Yeah, but there's generally less fan interest in LNs and they take longer to translate because they have more words.*
*Note: Baseless assumptions.
It's one thing to translate the ten words of dialogue in this week's One Piece, it's another to translate a 50,000 world novel that has no real audience.

Having watched the first episode now, I vaguely remember reading a chapter or two of this shows manga. And now with that in mind, that's the last time I'm going to watch this show with my TV unmuted. Come half way through I had to yell at the Xbox to pause while I got my headset on and muted the TV.

heh heh.
You know, I always wondered how will adapt episode 111 and onwards in the anime. Because in the manga, the narration and direction changes up a bit to another style: slow and even more detailed, the narrator has more presence (as if someone was telling you the tale of what happened) and there is a lyrical tone in his voice, the camera work (well, the equivalent in manga) is more spectacular and cinematographic. I hope they get right next week.

The Last of Us anime. Boom.
Starring a younger Senjougahara as Ellie and Kaiki as Joel.
True. Still doesn't really answer my question though. If I want to make a post about a LN I'm reading, where should I put it? in the anime thread? in the manga thread? should I start my own thread?

Senjougahara isn't moe enough to be Ellie and Kaiki is too much of a pretty boy to be Joel. I mean that beard....

Right. Every time someone uses the word filler in that manner they should have one finger removed.
These are community threads. It doesn't really matter beyond who you want to talk to about it.

Man, this is an ADHD High-School anime packed full of cheap sex jokes. Orgies, enemas, dick jokes... even hymens. They all get a shout-out. And then there was the bit at the end with raining vibrators. Holy shit, it's pretty bad. And there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason from one moment to the next. It's just a bunch of random shit happening with heaps of sex jokes shoved in wherever. At least the animation is nice. I was relieved when it was over.
Still waiting for a new series from this season to be good.

I didn't watch Cross Game for the baseball.
This is an anime adaptation dammit; It's got to be moe! We're talking a younger Senjougahara here. Suuuuuper Moe.
Senjougahara is pretty obviously the Lalah Soone to Kaiki's Char Aznable.
She did say she was willing to
turn tricks to save Araragi

Fine if you say so. She does have the killing tendency down.
People always say Char has a thing for teenage women, but really he has a thing for broken women. Lalah, Reccoa, Haman, what's her name from the movie. All of them.
Also consider Kaiki's shower scene. But if Kaiki is Char and Araragi is Amuro, is Meme Bright or Garma?
you act as if you've never seen SYD before
Let me preface this by saying that Char is one of my favorite anime characters, but..
Haman was young when Char was on Axis after the OYW. There's no sign of him having any feelings for her after that (unless I'm just forgetting). Lalah was about that age, as was Quess in the CCA movie. He never really cared for
Reccoa
They're pretty clear what Char is after. In CCA his
final speech
Lalah to be a mother figure to him, which I took to mean that he wanted her to provide the love and guidance that he hadn't felt from anyone since he was a child (at which point his parents were still alive) and not as some kind of weird Oedipal thing. He fancied innocence in a world that he'd seen go crazy (half of humanity died in ONE YEAR and both parents had died/he had been kinda brainwashed into seeking revenge by Jimba Ral). Not to mention that he wanted people to evolve pretty desperately (including himself; He never saw himself as a true newtype), and the youth were on the frontlines of that.
It should also be noted that this is Japan we're talking about. He wasn't doing anything that out of sorts, considering.
Lalah was 17 or so. That's ollllldddd for Japan

I'm not sure if the material has gotten worse or I've just gotten tired with it because while I enjoyed the first season, I've had a similar reaction as you to the later OVAs and this episode. It's not funny anymore.

Fushigi Mahou Fun Fun Pharmacy 1
Came here because of the Doremi, stayed for the potentially mind bending animation that might make me yell at Toei because lord knows I love that very much!
That being said, I'm not too sure on how I feel about Potpourri yet, but man that witch design.
Incidentally, I'm watching a Magical Pharmacy anime when I need some medicine for my stomach right now, brb.

