This is in context for every page.
I only watch anime that says "Damn it" at least once an episode. I wouldn't want to be confused with an children, or heaven forbid, a girl.

Very few things attributed with the idea of being revolutionary are actually new, most of them time they are advancement of things prior to them. Nothing comes out of thin air. Elements of Evangelion had been done prior too as you mentioned.
Madoka wasn't just a 'dark magical girl' show as has been done prior but things such as the Faustian components have dramatically impacted how people view magical girl shows now and how authors write the genre. Even outside its genre you can see the influence in some writers and shows. We haven't even reached the 5th anniversary of the show. You are right however that Madoka hasn't really impacted core business models but pretty much no show has, as those are largely been set in stone now. Everything under the sun is merchandised for otaku. There really isn't anything to change at this point.
If anything Madoka would be closer to Code Geass than Haruhi as that one kicked off the cliffhanger concept in anime.
Edit:Actually I guess you could say that Haruhi escalated the light novel adaptation stuff to the extent it is now. If you look at it that way then it's super revolutionary.

It's meant to be a joke, also directed at myself. :v

I...moreso think he means, now that I look at it, that it's like...glitching out with orange tag link pixels. It kinda hurts my eyes...
I'm watching but all I see is an album cover.

Sorry, I've got to finish the rest of Hyouka and I'm currently in a UC* Gundam marathon.

Just like papa Nagai would have wanted
Not seen G Gundam *ducks* but I never realized that this was a reference to it. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. (Clip contains the actual scene from G Gundam too, no idea how spoilerly it is!)
I bet that there's a load of anime references in cartoons I used to watch. I haven't watched CN in many years but Steven Universe which I'm sure is a popular series has a Gunbuster reference. (a S2 Short, so again, spoilers?)

That's awesome
Confession:
I've not seen Utena.

Look, the thought of watching what I've been told is essentially the original Gundam again only more depressing doesn't exactly appeal to me.
Besides, I want to get to Turn A with a lot of UC knowledge as quickly as possible. Skipping one show won't hurt.

Narcos 01
This shit is cray as fuck. Good lord Netflix, you have got me by the balls with these shows. Wagner Moura is doing some crazy work, I used to watch this guy on TV when I was little, he was in like every single Brazillian soap opera that my mom watched. Now he is doing crazy stuff like this. Good for him. Talented as hell, not a tinge of Brazillian accent, and he looks just like the person he is impersonating. Netflix 2 OP.

Can we just talk about how based the soundtrack for Patlabor is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNZ0TLBsiOc

Samurai Flamenco ep.1-6
I figured I'd follow up on the first 6 episodes at this point, since I've been told 1,000x that it's the best part of the anime and shit goes down at ep.7. I am a little nervous... However, the first 6 episodes have been really good. The relationships have been well done (gotta love that bromance) Goto is the best by far... The idol girl, and now "girls" can all go to hell because you can already tell they are annoying as hell, especially the ringleader herself. Oh well, it's been fun so far, so we'll see what happens next tomorrow.

maybe not a brazilian accent but his accent slip during the show has bothered many colombians and spanish speakers.
Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, episode 2b
Wow, I thought it would be just some all right Scooby Doo style of mystery, but the second day turns over so many assumptions that it's not even funny. The solution to the mystery is amazing and I just love the Apollo, Athena interactions.

Trust me, you are not ready.
I'm part Spanish and his wording sounds just fine HOWEVER I'm not familiar with the Columbian side of things. The Spanish I grew up with was Castellano/Gallego so any of the Latino variances of the language, although understandable, I won't recognize them. Maybe his Columbian Spanish is awful. But hey, Brazilians have a REALLY hard time with languages, simply because of how involved the intonation of the Brazilian Portuguese language is. Portuguese people like myself from the mainland however have it much easier and we can get rid of accents easily. So I mean, people should give the guy some credit. Yes I have only seen one episode, but damn if he doesn't nail his part right.
Haha yeah XLR was the GOAT, loved that show so much. We were not worthy.
That show was so freaking funny. Who could forget the hilariousness that was Regis Mk V?

I saw something about it on brazilian television, I think what bothered them was a specific accent of Pablo Escobar, and a colombian guy(Andrés Parra) already did it better.

Yeah he had the right accent for like 60% of the time but then it slipped. It didn't bother me that much personally as everybody else was pretty spot on.
Since I already kind of gave my thoughts on the first episode of After Story, we can get right on moving to...
Clannad: After Story 2-3
The start of what I guess is the "Sunohara Arc", but not in that way.
I liked these episodes a lot. Not necessarily because of the humor, but because the conflict here so far is a natural escalation of what we already know about Sunohara. As the resident male sidekick in a harem show, he has been a goofball, a punching bag for other characters, a gullible mark for Okazaki's pranks, his partner in crime for class-cutting. That's all good fun, but his carefree attitude is also a real problem for his life, a problem he has naturally been running from. There's a future rushing toward him, and he doesn't feel like he can control it.
In short, even more than the arc that ended the original series, this drama is a consequence of his character and his motivations, not the result of some sob story past or contrived coincidence. Even
is set up remarkably well in the narrative by the standards of the previous season. And his feelings as a result have some human weight to them.
Mei also has greatly benefited from this arc so far. That's kind of remarkable given how much I'd wanted to write her off earlier as some idealized little-sister standee. She still is basically that, but these episodes have added some other human layers beneath which make her feel much more alive.
This would be pretty perfect so far, except the episode has to end with Mei suggesting that they make him play soccer. Can we solve at least one problem with something besides sports? This is the fourth time now!

Sunohara running into Okazaki and Mei hanging out, and then thinking that they're a couple
This scene was really well done, not just in Sunohara's body language, but in how the direction established his distance from everyone else. This is especially emphasized when the show cut immediately from the left image to the right one. It doesn't make temporal sense, but it makes emotional sense.

Netflix so far has been doing some crazy work. Daredevil was excellent, Narcos seems to be as well. I am hoping for the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" series to be a hit too. I grew up reading those books. Pls be good:
Cool stuff, someone else watching After Story. Having only watched both the original and this a few months ago, I am looking forward to reading your impressions. I am sure Corn will be delighted as well ahaha.
Oh I really hope it's good. The books are amazing.
OG Beef Stroganoff: The Anime- 4
Wow that was kinda bullshit, how come Tsubasa survives? Kanade got turned to ash immediately but Tsubasa lives on? What kind of swan song is it if you're still alive after using it? We also saw Kanada's grimdark background how she was filled with such a lust for revenge.
Too late.
Well at least the anime introduced a real threat as the Noise weren't exactly presenting a danger. Of course it was a random as all hell introduction with no explanation but I guess I'll take what I can get. I enjoyed seeing Tsubasa getting wrecked.
I see Kanade's love of strawberry jam was passed on to Hibiki.
This show really loves breaking the fourth wall doesn't it?
Oh wow, someone's watching Clannad After Story
this should be fun
as someone who really really
hates the bullshit that happens in the last episode
Understandable but I was *somehow* okay with that when I watched it. If contemplate about it now,
I'm pretty sure I'll find it ridiculous but meh.

I go slowly, so don't get too excited.
Also, I have a pretty good sense of what the plot is for the season. I'm going to keep an open mind though.
idk, the ending to the episode prior seemed way better than the final episode as an ending.
Like a good
tragedy
The whole
alt dimension fixing every problem in after story
Her name is Violet, goddamnit.
