So I've watched the first five episodes of Casshern Sins. I'm really enjoying it so far! It's very dark, but because of the mystery behind Casshern and the state of the world it's managed to keep me engaged. My only real complaints so far is that at times it gets a bit melodramatic (I enjoy darker works just fine, but this one is practically dripping with angst!) and that there's been a few moments of weak animation (not too many, though). I'm looking forward to watching the rest!

This episode gets mad props for actually giving Kitamura depth, because honestly? I wasn't feeling him. Sure he could be entertaining at times, but he generally pissed me off with his "perfect, quirky honor student" schtik. It was about damn time he got put through the ringer like the rest of the main characters. Anyway, I could actually emphasize with his breakdown. I totally get "doing stupid stuff for attention in an attempt to make yourself feel better." I'm glad the show called him out on it via Ami.

Hey AnimeGaf! ^^ Just recently got back into anime thanks to Fate/Zero which uses the stand/persona trope really well with a fascinating world. Think I'll keep watching more new anime thanks to Crunchy Roll on my phone. Anyone have some recommendations based on the newest anime? The one I've started watching is Nozaki-kun and am really enjoying how lively it is. Main girl is soo cute.

what do you think about the pacing of the show so far? i've watched the first 6 and at this point i feel pretty confident in saying the show would be better as 12 episodes as opposed to 24, but that could still change of course

DBZ Battle of Gods
Pretty bad movie. Terrible pandering writing aside, I was sorta expecting a cool fight or two, but even then the movie failed at that. Ugly CG was distracting for these fast moving battles where they fly around the city and the actual final fight was just dull. The conclusion was even worse, but that sorta of thing was expected. I suppose the only positive thing was some of the music tracks weren't half bad, but pretty much this was a waste of time.

Eh? The servants are more akin to Medabots. (I swear that is the first thing that came to mind.) Basically battle companions with their autonomy limited.Hey AnimeGaf! ^^ Just recently got back into anime thanks to Fate/Zero which uses the stand/persona trope really well with a fascinating world.

Understatement. The show is more bleak than dark.

it's definitely tolerable, but i feel like they're repeating certain concepts when they don't really need to.
I'm fine with bleak as long as it's done right (like Texhnolyze). I'm hoping the show doesn't get too heavy on the angst, and focuses more on the mystery itself and the people that populate what's left of the world.
I can't wait to see what's next.

If you're specifically looking manliness in a humorous way then the show is for you. I was looking for a more serious thing, like the OVA battle somebody showed me.

Well if you liked Fate Zero you might enjoy Aldnoah.Zero, it apparently has a lot of the team who worked on FZ doing it or having a part on its creation. It's no Fate Zero and so far it's just ok, but it has a lot of promise (Slaine).
Dragonball: 14 - 28 (The 21st World Martial Arts Tournament)
This arc, to me, was an early highlight of the Dragonball series. It introduced Krillin to the audience, and gave us a look at what's to come in the future with some excellent fights during the tournament proper. Dragonball's signature comedy is still at large, however, really showing off in Krillin's fight against Bacterian. Getting easily handled by the smelly giant, Goku breaks the fourth-wall and reminds Krillin that he doesn't have a nose, therefor the smell shouldn't be getting to him.
Something I have to commend this arc for is that it was able to keep focus on all currently introduced characters without them spending lots of time on the sidelines. Bulma, Puar, Oolong, and Yamcha all had visible, notable roles to play in the arc, despite that Goku, Krillin, and Master Roshi were the leads. While I expect that kind of character treatment to disappear over time, this early in the series, its nice to see that everybody introduced so far is having a chance to develop.
This officially marks the end of material that I have seen before. I have read the manga up through this arc, and had previously watched the anime up through the end of the last arc before. From here up until Dragonball Z, all material is new to me. I'm looking forward to it.

Sounds good. Thanks!
I'm waiting till mine gets here to do a porn gallery of it.
Gotta go in pure for this with no spoilers (of what's inside the box; I've seen all of CCS the show lol).
That's a better way to describe it. Sorry don't know the tropes all that well.
No Life No Game 6
Wait. Why did Shiro have nipples, but the other two ladies lost their nipples? What did I just watch? What's with all of this crazy space science I just witnessed? Oh god. My head and heart. They can't.
Also, potential new waifu. We'll see how she flourishes.

