Those were frisbees you dingus.
I doubt these children are up at 2AM waiting for the latest Love Lab episode.
My cellphone gets better speeds here than my internet back home :lolNow they're art.
This is amazing.
KyoAni will be dead after several years of disastrous sales for mobage adaptations and their IPs sold to another company who will license them out to gaijin distributors for cheaper.
and by that time Hyouka will be so old that no one will want to license it. In 2029 only Funimation still exists and only as a paid streaming service for One Piece and hentai.
KyoAni may get desperate and make K-On S3 to keep the lights on. I hope so!
I partly got into anime watching random volumes of G Gundam, Carried By the Wind, and Scrapped Princess that I fished out of a dollar bin at Big Lots. Of course, that's impossible these days with the death of 4-episode volumes.
Tuesday Morning at least sold video games at one time, which in one instance made someone very, very rich:

Because the anime world needs more shows about moe high school students doing jack shit. And KyoAni will bank. And make Beyond the Boundary 2: Electric Boundaryloo
How dare you.

I saw one displayed next to some cave paintings at the museum.
That's going to be out a lot sooner than 15 years.
I don't know how those savages survived back then.

I genuinely haven't.
On the contrary, we were much healthier and free of modern disease when we were hunter-gatherers who subsisted on a diet of mammoth steaks, wild berries, and Tenchi Muyo.
I can still remember where the end of side 1 of Jurassic Park is.
Nothing says cinematic immersion like having to flip over a disc every 50 minutes to keep watching the movie. And the 12" discs were so user-friendly too, I don't understand how it didn't catch on.
I'm sure Chris would approve.
Is that like a floppy from the future?
Sounds like a Kotaku headline waiting to happen.
Here I thought they were pizza cutters.
I feel like that's how late I stayed up to see Endless Waltz the first time. Children today lack spirit and determination!
Are we talking about KyoAni or Square-Enix?
At least we got some good Pioneer-funded OVAs out of it.

Square Enix isn't dead. They're planning great games such as:
The World Ends With You...Bejeweled
Final Fantasy VII Mobile.... Backgammon
All for mobile devices. The true future of gaming
WHO NEEDS CONSOLES. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHHAHAHAH
Well, it actually had pretty great video quality for the time. Certainly far better than VHS, and better than some early DVD encoding too.
its not about what anime needs its about what KyoAni can do to stay in business.
Ive watched movies on one. NOW WHAT?
Some kind of news channel?
If you can't appreciate Nils Nielsen, black American weeaboo child prodigy, running around spying on people while wearing a ninja suit, then I don't know how you can appreciate anything.

AOL sounds like a bad name an anime would give to a foreigner or alien.
I mean if they can call somebody Kal El with a straight face then they have no shame.

suck it supes
No doubt he sees a little of himself in Nils. Perhaps GBF is Ezalc's Watamote moment.
I remember seeing fansubbed Love hina back in 2000 at college. Anime was really quite exotic and exciting. Before that I had a few ova vhs tapes but that was the first tv series I saw in that format.
Its no meme, its a space station!

What's Compuserve?
Truly the American dream.
Didn't HP buy them to make laptops?
One post up there is apt, KyoAni is dead by same sense Square-Enix is dead by swimming in dem mobile money and their fan tears.
I'm pretty sure it was an ancient Sumerian Death Cult.
Truly there is nothing more representative of America than a boy named "Genius Samurai" piloting a Samurai themed Gundam wearing Samurai clothing.
Niels Nielsen is clearly more American than Chibodee Crockett could ever have been.
I remember when floppy discs were actually floppy.
What's Amiga?
Oh dude Mega Man III for PC came on actually floppy discs. Weird times.

Oh and I rather like the President's mind games.

And thus the anime thread devolved into a nostalgia thread.

I mean, sure, we're not entitled to immediate simulcasts or anything, but including over the weekend, we've had three shows suddenly get extra delays on CR (Sakura Trick from Friday mornings to evenings, Chu2 from Wednesday mornings to Thursday evenings, and Seitokai Yakuindomo* from Saturdays to Tuesdays) for no given reason other than vague "delivery delays". CR is usually really good with keeping to their schedules, so if they really are having trouble with some part of the production process (be it encoding or subtitles or whatever) then I can sort of understand and sympathize, but things seemed to be going fine for those shows' simulcasts for the first couple weeks of the season so of course there's going to be some disappointment.

So Fullmetal Panic has the A-team's song.
Gatchaman Crowds - Episode 11-12 + DC12
I've been debating whether I even wanted to type out more detailed thoughts on this after finally finishing the series the other day. It's been so long I dunno if anyone cares anymore. I really enjoyed the conclusion though. I avoided the broadcast ending when I heard it was incomplete, and finally looking at the TV ending after finishing it makes me wonder how that even got to air. It's not a vague climax, it's just plain unfinished. Pretty embarrassing for NTV to even boardcast something like that for a big franchise like Gatchaman, instead of just delaying it so it can be finished, or giving it a longer broadcast slot for the end.
As for the completed ending itself, I really liked it. It's very true to the tone and message of the series itself, and Hajime's final solution to defeating Berg Katse is true to her character, consistent with what the show built up to, and satisfying for the entire series arc. The Tachikawa Crowds Game was also a fitting conclusion to the ongoing theme in the show with regards to social media and how it is both a positive and negative force for the world depending on how it is used.
The director's cut conclusion to the series also adds many slower scenes showing the aftermath of the incident, the state of the characters directly after the incident and also two years later, as well as scenes showing how they fixed the Neo Hundreds themselves after collecting them all.
With the ending completed, it definitely feels like a better series overall, but still far from perfect. I wish it weren't such an inconsistent production, and at least it's creative and unique. Hajime's definitely the best depiction of an autistic savant as a lead character I've seen in an anime. <3

Gatoh is a HUGE fan of B-Grade American Action Flicks and related tropes. He must be, because it's all over FMP.
