"Kinda" is probably the best word that sums up the series.
Yay, a friend stayed up and ripped the full Anime Mirai 2014 trailer which was part of a terrible stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA6HKZPiLjc
Quality sucks, but there's quite a bit of footage. This year looks GREAT.

All look great, furry one first among equals though.

Man, good stuff.
First year's crop didn't have anything offensive, at least.
I got you covered
No kidding. I didn't feel particularly strong about it either way by the end. Still glad I watched it though.

Anyway, completely uninformed kneejerk reactions give me 2 >= 3 > 4 > 1

the first and fourth look interesting to me. No idea what they're about but I heard shinigami in the fourth one and there was also one of those creepy suit men. I'm interested.
The furry anime on the other hand will live in my nightmares for weeks to come

I agree with you. The fan hate can be a bit much and I'd expect more from Jintor :/
The SAO reactions?
These all look really good this time. anime mirai savedYay, a friend stayed up and ripped the full Anime Mirai 2014 trailer which was part of a terrible stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA6HKZPiLjc

On one hand the Toonami thread is not the anime thread and the entire culture is different, on the other hand that type of mudslinging is really something one should keep in check even when in the midst of a furious hatewatch.

What the fuck :'(
I enjoyed the first half of SAO when it was like cheesy Log Horizon romance. Then I stopped when it became harem.
So, Magi S2 #19 is delayed on Crunchyroll again because of "production problems". Not surprising. And it just aired in Japan. So let's see the results....
Once again there were a ton of animators and animation directors on board. Probably rushed! But with 11 animation directors helping on the episode, it should at least look okay right? Right?!
Nope. RIP.
At least it's on break next week so A-1 can stop dying for a while.

are tentacles the kid's meal toy?
Instead of a toy its dozens of tiny magnets and they just give them to babies and no one cares for some reason because safety regulators don't exist in Reki Kawahara's world.

A-1 really needs to get its act together.
Pedo.
But fries are the only thing I really like at McDonalds...

Now I want to see how that running looks in motion.
If there is any motion.
McDonalds fries are disgusting even by fast food standards.
Really I think my feelings for the show fall alongside what ultimatemegax posted about it a while ago:

It's not like I go around anime cons picking fights with SAO fans or something, come on.
Stop hurting my feelings!
Well shit, Nagahama's going to back SakuraCon in late April, for the first time in several years. Just in time to be able to talk about the first few episodes of Mushishi S2.

All my envy directed at you folks in the northwest (and those traveling there).

It was good.
There's a bunch of stuff I could say I had issues with, primarily that the movie looks bad. About as bad as an anime film nowadays could look without being unwatchable. It's unfortunate that there was simply no talent behind the production, because the material really does deserve better.
At least the directing remains functional, surprisingly for Kishi. I think he did botch some or other scene, but for the most part the editing and storyboarding help well to convey the story and characters, even if the actual layouts and animation are not up to par.
Ultimately though, I think the movie succeeds as a drama. Perhaps it's just the novelty value of having a story like this animated in a medium where deviant characters and gratuitous "quirkyness" are consistently brushed off as comedy fodder (Chuu2 I'm looking at you), but I definitely appreciate that it bothered to examine the thematic of social outcasts in a relatively realistic and grounded way. It consistently avoided jumping the shark and going completely over the top, and that's why the climactic scene comes off as a bit of a disappointment, but the rest of the story did make efforts to get me invested in the characters so that gripe doesn't break the film. I guess there are a bunch of scenes and characters that feel perfunctory after the fact, and with some tighter editing that time could have been devoted to flesh out the main girl and the relationship between the MCs more (not that it absolutely needed it, but everything helps when you have 80 minutes to work with).
In the end the balance is positive. It's a good film. Add me to the "what Chuu2 should be" crowd.

I didn't know I could buy frozen arby's fries until earlier this year. It pains me to think how much more memorable 2013 might have been had I but realized.
Bleh, those curly fries are slimy and gross once they cool down even a little.
McDonald's fries are decent for what they are.
In-N-Out's are weirdly bad for some reason.
Can't you also get Checker's/Rally's frozen?

Now I'm trying to think what the anime equivalent of Runza would be: amazing all around, bizarre to comprehend, and unknown but to a few.

Eating zombies or what?

I wonder if any of them will try a kickstarter afterwards.
