Truly the greatest mecha anime of our or any generation. I hope there's SYMMETRICAL DOCKINGU eventually.

Yeah, the bigger thing they probably would have been looking for was an effect on manga sales. I'm unsure if there was anything to speak of in that department.

In 2012, the volumes would debut at 20k then maybe top 40k and disappear from the charts. In 2013, the volumes are debuting at 40k and ending at close to 90k-100k before leaving the charts.

It's almost a bit refreshing when the girls don't win their auditions. Makes them seem like they're not the only ones at the school, which they aren't. Still, this seemed pretty perfect for Ran, but sometimes there's somebody better. So she has to learn how to become a muse and inspire designers. However you do that.

Please, Nafe sometimes responds to posts from months in the past. I HOPE EVERYBODY IS HAVING A GOOD MARCH!!

Please, I don't respond to posts from months in the past. Due to being busy and the prior fast pace of the thread, along with the fact the world doesn't revolve around NeoGaf and I have other things to do or want to do, I have responded to posts that are about a week old, true, but months prior is a bit much of an exaggeration. I also only make about one or two longer multi-quote messages when catching up and not sixty something posts in about half a day.

Shit makes no sense. The release of the anime should have caused the manga sales to drop to zero as everyone realised that experiencing this series without rotoscoped goodness is pointless.

Yep, I never imagined we would get to this point after such weird censorship in the beginning. What an adaptation this has been.

Tall girls are the loveliest, like Sakaki. WCW is sort of medicore but Kagari UNF UNF, plus that ED is stuck in my head forever.

Nakama!

Still pissed about male MC but Kagari soothes my soul. She could protect me anytime~

This show did not deserve this, at all.
 
D-Frag 1

This was so average it hurts. Like there are plenty of better high school comedies/harems out there. I'm willing to give it a 3-4 episode rule to see if it gets better. The female cast kind of sucks, but the bros are awesome. In fact that's the only part I laughed at, during their antics.
 

Pancakes

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
I can't believe I waited this long to start watching Gintama, this show is great.
 
I can't imagine what buying Anime use to be. It also seems to me the old model use to include tons of extra (physical items) compared to now

That or going all out with vol.1 + box releases and extras so you'll feel compelled to fill up the rest of that box, lol.

nobunaga the fool 01
i could feel my own self worth slipping away from me as i watched this. it's dynasty warriors jerk off material featuring random mech suits with hints of western romanticism. there are signs of glass fleet but nobunaga is dull and lacks any of the dramatics.
 
Wooser no Sono Higurashi Kakusei-hen 01

Another season of weekly 4 minutes of Mamoru Miyano (he signs the ED too!) being amazing and fabulous?

Sign me the hell up!
 
Yeah, it does have Fukuyama Jun in full Dark Flame Master mode as a cocky megane man going for it. Hell, probably more Dark Flame Master voice than we're going to get in the actual Dark Flame Master show this season.

The show will focus more on making the most moe situations it can.


KyoAni. Quality stuff I swear.
 
Space Dandy - 01

Took me long enough to get around to watching this. Feels like everyone else has already seen this xD

Anyway, it was cute. Had some funny bits, the initial Boobs vs Behind sequence was funny as oppose to the proper Introductory sequence. I loved Dandy's little robot friend. It always has happy face :D and the eyes changing are awesome. Not sure what I think of the cat not creature yet but it's voice is cute. Reminds me of Gan-chan from Mini-Goddesses

Animation was good enough, special effects nice. Opening I liked better than I thought, although I've seen way better. Ending cute too with all the dimensional stuff.

Will keep watching going forward.

It used to be even more expensive. 30 bucks a disc for 3-4 episodes. Some ambitious companies stretched 24 episodes into 8 disc volumes such as for Kiddy Grade and Stellvia. Most kept to 6 or 7 volumes though. I loved all the trinkets. I miss that.

You summed up that episode better than I could ever have. Exact same feelings. Which is sad because how many shows have a Game Dev club? Not many, I would assume.

Hey, I'm not complaining. I don't watch Chuuni for the DFM, he's just a bonus. I watch it for Rikka and Dekomori being adorable <3

Nothing wrong with that.

*Bonk* Auu...

Yeah, I just started watching it too. Haven't been posting about it, because I feel like doing episode reviews for such a long show is kind of overkill. I'll do reflections every 10ish episodes and individually review stand-outs or something.

or how about 30 bucks for 2 episode VHS tapes of Ranma 1/2! and that was just the dub! :eek:

But it isn't March yet.
 
I've been obsessed with this man's music ever since i first heard Viva Namida.

In this topic, those that have seen both subbed and dubbed Space Dandy, what's your preference? I love english Space Dandy, but don't care much for the other voices. How's the sub?

Yuushibu 12-end

captain ecchi picard and the gang board dragonship hentaiprise to stop the forces of evil through the power of capitalism. How else could it end? Fino is so adorable it hurts. Season two when? Ill buy it all.
 
It is the best shounen show ever made!
(Which is why it's also probably the lowest selling one and depends on the power of horny fangirls to survive).

Gintama is actually one of the best selling shounen anime adaptations - the best selling, I believe, for a show that has gone on as long as it has. (The original Fullmetal Alchemist is the best selling overall, but it only lasted a year.)

I used to trade fansubbed tapes back before the internet. I also own all 13 VHS ADV releases for Eva.

/getoffmylawn

My first glimpse of love hina was through mystical fansubbed vhs tapes in college. Back then was a really interesting time. I still have some vhs tapes of stuff like eva and iczelion but hadnt yet caught the collecting bug.

How old ARE you. What a fogey.

Not as old as firehawk! I just got into the anime scene really early.

All my VHS tapes are still in a closet back home. I really need to dispose of them one of these days.
