I mean, the whole hook of Symphogear for me was that it was decidedly brutal for a magical girl show and due to the nature of how she acquired her powers that she was slowly losing herself to the frenzy and insanity of her magical form. The way she fought in it was crazy awesome and really interesting to me. Battles were pretty neat too.
I think I've yet to see a mainly CG show where the actual CG didn't bother be. Even in movies character animation looks stiff and unnatural. Keep it for things it works decently well in CG: cars, background animation and stuff. Even mechs if you really, really have to but keep it away from human characters.
That said I'll go over my shorts backlog and see if it changes my mind.
I've heard of this before but I'd have to see whether this this software produces feasible results. If it does, then sure why not. Though I imagine this would bring some severe adapting pains and lay-offs. I've no clue about drawings but from my perspective, jumping straight into key frames shouldn't be that much of a problem. With the release of time and money from skipping in-betweens, some kind of extended tutoring period and intensive oversight from AD's and more experienced KA doesn't strike me as much of a problem. /talesfrommybutt.

I can usually look past CG as long it's not...
1. Terrible CG that contrasts sharply with the traditional visuals.
2. CG people. CG people always look awful to me.

He thinks 2014 was weaker than 2015 ? Maybe after winter I'll agree but as of now, absolutely not.

Dragon Ball Super 011
As the resident only person watching Dragon Ball Super on AnimeGAF I would like to remind everyone that Dragon Ball is pretty good sometimes
The scenes they added are good and fun. This is taking longer then I thought to recap BoG but it isn't bothering me much because of the added stuff.
I know DTL does

Japanese Goku is fine you big baby
Can't wait for Resurrection of "C" so we can get Wakamoto Cell back
I think the dub is better but it doesn't bother me

Honestly 2014 has been better than 2015 so far.
It had Ping Pong, Space Dandy, Barakamon, Nozaki-kun, D-Frag, Haikyuu, and Noragami

There's something I really love about extremely powerful beings having childish slapfights over the fate of the planet
Do we know which Fall shows Crunchyroll will be streaming?
Also, are any of these shows worth continuing? I've watched like 1-3 episodes of each:
Aoharu x Kikanjuu
God Eater
Gate
The only one I've seen some positive feedback here lately is Gate, but I really didn't like the pilot.

2014 was legit.
Yona of the Dawn, Cross Ange, Garo, Mushishi.
Lots of fantastic stuff.

I'd say no to all despite enjoying Gate (my fantasy boner often clouds my judgment). Maybe give second episode of Gate a try before you decide not to continue, since they're actually in the other world by then with their military might.

OG Beef Stroganoff: The Anime- 2
I fucking hate Tsubasa already. Just so full of edge, she makes Ryuko look delightful. Just look at this face:
So edgy goddamn.
Not sure I like Hibiki either as she's in full 'Please Notice Me Senpai' phase which normally might not be so bad if Tsubasa wasn't in 'That Doesn't Belong to You' mode. Hibiki's responses don't seem natural which is why I'm glad some of the characters pointed that out.
I thought Hibiki would have demonstrated at least a little caution and ask for some time to think this over but nope she's all in. Her desperate plea for attention from Tsubasa is grating so hopefully the fight next episode makes it clear she's not wanted and she can move on.
How is this not public knowledge? Noise attacks seem to be happening on an almost daily level so it seems like the Symphogears would have to be publicly known so people wouldn't be in complete despair about it. It would be like the EVAs not being known and yet the Angel attacks occurring every other day. It also seems like every top secret base in anime has to be twenty miles underground.
This really is Cross Ange isn't it? Watch the girls be part Noise and the longer they use their armor, the more they turn into some uber-Noise.

Oh yeah I forgot it also had yuri elements.
Symphogear is way less gross then Cross Ange though. Tsubasa gets better but Symphogear likes to have characters go through the same arc twice, GX is pretty bad at that

Symphogear GX 12
Biggest reason this fails is there's no hot-blooded screaming to close out the episode and transition into the credits. Worth episode 12 of all 3 seasons.

Depends what you disliked about Gate I guess. Probably was my favourite new show of the season that I had not read source material of (and I fixed that quickly because of my impatience).
I dropped the other two quick smart.

