guess I should be the one to say that 2d > 3d.

Le Chevalier D'Eon 3
Why not shoot? Okay they might not be straight up normal zombies, but the rules of fighting zombies still apply, D'Eon. They might be victims but they're dead. Wreck 'em.
Ok what? How did you know that Robin? And why is no one calling you on it?
One thing I'm liking about this show is the art. The animation and artwork is pretty good and definitely avoids the designs and stuff that people like Stump seem to have an aversion to. Story-wise, I seems to handled the historical-fiction-noir-supernatural feeling a lot better than Night Raid 1931.
Okay, D'Eon, you're like the worst member of the team right now. Near useless in fights so far, both sides of you can't handle their emotions, you don't think. Durand may be cold, torturous, bastard but he's more valuable to the team than you right now.
Uh-oh.
Wow, Durand's gotta have them connections.

This better be part of some plan, Durand. You're already shaping up to be the Zelos of this series.
Wow, Durand's gotta have them connections.

Did no one here not get it?
I had to pass on it for release, but i'm hoping i'll have some extra cash to buy it soon. I think sonicmj was talking about getting it in the OT thread for it though, iirc.

Sort of. For one it's very rare to see a man in anime with this hairstyle, and also they must have bangs and hair to go with it. Most ponytails looks like this when I prefer for them to let their hair down and have some bangs to make it look cool. Kinda like this but on a male character like he has (couldn't find a male example sadly). I heard on male's it's called a rattail but the one's I looked up look pretty stringy instead of like a ponytail style.
I know I sound weird talking about hair, but it's surprising on my part to see this.
I like this style very much too.
Too bad it doesn't translate well to real life.
Pseudo side-tail bros.
I started hyperventilating and my pulse skyrocketed when my friend linked me these pictures. (ignore the shitty imgur compression) edit: fixed
I am so hyped that I was just shaking for like 20 mins.
If I remember correctly, it was a contest for pixiv artists, and yea, the premise was the best original character would get a cameo in the last episode.
The contest sounded cool when it was announced back when Gargantia was the hotness 3-4 episodes in, but now, when VVV is the talk of the town? Does pixiv still care?

I'm guessing there's no chance that the eventual UK release will be region-free, huh?

The only way we get cheap BD releases is because there's no way that they can be imported into Japan as we're on different codes, so that's very unlikely.

So, after doing some reading it seems that the Area 88 DVD's copy that I've seen is actually different to the original release in that they combined two episodes into one and cut some stuff out. Why do companies do this with their releases? Like when Gunbuster in HD was only available as the shitty compressed movie, or the fact that the Macross DYRL? remaster has edits. It's pretty annoying.
Theonik

Actually they didn't cut anything from what I read, but they did change from 3 67 minute OVAs to 2 OVAs.
For Macross I don't think we ever got an explanation but I guess the
head crushing was too much

This thread has proven time and time again that it is the contrary.
After all people have been saying to watch the E7AO Sakuga MADs instead of the series!
Direct competition!

So that was a thing.
I'd like to say I'll miss this series, but in all honesty I'll probably have forgotten all about it once we get into the next season. It didn't leave a particularly strong impression. That said, I still enjoyed it for all the tasteful(???) lewdness (I swear like a full half of this episode was
), the rampant fetishism (hey guys what if we have the hero
) and the sweet romance between Kiri and Iwai (the fact that this somehow doesn't contradict my previous point has to be some kind of twisted miracle).
...Oh, also, that exposition about how the Order Made were created was pretty disturbing, huh. Dayum.

It's very frustrating because they are essentially just free advertisements.
It shouldn't be a gargantuan task for me to go and watch the opening to a certain show I like online.

I'm not gonna lie the guy is doing a good deed. He just goes around making girls hair into ponytails lol. Though the creepy face can go.
Ah, I thought there could be a possibility that someone else could be making very similar ones. Much appreciated your response, Rayearth!
Quite the meeting of strong personalities there! Cool pictures, many thanks.
He definitely should check out Girls und Panzer as well!
Well, the situation seemed to be more convoluted than that. When talking about this, Mr. Hosoda has been very polite and discrete (like on this very interesting interview for Le Figaro Magazine... sorry, only in French... why doesn't more people ask him about juicy topics like this one?), and mentioned his stay at Studio Ghibli like a "positive experience" overall, and "don't connecting with the staff" as a reason for his departure, blaming in part the inaccessible structure created around Hayao Miyazaki, and not Mr. Miyazaki himself.
He is just too respectful of Hayao Miyazaki's figure and that shows (while keeping mention of him as original inspiration up to this day), so I'd still consider that opinion as biased, based on his view on Mr. Miyazaki expressed in a such a good light... after all!
Now this is truly a critical (and viciously so) man. He has something for everyone, Mr. Hosoda included:

You see that 7Th? It is the reason why they had to get rid of Mikoto!
A Senyuu S2 simulcast is also forthcoming from Crunchyroll, though since they did the first season that's hardly a surprise.

I really am getting sick of this OP. It's so bad.
God, Albert you're so juvenile. Oh yeah, Corvo, I'm really feeling those gay vibes from Franz again.
Fuck yeah the Count continuing his smooze-and-seduce plan, it seems. Like you guys said, he really is the Original OG. Dude is so fucking smooth. Oh baby.

I heard it once and then just skipped it thereafter. When you think about it, it's just more time keeping you away from The Count.
Looking really good! And the LD-BOX style of the Japanese release is so gorgeous... all well worth the price, in my opinion. People enjoying it since two days ago even, lucky ones!

Will watch but will also probably be disappointed if they don't have the OP again.
