I dont like this thread title

Boooooo

Got no more anime to watch right now so I guess Plastic Memories it is.

Man, put her in the cast with any other fighting anime or any other genre and she could be awesome

What a waste of Kyo Ani's resources. Great world, great character designs, great concept, such horrible execution and writing. Ugh.
 
TLR is just porn so I doubt it.

Don't see why that would stop them considering they have Testament of Sister New Devil on the service

I haven't finished S1 yet, but it was pretty fun stuff so far.. Not too bad with only 3 in the harem so far..

Darkness is way less tame then TLR. Like, way less tame. Like the difference between a 14 year old tabby housecat and a tiger fed nothing but meat laced with cocaine. Even for me I wonder if it's going too far sometimes.

I have to agree and it makes me sad. Mirai is so great herself. I wonder what happened with that show?

Are you watching the right thing? Rito's harem is everyone in the galaxy.
 
It's a sad thing to realize I've been reading To-Love-Ru weekly, now monthly, for 9 years now.

I've been doing that with One Piece for around 8, basically the same thing

Yup, I remember getting caught up around the end of the Post Enies Lobby Arc, which was around eight years ago...

Rather uncharacteristically, Rightstuf has not shipped anything that came out june 30th to me yet. This is highly unusual.

It's been terrible at sending tracking numbers for anything that was transferred over.

Anything ordered since the new site went up you'll get e-mail confirmation now.

I know this because my Turn A Gundam just shipped this morning. Check your order history for them, because they were there for me on my Denki-Gai/Mahouka/Noragami order.

and i cant find any of my invoices from past orders with the new site

You have to set the date using the calendar, then clock off of it once set and it should populate. I just use Jan 1st, 2015 to present day for my search threshold.

Princess Tutu 01

I'm probably not going to do posts for every episode (especially early on since I've seen them before), but since it's the first episode I'm gonna go ahead and do one anyway.


It's still very good, and all the plot details that I vaguely remembered yesterday are all coming back to me. Ahiru's reaction to Mr Cat teaching the ballet class didn't line up with the rest of the class, as if it were the first time she'd actually been in that class. Since the other classmates didn't react at all, something's gotta be up there. The art style is still fantastic, and the soundtrack is still wonderful. Ahiru's japanese voice actor just sounds adorably flustered - I can see why I mistook Doremi for having the same voice actor as her.

After the transformation Yabuki went through in his personal life, watching his artistic limiters be released was a gift to all of mankind.

He suffered so he could become a god.

So it may have shipped?

Hello AnimeGAF. Long time no see.

The Witcher 3 has been taking all my free time, but I've been watching Legend of Galactic Heroes in between breaks and weekdays.

Still on episode #46, but I enjoyed what I seen so far. I remember voicing my concerns a while back about filler episodes. I've aware now that there just isn't any. Also, killing
Kirchieis
was a bold move.

Really looking forward to see more of it.

Also I've been watching Kekkai Sensen, which is also a treat to watch. I've seen "Don't Forget to Don't Forget Me" and feeling a lot of that Cowboy Bebop nostalgia.

Ore Monogatari 13

tgffxpv.png


While this show isn't extremely detailed, the quick editing and style of shots adds a lot to the comedy and romance. Even outside of close ups it's usually clear how the characters are feeling in each shot. The visuals elevate the fun character interactions to a higher tier of slice of life comedy but unlike some recent comedy anime, it never relies solely on visuals for entertainment.
 
Ore Monogatari - episode 13

Yeah the intro could have been an entire episode, feels like a waste of a premise in this slice of life anime. Obviously this is an episode used to build up a grander premise so i understand why they had to attach it. The episode is filled with the usual Ore Monogatari signatures of blushing and reaction shots, so its enjoyable on a surface level.

I wouldn't really say that, but they don't have any prior seasons so its unlikely. I kind of expect that to be the prominent show of the season that falls through the cracks.

Of course at some point I guess Hulu will get it as apparently it has the other TLR stuff.

Sentai has everything else. IIRC Darkness S1 was Anime Network-only, but their normal course of action is to put everything they have streaming on CR when it wasn't then. So, who knows?
 
Gangsta - 01

This was alright, not overly impressed, but watchable. My main issue was the use of glorious nippon steel to defeat gun users, and the stormtrooper thugs needed to execute it. Guess I need to turn off my brain more than I thought.
Balalaika dude seems charming enough. Use of sign language is neat, as well as the slurring of the speech. I dig the setting so I'll keep watching.

Watched episode 27-29 of Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
Not a bad start of a new Season.
These episodes mostly focused on developing the supporting characters as well as setting up the coming story arc.
This is gonna be good.
E27 also had a pretty cool battle scene.

[Gangsta] - 1

From the director of Deadman Wonderland...

This show has no visual charisma. The direction and the art are as dull as the characters. It delivers neither a satisfying emotional journey or an interesting action piece. It's just dull. Here's some digital, washed out art:


Here's Gangta's version of an action set piece, where a bunch of dudes with guns can't shoot the guy with a sword who runs at them because he's doing ninja flips and shit:


As I mentioned, the art is dull. The background art is features and clean, lacking the character I'd associate with a crime ridden slum. In place of designs or colours or graffiti the artists instead decided to put the remains of a torn-off poster on every single wall. Not any actual posters, mind you, just the remains. In nearly every single shot.


Oh there's also some sex shit because this is an edgy as fuck crime show.

Avoid.

Princess Tutu is a damned fine show. Odds are you will love it and cat sensei will possibly be your favorite character.

Depends on how you bundled them, but there's a possibility.

Easiest way is to just check your bank account.

Bundled two together and one separate. they should have all shipped now.

Lull In the Sea

Yikes, say it ain't so. The ninja stuff doesn't bother me too much as it's clearly not a very realistic show. Just like in BL they shot whole magazines at each other from 5 meters and still couldn't hit the target.

Mangloge vs Manglobe

Is the second show Michiko&Hachin ?

Naruto Shippuden 418

It's amazing how much they are stretching the material at every chance they get. Flashback for Kabuto, padded flashback for Gai. But even with that the small amounts that require some effort put into it like beginning of Gai vs Madara were just abysmal. It's now like 12 months since Kakashi vs Obito, pls Pierrot it's time for your yearly, well produced Naruto episode. Make #420 worth all this suffering.

Gangsta Episode 1:

This episode can be summed up in a word, establishment, indeed this was setting up the world and the characters and I like what I see so far. Also, trying to figure out what the hell to OP has to do with this series since that was seemingly taken from some bondage anime that never made it to air.
 
Mangloge vs Manglobe

I never hoped for anything super good with this anime.First clue: It's called "Gangsta" , uggh.

Second clue: the promo art is something like this:
RalgGRJ.png


Edgy crime main characters with crooked smiles, eyepatches, dressing in black and with a pistol and a katana as their "visual signature".

I still will apply the 3-ep rule, and I prefer something more... serious and realistic than another moe-fanservice anime, but that doesn't mean this is going to be good.
