Magimoji Rurumo Episode 1

I hope its simulcast time wont be as late as it was last night as that time is too late to be watching something slow like this. Though he is kind of pervy he is at least very well meaning and understanding of people to know when to quit and do the right thing so that makes it pretty enjoyable. Second half was better than the first just due to the nature of events and

using magic

.

Fun.

Never change animeGAF's hyperbole about anything CG related.

I actually don't have a problem with the CG myself, I loved Knight of Sidonia, its just I don't automatically gush at something because Studio Ghibli made it and nothing about that trailer seemed all that interesting.

 

[Basileus777]

Jexhius' reaction to Ghibli's transition to Glorius CG Future...

It's time to stop calling it the future.

 

[cajunator]

CG

It didnt look bad to me.

 

[mankoto]

Ni No Kuni 2 looks neat.

First look at their upcoming TV series Ronia The Robber’s Daughter.

I have to be honest, I expected much worse.

Though this may be due to me playing a lot of Tales games and being used to this kind of thing.

Ni No Kuni 2 looks neat.

Graphics seem to have taken a hit though.

It's a story of a girl and a boy of rivaling robber clans that live in a castle that was split in two by lightning on the night of Ronja's birth. (pretty metal)

There was definitely more material than "yay Scandinavian forest" even if that's a part of it.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I hope crunchyroll remains stable today.

 

[mankoto]

Graphics seem to have taken a hit though.

As long as everything else goes nicely it should be okay

For those unaware of the Tales series, this is the kind of CG anime I have to put up with.

 

[Jex]

Terror in Tokyo - 1

Decent start. Not so much a fan on the interactions with the bullied girl, I wish she was more angry and irrational and less pure hearted anime girl.

Who says she's pure? Stop imposing your own views on others!

I kind of like it. By no means perfect, but charming.

The Ghibli Brand is finally over. Maybe next decade!

It’s over, period. Ghibli lost their last ace, and that’s the end of their anime hopes and dreams.

It’s not hyperbole, it’s not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for Ghibli. Miyazaki and crew have nothing left, nothing they can reveal in the future would fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for anyone, hardcore or casual, to substantively invest their time in a Ghibli project. Except if they want to watch The Wind Rises. Which will also be surpassed by Pixar at some point.

Ghibli took the reason away that anyone would NEED to see a Ghibli movie over a Pixar one (except HIDEAKI ANNO LOL ANIME), and the cavalcade of old titles that will be nice but won’t stir up any sales or Oscars.

There may be some hardcore fans that stick around. Some did for Gainax. But the last bell tolled. Maybe next decade.

The age of Ghibli is done.

 

[Moral Panic]

Who says she's pure? Stop imposing your own views on others!

She definitely came off that way, but I guess we don't really know all that much about her inner thought process. I just think the shy, pretty, bullied girl is a bit played out, I'd rather see someone like the girl from Onani Master Kurosawa.

Hm.
I hate the internet, this is most likely a parody of the "Ah, CGI eating our children"-comments, but I am not quite sure.

Hey guys, I hear people have been chanting my name. What's up?

Haha the game didn't look that bad, and it wasn't the graphics that was the problem with the game there lol. (Actually I didn't mind the story, I actually really enjoyed Grace >_>)

I understand that it's acceptable because it's a game. That I agree with.

But ask yourself this. Would you accept an anime entirely in that CG? Probably not. I was just making an example as to how bad the CG future can get when that Ghibli trailer honestly didn't seem that bad to me.

I embraced Ars Nova. It was still bad, but I believe that CG can be the future. It only needs more time to evolve.

[AquaWateria]

Seems pretty interesting from what I've read about it. I think I'll give it a watch as soon as I finish with Gintama.

Speaking of which, I'm really enjoying it so far! Really funny stuff. Loved the episode following the Shinsengumi on a TV show.

Man I can't wait for you to get to the Yoshiwara arc and Red Spider Arc in Gintama. You'll find the best girl of the whole show I guarantee you.

Strike Witches OVA



Surprisingly (thankfully) light on the lewd, more concentrating of the general concept of the show in the first half.



