And now for the bizarre older license of the day: Sentai has licensed Zettai Karen Children for digital and DVD release later this year. Where this came from, I have no idea.

Oh neat. Wonder if I should check it out. I'm a huge fan of the manga. Of course I'm sure it ends before the
time skip
which is when things really get good.

Kurogane no Linebarrels 2

Um.... is Koichi a villain protagonist? I mean he isn't exactly being portrayed as the nicest guy. At first I thought he was just selfish and cocky, but now he's starting to get a warped sense of justice to fit what is convenient for him.

Still liking it though beyond the character designs. Reminds me too much of Heroic Age which is total yaoi bait.
 
Melody of Oblivion 7
Midnight Hiyoko was an awesome Monster Union agent name. Millionaire Beaver? Not so much. Soundtrack is great at least but I'd like to get back to the real monsters. The agents are angsty and Millionaire Beaver's Giant Toy Rat can't hold a candle to Horu's bull bus.

Also, damn it, Forester. I didn't sign up for this:

Yami 5
Why does Gargantua fail at being fabulous? Why does that poor cave girl have nothing to wear? Lilith's thumb trick is a frontrunner for highlight of the series so far.

Arjuna 10
Lighter, more family friendly ep this time around. Liked it although the father issues seemed out of left field. Guess it's been hinted at though and it was up to me to pick it up what with Tokio never being home and shaking his old man down for a new motorcycle just because he could.
 
Persona isn't the only anime about glasses 4

Lemon is still the best thing about this show. I also just noticed that this guy is wearing a turtleneck in the summer along with the rest of his uniform. How in the fuck?
 
Catching up again.

Inu x Boku SS 1-3: So foreveralone loli meets someone who finally treats her as she is instead of based on her supernatural lineage who happens to be a secret service agent devoted to her life. They also happen to live in a apartment complex with other half human half demon people due to persecution by full demons. Oh she's also really rich and is not honest with her feelings and orally abuses people despite not meaning to. What do we call those again?

Maybe if it gets more interesting I'll check it out more but otherwise meh. There is some Hnnngazawa and Yukari Tamura as the main loli.

Amagami SS+ 4: JUSTICE. I think that about sums it up. I think I enjoyed Rihoko's arc in SS the most because Junichi seems to be a slightly more composed person compared to the other arcs where it's lolpervert. On the episode itself, it was pretty well done for what it was. There always seems to be one those sparkler firework scenes :firehawk. A nice subdued conclusion that fits well with what the rest of the Rihoko episodes conveyed.

Call me Papa 2: It really is getting Usagi Drop in here. If it keeps on that end of things it might end up being a more decent show than the terrible CG people could make one believe. Hina and Yuuta playing on their Wii was pretty cute.

Symphogear 3-4: I guess whatever remnants of Kanade there is in that relic is what gives Hibiki her beast mode. Kanade was pretty cool in her heyday it seems. Coughing up blood and getting power like a boss. A villain of sorts has been revealed and she has that relic that caused the incident two years ago. Whip blades are always pretty cool. What the heck was up with those drinking bird noise that shot out gooey stuff. I found that way hilarious. Now that's a summon. Tsubasa's swan song didn't kill her. That's not a swan song at all!? The training montage at the end of episode 4. lol akuma and makoto. Genjuro does have some crazy super human strength or something (his poor shoes).

On a separate note I always love those shadow weaving abilities where they staple you down to where your shadow is.

Bodacious Pirates 3-4: The OP really gets me hype. While the actual pace of the show doesn't quite match the OP, I still find it interesting enough. That picture with The Search for the Red October is hilariously kind of right. I feel like once they get past the first voyage we can get into some pirating. On the whole I'm enjoying as a slow sf romp for now. The music also really good though. The Celtic-like pieces <3
 
There's a reason why Heat Guy J is the butt end of many ANN Cast jokes. That and Rumiko Takahashi Anthology were some of the many colossal failures of Geneon Entertainment.

Also, Funimation probably not doing well if they have to cancel a DBZ release.

