That fits his m.o.

At least, in Grendizer's case, a large part of it is that Toei's executives thought it had to be as standalone as possible, in spite of Kouji's presence, which is kind of ironic since he's only in the show due to their insistence. There's even a pilot episode without any ties to Mazinger at all.

Welp. I guess It was too much to hope for considering the original BD came out relatively recently.
For what its worth, I cant figure out half the shit those shows are saying either. However I am endlessly entertained by Ikuharas work, so it really doesnt matter if I "get it"
You can be completely confused by his stuff and still get immense enjoyment from it.
Holy shit you werent kidding!
Thats TLRD levels of lewd. Like that Momo ice cream scene.
This...is amazing
Hell no. that scene has to be WITNESSED.
AOTY all years.
Wait, is it?
Yeah, his profile shown in the kickstarter page is all different (Bandai Visual, hack//SIGN, CANAAN) not to mention different birthdate.

Haikyuu!! - 01
This one had gotten some pretty glowing praise throughout the course of the year and, going from the first episode at least, I can totally see why. The production values and overall animation quality were definitely higher than I was expecting from the outset. It's just a really fucking cool intro episode and I'm already finding myself invested in seeing how the dynamic between the protagonist and antagonist develops throughout the course of the series. Sports anime isn't something that I've typically gravitated to but 2014 seemed to have had quite a few hitters on that front.

And the initial 6 or so episodes are probably the weakest part of the show. It doesn't really shine until the cast expands later on.

I told you this might happen! Cagliostro was a special case because we knew it was getting remastered before hand and it was getting a simultaneous inclusion to the ghibli collection.

It's funny.
Before this episode most where thinking .. only about what cute shipgirl would be doing cute things , and now we're ready to spot the death flags in order to guess who is going to sink..
It's like the mindset of the viewers has changed. Next episodes are going to be good.
The books have some stuff that is impossible to do in a TLRD..the very lewd is strong in this one.
Yeah, you are right. I had it coming for expecting something like that without any information beforehand pointing to such new treatment for this. :-(
At least I still hope for good reports about the picture quality of the other works from this box (equal to their previous high-definition digital disc releases, I suppose).

My guess is that these will be largely the same, they are repackaged with some small changes for the boxsets and extra features about the director which was on the Miyazaki box and this one too. I'm still sorta bummed I have bought most of them separately but I could have saved a ton on the boxsets, especially with the current yen.
So many light beams.

Ranko pre-dates Yurika. Just saying.

I can only wonder if they will embrace the 3mins blu-ray extra scene time and deliver the version that every fan of this franchise deserve.
Can someone more knowledgeable than I explain why it's announced as a "roadshow" for July when it's a series, not a single movie? I didn't think that was a generic term for premiere date - or is it a series of movies?
Looks legit:
Director: Shinpei Miyashita
Character design & AD: Yoshiharu Sato
Screenplay: Hiroyuki Kawasaki
Is this Ghibli?
I mean, sure, the shirt's a bit of a mess visually, but conceptually I think it's awesome.

Naruto Shippuden: Season 17 Episode 396 The Three Questions
Wow this new Chunin exam is really good. Shikamaru's exam is much better than the one of the first season. I also love how people are remember Naruto-niichan even (Konohamaru ftw).
Yelling was kind of the dumb solution, how would anyone tell voices apart.

I actually thought the action scenes were generally better in Zero, UBW's fights outside of like 2 are messes of direction.
Anyways I hope Ufotable doesn't do anymore Fate/ stuff after Heaven's Feel, though Tsukihime on the other hand...

So she's of the same level of quality as every other aspect of the show.

As much as I love Tsukihime along with Ciel and Kohaku from it, no just no. I don't want to see another anime make the attempt to adapt that nutcluster of a story together in some form that would play well for TV audiences. I have no doubt it would be hard to understand unless you went through the VN several times.

You know, I am quite fond of Shirobako. Maybe I should buy the BDs. Hmmm.
For Near side they can just adapt it as something akin to the manga which blended the Arc, Ciel, and Akiha path elements into one cohesive narrative very well.

How would you even adapt the Far Side stuff where Shiki is in his room for most of it?
A film adaptation of Hisui's path would make a great thriller.
Aikatsu! Akari Generation 117
Dream Academy hasn't been completely forgotten from the show's world - in Sumire's audition at the end of the episode, there were two girls in the school's uniform. Their time is over, but it's good that the show does remember its second season in smaller ways. Weather Girl Akari is pretty fun so far - she's carving out a different path from Ichigo, and this is one major way to do it. Sumire's signature song remains amazing.
There's still cards to sell, and it looks like next week introduces another new girl to the fold, Miyabi Fujiwara, the most traditionally Japanese Aikatsu girl. If anything, I'm surprised it took them this long to work in that archetype.

I suppose. Thinking back on it Arc and Ciel's routes are near mirror images except at certain important moments though I'm not creative to imagine how Akiha's would fit in there.
Yeah exactly, I didn't really "get it" either until I read the ANN review of the first 3 episodes, but I've enjoyed it regardless.
Looks pretty. *searches director* Yeahok, staying away from this one unless it gets a lot of acclaim.Looks legit:
Director: Shinpei Miyashita
Character design & AD: Yoshiharu Sato

Gotta say though, 2015's shaping up to be a hell of a year for interesting anime. Even if most of them fail to meet expectations, at least the industry is trying. Spring will be insane.

Guys, do you think that I would like Dragon Ball (the OG) if I didn't like the Buu saga? Majin Buu was dumb to me, IMO, I want to see Frieza, Cell, etc.
Also, what is the best version for me to watch? The OG, Kai, etc.

Well he is nowadays swimming in Youkai Watch money so he probably has already forgotten his glorious Gundam series.

Maybe by the time of the late Red Ribbon arc (with Tao Pai Pai's introduction), since it's at that point the show starts having serious antagonists.
