Don't waste your time with it, it's bad and non-canon.

Not really feeling it, but will watch at least one more next week.
Battery 02
MC is so angsty, Being arrogant can be good for sports but thats just being a jerk. Well to be fair he is like 12 although the looks make me forget that all the time. Hopefully he'll learn some life lessons on the way, maybe the lil bro could own him in the future, would pay to see that.
It's been pretty slow for the 2 episodes so far but I think it has potential to be pretty good, it's definitely a little different sports anime than the usual fare but it's giving good vibes so far even though not much has happened.

I can't as it's one of those guilty pleasure show I do watch if I am bored and if I am not near to a computer to go watch Clannad like now. Man....those blurry of Macross II look nice.
Battery The Animation Episode 2:
Okay, is there going to be any baseball in this baseball series or is just going to be all shitty character drama that doesn't go anywhere? Indeed, I am rapidly losing my patience with this title when I could go back and finish Ace of the Diamond.

Danganronpa 3 Despair Arc - 02
This episode uh... sure did go places. That ending though after the credits? Shit is going to be hitting the fan soon.

From what I have heard of the novels, if you are hoping to see baseball games you will be disappointed.

It has one baseball anime.
Have you heard positive things about the novels?

The impressions I saw were positive, yes. They complimented the character writing.

The protagonist in this is getting on my nerves, seriously. Tons of red flags everywhere too.

The brother, the MCs arm... Also what was up with him needing an IV at the very end? Could he be sickly too?
Japanese cold?
Honestly not seeing why given everything so far has been very thin and one note and above all else BELABORED to the point beyond exhaustion.
Hopefully not otherwise I'd be dropping it quicksmart.

I've never heard of using an IV because of a simple cold, jeez lol

The Japanese Cold is far more dangerous then your average cold. It requires medical attention, lots of rest and that girl you like from your class delivering the notes to your house.

I've been enjoying it quite a bit and looking forward to all 50 episodes.
Cowboy Bebop ep.4
I don't like this lady at all, so that ending was very satisfying to me, lol.
She is going to cobe back later as a monkey terrorist, isn't she
I'm perfectly fine with slow paced drama. I'll still give it a shot.
This makes the show much more appealing to me, since I don't like baseball.
Or any sport, for that matter.

I don't even know what I can count as my favorite episode of cowboy bebop, finale outside....
I mean the episode with the laughing dude is a great one.

Kennosuke sure has some city miles on him, he looks and sounds late 20s than 18!
A more laid back episode and I continue to each Kennosuke's fish out of water routine with the present day advancements (As well as his obession over curry and using Yukina's towel as a linocloth) and helps to build up the chemistry between the two leads. A neat plot point at the end that keeps the plot moving forward.
One thing about the show is it actually feels like it's a sequel/continuation of a previous series as they just expect the audience to know about the space base above the planet (Or rather how humanity already knows of it's existence) amongst other things about the mechas themselves.

Cowboy Bebop ep.5
Wow, the ending of that episode was excellent, I loved the action and musical presentation of everything... Not sure how I feel about this Vicious dude right now, but at least they finally gave a peek into Spike's past, which was good to see. Got more Fei as well, but she's a fool that sings off tune, so....

the green bird scene is one of my favorites, the flashbacks snippets are fantastic to piece together Spike's backstory

Loved the way they did that. Kind of like
watching his life flash before his eyes" kind of thing
After FMA, it's tough getting used to the "semi-episodic" nature of each episode.

Check it! #ErgoProxy comes to Blu-Ray in FULL for the first time in North America. #funimationpanel #SDCC2016 #SDCC
Wow, whoever was that person with the Vincent avatar that asked about it last season, I have egg on my face. I was proven wrong. I said it would never come because it's been a decade since the full release on DVD.
I might actually buy this one now.

Planetarian 3
Oh god, that moment when Gentle Jena starts playing. This is everything I wanted from a Planetarian adaptation.
Yeah. I'm much more interested in sport as a backdrop for a story than to actually watch people playing sport.

ReLIFE 11
I recall at the beginning of the season, firehawk asked if ReLIFE's scenario had anything to say about the state of adulthood in modern Japan. With this episode, I can affirm that it definitely does. Not that it poses any answers to Japan's social ills per se, but through Kaizaki's story it confronts head on the toxic work culture that is epidemic among Japanese companies, bringing up the term "black companies" which I have not heard until now. Regressing a person's outward appearance and sending him back to high school is a form of escapism from the cruelty of the Japanese workforce, but this series is still acutely aware of the rough nature of reality, even dampening the pleasant nature of the escapism by having Kaizaki struggle to pass high school courses and fail miserably in P.E. by being physically out of shape. That makes its ultimate optimism feel more genuine.

Great to hear even if I'm not American, quite excited to see this and hopefully the UK release date is announced soon.
Now they need to try getting the rights to the Shinchan vs Godzilla episode

Yeah, I'm somewhat interested in seeing Anno's Godzilla as well. (More interested than seeing any more Eva from him, that's for sure.) I'm still holding out for Funimation to announce theatrical rights for Garo Divine Flame, though.
You and me both!
I'm interested in his other live action work as well, since I haven't seen any of it. I've heard very mixed things about Ritual, so I'm a bit wary about diving into it. Has anyone here ever seen it, or any of his other live action films?
That would be a good starter into the dystopian psychological anime.
I'd probably recommend it over Texhnolyze to be honest, lol

Battery ep.2
There are so many assholes in this show, I fon't know where to start. Nakamura and the little bro are the only characters I like at this moment...
So, tell me this,

So, tell me this,
did he just fuck up his arm and now will be a show about him teaching his little brother how to play baseball?
That was the first episode of Cowboy Bebop I watched, someone told me to start there then go back to episode one.....not sure why lol.

Diamond is Unbreakable 14
14 episodes in, and I'm still having my mind blown by some of the direction techniques on display here. The door transition was amazing, and the manga-esque techniques used to visualize Rohan were superb.
I guess Heaven's Door is how Araki gets the material to write Jojo, huh?

The indirect kiss skit was pretty funny, but Colette is super freakin' annoying and her voice grates me, plus the other parts just weren't funny... uuggh

Alderamin on the Sky: 2
Enjoyed this episode much more than the first. Ikta can let his temper get the better of him in some conversations but luckily Yatori is there to put him in check for the most part otherwise things can get worse for him quickly. With the way Chamille was going on about his life like that though not surprised he snapped. Let's see how things go from here.
