Black Rock Shooter 06

The first 2/3 of the episode was totally super terrible. The story and writing in this series is really amazing. It's like what would happen if Hideo Kojima was a huge fan of the OVA, and was given free reign to reimagine a TV series based on that complete with his most outrageous fanfiction take on where the direction of the story should go. Truly... amazing.

The action this week was really good though. Some really creative shots, and great effects animation towards the end. But the final 1/3 of the episode storywise is totally WOW. Somehow even though it was totally STUPID, it worked. I'm actually pumped for next week's episode.

After watching the preview for next week's episode, I'm even more pumped. I think this is proof that if you eat too much bad food, you end up liking it. I am a victim of my own inability to walk away from this. Only 2 more weeks. COME AT ME MARI OKADA!

 

[Crash Station]

New Tsuritama CM is out.

Definitely looking better than C.

Well it doesn't look as cool as [C], but at least it seems more interesting than Mononoke and Trapeze. Will give it 1 or 2 episodes.

But then what would be the banner of the Lupin thread?

Damn, I wonder if those literary girl scenes in Nichibros are a reference to this.

I don't want to have to say this duckroll, but I think you need to be protected from yourself.

What I'm saying is, stop tempting me to watch this show. I've stayed strong and avoided Guilty Crown but it's easy to start watching junk food.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

How many points did he lose for crimes against humanity proper aspect ratios?

Narag you should totally switch to forced 16:9 for G Gundam. It makes Master Asia's fight scenes even more bonkers awesome with elongated limbs.

I let that slide because he was watching Stellvia.

Hot damn! That's all the justification I need to stop switching back to 4:3 for GAF screenshots.

I for one welcome our old/new cajunator overlord.

. Then shit gets real. This show needs some new ship designs though.

 

[Jex]

You might be disappointed. All the announcements I've read today describe it as a bold revised take on Lupin the Third that leverages specifically on the adult flavored eroticism in the source material. Fujiko's sexuality is one of the key points of the series' themes.

Well, I'm sold. It's not quite as bold as Oshii's idea, but that's probably a good thing.

Really, they had me at Fujiko.

This would be an excellent picture, if it wasn't lacking Sawako and Ritsu.

no one cares about Mugi.

Your heart is full of hatred.

Stupid question: is your avatar Subaru?

 

[Jex]

Yeah. It's weird. I grew up watching this program that showed scenes from Takeshi's Castle and Za Gaman, so I always thought Japanese people enjoyed suffering, but maybe they don't. It's really a shame.

Schadenfreude is different to suffering.

 

[Noirulus]

Yup.

Ano Natsu 2

I like this. a lot.
Lemon and Kanna are definitely my favorite characters. Kanna is so fucking HNNNG when she's drunk

Spoiler

DAT DYNAMITE JUICE

. Also, delicious jealousy.[...]

Anime tends to give the dangerous impressions that drinking will only lead to wacky fun hyjinx. I consider this to be irresponsible.

 

[cajunator]

Yup.

OMGHHHHHHHNNNGGGGGGG

DONT DO THAT!!!

Thats why Bartender is so great. It shows that drinking leads to deep thoughtful introspection about ones life and the choices they've made.

 

[Jex]

Damn, even says it in the AnimeGaf brochure.

Come now, we're far too lazy to produce a brochure.

As a resident of the chronically alcoholic state of Louisiana I can assure you that it does EXACTLY that.

 

[RurouniZel]

Yup.

Though so. I bet Suzutsuki brushes her teeth every morning. XD

I wasn't planning on watching BRS, but that is some powerful marketing right there.

 

[cajunator]

There is very likely to be a fanart of this somewhere. You guys saw the results with Mei.
I sense a wonderful growing trend.

 

[Noirulus]

OMGHHHHHHHNNNGGGGGGG

The kicker is the super hnnnghh wolf-eating-sheep background.

I'd actually pay money to see that rather than pedoragi's creeper brushing.

Have you played MGS4 and Peace Walker?

 

[Jex]

I feel as tho this series is a failure - from the standpoint of it being dubbed and such. dont get me wrong - this is fucking Lupin its gonna be great. but crunchyroll will just want its fucking grubby hands and its just gonna end up be a mess in the end. SIGH sadly on this one.

I've tried to understand this particular post, but after a few moments of confusion I must admit defeat.

Yeah Im tired of the knife looking ships, surely the fleet in the sea of morningstar doesnt only pilot knives.

Brushing one's teeth has been ruined forever. You can't really ruin brushing other people's teeth because that's a pretty unusual occurrence to begin with.

 

[cajunator]

Same. I mean seriously, the show has al icense to be pretty creative here. COme up with SOMETHING better than a fucking knifeship.

Kill it with fire.

Now, I think that's a tad harsh.

 

[cajunator]

I DO want to, and I'm about to.
I hope I don't die!

Probably won't suffer too much. I have remarkable tolerance for garbage.
I eat durian after all.

First head tilting, the teeth brushing. Destroyed.

When will it end, Shaft?

WHEN WILL YOU BE SATISFIED??

The problem is, I kind of do already. I already marathoned through Ano Natsu after neglecting it for weeks, I could easily do the same for BRS.

Yet, I shouldn't. I mustn't. I need to stay strong.

We should all remember the lesson of Anne of Green Gables: accidental drunkenness only leads to ostracization and despair.

 

[Jex]

I just hope streaming in general doesn't kill off my beloved physical disc releases

Then Crunchyroll WILL be the villain.

I'm ok with it though since it allows more people to enjoy anime legally.

Well, it's unlikely that physical media releases will completely cease, but it seems highly unlikely that the traditional model will stick around that much longer.

Indeed. I think we're headed for a world of streaming + high-priced pseudo-imports. Would sort of mirror the Japanese model, simply swapping in streaming where they have TV airing.

I can't say that I'm a fan of the high-priced physical media angle, especially as it means I simply wouldn't buy a lot of stuff, but it seems to be the most successful model for now.

Physical media better damn well stick around.

So... A new Lupin III anime from the director of Michiko to Hatchin. And Fujiko is the main character.

GAF?

Well that's an exceptionally low bar. But I'd say it looks good.
