Well, that doesn't sell me on Kill la Kill at all. Someone post impressive GIFs/webms.
Hey, there's still LWA2!

Akame ga Kill ONA 1-3
Never thought I'd see what could be a short Gaf discussion on fanservice here.

I don't dislike Kill la Kill. I even think the show is pretty good, but it doesn't speak to the quality of the staff's potential or even what they've done in the past. With that in mind, it's a bit disappointing at the end of the day.

What are your favorite shows this season?
Locodol, Prisma Illya, Hanayamata, with Momo Kyun Sword as a secret entry. And Pri Para, but that one's going to extend well beyond this season.

Lets see if that guys judgement is right on the mark. Added The Girl Who Lepth Through Time in my backlog.
I mean, he's not entirely wrong. I didn't really feel the ending at all and it was easily the weakest part of TGWLTT.
That's about as far as I'll go though
The movie's good but the ending was undeniably weaksauce.
I have a feeling that I'm gonna be reading this a lot once Stay Night airs :'^ ( ))
So here's a question. At the recent Crunchyroll AMA, the CEO said they make an offer for every show (which I guess means every non kiddy show), yet still some shows fall through the not licensed hole, such as Yozakura Quartet. Which I guess means the content owners just refused to license the show at all.
Now given probably 99% of other shows get licensed for streaming in the west it is a curiosity that some content owners aren't interested in streaming moneys. Its not like disc sales for the show will be somehow better in the west because of it.

Was distracted a bit watching this but I don't think I missed anything important. The parts I did catch were fun
There are just some things that can't be helped honestly since it's like this with games as well. There are some devs that actually don't want their game to be localized. Shame really

I'm saving those nozaki-kuns for future use.
I'm sure they'll get a lot of mileage!
thanks haly-kun
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 10
Had a feeling that girl wasn't a human but that was pretty fucked up right there.
Mikuru from even further in the future comes and gives Kyon an ominous premonition. "Snow White". For now I'll assume it means "Don't eat the fucking apple".

Jesus Christ, is that supposed to be Nakamura?

Some of the shows have international rights held by companies who don't want to stream or have a member of the committee who don't know about international streaming (it's somewhat of a weird concept to some older businessmen). It's not about disc sales, but just who holds rights and such. Hell, even Warner Home Video Japan started licensing to the West earlier this year with JoJo and perhaps Ben-to. It's not about disc sales, but just not understanding the concept/money.
There's an interesting tale behind this episode. It's the only anime-original episode in the series and the script was actually written by Nagaru Tanigawa, the author of the light novels. You can also blame Yamakan for the 3 minutes of Yuki. He says in an interview "Yuki's always waiting, so I wanted the fans to experience what she felt."
Some companies just don't care I guess. Maybe they don't get a lot of money from streaming over here, so the few companies that refuse don't think it's worth the effort. Or maybe they just don't understand streaming in the first place. Could be a number of things.
Here we go again.
Well, yes.
And a much better one.

Good evening all! If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you find a Those Deaf Mutes post so you can enjoy the lovely work of our own InfiniteNine as his new anime avatar.
Secondly, it's time to play "Guess that obscure piece of anime art someone found in a storage box" again! This weeks cel might be a little easier, given that it has a character in it. It also looks 4:3 to me.

Eureka Seven - 36
At last, some more info on Renton's sister!
In fact, it's been a long time since since Renton mentioned her in his thoughts when he was talking to himself IIRC. I like that. It's showing just how big of an influence Eureka has on him. His sister now seems like an afterthought to him compared to Eureka at this point.

Maybe it's because I never read the manga but I actually really liked The Flowers of Evil's rotoscoping. Made the characters surprisingly expressive at times.
That's how I felt. There's a lot to like about that production beyond the character's apperances.
I did too. It could get pretty rough at times (like those long shots where they have no faces), but most of the time it only helped the creepy atmosphere that the show built up. There was just something so off about the characters, that it increased the dread I felt. Very unique style, and it suited the anime perfectly. I really wish we'd get a second season.
I did, too. The body language is good, and the uncanny valley adds to the general uncomfortableness of the show. Latter effect was probably not on purpose, but it's still there.
Agreed. Having to trace over actual human actors meant that the characters' expressions and body language felt more realistic than your average anime production.
I like how they played him for laughs, but Aikuro is smoking hot man. Also, lewd gifs are totally not lewd if it's a man, right?
