Not every show can be JoJo.
Prisma Illya 2wei 01
The pan up to the bridge from the water looks the same as it always did back in "oath sign", but here it heralds a return to a more peaceful place. Where the order of the day is not murder, but swimsuits and intimate ice cream sharing. Tatsuko, you are kind of amazing in your insanity. The ley line issue was a good way to reintroduce the characters, and I love Illya and Miyu's sparkly new double transformation sequence.
The ending is alright, and the picture book visuals are cute.
The parallels to the main F/SN story are pretty obvious from the get-go, and here they're not exactly making it a mystery. Also looking forward to seeing where this one goes. Especially now that I have more knowledge of the Fate franchise than I did last year.

Played to the sounds of Luvia and Rin nearly drowning.

After scanning through some of the OVAs and Movie, even if it doesn't end up being this, the show looks kinda neat, haha.

I enjoyed it myself despite my dislike of the MC.
So, back to business, nameley underage animated girls shaking their asses. Why did I just watched underage anime girls shacking their asses in the camera? Why can't they just be simply cute 
Well, anyways, now I am ready for the second season.
Fate Kaleid Liner PRISMA ILYA 2wei! 01
I first thought it would just be the OVA, but I actually don't know anymore who their classmates are. I am so glad that there is the new edit version of Psycho-Pass before the second season, or I might have forgotten every character expect holo squid until then.
The transformation sequence did get 100% more graceful with the screaming and bickering, I love it.

I'm watching ep 7 ATM , so far if you dropped it at ep 5 , there is nothing that will change your mind so far later.

One more guy and I watched the entirety of Brynhildr already. It was glorious. We kept laughing about it here you missed it.

That Nanan show was really weird. At first I considered it quite enjoyable but... that anime just doesn't really know what it wants to be? Like the plot is all over the place, there's suddenly a lot of background for pretty much every character and it becomes very shonen-y. Just ergh. Then it seemed like they were keen on adding an, unfortunately super generic, villain before the season's ending.
Well and then it ends without much really happening (don't we love that -_-) and was overall little more than an noncohesive mess.
I kinda liked the basic premise with the ghost girl and solving her mystery, as well as some of the characters (even that stupid 'trap' stuff was actually kinda funny). But the show was just too blown up with all it's side plots and characters. Guess that's most likely because it's the adaptation of a somewhat big anime? Wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

Yes it does (to me at least). The ending was really to be desired though. Wish they did more.

Fate Kaleid Liner PRISMA ILYA 2wei! has to be one of the silliest names I've ever seen.
ArcSys is laughing at that name.
Its almost as unpronounceable as Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel.

I actually thought for a second that it's legit, but then I remembered where the uniform came from and a look at the url made everything clear.

The clothes the guy is wearing there suspiciously looks a lot like the level one uniforms from SAO.
Hmm....
Edit: Beaten, I guess.
Double edit: Nevermind, I saw the URL this time! Lol.
Did any Japanese animation production use OXBERRY equipment for registration? Those punch holes on the sheet correspond to their own format (http://www.cratersoftware.com/images/historie/ctp40_pegbar_holes_en.jpg).

Cute and strange. They give really interesting answers to those life counseling questions. Also has a decent bit of fanservice

Short answer: no.
Long answer: if season 2 happens, sure.
Fuckkkkkk, I would have loved to shit on that abomination of a show with you guys. What a complete disaster.
This is a pretty decent summarization. When R_ is done ill post my analysis.
It doesn't really increase in quality, it gets murky.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply he was inexperienced in general but as the head of a project. I looked at his resume on ANN and he is certainly a veteran of the industry. Also I might be misunderstanding what a "chief director" is.

I can see that anime resume for some animators.
Experience:
-animated the running scene in "that one train anime that is actually about girls"

Kino's Journey 13
Well, that was unfair.
I'm not sure what else to say about this episode. It does a really good job at building a calm atmosphere. I like the gentle sunsets and scenery of the town. It sets everything up well for the conclusion.
There are a lot of bonus OVA episodes I haven't seen yet, but this is a really special series, and it's got a level of quality that's impossible to ignore. I feel like the direction rarely draws much attention to itself, but it's exceptionally well-handled. Kino's Journey is a show that balances a lot of tones, and things frequently turn for the worse. It could easily have become some kind of sadsack procession of melodramatic misery, but everything is done with the awareness of the show's central theme: "The world is not beautiful; therefore it is." We're asked to find meaning in the tragedy through understanding Kino herself. Why does she keep traveling? What is her purpose? I feel like the final episode makes that pretty clear.
This show is an absolute treasure, a must-watch for any serious fan of anime.

