They seem to have copied a bit too much Hollywood, in the sense the trailer spoils you most of the film.
Already posted at you on twitter before I saw the thread this morning, but to reiterate I'm glad you're safe!
This looks incredibly stupid. Was that a goat alien? Did they gain the powers of fabulousness in the second half of the trailer?

It's really something else, I want to know the reason why they're flying on a dragon, how is that even related to aliens in any way!
Looks like we got a couple non-believers here that not even El Cantare would forgive.

I'm confused. Does this look off or have I watched too much Key?
Arslan Senki 1-13
Pretty good so far. Arslan isn't the greatest character around, but he has likable points to him and has around him some great people, from badasses like Daryun to suave dudes like Narses. I like Farangis a lot too and Giv has its charm points, while Elam is dependable.
Some things about the plot anger me somewhat but heh, overall I'm really enjoying the story.
Also some of the closing illustrations are damn good. I loved the Seo Koji one at the end of episode 3.

I'll believe in any god that gives me golden clothes and a motherfucking dragon.
Hail El Cantare, Hail Okawa
I read the Wikipedia article, It seems that this whole cult isn't even related to aliens in any way, it's just about being happy.
No, it's pretty fucked up. Laws of the Sun is like high level cult shit that talks about lizardmen aliens and it's meant to be taken seriously. Okawa's kinda crazy too. There was something he put out a few years back where he let him be possessed by the ghosts of still living US presidential candidates to get the real answers we always wanted.

A more impressive premiere than I remembered it to be though still nothing that would instantly grab me. Will need a bit of time to get accustomed to these chara designs.

A more detailed look at the villains of the story with Alka nowhere to be found. Was okay.
Steins;Gate 07-08
Really liked episode 7 that dropped the usual comedic tint and focused on the consequences of time travel and Okabe's weird ability. Though really, some of the changes to the world state seem bit too small compared to what they meddled with.
I think it's high time he realises what all those time travel hijinks mean with respect to the events of episode 1.

Okay, this went way to far to be just a red herring.

Is the Happy Science religion in any way related to the Happy Happy cult from Earthbound?

Lmao that's crazy. Why are they making Anime? Is it just going to be crazy religous propaganda?
I was wondering if it was something realted to those ... individals.
You'd be supprised. Asian Cults have a ... thing ... of making crazy bonkers propaganda anime.
Berserk: The Egg of the King - Thanks to netflix I've finally gotten my first taste of Berserk. I tend to not be into bloody combat-fests, but this with its quite european flavour was alright for me. The europeanness also meant I was quite happy to watch the dub as US accents on medieval pseudo-europeans is much less jarring than on Japanese school kids.
And it certainly feels right at home with GoT on TV and such.
I guess my annoyance now is that its part of a trilogy of OVAs, and netflix seems to lack both the other chapters. Let me guess...to stream the rest I need a Funimation account?
One thing of interest I guess is the long white haired leader...so very much reminded me of Sion from Legend of the Legendary Heroes.

The proof is in the ass.prison school 2

Keiji Fujiwara as Chairman is great casting
Can't wait till he drop the legendary line
They challenge each other. If it wasn't for Nodame and her improvised (and clumsy) piano playing, Chiaki wouldn't have pursued his dream as a conductor (ep1-5). Similarly, if it wasn't for Chiaki and his influence, Nodame would have stayed on course of being a primary school teacher (ep1-23). A relationship isn't all about lovey-dovey intimacy. It's also about bringing the best out of each other, and help overcome the challenges and struggles that come with it. That is true love.
Nodame Cantabile is a show about two connected people continuously trying to overcome these challenges as they become greater and greater. Like a shounen if you will. In that regard, it's quite unique in the romantic comedy space.

I agree with everything you said and it is a well derived breakdown of the story, however, I still cannot agree on the romance part.
The moments they play together are beautiful and they play off of one another in an amazing way, but to me, even as you mentioned, it was their own personal growth that had the biggest effect on the story. I do not believe they portrayed a budding love between the two outside of subtle hints as thoughts in Chiaki's mind. Nodame was very open about her feelings from the start, however, even in the end, Chiaki still couldn;t admit his true feelings... I personally needed that littl epush to make me feel as though he is sincere; tell me/show what your true feelings are; maybe a total abstract works for some, but..

