kirito wishes he was as good as onii-sama
Persona 4 - The Golden Animation 01
I didn't see the first anime, so I may celebrate what has already been done. I really liked the opening scene, the music and the transition of days. Also Marie hnnng. I have to stay strong, I am the Chariot after all, Chie my only P4G queen, even when Rise and Marie are around.
Zankyou no Terror 01
The positive notions here on GAF did certainly not disappoint. A very strong first episode with nothing I could complain about.
I just have a question, what was the content of the messages of Lisa's mum? They were visible on screen, but sadly not translated. Did she worry about Lisa? Did she tell her what to do with her life?
"I can see the ending."
No, Yu! Stop Social Linking everyone!

Soon time for lunch, right?
Are you getting along well with your friends?
Does the lunch taste good?

Why did you leave so early today?
It's important to eat your breakfast, you know.
Are you at school yet?

Take care.
Be careful out there.
Did you eat your lunch?
Did it taste good?
Were you headed to the Tokyo Government Office today? (NB: Unsure about this one, not clear on what exactly a 都庁 is)
When will you be finished there?

When are you coming home?
Will you be able to come home soon?
Dat overprotection.
It's hard to tell what the context is for her annoyance at the messages, but they're basically and endless stream of "concern". Basically stuff like "How's school?", "How are your friends?", "Do you like your lunch?", "Isn't it tasty?" etc. Lisa definitely seems to have some psychological hang-ups about the relationship. Either she finds her mother too clingy, or maybe it's a step-mother trying to get closer to her and she doesn't like it? We'll see.

Hm... Only seen 3 Shaft shows so far. Pani Poni Dash!, Madoka and Hidamari. Really like 2 of those 
Same here.
That's in my backlog. Same with a bunch of other Shaft shows.
Good luck.
A few of us didn't
Have to wonder if that one Nichijou scene was inspired by Kanon... And it's the Key+KyoAni show with the best comedy IMO.
Hm... How does the 3 episode rule work with Steins;Gate? Isn't there people who like the second half, but don't like the first half? I liked it all though.

It doesn't really work IMO. Still struggling to get past the episode with Feyris sodding NyanNyan. I know it's supposed to have an awesome plot eventually but I find Okabe obnoxious, the childhood friend borderline vegetative in her mental capacity, the fat nerd is a fat nerd etc. It is also, as is well documented by now, very unattractive to look at.
Sorry for the rant. It frustrates me that I don't like Steins;Gate when so many people rate it highly. I love time travel stories, but I just can't like this one.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Have we received any official wording from Funimation in regards to Evangelion's 3.33 Blu-ray release? It's taking forever ;.;
Furthermore, where is Code Geass and Escaflowne? I'm eagerly anticipating their release. It's been a year since the announcement, and yet I haven't heard anything.

Summer Anime 2014 Part 1
Summer Anime 2014 Part 2
I'll finish the day with some of the more interesting anime of this season.
Terror in Tokyo 01
I fell asleep halfway through but I think that has more to do with me being dead tired than it being uninteresting.
Tokyo Ghoul 01
I have many questions that have yet to be answered.

An intriguing anime. Not much to say other than it has an interesting premise and could show promise in future episodes.

Tis a cruel fate of losing ones humanity and trying to retain it.

Terror in Resonance 1
Hmm, interesting. There's definitely enough mystery here to keep me watching for now. Either the girl or the ex-detective are going to have to be pretty strong characters to make this work though. I can't relate to or empathise with a pair of terrorists that don't have any real cause or driving reason, as of yet at least. Even with their mysterious back story I don't think they can sustain the whole show without some sort of adversary.

Wait, you're watching the TV series? Why?
Damn you finished 16 different anime's episode 1 in one day? I don't think I'd be able to do that for all 3 week ahha. I'm sure you can already narrow a few off the watch list though.
Nah, the 3 minute gag anime.
Going to go back and finish the TV series eventually though someday, mostly out of sheer curiosity and to make better sense of why nearly every compilation movie sucks except for the 0079 movies.

