Mahouka 12-13

Man, I can just taste the salt from over here.

Best girl Mayumi knowing who to truly congratulate over their schools overwhelming wins for the girls.

Not to say anything bad over Shizuku and Honoka (who looked nice in their costumes), but we all know whose the true MVP is.

Guys, I'm grateful about this thread...

I was about to watch School Days and you guys saved me...

Edit fixed

You mean school days? Cause if so half of this thread watched it out of a sick amusement lol

 

[Mr.Jeff]

looks like a hentai to me.

Well the authour of the series started off with H-Manga so it's not entirely unexpected. This probably his closest attempt at a clean series!

 

[cajunator]

Much better plane film than the recent ghibli film. That one was just plane boring.

Doggy STAHP

hmmm? whats that?

 

[DEATH™]

Sorry, fixed it... School Days it is...

Im not masochistic enough to be worthy of watching it...

It's definitely painful to watch. If you really have no plans to watch it I can't recommend reading/seeing how it ends at the least. It's beautiful.

 

[Yopis]

It's been a pretty good year for getting older anime on BD in North America. We've already had Nadia and CCS, and coming soon there's Bubblegum Crisis, Cowboy Bebop, Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service... I'm pretty happy with that, at least.

Where are people ordering stuff from? Good store so I can jump back on the train.

Either Amazon or rightstuff.

 

[Clov]

Yep, you'll be able to find all those but Bubblegum Crisis there. That one was funded by Kickstarter, so if you want one now you'll have to go on a waitlist and hope for the best.

[Space Dandy: Episode Whatever]

This just seemed really...uninspired? Well, they can't all be great, or perhaps they can't all be interesting.

 

[Quasar]

Rail Wars! 07

Bro, bro. Are you just realizing you are a harem protagonist? Come'on man! All praise to Aoi though she is perfect, Koumi confirmed for terrible person.

I almost fell out of my chair when he asked her if she was part of his harem. I don't think I've seen someone do that before.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Hot damn guys you weren't lying about the wire. Season 3 has cemented it among my favorites. The finale. McNuttys most zen childlike smile ever. Love that guy.

 

[Quasar]

Glasslip 07
Oh boy, we're changing the rules on their powers. And maybe her sightseeing is getting stronger too. I don't think she looked at glass at all this episode and still got visions.

What the heck Sacchi. I thought you were cool...

Well it was never just glass.

Bad taste confirmed.

I've saved a ton of money with the Got Anime membership too.

Shit adds up when i'm trying to build a collection.

I guess your gonna build even more with the upcoming releases of Cowboy Bebop, Haruhi, and D Frag.

 

[Quasar]

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san?

As a lover of Nyaruko-san I'm offended by that comparison.

 

[Mr.Jeff]

[Space Dandy: Episode Whatever]

This just seemed really...uninspired? Well, they can't all be great, or perhaps they can't all be interesting.

I'd be interested to see if someone makes a list, when Space Dandy comes to an end, of episodes that are worth watching. A bit like Branduil's fantastic evisceration of Non Non Biyori.
That said I appreciate it's probably a lot of work so I'll probably just wait for the Sakuga MADs and gifs to pop up.

It has been a REALLY amazing year for anime releases.

Rightstuf is your god.

They do a lot of reference comedy where the "joke" is literally just "hey guys recognise this?"

Gintama does reference comedy, but it's usually part of another joke so even if you don't get the reference you still have a perfectly good joke to enjoy. That's how reference based humour should be constructed.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Koe de Oshigoto?

what the fuck

Never trust anime gaf. I do have to say who the hell comes up with these trash anime premises.

 

[Thoraxes]

Speaking of buying anime:

Also my $1 blind box item was a brand new copy of this:

 

[Quasar]

I've only heard good about the LN's. Are they really that much better then the anime? Might pick them up for a good read. Tend to like Manga/Ln more then their anime counterparts.

I feel it is. Mostly the world building and plot. The lewdness is pretty insane though. Not in terms of intensity or amount, but the ideas behind them.

 

[Shergal]

That said I appreciate it's probably a lot of work so I'll probably just wait for the Sakuga MADs and gifs to pop up.

There's no need for cumbersome things such as "waiting" in modern times.

 

[Nothing1016]

2 things.
1) no idea why you're forced to watch things you don't like
DOES NOT COMPUTE

2) You don't like highschool dxd , it's a shame ( since i like it ) but i understand.
However.... just WATCH SHOWS you enjoy !
Dropping shows you don't like is not an option it's mandatory !!

If its animated, and I watch one episode, I'm watching the entire series. Its a curse I tell ya.

Well as a guy who I am sure misses most of the references but still finds it hilarious (especially anything kamen rider related), I feel nyaruko-san works like that too.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

A hahahaha the Cromartie high school box is fucking pure genius. Couldn't be more Queen love that show.

 

[Quasar]

He's pretending like he can't recommend it to anyone but it has dragons and it's a guilty pleasure. Why even give it a review then that show stopped being about dragons way before the ending the fact you kept watching, and your previous tastes in anime, means you enjoy the nudity and fan service don't try to pretend like you're above it.