Based Hamasaki delivering on the edgy front. Hilarious.

Tanuki stew ???? Japan, you absolute monsters.
Enjoyed learning about main protagonist's family dynamics much more compared to master's backstory from the first ep. I should be alright. Really liking the song they use for ED.

True, very true, he is a tsundere..
Now it's a Irie (Itazura na Kiss) vs. Chiaki (Nodame Cantabile) on who the worst male tsundere MC I'very come across.
I'm lost right now though. Into the final 3 episodes of Full Moon and I'm bracing for it..
Oh, and I'm really happy you weren't involved in the tragedy yesterday Cajun!
Selfishly, I'm gonna need a hug in about an hour!
Seriously, thank goodness.

the Jast USA bundle on groupees is about to have it's preorders go live
link to the bundle
I believe the top tier of the bundle is going to be $20, not sure the price of the preorder or how many games overall there is but I think it was supposed to be 4-5.

Akagi is a terrible human being who thinks like a genius serial killer type but the people he destroys are even worse so it works out. And I mean he is an actual genius, compared to Kaiji who wins on luck and taking the pain at least
Full Moon has one of my all time favorite endings.
Absolutely incredible ending. One of the best most underrated series in anime.
Looks like reverse-KEY

Ushio and Tora 04
Tora is so great. If they actually turn him into a good guy by feeding him burgers and the only reason he was so evil was because he was hungry I will laugh so hard

Full Moon wo Sagashite ep. 42- END:
First of all, thank you for the rec. Cajun as well as everyone else that cheered along the way. This was a long series and had some lulls along the way, but it is definitely worth it at the end… Now, how do I appropriately react to the last 10 episodes of this; it’s impossible. I mean, it is an incredible experience as they close out the last weeks and days of Mitsuki’s life. It’s a whirlwind of emotions from pain, fear and despair, to hope, friendship and love. Just like the way Eternal Snow is sung differently between Madoka and Full Moon; the same song can mean happiness and sorrow at the same time. It’s used in a tremendous fashion to compliment what is occurring around it; reading the lyrics as the song plays just intensifies the emotional response you can get from it because it always matches the emotions felt at that moment.
That hospital rooftop scene in episode 46 was intense, I mean, like Holy $hit don’t do it you! Stop you piece of $hit, WTF are you doing? NOOOOOOOO! Then Takuto pleading and singing the song, grandma, oh my goodness, so many feels… I hated Izumi, what a piece of crap no good Shinigami.. His sole purpose in the final stretch of the anime was to be the antagonist of everything; the true Shinigami, reaper of souls and reminder of the darkside. His role to bouncing off of Takuto and Meruko was really, really good as much as you hate him and what he stands for.
It is a great story of personal triumph, struggle, hope and love. There is a lot of despair and pain along the way, but the story does a great job of sorting out everyone's emotions by the end if it. The relationship between Mitsuki, Mereko and Takuto at the end was amazing and the way the writer handled those situations between them was great, so many good moments towards the end.. That tall white lady, her words to Takuto and Mereko... *snif*
The ending, what can I say? I can’t say much for spoiler fears, but my goodness was that amazing. Clannad After Story was an amazing conclusion and this one is not too far behind it. (athough admittedly, this one is a little clearer) Tears of sadness or joy? Both at the same time? Emotional for sure. Excellent, Excellent Excellent….

Prisma Illya (Season 1): 1
Well, there's a first for everything. Open rebellion of a weapon from their holder. Can't say I seen that coming. Making the weapon just as much of a character as its user should provide an interesting dynamic, should it continue.
From this first episode I get the impression that this won't exactly be a fun ride for the characters. Illya, forced into this situation as a magical girl, definitely doesn't sound as enthused as at the beginning of the episode, before Ruby, the weapon, showed up.
I figure I should mention that I have NOT watched anything else in or related to the Fate universe.
Prisma Illya (Season 1): 2
Like I thought, not a fun ride. Aside from a little foreshadowing regarding the other weapon, Sapphire, this episode was mostly training and exposition.
At least, that is, until the end, where Sapphire's user shows up and effortlessly defeats the opponent that Illya was about to get destroyed by.

Well now you can at last understand why I fell completely in love with this show and recommended it so incredibly highly (and tenaciously)
