I don't think I'll touch any of the Eureka 7 "related" shows/"sequels" now....

I've still got such a long way to go in my backwards Precure watch. Approaching the halfway point of Suite now, and after that, I have legitimately no clue what to expect, as I haven't done any research before hand like I did with Suite and Smile to figure out which to watch after Heartcatch.

Watamote 02

Tomoko's nervous shy mumbling is one of the most adorable things Ive ever seen.
I cant relate much to her at all but anyone going through something even remotely sinilar to her, youve got my sympathies.
that hat she was wearing.....damn.
So SO cute!!!

I see Corvo got around to watching th movie. Good job. Glad you liked the Renton and Eureka dynamic. It was really nice to watch and offered a somewhat different but still relatively the same perspective from the TV series. =D

Rejoice zeroshiki, someone is subbing Amachan. I'll watch the first few episodes today.

Woah, thanks for the heads up. I will watch anything written by Kudo Kankuro ANYTHING.

Also, I guess I had no idea:

So unlike other male actors, he seems to be able to do two voices. Dat range. lol

In my head I'll always think of

Which if you're imaginative enough is a great way to improve -monogataris
 
Crunchyroll is like the best site ever for what just happened. It was my birthday yesterday so I was away from my computer, or either watching the steam sales. I come back on my computer to watch the new anime that free users could watch on CR, and I'm surprised with a 30 day free trial from CR.

EDIT: Nvm, they just asked me for a credit card :( Darn it! I was praising them so much too. I can do a 30 day trial anytime I want if I'm still going to be using a credit card in the end.

Happy not-birthday anymore!

Wait, I thought I was watching an anime, not Peanuts.
Chaaaance to post about this music video of Paul Desmond's standard 'Take Five' sung by JUJU:

JUJU - Take Five (2013) - MusicPlayOn.com
http://en.musicplayon.com/play?v=279124

Key animation from Yoshinori Kanemori with animation production from MADHOUSE, as part of their designation as official production studio collaborator for the animation on Peanuts properties (http://www.madhouse.co.jp/news/news_2012_01.html).
 
Tamayura ~hitotose~ - 01

Fu-nyon is a middle school student who had previously locked away her feelings following the death of her father, but she comes to understand the warmth of the photos he had taken and starts photography again, asking to use her father's old camera.
Fu-nyon sends a letter to Riho who responds with a train ticket with no destination? After deciding that she'd like to go to high school in Takehara, where her father was brought up, the whole family decides to move there. After saying her goodbyes to Chihiro(she's such a good kid), with her presents(?), Fu travels to Takehara where she meets with Kaoru.
And now I remember who Kaoru reminds me, it's Erika from Ginga e Kickoff!!

Mo~tto Ojamajo Doremi - 05

SOS Trio forever even if they happen to
be separated into different classrooms...or not
, can we throw the SOS Trio under a bus already?
The newest addition to the SOS trio
, Satou Jun...?
Some extreme tsukkomi training, and redemption at the end...or not, at least now Asuka understands japanese comedy.

Mo~tto Ojamajo Doremi - 06

It's time for the first
Patissiere
Exam, but more importantly I want
to see Hana-chan again, please please please
, Majo Miller?
Hana-chan Fight-o!
;____;
It's been only hamsters this season, is it Hamtaro?

Mo~tto Ojamajo Doremi - 07

Thank you Oyajiide, thank you!
She's back!!
Can we keep her for the rest of the season? Not. Then let's compromise and show from time to time.
That music Momo-chan...I don't think the ABCDEFG (sore!), quite worked, or worked at all.

ONE MORE DAY UNTIL THE TRUTH

Oh, lol. That's fine outside of the
shit they pulled with Eureka at the end.

Yeah. The last few minutes disappointed me. The part when they were in the mecha was really sweet to see though although very sad. T_T
 
Isnt Cure Heart the main one though? Of course it would be biased.

Considering how much of a big deal I make out of Heart bias, it's a different story. There's generally some bias towards the main character, sometimes it screws things over for the worse (Max Heart and Suite comes to mind), but here it goes too far with the bias, and makes everyone else look worthless. Alice being the most worthless.

She's so boring that the next episode is about Sebastian. That says volumes on how much they screwed up with Alice.

I'm reading the book version of Seijo no Kyuusai (The Virgin's Salvation? I don't know how to translate this) and it diverges pretty heavily from the drama.

The drama version is alot more simplified but because of that, its different enough that I'm not bothered by the changes. Yuki Amami is incredible as Ayane Mashiba though.

Next up is the movie. Manatsu no Houteishiki (A Summer Equation) is great.

[quote="Awful Falafel, post: 71050591"]Woah, thanks for the heads up. I will watch anything written by Kudo Kankuro ANYTHING.

[/QUOTE]

I am tempted to say that Amachan is the best thing he's ever done. Its just so heartfelt without getting overly melodramatic and it has his trademark humor.

Just started watching Gen'ei wo Kakeru Taiyou , Man fell in love at first sight, usefull/bad ass lolis are best lolis, everytime they explained the backstory I was buying it in instantly.

Any of you guys know more shows like Madoka Magica and this one? cute art style but bad ass at the core?

*sigh* Every time I go to the Precure article on JP Wikipedia to refresh my memory about the various series and movies, I get depressed by that blue bar representing the sales figures for Splash Star ~.~

Truly there is no justice.

Home has been without internet for the last couple of days. Tis a dark time indeed, not sure being able to watch my animu.

Maybe I should start watching those The Wire DVDs I've had for a while now. Or get back into Breaking Bad.

You probably should watch at least the first two seasons of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.

For a different kind of "badass" - and probably not the one you're looking for - you want Princess Tutu.

("Senhime" is an ugly mix of on-yomi and kun-yomi anyway, it doesn't even make any sense. If you want to misread it, at least go all the way and give it a full kun-yomi reading. "Ikusahime" would sound kind of cool xp)

Funny you should mention that, not only in light of Nippon Ichi's recent announcement, but I vaguely remember the term being used back in My-Hime...

So when should BONES be announcing Space Dandy? It's almost August and they haven't even formally announced anything for Fall.

I know a lot of people will hate me but I still haven't watched Nanoha, I know is great but is like I can't for no reason haha I'll give it a try again.

I couldn't get through Nanoha because of the terrible hair. True story.

I watched... a season and a half of it, I think? I know everyone thinks As is the best season, but I'd got bored of the cutesy slashy moeblobs and the action wasn't good enough to keep me entertained by that point.

But it's very much in the vein of what I think Step's presumably looking for.

Yeah I'd go with Nanoha. First season is all right, second season is amazing.

I think its famous for the militaristic aspects and/or the magical girls fighting each other schtick which MyHIME most likely does better along with better character designs and :sdburton.
