How's Hakuoki? I've noticed that show has been on Crunchyroll forever.

Oh and Samurai Champloo, i watched that off and on when it was airing on Adult Swim. Need to sit down and watch it in order, i think it's on Netflix.
Momo Kyun Sword 08
The first comparison that comes to mind is Strike Witches S1E7. Hot springs and panties are center stage, and yet, like Rail Wars, the show takes the path of having an episode full of fanservice while not actually showing anything explicit. In some ways, that's more effective. Leaving things up to the imagination is a powerful tool for sexiness.
And that scene of Pheasant and Enki bickering at each other was fun because their VAs were also Chihaya and Azusa in iM@S. Pheasant is way more than a meager 72. The demon was an outcast even among the lesser demons of the island, and as such, a goofy antagonist for a goofy story. Onihime and Momo can get along pretty well during fanservice episodes, it seems.
I know from the old version of the website that Momoko has a
, so I'm wondering when that's going to show up. Next episode sounds about right.

There's a bunch and they mostly suck.
Yeah, there's like, one Oda Nobunaga anime each season anymore.

There needs to be more "good" samurai shows 
True, and indeed a lot of mahou shoujo anime happens to be really creepy at times. I think the nature of the genre, with the mysterious ways girls become magical, the horrible villains they face, sometimes fridge horror, and occasionally even the tragic circumstances that befall them are all things that give off a very creepy vibe to begin with. then they get mindbroken. Such a horrible thing happens to these girls sometimes.
Mahou shoujo is easily one of the most brutal genres of anime.
I got a thing!

My copy is arriving today along with Kabukimonogatari and Watamote!
I wont be able to get it until tomorrow after work though at the earliest.
Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA 2
Well, the action's not too bad, and the humor is starting to hit its stride. Some nice fanservice seeing. I'm guessing this Rider is the one we'll be seeing in Fate/Stay Night? I'm going to miss Iskander.Kiritsugu and Irisviel, as well as the Gae Bolg

Cardcaptor Sakura 5
Well, okay, but it has less fanservice!
And now plushies are creepy. Thanks, show!
You know, I don't think a stuffed animals could break through glass, no matter how hard it hit.
Well, that was pretty anticlim...
...I might as well not say anything at all. Thanks Sakura!
Uweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!
Some of the cards are really creative, or at least were for their time.
Some of them posed quite a seeming threat but it never really truly put Sakura in mortal danger or anything.
Hmmm. Well that is true. So its THE most accurate but still not completely so
Oh God its so beautiful!

Was that the one where the art style was wildly different?
Yeah that was some powerful shit.

The election arc is better then I ever gave it credit for. Madhouse has done good on it.
The next episode will be fun. I eagerly anticipate it.

The time has come for me to do my one yearly post in the anime thread!
I just watched Gintama: The Movie: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya and it was absolutely amazing. It had just the right mixture of comedy and drama that you would expect, and really felt like a fitting conclusion to 200+ episodes and literally years of following these characters -- which is an awesome feat I wouldn't have considered possible before. I often feel left out when people talk about the "feels" they get from some anime, or almost any medium really, but this movie actually delivered for me in that regard.
I'm still sad that it really seems to be ending this time, but if it has to, there really is no better way to go.

Yep it was amazing. I wrote this very emotional review when I watched it. Nobody cared though. Probably since I waited till way after most had seen it, or maybe none of the big Gintama fans were on at that time.
edit: found it
You have to stop after 66... The rest are filler arcs that gets old quick...
But yeah... it's a classic... Don't forget to watch the first OVA after...

Isn't it against the Geneva Convention that this show isn't available in the UK?

Now that I am 32, high school seems about right for these characters.
Maybe its just age disparity setting in.

It is slightly odd how few 'samurai', or rather 'chanbara', anime shows there are. You think it'd be a more popular subject for adaptation.

You'd be surprise that there isn't a Godzilla anime yet.

Gintama certainly doesn't feel like the mind of series that you can possibly put a cap on, as it were, and it really speak volumes to the quality of the movie that they somehow manage to encapsulate the entirety of the work into it.

They've joked enough about Gintama being in its final leg in the show itself. I'm pretty sure it's whenever they're getting close to catching up with the anime. It's popular enough, they're probably just giving it some breathing room so they can make another season when there's enough manga material.

That's just gore porn!
Godzilla doesn't need to be made into an anime because such a move wouldn't benefit the right's holders.
Better shut the thread down, guys. Can't make fun of an art style because it's not real.

Anime is still real to me dammit.
Watched some more Sabagebu. Growing on me but everything still feels off.

Honestly figured the gun stuff would be a turn off for you the same way the tank stuff was in GuP.
It's a great review. I didn't realize it before reading it, but you are probably completely right about the movie having even more of an impact if you watch it a while after the series, remembering it fondly.
This is how I felt watching the final battle scene. It somehow manages to be a fitting culmination of years of stories and getting to know each character. I'm amazed that they pulled this off.review said:
God forbid there is ever an onii-chanbara.
Now I feel dirty for coming up with that >_<
Did you like binbougami Ga?

I actually really enjoy the way the show goes out of it way to point out its all fake like every few minutes.
The tank stuff in GUP was just bizarre. Like you had scenes where the girls were almost run over by real tanks and played off as if nothing just happened.

Oh the final battle scene was everything I have loved about Gintama in one scene. The silliness, the troll twists, the amazing choreography, it was just great. I was crying by the end, not because I was sad but because I was laughing so damn much. Not to mention I was extremely happy. Tears of pure joy. One of my favorite gags of
Shinpachi's glasses fading away and leaving the human behind
They could end the series here and it'd be completely fine. But I really hope they make a new season.
Pretty sure the manga author largely wrote it if not entirely him. It was his thanks for the anime.
I kinda loved that about GuP. It was so ridiculous and it just reveled in how absurd it all was.

Super heartwarming episode. No Cards to be captured, just exploring more of the backstory and rainbows for everyone. Even the brief cutaway to Tomoyo was enjoyable, and had a bigger impact on the episode than showcasing her private theater. Nice use of Rain, too. After its debut episode, this is a chance for it to show what it can do when it's not being as mischievous.

Theres an episode coming up where all they really do is pick strawberries and it has the most adorable song ever.

I've read that. It's not anywhere near what I wanted. Having a moe prostitute is nowhere near what I wanted.
edit: not to mention it still follows anime tropes such as superpowered badasses who are super anime, and form gangs to destroy cities as they look down on a city from a rooftop.
