As expected of mai waifu.
Comes out on my Birthday too. A sign?!
They are... Interesting. I think you will find some enjoyment out of them.
A minute of non-stop Miyukichi?!
God speed.
Inertia yo. #AnimePhysics
I think Aniplex must have been involved fairly early on, they were probably aware of the studio hijinks too.
Also, KLK had several hundred people work on it. Bloated as fuck production. But of course when Imaishi was in Gainax nothing was actually made and everything was in pre-production so there is no need for many people at all.
HOLY SHIT. AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH
:Lucas :Kojima
They didn't 'mess it up' the script changed. If anything this is evidence of Jex's theory as we'll ever get.
Best episode is one of the few things I voted for in that joke of a award show. Glad my top pick was runner up.
Even he knows how good it was.
Watching Kirito be completely useless at saving everyone, SAOSuicide.gif and to top it off the conga party that bursts into his room at the end sining Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer while he is trying to mope. Ah, good times.
Also I like how the US site made a big deal about announcing the results at the con when the Japanese site already revealed the winners ages ago.

And the fun comes to an end for now.
I liked this last 'video game' battle, but not so sure about the rest. Yeah, there's some funny bits and references, but all this explaining all the time. Either if it's game rules, how they planned stuff or how they managed to win there's always lots of mostly boring explanation. And everything always goes according to plan, even when it seems that they misjudged or didn't think of something it's always "Oh, we planned to do that". Not liking Sora much either because of this, it makes him look like a smug ass, even more so than Keima in The World God Only Knows if I had to compare him to somebody. A lot of the other characters are alright though. My viewing situation isn't optimal, so I couldn't hear the music most of the time (maybe I would have enjoyed it more then?). The OP and ED sounded alright though.
Feel a bit conflicted since it started to get better at the end, but I give it 3.5/8 game pieces:

I'm now wondering whether the errors we're noticing in the story had less to do with Nakashima and more to do with Imaishi not keeping a tight control on what was going on.
I mean come the fuck on at this. This was like the pivotal scene.
How does something like this happen but take so long unless everybody was smoking blunts in a room and saying,"Yo dawg you know what would be awesome, some girls nekkid and the clothes are like aliens. Sexy time for everyone".
This pretty much sounds like how I imagine Imaishi in particular works, so...
I want that scene in the making-of!

Sailor Moon Crystal 1
I liked the eyecatches. Not the music or the CG. But other than that. it's like... the first episode redone in this new style. I don't know why, but Umino seems more annoying now than before. Maybe because I don't want to hear him at like 2 in the morning.
Mamoru's voice seems to be working well (but seriously Ms. Bump Head? Crunchy pls) We're seeing some Ami next time, and hey, Usagi is still talking about a bald spot on a cat. It's the Sailor Moon I recall experiencing last year, that's for sure.
And the fact that Tuxedo RAMASAMA did less was also great.

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 1:
That was, pretty good actually, and certainly less shitty then I was expecting. Yea, it still bears some of the sores of the troubled production and questionable direction but this was still a pretty good adaptation of the first episode. One of the most striking things I found is how faithful the original anime episode 1 is to the source material given how much that would change. Also, I don't want to strangle Crystal Usagi as much, that alone is worth the price of admission.

No toast, 0 out of 5.
That was actually better than I was expecting. I haven't watched Sailor Moon in...at least 10 years so I don't have a super direct comparison but it was fun to remember the bits and pieces in my mind. The transformation still looks pretty bad but the rest looks fine. Should be fun to continue this and then watch the original after.

More like they spoiled the end of the first half way earlier than intended.
A fuck up is still a fuck up though. It's why we all knew who it was before the show itself figured it out, after all.
Episode 1 of the original anime is on Hulu so you can make a comparison pretty easily if so desired.
I'll probably do some sort of marathon thing when the full release happens.

Accurate reaction after watching such a great episode with this bullsh*t twist
( oh no , i lied to you and the puzzle is not what you think it is )
Yeah but you can't make a hot spring scene because anna.Phi Brain S3 23
Another all girls party at a hotel
and no hot spring scene?!
(not that i mind )
This season of phi brain was much fanservice.
ratzel was great overall , but enigma sucked , enigma lasted too long and his reveal, his motivations sucked. JIn momenty were fine , and his orpheus moments were awesome... it's just too bad that the pay-off weren't as good as one would have hoped when you compare it to S1 and S2 finales.
S3 did provide several tag matches and some very great battle royales.
The pyramid puzzle was great stuff and the jin deadly puzzles most entertaining. So the highlights were very phi-brain like.
It was a great season, better than S1 IMO and inferior to S2 even if both had IMO lackluster finales after all that build-up. S3 just leave a bitter taste AFTER that ep 24.
You have that awesome time labyrinth with all those possibilities to MAKE the perfect ending and you just throw that away ? I get it that puzzling is fun , but that's not what i expect after 3 seasons. Especially when you used the same them for S2
But phi brain is well worth the ride regardless.
Utena - 02
Forgot to post my impressions yesterday.
One thing that I noticed now is Ikuhara's used of triggered music. In Mawaru Penguindrum, it was
and here, we have the
. I guess the difference is what while there may have been no meaning to
, it doesn't seem to be the case in Utena. At the very least, the song seems somewhat prophetic (certainly ominous).
Also not sure if I should make anything out of the colors of people's hair. Might be a red herring (i.e. it's nothing but typical anime trope) but let's see. Yes, it's already 2 episodes in and I'm noticing the recycled footage but I honestly don't mine (yet!)
One thing I find a bit odd (not sure if it's intention) is that while clearly a bit oblivious to everything, Utena
. Why? There was no real indication that she was aware
.
Wakaba is great.
Next episode looks interesting. Btw: should I avoid the next episode previews when watching this show? Is it as bad as Legend of Galactic Heroes where absolutely fucking major plot points can be spoiled?
Did I mention how deliciously 90s the OP is? I love it.

