Space Battleship Yamato 2199 Episode 17
Guess Ill try to finish these set of episodes today to round out end of season time. Enjoyable episode and even suspenseful there with XO Sanada...
I would like the Dessler plot to seek resolution soon, it is rather compelling to see both sides face some type of internal disputes thought of different levels of seriousness.

Completely thought we'd have our first actual crew death. The way the backstory was done with his bestfriendship with Mamoru Kodai and unspoken feelings before he went off was sweet, and almost like they wanted to confess to one another (Niima had even been broken up with anyway). Thought back to the actual plot and not my headcanon, what would happen to one if exposed to neutrons, would they actually vaporize like that?

What is Ditz and Gimleh even up too? Poor Domel. If I was a Gamillian I would be concerned more about the Yamato than trying to attain command of the empire...
I saw the first one. It was pretty adorable. so theres a second now? Will watch.

No, don't be sorry. I embrace the shit eating future.
It's insane. For an episode where literally nothing happens, the tension hangs in the air like the most suspenseful horror film ever made. The opening scene is five god damn minutes long, and unlike Attack on Titan which uses five minutes to recap the show in order to fill time, each second of those five minutes feels so purposeful and exacting. Even the placement of the OP is such a perfect beat, because it differs the release of that tension for a further 90 seconds, before we get an extremely powerful and beautiful release.
Then we get a god damnSpoiler but not really: http://i.imgur.com/mQMLfspl.jpgflashback montage that spills into a preview montage, culminating with the biggest event from the manga and ending with quite possibly the most exciting cliffhanger title card that I've seen in ages.
I just can't believe it. I talk about adaptations that are slavish to the manga and don't take their medium into account. Aku no Hana just spits in the face of most anime adaptations, playing with the form and using it to tell the story in the way that is best for 20 minute television. Each episode feels like a masterpiece, culminating in a thirteen episode series that is just glorious.
If there are people who dropped this because of the rotoscoping or whatever, then I'm sorry. They missed out on what is basically the Hyouka of thisseasonyear.
But Aku no Hana was really good.

The second one has been subbed since January yes.
Aku no Hana is the Citizen Kane of anime it seems.

Citizen Kane was also misunderstood on its release!
Dont call Aku no Hana boring!

Wrong about Metal Gear. Wrong about Citizen Kane.

Well this was pleasant. After all the hometown screengrabs when this first aired, I worried the show went off the deep end but it seems there was another attempt to sort of integrate the fanservicey stuff within the confines of the show. I can somewhat understand why it's there (and arguably why not?) but I'm glad the show didn't lose focus.
Really like the slow integration of Ledo into their society as well. Something very satisfying about it.

Huh. I didn't realize up to now what a great cast Neptunia has. Rie Tanaka, Asami Imai, Kana Asumi, Rina Satou, Kana Ueda, Yui Horie, Eri Kitamura, and Yui Ogura? Damn. If I wasn't already down for this show, I would be now.

Do it. Anyone slightly interested should as well.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 Episode 18
Giving time and attention to the other crew members and some development for them has turned out to be one of the more memorable aspects of the aspect. Shinohara had and has an interesting past and personality so his little bit and the action it gave was a nice refreshing moment from the main six or so.
Though I wanted resolution and I got resolution, that was excellent.
Enjoyed the action and the plan and the explosions as usual.

Goer must be recognized for his personality and deed, my favorite of the Gamillians, and Dessler too. Zoellik when he saw the reveal and getting all flustered was hilarious.

The wave motion cannon going and everyone bracing for it, the presentation made it look more than the typical anime in terms of visuals. I was impressed

Usagi Drop Specials 1-4
Huh, didn't even know these existed. Wonder if I'm missing any other OVAs/specials from other stuff I've watched.
Anyway, these were great, as expected. Especially 3 and 4. And it's funny how these 4-5 minute shorts made me smile more than just about anything I've watched in a long time. But I guess that's what Usagi Drop is. Just one of the happiest shows ever.

That's more of a Gainax fan thing than a Gainax thing. And this is pretty blunt already.

In a way this is awesome because I don't need to worry too hard about the VGCW Video I'm doing.

Gargantia 13 (end)
Why couldnt the whole anime have been like this. It was so good, intense, explosive, and fast. Everything in the air was so exciting.
.
7 / 10 anime, Nothing could really live up to the first eleven minutes of the anime until the final episode, and there was quite a bit of questionable choice in content and delivery of it. I would have liked a bit more archaeology shared and actual mecha fights that werent with worker yanboros. Cast was pretty weak in design as well, only could actually get behind Ledo, Bebel, the one operator-kun too (darker skin tone). May buy if its dubbed potentially.

Even the neuroconnection stuff and how it made me think Ledo would really sacrifice his whole life for all of Gargantia and what not. I do think the Chamber ejecting him and what not was kind of dumb and unnecessary though, but it is a nonhuman, so its lose was just ungood. I love Ledo's outfit there at the end, finally sporting fitting clothes for Gargantia.

People born after 1950 need to stop pretending that Citizen Kane is good.

The question then becomes, does tofu look like boners or the other way around.
What are the implications for the Tofu scene in the RKB OVA?
Oh man.

The first season was good enough to get me to keep up with the manga, and hell, I don't really consider myself as someone who really does. I enjoyed it that much. Also with regards to your one complaint... S3 practically

There's no pretending involved. Citizen Kane is legitimately a good film.