The foreshadowing just makes things worse.

Ryuugajou nanana no Maizoukin - 07
Well that was a very good episode :
I had actually a number of screencaps to choose from but i settled for those 4 .. so much to talk about !
The advice was actually nicely done and the fact that she isn't a dumb plot device helps.It's too bad that she is stuck to this room and can't appear elsewhere in the appart it's a waste of plot device.
Well as for the nanana treasure i was actually right ! it wasn't hard to guess but it's still ok to be right ! I did misunderstand the MC motives but all is right since it had the intended effect.
Anyway, the meat of the episode was actually the fight.
The change of pace from each step of the fight was actually very entertaining and teh fight itself was very nicely animated. So far all the ninja fights were actually nicely done and i enjoy this.
We get more insight on how that underground ninja world works as a result and i'm actually glad to see things unfold in this manner, everyone is still having things to hide and i'm still very pleased by how everyone is playing dumb and going along everyone despite the fact that everyone is hiding something. Damn i hope there is a suitable payoff for this.

Nanana , well i can't dislike her ... i can't dislike someone who watches star driver , plays Phantasy star online or virtua fighter.
Kiraboshi !
Damn that was a reflex

Master detective is actually not acting like a detective at all ... as much as i like the dynamic between Her and the MC , something still prevent me from enjoying it..i have no idea why or what ATM.
What was it with spring and flags ?
Secret skill: bragging to make one drop his guard: IT's Super effective !

Well That was convincing in a way..the MC seem aware of his limits , but also aware of his goal and what he wants to do... i guess that means MORE BETRAYALS. Damn , maybe an emotional rollercoasters ? I guess i'm getting hyped for the next episode.
Damn that's convincing !
I'm still reluctant to watch the show since I bought and read the Light Novels. Could all be the german translation or maybe it just works that much better as anime.

Somehow protagonist manages to look even more generic in his single picture.
But at least I can finally make my arkward hoverhand Otaku look at my totall real waifu photoshop and become hoodking of the internet.

It is my greatest shame but I've never actually finished Kino's Journey. I started it like 5+ years ago and never got around to finishing it.
This has inspired me to try again.
I thought so too when I first saw him credited in Cardfight Vanguard.
But that's probably why the Japanese call him (the fighting game player) Umehara, instead of Daigo.
so with no prior knowledge of this story i'm gonna guess...
Redhead = tsundere who eventually falls in love with protag
Pigtails = shy, possibly childhood friends with protag (whom she's in love with)
Dark hair = Cool, famous, probably belittles protag all the time (and falls for him at some point)
Blonde = Mysterious, maybe evil
and falls in love with protag
Oh, I see... yeah, it could seem that way, although I have total confidence in Mr. Ōtsuka's capability, which leads us to the description of the role a 'chief director' has, who most probably acts as additional supervisor for the 'series director' and its work.

Redhead wins because she is the tsundere redhead. Pigtails stops trying to get MC because she's happy just seeing him happy and doesn't want to upset redhead.
hmm sounds interesting
Nice art. Completely not related to FSN. But cute anyway.
Yessssssssssssssssssss
Contest:
The image above is part of the master background for an anime. If one of you can tell me where it's from, I'll get you tagged in a good way.
To be clear, I don't know where it's from. A friend who works for Heritage found it listed as "anime background." He's trying to mail it down to make it available for auction.
I figured if anyone could come up with an answer, it would be you guys. If you already have a tag, I'll owe you one.
Ohhhh. Thats nice. The style seems like older BG art, and since its cel its pretty old like Jex said. Its nothing I recognize though.
I dont know but I really want it too! Saw some stuff on twitter that seems to be from it.
Its a really short animation project. Part of a student thing or some.

Knowing trigger this is going to be the opposite since people will expect exactly that
Since it's a Light Novel adaption I certainly won't bet against that, Trigger or not.
If someone would like to post the image in another fora, you're more than welcome. I don't care how you get the answer, I just hope someone finds it.
And, since I mentioned the cel my buddy found of GE999, here it is:
That's so hot.
Wish I could have splurged on some of the mononoke hime cels linked a year or two back.
