The opening...never....changes! Anyway have fun with CA Arc one of the most polarizing arcs out there in anime. I'm on the love it side, but then again I waited for years through hiatus just to see the arc end in the manga, and then even longer to see it animated.

Someone needs to make a picture " But the opening refused to change" chrono trigger style

Interesting but holy shit, the animation was terrible. Some parts of the episode was literally slideshows and jumping between frames. Considering sales of this season, I can see it getting worse if later seasons get lower budget.

The Idolmaster Movie

This felt like a waste of time. Instead of focusing on the characters we already know and like most of the movie revolves around new characters that aren't seen anywhere else in the series. From what little we do get to see of the main crew is fun and we get another 765 Production movie trailer but eh... The final performance was nice but also underwhelming.

Can someone in the know (or at least with a convincing theory) explain who Roe 2 in Log Horizon really is?

I welcome spoilers. I'm at my limit and this is bugging the crap out of me :S

Go! Princess Precure 4



The theme of this episode is Kirara giving NO FUCKS TO ANYONE, BECAUSE SHE'S A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN WHO NEEDS NO PRECURE POWERS!

Actually, I liked the fact that she said HaruHaru. Now it's canon!

HEY, BECOME A PRECURE! DUN GIVE A FUCK, NOT IN MY SCHEDULE!

Monster shows up. Doesn't scream! DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK! TELLS THEM TO GTFO!

SHE LOVES DONUTS, ANYONE WHO LOVES DONUTS WHEN THEiR NOT SUPPOSE TO EAT THEM CAN'T BE A BAD PERSON!

MONSTER SHOWS UP AGAIN, SHE KNOWS HOW TO OPERATE A CRANE! DIDN'T EXPECT THAT. SHE''S FUCKING BATMAN

GETS POWERS, BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THE MOTW! MUH SCHEDULE! BTFO

Kirara is everything I was expecting and then some. And the best part? SHE GETS ANOTHER EPISODE



It was worth cancelling my plans to buy pants

Oh man! If it's next week then I can wait a week! Thanks

Was there not a new Kuroko this week?

 

[darkside31337]

Was there not a new Kuroko this week?

I still dont know why there wasnt a new One Piece episode this week.

Was there some holiday in Japan or something?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Binging Oreshura, really enjoying it. Kudos to Dezner and GrandHusk <3

 

[Save 'N Quit]

There is but the subs haven't come out yet.

Tokyo Marathon this week, so no new episode.

There also won't be one in two weeks time because of the Nagoya Marathon.

Something interesting about the April noitaminA show Punchline:

On the left is the original character design for one of the girls, back when the show was first announced in late November. And on the right is the same character, as of when the show started up promotion again, three days ago.

Now, admittedly, I don't pay a tremendous amount of attention to character design for anime-original series between their reveals and eventual airing, but I really don't think I've seen a design change like this before -- small adjustments to proportions or hair length or such, maybe, but not a complete hair color and skin change, especially when they already used the old design in motion in a PV. Or does this sort of thing happen more often than I'm aware?

What's really funny, though, is that although she has the new design for most of the new PV, you can see a split-second of her original skin color as they quickly show the character portraits in the first few seconds of the video.

Oh, and if you want to see it even more clearly, just flip back and forth between the old and new versions of the key visual from the official site, where the only change made between launch and now is that girl's design.

Edit: I should clarify, I'm not trying to be judgmental one way or another on the change, just pointing out that it's something I don't feel like I've seen before.

 

[wonzo]

dat japanese racism

 

[Midonin]

That's a disappointment. A brown girl voiced by Tomatsu would've been wonderful. She was cuter in her first design.

(And I did see something like this - something to whitewash a darker-skinned character - in the form of a patch for an eroge. I know these things.)

I marathoned all of One Piece is a span of two months and now the marathons come back to pay me back. Bummer.

 

[Crocodile]

I can't say that show was on my radar but I'd be lying if I said that change didn't make me uncomfortable.

 

[Blusby]

She looks worse now, I guess we have another season with no prominent brown girl.

 

[fertygo]

Brown girl in Soma also got whitewashed, lame..

That's gross and pitiful but hardly surprising.

 

[Midonin]

She's not exactly prominent, but there is a brown girl in World Break.

Now, you're reaching..

Or in that Gundam show.

Really? I mean, against some of the colored manga illustrations, maybe, but compared to the other character profiles on the anime site she looks fine to me.

The only reason I had to watch it taken from me.

 

[rrvv]

tbf she look light brown in volume cover

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Can I watch Gatchaman Crowds without having seen any of the previous Gatchaman series? I wanted to watch this one because of Kenji Nakamura's involvement.

Yes.

Yes, it's completely self-contained and understandable for newcomers. It's pretty much a Gatchaman series in name only.

Absolutely! It's not as tightly tied to its inspiration as Yatterman Night is.

Yellow too strong, Toei pls nerf.

that is such an odd change to make


p.s. Meat sucks, Tadokoro da besssss

This is great. Legit great. It reminds of Fushigi yugi and Story of Saiunkoku. Excellent soundtrack and Yona is a mega cutie. She can also fend for herself a bit which is awesome.

Chu~

 

[fertygo]

tbf she look light brown in volume cover

Its still darker than the animu.. tbf the show coloring is kinda sucked, the color is very pale overall.

Nah, she's the same colour as she is on the covers. Best not to use oversaturated illegal scans as a reference!

This is some bullshit innit

 

[Link Man]

So, I've been watching A Certain Scientific Railgun off-and-on for the past few months, just reached the halfway point of Season 2. This show is just incredible: great action, great drama, love the characters and humor, and the art is really well-done (awesome job by J.C. Staff!). This has quickly become one of my favorite action series.

Awesome episode. I just love how ridiculous everything is.

But why did Chiaya turn into an octopus tho

I love this show. Its a solid fantasy adventure with a great cast of characters.

If I wanted to deal with whitewashing, I'd rather play Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. At least restoring the land from being white washed is part of the PLOT!

I can only assume they got Aerial Girl'd by the authortrash generator of the original work.

Oh it's original? No idea then.

That's nothing. GaoGaiGar Final has a character whose skin tone changes from brown to white halfway through the OVA.

Hyouka - 6

Chitanda gets mad in math class and isn't really sure why, but she is curious as to why her math teacher would get their lesson plan wrong. Why? I don't know, her curiosity is bordering on neurotic.

This was the first episode that didn't really set my world on fire. It was adequately directed, but what was actually there felt so bare bones and irrelevant that it felt hard to care. Can't really think of much else to say!