Blue Spring Ride 5
FINALLY THE CAT APPEARS.
And so does the love triangle.
Whenever this anime does the typical anime stuff like the >_< faces or chibi style art, it looks really forced and out of place. Its like the creators are like "Oh crap I forgot this is an anime lets add some oddly goofy anime stuff so people know its anime". It was especially apparent when Yuuri turned into a demon after the annoying blonde guy ate her muffin last episode.

Kino's Journey 10: The Story of Mechanical Dolls
I don't have much to say about the episode. The following image summarizes my thoughts:
Isn't this all episodes?
Was there even an happy episode in Kino?
This. Looks. Awesome.
From a Chinese-based studio too? Interesting. Looks a bit like Hero: The Animation.

It only gets better.
You're right, I reexamined the scene and I was mistaken. I was tricked by the shadow. And I missed the part of him clearing away the private parts. That makes a bit more sense. Thanks!

Blade Dance 4
This show is overall kind of boring especially this episode. It doesn't really have the redeeming qualities of Rail Wars or Momo Kyun Sword which at least have silly fanservice. The story is pretty cliche and fights are okay at best. Doesn't help that the plot still seems pretty nonsensical with the sister, Restia and Ren Ashbell plotlines still not really explained

Maaaannn....what gives? FMA Brotherhood goes from episode 4 to episode 53 on Hulu
edit: You know what, screw Hulu. Canceling my Hulu Plus trial (which is garbage anyway, it still has ads FFS!) and going to Netflix for these series.

Yeah Hulu is garbage. I signed up for Hulu Plus and there were still ads...
If I had known Attack on Titan was on Netflix I would've just signed up for Netflix instead...
I'm going to correct that mistake right....now.
There was. Episode 08 was a very optimistic and cute episode.
Ive dealt with some very poor spindle designs over the years. Some of them you have to put the case on a soft surface and literally bend the case and disc to remove it.
As long as its not a dreaded stack spindle. Fuck those.
Bebop Blurays believe!
I don't even know if they're going to be there, but I'll probably cry for a few days if it misses 2014.

I have only had issues with the Bunny Drop regular edition set, which is also from NISA. Thought the discs were going to snap before I finally got them out. Just glad I had some slim jewel cases to store the discs in for now because they sure weren't going back on that case.
Hopefully something about the Sunrise titles that were announced by FUNimation and Sentai, but nothing has actually been said yet.

(to be fair, Brotherhood cuts off on Netflix at episode 52 for no reason at all)

WE DID IT BEAR. OUR HOLY GRAIL IS HERE.
Wait you had trouble with those soft NISA cases?
finally caught up on some shows
Terror episode 4
decent episode, curious what the end game of the series is
Barakoman 5
fine episode, though not much happened.
agami ga kill 5
hey a training partner that actually trained someone...
but w/e still enjoyable.
nozaki-kun 5
still quite amusing, my favorite romcom of the season.
Aldnoah Zero 5
wow, what an absolute piece of garbage episode that was. I had been pleasantly surprised with this series up until this point but almost any hope I had for the series is gone now.
just god damn it.... I was enjoying the series and now I am just angry at it like I expected I was going to be after the first episode.
If I recall right someone mentioned that the guy that did psycho pass only did the first few episodes of this series... if that is true and the last one he did was 4 then it sure shows :/ (if it wasn't that guy I know it was mentioned someone only did the first few episodes)

main character doing shit that the trained soldiers can't remotely do, check
kind of mars a complete idiot check (lets not listen to the guy who was friends with my daughter for years, and instead trust one of the generals that went over my head and started a war without my consent. I mean there is no chance he is telling the truth and if I gave earth 3 days to produce her alive without attacking that wouldn't ruin my or heck even harm my empire in any way... but instead I will just let my men who might be working against me go back down there and kill her before I can get her back safely because I can't trust my daughters friend.)
princess going to summon a magical mech at some point in the series check. (mentioned that she is one of the only people who can control the Aldnoah)