It looks like they're discontinuing some Kai volumes and not outright canceling anything that hasn't been released yet, which doesn't sound like quite so grave a situation. After the DBZ box sets and Dragon Boxes, it makes sense that there wouldn't be as big a market for the Kai releases and an even smaller audience still for the Z 1.x blus (though I hope those stay on the market for a while, I waited years for an uncropped, uncut release with the Faulconer music).

And now for the bizarre older license of the day: Sentai has licensed Zettai Karen Children for digital and DVD release later this year. Where this came from, I have no idea.

Yes, YES. ZKC is a great series. Completely out of left field, but I'll be picking these releases up for sure.

I actually gave this show a shot just cause of David Production and a mucc op. The op track isnt bad, but that show sure as hell is.
 
Another 4

I think a lot of unnecessary confusion would be avoided if someone simply took the time to explain to the guy just what the fuck is going on. As it stands, it comes off as a really cheap way of artificially building some tension. Not to mention it just generally drags things down.

At this point I'm more interested in watching this to see how much more creative they can get with the "curse".
 
Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 2
kPZy3.jpg

Well, I guess it was bound to go there.
Old men pulling down high school boy's zipper besides, pretty out of there to spend the first part of the episode in complete gibberish.
That kinda worn me out, so the second part was lost on me, but I did enjoy the sudden warfare in the third part.

It's kind of annoying. There was no good reason not to tell him what was going on, and now they wonder why shit is all fucked up. One thing I am interested in is the old lady who is in the doll shop,
she repeated the same lines from before, and clearly didn't recognize Koichi. I'm wondering if she is some sort of puppet/doll. Also, the nurse dying was sad, I liked her :(. Pretty cool way to go though.
 
And yet the Town Moves 1

Hmm.
This show is fun but kind of bizarre.
I love Chiaki Omigawa.
So hnnnnnng.
I dont like that sentai went the fansub route and put notes all over the screen.
Very disappointing and unprofessional.
 
Gundam Seed HD 5

Episode 5 for best Gundam Seed episode thus far. Kira was so epic,
he changed the strikes gear in mid space flight combat and unleashed that epic laser. Although La Flaga managed to win...it was such a cheap victory.
I love the little details of the Archangel (almost as epic as Gundam Age's Diva) firing Valiant Lasers and moving x degrees to dodge attacks.
 
Steam Mobile Beta

I just got in the Steam Mobile Beta. As a gift back to my nakamas in Animu-GAF, I am giving you guys first priority in getting my extra invite to the Steam Mobile Beta. This is an app for iOS and Android which lets you access Steam and chat with anybody on your Friends list. First person to PM me gets it. If nobody PMs me in an hour, I will post in the thread on Gaming side to offer it to anybody who wants it.

Maybe she's just a senile old lady.
And after what was said at the beginning of the episode, once the nurse mentioned her brother was in the same class it was apparent she was not long for this world. I really liked her too. :(
 
Mirai Nikki 16
tumblr_lymbb1ewqy1r8v7y3o1_500.gif


Fun episode though
once again betrayal for Yuki. Sad that its his father this time as I legit thought it was going to be a happy moment until Yuno spying on him revealed the sad truth. Though I guess he wouldnt do it if he knew it would kill Yuki. Yuno's eye scared me...

Miss Kousaka and Akise, hope they have greater roles in upcoming episodes.

I would want this but I don't have iOS or Android. Feels bad man.

Yep this is
Final Destination: The Anime
Guess its time to sit back and enjoy the
laughs.
Why the fuck don't the kids just tell him what going on? All this beating around the bush in infuriating and its pretty obvious to see whats really going on from the audiences POV. Oh well It will just make everyone's eventual death that much sweeter I guess.
 
Cowboy Bebop Episode 1

S’alright, didn’t blow me away or anything but I see the promise. The music is amazing though.

Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit Episode 11

Kind of boring but the look into the spiritual world, or whatever the hell it is, of Moribito was interesting.
 
Gokujo 1

Ehh, a rather dumb and trashy 5 minute yuri ecchi short. I'll take what I can get.

These glasses bother me more than they probably should.[/quote]
I've started to notice this shit happening in a lot of recent anime. It's kinda annoying.

[quote="Chet Rippo, post: 34705250"]I think it's just you.[/quote]
yo, what's the source of the k-on avatar?

[quote="Miri, post: 34705325"]We do, and you know what this means.[/quote]
