I'm blown away. But really in reality we all knew they wouldn't keep their promise. Is it really that hard to follow through on your words. I just hope that they will eventually stream the anime.

wait seriously? I might have to get hummingbird so I can stealthily add all of my monst- errr secret anime.

Yeah. I don't use it to list hentai, but I do have some secret anime on there. I think it will be manga where its more important (they are just starting to add manga support) for me.

They have about 3 hours (CDT) to come through with that update. Really disappointed with how this series is being handled at the moment, at least for viewers that cannot watch it on Crunchyroll.

Thats another advantage of Hummingbird, it has private and public flags for entries so you can list embarrassing entries without regret.

Uhh I see, so basically your saying you make extensive use of this feature. Lewd!

Edit: Oh okay it's just that guilty pleasure animu you have hidden.
 
Madoka Magica - 1

Just some random thoughts on this episode:
  • Madoka's brother (Tatsuya?) is great.
  • Everyone has fat heads.
  • Homura is only a temporary enemy.
  • Those ribbons aren't too flashy, Madoka.
  • Another teacher with an awful love life.
  • Madoka's mother seems laid back.
  • Kyubey (sp?) is also great.
  • I don't like the OP.
  • I like the ending.

Overall: decent so far.

Well I wouldn't say 'guilty pleasure' so much as things I have watched that I'm ashamed about. Like Akikan and KissxSis. I only watched an episode or two each but for some reason need to list them.

As for hentai...that doesn't really work for me. I don't really get aroused by animated porn. Plus japanese porn is a bit too rapey for me.

Has there been much of a backlash against Yuasa's episode? Narutogate (episode 167) sticks out due to an unfortunate confluence of a history of 'quality' in that show, the kind of viewers such a show attracts, and the rather debatable quality of the animation itself, but from what I've seen on GAF, responses have been overwhelmingly positive with maybe one or two exceptions. Perhaps it's different on, I don't know, fucking youtube. But I have faith that in some of the best cuts of the episode - dat Ohira - even the 'uninformed' could see, and feel, innately, the talent and skill involved in its creation.
There hasn't been a significant backlash that I've noticed, just enough in different places to get me irritated. I think there was enough plainly beautiful scenes in that episode to ward off that kind of talk in general.

If it gets real good I may also finish before I go to bed :p

Good. Now watch the next episode.

You probably noticed but my "review" was meant for episode 1. I edited my post.

You haven't seen anything yet.

How many girls will there be hitting on Madoka!?!?
 
Oh my goodness!

I haven't started the show yet and everything is PERFECT!!! The disk is pristine, there's actually an image for the show on the PS3 when the disk is in and the menu is awesome. NIS America went all out!!!

NIS just aquire everything!!!! Or at the very least Hyouka. This is legit amazing!!

I'm wondering...has a date for the US BluRay set of Eccentric family been announced? Also does NISAmerica normally region lock?

I thought something was amiss. Doesn't change my original statement. You probably will finish it tonight. I finished it in one sitting with no shame.

Nah, not gonna make a MAL. Don't feel like trying to put and hundreds of anime and manga I've watched and read on it.

Its a lot of work admittedly.

Did you add yours truly?
I see two accounts who both don't look like you.But it's fun to insert data and give scores.

Im not sure. Whats your mal?


added

I think you're the third person to ask me this. I only watch my anime in it's original, purist form! Not really but I've already started sub and I don't really want to switch midway now.

I somehow have an 80% compatibility with Cajunator. Somehow I thought it would be much different. (How does it determine these metrics any ways?)

hehee <3
I think it has to do with how you grade stuff.

are you guys even doing a watchbet anymore? Cowboy Bebop should not be a watch bet.

It should be a watch now. Period.

This is true. Though not everybody likes it.

You monsters :,(

I am trying desperately to watchbet with anyone, but nobody wants apparently and the people who offering, offer only shows I already watched.

Ohhh Im sure I could come up with something :3

Sailor Moon 21-22

Animators can't change the storyline. That sort of thing would've been decided in the script long ago, the basic storyboards laid out, and the voice actors already starting to record the parts in accordance with the rough cuts. The worst that Hiromi would've been able to sneak in is something like in The Rescuers getting parents' groups up in arms. The amount of animation required to actually kill off a character would be too much work even for the god pencil. Also Viz didn't get the astral reference. But in spite of that little twist in the plot, 21 was a nice episode, I always enjoy these meta looks at the industry.

I heard from my friend 22 was the first manga-based episode in some time (and also what we'll be getting for Crystal after Rei), though the Naru/Nephrite stuff was purely added by the animators. That was also a fun episode, even with the iconic/odd moment of the Marry Poppins-ing that Usagi did from the fourth story window. I'd like to believe that
in her future Moon Kingdom
, Ivanovich is the name of at least a city-state, or perhaps a prefecture. She can make it real if she deems it so.
 
Toradora 1 (DUB!)(Toradorable)

Blu-Ray 1080p goodness. Awesome Blu-Ray menu. Dub is really good.

This is the best purchase I made all year. Thank you based NIS America. The commercial for Wagnaria 2 was pretty funny too. I may just buy it just to support NIS to bring over more! Never seen Wagnaria though.

Anyways the dub is awesome. The quality is amazing. Buy this box set!
 
Madoka Magica - 2

Not a lot was interesting this episode. If they don't want to be in danger, why not wish for invincibility or something? I don't think it was explained why you need your Soul Seed (is that what it is called? I am awful with names) to be bright. I guess this will probably be explained so, with something like if it turns black you become a witch.

For a moment there Madoka and Mami had something going. That makes two girls for Madoka. Someone said earlier episode 3 is when it gets good, so I will continue now.

Maybe if it takes much longer they'll just let CR stream it to North America, since they already have english subtitles for it after all. I was almost thinking about subscribing to them, but stuff like this makes me just want to wait for their stuff to go on Hulu.

FUNimation could have at least stated so if that was the case. The tweet stated they would have news Monday, today, and nothing came of it.

I wonder what the holdup is.
