Did you ever fail it while playing? Would've loved to see that reaction then. Dunno but for some reason that scene didn't bother me too much. Having never indulged in horror games and films, my heartbeat was ludicrously high when I started playing Dead Space 1 though. Jesus what a great adrenaline rush experience that was, beside being an overall good game to boot!

Monster Musume - 12 [End]
Lots of cool animation bits and effects in this last episode. Centaurs foodgasm felt like something you'd see in Soma.
I wouldn't mind seeing more of this show, and:

This was a pretty fun show, now I ain't really into the monster hybrid stuff, but the behavior and typical situations associated by each "type" and the plethora of variants was entertaining to see.

One of the best films of all time. I re-watched it a few days ago and I was thinking to myself "How the fuck did I even get through these scenes?!" since I'm squeamish and that's not even mentioning that other scene. Satoshi Kon really was the best at telling stories. His storyboards were just insanely detailed. The Japanese BD I bought came with a storyboard for the whole film.

The other scene is gruelling, made me really uncomfortable and stuff. I guess that was the point though.
Perfect Blue is probably my favorite anime movie by the way, it's awesome.
Agreed, it really pushes you to your limits. I'd by lying if I said that I didn't get the urge to turn it off during that scene, but I didn't flinch or pause or turn it off, because doing so would go against the intention of the scene. I guess in that sense I trusted Satoshi Kon to deliver on each scene. It is also one of my favorite films of all time. Having said that, begrudgingly I haven't seen Tokyo Godfathers and Paranoia Agent yet and they're still on my to watch list. The Japanese Blu-ray for Paranoia Agent should be on my way soon so I will tackle that asap.

Monster Musume 12
A very fun finale with plenty of great reactions
A very fun finale with plenty of great reactions
I might jump straight into Utena because of how good MW is. Though I rarely see it mentioned or put in top anime lists, so I imagine my current high opinion of it may be a bit of an outlier. Or it crashes and burns in the last eps.
Isn't that Yatterman director/staff ? Maybe they're overcompensating for the previous failure. lol
It didn't really feel like an end to a series which was strange but it was faithful to the original source so I can't complain. Overall while the isn't for everyone it did give me a new appreciation for monster girls and now I'm probably cool with spiders since Rachnera is best girl. I'm a legs man for life.
Monster Musume 12 [END]
Yeah, its pretty much another non-end series. It wraps up what the previous few episodes were leading to, but leaves enough open for a potential sequel or for people to just get into the manga.
Though, unlike a lot of anime i didn't feel cheated this time with a non-ending.
I think it was because this one was just so well animated (it was actually scary sometimes at how well this episode was animated) and kept to things that made the show so enjoyable that it felt like the end to what they actually wanted to adapt for now. Basically, this ending made me feel a "it'd be good if they adapt more, but I won't be angry or annoyed if they don't" vibe. Honestly, from a show like this where an anime only ending wouldn't really work, and where there is no ending from the source material, this was probably the best way to end this season.
in the end i really enjoyed monster musume.

As long as the shows don't get banned. Hasn't there been a crackdown lately?

Yeah I noticed that too lol. Looked like a different show at times. Unexpected since the rest of the show was just riding along the passable line and it's not the type of show that needs or you would expect it from anyway

All that Mia bodypillow money is finally putting in some work.
Yeah, it was. I actually really liked it. S2 was a trainwreck in the beginning, but damn that ending was REALLY good. I did not expect that.
You mean Caliburn?
Correct decision.
The show was really flashy and "fun to watch", but had no real substance. It was my junk food anime for the duration of its run. Would not recommend to anyone.
I was thinking more of the original stupid Welsh name, Caledfwlch.
Welsh is like someone slammed their face on a keyboard.

This series is either the highest selling manga in Japan or the most popular harem(?) manga in Japan. That is the only logical reason i could infer why so much money was thrown in the animation department for the amime adaptation.

I'm pretty sure it's merchandise sells an exorbitantly stupid amount. That Miia body pillow sold out. I mean, jesus, that's enough to fund that last episode.

I doubt that. To-Love-Ru + Darkness and Oh My Goddess probably have more sales. Not to say Monmusu isn't popular though. Compared to the real popular series like One Piece, Tokyo Ghoul or Attack on Titan? Combined sales of Monmusu in a year would be lucky to equal one volume of those three.

One well animated episode doesn't mean they sunk a ton of money into the adaptation. Animation quality isn't just about budget, especially when you are talking about one outlier episode.

You guys talk like the show was hitting Akikan levels of shit every episode.
If anything I'd say the overall animation/still-frame quality was above most of the shows this season.

Yeah. But thats pretty true of all manga that aren't those.
Continued to be amused by it continuously (it seems) charting on the nyt list though.
Considering how bad almost all the shows were on the animation side this season, that's not really a high mark.

Yeah that's true, I can think of maybe two more series that could compete with those 3 now that Naruto ended. 7 Deadly Sins used to? And Shokugeki no Soma is decently close.
Edit: Kuroku no Basuke as well, but the gap between One Piece and literally anyone else is bigger then I thought it was - 2.8 MILLION for the last volume, which is 1.2 million over Attack on Titan.
Attack on Titan Vol. 1 has been on the NYT list for over two years now I believe, probably because it takes next to no sales to chart.

Maybe that is the reason.
You just reminded me of the centaur L-shaped pillow.

Monster Musume really was a bad show, but at least Kobayashi came back at the end.
I don't know if I can do the whole "watch crap for a voice actor" thing again though... yeesh. lol

Now you obviously need to go watch God Eater for those few minutes of Omigawa.

That's Thoraxes or duckroll, not me!
Sawashiro is like a distant second for me, but I would only consider suffering for Kobayashi. lol
She was apparently in that Classroom thing, but I didnt' even think of watching that one.

I don't watch shows for certain voice actors, it's just those voice actors keep showing up in the shows I want to watch/like.
Like Sugita.
And Wakamoto.
Or Sawashiro.
...Or Nana Mizuki.

Ill watch any show with KENN voicing the lead or in a major role.
Sawashiro best role is UtaPri.
I certainly won't watch bad shows just because of an actor I like (be it animated or live action), of course if
I'm not enjoying something I'll drop almost anything - theres too much stuff to waste time on stuff I'm not enjoying.
I'm certainly more willing to investigate or trial something though. With anime though I seem to be lucky in that actors I like get tons of work so there's no issue of watching crap or nothing.

Although Symphogear and Idolmaster did make me understand voice actor fans and characters songs and shit like that since apparently pretty much voice actor is also a singer?
