Is it weird that the only reason I'm playing Bravely Default with JP voices is because Edea is the exact same voice as Mio from Nichijou?

Nagi no Asukara 1

#TeamTsumugu even though he has sweet FA chance.

He is winding down now. The only recent anime score he did was for Saint Seiya Omega which had like no budget and not good. Currently he does get some work outside of anime in live action which isn't unusual with stuff like a recent Sentai or dramas but those mostly range from being cheap, awful, highly variable or has a bunch of recycling, definitely not up to par with other live action scores he has done in the past.

I've read that he jokes on his blog about being too old, so coupled with his current output he's probably bored and burnt out at the moment. Don't think being given low budget affairs helped either.

In case anyone doesn't know what else he has done, He also did The Big O, Full Metal Panic, Gunslinger Girl etc.

Now I'll shamelessly promote his Gundam Symphony albums in which he went to the London Symphony Orchestra to record on different occasions for Seed, Destiny and the 30th Anniversary.

Thanks for the info, I guess better him winding down than being overlooked, sad to see his fire is gone though. Hopefully he has a comeback project in the next 5-10 years if he gets a creative spark again and someone wants to back it.
 
i haven't watched the new stage movies yet ...i'm scared.

Second new stage is better than the first one,
despite having less... speaking roles than NS1.

Yeah, voices aren't distributed to everyone. To make this sound rather fucked up, only 2 characters have speaking roles in all 3 movies. Tsubomi/Blossom, and Miyuki/Happy

That's actually normal when you have a franchise with too many characters.Tales of for example , only pick part of their cast , you have the main roles ( aka the most populars ) and the side roles for the sake of the story.

Guess I'll play BD with JP track. Really didn't like the 5 minutes I played with it with JP and I don't like the dub either.

Also my FC is 2809 9344 1465 . If anybody here wants to my friend give me your code back thanks!
 
Just a nonsense chant that sounds cool iirc!

Ah well. I'll live with it.

I was going to make a comment about the shit hot-air balloon, but I don't have to! The show did it for me.

So I'm assuming whatever Guy saw in the Zonder is foreshadowing the real "big bad" of this show that's going to end up being a part of the final boss somehow.

Promo for the Keroro flash anime:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VMdyFRnzXio

New designs for all returning characters. Their outfits are new, while their general designs are much closer to the manga's now. Also, Tomosu, Kaneami, New Keroro and Black Star from the recent manga chapters are shown there too.

i haven't watched the new stage movies yet ...i'm scared.

The New Stage movies always focus most of their plot on movie original characters, with the Cures mostly being there for some attempts at comedy and fighting scenes. Unlike the DX movies, they also don't even bother bringing all the VAs of past Cures back (New Stage 2 at least had a better distribution of returning VAs than New Stage 1 though, which focused exclusively on Heartcatch and newer shows).

Nou-rin ep 5

Holy fucking shit. The fujoshis, yogurt, yuyu hakusho references and the motherfucking epic jojo references.

I declare this show the best comedy show of the season.

Protecting the garden, I see you Bravely Default.

I completely forgot we're getting more Love Live! in April until they tweeted the channel list https://twitter.com/LoveLive_staff/statuses/432124928490344449 poor website already hammered. The only new thing it seems are photos of the new key visual http://polyphonicar2010.blog51.fc2.com/blog-entry-16755.html

Fuuuuuck yes!

Yeah I recognized those from seeing both posted recently here.

Oh my heart, just came across this.

I think it's just supposed to represent that the glasses are so thick that you can't fully see the character's eyes.

Yeah. As someone with very thick glasses this is likely the case. Though the way my glasses are designed its only extremely thick in the edges and actually tapers much thinner in the middle of the lense.

It's pretty funny, though I think D-Frag might still be better. I wasn't expecting so much DTL. The Jojo references in the
kiss scene
were pretty great.
 
Sakura Trick - 05

So much yes
The whole episode was basicly more political intrigues than you could accept.

The relationship tree is getting more and more intresting to watch.

i mean ..SO MUCH YES


Second best moment of the week.

In summary , this episode was :

Awesome....this whole episode is awesome with the fights and the rain depressingly hitting down on them.

Strike the Blood Episode 17

Much of the first part non action stuff was dull but once Vatler arrived on scene it took off. He easily wins award for best humanitarian in anime. His familiar is epic and then his plan. Hype.
 
I always felt Nichijou to be too forced for me to enjoy really. While comparing it to shows like Minami-ke or Azumanga it just felt as if at every single turn they were attempting to make a gag which felt fatiguing to watch. I usually don't have a problem with shows like this but this one stood out like a sore thumb for whatever reason.
 
Ojamajo Doremi ♯ - Episode 40

I'd like to preface this by saying that this was definately one of the best episodes of the series. I've watched the whole thing now and what I have to say about the later episodes will be in later post but since KirbYayoi requested it, I'll do a post just for this one!

As to why I liked this episode. I think it was down to the fact that it was the most relatable of the emotional character focus episodes. The good relationship between siblings and how they help each other out in times of need or in times of sadness is definately something that holds true to me and this episode was a great example of that.

I wasn't getting emotional over it but I was pretty close, especially when
they finally bought the piano and then it was placed in the exact spot the old piano was.
Also when
Pop and Doremi played their duet on the new piano, Doremi playing after years of hating the piano.

Honestly it was a good thing that Episode 41 ended up being a more humorous episode. Softens the blow so to speak!

One thing that impresses me is the portrayal of the parents in that episode. Completely diametric from the Peanuts style incomprehensible adult, they are all too real and understandable.

Fresh Precure! 9

i9l1b2QzIdE0o.png

Wester wat r u doing

Mktn knpk episode. lol, so Miki's brother and her "boyfriend" really are the same person, I thought something was off there >.> Precure purity restored xp (Though I hope someone tells poor Yuuki-kun about this development…)

Aside from that, it was a pretty standard "Cure abandons chance at achieving her dream for the sake of remaining part of the group" episode. Felt like a bit of a retread of episode 4 of GoGo, except a little more realistic, since reducing the team from three members to two feels like more of a legitimate handicap than reducing it from five to four.

On the other hand, at least Urara got a new attack and the opportunity to finish off the episode's Hoshiina herself like a boss in that episode. Miki didn't even get to land the final blow here! (Though I guess that fits in with the "moral" they came up with afterwards, saying that the important thing is all three of them being together, and they wouldn't have been able to win if any one of them had been missing.)

…Oh, and Kaoru-chan the doughnut man is a terrifying driver.

Log Horizon Episode 19
Bf9qe1wCUAA7pox.png

I still remember when Team Tohya were barely able to hold things together but to see them holding their own against the goblish really made it feel like weve seen them grow up through their difficult struggles and trials. This is what the anime should have been from the start as its what a game anime should be. ITs finally being something much more entertaining and pleasing than SAO.
Unfortunately the ending could have used some work, if Rudy truly is gone like that :(