Arn't they a little young to be drinking and getting hangovers?
Jarmel's Anime Expo visit is the gift that keeps on giving, nice!
Add to it that creating a studio's infrastructure at the same time multiple works are devised skews a little the usual perspective of what a "normal" production (by normal I mean what we actually know through examples, like in the famous 'Bamboo Blade schedule' one) should be.
I think we should make a distinction between planning stages, pre-production and actual production of the content to make the situation understandable; Mr. Ōtsuka already explained that concepts about this project were being thrown around since the last Mr. Imaishi & Mr. Nakashima collaboration in TTGL, but lot of redoes were in tow with such complex prospect and clashing of crazy ideas, and TRIGGER Inc., didn't establish a full production team until Spring of 2012 (http://www.studio-trigger.com/special-1.html). That makes sense of the difference in time spans being mentioned.

Now, I have only watched the first three episodes, but doesn't that make Ryuuko out to be a huge moron?
Reassuring to hear that, thanks.
For me the initial episodes were a bit too much on the slow side but I thought it really picked up by episode 5. If you like it by now you should love the rest as it only gets better. Though don't get your hopes for a very conclusive ending as the anime only adopted about half of the manga.
Kyousougiga 8
For a moment there, I thought this is gonna go full Madoka on me. Phew
I'm starting to run out of words of praise to laud this show. It's been on a very consistent streak of great episodes since the fifth and this one was no different. Greatly paced, with lots of twists, turns and finally some long awaited answers . My prediction about Inari being an impostor suffered an ignominious defeat. :lol
Finally some insights on the Shrine but thankfully they don't seem to be your traditional villains.
I can only hope that his help in getting her out of her slump won't mean she will feel obligated to fulfill that twisted promise.
They grow up so fast...
Sailor Moon Crystal 1
Loved everything except the 3D transformation.
It's actually almost exactly like chapter 1 of the manga (I have the whole collection), except she doesn't have the mask when transformed (which has the power to see when someone's in trouble). I enjoyed it, and look forward to 2 weeks time for the next one.

stylish. I like it. Best girl doing impossible things.
Interesting..
I will shorten that series to TiT
Shaft is the greatest. Most intriguing studio that exists. You never know what to expect. I love that.

And the fun comes to an end for now.
I liked this last 'video game' battle, but not so sure about the rest. Yeah, there's some funny bits and references, but all this explaining all the time. Either if it's game rules, how they planned stuff or how they managed to win there's always lots of mostly boring explanation. And everything always goes according to plan, even when it seems that they misjudged or didn't think of something it's always "Oh, we planned to do that". Not liking Sora much either because of this, it makes him look like a smug ass, even more so than Keima in The World God Only Knows if I had to compare him to somebody. A lot of the other characters are alright though. My viewing situation isn't optimal, so I couldn't hear the music most of the time (maybe I would have enjoyed it more then?). The OP and ED sounded alright though.
Feel a bit conflicted since it started to get better at the end, but I give it 3.5/8 game pieces:
Damn. I have a much different view of the series. Loved it completely.
Lumiere would be so proud!

I thought a lot of people were high on this show? I started it last night and the first two episodes have not done much to grab me.
Its pretty awesome really. Takes a few eps to get into gear but the stakes get higher.

Carpazzo x Ceasar might bump her up to second after Peperoni.
Automotive and volleyball son.
I'd say more Trigger but yeah it does. I can't even remember why she thought it was Satsuki on the first place apart from seeing the shadow so changing it to Nui makes the first 14 episodes moot.

Hayate No Gotoku Oav A
All HAIL Norio wakamoto as the narrator !
BEST NARRATOR EVER
i could have giffed that dream scene but i don't wanna trouble but gooddam if this wasn't great. N.wakamoto is trully the BEST to give a voice to objects..trully a master of his kind.
Best part of this episode was without a doubt the hinagiku part complete with the tease that we'll NEVER see the athena arc fully animated ( Seriously guys ! that's what OAVS are for !! ) but it doesn't matter since the hinagiku curse side story is on screen !!!
Remember , anime leads ! Always knock before entering !
I don't want to flood the thread with gifs , so Here is to you , cajun! : GIFT
Dat Oav was awesome, wanna make me read hayate manag all over again !
This episode , the excited and depicted animal ears motions when hinagiku was talking was perfect. GIVE ME MORE

There's a few here who didn't like it that much too. Guess I'm one of them.
Those are second and third place. I mean, automotive club has the goodness that is Hoshino and Volleyball club seems to touch my weird festish for sport uniforms, but History club is great all around.
I also love Prez very much. She is great. This MMD fits her well.
But it get's messy when it comes to international level (or national level, I dunno). Brits are certainly the best school, closedly followed by the russians and their kickass song.

bakumatsu rock first episode... gghghghgh CLEARLY not for me.. thanks but no thanks japan...

Well, that is how they made Black Rock Shooter TV after all. Imaishi just isn't a good director. Sooner people accept that, the better.

Hello Community
That's my first time here. I want to get back into anime a bit. I used to watch a lot of them 8-10 years ago. Then I decreased their consumption and now I'm trying to get back into it. I've read the (great) OP and I'm gonna try Space Dandy because Watanabe. I'm looking for epic grand story sagas like CB Bebop (#1 ever for me) or Gankutsuou or Code Geass. The most recent animes I've watched are: K-On, Higashi no Eden (dat Oasis feel), Gurren Laggan, voilà.
