DID YOU KNOW THAT: A good aesthetic female character relies solely on the shape of the brows.

Brow game must be strong.

When I thought I was enjoying Cowboy Bebop or Fate Zero, I looked at myself in the mirror and realized I wasn't enjoying myself with those shows. I was enjoying myself at them.

I'm tired going to bed
 
I didn't mind Hanekawa until the first arc of Monogatari S2. She was insufferable as the POV character.
Thankfully she goes away until she has Kaiki around to carry things.

I think the main thing keeping me from watching Nagi no Asukara is that there is no clear way of knowing who will end up with who. And that shit is just stressful for my romcom loving heart.

Late reply but just finally saw 23 haha. D: Thing is, Nagiasu isn't even a RomCom. It's fucking Okada drama and the most complicated love whatchamacallit. Even @ 23 in it's still a giant mess. Although melodrama hasn't been as heavy handed

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.

worst girl
/werstˌgərl/
noun
noun: worst girl; plural noun: worst girls

1.
Hanekawa.
synonyms: Yoko Littner, Ryuuko Matoi; More

I was going to make a comment about how there aren't any characters for Shiki in that definition, but then I realized that it's hard to pick a worst character when they're all terrible.

Of course, I still haven't seen the second half of that show.

Golden Time 1

So people said that this has some more normal relationships unlike a lot of other anime bullshit. First episode isn't exactly showing that what with Koko's crazyness but I guess it's too early to judge. I like how the protag questions whether the pink haired chick should be in college when he looks way too young as well, actually a good majority of those people look too young but maybe it's just the art style.

On that though, Kaga Koko. What an unfortunate name, jesus. I think Corvo might be the only one to get that but yeah.

Anyway, at least the name was redeemed with Linda later on.

Finally, protag better join that samba club. Everybody knows that's where it's at man. "Latin Music" club my ass, shit was practically the sambodromo in Rio man.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
I've been catching up on One Piece and I just started episode 604. Does anyone have thoughts on the slow-motion footage at the beginning of the episode? I personally never noticed that put that much effort into each frame to make high-action scenes look so smooth when played back in real-time. Did they do it specifically for that sequence or do I just take good animation for granted?
 
Eureka Seven 8

It really wouldn't hurt to not leave Renton in the dark about literally everything you guys. Also apparently Eureka never changes clothes since its the middle of the night and she's still wearing the exact same thing.

Cannot tell if you're a troll or if you just legitimently have bad taste.

Or maybe you're just one of those guys who just hates everything. Or maybe you just want attention.

Or maybe it's all of the above.

Maybe I'm just joking and it's going over only your head.
 
Just finished Monogatari SS myself. Really enjoyed SS. During Nisemongatari I almost stopped after the toothbrush episode but I endured. I'm glad I did because SS was pretty good all around. Kaiki's story arc was probably the most interesting.

Hachikuji is best girl.
 
Space Dandy 10



Right in the feels. I dig this sort of universal tale and it scratches the same itch that episode 5 and the Laika segment then. Unsurprisingly, I think those are going to be my favorite parts of the show. Good balance of drama & comedy and a much needed bit of depth finally given to Meow.
I was especially glad it was his father that came through as he was the one making the real sacrifice there.

Yeah, the machine is a lathe and it's pretty close to the original, the only error is in the animation, because a lathe rotates the workpiece on its axis, not the other way around. The calendar should be the one spinning.

Urusei Yatsura - 101

In the end the only one there to take a bath was Cherry, Mendou
's subordinates too...but you know they were on duty. I should have expected that end.


Urusei Yatsura - 102


Sakura trying to be all :firehawk and everyone was:
I didn't remember at the beginning of the episode, but it's true Sakura was sick and she didn't get a chance to play with the other kids when she was small.
And in high school she got a little trauma with bicycles.
And what's up with that breakfast?
It was funny seeing everyone freaking out because of
Sakura "illegitimate child".

Kyaa, Rei-san!
Another recap, this time about Ran-chan.