THey should be announcing fall shows soon (Dialover this week) most everything else starts in October.
Aoharu x Machinegun is a fun show and one to keep watching. You missed the actual epic Gun Club tournament.
God Eater is anime of the season.
GATE is good, though you might as well wait for 2nd half and just watch it all in one go.

Wakakozake 12 END
That was a nice show but I probably won't miss it. If food anime are the new hot thing then that surely means Dungeon Meshi will have an adaptation next year!!!

Unless there is a secret master work in Fall, 2015 is not only weaker than 2014, but possibly the weakest of the last five years.

the main character's mother been put in a capsule in space and promptly shot at. And right in his mecha's hands no less. I wouldn't be surprised if he went on a rampage in the next episode.

Re-DLed the Monogatari series just...cause I hadn't watched them in a while/spaced out a lot.
Bakemonogatari 1-4
Fucking Shaft. I forgot how I have to be in a certain mood for their shows or I just completely hate em. Managed to find a good time to watch the first four and I totally forgot, which is stupid cause it's Shaft, that it was just "dialogue and stillshots: the anime" Dunno why I forgot that, dumb of me.

Baby Steps 2 25:
I'm sad that the anime is over for now. I was hoping there would be a season 3 announcement like with season 2, but I guess we have to wait.
It was a really excellent finale.
Over 50 episodes now, this show has been really enjoyable to watch. I think I'll pick the manga up for now, even though I do hope that we get a third season. This is definitely a top tier sports series.

The result was the obvious one, but the show certainly did a good job of trying to make you think he could win. I called "out" as soon as that shot was hit, though. Araya beating Nabae in the final was also interesting.

Tribe Cool Crew Episode 48
The Crowd High remix was stunning, so much more improved over the original one and even I got to moving from it. I wish TriCool song had just been just as awesome.
I hope we bring it back to the beginning with next episode

Welp...just order GTO DVD set. Look like this series will be something I will be watching later on this year or next year if I ever get though my backlog right now. Also, transfer my anime collection into digital is taking a lot of my HDD right now. Kinda scary how much space blu-ray show take if you transfer without any compression. Need to get few more HDD once I get though all my collection right now.

If you've never watched GTO you didn't do a mistake. It's an amazing series, among my top 5 favorite anime.
I'm only waiitng for a blu-ray at this point.
That won't happen.

Hopefully it leads to another cull.

Heard good thing about the show and couple of old friends did watch it when it release in North America. I guess, it's a safe bet if I get the collection and watch it. As for Blu-ray, did it release in Blu-ray in Japan as of now?
Couldn't catch the last of the chimera arc, darn it! My brother said the payoff was really good just as some of you guys said. I did catch the entirety of the final arc of the anime though. The anime once again changed genre. There were two concurrent plots. One is hunter... politics? What the hell kind of shonen is this?! ^_^ Literally it was just politics,
It had debates, speeches, campaigns, bureaucratic mess, manipulations, and all that stuff. It was still really entertaining though and Pariston was such a great antagonist. Crowning moment of awesome, when Leorio punched Ging. Sweet catharsis!
The second plot, and the better one, involves Killua getting his sister Alluka out of imprisonment from his own family because
So two really great things about it. Firstly there is the Zoldyck family intrigue and the competing factions between the family members, and plenty of great action that came from it. The second part is the really creepy powers the sister had and how in the end the premise got turned to its head. It was both unexpected and touching. That second part is so amazingly well done I can't believe it came from a shonen anime.
Hunter x Hunter is truly one of the best surprises I have gotten from accidental watch. My judgment in staying away from it just because it was shonen was so wrong. Even if I didn't catch every episode, I sure am glad I watched along some of it with my brother.
it was about the election of the new chairman since Netero died.

Gon was heavily damaged from his battle with Neferyoupi and his sister had the ability to fulfill any wish, with a price...

Meanwhile as Killua was dashing to the stairs in slow motion, Gon was turning his head ever so slightly to the right as he caught a glimpse of a pebble falling from the roof. As the roof was where those other two guys were fighting.
Meanwhile as those other two guys were about to hit each other again, that one other dude was looking at the stars and wondering where his wifewas
Meanwhile the guy wondered what his wife was doing, the neighbor was attempting to eat the cookies from the window.
But what happened to Gon's pebble? Will he ever see it hit the floor?