I may have gone a little overboard today. My brain feels like pudding. (especially after my second post) I think I still have 10 or so more anime to go through before I finish ep1 of everything this season has to offer. Hopefully my stamina will have regenerated by then.
So much anime, so little time. My plan to watch list of previous shows has like 7 anime on it, and this isn't counting the new season shows (which I probably won't take on more than 3 or so this season.) Once I finish Fate/Zero it's on to Psycho-pass and Idolmaster
Tokyo Ghoul 2

I'm currently on episode 42 of something I kind of started 1 day ago.
And it's just glorious.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders 14
I love that I can't tell if Joseph is just straight up bullshitting when talking about how well traveled he is. Uniform gag was pretty good too.
Otherwise, atmosphere was fab in this. Kinda got the same sort of vibe from the OVA adaptation of this part but it didn't make me feel nearly as uncomfortable as this did. Horror stuff in this first group of eps has been too fun.

Yeah yeah, all stories are derivative in some way as everything has been told already. Still, there are degrees of derivativeness and execution and presentation influences how samey or not can be something. But truly it's not my main complaint of the episode, my main complaint was the total suspension of disbelief that needed, starting with the assault at the nuclear processing plant, which in a way the first Die Hard movies had more verisimilitude. In addition to that, the concept presented for now doesn't seem very original, which solidified my negative impressions, because if at least it was something novel I could forgive the other flaws or look at the other side. It was just the cherry on top.
They are going to need to explain a lot of shit in the next episodes.
I suppose expectation play a role. I didn't know anything about the story, but I didn't expect it to be about super-criminals.

I get what you're doing here. I am impressed and amused.
Watanabe cites 24 and Sherlock as some of the inspirations for the approach in the show. The assistant director Tachikawa previously helped Death Billiards for Anime Mirai. The show is about domestic terrorism in Japan. Sounds like you only have yourself to blame!
What else would one expect from a premise based around two teenaged terrorists?
Sengoku Basara Judge End 1
Ieyasu so badass. Lost it when he shounen upped there. Hanbei/Toyotomi stuff was pretty heavy given the show it's in but hey, whatever turns Mistunari up to 11 I'm fine with.
Otherwise, production values feel like a step down. I mostly recall the previous two shows looking great and really consistent at that, this is kinda all over the place but whatever, bring on the antics!

Hehe
Shes trying to bite his face right there.
Its all so confusing >_< I still miss Geneon a lot though. Bandai not so much.
My parents used to be like that. Now if I dont answer my phone for a few days they will drive to my house and knock on my window. I told them to quit THAT at least.
Dont overdo it. Take a break from everything. go outside. enjoy fresh air. Maybe go for a drive. People stay cooped up inside 100% of the time its not good for you or your mind.
A lot of people on twitter are like that. It bothers me. Im sure you arent but that much anime or anything else is gonna just exhaust you.
#18 is adorable :3
she was one of my waifus at some point. Used to really like her.

Hmm, 24 and Sherlock? I didn't know that. Well yeah, I would have lesser or different expectations knowing that 24 was an influence! /nota24fan. and Sherlock is good but definitively larger-than-life and not very realistic. /blames himself
I hope ex-Detective-kun is entertaining as Sherlock.
This is terrible.
I could stop my parents by being super aggressive when they even starting to get annoying. Sure, parents worry about their kids, but there are limits.
My parents are clingy lol.
alpaca needs to come back
You're a pretty cool guy, who would not be clingy?
Eska is starring at everything!

Am just watching the first Psycho-Pass 'extended edition' episode and man... the fucking exposition is so ridiculous.
Akane, who has obviously been trained well about her fricking job I'd imagine, arrives at the crime scene and Ginoza tells her what Enforcers are and then a bit afterwards Ginoza's father even explains the Dominator again:
"You know how to use a Dominator, right?"
"I-I did receive training on it, more or less..."
Then an explanation follows. Seriously? "More or less?" Apparently so little that one of the Enforcers has to explain the entire concept again? Right...

Why thank you kindly ^o^
Its a bit of an odd setup because shes supposed to be trained how to use the hting but its a cool gadget and the audience DOESNT know so somehow that info has to be communicated. but it was a clumsy way of accomplishing that.

Quite frankly, I don't even think the concept of those Dominators is complicated enough to even require any on-the-nose exposition. Since there's a voice feedback on those things giving information about everything anyways, that would've been enough.

Oh have I noticed noticed this?
Domnator explanation always reminds me of the Judge Dredd Lawgiver stuff. It's like, just show it in action and let the audience infer what it does.
Thats true. However I didnt mind that part.