He should like Blade Dance then...it feels like Dragonrar but with wizards instead of dragonriders. Even down to the mc with little girl partner (in this case a sword spirit who turns into a sword rather than a dragon).

 

[R_thanatos]

Indeed you are cursed.

Space dandy strenght is how each episode is unique , one episode someone might dislike, you might like , because they are made from different mold , and they have different goals.

Watching "just a part" is like missing out the entire point of space dandy.

Some episode i found boring , still had thing that other liked.. and the opposite happenned too...
Anyway , just watch it all. You cannot even hide behind the fact that you want action or well animated sequences, space dandy is full of them , at every level for different purposes.

The other covers are homages to albums too.

Shit I'm on mobile. If somebody could post some examples I'd love it. If not then I'll use the power of imagination.

Dude, the DVD looks like this:

It's so rad. It's even textured kinda like vinyl too.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Ugh. That is just beautiful. I need that in my life but I'm holding unto hope of blu ray. Even if little improves visually or audio-wise.

#believe

 

[Thoraxes]

Like I said, it was only my $1 blind box item lol. I was expecting like a piece of shit or something that was kind of a little broken.

And then it's this jewel.

If nothing shows up, make sure the "incl. Out of Print" box is checked. They aren't all Queen homages actually. I can't remember them all but the second one is The Beatles.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Looks like RWBY is getting licensed in Japan.

Haha, those are great. Not sure about #3, but 2 is Beatles, 4 Deep Purple, and 5 Happy End. I really need to watch this show at some point.

 

[Andrew J.]

That was pretty good.

Although this is still the best.

That video, and the amount of appreciation you show for it, always reminds me of this:

The upper echelons of irony should always include measures of sincerity. And if the satirical practice is executed faithfully it will achieve something bona fide in its own right regardless. Through an intense commitment bordering on religious devotion to the absolutely inane, absurd, or plain fucking stupid, a very different kind of sincerity begins to materialize. One of reverence to the ridiculous. You begin to 'mean it,' but what exactly it is you mean is never quite what appears on the surface, and is utterly inaccessible to obtuse and literal minds. That you 'mean it' then becomes inseparable from the joke, and additional rich strata of humor may be stripped aggressively from this irreconcilable truth.

 

[mhs004]

I honestly don't know what to think about this, haven't watched the show.

On one hand I hate rooster teeth. On the other an american """""""anime"""""" getting licensed in Japan is kind of cool.

 

[madp]

Looks like RWBY is getting licensed in Japan.

For the full anime license experience, the Japanese release should be DVD-only with visible macroblocking and a monoaural dub track for a random episode.

If we don't get Sawashiro, Tomatsu, Hayami, and Sachika I will hurt someone!

 

[Mr.Jeff]

Where did all your screentime go?

Dog Days 8 - END
It's kinda sad that the big climactic fight with the princess and hero, while impressive, was nowhere near as impressive as Yukikaze and the Dame's follow-up afterwards. If the series carried on with their stuff, it'd probably be more interesting.

That said, the show ended up being pretty enjoyable. All things considered not a lot actually happened really but it's telling that it was able to pace itself well for the 13 episode run.
It's a pretty much by your numbers run of the cast in terms of archetypes but there's some nice fun chemistry there: Eclair and Becky* aside.
Ending was an absolutely gigantic contrived mess but was perfectly pitched in sappiness tone that it was still good.

Final thoughts: Not really setting the world on fire but I enjoyed it despite.


*Childhood friend. Instant dislike. Depressed she's in the following series.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Hitsugi no Chaika 1-3

Pretty interesting show so far. Chaika herself is great, love the way she speaks and her little cute moments. Good action and I am liking the story so far.

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

Why would you want Miyukichi to be in another bad show?

You loved it and Eclair, stop lying! Also thankfully there's a good human in S2, a delicious tomboy voiced by Nana Mizuki so she voices a cute and an UNF.

Once you start season 2 you'll have grown more powerful than I.

Hidamari Sketch 7

ooo I like the looks of that new girl. And it looks like the landlady finally showed up. The next episode will be a school sports festival so i'm looking forward to that.

 

[Mr.Jeff]

Despite it being Kitamura Eri, I can't really like Eclair. Time wasted on a boring character when it could be spent on more fun or entertaining ones; the Galette trio for example are great fun! Can't really be dealing with "I like you but I'm going to pretend not to [punch!]" characters.

I did pick out the cousin voiced by Mizuki near the end. Also seemed kinda ridiculous that two "athletics" sportspeople are versed in fighting with staffs though.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Mahouka 14

Opening: I much prefer this one then the first. It just sounds so much better.
Ending: Honestly, this might be one of my favorite ED songs ever. Definitely want to hear the full version whenever it comes

Its so nice seeing Tats having enough faith in Mayumi to spill out top secret info to her when they're alone together.

Course it won't help him avoid participating in the event, but its not like he truly hates the idea.

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

What is it with you and mofu season twos and also making me disappointed?!
