Look at yours truly!To follow up on the update I did previously, I will post the remainder of the US Anime releases for the month of February 2015. Releases from 27th of January to the 3rd of February can be found here: LINK (Links go to amazon.com unless it's an exclusive item, price correct at time of post. Some still don't have links or box-art)
Blu-ray
DVD
If you find any errors or have any tips, please let me knowI'm thinking of just posting a link to this in the thread as the releases get closer as a reminder but feel free to use this yourself.
Had it preordered for awhile, the dub is one of Sentai's best so Im really hyped. Should also be getting that Tiger & Bunny movie too.
Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu 1-12
With such a unique premise for the show I wasn't sure what to expect. It's cliche and has a lot of running gags that go on way too long, but it was still pretty entertaining. The animation was pretty good in some sequences (terrible in the later episodes though), and there were definitely some funnier moments. A pleasant surprise I suppose. Aika is best girl! Also the ED was pretty catchy.

Going to rewatch the last 4 episodes of Durarara!! now (already watched 1-21 + 12.5). After that I can finally watch the second season. After watching the first 2 episodes of S2 I realized, that I pretty much forgot everything. xD
Also, Ping Pong. Going to take a look if that show is really as good as people claim.

Naruto Shippuden Episode 397
This chuunin exam is amazing. It got me to rewatch Naruto pt1 again from the chuunin exam and it is also just as amazing. Shikamaru was a great proctor, I cant wait to see what other do.
Also I guess they are using this to give Neji lots of screentime since we havent seen him in ages.

Another satisfying episode.. and what impresses me this eps seem packing a ton of character and tone and yet its very balanced all-around..
Outside of major scene, I really like the cinematography lesson by the director, the producer team also had great scene in this episode.

Fafner: Exodus Episode 4
This is getting all emotional now with the parents and relatives of the new pilots trying to inspire them but also to deal with them now going into a defensive role protective role.
Amatarasu and Tsukuyomi best ones.
I liked the comedy with them changing into their suits it was funny.

It is an adorable show yeah.
Nothing special though.
The show doesnt have some of the best girls in it, but you made all the right choices here. Im proud of you.
Its worse than you fear. Beyond nightmares.
EDIT: Seriously though... It starts with they typical gun fight with some clever tactics. After two of the combatants have been taken out cut to...At first I was in shock. Then I cried. Then I cursed the name of MikeHattsu and all who come after him!elf girl masturbating behind a tree, getting off at the tactical genius of usagi-san.
I love this show too. It seems to cause such controversy.
Read this in your voice and it was twice as funny.
Pure scandinavian evil
This show is super adorable and will wash away the sins of any recent anime that transgressed you.
Defend Upotte? I even bought a copy!

Well at least you identified the good parts!

Tokyo Ghoul Root A 04
It was only a matter of time before the "impenetrable" Ghoul cell was gonna get busting into. This episode was really great at building up tension by showing jut how powerful Aogiri are and also revealing some shocking backstory. It's no wonder Amon became an investigator after what I learned about his childhood. Shinohara was a badass as usual, and also showing off Arata's Koukaku, which is pretty fucked up if you think about it. Its esentially like showing up to a fight with armor made out of the corpse of the opponents father. Kaneki looks like he's got issues to deal with. Maybe joining the bad guys wasn't the most healthy thing to do.
And hurray, the negative filter is back! I missed you =/

Nothing I will say hasn't already been said but Patlabor is my favourite series so it's always great to see more people watch it and enjoy it. When I first watched Patlabor I actually started with the TV series, Patlabor on Television and then it's sequel Patlabor The New Files. I have to say these two series are truly worth your time if you enjoyed the Movie timeline, 100% without a doubt. Even of you didn't, I'd still recommend it.
The TV series and it's follow up doesn't focus on the labors themselves and the mechanics that they are comprised off as much as say The Early Days OVA. Being Oshii and all that you expect that level of detail and world building. The TV series focuses a lot more on the human characters with a large portion of the episodes focused entirely on just them alone.
It's a very funny series, and very varied in tone and scale. Some episodes are very much focused on action while others focus on more mundane scenarios while a few are borderline silly, in the best way possible of course. You'll be on the edge of your seat but will also laugh your ass off as the series runs it's lengthy but never tiresome course.
Great music from the background stuff to the awesome openings and endings. The voices are all consist to what you've heard prior, obviously the script isn't as intricate as the Movies but that goes without saying. Just all around awesome.
I'd actually say by watching the TV series and OVA first I actually ended up enjoying the movies more as I'd come to love the cast dearly and seeing how they grew was emotional. Some of my favourite episodes are the ones in which not much happens because the characters are so amazing to watch. Do watch all the series, you won't regret it.
Oh and the 3rd Movie is pretty good too. I don't know how well it is received around these parts but I greatly enjoyed it as a thriller/horror movie that takes place in the Patlabor universe. Based on a segment in the manga if I'm correct?

