When will a company rise to simulcast Anime movies in america.
Hopefully it's okay to ask about non summer shows. Little Witch Academia just came on Netflix.. I think I've heard this show is good. Is it only of interest to younger audiences? Also, it looks like there is a film on there called Expelled from Paradise. Worth the time to watch it?
Just plowed through Death Note.. read the manga back in the day but had never watched the show since I basically haven't watched much from 2003 on or so. I had actually forgotten how it ended so it was kind of nice to be surprised.

Re:Creators 13
LMFAO. Now this is how you do a recap episode. I usually skip at the first sign of an episode being a recap, and yet they somehow kept me engaged the entire way through.

Meteora spared nobody from her verbal assault. She even attacked the producers and designers of the show
It's kinda satisfying to do it by hand, even though I admit I'm sometimes too lazy for it as well. But if everything is managed automatically I'd never bother to actually look at my profile.
Battle Girl High School 1
The easy way to tell if a show like this will be trash is if they introduce a million indistinguishable high school girls in the first episode without any sort of introduction. I'm all for having lots of characters, but not when everyone is a generic moeblob with a couple of lines to determine which tropes they use.

Natsume Yuujinchou Go: OVA
Mostly a sweet episode with Nyanko-sensei and everyone drinking the old couples special sake. Also really bittersweet though with the powers fading and Natsume thinking about their mortality as they were previously thinking about Reikos. The last scene was beautiful but still had that strong bittersweet feeling.
Miss Hokusai:
This was straight, pretty much a historical slice of life following the painter O-Ei, daughter of the painter Katsushika Hokusai. She was a pretty interesting lead to follow and there was a good bit of touching moments in this, as well as a very sad one. Production I.G did a wonderful job with the animation and with a surprising touch of fantasy to the story there were different styles of it. The soundtrack for this was kinda weird though, one side of it was these fitting classical soft sounds then on other side is a more modern music that just clashes with the scenes and is loud at that, it really stood out.

I'd be happy with just streaming movies at all. That's the one big hole. And I actually thought something Amazon might get into given they stream lots of other movies and it would help differentiate Strike.
That's actually why I sent AnimeLab a praising email when they streamed a bunch of movies there during April, even though they were ones I'd already seen.

Netflix has kind of done that, at least with Blame. Like, I kind of wish that was their focus; getting more anime movies out there. Like I'd imagine they'd have the funds to finally be able to stream Ghibli movies.

Inuyasha The Final Act Ep 26 [Finale]
Holy timeskip batman, Miroku wasted no time these 3 years.
Pretty campy ending here, but it tied things up neatly.
Season started extremely fast but kind mellowed out since Kikiyo doomed Naraku midway through the season with her trap.
Good to finally get this finished, after seeing bits and pieces of it since its original airing on AdultSwim back in early 00s.

So curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to check out the first episode of Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun again to see if the natural need for sleep took me last night, or if the show really did put me to sleep on the first attempt.
Aoyama-kun Round 2 FIGHT
So, Aoyama-kun lies at the absolute ass end of the comedic animation spectrum. This first episode is just complete devoid of anything resembling clever gags or well timed jokes. There's nothing that even remotely tickled my funny bone, and a lot of that is probably due to just how boring the sight gags are in this show. This...
Comedic excellence ladies and gentlemen. The bar has been raised.
Aoyama-kun Round 2 FIGHT
On one positive note, I actually kinda like this guy's character design.

is the most expressive the episode got as far comedy went. The other sight gags don't fare any better. Look the big guy is eating a Doughnut while playing. Look, they're chibi-form! Look women think he's hot because he washes his...hands...a lot...
Move over Sun and Moon.

I think the inconsistency comes from LWA launching with a dub, where as Kuro launched subbed only. I imagine Netflix is crunching data, or just messing around to see what works, and believes that dubs get more views than just launching the anime subbed.
Oh yeah:
Elegant Yokai Apartment Life Ep. 1
Bit of snooze fest. It was.. okay at times? It seems a tad dull though.
Restaurant to Another World Ep. 1
This one was visually more appealing than anything else yet this season. Colors really popped, I like some of the fantasy designs, and I think the Chef's VA is Takahashi sensei from Interviews. That said, man this dragged. Very slow.
Love and Lies Ep. 1
Finally! Something that had drama, suspense, love,
and lies!

O.O oh no. Save yourself. Unless you know that it gets bad and just want to see by how much.

The director put the rock music in the film because he discovered during the process of making it that the author of the original manga would often listen to rock music while working and wanted to pay tribute to her.
Seconding the recommendation for Tsuki ga Kirei and that you steer clear from Kado.
Avoid Kado unless you're looking for something really stupid to happen by the end as it squanders all potential it had by going full anime.

Question about Hyouka.
Ive been meaning to watch it since it is finally available in the US legally, but i honestly have no idea if id even like it. Seems like a high school mystery thing whose quality would be completely based on execution above all else.
Is it worth watching if I
Hated Sound Euphonium
Loved Dragon Maid

seems like you loved the trashy kyoani and hated the 'classier' sooooo probably not?
For what it's worth many consider it among the better kyoani shows.
Hyouka beginning is weak but it pick up as it goes along and ended up becoming one of the best shows KyoAni ever done.

Seen those. Enjoyed Angel Beats enough. Ghost in the Shell... eh, enjoyed it but not a massive fan of the franchise or anything.
But yeah I think I watched til Episode 10 last night. The main character suddenly having a break down cause he mercy killed someone... completely ignoring the fact that he and his compatriots have been shooting, stabbing, and killing every random guard minding their own business for 9 episodes to that point was something I can't stand in anime. Don't try to have those moments of "omg ive done something terrible" after you have been doing it willy nilly the whole time. It falls completely flat.
Not to mention the sudden introduction of their "L" younger, quirky, wearing white, similar power/skill, but clearly stronger. Bingo bango. I'm out guys.
No idea... I tried when it first aired and dropped it soon as they went back into high school after getting super powers.
Same thing with other animes like Seraph of the End and what not. Why/how the fuck is this story about high school all of a sudden. A plot where most of the adults were murdered, the children were enslaved as vampire food /slaves and you STILL found some way to make it a high school setting. Come on with this crap.
I'm fine with high school, fanservice and what not when its the base of it all from the jump. When its clearly a weird not thought out reasoning I just can't.

More accurately: You dislike Hyouka -> You have bad taste.
Do you want to find out the truth about your taste?
Been watching HAJIME NO IPPO
This shit's plain awesome. I don't have much else to say. Finished the first series and the two OVAs and I'm in the middle of of the second series.
One thing I don't like about the second "season" is that the switch to digital production is really obvious (well it started with the OVAs I guess). I really liked the traditional animation in the first season, that old school look was really appealing to me. Oh well.

First minute is a recap and the last 30 seconds is the introduction of the Elite 10.

Non-CG skeleton warriors. Bravo for A-1 doing what ufotable couldn't. Also laughing at Flat being included as part of the exposition section, despite not being relevant until Fate/strange fake gets inevitably animated.

I posted here for many years. I never knew we had a Gaf-chan.

Well, it should be covering one of the best arcs in the series. After that it gets a bit dicey, though it's been getting better recently.
Ha, alright well that's good to know. I guess it is one of those, glad to know it becomes like that in the end.
I forget did we finish the Moon Banquet Festival Arc in a single episode (as the guide I am looking at said it was the 13th episode of soma), or is that what you are referring to because the arc after that Central arc is pure garbage.
I mean the moon banquet festival wasn't bad but it wasn't great either.