I would say it's a summer romance, a loving relationship built on the transience of the moment, much like a relationship you have with the girl at summer camp that you'll never meet again when Fall comes around.

HOLY SHIT THAT BUDGET
Who did they blackmail to be able to make that damn episode? God damn. They even had a freaking
POV Dog camera
They made a completely pointless and needlessly expensive opening teaser with best ENGRISH all for a single gag!
This is not how you make anime! I expect the next episode to look like crud though. lol
But man. It's back.
:Homuhomu
That was quick!
Why not!
And, hey, it's okay because they lampshade the fact that the series itself has no real point!
I suppose at this point you either know you want to watch this show or you don't. I'm not sure what it is, but I've always found this amusing. Even the fact that they carried over a gag from the OVAs amuses me to no end. The fact that they're all sex jokes is perfectly fine by me, because at this point, it's about trying to generate as many ways to make a sex joke as possible and cram them all into a 20 minute episode. It could be about *anything* really; the manic energy is what makes it fun.

It's because it doesn't rely on being suggestive or using double entendres. It just goes for it. lol
please tell me that the arpeggio sales are just because of kancolle
PLEASE
we might have a biter; I didn't want to imply anything about the end!

Magi S2 - Episode 13
Fantastic episode. I'm glad I picked the series back up with ep8. I dunno how long this is going to last, but they're actually doing a pretty good job with it now. This was a big episode with the Titus/Aladdin fight and it didn't disappoint one bit. Good direction, actually paced well, solid action, exciting movements and great effects, even the music was nice.
If every episode of Magi was like this from the start of the first season, it would be one of the better shounen action series.

Mushishi Tokubetsu-hen - Hihamukage
Damn that was good. The rhythm, the backgrounds, the light touches of music, the mystical vibe, the character drama not overdone but well developed, and all that good cinematography. And the callbacks to the previous season. That was the excellent Mushishi we know.

Code Geass Akito 2
As Duckroll said there is an odd conflict here, between a more sober, dry style that the OVAs use (in comparison with the original series) and the more anime~ quirks that still persist. I mean:
I could swear they increased the breasts size to her just for that scene.
In fact, the first OVA was a bit boring with the new more serious style, except for the action scenes.
in this second OVA the plot doesn't move forward a lot until the last part.
But it ends in a point that it will make the 3rd OVA very interesting, as part of the mystery has been shown and the plot twist, and add that the coming of certain past characters of the series...
edit: oh, and the action scenes are still great. All dat cg...

(oh, and talking about her, damn is she stupid, how many times is she going to forgive the 3 terrorists!)
in this second OVA the plot doesn't move forward a lot until the last part.
They just are assigned a new suicidal mission, the terrorist japs try to escape but they stay at the end, and in combat we learnt of the new Geass users and the Akito brother appears.

( . )( . ) Code Geass has what Space Dandy craves.
There's a reason why so many people are practically weeping with joy at the announcement of a second series. It's a legitimately brilliant show and one of the few examples where the anime is more than a match for the manga it's based from.
A ton of anime are a match for their source manga, but only a handful are unquestionably superior.

Finally watched all of kyoukai no kanata. Was a relatively decent show but lacked in some regards and the ending should've remained bittersweet but then again I have no idea how the LN is going. I enjoyed the show but the pacing just felt off near the end. Great animation though.
Edit: Oh and SYD Season 2 will be the greatest anime to ever be created in the history of ever. My god is this show holy.

Woah! Movie was really far out there and freaking great. Never knew this was so negatively received in Japan when it was released. I do understand how some hardcore fans might dislike the movie since it's focus is not on Lum and Ataru. For me that wasn't a problem, I do love the original concept of the show and all the wackyness of it, but this was still a great movie. I think this is my favorite Mamoru Oshii film after Patlabor 2: The Movie and Angel's Egg.
