Did we do a best of 2013 thread or poll? If so, can some1 link me? Thanks.
:OOOOOO
Reminds me of those shitty gifs that people used to make after the 3DS was announced that tried to simulate what the parallax display would look like.
The Berserk outtakes are the greatest thing on Youtube.

This is awesome.
Companies need to add outtakes to releases more often... I remember watching Haruhi and Lucky Star outtakes a while ago, and those were pretty good.

I would say it was more because they stopped developing Cure relationships all over, and basically left them as shells from Y5, making them much less interesting as a result. It also led to some characters getting screwed (Rin in particular) because of that lack of development. Milk strangely also gets screwed over despite finally being a capable fighter.
Both of these appear for like less than a second in the ED. Toei pls
In essence, it does rely on what you know of the characters, but the problem is that the development was the interesting thing, not exactly their base personality, because lack of development will make things less interesting, no matter how goofy it may seem
*coughsmileprecurecough*
As for the ending.... I think there were other problems with it
nevermind the whole DirectorxFlora but not really shit. And Nozomi being too alpha by stealing Urara's main squeeze.

I'm trying to take your criticism of the show seriously but my brain just keeps defaulting to "Whoaaa that GIF looks sooo siiiick". My first exposure to KyoAni stuff was with Kyoukai and I was more or less content to watch the show for its fight scenes and super pretty animation. Honestly I didn't realize this series was action based.
I haven't seen the original series and now I've totally gotta do that after I've caught up on my 2013 backlog and make my aoty list.
Its terrible, and for 15 bucks Im totally buying it.

And speaking of figurines, I did play exactly one slot while at Otakon Vegas (I don't really like gambling) and for a $4 investment I got $151 back. I think I'm going to go spend that on AmiAmi, though I'm not sure on what.
It's not action based. It's a comedy, where some characters have this thing in where they think they have super powers and stuff (like kids) and when they fake a fight in real life (like using a umbrella as a weapon), this "interpretation" of the fight happens.
But still, those fight scenes are way better then any stuff in Kyoukai, so....
Yeah and heres another one. These came with Midori Days dvds.

what's genuinely shit? (shows from recent years i found shit: Infinite stratos,SAO, Guilty Crown, Blast of Tempest, Sankarea)

much appreciated.

That's ... kind of a really cool premise! Now even more hyped to watch the show.
Yeah it seems like thats what they are trying to do. But why?
Oh god. Im gonna die watching this.
You do have impeccable taste. I especially love that top KYH
thanks. Shes a huge figure and lovely!

I seem to remember the Madlax DVD's having some really funny outtakes on them too. Made them worth the money I paid back then.

would have saved lives. But some people care more about a chunk of ice and rock than people's livesWave Motion Gun
Except that doing this would be making the same
mistake the iscandar did , witch led them to destruction
So it wasn't the right choice.

Hearing Sean Schemmel screw around is always so hilarious to me.

It has more to do with the fact that I think the Golden Age arc is not just the best, but pretty much the only worthwhile arc in Bersek and having the end of it revealed at the beginning isn't particularly useful.
Yes, I know, I am "totally crazy".
The funniest outtakes are when Griffith starts breaking into song.
Which wasnt shown in that compiled video.
His Part of Your World is amazing. "I want to be where the S&M is"

If think that the fact that there are a big chunk of episodes that are just pointless before the finale didn't help.
And yeah the final part was lacking because they couldn't reuse the same method as the first season to finish thing up so they tried to change thing ..and the result wasn't that great.
SPlash star is so much better ..in fact you 've just finished a average season to start a great season .. Do keep in mind that it starts similar to the original series but it will becomes it's own thing later. SS also has the second best finale of the entire precure franchise so far.
You are crazy.

You don't get the Shaft-isms or Ume-wideface designs in other anime though.
None of them are yuri!
Speaking of which, how many copies of this have you preordered?

For what it's worth I stopped reading Berserk after the Golden Age arc pretty much so I'll give you that.
Also, I suppose so, my perspective comes from me having read it already.

In fact there's been so little movment on the main characters journey that Miura has to bring in new characters just so someone can get character development. Meanwhile, Guts is a stoic guy who spouts one-liners, the same that he's been for about two decades.
The pictures are really pretty though. I'd love Miura to just do cool illustrations for stuff.
?Guts is pretty talk-active guy in whatever form he's
Depressed Guts, Killing Spree Guts, Batman Guts, etc..
Berserk have incredible atmosphere, even if you like Hawk's story the most.. the other 2-3 arc have atmosphere that only Berserk had.. that alone make "Hawk is the only worthwhile arc" point is absurd.
Yeah I'm fine for people talking shit for later part.
But Berserk still damn fine after Hawk arc, Retribution arc is the the best arc afterall. Demon invasion feel so real in that, Awesome experience..

I wouldn't say that I'm talking shit about Retribution (sometimes known as Conviction) so much as I am putting it to one side. The Retribution arc is full of genuinely cool stuff and is a great setup to launch the story back on it's way but that's all it is. If the story doesn't get on with itself and go anywhere interesting after that then it's kind of a waste.
Meanwhile Golden Age tells an (almost) complete story from beginning to end with a number of characters experiencing character arcs and with a great rise and fall structure. It's also thematically satisfying e.g. friendship, power, leadership, dreams etc etc.

I love puzzle games, so a puzzle oriented anime is right up my alley. I'm not totally in love with the characters yet, but still, it's early on.

And even if it's anime, I totally didn't see Ana being a boy coming. Kind of... out of left field?

Can I please have a spinoff with Touji as the main protagonist?
He is to good to play second fiddle to bakatora.
Elevate Suzu as well, since she's been far more entertaining than Natsume.
Now now, Rin didn't need GoGo to get screwed over, she did a perfectly good job of that in the first season already.

Bath scene was best scene. I should do another rewatch. I miss Brain Diver and Hologram.

GoGo just had to go further though.
I mean, I understand that Rin was a straight man to a fault, which lessened her appeal and whatnot, nevermind being the only person to fail at getting a fairy pairing, despite Toei implying that Rin is so hot, she rises the dead. But she at least had some connections with others, namely Nozomi and Karen. She has neither of these in GoGo, and therefore just feels like she's just there for no reason. It hurts more considering she's not remarkable in any way.

So its better than Game of Thrones.
I'm sure there are people somewhere who believe that in this universe.

forgetting "now or never" ?
never thought i'd see the day
Well it's alright The whole show still works and everything pretty much the same as before , except some light twists.

The journey is more important than the destination bro. Retribution even outdoing eclipse atmosphere, you feel like in hell from mid-arc.. its very incredible(Although you can argue eclipse is more intense because the scenario)
Hawk have complete package as arc, but I think you seeing nothing from Berserk if you haven't seeing the Dark Souls-esque adventure aspect from Berserk that so invasive.
So I really disagree with discouraging people from Berserk with implying its only have one worthwhile arc.

OP looks like something you'd see as a Persona game intro except way worse.
oh this setup is too convenient...
OP and ED are both a big improvement over first season's (and no, not because of naked girls...) but that's not saying much at all. dunno if I watch the rest...

Well it's more chuu2 minus the drama, some parts were actually funny I thought like Nibutani/Dekomori scenes. I almost feel ashamed to say that I kinda enjoyed it D:
ewww
