I think the only place where you can be an asshole and get away with it is any of the sports threads. Anywhere else and you post at your own risk.
 
Dirty Pair 18

There was some weird-looking art in this episode, particularly the vehicles. The content was amazing as always though, especially the climax.
Driving that tractor trailer through the police station like a boss, and then blithely driving away as the station crumbles into the ground behind them.
Quintessential Dirty Pair.
 
Ano Natsu 5

I'll say one thing. The writers are not fucking around.
There are no misunderstandings now... so time for full on angst mode!

I just watched the first five eps too and must say, this isn't half bad for a romantic teeny comedy. The only problem I see so far is that it isn't a Lovely Complex. But then again, probably nothing in this genre will ever reach the levels of Lovely Complex again (well except production lol).

When the main girl is an alien with a mascot sidekick, you're not going to be anywhere near as sensitive and fleshed-out as Lovely Complex. Ano Natsu isn't half-bad for what it is, though.

Yep thats what I think so far. For obvious reasons it feels a little bit ripped off Onegai Teacher which in itself should stand against it, but to my own surprise it doesn't bother me much in this case. Well it is a little bit more on the angsty side, thats for sure.
 
So when is Epic Mickey going to be ported to the PS3?

You should be banned. But yeah, purely stupid shit will get you banned anywhere, but I can agree that it's with a good primer in the gaming side that the issue of ' animugaf sheltering' and, ultimately, naivety dissipates.
 
Ano Natsu de Matteru 05:

Remon... you just win. First she puts Ichika in a totally hot leather outfit, then proceeds to write a script where they are given a premise, and then basically have to adlib everything. XD
Kanna is bothered by Ichika and Kaito growing closer, and I love how Tetsuro answers her question with "Couldn't be more obvious," So true, Tetsuro. Also, Remon totally fucking knows everything about Ichika. Granted, I suspected she knew from the start but she's being blatantly obvious now. I wonder if she herself is from the same place Ichika is from? XD

I feel bad for Kanna though, she's basically the third wheel in every sense of the word. She's the only thing in the way of the Ichika/Kaito pairing and ALSO the only thing stopping the Tetsuro/Mio pairing. :/ And it's not like she's trying to mess things up like that, that's just how it's ended up. Anyhoo Kanna is very clearly sensing that she's about the lose, but decides to visit Kaito anyway. She was clearly hoping Kaito would invite her in, but had to invite herself in after Ichika distracted Kaito with the "emergency" of the leaky roof. AAAAAAAAAAAND once again Mio is nekkid at home with that bear. That's still a very very odd thing to do... gotta sell dem BDs somehow I suppose?

Then, Kanna and Ichika talk about their respective family/friends, but once again Kanna feels Kaito slipping away and uses what she probably views as her last resort. The "So when are you leaving?" card (though she feels guilty immediately after asking). She's having a hard time fighting for Kaito while still trying to be what she views as a "good person", and now feels completely despicable.

Tetsuro, you're a total bro to Kanna. Frankly, I knew what he was doing the second he showed up at Kaito's house the way he did. But yeah, he knows that it's better for Kanna that Kaito know her feelings but she won't tell him because it would make everything awkward. So he takes it on himself to do so. Now the show gets even more interesting!

This has become my favorite show of the season, so I'll end with my usual: WHY ISN'T IT NEXT WEEK YET?! >:(
 
Religion threads too. There's a good reason I prefer to avoid them.

All of those listed are honey traps. I just don't post in them.

Cajun, if you're reading this, remember you always have Madoka with you on your phone.

Also, I am now looking forward to Ano Natsu de Matteru.

Yep, it's a nice looking and fairly standard teen romance. Not too shabby, I suppose.

It makes me so happy when this can be legitimately said about a romantic comedy.
Haha, no kidding. I'm used to the standard harem set-up, so this was a nice surprise.
 
just finished that thread and cajun kept diggin himself deeper and deeper into shit, plus people making snipes that he watches anime so he don't know better lol.

Damn i really need to watch some anime one of these days.
 
Ano Natsu de Matteru is what happens when an anime remembers that Romantic Comedies are much better when they're not harems!

Harems are cool too as long as all the girls are interesting/some of them are. I much prefer it when the dirty main character doesn't get his hands on my wives.
 
We have to know who you are first.

I've been posting quite a bit, just at odd times. Maybe even odder if you're American. You might miss my amazing (not really) posts which are full of important (debatable) information. They are mostly about moe cute stuff though.

Well that sounds like a start.
 
Unlimited Blade Work

I can see how this movie will be horrible for people that never played the VN, they cut off all the plot and focus on the action. I would call this a supplement to the VN than an actual standalone movie.

They also lighten the violent a bit in the movie,
the part that archer killed magician's master, then beheaded the magician when she was busy crying for the dead of her master.


Gundam 00 Season 1 Eps 1-10

I like this more than I expected, the setting have so much potential, and a change from the old gundam space colony vs earth formula. I think this is the first time a gundam show based on real nations, and actual conflicts (war in middle east, etc).

I do have some complain, usually the most annoying part of a gundam show is when the main pilot go into "emo mode" for a few episode. At least something like gundam seed only have Kira, this show have 4 problematic kids that need years of therapist.

It is interesting enough to keep me going. Going to be long show, 2 season + movie.
 
Each standout on AnimeGAF should arrange for understudies in advance in the case of a ban. Like, trejo and darkside would become honorary K-On haters in my absence.

I shall aspire to be firehawk's "mono no aware" stand-in, though I admit I still need training. orz
 
I don't understand why you have that tag. Is it ironic? You love shounen and all its tropes, after all.

But Cwarrior, obviously. You are united in your shounen fandom.

It's just separate. Don't read it as if I am a shounen iconoclast, read it as if I am into shounen and I am also an iconoclast.
 
I haven't seen anything related to Saint Seiya so I'll definitely be checking this out then. Umakoshi owns.

pretty much

Looks like Disney has high hopes for The Secret World of Arrietty, since they're planning an opening weekend release on more than 1200 screens.
For comparison, Ponyo opened on about 900 screens, and Howl's Moving Castle on a mere 200.
Fingers crossed it does well.