This was the highlight though as its effectively a Strike Witches version of Gunbuster Science Lessons complete with Sakamoto as Coach! Consequently, I learned a little more about the world via the production sketches and chibi cast dialogue.

Wouldn't call this essential viewing but it's not entirely without merit.

It's indeed super interesting. If only familiars transferred into the TV series but what can you do? There's this too, which I find hilarious every time I see it.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Reiji Kotobuki (of QUARTET NIGHT) utapri fans, even with less items compared to others, still got great bday love.

 

[MikeHattsu]

I thought it was already understood Polygon Pictures were doing/assisting the animation.

Nothing like finally seeing it in motion I guess?

Digimon Adventure: 03-04

Quickly going through all the characters to get their Digimon to evolve once more. Formulatic, but still enjoyable.

Maybe its the nostalgia talking, but I really don't like Japanese TK. He's way too much of a baby and less of a young kid. Again, might be the nostalgia talking, it's been nearly forever since I've seen the first season in English.

 

[Ice Lightning]

WTK has re-posted some images of Sentai's LE boxes for Chunibyo's Numbered LE Deluxe Boxset and Beyond the Boundary's Super Limited Deluxe Edition Boxset.

At least the naming is fancy.

Black Butler: Circus Arc - 01

Now unlike Sengoku Basara: Judge End, this is proper retcon/reset job.. so glad have the show back again, I love the setting and character of this series, and the funky gothic mood.. very excited to see this arc adapted.

 

[cajunator]

NOW I will buy these two.

Terror in Tokyo - 1

Decent start. Not so much a fan on the interactions with the bullied girl, I wish she was more angry and irrational and less pure hearted anime girl.

Er, not sure where you're getting that? At one point in the episode she says "I wish everyone would just disappear." Being timid and quiet isn't the same as being pure hearted.

 

[Ice Lightning]

NOW I will buy these two.

I will too for the amazing surprises, and a few more adjectives.

I'll be picking up the Chuunibyou one, at least. Art looks pretty cute! I wonder what kind of extras they'll include? Hoping for soundtrack and artbook.

I think novel was much better than anime itself, dunno about 2nd season yet tho.

Yeah, she has some real issues that I thought were clear. Intentionally ignoring all the texts she was receiving seemed to support that as well.

 

[Jarmel]

Someone mentioned earlier that Lisa(TiR) had an eating disorder. I viewed it as panic attacks. What do you guys think of that?

 

[Caesnd]

I wonder if the Ronja series is Miyazakis revenge for not being allowed to animate Pippi Longstocking.

 

[Chariot]

I'm with you there. She was about to puke and flushed the food suddenly while she read the messages.

 

[duckroll]

Doesn't seem like she has an eating disorder, seems more like she has a problem handling social interaction of sorts. The pool scene, how she reacts to her mother's messages, needing to hide in a bathroom from time to time - obvious anxiety issues. I think in a way it's similar to how the guy in Kids on the Slope needed to "escape" to the roof too.

 

[SliceSabre]

I'd love to see that.

 

[BluWacky]

Someone mentioned earlier that Lisa(TiR) had an eating disorder. I viewed it as panic attacks. What do you guys think of that?

Personally I saw it as a panic attack. She reads the messages from her mother - is she overly smothering but loving, or is she keeping despotic control over her? - then feels sick so throws away her lunch. She seemed set on eating it, even if she was going to do so on her own.

Yeah, I thought she was just hiding to not be bullied. I imagine the bullies throwing her lunch away or put something in, if she sits in the open.

This confuse me for awhile and thought you talking about certain anison singer.

 

[mankoto]

It looks like she was hiding from her bullies to me. Her mother pestering her didn't exactly help so she had an attack.

Sword Art Online II 2

I enjoyed this episode more than the last but I don't really like how they go about showing you shit and don't really explain the many intricacies of the game. The animation looked cool I guess. Judging by the pace I can see this taking roughly 14 episodes.

 

[duckroll]

Yeah, I thought she was just hiding to not be bullied. I imagine the bullies throwing her lunch away or put something in, if she sits in the open.

Is she even really being bullied, or does she just have problems responding and expressing herself?

What show is that?