Man... Rolling Girls episode 1 really was too good to be true, practically fell asleep in episode 3, don't like any of the main characters, should've been about green girl and the safetypin chick, dropped.
Episode 2 was just as good as the first one. I was pretty meh on episode 3 too, but I won't write it off yet.

Pretty cool episode going over character design and finally dealt with the editor. Goth Loli was awesome

Yeah its a magnificent boxset. So much happiness packed into that one box.
The dub though...ARGH
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I needed this.
To be fair, at least two other shows also had Miss Monochrome in them. Im not sure what the connection is but she showed up a lot, to my enjoyment.

A bunch of stuff that already got shipped to me early, but interestingly I see Comic Party in there back from the dead. Already have ancient DVDs though so no buy.
This part right here made me squee so much. Worth watching the episode just for this sequence and that surprised squeak.
The closest we have is Taisho Baseball Girls and that wasnt goth loli. It was sufficiently cute though! I would certainly watch such a show.
Webm is truly the future. I am weeping. What is this sorcery?
What is the secret?
I dont see any falling sakura petals. This is not the most firehawk thing ever.

Like an old married couple.
Actually enjoying the Chunin Exams so far.
Being reminded of all those good memories from Part 1.
Are they the ones running the exam now, ~chu?

Shikamaru was in charge of the 1st part of the exam and Temari is in charge of the 2nd.
The filler is taking many opportunities to show the two of them together and interact with each other.

Good. They best pair.
Thanks, looks like it might be something fun to pop in and check out after not watching it in forever, ~chu.

Well, that was a fun, short little mecha show. It's super simple, and not very complicated. But it doesn't really need to be. It's straight up enjoyable super robot action.
Best part of it though is the OP.

I'll get started on that shortly.
All I hope from it is that Fire Wars plays during an awesome fight in this OVA. Song's too awesome to not be used.

Animator Expo #11 - Power Plant No.33
Finally, another story focused short in the series. I like the music videos, but we've gotten a lot of them lately, so it's nice to see some actual dialogue and plot again. I love kaiju settings, especially those which use them in interesting ways tied to society, so this was right down my alley. It's the sort of short story which has a really seductive setting, filled with interesting details and teases of what the larger world is like, but instead of doing something bigger with it, it tells a rather incidental story. That's fine for a short format, and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I sure wouldn't mind an expansion of this in a longer movie, net anime series, or whatever. Maybe this can be Yoshiura's next project.

Power plant no 33 was the best thing that studio has ever done, such a compelling world. I wish it had focused less on the people and more on the leviathan class entities, they were glorious.
Power Plant No. 33
So that's what would happen if Godzilla was used as an atomic battery. Makes sense, but you would imagine that the people of that city have a backup plan because of what would inevitably happen with all Kaiju...they must fight.
Oh, and I guess was directed well and looked great.
Also, whoever designed and animated the monster and the robot deserve a pay raise.

Funny story. This show is so consistently good, I have nothing to really say except that I really enjoyed this episode. Goth loli is amazing. Ema is adorable. Animators are incredible people. As a designer, I know the pain of constantly having your work criticized and having to remake things without any guidance over and over again. I feel your pain
I would watch every single anime they introduced in this show. Give me goth loli baseball damnit!

I was starting to feel bad for Naru's parents, but then I realized they just let her run around the island all day every day and they have to put up with her less than anybody. Not that Naru's bad; in fact she's quite entertaining. She's just a real handful.
Which ones are her parents, anyway?

Another great episode. Totally went a different direction with the character design stuff than I was expecting but still was enjoyable. Got to learn a bit more about other members of the cast besides Aoi and it was nice to just see them out relaxing for once.
Holy crap she can get that leg up there.

So we get a taste of Raging Heart's and Bardiche's new powers, as well as the power of the Book of Darkness. And we have a new masked man who seems to be...neutral? Hard to tell.
Episode 6 was a lot more interesting, as it delved into the background of the Cloud Knights and their relationship with Hayate. Nothing too surprising, but it did help to humanize the characters and explain their motivations.

I wonder if they will try to turn against the Book after using it to heal Hayate, if it comes to that.
I've haven't started watching the new episodes of Shirobako since the break, but I just have to say that this is the cutest .gif

Ah yes, feels good to have an original piece of work again with some good animation. Definitely enjoyed it, although I do wish these type of things could be longer.
Freakin' TRIGGER's at it again......this time with a good writer.