Another recap, this time about Sakura.


Urusei Yatsura - 105
Don't let to tomorrow the problems you must resolve today,
you may have forgotten it if you wait.
Haha, I love how it's not only Ryoko who trolls Mendou, even his subordinates do.
Nice to see Ataru and the gang
joining together to go up against Mendou, that scene of them gathering one by one was nice.


Urusei Yatsura - 106
Everyone playing their role so well here.
Ataru and Mendou have a relationship similar to Bowser and Mario, one day you're kidnapping the princess, the other you're playing golf/soccer/baseball together.

W-hy?! M-my dreams...not like this.
Noooo! I liked Dancing Star more than Pajama jama da.
Urusei Yatsura Parallel works.
Ataru lost the tag game, Lum doesn't understand :SDburton, Ryuunosuke is...a-a-a man in girls clothes, Ataru is too gentle.

M-my dreams.
T-t-the wrap, she lost it...and she isn't going to get a new one or wear a bra.
"Our balls should be more pure...more substantial...Yes, it's our dream. It's our longing. And it's... Ryuu-chan, your breasts!"
Nicely said Ataru. Why was Ryuunosuke playing rugby with the guys, she should be playing volley with blommers the girls.


Urusei Yatsura - 109

Haha, the only correct reaction to Ataru.


Urusei Yatsura - 110

Haha, this class, this class.
Tha CM was shit. Shiiiiiiiiiit, I say. Megane is so sad, trying to see the kiss in the CM, and in the end he's finally broken.
The funny thing about Ryuunosuke upbringing is that her father don't mention anything about women, and when he needs to, he goes out of his way to troll her. Her reactions are always so good.
:SDburton and :DTL for everyone.

So because Hikaru saw Kasuga
using the POWER
, she fell in love with him and is going to get in the way of my Kasuga x Madoka. I don't like it, I really don't like it. Mgrgr!
She doesn't "really" like him and he doesn't like her either.

So 80's, it hurts.
Kasuga you idiot, you had such a nice atmosphere with Madoka!! Mad saxophone skillz, the pick keep flying.
Kasuga's terrible friends think they can get his sisters, but they are still at that age where they prefer food.


Kimagure Orange Road - 04
Look at that deliquent,with that teddy bear. She's misunderstood because people think they can treat her like a beautiful dool, and she's not going to let these things slide. She has guts.
Ushiko-san and Umao-san to break the ice. I feel like they're going to keep escalating this joke.
What the heck, with this story about doing "C", and what's up with "B". lol


Kimagure Orange Road - 05
Tactical Espionage Action Abcb.
Teleport is part of the repertoire of the POWER.
it not even a contest, Madoka is so best girl. Master is a cool guy, like Kasuga's father.


Kimagure Orange Road - 06

BULLSHIT!
Now Kasuga has a rival, but for the one he's not really interested, let him win already.
The sequence where he's leaning from Madoka and teaching to Hikaru was pretty nice.
The animation and the art fells so nice, I don't know why, but it just fells.

This show now makes so much more sense. Glad the studio realized that their show was all over the place and made this episode. Now the show is a lot more compelling. And now with what is going on at the end there it's gonna be exciting to see what happens next.

I'm not quite sure if that's how it happened!

Short 20-second teaser PV confirming that Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆llya 2wei will be airing this July:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DrtaUevsjc

As far as I can tell for now (cursory glance), only staff change is Shin Oonuma moves up to general director and Masato Jinbo takes over as normal director.

There'll be a full PV at an event on April 13.

Aside from Fate/Zero, I think this is one of the Fate/series that more people like than not. I believe I've heard manga people say that 2wei really cranks it up beyond the first season, though I might be mistaken.

Fun fact: somebody at Kadokawa fucked up and, about a half hour before the reveal, accidentally posted a "there's an update coming soon" Twitter message to the official Date A Live account instead of the Illya one.

Somewhere, firehawk is crying without quite being sure why.
